The results from numerous expert rnents made at the Maryland Agricul- tural station in the use of crude petro- leum on the San Jose scale are sum- med up as follows: Crude petroleum seems to be effective in controlling San Jose scale when properly and intelli- gently used. Either a green or amber color oil may be used provided 1t has a specific gravity of not less than 43 de- grees at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahr. It can only be used when the trees are dormant. In this respect crude petroleum and kerosene act di- rectly opposite. CThis applies especial ly to peach trees). It may be used eith- CT undiiuted CT in the 20 or 25 per cent mixture

It is interesting to speculate as to what would become of the republican party in Arizona were 1t not for the kindly oversight of the democratic newspapers. Ofice-holding being the democratic phrase for heaven. 1t is na- tural that gossip concerning office get ting-even though it concerns republi- can aspirants-should be Of more inter- est to hungry democratic editors than all other subjects combined. Even statehood is forgotten as soon as there Is rumor that Tom, Dick. or Harry has a show for an office. But the mournful fact remains that until state hood is achieved the federal and ter ritorial offices in Arizona will be filled by republicans. and it is altogether probable that these republicans, from presidential appointees down. will con- tinue to be a capable and worthy lot of officials. irrespective of any changes in the personnel. now or hereafter. What comfort there may be for demo- crats in this state of affairs we are un- able to see. unless 1t be the comfort which the hungry get from bare inn agination of a feast" Statehood is a much more practical subject. and in it there should be substantial visions of pie for democrats.

An interesting article on child study has been contributed to Everybody's
 Magazine by Dr. Arthur. THE Mcdonald. who has STUDY OF made speciality of the CHILDREN. subject. He states as
 his conclusion that chil- dren of Amsrican percentage are brighter than She children of either foreign or foreign and American paren- tage- As to vitalaty. he finds that boys of the non-isboring classes show a much higher percentage of sickliness and nervousness than boys of the la boring classes. He is positive that boys as rule snow a higher perctange of physical and moral defects than do girls, but when there are defects in girls they are more serious than in boys. From statistics he finds that "right-handed" children are brighter than those that are "left-handed," all though there are brilliant exceptions, and he makes .he broad statement that there is an unduly large proportion of the left-handed among criminals.
 In order to test children's ideas of right and wrong, the following story wa.s told to a anumberof them: "Jamie's father gave him q dog. but Jamie often forgot to feed 1t, and tine dog cried often at the door. Then Jamie's fa- ther gave the dog to a kind little girl who lived down the street" Then the question was asked. Who had the best right to the dog-the father. or Jamie. or the little girl?" The result of this test was:
 In answering this question 70 per cent of the boys and 57 per cent of the girls thought the little girl had -he best right to the dog: A per cent of the children thought, because Jamie had been so cruel in neg;ecting to feed the dog he did not deserve it. This seems to weaken the theory commonly held that children are cruel by nature. About 9 per cent thought the father had the best right to the dog. saying that he had paid for gf1e dog, and he wals older and would take better care of it. About per cent said Jamie had the best right, because when thing is given away you can't take 1t back again It was principally the oder children who took .his last point of View.
 Relating to :ad training. the au- thor says:
 Moral training not only consists in moral habits, but in the development of the feelings ani emotions which have their roots in the religious serai- merits dncuicated early in the child's life. As the parents have the heart and sympathy of the child they can n-ake it almost what they will. If they gave as much time and patience to the nurture of their children as they 60 to society, business. amusement and pets. much of the evil and crime in the word night cease. Unless children are brought up and trained well; and those provided for who have no proper home there is littie probability of making the world better. We must place the knife and fork in the child'S hand, if we wish them properly helS- So morality like etiquette. must be taught through re peated acts, that become d habit. Thsre is perhaps nothing more important to the individua, family. and country than the moral education of children.

The Denver Republican commends the people of Arizona for getting to-
 gether on statehood: THE Governor Murphy of STATEHOOD Arizona has issued a CONVENTION. call for a conference
 of all citizens at Phoenix on October 2s. for the for mutation of definite plans for statehood demands
 The governor has taken a sensible course in appealing to the people of the territory regardless of political be- liefs. Differences of sentiment can be settled at the polls after the territory has been admitted to statehood. but at present Arizona is concerned only in bringing the question before congress In the best possible light. Farmers. miners, graZers and the heads of cor porate interests have been invited to take part in the meeting. and the Phoe- nix board of trade Is deeply interested representation.
 Undoubtedly there Is Q growing sem timent in favor of the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as states, and Gov. Murphy of the former terri tory fully realizes that 1t only remains for citizens to make unanimous showing and to convince congress that the statehood sentiment at home is overwhelming. The meeting should prove an important step toward Ari- zona's admission to the sisterhood of etates.'

King Leopold's intended visit to this country should be an interesting event. He will come. not for pleasure or curiosity. but to make shipping ar engagements advantageous to Belgian ports. Probably he feels that he can do more personally than he could by means of commissioner. The time is apparently ripe for the enlargement of American commerce in all directions and Belgium is a country with which our trade might be made increasingly profitable. Though small in territory it is rich in industry and its people are natural born sailors. as their history and Flemish blood might indicate. King Leopold himself is a man of con- siderable ability. He has pushed Bel gian colonization schemes. especially in Africa. and he has secured by diploma cy position among more powerful monarchs which is far from contempti- ole. Ii he comes to the United States he will no doubt be welcomed royalty and will carry away pleasant impress sions beneficial to both peoples. He is a king who lacks the cordial respect of his people. but he is a ruler of a pros porous nation.

MT. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farm CTS within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Cham berlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctors advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the popu- lation is perhaps sixty. Of these. with in the past twelve months, no less ths fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record.' For sale by Elvey & Hulett.

For no man in the country is time passing more slowly than for Edward
 M Shepard, Tammany THE candidate for mayor of NEW YORK New York. From the CAMPAIGN. outset the campaign has
 been one of embar rassment for him. It could not be oth- erwise for the man whose past utter ances comprise the most forceful Of all the condemnations of Croker's organi- zation. The exigencies of the cam paign require MT. Shepard to appear at public meetings. every day and night and speak for himself and his ticket. And the worst of it is that his hearers are so unfeeling as to remind him of his past record as the most unsparing critic of Tammany Hall. They are par ticularly annoying in insisting upon having him state what he will do 1T elected mayor. At every meeting he is bombarded with questions as to wheth- CT he will remove Devery. the deputy commissioner Of police, who is reputed to be largely responsible for the cor ruption and demoralization of the po- lice force. MT. Shepard dodges as best he can, and protests that the state con- stitution denies him the privilege of making ante-election promises. Mean time he prays for election day to hurry along.
 On the other hand, there is no diff ficulty about ascertaining where Seth Low, the reform candidate. stands. MT Lows directness of expression Is illus trated by the following extract from one of his speeches:
 Now, Mir Shepard intimates that I have broken the constitution because have stated distinctly that if l am elected mayor Mir. Murphy will not re- main police commissioner and MT. Dey- cry will not remain deputy commits sioner very long. He calls that prom ise to secure votes. l call 1t a frank, outspoken definition of policy. MT. Shepard has propounded the preposter- ous idea that when the people of the city are electing a mayor they are se- lecting a juryman. You are the jury men, fellow citizens, and Mir Shepard and I are the advocates. You elect us to carry on the city government, if you can find out in ways that we shall tell you I told you without reserve what I propose to do in the police de- partrnent because I stand in this cam paign as an aggressive opponent of Deveryism and everything it repre- sents. MT. Shepard. with the caution of lawyer. intimates that he has not yet made up his mind; that he wants to be able to listen to MT. Devery after he has become mayor. I don't. My mind is made up now. and because it Is made up I am before you now as a candi- ra1nr rRern hf. lice department you know you can get it by electing me. If you don't know what you want and want to be told what you ought to have you can get it. perhaps. by electing MT. Shepard.
 The New York papers report that the betting on the election is nearly even, slight odds on Low being given in most cases.

Many a woman has periodic crying spells. She meets her husband with eyes red and swollen and he cries out |: ~What has happened2" ~Nothing" his wife replies. rI don't know what is the matter with me, but I just had to have 3 good cry" Men don't have crying spells. It would seem therefore that an affection confined to women must have its cause in the wornanly nature.
