SHE WAS INDISCREET.

The Omaha Enterprise in a we'll
written editorial leader argues fo1
the dismissal Of Miss Iva Reed, one
of the teachers in one of the public
schools of that city, for having used
language in the presence of her
pupils, who were made up Of both
white and colored children, quite
disparaging of the colored race, so
much so that the daily papers of that
city took up the matter and are like
wise asking that Miss Reed be dis
missed from further service. There
seems to be no excuse whatever for
persons in public life to in any way
hurt the feelings of those over whom
they have temporary authority, and
this is especially true Of school
teachers and preachers, and the one
found guilty Of doing so should be
unceremoniously dismissed.

would not be very long before the
Republicans and Democrats would
be so bitterly arrayed against each
other that they would seek the Negro
as a balance Of power to accomplish
their political ends. To encourage
a white Republican party in the
South would be aiding the Negro,
and it should be done at all hazards.

OUR CENSUS REPORT.

The death Of those aged persons
calls to mind the report Of the 1890
census Of aged persons. That census
reported 1900 in the United States
100 years and over Of age, and more
than half Of these were colored. The
oldest white man known to live in
America was Joseph CreIe, who died
at Caledonia, Wis, in 1866 at the
age Of al. At that time there were
left in the United States 5O2 white
women and 385 white men over 100
years of age, 199 colOred men, 1,141
colored women, and 49 Indian men
and 36 Indian women 100 years and
over Of age. 1t is a curious fact that
at the present time all of the Indian
centenarians have disappeared.

Prior to his death he had attracted

Gabriel, who died at Salinas, Cal, in
1890, at the age of 151. The same
year Mrs. Eva B. Hart, of Syracuse,

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10.-Mrs. j. j.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctOred all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse. ..".
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan. who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and we'll as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever OF
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won.
dcrful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

USE OF PETROLEUM.
shows that Il Often De-
stroys Trees m Well ~ the liz
sects That Infest Them.

The varying and sometimes disas-
trous results obtained from the use OF
refined petroleum on growing trees as
an insecticide, and especially against
the San Jose scale. have led to the sus-
picion that the crude product might
be less variable and drastic in its Ell
fects. But so far as it has been used
itwould appear that we have yet much
to learn before we can with safety,
recommend the application OF the
crude product to the different varieties
of fruit trees. That it is efficient IN
the San Jose scale ii it is
brought in contact with this insect
seems now quite probable. But the
hundreds Of dead trees that mark the
areas where it has been indiscrimln-
ately used, point very clearly to the
fact that great caution is necessary
and no one is, as yet. able to say just
where safety ceases and danger be-
gins. Then, too, when no permanent
injury is apparent, a. in the case OF
the Seeding apples on the ground OF
the Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton, who can say that this unnatural
retardation may not after the first
application prove to be menace to
the life or general vigor of the tree:
1t is we'll known that, in nature, these
retardations sometimes occur, but
nature seldom, if ever, covers the bark
of a tree or shrub, and then OILY in
part, with vegetable growths like
lichens. and even these are known to
be detrimental, smooth, clean bark
being always desirable. In the use of
refined petroleum one of the most per-
picking phenomenon observed was the
fact that equally careful applications,
made by the same person, with the
same grade of oil, would give almost
opposite results. Here recommended
ton of the refined product for general
use has, in many cases, resulted dis
astrously and brought no little dis
repute to the chronological fraternity
of this country. The most that can
now be said for the refined product
is that ten to twenty per cent. mix
ture with water constitutes fairly
successful summer wash and destroys
the young scale, thereby checking the
increase and spread until applications
of whale oil soap mixtures can be
made.-Prof. F. NJ. Webster, in Farm

The Fruit Bark Beetle.

A pest discussed at some length
in a recent New York bulletin is the
fruit bark beetle. This was especial
ly prevalent last season 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 gum
nv excrescences. On plum and cher
nv, 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 dead trees should be
removed from the orchards. Caustic
washes upon trunks and branches
serve as a preventive measure, and
cutting off and burning the infested
twigs destroys many of the beetles.

RAIN AND SUNSHINE.
termininE Factors in FlavOrinG
Berries and Melons,

There are years when fruit has not
the flavor usually belonging to it. Es-
pecially is this the case with straw
berries and melons. On investigation
it is found that rainfall and sunshine
are the principal factors in determin
ing aavors. In very wet seasons
fruits grow large, but contain little
sugar. In dry seasons much more
sugar is elaborated, and this sugar
enters very largely into the indefin-
able something we call flavor. Prof.
Troop, of Indiana, touching on the
same subject, says: IAN excessive
amount of rain is undoubtedly one of
the chief causes of trouble. It is .
well-known fact that during a very
wet season Strawberries are of much
poorer quality, containing a less
amout of sugar, than when the ripen-
ing season is comparatively dry. The
same is true with muskmelons; the
crop may be larger during wet sea-
son, the fruit may be finer in ap-
pearance, but the sugar content
which gives the melon its delicious
flavor is comparatively low. Hence
it frequently happens that a variety
may give good satisfaction one sea-
son, and be very unsatisfactory the
next. Thorough drainage, either nat
urally or artifcially, will do much to-
ward preventing trouble from this
source. The use of fertilizers, rich in
potash and phosphoric acid, will have
a tendency to produce fruit of high
quality" It is doubtless true that Sc
lection of varieties for planting will
do much to give flavor, even in wet
season.

A Point Worth Considerine.

A close observer has well said that
birds have different tastes from
men; as rule they prefer bitter,
soser or insipid fruit. We should
never destroy such species as the
wild cherry, wild grape, elder, black
berry, juneberry, mulberry, dogwood,
Virginia creeper, buckthorn, sumach,
bittersweet and others. BY encour-
aging such plants we are approach
ing a solution of the problem, that
will preserve for our own benefit
both the cultivated fruit and the
birds" This is point that we think
many people have overlooked. Where
birds are most destructive is in local.
tiles where no food exists other than
that growing in the farmers garden.

A WAR EXPERIENCE.
Tale of q Hat That Drew Down Upon
. Soldiers Head His Come
mander's Displeasure.

"The men of McCook's brigade were
veterans, then" said S. NJ. Pyle, of the
Fifty-second Ohio, relates the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, "and there was lit
tie or no confusion, but remember
when we retreated from Lexington
in 1862 there was confusion every
where. Then men who made the fight
at Richmond and Lexington were
mostly green troops, and were under
fire for the first time. On the march
toward Louisville I wore a stiff
trimmed hat, which brought from
home, and which thought was more
becoming than the military cap. 1
had known Col. Dan McCook at home,
and as 1 saw him coming down the
line I fancied he would notice me.
HE did, but not in the way ex-
pected. Looking at my stylish stiff
hat, he asked: Where in hi do
you-you man there in the queer hat
--belong?' I told him with consider
able dignity that I was member of
company G, Col. McCook's Fifty-sec-
ond Ohio. What is your name" he
said, with contemptuous look at the
hat. IS. NJ. Pyle answered, consid-
erably. crestfallen, because I was not
enjoying The interview as much as
the boys were, and realized that the
colonel was disposed to make an ex-
ample of me.
"But as soon as he heard my name
his face changed and he asked: Are
you son of DR.. Pyle? and on my an
swering yes, said, kindly: you had
better put on another hat, just as
soon as the Lord will let you, so that
you will have the appearance of a
union soldier, else some of the boys
might take you for confederate and

A balanced ration is what will sus-
tain a COW one day. 1t is composed Of

pounds should have two and one-halr

asparagus is being cut for the de-

cluster upon the young shoots just as
they are coming through the ground;

old beds, several stalks should be per-
mitted to stand in each row at inter-
walls of about two rods. These stalks

The Selection of Plants.

Select plants for all plantations,
whether of strawberry, raspberry or
other small fruits. Reckless choosing
of plants from old beds or plantations
is the easiest way, but it has proved
the most proftless way. In every line
of plant propagation it is now recog-
nized that selection is the principal
factor in plant improvement. ia man
cannot afford the time to make proper
selections himself, it will pay him to
buy of men that make business of
doing that kind of thing.-Farmers'

STAGES.

centrate upon them, feed for short
time, and then deposit their eggs.
These trap plants can be sprayed
thoroughly with paris green and water
at the rate of four ounces in 40 gal
Ions. The poison can be applied dry
by mixing one pound of paris green
in 100 pounds of common flour or land
plaster.
The insects attacking young buds
should be collected by hand at first. A
couple of small boys with tin pals or
pans containing about one pint of
water and a teacupful of kerosene can
catch the beetles by bending the young
plants over the vessel and shaking
them slightly, care being taken not
to break them off. AS soon as the
plants begin to leaf out, they can be
sprayed or busted with paris green.
If the young larvae or worms are
brushed off on the dry, hot, sandy soil,
during the middle of the day, many
of them are destroyed.
The fight in combating this pest
should begin now to save the crop both
this and next year. AS soon as the cut
ting season is over and before the old
vines have become veritable breeding
beds fo- the beetle, spray or dust thor
oughly. The insects spend the win
ter as adults and hide any place they
can find protection. If, therefore, the
early and late broods are destroyed,
the greatest number of them can be
prevented from reaching maturity. If
the first brood now depositing its eggs
is fought persstently, the second gen
Grafton will not be so difficult to han
die. If both broods are allowed to
breed without any attempt to destroy
them, next years asparagus crop will
be in great danger.-Orange Judd
