CATERPILLAR PEST.

Charlotte Observer Tho people are
waking up to the fact that this is one
of tho greatest caterpillar years on re-
cord. This pest is usually unknown
except in the spring, but there have
been three crops this year. Along
with the caterpillar has come another
pest in the shape of a small worm, OF a
hrownish red, with small white streaks,
that infests certain of the shade trees,
notably the cottonwood poplars,
by the thousands and literally strip
them of leaves. The super abundance
OF caterpillars, worms and bugs 10 ac-
counted tor by the long wet spell.
Superintendent Moses Thomas, OF
Elmwood Cemetery, has waged relent-
less war on the pests ali summer and
by dint OF hard work has kept the
cemetery comparatively free from
them. As result, the cemetery trees
look as green and fresh as in the early
spring, in striking contrast to many OF
the shade trees about the city. The
New York and Baltimore papers have
lately devoted columns to the ravages
of tho caterpillar in the parks of those
cities and they say that nothing like 1t
has eyer been seen. The only way to
get rid of the caterpillars at the pres
ent time is to burn them. The tree
will be spoiled for the season, but the
unsightly caterpillar will be gone.

A Cure for Cholera Infantum.

Last May" says Mrs. Curtis Baker of Bookwalter, Ohio. "an infant child of our neighbours was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery.

 New Orleans led the ports of the country both in actual increase in the value of it's exports more than three times the increase at New York. and also in the per centage of increase. Boston's actual increase was more than $5,000.00 behind that of New Orleans. and its exports were more than $9.O00,- 00e less. The per centage of Portland was somewhat larger than that of Sa- vannah, but it's actual increase was less than a third of Savannah's and only about one-seventh of Galveston's.
 The manifestations at these ports explain the figures of the totals in their sections. The total increase at all ports was $93,272,475, or 6.68 per cent; at North Atlantic ports $44,31S.1s5, or GOA per cent below the average of all; at Southern ports s44,040.52S, or sos per cent and at all other ports $4.9l0.7 751 or 278 per cent"

SMALL BOY AND THE MORSE.

Acts that Stamp the Human with the
Badge of Nobility.
What nuisances these small boys are
sometimes. The streets are full of
them. They play tricks upon us. They
SNOWFALL our tall hats. They steal up
behind us and placard our backs with
II am blind" or Wanted to buy 100
cats" We are made aware of it only
by the people who pass US, stopping
and pointing and sneering at us. How
angry we are! And then we discover
peeping around the corner three or four
small boys. They are SO comical we
burst into laugh; that is, If we are
wise. and remember that we have been
boys ourselves some time In the past.
And so the incident passes with the
comment, Boys will be boys"
For our part, we like small boys. We
can get along with their pranks. We
can endure the noise they make, muddy.
footprints on the carpet, pillow fights
in the morning when we would like to
sleep, the new suits all bedraggled and
muddy with, holes In the knee. the
stubbed toe that must be washed and
done up, bedlam In the house in gen.
eral. Why this moralizing upon the
subject of the small boy? you ask.
just this. We saw small boy, as we
were passing along the crowded street,
stop and caress horse. 1t was not
a royalty bred, high-toned beauty, but
an ordinary work horse, standing wear
lily by the sidewalk waiting for '.Get up
here" and perhaps the lash of the whip.
The boy was eating an apple. He
stopped and patted the horse. He gave
him part of his apple. He caressed
his nose, placing it against his face.
You should have seen the mutual quick
understanding between horse and boy.
Would we trust that boy? Surely we
would with uncounted money. His
frank, honest face, his eyes speaking
sympathy and kindness, intelligence
and pent-up fun and life, were an index
of his character and natural bent that
were unmistakable. Boys. you are
soon to be men. Such incidents as the
above are worth your consideration.
They are indexes of what you are and
| what you may hope to be. They have
a reflex influence upon you, too, that
will help you in after years. The boy
was understood by the horse; the OBJ
serving man understood the boy as
well.-Boston Traveller. .7js7
