A Pretty Custom.

South American lovers have a pretty
custom. 1t is well known that when
the petals of the great laurel magnolia
are touched, however lightly, the re-
suit Is brown spot Which develops in
a few hours. The fact is taken adj
vantage of by the lover, who pulls a
magnolia flower and on one of its pure
white petals writes 4 motto or message
with hard, sharp pointed pencil.
Ihen he sends the flower, the young
lady puts it in vase of water, and in
three or four hours the message writ
ten on the-eaf becomes visible.

~. The ants We're making the most
of the aphis juice during the summer
days, knowing that the supply would
fall off later when the aphides laid
their eggs. (Note here the superior
mental equipoise of the ant, which
neither betrays surprise nor writes to
the newspapers when her COWS begin
to lay eggs.)
These eggs the ants would store over
winter, tending them with the utmost
care until spring, when the young
aphides are brought out and placed
on the shoots of the daisy to mature
and provide food again during the hot
weather This ar-sightedness is un-
eXampled in the animal kingdom.
Other insects and animals put away
stores for the winter, to be sure. but
the ant is the only one that breeds its
own food supply.
Having taken her fill of the sweet
juice on this particular day, Formica
noticed that the aphis which she had
been milking was in a position on the
leaf which might expose it to the OBJ
servation of some aphidivorous insect.
She Immediately descended to the
ground when she obtained a mouthful
of earth, and, again climbing up the
daisy stalk, built tiny shed over the
COW, going back and forth several
times to bring up sufficient material.

Perhaps Fatally Hurt.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The explosion of
a boiler connected with the heating
apparatus in the basement of the
handsome five-story residence of Beale
r. Howard at 1410, Sixteenth street,
this morning, seriously damaged the
house and -yssaay result in loss of life.
The shock of the explosion was felt
throughout the immediate neighbor-
hood and the house was so badly
wrecked as to be too bad for occu-
pancy. The colored butler who was at
tending the fire under the boiler at the
time of the explosion, was frightfully
scalded and badly cut about the hands
and face. His condition is critical A
rough estimate of the damage places
it at $4,000 or more.

THE BOIL WEEVIL IN TEXAS.
Fifty-fye Counties Badly Infected
and the Damage During the Last
Season Estimated at 242 900 Bales.


Season Estimated at 242 900 Bales.
Galveston, Tex, Jan. 5.-From re-
turns gathered and published by the
Galveston News it is shown that So
counties in Texas are more or less af-
fected by the boll-weevil. Counties of
Southern Texas being literally infested
while in North Texas they have only
appeared in isolated localities. The
great cotton producing counties of the
state were attacked last year for the
first time in threatening manner and
there is great dread for the future.
River counties suffered most and river
farms appear to be worse attacked.
Wooded sections harbor weevil in win
ter.
Taking the census figures of produc-
tions as a basis it is estimated that
the bollweevil destroyed cotton in the
several districts as follows:
Southwest Texas 100000 bales: East
Texas 7,500 Central Texas, $4,000;
North Texas none; coast district, 90,-
900. Total PAP, 500 bales.
In 1899 and 1900 Texas produced g.
$685. bales, according to the United
States census, of which 1,55S,500 or
over half were grown in the counties
now infested with weevil.
