The Fall Army Worm is ravagins
the lawns in Chicago and other cities
In the West. He is also to some ex-
tant attacking the foliage OF the APP
ME trees, but this latter attack Is Oh
little Importance. He Is sometimes
called the Grass Worm, but eats not
only grass but corn and small grain
We illustrate the moth and worm as
sKetched by Riley. The Latin name
of the insect is Laphygma frugiperua''
Prof. S. A. Forbes thus describes IL:
1.-THE front wings of the moth are
narrow, with apex broadly rounded.
General color brownish gray, Varleu
with blue white, dusky and fulVous. a
blush white patch at the apex OF lne
wing, usually containing few DlacA
spots. The under surface of the wings
is smoky but paler anteriorly and ter
minally. The posterior wings are trans
lucent, nearly white in some lights
roseate in others, dusky on anterior
margin, and on anterior half OF outer
margin. Head, thorax and abdomen
nearly uniform gray; thorax Win
V-shaped black mark in front"
1.-THE larvae are dark, the general Ell
feet being that of nearly black IN
sect with a broad buff band below the
stigmata, and a narrow yellow, sub
dorsal line. (These points can be fol-
lowed by referring to the subjoined cut
of the larva. At "a" we see the COM

FITTED TO GOVERN.
Engiishmen In Colonial Onices Advanced
by Merit Only.


There is a marked feature of the fine
| body of Englishmen and foreigners
| generally in the work in Egypt. Ana
it is one of especial interest to th~se
who hope to see entrance to what, 1ol
want of a better name, may be called
our colonial service based upon sys-
tenn of appointment and advancement
by merit alone. One of the most ire
quent arguments made by American
advocates of partisan public service,
when the benefits of the British civil
service are advanced, is that while the
service may be admitted excellent, en-
trance to 1t is by favor alone There-
fore, they say, positions are monopo-
lized by the sons OF the rich and great,
by what the French call "sons of fam
ily." Nowhere have Englishmen bet
ter proved their fitness for governing
than at Cairo, and nowhere have the
sons of great men or the bearers OF
great names been so conspicuously alb
sent. The majority of the men who
have made the Egypt of today have at
the same time made themselves. BY
this it is not meant that they nave
risen from the lowest ranks of society,
what are generally known as self-made
men. 1t is the good fortune or rather
the legitimate result of the system and
the rewards which it offers that the
best class of Englishmen enter the
government service. They must be
men of good standing and good educa-
tion. The most fitting example is fur
nished in Lord Cromer, whose very
name is now synonymous with things
Egyptian. 1t is equally difficult to
write of Egypt without mentioning his
name, and once it is mentioned, to
withhold the fullest measure of adj
miration and praise for the record he
has made. He began life as a younger
and by no means wealthy member OF
the financial house of Barring. Fam
a nomination to be examined for the
army just as such nominations are
given to young Americans. But it was
his capability and excellent record
which secured for Major Evelyn Bar
ing, after the fall Of Ismail Pasha, ap-
pointment as one of the members OF
the dual control established over
Egypt by England and France. Elk
cept for an absence of three years
(1SS0-1SS2) as financial member of the
council of India, he has been in Cairo
ever since. To write of what he has
done is but to write a history of the
occupation, for he has been its cor
ner-stcne. And today he is undoubt-
eddy the greatest member of his fam
lily, where twenty years ago he was
probably the most obscure Harper's
Magazine.

In the light of more recent events
1t appears that Cuban honor" is more
a matter Of official restraint than any
thing else. So long as the Cuban SOL
diers were obedient to instructions, the
exchanging of their guns for American
gold was most degrading transac-
ton, but when they broke away from
their officers, the more gold they could
get, gun or no gun, was evidence of
their shrewdness. The Cubans are not
Rw3n unlike the Spaniards, for, come
TO think of it, the Dons parted with
the Philippines for less than 1 per
cent Of what Spanish honor originally
demanded.

A FELON'S LOVE-.
BY HENRY W. NESFlELD.
BY HENRY W. NESFIELD.

On the 18th of July, IS, Mr.. Hughes
gave one of his solemn dinner parties.
AS usual. the coins were displayed
after dinner, and the old gentleman
held forth with more than his ordinary
zeal upon their history, value and
merit.
After the guests had taken their de-
parture, Luke. the butler, assisted by
Edward Bartlett, removed the cases,
under Mr.. Hughes supervision, ana
placed them in the cabinets in the Ii
brary where they were ordinarily kept.
1t was supposed that Mr.. Hughes did
not retire until long after midnight.
He was in the habit OF sitting up late
and jotting down the occurrences OF
the day, and writing out orders for the
servants to carry out on the following
morning.
He was heard by the cook to be
moving about downstairs after the
clock struck one and the under-house-
maid. Anne Dodson, declared in her
evidence that she heard her master
come upstairs and go into his bed
room just as the great hall clock
chimed the three-quarters after one.
This witness moreover declared that
she was suffering from toothache on
that night and could get no rest, so
she was trying to read herself to
sleep. Hearing Mr.. Hughes step on
the stairs. she looked at her watch and
was astonished to find that it was so
late. Soon afterwards the clock below
struck two, and this fact impressed the
time upon her mind.

SPIRIT IN A STRANGE LAND.
Natives Care for Grave of AN English
Officer Buried There

Natives Care for Grave of AN English
oHicer Buried There.
The British consul at Hiogo recently
heard how the grave of British naval
officer on the island of Hiroshima, in
the Inland sea of Japan, was carefully
kept in order by the peasants. The
consul got history of the lonely
grave. Here are some extracts: "In
the first year of Meiji CA. d. 1859 her
Britannia majesty's ship Sylvia was
proceeding through the Inland sea
when an officer named Lake fell i'll.
He was landed at Hiroshima, while the
Sylvia proceeded and cast anchor at
Enoura bay to await his recovery.
However, he died, and Captain st.
John buried his remains in the grounds
of the Temple of Ikwoji, above Enoura
shrine, and set up wooden cross.
Years afterward, when this monument
had almost decayed the ma
tiyes said; Truly, it would be too sad
if the grave of our solitary guest from
afar, who has become a spirit in a
strange land, were suffered to pass out
of all knowledge So Terawaki Kae-
mon, head of village guild, set up a
stone monument, the shore folk with
one accord lending help. This was on
the seventh day of the eleventh month
of the fourth year OF Meiji-that is
1871. Since then nearly thirty win
ters have passed, during which time
the islanders have not neglected to
take good care of the tomb. From the
tenth to the sixteenth day of the sew
enth month, in particular, the natives
clean and sweep the grave and offer up
flowers and incense, mourning and
consolation. London Star.

On that memorable May morning,
the anniversary which has recently
been celebrated as Dewey day, little
powder boy on the flagship was put in
chains for leaping into the water,
against orders, to recover his coat.
Admiral Dewey. kindly questioning the
boy, discovered that the photograph of
his mother was in the pocket OF the
imperiled jacket, and 1t was that that
led the lad to risk life and violate or
ders. The admiral's eyes filled with
tears, as he exclaimed, "A boy who
loves his mother enough to risk his
life for her picture cannot be kept in
chains on this fieet!' and the lad was
instantly released
