MULES FOR LORD ROBERTS.

1t is announced that the British
war Office has decided to order the
shipment from New Orleans of
fourth batch of 10000 mules and a
large number of horses for the serv-
ice of the British army in South Afri-
ca; that of the American mules al

become panic-stricken in recent mill.
tary movements and have escaped or
been rendered useless, and that Gen.
Roberts advance has been postponed
until he can obtain enough mules for
the transportation of his supplies and
horses for remounts, reports the New
York Sun.
The customhouse statistics show the
shipment to date of 2O,9O9 mules from
New Orleans, of a total value of ST.
979,s75 and of 1,522 horses of a value
of S154.3l2, the mules averaging sos
each and the horses $102. The ship
ments are now being made at the rate
of about 1000 a month or cargo
every week. The shipment of mules
to South Africa and other transport
duty has resulted in the withdrawal
from the regular service of New Or
leans of no fewer than So ships, Grip
ping to some extent the regular COM
mercial lines of importation, but this
loss has been more than made good
by the great increase given to the
horse and mule trade as well az the
shipment OF hay, food and other sup
plies to South Africa Previous to the
recent shipment to South Africa, no
horses had been exported to foreign
ports through New Orleans.
While nothing official has been
stated as to these purchases, from the
opinions expressed of the officers MAX
ing the shipments, it is believed that
the horse and mule export business
will be kept up all summer, and that
the shipment will exceed the 10000 ex
pected.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
seHie Interesting Facts and Figures
Concerning r0Or LO Of
To-day.

Excluding the members of the five
civilized tribes and the Indians in Alas
ka, says a correspondent of the Chi
cago Record, there are 1S5,947 Indians
ia this country, of whom 9O,950 now
wear citizens dress wholly and 40 COS
In part The tepees are rapidly dis
appearing and being displaced by
comfortable cabins.
The Indians cannot readily sell their
wares unless they are prepared crude
ly or decorated after the method Of
their savage ancestors. That retards
development. Many of them have
artistic ideas and mechanical train
ing, yet to dispose of their handiwork
they initiate the primitive designs of
their forefathers. They are going
back to beaded leggings because curio
hunters will pay more for the rude
and gaudy articles. Instead of manu-.
featuring their own dyes as formerly,
they now use patent dyes.
A pottery was recently established
at Zuni, in which it was proposed to
instruct the Indians that they might
improve, and arrangements were
made for them to glaze their wares.
But they refuse, because the unglazed
old-fashioned pottery sells better. and
porous jugs are preferred because
they keep the water cooler.

THE CORN ROOT WORM.
The Eradication Of the Pest In Very
SinAple if One Only Goes
About 1t Right.

The remedy for the corn root worm
is such simple one that there seems
to be no reason why anyone should
suffer from its depredations. A short
account of its habits and different
stages will rerder more ineligible
the means by which its injuries may
be prevented. The life history of this
little beetle is not completely known,
yet is comparatively simple. The
eggs are laid in early fall, within q
few inches of the base of stalk of
corn, and at depth of from one TO
five inches. The larvae hatch from
them in June, July and August, at
first eating the rootlets entire, and
later commence burrowirg under the
outer layers of the larger roots. If on
rich loan, this causes the stalks to
be easily blown over, or small ears,
and a general dwarfing of the plant If
on poorer land. The full-grown larva
or grub is nearly white, with brown
head, is little less than half an inch
long, and less than one-tenth of an
inch in diameter. Three pairs of very
minute legs are found on the seq
ments just back of the head. but 9TH
erwise the long cylindrical body APP
pears perfectly smooth, though under
lens it is seen to bear numerous
hairs and bristles. Eefore the grub
pupates its body becomes darker in
color and much shorter, becoming
more of the shape of common white
grub. The larvae then leave the roots,
form small oval cell in the soil,
transform to pupae, and in a short
time come forth as adult beetles.
The beetles are of a greenish or yell
lowish-green color, and about one
fourth of an inch in length. They are
found in the fields FROM the latter
part of July until the corn silk be-
comes dry and brown, and often later,
feeding upon the silk and pollen, thus
doing more or less damage, though il
is slight compared with that done by
the larvae. Though corn is usually
the only food, the corn root worm
beetle has been recorded as feeding
upon various weeds, the most promi-
nent of which are thistles, clover,
beans, cucumber and squash vines,
apples on which the skin had been
broken, cotton flowers, and various
fungi, but the damage done these has
never been OF serious nature.
The remedy for this pest is both
practical and effective. So far as
known, the corn root worms have
never been injurious to corn after a
previous crop of wheat, rye or barley,
though the field may have been infest-
ed before that, and a crop of corn is
then safe for at least two years. Thus
simple rotation, winch is always
desirable for many other Insects and
various reasons, is an entirely effect
nal remedy.-E. Dwight tanderson, in
Epitomist.

aunt and an elderly second cousin.
With this double chaperonage she was
allowed to do almost anything she
pleased.
At length they reached Amsterdam,
making headquarters for themselves
there, and planning to go upon many
excursions through the country. 1t
was natural enough that, having To-
cal habitation, they should make some
friends in the city, and SO it came about
that before they had been there long
they were invited to dinner by an
American lady, Mrs. Truax, whose hus-
band was engaged in some mercantile
enterprise there.
The Truax house was cosmopolitan
one, and at it the habitue expected to
meet all manner of celebrities and hui
man curios. Bertha, much elated at
the prospect, whirled of, accompanied
by her decorous relatives, arrayed for
the occasion in the most unbecoming
of their best silks.
ssWhat dear old frumps they are"
Bertha commented to herself. II think
the Amsterdam ladies will like them.
They just suit this background"
They seemed to, indeed, and got on
better than Bertha, whose youth con-
demned her to a subordinate place
This was not as it was in America.
Bertha reflected, and permitted herself
to indulge in moment of homesick'
ness, as she sat apart, her glowing
beauty unnoticed by the middle-aged
people who were paying their respects
to her aunt and her second cousin.
Il have delayed for a moment for an
other guest" Mrs. Truax said. u
wished to present to your niece, Miss
Manderson," she said, addressing
Bertha's aunt, "a young man who is
half an American. All, there is the
bell now!"
The man at the door announced Q
moment later:
Herr Van Brunt."
Bertha turned with an anticipation
which she endeavored to subdue. 1t
was not likely that the son of o
gardener would be at the home of
Mrs. Truax. But in the young man
who entered Bertha saw with unmis.
taxable recognition the amiable, soft
eyes, the round face and high brow,
and the quiet, kindly manners of her
old friend, borne with the assurance
and ease that come of self-confdence.
The hostess managed to whisper to
Bertha's aunt-and of course Bertha
overheard:
This young man has distinguished
himself in landscape gardening. He
has just laid out park for Prince
Zagenwell, and is much thought Of

led up to Bertha, who suddenly felt
as if she were in short4rocks, with
freckles on her face and braids down
her back. He started and flushed, and
then held out his hand in the good
American way, regardless of cere-
mony.
What, you are acquainted" cried
the hostess. They explained. The
hostess turned in some perplexity tc
the spinster aunt. She wondered if she
had unintentionally committed an in.
discretion. But there was no annoy
ance in the face of the elder Miss Man
derson, and the hostess felt at liberty
to permit the two young people to go
down to dinner together.
The conversation at dinner would
not be particularly interesting to re-
count. But Bertha remembered every
word of it. Perhaps Dominicus Van
Brunt did too--but it has been i'm
possible to secure his confidence. 1t
is a certain thing, however, that the
next day a basket came for the young
American lady containing dozen yell
low tomatoes, dropped like eggs in a
nest of white daisies. Which was, sure
ly, curious gift!
Now it is undeniable that Bertha
Henderson found Amsterdam interest

other points of interset. 1t is also
certain that about the time of her de-
parture a young landscape gardener
ran to yews and weeping willows in
his designs, and accepted with alacrity
the opportunity of designing a ceme-
terry for some new American town.
But he recovered from his gloom when
there reached him from the shores of
the Baltic trinket fashioned of lucent
amber, shaped like yellow tomato.
1t occurred to him that he ought also
to visit the storied beaches of the
Baltic, and he did so without an hours
unnecessary delay.
And the consequence was. as the
children say when they play the old
game. that when Miss Bertha Mander-

to kill a weed is before the farmer
