Ia Lent Crumpler.

Professor s. A. Forbes: The leaf
crumpler (Mineola indiginella) Ia par
ticularly% Injurious to nursery stock and
young orchard trees. owing to the fact
that 1t hibernates upon the infested
tree as a half-grown lava and that It
attacks tho young leaf and the bud Of
leaf and blossom In early spring, thus
often arresting the growth OF the
branch or tree by destroying the ter
minal bud. Owing to Its early attack,
1t may do an injury far out OF proper
ton to Its numbers. II Is SO secreted
n projected upon the young nursery
tree that 1t Is certain to be sent with
1t whether the latter be shipped In
TALL or spring. The presence OF this
insect Is most easily recognized In
winter when the trees are bare. by the
presence OF clusters OF brown, shriv-
eled or crumpled and partly eaten
leaves. fastened together and anchored
to the trees by means of silken threads.
IL one of these ragged masses be pulled
apart, In the center Of 1t will be found
n crooked leathery tube shaped like an
irregular horn, and within this again.

The Dominic used to complain some
times about the character of the stories
the rest Of us told. He said they were
too economical In their use OF the ele-
ment of truth. And truth was so
cheap, and also SO interesting. he
would say. We were always ready to
admit that 1t was interesting. but were
not SO free to acknowledge its cheap
ness. Like other exotics 1t seemed to
US expensive. Fiction. being 81 much
more easily produced. appeared to be
the true mental provender in the Corn
Cob Club. a social institution where
we decided questions of great pith and
moment by the aid OF the civilizing
and ennobling influence OF tobacco in
cinerated In cob-pipes. The Dominic
had quit smoking when he entered the
ministry, but he always said the cobs
smelt good, SO we had hopes of his
reclamation; besides. the air was usu-
ally 30 thick that he absorbed enough
to bring him up, In a large measure,
to the high p%hilosophic plane occupied
by the rest Of us.
It happened on Christmas Eve that
somebody told a story appropriate
enough to the season sv Sar as the sub
feet went, but ~palpably impossible con-
sidernd as a happening. At least the
Dominic said II was. and threatened to
toll a Christmas story himself; and
being counseled by the Professor, who
was classical in his language, to "blaze

Peach Growing In Georgia.

All peach lovers who have the ben
eft OF Chicago markets know that q
treat has arrived when the Georgia
peaches come. for the orchards Of that
state furnish fruit that Is unexcelled
by the product of any other state. Few
realize the extent Of the Georgia in
dustry. II began about twenty years
ago In the experimental orchard of
Mr.. Rumpf of Marshallville, Ga. The
success that attended his venture at
tracted the attention of Northern fruit
growers. among others Mr.. j. II. Hale
Of Connecticut. who invested on his
w account with such profitable re-
turns that he has extended his orch
ards until he has become a king In
peach growing. The small farmers OF
Northern Georgia have profited by the
lesson and taken up commercial peach
growing to supplement the returns
from their field crops. These small
growers have benefited by the trans
portation rates which the large grow
ers have combined to secure, and are
able to dispose Of their comparatively
small outputto good advantage through
the brokers that have been attracted by
the big orchards. It Is pleasant to
know that the peach kings display a
friendly and helpful spirit towards the
small growers and assist them In all
reasonable ways. The small orchards
average from 1000 to 5000 trees.
A Chicago woman recently had a
narrow escape from drowning at At
lantic City. N. j. She was out In a
yacht two miles from shore trolling
for mackerel when suddenly there
was a tremendous Juggling at the line
and before she could brace herself
she was pulled overheard. Two men
in the yacht jumped overheard to her
rescue and not only saved her. but
landed the fish. which proved to be

Fancics I'm Food.

Odd food fancies are met at nearly
every house. know a hostess who
uses rock candy for sweetening in her
afternoon tea and maraschino cherries
for flavor, one to each cup. Nobody
else brews such delicious tea, her
friends declare and they never seem
to understand why. The rock candy
comes in neat packages of crystal,
which are dipped up by an antique
sugar spoon.
Another young hostess made specl-
atty of cake and beverages in which
she could serve whipped cream. She
was under salary from the proprietors
of fiavoring extracts, which they were
continually booming, and was supplied
with the material, which she demon
strated in her refreshments every af-
ternoon. She was n popular girl and
had instituted tea before she became
an advertising agent. She was devoted
to cooking, and therein lay her value
20 her employers. She began with
vanilla, made cakes favored with IL.
and put il in her tea. 1t adds n most
fascinating flavor to the favorlte fem
inine beverage. Then she added
chocolate to her tea outfit and used
whipped cream.
The next day she changed to lemon
flavoring, then to almond and orange.
and created such degree of interest
through her afternoons that questions
began to be poured over her. There
was her chance to speak good word
for the makers of the flavors. and she
used it in such clever way that their
popularity was established without
anybody suspecting her interest in it.
You can readily see how valuable an

Moman,s Fancy Waist.

The waist with shawl collar makes
a marked feature of the seasons styles
while tucking in some form Is al
most universally used. The very
charming May Manton waist shown In

slngularly well adapted both to entire

fitted lining, but white and colorcd
Batiste, organdy null, Swiss muslin
and all the similar materials offered
as well as soft silks and wool fabrics
are admirably adapted to the style
when the lining may be omitted.
The lining Is simply shaped with

arranged with the fulness drawn
down In gathers at the waist line. The

A French scientist, DIR. Franclsque
Crotte, purposes to electrocutc the ba-
cilli in impure water and thus render
II fit for drinking purposes.
The extraordinary feature of this in
vention Ia that DIR. Crotte charges the
electric current used with an antiseptic
gas.
Wherever the electricity passes the
chemical gas goes, too, doing its work
of cleansing but leaving behind not a
single other trace of Its presence.
1t resembles bactericidal X-ray,
for It passes where It will and kills
every microbe II meets.
SO remarkable appeared the claims
of DR.. Crotte that the Patent Office
refused to grant his application for a
patent until the most exhaustive in
quiries and demonstrations. How
thorougngoing these have been Is
shown by the fact that n patent has
been granted on ''process"-a thing
which the Patent Office very rarely

lion volts to put them hors du combat.
while 1900 volts is the power with
which criminals are electrocuted at

In using the Crotte method of cleo
trlcally destroying germs the liquid
which is to be purified is placed in a
vessel, preferably glass vessel.
Wires are attached TO opposite points
Of this vessel. but It is worthy of no.
tice that the metal ends-or what
electricians technically call "elec-
trodes"-do not come in contact with
the liquid.
A perfect stream of sparks is poured
into the liquid when the current is
switched on, but there is no change in
the temperature of the fluid, the only
difference caused by the electric fluid
being the total extinction Of the germs
of disease.
