considered the subject from a practi-
cal standpoint. It's members are prac-
teal orange growers and as such do
not have the time, apparatus and exact
special knowledge to study biological
and organic chemical aspects of dis
eases and the life histories of insects,
their natural enemies, or the compare
tive effect of chemical eXtermna tors.
We refer members of the Society
who wish to study these subjects to
the reports of specialists which have
been presented at former meetings, or
the bulletins of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and tie Ex-
pertinent Stations.
In fact, the present attitude OF many
orange growers is fifty described by
Mr.. MOremen of the committee, who
says: "There is only one disease that
concerns me now, the occasional alb
sence OF caloric in the surrounding at
mosphere." Mr.. Beed OF the commit
tee describes some of the resulting
conditions as follows:
'All the trees in this vicinity are
budded on sour stock and are not
troubled with loot rot With us the
trees kept dying back nearly all OF
tie first summer after the freeze. but
since then we have had no trouble eX-
cept in cases of hard freezes Wien the
bud or sprout would be killed below,
while above all would remain green
and grow for awhile. One party here
had strange experience with 4 good
many of his buds, when they We're
one and two years old. Most of those
affected were buds that had had mela
nose. When they were banked they
were in some instances struck with
a shovel and bruised, and the next
spring when they were unhanked,
there would be quite a decayed place
around the bruises.
"Well during the summer they COM
menced to bleed and the bark would
decay, and finally become entirely
girdled.
"SOme trees, however, would bleed
and die that had not been bruised in
any way, and in some instances would
decay all around without bleeding or
showing any sign of there being any
thing wrong. We laid it to their hav
ing had melanose, though I hardly
think that could have been tie entire
cause.
""Ihe only thing that bOthers us here
about banking trees is wood lice.
While they don't girdle a tree entire
ly they eat a good many places in
them, and that, seems to Sicken them
more or less. Last winter l tried lime
and sulphur together, but neither one
did any good Another year I think |
shall try sprinkling with Paris green
and some other substance to make it
stick to the tree. The only thing |
see against that is it may kill the bene-
fetal bugs and insects after, unbank-
ing again"
These conditions occur in the ham
mOcks of the Halifax river and are
found in greater or less degree on
high as we'll as low lands all over the
State. Sweet Seeding stocks that
were affected with foot rot have in

The Choral Union Concert.

The first Choral Union
Concert was held at Clarke's s
Opera House, Monday eve
ming last, under the direction
of Prof. Potter, before a small
but appreciative audience.
The different numbers on the
program were rendered in an
exceptionally fine manner,
particularly the quartette
composed of students of Prof.
Potter. An entertainment of
this kind should receive the
support IF the citizens of our
town. as the entire proceeds
are used for the purpose OF
defraving incidental expenses
of the Union. We trust the
concert will be repeated in
the near future and hope for
4 larger att&dence.

The population OF the earth is about
/ 800 600 600, it being estimated in 1895
at 1,458, 763, GOO. The Statesman's Year
Book "a British Publication) for 1897
estimated that four-fifths of the
worlds population, or 1,273,2S4 .463 hui
man beings, were under the sway OF
ten powers. as follows: China, 402 $780,
600; British empire. 1888 ,48S, 469; Rus

of the population Of China is really
guesswork, northing more. 1t may ex-
coed the figures given, or it may fall
vastly below them. In fact, some au-
thorities put China's population as low
as 225, 900 900. The population accorded
Great Britain, France and Germany is
largely composed of Asiatics and Afri-
cans. This is especially the case with
Great Britain, about 275,000, 900 of the
people under her sway being inhabit-

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Little companies of juvenile acrobats
travel about and give exhibitions of
their skill wherever they meet other
children. They are clad in dark blue
tights, with great red turbans, and
they tumble and roll, and perform very
clever feats to the sound of a gourd-
like drum. At the climax of each feat
they call out, "Hicl See!" extending
their tiny arms in grateful acknowl-
edgment of applause.

stand, upon which is displayed his
stock of birds, fishes, flowers, sticks
and drops.
One end of his stand is fitted with a
tiny charcoal furnace, above which a
large basin of molten sugar is kept
ready for use. From this he forms into
shapes and colors such articles as may
be desired. Some beautiful forms are

the clever fingers in their manipula-

from the child, dying away finally into

the basket is uncovered, and is, of
course, found to be empty.
