1.-THE only drawback to any intelli-

cational and refining privileges Is lack
of cooperation between the farmers
themselves, writes Mrs. John b. Sims,
Of Entertaining in the Country"
in the July Ladies' Home Journal.

realize that in themselves lie the
means of educating their sons and
daughters to love the farm and the
farm home, and that because one does
not have the privileges of the town or

should stagnate either mentally or
socially, they will have solved the
problem of how to live happily and

THE KISSING BUG"


ton with Reeuard toI
Wilmington yields to no town, not
even in the priority of the Understanding
bug" known as Melanolestes picipes,
While other places are talking of recent
arrivals of that insect, this vicinity
can boast of the presence OF one as
long ago as last January.
One day that month, q member OF
the du Pont family noticed large in
sect crawling on the table. He put
his hand on the bug. and it stung him.
Then, he put napkin on the bug,
and It stung his hand again through
the napkin. The hand became swollen
and SO did the arm. DR.. Swithin
Chandler was called In, and found Mr..
du Pont suffering from poison, He felt
i'll for about week. The swelling of
the arm was reduced in few days,
but the hand continued swollen about
three weeks.
The insect which had caused the
trouble had been kept, and was given
to DR.. Chandler. Knowing that Frank
M. Jones was learned in the subject Of
entomology, the doctor turned the
specimen over to him, and he in turn
communicated with the Department of
Agriculture.
Here is the reply which Mr.. Jones
received, under date Of January 3lst,
from L. o. Howard, entomologist of
the Department of Agriculture;
Dear Mr.. Jones: Yours of the 9th,
| together with DIR. Chambers report
and specimen Of bug, the bite OF
which was the subject of the report,
duly received. The bug is one Of thu
Piratine bugs known as Melanolestes
picipes. The specimen which you send
Is somewhat abnormal, in having the
abdomen underneath, Of reddish
color, resembling the western form.
Melanolestes abdominalis. The proba.
bility is, therefore, that the two species
should be united. The story Of this
bite is very interesting, and propose
to have this insect figured, as an
convinced that it is one of the species
responsible for many Of the cases of So
called spider bite.
1t will thus be seen that other cities
are about five months behind Whining
ton with regard to the kissing bug, .
