To KILL CUT WoRMs.-Just as soon
as possible plow up the ground and
turn up the cut-worms for the frost to
kill. That Is the only way to kill them.
If the earth becomes warm run In the
plow, let the earth freeze and the work
is done. The sooner the ground is
plowed the better, for a few weeks
more will be the beginning Of warmer
weather, and If the plowing is deferred
too long the cut-worm Is safe. It de-
lights in a cool location, but cannot
endure the thawing and freezing when
he is brought to the surface. Cut
worms infest old sod land more than
any other, and the labor Of exposing
them is small matter compared to
the damage they do crops, especially
corn, when planted on sod. Very often
these pests compel the entire resetting
Of sweet potatoes, early cabbage and
other vegetables, and the damage they
annually do may be estimated far up
in the thousands Of dollars. Salt will
not kill them, fowls will not eat them,
and there is no way Of effectually get
ting rid of them except by frost. They
are persistent, and give continually
more or less annoyance as long as they
remain. A vigorous warfare should
be waged against them by every far
mer-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HE ONLY SMILEs.-Major General

Are you in the United States ser

'Not by a blamed sight" was the
explosive reply. II am free born

my ORDERS" said the General. "are
to send back only those who are in the
military or civil service"
Marshall thought moment. "Gen-
eral, you could send me If you wanted
to-" he ventured persuasively.
"See here, Mr.. Marshall" replied the
general, sternly, "if you were in my
place and had my orders, and was
in your place, would you give me
transportation"
you bet would" returned Mar
shall quickly, "and be darned glad to
get rid Of YOU"
When the general Is asked whether
the man got transportation, he only
smiles.-New York Times.

WHAT BRITISH BOYS CAN Do.-Here
are some examples compiled by the
London Telegraph, Of what the British
schoolboy can do when he tries hard:
John Wesley was a great sea cap
tain.- He beat the Dutch at Waterloo
and by degrees rose to be duke Of Wei
lington. He was buried near Nelson,
in the Poets Corner at Westminster
Abbey"
Asked to name six animals peculiar
to the Arctic regions, a boy replied:
Three polar bears and three seals"

"The possessive case is the case when
somebody has got yours and won't give

"The plural Of penny Is twopence."

WOULD TAKE CARE OF HIMsELF.-At
an East Side kindergarten a few days
ago a visitor gave a silver dollar to a
bright little boy.
Now" she said, what are you go
ing to do with it?''
"I'll have it changed into halves"
said the boy without moments hesi-
tation.
"And them" asked the questioner.
"I'll get quarters
"And then?"
"I'r get dimes. and then nickles, and
then pennies"
What will you do them" asked the
visitor smiling.
I'll get nickels," said the boy.
But why will you get nickels when
you have already had them?"

FOOling Battleship LoOkOuts.

When a submarine torpedo boat Is
about to deliver her attack she must
rise close enough to the surface Of the
sea in which she is submerged to make
a fresh observation. Bearings are OBJ
tained by lifting out of the water the
upper end of a vertical tubular device,
called a periscope. The experiment
would probably be tried when the SUBJ
marine was so near to her foe that de-
lection Of the former by the latter
might prove a serious matter. A few
well directed shots from a small cali
bre rapid fire gun on the threatened
battleship would disable, If they did
not sink, it's tiny assailant. Lookouts

AN INGENIOUS PLAN.-The mos in
genious of all attempts on kings life
is probably fictitious. but it is moi e
the less good as an anecdote. The sto-
ry runs that the late czar was travel
ing by train through Russia, when, on
looking out of the window, while the
train was standing at station, he
saw an extremely beautiful lady pacing
the platform. The lady entered the
next carriage to that of the czar, and
the train started on its further jour-
ney, leaving the monarch in condi-
tion of profound curiosity. Suddenly
his imperial majesty heard a piercing
screech, and without dreaming of the
consequences. he put his head out OF
the window in order to see what had
happened to the lady who Dumas would
call the unknown. His attendants
pulled him back-just in time-for the
train at that instant dashed through
one Of those narrow bridges which In
Russia fit the contour of. the carriage
as closely as a tube, and which would
have made short work Of the czar's
houlders.-London Daily News.

NOT In SosIETY.-Of pretentious
but not we'll read dame Of the Vic
torian period Lady Bulwer used to re-
late this incident:
The conversation turned on literature
one day, and this lady, who aimed at
forming a salon, got rather out Of her
depth.
"Who is this Dean Swift they are
talking about?" she whispered at last
to Lady Bulwer. II should like to in
vite him to one Of my receptions
ALAS, madam" answered Lady Bull
wer, "the dean did something that has
shut him out Of society,""
Dear me! What was that?"
well, about a hundred years ago he
died"

on big warships have, therefore, peen
trained to watch for anything Whlch
resembles the tip of periscope during
naval maneuvres, and to report their
discoveries promptly. At least, sucn
is the practice in. the French navy
which includes a considerable number
of submarines, and which has given
them many public trials.
1t has recently been noticed that the
end of a periscope looks like the top
Of a champagne bottle. Accordingly
by weighing number Of such bottles
SO that they will float with just the
right amount Of neck out Of water,
it is often possible to fool the most
yigilant observer. The crews OF the
French submarines have already de-
rived much fun from the trick, and
they hope to profit from it in time OF
war. If by such means the enemy can
be induced to misdirect his fire, there
would be a better chance Of success

FROM CHINA.-There is Chinese
story which tells how a very stingy
man took a paltry sum of money to an
artist-payment is always exacted in
advance--and asked him to paint his
portrait. The artist at once complied
with the request. but when the por-
trait was finished nothing was visible
save the back of the sitter's head.

SagaciOus Cats.

South of Fulton street, in New York
city, the cat Is not pet but a busi-
ness investment, an insurance policy
against the river rats. Yet, wild as
some of these animals are, there is one
man, says the Tribune, whom they re-
gard with approval. That is the cats
meat man.
IT don't know all of them," he says.
mo man could; and besides there are
changes all the time. But if I don't
know them, they all know me, every
last cat Of them.
"And they're wise; cats are as wise
as any beast that lives. Every cat on
the block runs to meet me, but they
are always on their good behavior.
"Now, here's a place where leave
meat for six cats. They all follow me
in when I give it to the porter They
are all cats that belong here, and all
the rest of the cats are waiting peace
ably for me to come out. Now, see
those four cats run ahead and into the
next place; they're the cats that be-
long there, and they line up to meet
me.
But that is small part of the wis
dom Of these cats. Five mornings in
the week get around my beat between
7 and o'clock, but on Saturdays I am
always late, and never reach this block
before 9. Well, on Saturday mornings
the cats know that I'm late, and they
don't put their heads outside the doors
until it lacks only little of o'clock.
You see there are calendars hang
ing up in every office to tell the day of
the week, and clocks, too, and there's
nothing to hinder the cats from con-
sulting them. If they don't find out
that way how do they know when it's
0 o'clock Saturday mornings?"

He Saw Himself.

You must excuse me, gentlemen,
for I cannot drink anything" said a
man who was known to the entire town
as a drunkard >.
"This is the first time you ever re-
fused a drink" said an acquaintance:
The other day you were hustling
around after cocktail, and in fact
you even asked me to set 'em up"
That's very true, but am very
different man now.
Preacher had hold Of you?"
mo sir, no one has ever said word
to me-
well, then, what has caused the
changer"
"Tll tell you. After leaving you the
other day, kept on hustling after a
cocktail, as you call it, until met a
party of friends. When I left them I
was about half drunk. To man Of
my temperament, a half drunk is a
miserable condition, for the desire for
more is so strong that he forgets his
self-respect in his effort to get more
drink. I remembered that there was
pint of whisky at home, which had
been purchased for medical purposes.
Just before reaching the gate, I heard
voice in the garden, and looking over
the fence, I saw my little son and
daughter playing. Now you be ms" F"

HE took a bottle, ran away and
filled it with water. Pretty soon he re-
turned, and entering the playhouse,
nodded idiotically at the girl and sat
down without saying anything. The
girl looked up from her work, and said:
James, why do you do this way?
"'Wizzer way? he replied.
"'Gettin' drunk
"'Who's drunk?'
"'You are, an you promised when
the baby died that you wouldn't, drink
any more. The children are almost
ragged, and we haven't anything to
eat hardly, but you still throw your
money away. Don't you know you are

II hurried away. The action was
too life-like. ! could think of nothing

CannOn's FLY Story.

Congressman Cannon. who is pow
er in argument and quick at repartee,
enjoys displays Of similar resourceful-
ness in others.
During the hot summer campaign in
Illinois he sought temporary rest In
hammock stretched under the trees in
the yard Of country hotel. From his
window the shade looked inviting, but
on the spot he found the lawn strewn
with tomato cans, potato peelings and
other debris. On many Of these more
or less unsanitary mounds were myr-
lads Of flies.
Il had no sooner stretched myself
in the hammock" said Mr.. Cannon,
than these flies attacked me, seeming
ly by the million. 1t was intolerable,
and in no pleasant frame Of mind I
looked UP the proprietor.
"'What do you mean,' demanded,
by stretching your hammock in that
fly-haunted field Of torture you call a
lawn?'
"I know the flies are bad out there
now,' he answered. but, Mr.. Cannon,
you ought to use the hammock during
hammock hours, and you'd have no
trouble from the f1ies.'
what are hammock hours? I in-
quired.
"'From IL noon to p. m, daily he
replied. During these hours flies will
not attack you in the hammock
II was much interested in the mans
Socratic skill in evading the issue, and
wishing to draw him out. I asked:
"'Why are there no flies around the
hammock between IL and 90
"'Oh,' he rejoined, at that time
they're all in the dining room.' ~
