DESTROY THE FORESTS.
Striped Caterpillar Blazes His Way
Through Iowa.


CHARLES CITY, TO-, Aug. S0.-Iowa Is
now reaping the Ill effects of the millions
of striped caterpillars, enormously called
the army worm, which defoliated the oak
trees last season, leaving them stripped
clean of leaves to the mercy of torrid
sun. Thousands Of mighty monarchs of
the woods are dead, while others are in
the process Of turning brown and lifeless.
In Iowa there Is q tract of sixty miles
wide from Des Moines northward to the
Minnesota line, which is marked as plain
ly as II prairie fire had passed that
way. It is the chief route taken by the
caterpillar last year, and the trail of
dead and dying trees tells story of great
loss TO Iowa.
The striped caterpillar attacked the burr
oak trees Of Iowa first, but usually
stripped the jack oak leaves as COM
pletely before leaving. The burr oak is
tough and lives with less moisture than
the jack oak, hence greater detriment
is done the latter. Patches OF jack oaks
a mile long and as wide throughout the
Cedar valley in Iowa, are dying. The
large amount Of cutting which has been
done has lessened the forests of the val
ley, thus allowing more moisture to evap-
crate. 4 This also aids IN destroying the
trees. which require much water. The
department. of forestry has interested It
self in the matter ald2it Is possible that
some aid may be given trees yet alive

CHAPTER XII.

On .hc afternoon OF the 5th OF De.
cember, 1898, Stanton stood upon the
wharf at New York.
He went first TO a florists. Then re.
peating Miss Braddon's words, IL want
TO be alone" he went to hotel and took
a room without registering.
IL was useless precaution, however,
for the morning papers announced his
arrival in way TO indicate Miss Brad
don's prophecy correct.
His Office was besieged when he
reached IL In the morning. lie was
astonished that business men could be
so cordial. In spite Of every effort, II
was noon before he reached his home,
where Sam and his wife made their
timid greetings as expressive as they
dared.
They were amazed by the hearty re-
Spouse they received, for since his baby
days they had never known the young
master say so much and say IL so kind
ly TO them.
There were many messages and
cards Of welcome. DIR. Borden had al
ready called, and left word that he
should call again. The good man might
chide his friend IL he thought him in
the wrong, but he was enough OF n true
man 10 be all the more his friend for
that.
One envelope Stanton caught eagerly
from the pile and with il hurried 60 his
room. There he opened IL and in blank
astonishment stood staring at the card
10 contained,
Across the center was the name 'Es-
Their Thorndike." In the corner was
Mr.. Brnddon's home address. and above
the name was written: Jeremiah s0:4."

TO say without the help OF jeremiah"

The island Is almost as large az Ireland,

In Russia women are employed as
apothecaries. In the state and mu-

ton clerks stand on the same footing
as men, while in the large cities like st.
Petersburg, Moscow and Kew there
are pharmacies in which the business
is conducted entirely by women.

FEMININE FASHIONS.
New Jackets md Dresses for the
Spring season-Enster Hats
and Wraps.

The coats and jackets of the spring
season of 1900 are as satisfactory in
shape, outline, adjustment, fabric,
finish and appropriate decoration as
any models devised since the day OF
wraps began.
With many of the handsome even
ing dresses sent home this season are
guimpes made of various rich or deli
cate materials These are designed
to transform the dccollete waists of
the dresses into gowns appropriate
for afternoon. receptions and early
dinners.
Black and white combinations are
evidently feature of dress not TO be
overlooked next season, as something
in these effects is brought out on
nearly every model thus far shown
Black and white predominant among
stylish striped and dotted silks, and
fancy satins, costly silk and wool mix
lures, matelasses, foulards, shepherds
checks, etc. Narrow black velvet rib
bon, gathered on the edge OF heavy
cream lace insertion, is effective, and
tiny ruches of black chiffon or net
are also used for this purpose.
Accordion-plaited black tulle will be

decoration of Easter hats; also loops
and choux of black velvet ribbon,
graceful scarf ends on dress" styles,
and fascinating mixture OF tea
y9ses and foliage, Parma violets,
rslch blossoms, and white lace on
Wilhelmina models.
Straps of braid continue TO tcrmi.
rate on many tailor costumes i'm tiny
buckles or buttons, and the vests OF
handsome "dress" costumes have n
double row of costly gold and enamel
buttons down the front. The really
necessary button is small, butrthc one
for ornament only is SNOWY and rath-
or large. In these. as in gimps and
buckles, gold. cut steel and jeweled de-
signs outnnmber all other fancies.
A lovely pink wrap lately worn was
nothing but fun Of embroidered
mousseline Gle sole rufiles edged with
tiny ruching of black ostrich feath-
or tips about half an inch wide.
These were arranged on mousseline-
covered foundation of pink satin with
capuchon OF white satin wrought
with jet and gold beads the long
stole ends and the Medici collar of
decorated white satin with deep
fringe of beads at the ends.-~-N. ".
