Dear Sir: Your letter Of the oath instant

point Of fact. Egyption cotton Is rather
more injured by this insect than other
cotton. That the boil weeyll can be con

and direct attack has been demonstrated.

tinue during the next two or three years to
carry on demonstratiye work Ia Texas Oh

On the pOstroad In southern New
Hampshire stands an old house which
was once famous for its ghost. 1t had
been q tavern, owned and managed by
two brothers and two sisters named
Mason.
The youngest Of the family, Hannah,
had been Tilted In her youth. After her
deserti0n she had never entered any
door save that Of her own home, but
gave all her strength to hard work
She would hatchel fax for weeks, spin
increasingly and weave on hand loom
without apparently thought Of rest.
She died after short illness, and
still travellers said that their slumbers
were disturbed by the whir Of the
wheel. Soon It was whispered about
that the Mason house was haunted.
Strange sounds were heard from the
garnet. where Hannah had always
worked. and plainest OF all was the
hum Of tho great wool wheel.
The brothers heard the story and at
once set out to solve the mystery.
Joseph went to the garnet and watch
ed. After q time the wheel began to
revolve. He struck light. On the
rim OF the wheel was great rat, run
ming around.
Frequent visits TO the garrett rem
dered this rat 30 tame that he would
come out on the spinning wheel by day
light. and several others were occasien-
ally seen TO take a spin In the wheel az
