CANADIANS COMPLAIN AT
 LAW ENFORCEMENT
Inspection of Ships for Dutiable Goods at Eagle Causes Vail from Tanana Ship"
 pers-Ofioers Side of Case

dreds of instances could be cited where consular certificates had been given to show that goods shipped to the Ameri- can side were of American origin, and where investigation disclosed them to be of Canadian or British make, The consul at Dawson is not blamed for this, as he never issues a certificate except when protected by the affidavit of the shipper. The latter has not always been as conscientious as as he should be.
 In explanation of the refusal of MT. Andrews to accept any money for duties other than lawful money of the United States, it is pointed out that the law provides that he must pay over to the United States treasury the very money which he collects. If he accepts any, thing else in payment of duty, he and the collector of customs are liable on their official bonds and they will have to stand any losses for discounts, etc,
 Capt. D. H. Jarvis, who is in skagway, says there is no purpose on the part of  his office or any of his deputies to i'm pose any undue hardship on anybody; that the duty is made plain by the law and the regulations and decisions of the treasury department, and that it is their business to perform that duty in a businesslike manner.
 If the Panama business continues to grow as it is expected that it will, a support of entry will probably be es- tablished at Fairbanks or Chenoa and that will obviate the necessity of delay at Eagle. Goods will 5e shipped to Fairbanks and discharged there, after which thly will have to 5s cleared from the customs house. This would permit Canadian bottoms to engage in the Panama trade from Dawson.

LARVAE or borer proper.
3-Section of stem showing work of borer
and how the adult energies.
These larvae grow slowly and are but
partly grown when cold weather comes
on, when they prepare for winter by
retiring to the most protected part Of
their tunnels and surrounding them
selves by chewed-up fibers and other
waste material. In this way they pass
the winter in safety and with the first
warm days of spring they begin active
operations again and soon reach their
full size.
The full grown larva then prepares
to pupate and first eats hole through
the cane, from which the adult moth
may escape. 1t then changes to pupa
and towards the end of May or in June
changes to the adult form, which lays
more eggs, and thus starts again the life
cycle.
A great many ways have been suggest
ed for combating this insect Some of
them are of no value and none of them
is entirely satisfactory. Perhaps the
most effective one is to prune away the
affected canes. From what has been
said of the life history of the borer it
will be seen that before the first of June
all OF the insects are in the canes. either
in the larva or pupa stage. At this time
OF the year, too, these canes show the
results of the borer's work, so that with
little experience it is possible to cut
out all of the canes infested with .borers.
Hence it will be seen that by cutting
out the canes at this time of the wear
the damage may be prevented for the
next season.
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that cutting out the canes does not
Kill the larvae AMI that the canes must
he removed and burned; otherwise
the pupa will change to an adult and
the trouble will be in no way benefit
ed. Therefore, the remedy consists in
cutting away and burning all affected
canes in the spring before the last of
May, when the adult moths emerge

performance are allowed to see one act

in country where most of the plays are
known so we'll that often critical play
goer is only anxious to see how new
actor will interpret some special part OF
the play.
But the thing which amused me most
was the way in which the portion of tbs
stage upon which the actors were stand
ing at the end of some scene suddenly
revolved and new set of actors came
before the audience with fresh back
ground of scenery which looked as if it
had been cut out of cardboard with scis-
sors.
Another amusing thing was the
prompter, whom etiquette demands that
you should not see in Japan, who fol-
lowed the chief actor about enveloped
in black like photographer when he
puts his head under the black cloth OF
his camera The falsetto voice of the
actor, which also belongs to the pro-
scribed etiquette of the drama, when he
has any large part to recite, is always ac.
companied by the hideous twanging OF
the samisen, and as was the custom with
the ancient Greeks, a chorus chants in
monotone to interpret to the audience
the portions omitted from the play OF
merely suggested by the actors.

Do Not Kill the Moles.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs of Is molas
caught in different localities, bn
failed to discover therein the slightest
vestige of plants or roots; on the con.
trary, they were filled by the remains
of earth-worms. Not satisfied by this
fact, he shut up several moles in q
box containing sods of earth, On
which fresh grass was growing, and u

ing but vegetables. In "a hours two
moles died of starvation. Another mai.
uralist calculated that tive moles de-
stroyed 10000 white worms or gruhs
in single year. If this is correct.
it is a strong argument in favor o.

FRUIT AND GARDEN NOTES

Sweet apples are good for cows; not
one should go to waste.
The number of bearing apple trees
In the United States now exceed 300
100000.
Fruit will ripen more rapidly off
than on the tree, says a prominent
grower of apples.
Pears should be stored as soon as
picked, and any delay in this matter
will cause rotting.
The bulk of our apples are produced
in about 16 states, which grow over
lat 900, 900 bushels
Loading peaches into cars before
they have been cooled will bring
them to market in very bad condi-
ton. The fruit should be thoroughly
cooled before being put into the cars.
According to experiment station
work, 100 pounds of fresh apples fed
to farm animals was equivalent to 81
pounds of wheat straw, or 20 pounds
of alfalfa hay, or nine pounds of cot
tonseed meal.

Plant a Few Shade Trees.

Mistakes are often made by not set
ting out shade trees in early life.
Fifty years ago the writer set out
some sugar naples in front of the
dwelling-house. They are now ten
feet higher than the two-story house.
and in the summer it is a great pleas
ure to sit in their shade They also
make the house cooler in hot weather,
and serve as a windbreak Many put
off this duty until old age overtakes
them. When one plants trees of any
kind and reaps the benefit thereof it
seems natural that he should enjoy
it more than if it were some other s
planting. l also did not neglect plant
ing fruit trees of different kinds, and
now my children and grandchildren
enjoy the benefits thereof. Dear read
ers, don't put off this duty until old
age comes creeping ono. w. KEEL

ENEMY OF THE CURRANT.
Iowa Experiment Station Entomolo-
gist Talks About a Pestiferous
Garden Parasite.

One of the worst enemies of the cur
rant and gooseberry with which we have
to deal is the imported stem borer, Sesia
tipuliformis. One reason why the dam
age is so great is that single borer may
destroy an entire cane, and few an en-
tire bush, and all this before we are
aware that any damage has been done.
The adult of this insect, as shown III
the drawing, is wasp-like moth, rather
dark in color and of very beautiful ap-
pearance The females usually lay their
eggs soon after they emerge in the
spring, upon canes about one year old,
and NEST frequently in the angle made
by the leaf and the cane.
These eggs soon hatch and the little
worm or larva eats its way at once to the
center of the cane, where it feeds and
grows well protected from all enemies.

THE NEGLECTED. ORCHARD.
It Is Not Only Source Of Constant
Loss But Also. Breeding Place
for Parasites.

Here and there are stip to be found
neglected orchards, which are almost
always improbable orchards. 1t . Is
the result of the old time conditions.
The old-time farmer would plant an
orchard and then leave it to ITSELF
So little was known about the require
ments of orchard trees that it was
supposed that they would fight their
way forward in spite of any adverse
conditions like an oak tree in the for
est. 1t was believed that neither grass
nor any insects could stop the fruit
fulness of the orchard tree, ana that
no particular care was necessary
That was considered the advantage
that orchard trees lad over other farm
products; they could be set out and
would thenceforth require no further
notice. In time the planter awoke in
surprise to find that very few of his
trees were giving him good returns
lRare and there tree seemed to be
doing exceptionally well, and was load
ed with fruit, at least once in two
years. But the other trees either bore
little, or the fruit produced was so
poor that it could be USED for nothing
but cider. Here and there were trees
that the wind had stripped Of half
their limbs and the bearing wood was
small in quantity. At other places in
the orchard hearts had rotted and the
trees had split in two, leaving perhaps
but one unsightly branch or limb to
bear fruit. Yet for the most part these
unsightly objects were left to stand.
The owner seemed never to think it
necessary to put good trees in their
place.
AS a result we have orchard areas
covered with tree stragglers with
waste patches of ground between and
the whole yielding so little fruit that
the new orchardist in the vicinity is
discouraged about putting out trees.
The old orchard he sees is something
of nightmare, and acts as a damper
on his spirits The orchardist of the
present day refuses to permit tree
to remain that is not of value in the
orchard He digs out the old tree and
plants a new one. If the variety prove
not a desirable one the tree is sent
to the woodpile and better variety
started in the place where the old one
grew.
In the neglected orchard, says Farm
ers' Review, valuable space Is given
to worthless trees. In the modern
orchard every square of space must
give a good account of itself. In the
future there should be no neglected
orchards. We have come to know so
much about what an orchard requires
that there is no excuse if we do not
succeed. And first we have learned
that no orchard can be neglected and
produce fruit in paying quantities.
The orchard is not the pet crop of the
easy-goer The man that owns it must
work it at different times of year.
The ground must be cultivated, the
branches pruned, the foliage sprayed
and new trees substituted for the old
and worthless ones.
The well-handled orchard is always
profitable, but the neglected orchard
almost never so.

A JAPANESE STAGE SCENE.

theater on two planks raised over the
heads of the squatting audience. had
no idea that at this point an act was
finished, or that the 'fiower-walk, as it
is called, was the actors only means of
exit. l imagined it was an idea of his
own to allow the people to see him more
closely and to give them better chance
of pelting him with their offerings OF
tobacco pouches, pipes, poems, and even
flowers and hatpins from the dainty
heads of enraptured mousmees.
During the short interval between the
acts the little children in the audience
got up on the '.fower-walk" and tod
died on to the stage, where they were
greeted with enthusiasm by some of the
actors who were hanging about.
AS everyone knows, Sada Yacco was
the first woman who ever acted with men
in Japan. In taking this brave step she
had to face the scorn and disapproyal of
the women of her own country who had
been taught to look upon acting as a
profession for men only; religious
dances and flower ballets being reserved
for women. Yet, strangely enough, two
women were the founders of the new
japanese drama, comparatively new,
that is to say, for the ancient drama was
entirely devoted to myth illogical and re-
ligious plays, which must, with their
masked actors and choruses, and fall
setto voices, have borne a marked re-
semblance to the plays of the ancient
Greeks. Mr.. Edwards says that the new
national drama began it's career in Japan
about the same time as the national
drama did in England in the year
1875.
To the ordinary person theater
without actresses does not sound very
exciting, but must confess that had
not known that women never acted in
Japan, should not have dreamt that
Mr.. Danjuro, in his magnificent trailing
kimonos of the richest brocades and col
ors, was not an extremely elegant and
feminine woman. His facial express
sion was certainly wonderful, and as
there is very little difference in the
everyday dress worn by men and wom-
en- in Japan, there was none of the awk-
wardness of movement which one so
often sees when a man is acting a wom-
ans part in America. Since the revolu-
ton it is only on the stage in Japan that
one has any chance of seeing the rich
brocades and embroideries which used
to be the envy and pride of the women
at the old Daimio courts; and it is only
on the stage that one can learn anything
of the customs of the old feudal Japan,
the Japan Of the heroes of this Two
Swords, whose children were taught to
make their obeissance before the family
swordrack every night and morning.
AS this article relates to theater- going
1 have not touched upon the fascinating
subject of gheisha-girls or temple
dancers, for the geisha have nothing
whatever to do with the theater, al
though the pretty geisha-girl is the
equivalent in the hearts of the japanese
OF our ballet girl.

with their house servants and babies, or
were being served to tea and cake AND
strengthening foods by walters from
the tea houses near the theater "a jap
anese theater, like a temple, is always
surrounded by tea houses and fairS),
than in following the marvellous acting
and facial expressions of the greatest OF
japanese tragedians.
The house was full of gaily-dressed
mousmees and scarlet obid babies, for
the play was one of the historical dramas
from which youthful Japan imbibes the
heroic spirit of the samurai age; but,
although there was plenty of bloodshed
and realistic horrors in the piece, did
not notice many of the mousmees retir-
ing to the 'tear-room," which is pro-
yided for the use of emotional ladies.
1t was, of course, typical middle-elass
audience, for theater-going in Japan has
always been the favorite amusement of
the people; the great mobiles and families
of the upper classes had classical dramas
performed in their own palaces or
houses Indeed, until lately actors were
looked upon as social outcasts and were
compelled to wear distinctive costume
in public places. 1t is entirely owing to
the present emperor's raising their posi-
ton that to-day the best actors are in
vited to the houses of the broadermin
ed people.
Why the drama in japan became SO
popular with the people it is not difficult
to understand, for duty and passionate
loyalty are the keynotes of the Japanese
plays as they are of japanese sentiment.
Their popularity is undeniable. Mr.. Ed
wards says that an actor like Danjuro
can earn an income of $4,000 year.
