jackson found that women are their own
arbters in social matters, and man does
not hold position so high in this country
that he can dictate TO women their duties IN
these matters. In every move in behalf OF
Mrs. Eaton he was defeated, but he gave
her a place in history which was unenvia-
bic and unavoidable.
Eaton was in rage, and challenged to
combat here and there. The Cabinet was
broken up. Eaton was made Governor OF
Florida. From 1896 to 1910 he was Minis
ter TO Spain. 1t is said he quarreled with
Jackson, and was Il Wing in 1910. He died
in 1856. Mrs. Eaton lived until 1873. 1t
is said by those who knew her that she was
rerson of fascinating manners and rare
personal attraction. She was bright and
yivaci)us in conversation, and must have
been the possassor of una sual talents to be
able TO break Cabinets. Her career was sure
iy an eventful one. The misfortunes that
followed her from the day of the death of her
illustrious banefactor are almost incredible,
and were they written without embelliSh-
ment would read like romance.

1t may surprise many to know that Her

WILLIAM 5 LATEST SPEECH
HOHENZOLLERNS RESPONSIBLE
TO GOD PERSONALLY
The Emperor Took Another Oath at
the Mount of olives to Assure the
Welfare of His People.

BERLIN, February 4.-Emperor Will
liam, speaking at the annual banquet
last night of the Brandenburg Diet,
said:
THE Hohenzollerns have always
considered themselves responsible TO
God personally for their acts and a
sense of responsibility to the people
has also been inherited by every Ho-
henzolern. When 1 stood on the
Mount of olives l renewed the oath
taken to the colors not to leave stone
unturned to assure the welfare of the
people,"
His Majesty recalled Marshal Won
Moltke's words to Prince Bismarck
after the Franco-G German war: Nov
is the time to see the tree grow" and
said:
II will be a good gardener to the
tree of the German empire, looping off
the superfluous branches and ferreting
out and destroying animals seeking to
gnaW it's roots. l hope l soon shall
see the tree grandly developing. Be
fore it stands the German Michael,
with his hand on the hilt of his sword,
looking afar in order to guard it. Sc
cure is the peace which shelters behind
the shield of the German Michael and
which is defended by his sword. 1t is
truly a magnificent beginning for all
nations to desire to bring about peace,
out mistake mas Deen maze In Ine
calculations. So long as unredeemed
sin prevails among mankind so long
will there be war, hatred envy and
discord and so long will man endeavor
to overreach his fellows. But what is
met with among men is law among ma
lions. Therefore we shall strive to
stand together like a solid rock. May
every wave threatening peace break on
this rock of bronze of the German peo-
pie. whether it be far away or nigh
unto us at home.'
The emperor then added: peace
must be preserved at home and abroad
and the people of the Mark of Bran
denburg, above all, must lend their
help to do so.'
His Majesty concluded with calling
for cheers for the Mark of Brandon
burg" and it's inhabitants.

CHERRY WORM, FLY AND WING.
Out somewhat smaller) the house fly.
We think that the adult form Of it Is
the fly shown, natural size and en-
larged, in the cut. The body Is black.
Its head and legs are light yellowish
brown. The wings Zone is shown en-
larged) are crossed by four blackish
bands and have a blackish spot at
their tip. The maggot is Of a light vel
lowish white color.
Unfortunately this cherry maggot
works in a very inconspicuous man
ner. All Of those who suffered from
its ravages the past summer did not
know Of it's presence until their atten-
ton was called to it by the consum-
ers Of the cherries. The two cherries
In the upper part Of the second cut
contained maggots, although they were
apparently perfect fruits externally. If
the cherries are allowed to remain on
the tree or are not used within a few
days after picking, the work Of the
maggot will result in a rotting and
sinking in Of a portion of the fruit, as
is shown by three cherries in the lower
part Of the cut. When this stage Is
reached or often even before the fruit
shows signs Of rotting, the maggots
are usually full grown and soon crawl
out Of the fruits.
One grower at Geneva, N. T., reports
that he fears the same insect worked
in his prunes last year. Ten years ago
maggots were found working in both
cherries and plums in northern Michi-
gan. These were thought to have been
the apple maggot, but we believe they
were identical with those which have
worked in the cherries Of New York
and Massachusetts this year. Thus
cherry growers in the eastern, middle
and northern states should be on the
lookout for the pest.
There seems to be no practicable
method of getting at the pest while it
IL in the fruit, except the heroic meth.
cd Of picking and destroying by boil
ing, burying or otherwise the whole
crop on the infested trees just about
the time the first fruits are ready to
pick or even before. This method, Of
course, involves the loss Of the cherry
crop Of a season, but 1t is the only
sure method we can conceive Of to
completely check the pest. The pest
could be quickly stamped out in this
way, as 1t spreads very slowly.
If what few "windfalls" there might
be were destroyed. all the marketable
fruit picked and disposed Of and all
