CHECKING FRUIT PARASITES.
Success of Efforts to Destroy the En-
emies of Fruit Trees in
California;.

The fruit growers Of California
willingly acknowledge their great OBJ
legation to the chronological de-
partment of their university for the
success with which the ravages of
fruit pests in that state have been
diminished if not totally prevented.
To the scientific Investigations of
the faculty of that institution is due
the general immunity from severe
financial loss which the orchardists
of the state enjoy, states the Scien-
tific American.
No class or variety of fruit, the
cultivation of which has been at
tempted in California, ever reached
the period of successful propagation
than some new species of destructive
insect pest instantly appeared to
prevent it. This fact is true in all
localities. The orange, for instance,
could not have been successfully
raised in California, but for the in
PRODUCTION of the Australian lady
bug, which feeds upon the orange
scale. The plum, peach, apricot, APP
pie, and, in fact, every other fruit
known to the coast, each developed
natural enemy which would have de-
stroyed it, but for the successful eff
forts of the university entomologists
in combating it. In some portions Of
the state, notably in placer county.
new specimen of moth developed
which proved so destructive that a
loss of so to 60 per cent. in the peach
crop was suffered. Around Newcas-
tie the direct financial loss in the
peach crop alone is estimated at
$1,373,OOO in the past four years.
The University of California was
appealed to, and Warren T. Clarke,
assistant entomologist, was sent to
investigate. He was successful in his
search, and returned with complete
data of the habits and life history of
the worm and methods of propaga-
ton. Prof. Clarke, in order to learn
the characteristic of the new; species
of insect which was doing such i'm
mense damage, fastened twigs, in
which the eggs were imbedded, to his
underclothing, and thus Matched them
out.
From the knowledge thus gained,
Prof Clarke was enabled to devise
means for the determination of the
destructive pest. The loss of fruit
was reduced in the last year to a
maximum of 1A per cent.

Expedient of Reduced Nobility.

An American who was spending the

q palazzo, the first floor of which was
occupied by noble family in some
what reduced circumstances. He no.
ticed, to his surprise, that every day
he met a servant going up or down
the stairs carrying pair of carriage
doors. At last the mystery was ex-
planned The noble family shared a
carriage with some other families, but
each had its own doors, with the fam
ily coat-of-arms, to make their friends
believe that they all had carriages

DANGEROUS SUPERSTITION.
Strange Results of the Discovery Of
Treasure In the Island
of Sicily

No matter what progress may have
been made in intelligence and Gull
ture during late years in the larger
towns of Sicily, the interior is just as
full of superstition and ignorance as
in the old days when the church ruled
supreme, says the Pail Mall Gazette
The late storm, which did such enor-
NOUS damage to certain parts of the
island, in the end relented, the rain
washing up a store of very antique
gold coins at Castiglione, which ira
dition said existed, but which no one
very much believed in. Counting their
value according to the weight of the
gold, they are worth about 92,5OO,
which, of course, if they are sold judi
ciously, will amount to much more.
The event has aroused the greatest
excitement among the peasants, who
have gone in great numbers to search
near in the place, and have in most in
stances found one or two more each.
All this is not in itself very remark
able, but what causes disquiet among
the educated people is that murder
having taken place there shortly be-
fore, the people declare that the treas
ure was discovered through the
agency of the ghost of the dead man,
and had the murder not taken place
the money would not have come to
light. Now comes the really serious
feature. 1t is circulated that another
treasure, larger still, is hidden at or
near Pletramarina, and will only be
discovered by one who has the luck
to cut the head off priest. This
Sounds ridiculous in English ears; but
all the priests of that district, or even
those strange to those parts, but pass
ing there, will do well not to 20 alone.

Too Strenuous.

So the kind-hearted wayfarer took
the old man up and the old man,
having been carried across, tied his
legs around the wayfarer's neck and
told him he'd have to keep on toting
indefinitely.
But the wayfarer said:
ooh, don't know. I am the peo-
pie, and l have been taking calis-
thenic exercises lately" Saying which.
he heaved the old man into a mud
puddle and dirtied him all up.

THE SEASON OF MUST.
Time of Year When New York Citi-
xenx of German Origin Renew
Memories of the Fathe rland.

This is the season of must, one of
the several seasons when the inhabi-
tants of the German quarter find spe-
cial excuse for drinking drop or two
more than upon ordinary occasions,
says the New York Times of recent
date. The sweet, partly fern!ented
juice of the grape, cloudy, pungeot and
fragrant, has been for sale for the last
few weeks in all the Vein Stulen of
the region south of Fourteenth street
and east of Third avenue. Some Ger
mans buy must by the barrel or the
half barrel, and take it home, either
to drink or to ripen into wine. Others
go with their friends to their favorite
Vein Stuben to drink must at tie bar
or at. the little tables provided for
the convenience of the thirsty. There
is an ancient German tradition that
must is certainly wholesome and
strengthening. and in this tradition is
found the excuse for drinking freely.
The must of white grapes is pre-
the latter is drunk. The cloudy, ac-
tive, biting liquor has tang which no
completely fermented wine retains. It
has something of the wild quality OF
the fox grape, which smacks so much
of the soil in a state of nature. With
bread and unsalted butter and spoon
full of fresh smeercase, the normal free
lunch of the German Vein Stubens,
must is delicious drink, and one that
may easily be imagined to be peculiar
ly wholesome. It is not often seen in
other parts Of the town than the Ger
man quarter. Here it is announced
by placards in the windows Of the
Vein Stuben or by advertisements in
the newspapers. The season of must
brings to the public drinking places
men who seldom show themselves at
such places at other times of the year.
Not even the "May Trink" can attract
so many Germans, and the book beer
season hardly attracts more.
Large quantities of must are
brought to town in October from Ohio
and central New York. California
must used to be brought to New York,
UuU II uOCS AOG always oA11NC LII SoOO
condition, and is less used here than
formerly. European must is imported
and sold at three times the price of
the American variety, though some
even among the Germans prefer the
American as less likely to have been
treated with matter to arrest fer
mentation. The European must is
brought over in swift ships, and is
carried in small, strong casks, hoped
with heavy straps of wrought iron.
Even under these conditions the casks
sometimes burst with their lively con-
tents. In consequence of the large
percentage of loss the cost of specially
prepared casks, the high freight rates.
and the increasing abundance and pop
ularity of American must, the foreign
article is less imported than it used to
be. 1t is still kept, however, at special
places, whittier faithful old fellows
come to taste the sweet, singing
liquor. and renew their memories of
the fatherland and the wine harvest.

Where the eager strife for gold
Is among the things that have passed
