Something about the Chinch bug

The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture has in press and will soon
issue Bulletin No II. Division Of En-
tomology, entitled The Chinch Bus.
The chinch bug Is one Of the most de-
structive insects with which the Amer
lean farmer has to contend and the de
partment receives many requests for in
formation about it. This bulletin Is
intended to meet tais demand, and
gives may new facts concerning the
life history and distribution of
the species. and the whole subject
of the practical handling OF its disease
in order 10 assist in its destruction Is
treated at length. 1t says few in
sects have caused such pecuniary losses
a the chiuch bug. and no other insect
native to the western hemisphere has
spread its devastating hordes over a
wide area of the country with more IA
tai effect to the staple grains Of North
America 1t Is widely distributed over
the world and hibernates in the adult
stage 1t is of gregarious habits and
niSrates in spring, summer and
autumn. The bulletin states that it
would appear that the pest first made
its presence known in this country in
North Carolina in 1873. and mentions
several serious outbreaks of the bug in
the West the estimated losses from its
ravages from 1850 to 1881 reaching S26T
O00. coo. 1t also says that it is believed
that the losses up to 1898 amounted to

THE CITIZEN.
THE SOUTHERN WOMAN.
Through Many Tribulations She Has
Emerged Into Noblcr
Life.

After the lapse of 4 quarter of cen
tury, that gracious growth has reached
IN appreciable size and beauty; through
the fearful ordeal OF suffering unknown
10 the casual observer or reader, the
southern woman has emerged into the
nobler conditions of her present exist
ence. The softness and case of her for
mer life, its assured protection and the
tender Difference that surrounded it,
were perhaps a trihe enervating to char
acter; the affections fourished at the
expense of intellect; the delight OF "be-
ing" was more present than the neces-
sity of doing" the whole nature ran
to vine, secure of always finding a
strong support upon which to cling and
beautify.
But with horne and friends and
wealth swept away by one tremendous
cataclysm, the lovely, clinging creature
was left either to trail helplessly upon
the ground and perish there, or to de-
velop new fiber, new roots, new powers
OF self-support; and the heroic treat
ment has borne its fruit, the terrible
struggle has given birth to the child
of promise; perhaps it is but survival
Of the fittest; perhaps more have per
ished in the ordeal than we care to
count; but it is past, and we look about
us with pride at some of its obvious re-
suits The fittest are indeed very fit"
as the Enelishman has it.
Some of the most prominent women
in literature-novelists poets, journal
lists of every grade-as we'll as in the
arts and on the stage, are southern
women; many of the accountants,
amanuenses and other assistants in Of
fees and counting are south
erners. Many of the women who enter
into commerce, or who make homes for
those happy inmates who find place
beneath their roofs and at their genial
boards are southerners. You find them,
in fact, wherever you find women at
work not too heavy for delicately
framed and tenderly bred women.
They cannot become scrubbers or
daughters of the plow, although / have
known some who understood the finer
parts of laundry work, such as the get
ting up of laces and lawns. Yes, and
did it beautifully, too-as well or better
than their slaves used to do it for them.
But these were exceptions to the rule,
for in general way the southern wom-
an cannot use her hands to any great
effect, except in holding a pen or pen
ell, or needle, or using her voice on
the operate or dramatic stage, and her
taste and refinement are among the
best items of her stock in trade. 1t is
the old story of the Arab steed of pure
blood but light frame who outstayed
the big-boned Norman war horse, the
scimiter which cleaves its way where
the battle ak fails-the perfumed oil
which gently creeps through while vim
egar and caustic do not penetrate.-

MIGRATORY CLANS.
Some Seen i'm Maine Move in Mys-

rows Behind Them.

at had always been my belief that
the clam, like the oyster, was a home
slayer, growing contentedly to ma
turity in the place where he was born,
and never moving from the spot Of his
own accord" said a New York man,
fond of sports with rod and gun, ''but
this belief was changed during my last
summers vacation in Maine. l spent
several days at Sebec lake, usually start
ing on my days fishing excursions from
Greeley's Landing, on the south shore.
Here for a long distance out the water
is shallow, with a sandy bottom. All
over this bottom extending out to where
it was too deep to be seen were queer
little burrows, such as man might
make in sand with the tip of walking
stick. / knew that they could not have
been by eels, which would have left
sinuous tracks, while these were
straight, and I was puzzled to explain
them. AT last l asked my boatman, a
country boy, bred on the shores of the
lake, what caused these burrows.
Clans, he answered, briefly, with
slight tone of wonder in his voice a

"'Clams!' l repeated. You don't

without legs or fins?'
They do, all the same, and I'll show

there, at the very end of a furrow, was

down, as | discovered by dipping him up
with my landings net. BY looking care

they were moving, it was too slowly for
me to detect their progress, but in every
case the clam was at the end of fur

ing on end, head down.
