was standing upon the step railing of

followed a serious epidemic OF ths
pear psylla and apple louise.
Brown rot was again less injurious
in the eastern states, but was very de-
structive to southern peaches, the loss
amounting to from 30 TO GO percent Of
the crop of Georgia. Peach leaf curl
seems to cause immense losses each
year, in spite Of the ease of controlling
it, by single spraying. In Ohio, in
Ottawa county alone, the loss from leaf
curl was $4,000 The losses in North
western Pennsylvania and Western
New York were also heavy.
The department, in a report on the
principal injurious insects Of 1903, says
that the calendar year showed small
er losses than in many years. Certain
pests caused great injury in limited
localities, and several new insect enc
mics of crops were discovered. The
Mexican cotton boil weevil, which
spread into Louisiana, is stamped as
the most important insect pest of the
present time. The San Jose scale and
the Goblin moth have engaged the at
and there is possibility of lessen
ing of damage in few years. There
were local outbreaks, usually not ex-
tensive, of the Hessian fly, chinch bug
and of grasshoppers or locusts, cut
worms and army worms.
Root feeding species, such as white
grubs, wire worms, root maggots and
root lice, were rampant over consid-
cradle territory. The cabbage and
onion maggots were particularly de-
structive. The two cucumber beetles,
orchard scale insects in general, and a
| few similar pests, were normally
troublesome Bill bugs did a little
damage, which is true of the bean and
pea weevils Shade tree defoliators
were only locally abundant. The gyp-
| sv and brown tail moths have both en-
| larged their territory, the latter hav-
inc become destructive in New Hamp-
| shire.
The cherry fruit fly has apparently
| disappeared, owing to atmospheric
conditions, and other pests, such as
| the squash bug, strawberry weevll,
squash vine borer, the potato and to-
bacco weevils, have not attracted at
tention. OF insects injurious to stored
products there has been decided in
crease, especially of the cigarette and
-four beetles Several species of in

south, but which have until recently
been very troublesome northWard.
have nearly died out in the north.

LONDON POLICEMEN.
The Methods Pursued in Their Devel-

All London constables. wherever
they may be stationed. pass through
the same initial course of training.
Some of the candidates who apply

Der from the navy: the majority are
well grown young countrymen, VINO
later on will startle one in the London
streets with a Whit of Yorkshire or
Devonshire in their speech. They
must, of course, be strong and healthy,
and their character must be I'M

weather. And every constable passes
once month under the doctors IN
spection. AS to characterized. that
is of the essence of a constable. who
must be not only a guardian, but an
angel.
When a man has shown that he has
the strength of a guardian and the
character of an angel he may be &C
cepted as a potential policeman. he
is put through a six weeks course OF
training. Day by day he goes to Wei
lington barracks and is taught the ell
ements of drill-which seem unimpor-
tant to a man whose function is to act
alone He is also taught a little
wrestling, and instructed as 10 the

citrant wrong-doer. Doubtless there

suPERsTlTloNs OF THE MALAYs.
Peculiar Belief of an Eastern People
in SIGNS and Omens.

You can scarcely ever get your mon
ey from a Malay on Friday, because
they believe that If they pay their
creditors on a Friday they will be
overtaken by perjury. Malays never
shave or cut their nails on Saturday
or Tuesday, because these are un-
lucky days, and if they do part with
their hair or nails on these days they
believe that they will always be IN
trouble or will die quickly The Ma
lay never sleeps in the afternoon, Tor
such an action shortens life! When
a rat bites Malay's clothes, 1t signl'
fies i'll luck, and usually the rat-Dltten
clothes are given to the poor.
There is a kind of bird called by
the Malays Rowk-rowk which does not
build a nest. and lives in fields. The
Malays say that whoever obtains
Rowk-rowk's nest will become invis.
ible as soon as he puts the nest on
his head. Of course, the Malays be-
lieve that there is such nest, despite
the fact that the bird never builds one.
If a Malay feels that his right hand
| is itchy, he is glad because he Will
receive large sum of money, and IL
he feels that his right eye moves, he
knows that he will see a foreign
friend. If tears issue from either eye,
he understands that relative OF MS
will die, and if he too often torgets
his promises to his many friends, he
is aware that he will die and Will
shed tears rather profusely.
When there is an eclipse OF the
moon or sun the Malays abstain from
taking food and perform their ablu'
lions, in order that no contagious dis
ease may attack them. Crows are an
i'll omen, and whenever a crow cav
caws near a Malay habitatlon, II
means death to some one OF the IN
mates Supposing Malay walks along
a road and suddenly black cat
crosses before him, he will at once
turn back and walk another path. The
crossing of the black cat signifies dan
ger involving the loss of life.
You seldom see Malays bite the1l
nails, because this action is likely &c
lead the doer into poverty. II Ma
lay sees a pig or Chinese funera
before the sun rises, say at 5.30 a. M
he knows that he is lucky, and what
ever he does on this day he is sure u
meet with success. Dreaming O.
jumping a brooklet assures the dream
er that death will ensue in shor
time, and in this case the unhapp!
man generally distributes aims to th'
moor so that his life may be prolonged
To see a monkey in the morning is al
i'll omen and signifies that the see
