WELCOME TO VENEZUELA.

Kind of English.

Robert G. Morris, member of the board
of arbitration for the settlement of the
Venezuelan claim, is one of the most popular
men in Caracas just now. He has been fire.
quently in receipt of letters from natives who
wish to show their good will for one reason
or another. Perhaps the most unique and
puzzling of these letters is the following et-
fusion, written in English by a prominent
Portuguese resident of Caracas, the Nene~
zuelan capital and which was forwarded to
Mr. Morris shortly after his arrival. Mr..
Morris had not discovered its real purport
when city was forwarded to friends in this
city, relates a Chicago exchange. Here Is
the puzzling document:
MIR Robert G. Morris: This gentleman
has arrived a few days ago to Caraca, aus
Arbit of the reclamation of United States OF
America in Venezuela.
"Mr Morris came with his loving wife, she
is very kind as handsome young lady.

bles persons. The great Mr.. Morris makes

USEFUL CHINESE BUGS.
They Feed ON the San Jose Scale and
Are Expected to Save Millions
for Fruit Growers.

More bugs are being Matched daily
at the department of agriculture at
Washington than we're ever before
stimulated by human enterprise.
The insects chosen for propagation
"a dozen of them. which were i'm
ported alive from China more than a
year ago-were so precious that sin
gle specimen could not be bought for
$1O0.
This will be better understood when
it is explained that this batch of bug:
with their progeny bid fair to ric
the United States of a pest which at
the present time is causing a loss. of
$10,OOO.O00 year.
The pest is the San Jose scale
originally brought from China or
Hawaii to California, which has
spread over large portion of the
fruit-growing regions of the United
States, and threatens to wipe out the
horticultural industry.
Once it gets foothold in an or
chard it sweeps through the latter as
destructively as fire. It's rate of prop.
agation is something fabulous, under
favorable conditions, and the twigs
and branches it attacks are quickly
covered with a sortcf gray scurf con-
sisting of the waxy execretions o. an
incalculable multitude of microscopic
insects.
By good luck Mr.. Marlatt, one of I'm
Gle Sans most skilled entomologists,
10 ho 0un1inc in
China about 1S months back and found
there this very plague. But the mis-
chief, though obvious enough, was not
specially destructive because of pecu-
liar insect much resembling a minia-
ture hedgehog.
It seemed evident that this was the
enemy provided by nature for keeping
down the scale insect, and Mr.. Marlatt
promptly proceeded to capture few
hundred specimens, which he brought
to this country in tin boxes.
Nearly all of them died on the way,
but on reaching Washington the dozen
hardy ones that survived were put
into a wire net cage outdoors, being
placed upon the branches of a pear
tree that was thoroughly infested with
the scale insects. Without minutes
delay the Chinese bugs went to work
proving upon the scale insects. and
what was more important, they pro-
ceeded to multiply their own kind rap
idly
Pretty soon a second cage containing
another fruit had to be built to re-
ceive the overflow and to-day there
are more than a dozen similar cages

Empire State Express in Foot Ball.

The New York Centrars Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated by Americas greatest
to cover the ground in the time required. 1t
is for this reason that the Harvard Uni
versity football team named their best and
surestplay of the season Of 1902 the Empire
State Express" for they believed it to be
the most reliable play in their programme.
1t was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's '20th Century Limited -"
play, which was just as swift, safe and sure,
buthad longer endurance and was 'limited"
only by the size of the field. The names OF
the rival teams very correctly describe the
difference in the famous trains, the Empire
State'' running only from New York to
Buffalo, while the ''20th Century Llmited''
makes the $50 miles between New 7 ork and
Chicago in twenty hours every DAY of the
year. Great is the New York Central and
great are the trains it operates-sWift, safe
and reliable.-From the Bf0olcty7l standard

THE LOVE or LATER YEARS.

What of the strong mans stubborn pas
sion,
When Love comes singing sweet and low?
What of the long established fashion
When Love comes pleading: Let II gos
From habits that enslaved before
He turns as one newborn, to slsh'
He dreams of wildwood haunts no more.
His gun and rod uncherished lie.
The thurders of applause that shook
The halls of state for him are all
Forgotten when she turns to look
And when he hears her softly call;
The wisdom thai he had he lays
Aside, forgetting to be wise,
He Graves no honor but her praise,
His universe is in her eyes.
What of the strong mans solid reason
When Love comes signing: STRAY with
rne?"
To noble heights or down to treason
He follows on submissively.
From that which armies might have trleo
In vain to move him he recedes,
And at pensfYe womans side
The strong man signs and hunbly pleaos.
The dreams that young love dreams are
fair,
The signs that young love signs are
sweet.
Glad angels hover, watching, Where
The lips of coy young lovers meet.
The skies above young love are piue'
The laughter of young love is gay;
To young love all the world is new
And all it's troubles far away.
But send to me the sweeter, later
Love, blossoming where sorrows lie,
The deeper love the broader, greater,
That comes to flower but not to die.
For him, when youths wild dreams are
spent
And Time has wfthered many a hope
Gods gifts are best If Love IS sent
To lead him down the western slope.

the practicability of it's construction
and the usefulness of it's features
must appeal strongly to those who
wish to have their home not only OF
a pleasing exterior, but also wish to
obtain this end without any very
great additional expense. The cottage
is, of course, designed for small fam
lily. It's exterior appearance is in
keeping with the surroundings and
will look well in any good situation.
It's size is SO 26 feet. The story
is ten feet in height. The foundation
is of brick, and a cellar is provided
under a portion of the building siS
and one-half feet deep. The outside
walls are sided and the roof is
shingled. The interior is trimmed
with natural finished cypress and
pine. A nice china closet from floor
to ceiling is located between the din.
ing room and the kitchen. and has
doors opening on both sides. There
is a bathroom near the kitchen, to
be fitted up as desired The pantry is
well arranged for convenience. The
cost of this cottage in most localities
would be from $500 to $500

AUTOMATIC TOMCAT.
Unique Invention of a London Genius
Clears the British Metropolis
of FeIines.

Probably nowhere is a peace-loving
community more annoyed o. nights by
philandering cats on every roof and
back wall than is the population of
London. Just now, for the first time.
a genius has risen with what appears
to be a successful remedy for the evil.
1t consists of nothing less than the in
vention of fearsome automaton tom
cat made up of a tin frame and COW
cred with a fur coat.
tom" is as black as the darkest
night, with stiff black tail standing
up defiantly in the air, and a ghostly
look in its sightless eyes. This bane-
full glare is produced by four-yolt
electric battery slowed away in that
portion of Toms" anatomy generally
occupied by the digestive organs.
The general principle of construc-
ton, according to the British inventor.
is based upon powerful clockwork. re-
leased by lever when the tail of the
animal is moved. The clock works a
pair of bellows, with two loud screech-
ing reeds, at the same time forming
contact to light the lamps in the ewes
and forcing outwards a dozen long
needle points, which come up through
the skin of the back. The tail also
acts as trigger and releases a ham
mer formed of the lower jaw of the
cat, which explodes two percussion
caps in the mouth.
One night recently an experiment
was made. The clockwork was wound
up and the beast placed in the back
garden. In due course of time a fero-
cious tom cat, with chips off it's ears.
walked up to the stranger to give bat
tie, while dozen of his lady friends
sat around to see the fun.
Without the slightest provocation he
flew at the automatic cat, removed
lump of loose hair from his back and
broke his tail in half That ended the
first round, but it was only the signal
for the tin tom cat to get into
action.
The tail exploded the percussion caps
in that cats mouth with a sound re-
sembling that of small cannon, the
electric eyes blazed out like search
lights, while heart-rending shrieks
rent the air from the bellows inside.
and the needle points got their busi-
ness ends into the tom cat
Within few seconds the garden
was clear and pale-faced pussies were
tearing off through the quiet streets in
search of home comforts. 1t was more
than a month before they ventured to
peep over the wall to see if the "black
terror" was still in possession OF the
place

TO DETAIN FOOD IMPORTS.
Goods Arriving from Germany,
France and Italy to BE Exam
lined for Authorizations.

Several cargoes of food products
have arrived at eastern ports from Ger
many, France and Italy, suspected of
being in violation of the new pure food
act which went into effect July /. and
the collectors of customs at the ports of
arrival are requested to hold the ship
ments until a chemical analysis can be
made to ascertain whether all or any
part of these cargoeS can be admitted"
This is the substance of letter re-
ceived by the secretary of the treasury
from the department of agriculture,
and is the first step toward test of the
new law. DR.. Wiley, chief of the chem
istry division of the agricultural de-
partment, has been engaged for months
in making a careful analysis of all food
products imported. He has carefully as
certained and noted the component
parts of all commodities imported. and
has prepared what may be termed the
blacklist Upon this list is complete
record of all commodities found dele
terious to health, all that are forbidden
to be sold in the country where pro-
duced, all which are restT icted in sale in
the countries in which made or from
which exported, and all which are false
ly labeled either in respect to place of
manufacture or contents. These classes
of goods under the new law may be ex-
Guided.
The suspected commodities men
toned in the letter from Secretary Will
son include canned goods, sausages,
wines and liquors, olive oil and other
food products, Instructions have been
issued by the secretary of the treasury
to the respective collectors of customs
who have jurisdiction over the car
goes to detain them. The collectors
will be required to forward at once to
the secretary of agriculture samples OF
the goods. The ''cargoes" that have
been held are upon the agricultural de-
partment's blacklist, and Secretary Will
son. from the advices received from
sources abroad, has reason to believe
the entries must be excluded.

neling for the Metropolitan railroad
has made them much in evidence.
Being apparently driven from their
