Matched from the egg. Sometimes il
happens that they do not get out Of
the shell. Along comes another III
sect which lies in wait while the
beautiful butterfly deposits her eggs.
AS soon as she is fitting on her way
her enemy proceeds to lay her eggs
among those Of the butterfly. Like
human parasites, they are active in
making living off others and they
break their shell and come out before
the butterflies and either make meal
of the eggs or wait until the feeble
larvae appear and then proceed to
feast.
A hereditary feud exists between
the ichneumon flies and the cater
pillars. From all appearances the
ichneumons have all the advantage.
Though the housewife cries over the
caterpillars in her parsley bed. she
cannot help feeling a thrill of pity
for the tragedy of it all when the
ichneumon fly finds them out, This
gauzy-winged economist lays eggs on
the back Of the caterpillar. The
caterpillar spins a cocoon preparatory
to going into seclusion before it
metamorphoses into butterfly or
moth. Once cuddled up in the snug
web, the ichneumon fiy's eggs hatch.
What feast awaits the young grub.
1t preys on it's host, grows fat, ald
when strong enough eats it way INFO
the outer world
This is only one of the tricks Of
the ichneumon 1t is not exclusive N
it's diet. If caterpillar is not handy,
it hunts up some domestic horntall
laying its eggs in the slender hole of
a nest in the trunk of tree. AS
soon as the horntail is out of sight
the ichneumon lays it's eggs in the
same nest and the young Matching
first suck the life blood of the help
less horntail infants. Was not the
poet somewhat hasty when the wrote
that every prospect pleases and only
man in vile?

This young man was not SO con-

the horse. I took it. That same

Of tea in the United States. 1t is

we will be able to raise all the tea de-

two tons of tea grown at Summer

the New York investors interested in
the industry that they Immediately
formed a syndicate and bought 5000
acres of land in the state upon which
tea will be grown.
'sThis department last year sent tea
plants to every gulf state in the union,
from the Carolinas to California, for
experimental raising. We have just
heard from South Carolina that i'm
ported machinery in use there is able
to make green from the black product
in one hour. We do not yet manufac-
ture such machinery in this country,
but we will get to that later.
"There is no question concerning
the availability of labor when we get
to growing tea on large scale.
There is any number of young people
who will seek employment as pickers
of the tea leaves, as wages will be
good. We are now importing plants
from China, Ceylon and Japan, and
we propose raising the highest grade
of the product in this country -

Before Starting the Furnace.

Chicago Tribune: People who live
in furnace heated houses may have
noticed the prevalence OF supposed
colds, coughs and throat ailments i'm
mediately after the furnace has been
started in the fall. AS q matter of fact
experts declare that these epidemics
are largely caused by the dust and
germs which gather in the registers
and hot air pipes during the summer
and are blown out into the air OF the
house when the furnace is started. AS
q preventive it is suggested that not
only the resisters but also the hot air
pipes be thoroughly cleaned. This
may be done first by removing the reg
isters and giving them careful dusting
end wiping. Cleaning the pipes is
more difficult, but quite as necessary.
1t may be done by attaching bunch of
feathers to wire and pulling it
through the pipes. In addition to the
ordinary dust which is certain to settle
in such places during the summer
months there is also danger that it may
become impregnated with poisonous va
pors from the cellar. which may be re-
leased by the currelt of hot air rising
from the cellar. In view of the large
number of houses which are heated by
furnaces the question of properly clean
ing the pipes may have an important
influence on the public health. The

to avoid the usual fall epidemic of bad

GIVE OUT A REASON
Vermillion Athletes Finally Give Out a
Reason for Not Meeting Mitchell
on the Gfidiron.
high School and University Second
Eleven Played a Tie Game Of Foot
ball Thursday.
Young Ladies' Of University Have Organ
lied an Athletic Club and Will
Make It a Feature.
DON'T LIKE TREATMENT.
One Of the Reasons Why Vermillion
FOotballists Decline to Play
With Mitchell.
DON'T LIKE TREATMENT.

A correspondent of Vermillion in
writing to the Argus-Leader, in refer
ence to football matters, refers to the
gulf between Mitchell and Vermillion
as follows:
Sentiment is still strong against any
relations with Mitchell, not only on &C.
count of the previous lexercises hin ath-
letics but also on account Of tha general
treatment still accorded the university
on the part of the school at Mitchell.
The great mass of students and friends
of the university feel that the present
conditions of things must continue un-
til different tactics are pursued by the
friends of Mitchell.
There are no difficulties between
Mitchell and Vermillion, real or imagi-
nary, that could not be bridged over if
the Vermillion people had the least in
clination to play Mitchell. So far as
Mitchell knows, they have never per-
formed any act that would be the means
OF causing any trouble between the two
places. Just what the correspondent
refers to we are at a loss to know, un-
| less it is the incident of the time when
| Vermillion withdrew from the athletic
and oratorical association, on account
of the charge of professionalism that
was made against Vermillion and sus.
tanned. Mitchell had nothing more to
do with that than any other college.
Brookings college was represented in
the same conference whore the incident
o 2curred and since that time Vermill-
ion has met the Brookings team in two
different contests.
| So far as the football championship
of the state is concerned Mitchell was
entitled to it year ago by her winningi
and she is ready to defend it against al
comers this season. The University
has used all honorable means to get 9
game with Vermillion, and inasmuch al
they refuse to play that college canno
be counted in on the matter of champ
ionship. If Vermillion has any aspira
tions on the championship question sh'
must meet Mitchell. There is no get
ting around the proposition. Mitchell
has made the tender on several occas
ions and have met with the same olt
refusal, until the impression has becom
general over the state that Vermillio
is simply afraid to play Dakota Univer
sity.

PLAY ED A TIE GAME.
High School Eleven Feel Better
Over Their Second Game
With University Team.

The high school football team went
over to the university Thursday after
noon to again try conclusions with the
second eleven OF the college. They re-
membered their defeat of week ago
when the university eleven won by q
score of % to 0, and the boys decided
that if they could not win they would
make an effort to keep the score down
to lower figure. The high school
eleven is composed of young boys and
could not be expected to compete with
the heavier weights of the University
but in the game yesterday the town
boys made remarkably good showing
and played the University second to a
tie game. 1t was first understood that
the high school team was shut out but
the decision made by Pro-. Cropp gave
the boys the credit OF a touchdown.
They got the ball over the goal line,
but because they did not get the ball on
the ground it was claimed by the sec
onds that they we're not entitled to a
touchdown. The high school boys are
rather light weight but they made a
splendid showing against their heavier
adversaries and declare that when they
meet again they will be able to wrest a
victory from the University team.

An Inhuman Brute.

The Alexandria Herald tells of man
in that town by the name of Hollister
who drives dray. The exceeding
thinness of the horses is subject of
much unfavorable comment among the
citizens and finally a committee was
selected to call upon him and protest
against the inhuman treatment of the
animals. Hollister coolly informed the
committee that it was none of their bus
mess how he FED his horses or whether
he led them at all. Alexandria citizens
ought to organize humane society for
this mans special case, and demonstrate
to him that such actions are not permits
sible in civilized country.

GO IN FOR ATHLETICS.
University Lady Students Organized
all Athletic Club for Their
Own Benefit.

The young ladies over at the Univer-
sity are going into athletics stronger
and on more general scale in the
future. They have just organized an
athletic club over there with a good
membership. Their work and training
is under the supervision of Prof. Lard
ner as the physical director and the
association is officered by Miss Jessie
Walrath as president, Miss Edla Laur-
son vice president, Miss Louise Harri-
son secretary, j. T. Morrow treasurer
and Miss Frances Haney student man
ager. Basket ball, tennis and hand
ball will be the features this fall and the
young ladies have already entered on
their practice. They will get to work
in the spring as early as possible and
they hope to be in better shape for the
spring athletic college meet and hold
the reputation of Dakota University a
| little higher in the future.

FIRST OF THE SEASON.
The Social Affairs of the Mitchell
Club We're Inaugurated by a
Dance Friday Evening.

A very pleasant dancing party Fri
day evening inaugurated the social
affairs of the Mitchell Club and is the
first of a series of entertainments that
the club contemplates giving during
the winter months. The music was
furnished by Hoyt's orchestra and it
inspired the dancers to a most enjoy
able time. In a prettily constructed
booth in the east end of the dancing
hall Misses Grace Beckwith and Mar
gia Becker served drink to the
dancers.
The grand march was led by Mr.. and
Mrs. G. W. Downey and splendid pro-
gram followed in which quadrilles
figured quite largely for the benefit of
all. The dance was counted q fine sue
cess by the large crowd that was
present.
