EXPECTORATED WHEN

Policeman J. H Colen was swinging
along in his usual jaunty fashion on
Grant avenue yesterday as the shades of
evening were falling. Suddenly he heard
barking noise and his detective instincts
taught him to peel his weather eye and
look diagonally across the street to the
northeast corner of Grant avenue and
Sutter streets. There was a man in the
very act of breaking the city ordinance
concerning expectoration upon the fcity's
pavements. Colen travelled fast and laid
the heavy hand of law upon the mans

Women and the Wheel.
The Danger of Excessive Riding Becomes Apparent
One Girl illustrates the Experience of Many.
Front the Gazette. Deiaeare. Ohio.

| The healthfulness Of bicycle riding for
| women is still q disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
| That the wheel has created revolution
in the lives and manners Of modern women
cannot be doubted. Used in moderation il
surely creates for women means Of outdoor
exercise the benefit Of which all physicians
concede. Used 10 excess, like any other
pastime, its effect is likely to be dangerous
to high degree.
No better illustration Of this can be offered
than the case Of Miss Bertha Reed, the
seyenteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. X. Reed, 1886 Lake Street, Delaware, Ohio.
In describing her daughters experience,
Mrs. Reed saws: :" In the fall OF 1896 my

oyereIerting herself by riding her wheel.
We put II away for time 10 see II health

Apple Tree CaterpiIlars.

This caterpillar chasing has ceased
to be amusing.
Ii is bad enough TO see them in the
shade trees, but when they eat the
leaves off the apple orchard the case
becomes unbearable.
Yet there is no need of giving up the
apple trees 10 the worms. Sugar or
chards can not be sprayed, but apple
orchards can be. Spraying for the
apple-tree caterpillar has been tried by
considerable number OF persons in
this state. Some report complete sue
cess; Others failure. The horticultural
authorities OF the Vermont expert
ment station, however, assure uswith
the utmost positiveness that spraying
with paris green is the correct method
of dealing with the caterpillars in the
ample trees. They say that the reason
some persons fail is that they do the
work Improperly. II is no doubt true
that good many folks don't know
how 10 spray. Some folks don't know
how to plough; yet ploughing has
been in vogue a good deal longer than
spraying. and is, on the whole, SIM
pier business.
We are told that the effectiveness Of
the spraying for the caterpillars in
apple trees is proved not only by tests
at the experiment station, but that 1t
has been thoroughly tested on a large
scale bv many apple growers in Grand
Isle county, and that wherever the
work has been well done it has been
entirely satisfactory.
The paris green may be added di-
rectlv to the bordeaux mixture, IL that

of a pound OF paris green is added to
a barrel Of bordeaux mixture(4O TO 90
gallonsl. when bordeaux mixture is

There i nothing very complicated
or difficult about this. Almost any
one can do il. Whenever any difficult

experiment station, Burlington, VI,
and get an explanation. Such consult
tation costs nothing and will often
save mistakes.
The caterpillars are getting to be
such a serious scourge in apple or
cbards that they can not be ignored.
