the Green Bag recalls two incidents
where the clients had rather the best

Sir Walter Scott's first client was a
burglar. He got the fellow off, but the
man declared that he hadn't penny to
give him for his services. Two bits OF
useful information he offered, however,
and with these the young lawyer had
to be content. The first was that a
yelping terrier inside the house was a
better protection against thieves than

no sort OF lock bothered his craft so
much as an old, rusty one.
Small compensation as this vas. the

During the past season the currant
crop in the Hudson Valley has been
seriously injured by a disease causing
the appearance OF numerous small, dark
brown spots on the leaves whi'h turn
yellow and fall prematurely. Currant
canes were quite generally defoliated
early in the season and the consequent
exposure OF the ripenlng fruit to the
sun brought about sunscald, resulting
in heavy loss. This trouble with cur
rants has been made the subject OF
a recently-issued bulletin (No. l99) or
the New York Agricultural Experiment
station at Geneva. 1t Is a fungous DIS
ease which attacks the leaves. leaf
stalks, fruit, fruit stems and canes.
and is called anthracnose. In New
York state 1t is present among cur
rants almost every season, but there Ia
no record Of its destructive occurrence
since 1889. Although II sometimes at
tacks also gooseberries and black cur
rants 1t has not injured them in the
same locality where red currants have
been seriously damaged by 1t. An
thracnose may be readily distinguished
from the ordinary leaf spot by the
smaller size OF the spots.
The weather conditions last spring
seem to have been particularly favor
able to it; but judging from the past
history OF the disease 1t is not likely to
become a constant pest. Probably, IL
will become epidemic only occasion
ally. In order to prevent these occa-
sional destructive outbreaks or an
thracnose and also the common lear
spot, check the ravages OF cane blight
and keep currant worms under control
1t is recommended that currant
growers in the Hudson Valley spray
with Bordeaux mixture every season,
making the first application before
growth starts, the second as the leaves
are unfolding and thereafter at inter
walls OF 10 to IA days until the fruit
is two-thirds grown. In wet seasons
make one or two applications after
the fruit is gathered. Whenever worms
appear add Paris green or green arsen-
old to the Bordeaux.

Female Birds con strike"

Birds are famous for "women's
rights" strikes-that is, the females
sometimes flock together, abandoning
or driving away the males. and refuse
to do any 'housework" whatever. They
desert their nests and will not finish
building. They leave their eggs to
grow cold and unhatchable. and moth
ing will induce them to return. The
male birds grow extremely concerned
at such times. but they have no rem
edy. for throughout the beast and bird
creation the male will never attack a
female, though the opposite often hap.

Wit OF ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
How he sized Up the Nationality of a

Archbishop Ireland. who travels

ure in becoming acquainted with the

has many pleasant little experiences
which are rather enhanced by the sur
prise and often chagrin of his newly
discovered acquaintance when they
discover the prelate's identity He
meets many Irish employees connected
with the different roads, who always
extend to him a "Cead mile failthe," "
or what means in English thousand
welcomes, but it was only recently on
train No of the Erie coming west,
that he found himself in an entirely
Hibernian atmosphere.
The archbishop was chatting with
Pullman Conductor w, II. Nugent-a
CorlSian, with all the native wit and
humor of the country that gave
birth to the Blarney stone-who was
explaining the recent changes in own
ership of the road, and added that the
majority OF the train hands were Irish
and then proceeded to name them for
the edification of the archbishop.
