1t is rather a strange fact that the
plant lice. such as are found on rose
bushes. have the faculty of changing
their color and therefore escape oh
servation much more easily. When
the first shoot of the rose makes its
appearance, It is Of delicate brown
shade and the lice. If there are any on
it, are Of the same color. AS the shoot
grows it takes on a green shade and
the insect changes color to correspond.
These mischief makers are very hard
to distinguish. but, if found. an appl-
cation of white hellebore to the bush
Will quickly rid it of the pest.

THE ESTATE NOT LIABLE.
After Life Tenants Death Not Bound
For His Taxes.

Richmond, Va. Jan. 25.-The Supreme
Court of Appeals today handed down
decision III the case of Tabb ct al, VS..
The Commonwealth, which involves
large amount of money, and is OF inter-
est throughout the State.
The question for decision was whether
the taxes and levies, which accrued
during the estate of a tenant for life
are liens on the estate of the remainder
man and enforceable against it. The
court holds that those taxes are required
TO be assessed in the name of and against
the person who by himself or his tenant
has the freehold in possession; that upon
him and no one else are they made II
personal liability and that only his
goods and chattels and the life estate OF
the life tenant are bound for the taxes.
The contention of the counsel for the
city of Richmond that even if the lien
of the commonwealth be only co-eXtensiye
with her taxes, nevertheless the lien of
the city for its taxes is in all cases
on the fee. is not sustained, the court
holding that the lien given upon real
estate for taxes assessed thereon was
intended to he lien ON the estate of
the person assessed Herewith.
For taxes which accrued during the
estate of the tenant for life and assess
ed against him, the len is only upon the
life estate and does not extend to the
reversion or remainder. The lein for
taxes and levies assessed on real estate,
whether they are assessed for the COM
monwealtn or counties, or for the city of
Richmond, is only upon the estate as
sessed with taxes.
The effect Of the decision is to relieve
the remainderman of an accumulated
taxes and delinquent taxes.
