WHITEW ASH FOR SCALE.

Il notice from report of the Virginia
Horticultural Society meeting at Roanoke:
that Prof w. f. M ey says common
whitewash is a sure remedy for the San
Josescale," says Practical Farmer This,
if true, is an important discovery to
horticulturists, and we would like to know
if Prof. Massey can back up his assertion
by actual trial" | claim no credit for the
the discovery that a coat of white
wash will smother any scale in the world.
1t was first published by my old friend,
the late Will I'm Saunders, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington man
whose hard common sense in practical
matters was sometimes worth more than
some of the theories of the entomologists.
Yes, we have tried it. and have been adj
vising the use of whitewash for several
years. completely cleaned lot of
large naples infested all over with the
gloomy scale, and they are now in full
health | advised it's use to nurseryman
in this State who had single tree infested
with the San Jose scale, and when his
place was next Inspected there was no
sign of the scale to be found. have used
it on greenhouse plants infested with scale
and it kills them all. If there is any scale
that will survive under a coat of white
wash have never found it.-Exch.

The Lady with the Parasol.

That serious accidents are averted
when the travelling public in street car
or railway train meets the "lady with
the furled parasor' is by no virtue OF
precaution on her part. but is due to an
agility on the part Of the public which
has learned to know her ways and be
wise in time. The method in the mad
ness of this handling Of the parasol that
invests an otherwise harmless and nee
essary article with lethal possibilities is
the carrying Of it firmly grasped under
the arm, projecting with its sharply
pointed and ferruled end considerable le
distance from the body. Thus equipped
a woman has but to enter crowded car
or squeeze along narrow aisle and even
life itself is not safe.
IL this is not the method and there is
variation, the parasol is carried like
lance. pointing straight forward, bay
onet, that is only prevented from spear
ing its victim by the interference OF
Providence or the intuitive shrinking OF
her would-be victim. for the woman
who carries her parasol in all these
deadly positions, liable to rake every
thing in reach as she sits down or
scrapes the aisle, is always perfectly OBJ
livious to the fact that she is at all men,
acing any ones beauty. peace OF mind,
health or happiness. However it is,
many are threatened, but few are caught
by the seemingly inevitable iab in the
ear or eye. or the straight scrape across
the face, or the puncture in the inter
costal space when the car jolts and all
who stand in the aisle fall on each 9TH
er's necks.
1t is, perhaps. too much to ask the
lady with the parasol to have care, to
carry it demurely by her side. and so
quiet the nerves Of her apprehensive
neighbors. The good fortune cannot
last forever, aud as a cat may look at a
queen, there is certainly no harm in
suggesting that the rigid presentation
OF the parasol at right angles to the
body is potentially dangerous for others
and is far from picturesque. Woman is
never so lovely as in summer attire, the
parasol as creation OF lace-like con-
fection is often a dream. but need the
combination OF the two be made night
mare?- Philadelphia Press.

grown nervous lately" He undoubtedly
meant we'll; but the final and apparent
ly unbearable thing he says is, "Don't
grow hysteric, whatever happens"
Before that brutal speech "she would
have clung to him and poured her soul
out on his breast, would have spared
him the worst Of everything and given
him the best, although how sparing
him the worst is compatible with tell
ing him that his wife, the mother Of his
children, is soon to die, is not made clear
to the literal mind.
That word "hysteric" cooked his
goose. His wife "lay still and unre-
sponsive. She tried to smile gently
upon him. "She began to sob-the cruel
sobs that wreck a weakened heart-and
the man fought for her life for an hour"
After this "he was quite devoted to her
for week or two. came home early. sent
her flowers like lover, and spent his
evenings with her." The wife receives
her husbands acceleration of tender
ness with kind of fear" How was
she to forego it when the time came
that it might overlook her again?
1t is perhaps too captious to remark
that this young woman, evidently a
sweet young thing. seems to be think
ing mainly of herself, as is the fashion
of hysterical women. IL she had ac-
quired normal measure of self control
when she was we'll, che would not. when
a dsnger-fraught illness beset her, liter
ally have cast her chances of life away
in "the sobs that wreck a weakened
heart"
The narrative insists upon her angelic
blonde care Of others, and carelessness
o. herself. But caIe for ones self is the
very first step in the care for others.
When a woman refuses to care for that
most important factor in the happiness
of home, the health of the wife and
mother,-as necessary, surely. as that Of
the other head,-she is guilty of su-
preme seltishnees.
1t may be the author does not intend
this woman who so forcibly resents the
word "hysteric." to be admired, But at
this stage Of the story we evidently are
expected to love and bless the darling,
instead Of desperately gritting our teeth
over her conduct in the face of her
danger. 1t may be that the next chap
ter will take her gently off from the
sacrificial pile where she is lying now,
the same being the aforesaid becoming
blue pillow.
1t is most provoking thing not to
come up to the authors expectations.
The reader is abashed by something
that stares from the printed page of
Jeans woe-souething which says pig
that you are. what. no tug at your heart
strings yet, eh? You hduc no heart

always is another hand,-"His Wife" has
