UafaI to Know

An Old-fashioned remedy for prickly
heat is cream-Of-tartar water with a
little lemon juice added. 1t is consid-
cred excellent, and you can drink as
much as you please OF it without harm.
A simple floor wax may be made Of
one part yellow wax and two and one
half parts oil OF turpentine Apply
with a brush, rub down and polish
with wooden cloth.
A finger-nail varnish made of sixty
grains of paraffin wax, two ounces Of
chloroform and three drops OF oil Of
rose is spoken Of as being good for the
purpose and otherwise harmless.
In making flour paste, if you add a
little borax it will increase its adhesive
power about so per cent.
To clean plush or velvet, spread the
fabric on a board and sponge it with
turpentine or alcohol and then rub
brislly with a clean, dry cloth. When
this is done, steam it to raise the pile.
In doing this take very hot iron, put
it on it's side and cover it with several
thiclmesses OF old cotton or wooden
cloths made very wet. Pass the back
OF the velvet over this, holding it close
to the cloth until it looks thick and
fluffy.
Badly-tarnished brass may be cleaned
with ease II it is first rubbed with
vinegar and salt, or with oxalic acid.
After doing this wash it thoroughly
with soap and water and then polish
with rottenstone and oil.
Powdered bOrax, scattered about, has
been recommended for ants on the
lawn but some persons think 1t IN

placed where the ants congregate, 1t is
also said, will drive them away.

Washington, Aug. 1e.-While the
Chandler Evans controversy is far
from being as important as the Samp-
son-Schley feud, it is of sufficient con-
sequence to render the navy still the
storm center of gossip. Mr.. Chandler
has made record, both as cabinet Of
ficer and member of the Senate, of
never letting UP when once started in
a personal controversy and of inclin-
ing to quarrel as a dog to meat;
while Fighting Bob" as his friends
love to call him, was never the gutter
in any kind of battle. AS yet, this
much talked-of controversy is entirely
one-sided; but there are "other coun-
ties to hear from" You know what
kindled the flame-how Admiral Ev-
ans, in his recently Published book.
"A Sailors Log" made an attack up
on ex-senator Chandler. and Mr..
Chandler desires Secretary Long to
haul Evans over the Goals for it? Sec
rotary Long has publicly said that he
did not consider any action necessary
by the Navy Department.; but Chan
dler is the very antipodes of the sort
of man to allow such a matter to rest
and he is already stirring up his
friends in the House and Senate with
a view to having the matter brought
before Congress next winter. Admiral
Evans has had his first say in the

They met to discuss-report says mi
nus the first syllable of that word-the
details of a settlement of the bound
airy line between their states, which
has been a much-gnawed bone of con-
tention through more than half CEN
fury, but which now seems in fair
way to be settled by the commissioners
appointed under decision of the
United States Supreme Court. Two of
the commissioners are on the pay roll
of the Coast and Geoditic Survey, and
one of them is a civilian. The gov
ernors decided that the compensation
of the commissioners should be ten
dollars a day and expenses" This met
with some outside objection in the case
of the two federal employees who are
already receiving fat salaries from the
government. So, after a good deal of
discussion-again minus the first syl-
lable'-the Governors finally settled 1t
that the Coast and Geodetic men
should get only their expenses and the
difference between their present sala-
ries and ten dollars a day. The ex-
penses of establishing the boundary.
which is estimated to be about five
thousand dollars, will be shared equal
ly between the two states.
The social talk of the hour just now
concerns the doings of Cupid. The
coming marriage of Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky was great disappoint-
ment to many piscatorial maids and
widows of Washington who have been
living up to Christ's injunction to His
deciples, 81 will make we fishers of
men" The bride to be is Mrs. Mary
e. Blackburn, already relative by
marriage to her fiancee, being the
widow of his cousin, Judge Blackburn
of Martinsburg, w. Va. She was q
Maryland girl, daughter of the late
Robert McHenry and the eldest OF
three beautiful sisters. The second
sister, Nelly, who married Mr.. Kitchen
of Baltimore, is one of the loveliest
blends of the day, with profusion of
yellow gold hair. Since the death of
Judge Blackburn, his widow has re-
sided in this city, where she has a
wide acquaintance. She is both hand
some and accomplished, with charming
manners and gracious dignity. She is
just now at Cape May, but will soon
return to Washington, where the quiet

wedding will take place.

That men and women are just as ro-
mantle as they ever were, though many
of them are ashamed to own it in these
unitarian days, is proved by the uni
versal interest displayed in coming
marriages. Representative Cooper of
Wisconsin, who was married the other
day to a New York girl, of the same
name but no relation-kept his pre-
cious secret so well that none of his
colleagues suspected it, until they saw
the announcement of the marriage in
the papers. Thus the happy groom
escaped good deal of chaff-and also
the handsome presents, usually in the
form of a silver tea-set, which the
House and Senate always bestow upon
the bride-grooms of their circle.
Everybody is making friendly COM
ments upon the recently announced
engagement of Miss Caroline Gordon,
daughter of Gen. John B. Gordon, of
Georgia, the famous Confederate SOL
der and afterwards for many years a
members of the United States Senate.
Miss Gordon is young, beauty and a
typical daughter of the South. Her
betrothal to a Yankee of the Yankees
Mr.. Orton Brown, prosperous young
man of Portland, Me-, shows that old
time feuds are at last being buried in
Dixie. The marriage will take place
in October. at the Gordon homestead
near Atlanta.
Among other much talked-of mar
riages of the near future is that of
Miss Elsie DuBarry, the beautiful
daughter of the late Brig. Gen. Beck
man DuBarry. AS the name of the
bridegroom is yet a profound secret
and will be withheld until the invita-
fiOnG ont from the xyfda Div
of intimate family friends, popular in
terest is enhanced by the bit of mys-
terry. The only disadvantage is that
every unmarried son of Mars and other
eligible bachelor or widower who ever
paid the young lady the slightest at
tention, is suspected Of being the
lucky incognito.
The navy will also contribute a beau
tiful bride to the wedding season of the
early fall-Miss Elsie Bradford, daugh-
ter of Rear Admiral r. B. Bradford,
who is to marry a Nova Scotia clergy
man, Rev. James Johnson. Aside from
her personal, attractions, Miss Bradford
is an earnest student, and not long ago
received the degree of Bachelor of Arts
from the Columbian University.
Mrs. James G. Blaine and her family
are SummerlnB IN the AulrondackS, at
Westport Inn. Though the widow of
the "Plumed Knight" is considerably
advanced in years, and life has held
many disappointments for her, politi-
cal and otherwise, she seems to be
making the best Of her sunset hours.
Happily, the financial difficulties of the
family are at last removed. For a time
the Blaines were what might be called
house poor" having several handsome
residences, too valuable to readily sell
or rent, but on which taxes were ruin
ously high. The advantageous renting
of one of them at a fashionable resort,
and the selling of another in Wash
ington for many thousand dollars, has
lightened the family sky. Mrs. En-
monds Blaine has come from Chicago
to spend the summer with her mother
in-law in the Adirondacks. Mr.. Dam
rosch, a son-in-law, came early in the
season, and built himself studio close

both the army and the navy, when
they once get down on man, are the
most bitter and implacable foes in ex-
istenee, without the slightest regard
to Justice in the matter, if the blind

cases might be cited to prove this, not

washington, Aug. 1e.-While it is
,rne that the honey bee and the silk
worm of commerce are the basis of
GREAT industries, and while it is true
that many insects. through their func-
.ons as scavengers, as cross-fertiliz-
srs of plants, and as parasites of de-
structive species, do an enormous
or,ount of good in the economy of
life Judging from the standpoint of hu-
man beings, the actual loss brought
about by the work of other insects,
mainly to the farmer, the fruit grower
and the stock raiser, goes far towards
ofsetting the benefits derived from in
sects. if it does not, in fact, complete

Total ........... ............ $500, OO0 900
OF the 10 species of insects mentioned
as responsible for by far the greater
part of the damage done annually, or
which has been done in past years in
the United States, 1t is interesting and
important to note that eight and pos
sibly nine are introduced species. Only
four are certainly native. Our bot fly
(hypoderma lineata) and our buffalo
knat probably fed for centuries on the
American bison, just as the army worm
and the chinch bug have always fed
on our wild grasses; but the Hesstan
fly, the fly weevil Cor Angoumois grain
moth. as it is sometimes called, the
cooling moth, the wheat nudge, the hop
plant louise, and the gypsy moth are all
importations from Europe, most OF
them old-time introductions established
in .our territory early in the century
or before; while the San Jose scale
came to us from Asiatic regions and
the cotton worm from the West In
dies. The origin of the pea louise is
still problematical.
It is safe, therefore, to say that the
greater part of the damage to our crops
from insects is done by imported spe-
cies, and that nearly all of these came
to us from Europe. We have our re-
striction laws, which apply to unwel-
come human immigrants, but we have
never had governmental regulations
providing for the inspection at our
borders of living plants or fruits or
other substances which may harbor in
sect pests. Curiously enough, most Eu-
ropean countries, following the lead or
Germany, are now quarantined against
the United States in this respect, and
curiously enough, also, they have little
TO fear from us, even without the quar-
antine, as there is but one American
insect, the grapevine Phylloxera, which
seems to thrive in Europe.
There can be little doubt that accu-
rate as the estimates given unques-
tionably are as an estimated summary
of individual losses, their effect upon
the prosperity of the country as a
whole is hardly comparable to the
withdrawal Of a sum of money of this
amount from circulation; but the fact
remains that an enormous amount Of
money is lost every year from the work
of insects, and that the successful la
bors of the government and state en-
tomologists in devising remedies
against injurious insects are worth to
the country at large far more than the
public funds, which are spent in their
support. This government supports
work of this class more literally than
any other government In the world,
vet even with us the whole government
and state appropriations together do
not reach 500, 900 annually. AS oppos-
ed to this Il is safe to say that the
amount saved from the investigations
of these officials and from he following
of their recommendations runs far into
the millions.
