TEN of naming the years is proof OF
Chinese ingenuity.
Of late years it has been supposed
that the Chaldeans and Chinese haG
some intercourse at the time when Yao
reformed the calendar and that the
two countries worked together in max
ms the change. Certain it is that a
similar event occurred in Chaldea
about the same time. But whenever
the calendar was adopted it is likely
for a long time to withstanu the
march of progress. :. is correct
enough, and the inconvenience does
not worry the Chinaman In the least.

vitation from himself to call again
when he got hungry. A few of these
bugs were captured and sent to Wash
ington where the whole agricultural
department sat on them, called them
hard Latin names, put them under a
microscope, fattened them on poisons,
made their craven images in wax mag
nified hundred times, and bottled
them in alcohol. Then the depart
ment told the farmers what to do to
the chinch bug.
When the chinch bug appears don't
tell the hired man to attend to him, .
says the department authority, but
get up at four o'clock all the year
round and attend to him yourself. You
must burn, starve, freeze, drown, trap
and founder him and give him con-
tagious diseases. Plant strip Of his
favorite food as a trap and when he is
gorged burn the strip; dig bitches be-
tween fields and fill them with water
so the bug cannot cross; burn off the
stubble and pillow late in the fall; burn
it again in the spring, pillow again and
plant clover After this you'll not
have a chinch bug-if it happens to be
his year for dining in China"

Only in scattered sections of country
this year has the chinch bug been seen
in the wheat fields for there has been
a good deal of rain, and wet weather
is the one thing that discourages the
chinch bug. In the agricultural de-
partment at Washington there is a
laboratory for the study of injurious
insects and the best way to kill them.
For nearly every other insect Uncle
Sam triumphantly points to remedy
and tells how to give fatal dose, but
the chinch bug scorns the daintiest
dish of poison that can be set before
him, and goes on his way rejoicing
consuming the wheat crop.
In 1892 the chinch bug ate up $780,

THE PEARL CRAZE.
Continues as Profitable Industry on the
Mississippi

The pearl craze continues on the
upper Mississippi river, and pearl
hunters are there in great numbers,
as we'll as pearl buyers and heavy ship
pers of shells, and she'll spectators
are quietly securing lots of shells at
the present low prices. Pearls are not
at all uncommon, but fine ones and
really valuable finds are decidedly
scarce. The best pearls have been
found in the vicinity of Prairie du
Chen.
What is known as the Allen pearl,
found at Prairie du Chen, has at
tracted unusual attention. 1t weighs
100 grains and is said to be the largest
perfect gem ever found in the Missis-
sippi river. It was recently purchased
by William NJ. Moore of Camanche, Ia,
for $4,000
The clam diggers are rushing for the
upper river beds, most of them CON
there is bed more than ten miles
long. It is on this bed that the fine
pearls are found in considerable num-
bers. The rush has been like Klon-
dixie excitement. The households have
been toWed up the river, and hundreds
have shipped their tents and come up
on boats More than 1000. are now
camped along the river and the whole
business is overdone.
At every point along the river scows
are being made, and great is the de-
mand for claiming outfits. The find
ing of a few thousand dollars worth
of shells by the diggers has created a
regular raid upon the river. 1t is safe
to say that the man who sticks to his
clam boat and hooks is doing much
better than those who spend their time
hunting pearls.
A representative of Partisan firm
who has been here looking over the
pearl business says that Mississippi
pearls are all the rage in Paris and
that the pearls and slugs are manufac-
tured into exquisite pieces of jeWelry
and sold to exposition visitors.

When a preparation has an advertised
reputation that is worldwide, it means
that preparation is meritorious. If you
go into store to buy an article that
has achieved universal popularity like
CASCARETS CANDY CATHARTIC
for example, you feel it has the in
dorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is
impersOnal The retailer who wants to
sell you something else' in place of
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind Don't it stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why? Be-
cause he expects to derive an extra
profit out Of your credulity. Are you
easy? Don't you see through his little
game? The man who will try and sell
you a substitute for CASCARETS is a
fraud Beware of him. He is trying
to steal the honestly earned benefits of
reputation which another business
man has paid for, and if his conscience
will allow him to go SO far, he will go
farther. If he cheats his customer in
one way, he will in another and it is
not safe to do business with him. Be
ware of the CASCARET substitutor!
Remember CASCARETS are never
sold in bulk, but in metal boxes with

beetles about as large as the lady bird.
Broods of them are Matched in the fall
as late as October if the weather is
mild, and they Immediately make their
way to the ground where they spend
the winter in the stubble, matted
grass and cornstalks and in the rub
bish along fences. October is the best
time to burn over the fields, not for
getting the fence corners. Many
farmers do this, and all through the
winter wheat region in late fall, blue
haze, bluer than the blue of Indian
summer, may be seen over the fields
This is the smoke of battle between
the farmer and the chinch bug.
This insect can stand any degree OF
cold in the larval state. It is often
frozen up solid in wet ground, but the
first warm days that make the winter
wheat sprnut bring them out as
healthy and vigorous as ever. They
make a bee line for the wheat fields
lay their eggs on the stalk and die. The
insects that are Matched from these
They crowd in between the leaf blade
and the stalk and eat the tender plant.
Armies of them move forward in we'll
defined lines, and small detachments
are sent out to destroy smaller patches
of grain to the right and left OF the
main line of advance. If there is no
wheat they will eat oats or timothy or
corn. Glover is about the only thing
they will not touch. Corn fields are
sometimes black with them.
The best thing that can happen to
farm infested with the chinch bug is
good, cold, drenching rain. When the
first patter of even a light shower
comes, the bugs drop to the ground
and hide. If the rain is heavy they
are drowned by millions. They never
attack a swampy field, and in a wet
season they practically disappear. A
wheat or oat field may be full of them
and the farmer never know it until he
comes to cut the grain when they
will swarm out and migrate to the
nearest wheat or corn field. It has
been found that certain fungus dis
ease introduced among them is as
contagious as small pox, but it is only
effective in wet weather. If few dis
eased bugs are put in various parts of
the field after heavy rains it is
claimed that all that escaped drowning
will be killed. But the farmers have
little faith in any remedy but fire and
food when it comes to dealing with the
chinch bug.-Little Chronicle, Chicago.

That's the only way out of it.

China's Ancient Calendar.

Chinas calendar may be responsible
for the confusion of dates in some of
the cable dispatches from the far east.
The Sojourner in the orient is some
times driven to wonder why the
Chinese have a calendar at all. They
view the passing of time with superb
indifference, and punctuality, if such y
thing were even to enter into their
calculations, would be regarded as un-
dignifed. Nevertheless, says the New
York Tribune, they have calendar
one considers its immense antiquity.
A wise monarch named zap some time
about 2300 B. G.. revised the calendar
in use before that date to the form in
which it is found at present. A
volume would be needed to explain all
it's peculiarities, but now that dis
patches are mentioning Chinese dates
it is as well to have some idea as to
where in the celestial calendar differs
from the Gregorian.
The Chinese year is lunar, and there
fore consists of 345 days. Before the
time of Yao tradition has it that the
year consisted of $50 days, and that
confusion had resulted. That ruler
decreed that time should be measured
by the moon, and that every nineteen
years should contain seven additional
months-almost one extra month
every three years. This reckoning is
excellent; it varies only about an hour
every nineteen years from the true
time.
Although the year is lunar it's
beginning is regulated by the sun.
Thus the new year comes between JAM
2 and Feb 6, unlike the Mahommedan
new year, which is regulated entirely
by the moon and comes at any time,
winter Or summer The year is
divided into twelve lunar months,
called by numbers, as first, second. and
so on. The extra month that comes
about every three years is not ADDED at
the end, as it would be supposed, but
is inserted anywhere, probably accord
ing to some system too subtle for west
ern minds The months are sub

again subdivided, so that Chinaman
may speak Of an event without
mentioning the extra time within ten
days. The days are also mum bered, SO.
that exactness may be secured if a
Chinaman should ever happen to
want such thing There is no week,
but foreigners are gradually teaching
the meaning of such a division. The
Chinese hour is 120 minutes long, but
in this instance again the foreigner is
making some impression on the
ancient custom. and the Chinese in and
near the treaty ports are familiar
with the western method. 1t may be
added, incidentally, that Picking is just
about twelve hours ahead of New York
in point of time.
The Chinese gather the years to-
gether into cycles, as occidentals do,
but for some extraordinary reason the
cycle consists of sixty years. This
cycle is very ancient and probably has
to do with old astrological
Another method of
