beetles on the upper surface of the
leaves makes them especially easy to
control by this means. If this be de-
ferred until it is unsafe to apply an

be collected and destroyed in the same
manner as rose chafers. An effective
remedy, If applied before the larvae

A Riddle Making Epoch.

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue. and such epOchs would appear
to occur at seasons of fresh intellectual
awakening. Such an epoch there was
at the first slimmering of new intel
lectual light in the second half Of the
seventh century. This was the age of
Aldhem, bishop of Sherborne, the first
III the roll Of Anglo-Latin poets. He
left considerable number of enigmas
in Latin heXameters. and they have
been repeatedly printed.
Aldhelm died in 1903. Before his
time there was q collection of Latin
riddles that bore the name of SymphO-
sius. OF this work the date is un-
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used it. and we may infer that It was
then recent product. The riddles OF
SymphOsus were uniform in shape,
consisting each Of three heXameter
lines.-Coruhll Magazine.

Oh fly is said to have been composed
LAO years ago by the Emperor Yurla-
ku of Japan. One day. while this en-
peror was hunting, say, the ancient rec
ords, a gadhy came and bit his arm.
lhcrewith q dragon fly pounced upon
the gadfy and devoured it. Then the
emperor commanded his ministers TO
make an ode in praise of the dragon
fly. But as they hesitated how to begin
he himself composed a poem in praise
of the insect. ending with the words:
Even a creeping insect
Waits upon the great Lord;
Thy form 1t will bear,
o Yamato, land of the dragon hyl
And in honor of the dragon fly the
place of the incident was called Akit-
