embark in force without express Cr-
ders from the government at Malolos

Lopez authority, because the Filipino

Applcs as Medicinc.

Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum,
chiorophyll, malic acid, gallo acid,
lime and much water. Furthermore,
the apple contains Il larger percentage
of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. This phosphorus is ad-
mirably adapted for renewing the eS-
sential nervous matter, lethicin, of the
brain and spinal cord. 1t is perhaps
for the same reason, rudely under
stood, that old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food of the
gods, who, when they felt themselves
to be growing feeble and inhrm, resort
ed to this fruit for renewing their
powers of mind and body. Also the
acids of the apple are of great use for
men of sedent1ry habits, whose liverS
are sluggish in action, these acids serv-
ing to eliminate from the body noX-
ious matters, which if retained would
make the brain heavy and dull, or
bring about jaundiCe or skin eruptions
and other allied troubles. Some such
experience must have led to our GUS
tom Of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, and like dishes. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess of
cha1ky matter engendered by eating
too much meat 1t is also a fact that
such fresh fruits as the apple the pear
and the plum, when taken ripe, and
without sugar, diminish acidity in the
stomach rather than provoke it.
Their vegetable salts and juices are
converted into alkaline carbonatss,
which tend to counterfeit acidity. A
ripe, raw apple is one of the easiest
vegetable substances for the stomach
to deal with, the whole process Of the
digestion being completed in eighty

How much of the sickness of the
dairy cow is caused by dark, unhealthy
stables, is an interesting question, but
it is certain that dark, gloomy, damp
stable is an excellent place for the
propagation of all kinds of bacteria.
1t requires no argument to prove that
the resisting power of an animal
against contagious diseases, is much
reduced by damp, dark stables and as it
is a we'll known fact that sunlight is a
deadly foe to bacteria, it naturally fol-
lows that an animal has a double
chance of resisting sickness if its sur
roundings are light and dry. How
much poor and unhealthy surround
ings are responsible for milk fever,
garget, abortion and like ills, cannot be
exactly determined, but there is no
doubt that darkness and dampness are
strong allies in their continuance. Let
light and air into the stables both for
the good of the COW and your pocket
book.

kissing Bugs.

So much has been said and written
about the kissing bug, which has lately
been reproted as horror out of New
Jersey, that some people are really dis
turbed over him. Melanolestes picipes
is not new, however. No remarkat lie
creations come into the animal world
over night. They arrive by pain
fully slow process of evolution-how
slow one may imagine when he OBJ
serves the dilatory process of civilizing
some kinds of folks. The kissing bug
is so called because he crawls over ones
face and nips the cheek or the lips in a
too affectionate manner, and as re-
suit of his bite people swell up and
throw fits. Even death is reported
from the provinces, in consequence of
the alleged bite of the alleged bug.
Now as a matter of fact, there is moth
ing alarming about this beetle. 1t isn't

AS in the case of the mosquito, it is the
female. Even in the human race the
rule appears to hold good that the male
portion of the community is always
innocent. The female beetle is merely
looking for chance to lay her eggs.
She appears to prefer living body.
In this she does not appear to differ
from several annoying flies that attack
horses and men and other animals.
She jabs her ovipositor through the
skin and lays the egg or eggs under it.

ate irritation and swelling. So, when
the young one is Matched and eats his
way out, he, too, is disagreeable.
But it probably is not the lot of one
person in twenty million to be chosen
guardian of melanolestes' egg. The
chances for being struck by lightning
are brilliant in comparison. Indeed,
the fear of insects that prevails in our
communities is principally based on ig
norance and on the survival of old
granny stories. Spiders, for example:
How often one hears them accused of
malpractices of the most terrifying de-
scriptionl Yet, there is but one spe-
cies of spider in these ATTITUDES that
creates more than passing irritation
by its bite, and even the tarantula,
most dreaded of his tribe, has never
been known to kill man, though from
the accounts that issue from non
scientific sources you would suppose
that a tarantula was as fearsome beas
as tiger. The scorpions and cent?
pedes, which are about the worst of
the insects, have likewise suffered I'M
der a general ban, and in listing the in
sects that are inimical to man we even
find the harmless, beautiful and bene-
ficent dragon fly, who eats mosquitoes
for US and has no sting, named as
creature to be dreaded. A flea is worse
than ten thousand kissing bugs, in so
far as the actual damage he is likely to
do is concerned, and it is time to scream
and swell when one is really bitten.
In the meantime, sleep in peace.
There may be bugs under the pillow
that it is impolite to name--in Paris
they call them b flats-but they are no
kissing bugs.-Eagle, Brooklyn.

Shooting the Worms Nest.

In a recent issue of New York
daily paper we noticed new method
of destroying the tent-caterpillar's nest
in apple trees. 1t was practiced in
western New York when the worms
began to appear this spring in such a
startling array the farmers tried vari-
GUS devices to destroy them. First the
trees were sprayed with arsenic and
vitriol, but the supply of sprayers weI e
soon exhausted and the worms contin-
ued to increase. Then the farmers
took to tearing down the tents Wi h
their hands, but the work was too
much the reverse of appetzing that
they had to abandon it. Others ust d
torches made of kerosene soaked rags
on the end of pole. This was fairly
effective, but slow. Then some gel
ius thought of shooting out the nests,
and now the whole region is popping
away. Nothing but powder is used.
Shells for this work have been hastil V
devised, and can now be bought at the
leading hardware stores. The apple
belt of western New York is from ten
to forty miles wide, extending along
the southern shore of Lake Ontario
from Oswego county to Lake Erie and
the Niagara river. This entire section
was like huge skirmish ground; but
great as was the slaughter, the birth
rate seems even greater and the race
between destroying worms and destroy
ing men to preserve the 1899 crop OF
apples seemed to be running in favor
of the worms. Fruit Grower.
