A Washington lady, Mrs Richards, made praiseworthy offer to the pub lie schools of the town of Washington that another season might we'll be inn itated by other people of public spirit in Connecticut towns. In Washington, as in many other towns throughout Connecticut, great havoc has been wrought by the caterpillar pest on the apple trees, and other foliage. In some sections entire orchards have been ruined. So Mrs Richards offered, a few weeks ago, prize of a beautiful picture to the school which should dis play the most colonies of eggs of this awful pest of the farmers, said eggs to be gathered along the highway. An other public spirited woman who has summer home in that town, Mrs Van Ingen, comes forward and offers a sec- ond prize. The only mistake the worthy ladies made, we think, is re- stricting the children to gathering them on the highways. We can scarce ly imagine farmer so blind to his best interests as to keep the children from his apple orchards in gathering these eggs.

MAKING a CARTOON.
Modern cnricature Composite Pro-

Few people who are not directly
concerned in Its making ever realize
how essentially the modern cdricature
is composite production. Take, for

Its suggestive background, Its multi

careful elaboration, and from the
Starting point the whole design has
been built up, detail by detail, repre-
senting. the joint cleverness of the ell
tire editorial staff. But the collabora-

Of the men who sat before the camera,

the same way. the political cartoon Of
to-day is the product of /, gradual evo-

features of many cartoon of the past.
1t Is not merely au embodiment of the

also of many traditional and stereo-
