The burning question of insects and civlllza-
tion is discussed by DR.. H. c. McCook' ana
some astonishing things he tells US concerning
..tbe pvgnny captains of pernicious industry
The money losses brought upon this country py
them have mounted up into the billions or dol
lars. The outrageous fy-weevil actually causes
an annual loss Of S40000000; and the wicked
cod1ine-noth who revels in the destruction or
our orchards, costs US every year from $50
oooooO to 100000. The summing up of
American losses due to insect pests in one year
was in 1899 no less than S3o0O00000!

Who Knows a Book:
With staff in hand and dusty shoon.
7 walked from morning till high noon;
Then rested for a little while
Upon the green grass by a brook
And with a morSel and a book
Forgot me many a mile.
And then upon my way strode
With bending back beneath the loao
Until the night beset my way
With cheerful thought on song ana taie-
And so l fare by hill and vale,
Contented day by day.

Nav travel lightly without steed
And find sweet comfort on the road
He shall forget the rugged way,
Nor sigh for kindly company.
Nor faint beneath his load.

pulsory education. gather from his remarks,
will ultimately accomplish something in the re-
generation of this far too large class: but
though Mr.. Adams is hopeful, he has IL
lusions about the type he has studied. We take
from his paper this candid summary of the
hobo:
AS a character he is totally unable to foresee
wants and make provision for them. COnse-
Quently Industrial factor he lacks the
essential element of stability. Thus deficient.
he is incapable OF any function, no matter how
humble, whose recurring duties must be dis
charged punctually and without deviation. He
drifts from place and its employment to an
other, with other object than to make Il
change. He is improvident, aimless, without
an anchorage. and seemingly with desire for
one and undergoes hardships for the sake of
vile pleasures afterward. Hence. in his phases.

clergyman and philanthropist example, to
the criminologist scapegoat. to the professional

argument, object of charity. quarry for the

Work OF the Southern Railway.

The cry Of the time is for cheap
land, cheap In price, but rich in
prOductiveness. Land has become
so high in the middle West that
farmers are looking elsewhere for
a more favorable location where
they can become owners and not
renters. TIE southern states are
offering some exceptionally good
bargains in the land values and in
location that are easily accessible
to railroads. A demonstration Of
what these lands can produce was
exemplifed in the fine exhibit
