Fruit BARK Beetle.

Another pest discussed at some
length in a recent New York bulletin is
the fruit bark-beetle. This was es-
pecially prevalent last a and did
much damage in peach orchards in
Western New York. and in some scat
tered plum and cherry plantations. On
peaches its principal injury was due
to punctures Of the bark on the trunk
and larger limbs, through which the
sap oozed and formed gummy excres-
cences. On plum and cherry, however,
more injury was done by punctures in
the twigs, causing death Of the foliage.
The natural home Of this insect is in
dead bark, so all brush piles and deao
trees should be removed from the or
chards. Caustic washes upon trunks
and branches serve as a preventive
measure, and cutting OF and burning
the infested twigs destroys many Of the
beetles.

And now about this Man of Thirty

the Bachelor Girl.
I'VE women owe him grudge, said
the hostess. propping her elbow on the
table and her chin on her hand and gaZ-
ing thoughtfuIly into the fire, because
he has stolen our thunder. All the little
arts that we employ he has taken TO
himself. He is not effeminate On the
contrary. Rather is he feminine in a
most subtle way. Did it ever occur to
you that the most interesting men are
far more feminine than the majority Of
wemen?''
The Bachelor Girl nodded understands
ingly.

give their mind to little things-and real

do it with perfectness of detail that

enigma He is, seldom, however, what
the world calls a success. Ard, after all

The hostess leaned over and poked the
fire vigorously.
The Bachelor Girl rose and drew on
her gloves.

The Woman of the World hesitated a
little before she replied. Finally, with
the least suggestion of a shrug, Most

Some men are mere interesting than
others. What do you think about the
Man of Thirty-fve?''

The women of Malta, of the Basque

more for anybody than he cars for him

spite of the fact that he is wonderfully
dependent upon them. He's a cheap
cynic. He thinks every girl he meets is
possessed of but one desire-the posses

vain, this man of tfirty-five. He de-

the hollowness of life, the utter futility

the Bachelor Girl, laying down her cup

though he may think it possible. The
| healer" on the other hand, absolutely
! asserts the non-existence of disease
and his own ability to demonstrate it..
He is therefore responsible for the
consequences if his patient dies, as the
physician is not.
To take a practical illustration, sup
pose there is imminent danger that a
dam will break and flood the ground
on which a village stands. The in
habitauts discover the danger, and at
once consider ways and means to pre-
vent the disaster. One man declares
that having studied engineering and
the principles of mechanics, he be
lieves himself able to repair the dam
SO that it will be nearly as good as
ever. and that he will then direct his
neighbors how to build a breakwater
which viii turn the stream away from
them in case there should be a flood.
He explains, so far as he is able. the
principles on which he will do this
work, and makes them see the rea-
sonabieness of his argument. Another
man, meanwhile, declares that there Is
no need of any such action; if the peo-
pie remain quietly in their homes and
have faith. the dam will resist the ac-
ton of the water and become per-
fectly strong without any repairs. He
further asserts that God will protect
them, and that any attempt to pre-
vent the flood will indicate want of
faith in him. 1t is easy to see from
what class of people the second man
will get his following, and what will
probably be the consequences If he is
obeyed. l. the advice of the first man
is followed, the flood may come. but he
can hardly be held responsible, be-
cause he has done all that he could
to prevent it, and did not claim to be
able absolutely to prevent it. If the
advice of the second prevails, and the
village with all its people is destroyed,
can anyone say that the second ad-
wiser is not responsible for the dis
aster? The only hypothesis on which
any different argument can be based
is that an aIl-merciful Creator will
punish his children more severely for
using the brains which he has given
than for sitting still and neglecting TO
use them, and trusting to a miracle to
save them from the consequences.

Londou Society.

Some queer stories come from Lon
don, relating to the high society Of
that metropolis. and indicating that it
is in most respects a law unto itself.
Certainly tradition and logic do not
sanction titled women in drumming"
for jewelry shops and dry goods houses
under pretence of social intercourse,
nor in sticking" their wealthy male
friends for sums in the neighborhood
of a thousand pounds, to pay their
dressmakers' bills. In short, society in
the vicinity Of the Court of King Ed
ward seems TO be permeated with the
commercial instinct to an extent quite
surprising, and an i1onical critic sug-
gests a revision Of Byron's lines about
society being formed of two mighty
tribes, the Bores and Bored" so as to
read like this:
Society is now one formless ruck
Formed OF two mighty tribes, the stickers and
the stuck.
The verb TO atick' IS in use in Lon
don social circles, it appears, because
it IS needed. To stick a person is to
make him pay, by coaxing, threats, or
other means not recognized in ordinary
business dealings, a sum which he
does not wish to pay. These transac-
tions have been, in general, barred out
of polite society. 1t has been easily
recognized that if gentlemen belong
ing to the same caste and that a high
one, were permitted by the laws OF
their circle to dun one another for the
payment of debts, the pleasure of their
intercourse would be at an end. 1t is
impossible TO take much pleasure in
inviting a man to dinner when one
feels that he is being entertained out
of his own money which he has lent;
it is equally uncomfortable to go to a
dinner in these circumstances. Old

The Chinese plea.

IT goes without saying that the ma
jority of American people do not like
the idea of a great immigration OF
Cinnamon; that they resent the no
ton of a great influx of Chinese to this
country. The Geary Exclusion Act will
expire next May. and, unless its pro-
visions be extended, the hOrdes from
the Chinese Empire will be poured nrtc
/ this country as they were under the
treaty which Anson Burlingame ne
gotiated in 1866.
That was solemn treaty, and il
bound us as fully as any contract that
the country ever made; but when it
became convenient to violate it we did
so. with no more appearance of con-
science than a trust would show in
running a rival.
Now the Geary Act is about to ex-
pire by limitation-it has but few
months to run-and the question
arises: What are we to do with our
Asiatic neighbors?
When We shut them out, we did a
dishonorable thing. Let it be granted
that it would have been wrong to al
low mob Of Mongolians to swarm into
the United States. Nevertheless it was
just that we had agreed 10 accept
them, and it was not nice on our part
to violate a treaty engagement with
out notice TO the other party to the
same.
Now that the Geary Act is approach
ing its end. our Chinese friends are
agitated and anxious to see it die. 1t
never should have been enacted. but
not the less it is sound in principle.
This country is naturally the habitat
and sphere Of development of the
Anglo-Saxon race. The yellow or the
black race is out of position nere. The
United States is a white mans coun-
try NO doubt we committed a moral
error when we ignored our treaty OBJ
legations with China; but that is IN
cient history 1t would be worse in
morals and ethics TO change the po-
liticaI system or the past twenty years
and allow the myriads of China to en-
ter our ports, to spread misery among
our working people. and, possibly. dis
ease among the American masses.
