1t is extremely difficult for Chinese of
the higher classes TO find husbands for
their daughters whose feet have attained

Military orthography.

baffled the Imagination of every clerk
and official to whom the puzzle was sub
mitted. The mysterious word was spell
ed "yfe." 1t was repeated several times
and seemed indeed to be the main sub
ject of his communication. At length it
occurred to one Of the clerks to consult
the hall porter, a grizzled veteran quite
unhampered by board school accomplish

"Can you tell us the meaning of this
word, SIMPSON," asked the brilliant
clerk.

Time was that farmers could hardlv

sometimes one who has not made

Farmers all over the south are d.
versifying their crops so as not to be
dependent upon the single crop of
cotton. This is as it should be.
Cruelty to animals is a heavy tar
on the owner. Horses and mules are
half fed, overloaded and then Wiped
because they can not draw heavy
loads.
Range sheep will not last out in
good condition as long as the farm
fed fiocks will. This is on account OF
the more rapid wearing of the teeth
by the sanded pasturage.
Keep the calves growing. They
will need a little extra care now. bu.

who is so unfortunate as to have it on
his place to keep it in check. After
q very careful study of conditions over
a wide area of the United States, and
the completion of many experiments,
the writer makes the following rec
concentrations for immediate action:
/. All badly infested trees of what
ever variety, should be grubbed out
without delay. Pile the brush and
wood where the tree stood, but do
not burn until next May or June. This
is done to preserve the little parasites
that feed upon the scale. If they are
not destroyed these little friends can
concentrate their attacks upon other
moderately infected trees near by.
The scale can not leave branch or
twig to which it is attached, therefore
when the tree is cut down all the in
sects die with the drying out of the
sap, while the parasites escape and
fly to other trees.
2. Spray all suspicious trees with
q ten-per-cent. mixture of kerosene
(ordinary coal oiD and water before
the leaves fall and while the pest is
still active and breeding. The scale
will continue to breed until checked
by cold weather. We have observed
the young crawling as late as Decem-
Der 10. Do the work thoroughly, and
see that you touch every part of the
tree, as the spray kills by contact
only.
8. Select calm, sunny day for the
spraying, if possible. Use a Deming
or Gould kerosene-sprayer. They are
made especially for this kind of work,
and mechanically mix the kerosene
and water in the right proportion.
!. A. Late this fall, after the foliage is
on, whale-oil soap, at the rate of two
pounds in one gallon of water, can be
used on pear and apple trees; but it
is not recommended for peach and
plum trees. 1t can be used, however,
to wash the trunk and larger
branches of peach and plum trees.
but must not come in contract with
the fruit-buds.
5. Crude petroleum has been recon-
mended by some writer's, but we do
not feel warranted at present in COM
mending its use. In Georgia the past
summer the writer saw serious injury
to peach trees, where ten-per-cent.
mixture of crude petroleum and wa
ter was sprayed. On an adjoining
row, where ten-per-cent. refined kero-
sene was used, no apparent injury re-
suited.
The main object of fall spraying is
to break up the scattering of the late
broods. The spray can be repeated
again next spring, just before the
buds begin 10 swell. with "copper"
cent. mixture of kerosene and water.
This can be applied to peach, plum,
pear, apple and other trees at that
time without injury to the tree or
fruit buds. This strong mixture
must not be applied in the fall, win
ter or on a misty or damp day. 1t is
a spring treatment for use as the sap
begins to rise.-Bulletin of MARYLAND

Chronic Coughs S
and Colds Are
Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh is the Contin-
ual Scourge of
Christendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in every ham,
let. 1t flies with vampire wings from coun-
try to country, and casts black shadow
of despair over all lands. Its stealthy ap-
proach and its lingering stay makes it a dread
to the physician and a pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh of childhood
to the wheezy breathing of Group, and the
song, OF the blushing maiden to the hollow
cough OF consumption. In its withering
grasp the rounded form of the fond wife
and mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
the sallow, haggard visage Of the invalid.
Cough takes the place Of conversation,

speech gives way to splitting, the repulsive
odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss of
the fondest lovers, and thickened men,
branes bedim sight, impair hearing and de-
stroy taste.
Like the plague-stricken Egyptians cry
of distress has gone out from every house
hold, and the mildew of woe clings to every
hearthstone.
Catarrh in some form, catarrh i'm some
stage turks as an enemy in the slightest
cough or cold and finishes its fiendish work
In heart disease and consumption.
No tissue, function, or organ of the body
escapes its ravages; muscles wither, nerves
shatter, and secretions dry up under its
blighting presence. Sc stubborn and diff
cult is this disease that to invent remedy
to cure chronic catarrh has been the ambi-
tion of the greatest minds in all ages.
Is 1t therefore any wonder that the vast
multitude of people who have been cured
OF chronic catarrh by Peruna are so lavish
in their praise of this remedy? That the
discovery of Peruna has made the cure Of
catarrh a practical certainty is not only the
testimony of the people, but many medical
men declare it to be true.
As drug store in this age of the world il
incomplete without Peruna, it can be OBJ
tanned anywhere with directions for use.
