LIVING AMONG THE ALPS.
Objects Of Interest to an English
Traveller Sojourning in a
Mountain Town.

All the world over the Wengern
AID in Switzerland, writes Mr.. Daniel
Rhodes, in "A Pleasure Book OF Grin
delwald," but only a small part OF II
stops longer than a few hours, or one
night at the most. The reasons for this
are obvious after reading the letter OF
a man who was once Obliged to stay at
the Scheidegg for several weeks.
"This is the clearest day of the sea-
SON." he wrote, "and there is so much
noise in and about this hotel that for
the present 1t is quite impossible to
work, or perhaps even to write an H.
telligible letter. The little brass can

the brass band.
1.-THE view is also dlstracting. Every
path to hilltop or glacier is now a wrig-
Cling serpent of human forms; II just
in front of the hotel are crowds more
of all nationalities, taking all kinds OF
f%ruhschoppen and lunches.
There are green-coated Germansarmed
with maps and guide books, who, before
they go down, will know the name OF
every peak, pass and glacier to be seen
from the Lauberhorn top; young, stall
wart German girls with knapsacks on
backs; unkempt Englishwomen on
walking tours, tired in the eyes and
with set teeth; enormous provincial
Frenchmen with khaki knlckerbockers'
baby socks and little tricolor flags; bib
ulous, musical Swiss in great numbers
most of these making much noise.
LESS noisy, perhaps, but triumphant
above all, is the American voice, level
and clear, that leaves nothing to the
imagination.
Telescopes abound. To them are
tied great placards with neatly printed
'Gemsen, Chamois.'

of the hotel, rushing at a telescope, and
calling out: Avalanche! Avalanche!

the winter is passed by the insect be-
meath the scale. The true louise Is a

40 days. These young are very minute,

1t is seen, therefore, from this de-
scription that any application that shall
destroy this pest must be strong enough
to penetrate the scale and kill the occu-
pant. The caustic properties of the lime,
sulphur and salt wash are able to do this
and are entirely non-injurious to the
tree. In fact, so useful is this spray as a
fungicide in addition to It's insecticidal
properties that some orchardists are so
enthusiastic over its use tina. they arc
ready to declare the San Jose scale a ben

tons that must be checked if the tree
is not killed many injurious fungi are
destroyed that would otherwise be over.

Origin of the Muf.

The muff when first introduced was
the exclusive property of the nobility
and originated in Venice, These muff;
we're very small, and consisted of {
single piece of velvet, brocade or silk
lined with fur, and the openings fas'
tened with rich jewels. Such arrange
ments came in during the early par
of the seventeenth century, but in thu
previous century the ladies frequently
carried a piece of rich fur, which they
used either as a muff Or a neckpiece.

Destruction Of Cut Worms.

Some insects that cannot be reached
by direct applications to their food
plants may be reached indirectly. Cut
worms, for instance, are unusually fond
of bran, preferring it to their normal
green food. Mix up thoroughly one
pound of paris green or white arsenic
with SO pounds of bran; moisten with
sugar water until 1t forms a mush that
can be ladled out without dripping. A
spoonful to a hill will protect any kind
of plants growing in or on 1t, and will
clear a field of the worms in 4S hours.
The sugar water is not absolutely neces-
sary, but serves to hold the bran to-
gether and to keep it attractive for a
longer time. Chickens should be kept
out of fields where this mixture is used
and this warning applies to other stock
as well.-Prairie Farmer.

A sheep should never be caught by its
wool. This method not only causes the
animal unnecessary pain, but in the case
of fat sheep that are to be killed, it does
much harm to the joint of mutton that
lies underneath where the wool was
pulled. 1t causes a dark bruise just in
the same manner as our bodies become
discolored from being bruised. The
proper way to catch a sheep is TO take it
either by the hind leg, oil just above the
gambrel joint or by putting the hand un-
derneath its jaw or neck. In using a
crook it is important that the sheep are
not caught below She gambrel Joint, as
injury to the leg Is liable to result from
this,
