win doubtless prove of general interest:
COAL OIL FOR SCALE.
Los Angeles Times: Coal oil is largely
useo as an insecticide. The chief draw
Dack 10 its use is that, unless care
1uhy applied it is likely to kill the tree
as Wen as the scale. A LomDoc or
charoast claims to have used straight
coal OIL. with no injury to the trees, this
result being brought about by an i'm
heula9e second spraying of caustic
acau' m the form of lye. The "Califor-
ma fruft-Grower'' publishes the fol-
lowing letter from this orchardist, Isaac
M Clark:
IN reply to your inquiry as to the re-
SUITS in spraying with coal oil as q
remedy for destroying insect pests and
especially San Jose scale, / can say in
the beginning that it has proved a
grand success. l sprayed my ten L.
year-old apple trees about March 10th
with pure coal oil, using five gallons,
ana immediately followed it with a
spraying CT Merry War Lye, using
one pound of I've to eight gallons Of
water. This lye dissolves readily in
cold water. Caustic soda or any other
I've, l think, would answer the purpose
just as well. The result was al that

Goal oil will kill almost instantly any
insect that breathes through the pore s
OF the body And 1 knew also that it
was liable to kill the tree, SO the Ques-
tion was to get rid of the oil after it
had done it's work. The lye effectually
did that; it turned the oil into soap,
and soap is good for a tree. 1t is the
same principle as that employed by
our mothers to take any old grease
and lye and make a fine soap to wash
soiled fabrics with.
THE pearmain apple tree often has a
section Of rough bark on a limb. This
is caused by minute parasite. The
coal oil causes it's destruction and the
trees SO treated are casting off that
rough bark, and growing again
smooth. Old dormant buds that had
been idle for five years have more than
usual started out And the foliage and
fruitage on the trees so treated are as
good as the best in the orchard.

Local Variations

The same idea may be expressed in
many different ways, according as the
speakers mode of thought is influenced
by his surroundings.
Take, for example, a wen-known
adage and notice. how the residents Of
several cities would put it:
"A bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush.'
In Boston this might become:
Zone thought of Browning, thor
oughly assimilated, is more valuable
than two in a state Of mental nebulos-
ity."
The New York version:
Paper profits must be realized upon
before they can add to ones bank ac-
count"
Translated into Chicagoese:
"One hog in the packing-room and
ready for market is better than two
on the hoof at the point of produc-.
tion."

TT is the cashed chips that count. "

tent Of the Casualties. s
Memphis, Tenn, April. DEFINITE
Information was received at the gen
eral offices Of the Lee line yesterday
regarding the nature fthe steamboat
disaster at Taylor, Mo. It reached
that office in the shape Of a telephone
message from their travelling freight
agent, III. @. Lewis, who was on the
ltOWena Lee at the time she went
down. Two lives are known to have
been lost and one man is missing. The
dead are:
Mrs. Chambers of Charlottesville,
Mo-, and an unknown negro woman.
The missing man is George Keuchler,
mail clerk.
General Manager Robert E. Lee, Of
the Lee line, furnished the information
regarding the casualties as soon as it
reached his Office. The message said
that the boat left Tyler at 4 o'clock,
and, in backing out Of the landing to
reach the middle Of the channel, struck
some hidden obstruction, the nature of
which was not known, and she began
sinking Immediately. AS soon as this
fact became known the pilot changed
the course of the boat and started
back to the landing, but before it was
reached she had settled down in thir-
ty-five feet of water. All the passen-
gers and crew were saved excepting
those whose names have been given.
Mrs. Chambers took passage Mt Ca
ruthersville for Memphis and was
bound for some point in Mississippi.

Secretary Gage Listens to Arguments
in Favor of the Appointment.
Washington, April /. - Secretary
Gage and Assistant Secretary Spaul-
ding gave a hearing to Senator Davis
and number of importers and jobbers
in tea at st. Paul and Minneapolis in
favor of the appointment of a tea ex-
pert at those points under the pro-
visions of the pure tea act of March 2,
1897, as amended by the act of June
IL, 1898. Some weeks ago the depart
ment stated its purpose to appoint a
tea expert at st. Paul, which, it is said,
has developed into an important tea
distributing point. Subsequently nu-
merous circumstances were received
at the department from the tea trade
ut New York and other Eastern cities
against this appointment, mainly on
the ground that uniformity in the tests
could be secured Only by limiting the
examiners to the lowest possible num-
Der. The members of the government
board of tea experts at New York also
reported against making st. Paul a
tea examining point. The importers
and jObbers in the Twin Cities, how
ever. insisted that there was no more
difficulty in arriving at uniform and
just conclusion as to the quality OF tea
than there was in the examination of
wheat. and that under the present ar
rangement they were being discrim-
mated against in favor of Chicago and
the East. The secretaries took the
matter under advisement.

Manila, April 1. - The United
States troops rested last night in the
Jungle about a mile and a quarter
from Malolos. The days advance be-
gan at o'clock and covered distance
OF about two and half miles beyond
the Guiguinto river, along the railroad.
The brunt of the battle was on the
right Of the railway, where the enemy
was apparently concentrated. The
First Nebraska, First South Dakota
and Tenth Pennsylvania regiments en-
countered them in the intrenchments
on the border Of the wood, and, the
Americans, advancing across the open,
suffered terrific fire for half an hour.
-Four men Of the Nebraska were killed
and thirty were wounded. Three men
OF the Dakota regiment were wounded
and one Pennsylvania was killed.
The Americans finally drove the Fill
pinos back. Although there were three
lines Of strong entertainments along
the track the enemy made scarcely any
defense there. Gen. Macarthur and
his STAFF were walking on the track
abreast Of the line with everything
quiet, when suddenly they received a
shower of bullets from sharpshooters
in trees and on housetops. But these
We're speedily dislodged. The enc
my's loss was apparently small, the
jungle affording them such protection
that the Americans were unable to see
them, and in firing We're guided only by
the sound Of the Filipino shots. The
American artillery was handicapped
for the same reason.
