Irving and Dogs.

Some years ago, according to the Lon
don Ladies Kennel Journal, Sir Henry
Irving had dog he called Midsummer
Nights Dream. He thought it was a
bull terrier and made present Of it to
G. W. Childs. The animal was exhibit.
ed in a PHILADELPHIA exhibition, where
it attracted considerable attention. This
reused the ire of the other exhibitors,
and they declared that Midsummer
Nights Dream was not bull terrier,
but half bred bulldog. One Of them
wrote on a piece of paper, which was
attached to the dogs kennel, Henry
Irving may know great deal about

Differences of Belief.

From the Philadelphia (Pa.) Ledger, Rep, Oct. l.
That eminent patriot and statesman, Mark
Hanna, of Ohio, has declared i'll published
report of an interview that ''This war business
is not going to cut much of figure in the
coming elections Mr.. Hanna has no great
reputation nor honor as a political prophet
either in his own country or elsewhere. In
fact, he is novice in politics and inexpe-
rienced, and was unknown as a politician un-
til couple of years ago, when the Admins
tration paid its personal political debt to him
by thrusting him into the United State Senate
after thrusting "Honest John Sherman out
oft, thereby concentrating one of the most
shameful political bargains in the history of
the country. There are great many people
of shrewd judgment, of broader knowledge
and more extensive experience than Mr..
Hanna who will not agree with his decara-
ton. These more competent authorities con-
fdently declare it to be their belief that ''this
war business will cut good deal of figure
in the coming elections They assume that
their faith in this conviction is measurably
justified by the Republican losses in Maine
and Vermont in the September contests, and
they similarly assume to find other sustaining
reason for it in the indignant protests of the
entire reputable newspaper press of the coun-
try, in the cry of the stricken soldiers from
the fatal pest camps of Algerism in Cuba and
at home, where they were left to lie unshelt-
tered upon the sodded ground or on the bare
floors OF tents to sicken and die through the
cruelest criminal neglect; where they were
denied every luxury, comfort and necessary
which was due to them in their dire distress
when i'll or dying, These authorities declare
that there is scarcely transport which has been
sent to sea bearing its precious freig hit of the
brave, patriotic soldiers of our war, but car
rying with it no proper accommodations for
ill and wounded men, no proper medical at
tendance or stores, not even food, which will
not send to the polls not only multitudes of
soldiers to rebuke by their votes the .inexpres-
sible blunders and crimes of Algerism, Blu!
also great hosts of friends and relatives who
have mourned and will resent the deadly in
fuenees and consequences of the maladminis-
tration of the War Department. The right
eous indignation of the people will neither
forgive nor condone the misery, suffering,
death of our soldiers, for which originally only
the War Department was held responsible,
but for which the Administration is now justly
deemed accountable, for the reason that Pres
ident Mckinley has deliberately elected to
support and uphold Secretary Alger and all
his myriad offences against our soldiers-he
being, as the Right Rev. Bishop Potter has
said, in the history of modern wars, the only
''tainted man" placed and kept at the head
of the War Department.
1t is the common belief of the best inform ed
and most astute political observers that 'this
war business" which spells Algerism, and
the Administration endorsement Of it, is
going to cut very considerable figure in the
coming elections.

Goose Bone White in Front.

For the first time in eight years the goose

San Jose Scale in Maryland.

The first annual report of State Entomol-
ogist, w. G. johnson, has been received at
this Office, and proves to be work OF prac-
teal value to every fruit grower i'll Maryland,
as we'll as of the other Eastern States. Elk
elusive of brief record of the insect pests
especially injurious in 1896 and 1897, the re-
port comprises an account of the San Jose
scale and records of experiments in combat
ting it with kerosene, whale oil soap and n.y.
drocyanic gas.
The most valuable portion of the report,
and that of most interest 10 the fruit grower
is that con corning Prof Johnson's extensive
experiments with remedies for the San Jose
scale. Whale oil soap at the rate of two
pounds to u gallon of water, applied as a spray
during the winter, has been found to be very
effective, and does not injure the tree, while
pure kerosene used in the same way has been
shown to often seriously stunt the growth or
even kill the tree, thought effectually killing
the scales.
A large portion of the experiments were in
fumigating the trees by means of tents in
which hydrocyanic gas is generated. The
gas is fatal to all animal life, but when prop
erly applied has no effect on the foliage of
fruit buds. The fulmigation, exclusive of
cost of the tents, is less than that of whale oil
soap treatment, and can be used to the best
advantage in the heart of orchards where the
scale has obtained foot hold. Thus the pest
may be stamped out of valuable bearing or
chard. Heretofore this method has never
been used in the East, but all the experiments
were very successful. The same gas has been
found equally satisfactory for disinfecting
nursery stock and all Maryland nurseryman
are now required by law to fumigate all buds
and trees grown by them. The report closes
with an account of the nursery interests of
Maryland and list of the nurserymen and
their specialties The volume comprises some
showing all the stages of the insects, orchards
injured by them, and apparatus TO use against
them.
