blossoms. People in other parts Of the city
walked a long way to ascertain what kind

The Squash Bug.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The squash bug, like nearly all insects, is
attacked by parasitic flies. The squash bug
secretes an odor which repels toads to a
certain extent, hence the toad will consume
them only when very hungry. The bug is
also subject to some fungus disease which
has not yet been identified, but it has not
been very seriously damaged therefrom.
The most dangerous attack by the bugs
is that made upon the young plants when
they first come up, and before they have
more than two seed leaves. To prevent
this the hills should be covered with wire
netting, the edges TO be buried under the
soil, as the bugs will endeavor to get under
them. The netting will also keep out the
flea beetles and yellow and black-striped
Bugs. AS soon as the plants have five
leaves the covers should be removed and
the bugs fought by other methods. OF
course, hand picking may always be prac-
ticed. Some gardeners plant more seeds
than properly develop in order to pro-
vide against the destruction of the whole
hill. The plants should also be given good
culture, to add vigor to them, and also be-
cause the bugs are not partial TO clean cul-
t~iVation. The burning Of useless rubbish in
the fields reduces the winter shelter, and
all vines should be collected and burned
after harvesting the crop. The bugs may
be collected by hand from the vines, or
from squash plants between the rows used
as traps. The bugs also seek shelter un-
der leaves, in the earth, under clods or
boards, or wherever they can find a cover
ing. A 3 per cent. spray of kerosene and
water kerosene emulsion) should be used.
All eggs should be destroyed and the vines
examined twice a day. The bug will al
ways leave the melon or for the
squash. hence a few squash among the
melons and will trap them. An
8 per cent. kerosene emulsion may injure
the plants, about Z per cent. being strong
enough (seven parts kerosene to 100 parts
wdter.) 1t Is also important to kill as many
bugs as possible in autumn, after the crop
is harvested, and be sure TO burn every
vine. When spraying the vines care should
be used, as the kerosene and water must
be intimately mixed. TIL first flow should
be on the ground for a minute, as IT may
contain too much kerosene. Spray the
vines lightly, not too much. the spray to be
very fine. The mixture will drive the bugs
from their covers, when they can be de-
stroyed. AS stated before. everything de-
ponds upon destroying them by hand.

One Per Cent. of 5000 o. Families
Owns Half Our Wealth.
Ainslee's Magazine.

Ainslee's Magazine.
Few, however, can really afford any con-
siderable degree of luxury. There are in
the United States about 100000 families
and l per cent. of these own more than
half of the aggregate wealth of the coun-
try. These 10000 families, presumably,
can afford to be luxurious in their living.
but the standards they make are not safe
standards for any but themselves. The
man with 5000 a year is sure to come
quickly to grief If he try to live as the
man does who has $4,000 a year. And so
on down the whole list. II we do not reg
ulate our luxury according to our means
'demnition is our certain portion"
The 1 per cent who own 50 per cent. Of
the wealth are not all millionaires, one
one-third m~inionaires. But they can afford
the luxuries. and it may be that we have
no right or reason to blame them. Mr..
Carnegie says they are very valuable. and
Mr.. Carnegie is far from being a lover or
an appreciation of luxury. He inherited
a love for h~aggis-that was in his Scotch
blood-and he acquired a love for scrapple-
that was his environment. This acquits
Mr.. Carnegie of luxuriousness, so il is only
falr IN conclusion TO quote his defense of
his kind, who, unlike him, enjoy the flesh
pots and know them on sight. In his new
book he says:
1T will be a great mistake for the COM
munitY to shoot the millionaires, for they
are the bees that make the most honey
and contribute most to the hive even after
they have gorged themselves full. Here
is a remarkable fact, that the masses Of
the people In any country are prosperous
and comfortable just in proportion as there
are millionaires. Take Russia, with it's
population little better than serfs, and liv-
ing at the point of starvation upon the
meanest possible fare, such fare as none
or our people could or would eat, and you
do not find one millionaire in Russia, al
ways excepting the Emperor and a few
mobiles who own the land, owing to their
political system. II is the same TO a great
extent in Germany. There are only two
millionaires known to me in the whole Ger
man empire. In France, where the people
are better off than in Germany, you cannot
count one-half dozen miIlionaires in the
whole country. In the old home of our
race, In Britain. which is the richest coun-
try in all EurOpe-the richest country in
the world save one, our own-there are
more millionaires than in the whole of the
rest of Europe, and its people are better off
than In any other. You come to our land; we
have more millionaires than in all the rest
of the world put together, although we
have not one to every ten that is reputed

Country Gentleman.
The matter of the capitalization and i'm
provement of the strawberry calls up the
old arguments about the parentage Of our
common stra wberries. Strangely enough.
we have here a very popular fruit now
grown by thousands of tons all over the
continent. but which has come up from
total obscurity almost within a generation.
Hundreds of men and women now living
and eating strawberries 1--WE hope) can re-
member well when this fruit was practi-
cally, If not totally, unknown. Yet, de-
spite the recentness of its origin. nobody
seems TO remember where the stra wberry
came from. 1t has been a favorite riddle
few years ago. Professor Bailey made
some small experiments in his back yard.
and wrote some striking essays about the
evolution Of the strawberry. In the con-
clusion. he aScribed IL to a parentage
quite different from that commonly be-
leved In. Whereas the usual suDDosition
has been that the common wild strawberry
OF the eastern and central states was
the real progenitor, Professor Bailey said
that ii was the wild trawberry OF Chill
and Oregon-a very different plant. This
conclusion has not been so carefully re-
viewed and criticised as its Importance
would warrant; but If il is true. IL has
a weighty bearing on the future evolution
OF the garden strawberry. IL il is a fact
that our common varieties do not contain
even a strain OF our eastern wild straw
berry-that fruit Of indispensable flavor
and aroma-then it is high time that the
plant-breeders began TO infuse the blood
OF the wild berry with that OF the grosser
cultivated one.

Care of Bush Fruits.

Country Life in America.
Intelligent pruning is imperative to any
success in the growing Of the bush fruits.
On the newer wood the fruit is borne. and
the old wood should be cut away as soon
as it's usefulness is past. hen one must
limit the number of shoots that arise from
the crown in order that the plant may not
be choked with too much growth. In all
the bramble fruits-blackberries, dewber-
ries-the wood bears but once. Let us sup
pose that the shoots spring from the crown
in the spring Of 1900. II is we'll TO pull
out all but four or six of the strongest.
BY fall these shoots or canes have reached
their full stature. In 1901 they will bear
their first and only crop. After the crop
is off-or before the following spring
they should be cut out entirely. In the
meantime-in the spring OF l90l-anothcr
crop of shoots has arisen TO bear IA 1902:
and thus the biennial succession goes on.
Currants and gooseberries will bear in the
same wood two or three years. but prun-
ing should keep the bush I'm constant
process of renewal from the root. Add TO
this ample cultivation of the soil. and a
full-ripe berry of any of these sorts far
eXcels its wild prototype.

LED INTO
A Righteous Decision of a Chicago
Judge.

Topeka Capital.
Judge Edward F. Dunno Of the Criminal
Court of Chicago has recently rendered a
decision that is of interest TO every bust
ness man in the country. Tt was the case
Of the State VS.. William G.. West, an
employe of the packing house of Nelson
Morris & Co, who was charged by that
company with embezzlement. West, a
young married man about thirty years of
age, who was living with and supporting a
wife and two children, had charge of a
meat car for the firm, and each week
loaded the car in Chicago and then took
it to Aurora, making six or eight stops
at small towns along the way to make de-
Iiveries to small dealers. West collected
the money for all his deliveries and twice
a week made a written report and turned
in his money, amounting sometimes to as
high as $1,000. For doing all this work,
and occupying a position of trust in which
thousands of dollars passed through his
hands. he was paid S5 per week. The
company that employed him pushed the
prosecution and wanted him sent to the
penitentiary, but Judge Dunno found him
guilty of embezzling but SIS, thus saving
him from the penitentiary, and sentenced
him to serve thirty days in Jail.
In rendering his decision Judge Dunno
fold the employers of West that when
they asked a man to take such a respon-
sible position at such a small salary, and
where he is called on in the performance
of his duty to collect such large amounts
of money, knowing that he has a wife
and two children TO care for, you are
simply inviting him to commit a crime,
or at least exposing him to temptation,
and it is wrong" The judge said he be-
lieved West, the prisoner. to be a good
man. and that had his salary been even
as much as s. more per week he would
never have been exposed to temptation.
IF he had been paid S25 a week. as he
should have been paid, he would have
had $500 in the bank instead of being here
convicted of embezZlement."

Unwarranted Foreign Interference.
.ebraska state Journal


Pennsylvania is duly agitated by the dis
covery of her biologists that the Pelee
eruption a few days ago made an effort to
raise her off the earth. She proved too
much of a lift at such a long distance, but
she finds herself from one 10 forty feet
higher in the air than before. At Harris
burg there was an elevation of about one
foot. while near Honeybrook, in Chester
county, the hoist was forty feet, six inches.
The scientists of Virginia were stirred up
by these revelations, and hey are horri-
fed TO find the Old Dominion several feet
higher than she deemed herself. 1t is sus-
pected at Washington that something has
been mOnkeying with the %foudations OF the
earth under the national capita and they
have hired an engineer TO lake measure
ments. This sort Of interference with the
stability Of this republic by a little foreign
island like Martinique naturally excites
Indignation and possibly a movement will
be made soon to buy Martinique from the
French and plant the flag and the Consti-
tuition on her battlements to hold her
down.
