A Fine Insecticide.

The following is recommended by a
practical gardener as an insecticide: Take
the leaves and stem of the tomato plant
and boil them in water until the juice is
all extracted. When the liquid is cold it
is to be sprinkled over the plants attacked
with insects, when it at once destroys cat
erpillars, black and green flies, gnaats, lice
and other enemies to vegetation, and in
no way impairs the growth of the plants.
A peculiar odor remains and prevents in
sects from coming again for long time. >

CoRBFTT AFTER JEFFRIEs.

Indianapolis, Dec 6.-James J. Cor bett announced yesterday. that he will enter the ring again after his contract with the vaudeville company ends. T want to get back into the ring again. said Corbett, flor 1 believe that 1 am as good fighter as there is in the bust ness. 1 will go after Jeffries, as he now holds the title of champion. There is no doubt that he could get a larg, purse for contest, and I will be will ing to sign articles on almost any terms. There will-be q big revival in the boxing game and want to get into it. I believe that there should be new rules made governing fighters claim to the championship. He should be made to win at least three out of five fights from men in his own class be, fore he is. champion, and 7 lose that many before the honor is taken from him. I say this in view of the many fights that have been lost on chance blows when the defeated man was more scientific and the better fighter Young Corbett should be made to wn:p at least two other men in his class be fore he is the champion, and McGoY- ern should be entitled to the honor un- til af least two. other fighters have Ge- feated him. This idea would please the public more, l believe"

 Word comes from Muncie, Ind, that Amos Rusie. once famous as the star pitcher Of the New York club. is now employed digging ditches in the streets of that town for water mains. Rusie is said to receive 20 cents an hour for his labor. The story goes on to state that the big fellow is forced to go to work because of lack of funds, though his friends in New York cannot credit the report. Last summer Rusie was released by the Cincinnati Ma tional league club because he could not get into his old form. It was in 1899 that Rusie was sold to the New York club together with other Indian apolis players. From the start he was considered pitching phenomen- on. It was in 1894 that Amos was in his prime. Alternating with Jouett Meekin, Rusie helped to win the Tenn pie cup in series between the cham pion Baltimores of that year and the New Yorks. When Freedman. got hold of the New Works. .Rusie was sus- pended in 1897 and stayed out of the game that season. He came back in 1898, but was out of the game again ill 1899. The next year he reported for duty. but left for home before he played q game. At one time he re- ceived nearly S4000 for six months work on the diamond which meant pitching two or three games I week.
