4 NEJY SUG c ESTYON,

The gypsy moth business in Massa- chusetts is becoming interesting to Connecticut and other New England States. The signs are that unless Massachusetts can extirpate the pest other States will soon have to join the fight and use much science and many appropriations. Those who are fighting the moths in Massachusetts are some- what discouraged, but they need not be, if John M. Kullmer is right. Mr. KulI- mer thinks that few hundred dollars would do the work. He explains that the parasites of all moths and butter flies are the ichneumor flies. an ex- ceedingly numerous family of many thousand species. While in the larvaI stage these minute flies subsist on the

 larvae of other insects, multiplying with marvellous rapidity where cater pillars are abundant. Each kind of caterpillar is likely to have its special enemy in some distinct species of ich- neumon. The moth is attacked not only in the caterpillar stage; there are cer- tain species of iehneumon that lay their eggs in the eggs of moths, and do im- mense service in that way. All that needs to be done, Mir. Kullmer main- tains, is to import from parts of Europe where the gypsy moth is at home few dozen egg-clusters and a few dozen chrysalides of that insect. These should be carefully watched when received. From these a certain proportion of ichneum0ns would be likely to develop some parasites of the egg stage, oth- CTS of the caterpillar. The moths that develop should, of course, be carefully destroyed. But the ichneumons should be distributed in infested districts. The work of extirpation. thus set under way would be likely to progress very rapidly until the pest was checked. Mir. Kull- mer suggests that some public-spirited citizen of means might easily make such benefit possible.
 As the fight against the gypsy moth lin Massachusetts has already cost a great deal of money and has not been effective. MT. Kullrner's simple and i'm expensive plan is perhaps worth a trial. 5E"..s

NPE.LLINa.

There are still people who can and will spell, in spite of the general disre- pute into which spelling seems to have fallen. Lancaster, Missouri, is little town, but the champion speller of the world lives there. His name is Jones, and by popular exclamation he has been awarded the title of professor. Professor Jones absolutely refuses to spell against anyone for money, as he objects to gambling over the matter of education. At the end of any contest the conditions state that the one miss ing the greater number of words Is to be declared the loser, and must write an acknowledgment of his defeat on the dictionary he presents to the win ner., Regarding the art of spelling Pro- lessor Jones says: The ability to spell carries with it an aptitude for good dic- tion and conversation. The earnest stu dent of the dictionary becomes acz quainted with the meaning of words while he is learning how to spell them correctly, and in his talk his choice of words is better than he who regards good spelling as rlon-essential. The speller has larger storehouse to draw on when confronted with the necessi- ties of composition or polite conversa- ton. Another thing: The orthograph- ical artist is rarely addicted to slang. He doesn't have to use it to make him. self understood, as some defenders of the practice say is necessary. His lan- guage is pure and direct. And he pro- nounces all his words clearly, instead of leaving off the prefixes and suffixes. Short as life is, there is plenty of time to pronounce the Ting" if what you say is worth considering.
 These are pretty good reasons for paying attention to spelling, much bet ter than some of the reasons put for
 ward for not paying attention to it.

REAL REFoRM KALAMAzoO.

Kalamazoo. Michigan, is bound to be celebrated, anyway, on account of its name. but it has other merit that en- titles it to celebration. It has women, high-minded women that are even su- perior to the high-minded men of Kal- amazoo, who raise such good celery, but are too busy to Keep the streets clean. The high-minded women of Kalamazoo got tired of bringing home so many microbes on their clothes, and so they got from the health department the privilege of keeping six and half blocks of Main street well cleaned for three months. It was stipulated that the city pay them sum equal to what was usually expended and provide the appliances customary for such work. The women adopted colenel Warnings system, secured the cooperation Of abutting property owners and tenants, and caused ordinances long in abeyanee to be enforced. The experiment was so that the local authorities agreed to continue the work in the same effective manner.
 Now that the women of Kalamazoo have shown the men how to do it, it lis to be hoped that the men will take hold as they ought to. Though she follows yet she leads him." and he is foolish if he isn't willing and eager to be led.

pr. R. Conner gives an interesting account of the unique art school estab- lished at Worth by Heinrich Zugel, the most famous of German painters of an- ilnals, particularly sheep. Four months every year he remains with his pupils in this town, the surroundings of which offer picturesque backgrounds for the animal pictures. The peasants earn many penny lending their cows and sheep as models, taking care to breed the kinds particularly admired by their visitors. There is a regular price list for the use of these animals, which is nailed on the walls of local tavern. Here Zugel likes to meet his pupils in the evening and over glass of beer tell of the time when he. like Giotto and Segantini, tended his fathers sheep.

Though the Emperor of Japan is in excellent health, he is always attended by physicians. There are four eminent medical gentlemen attached to the im- perial household, one of whom is within call at all times, night and day. His nlajesty's pulse and temperature are taken four times every twenty-four hours in the presence of two of the doctors when they relieve each other of duty, and the results are carefully re- corded, just as if he were patient in a hospital. The prince imperial and his baby sons are subject to similar med ical surveillance. He has two, and they have two physicians always in attend ance, and log book is kept of their physical condition like that of the Mi- kado. The little princes are now at Myanoshita, a favorite resort of the mountains, with their guardians, doc- tors, nurses and other attendants, mak-

Lord and Lady Roberts are to go to South Africa this fall, one of the prim- ary objects of their journey beingsto visit the grave of their only son who was killed in Natal during the Boer war and buried on the battlefield. His death was due to an act of bravery, such as led many English officers to death, and, perhaps gain the Victoria cross, which has cost the lives Of so many British officers. Lieutenant Rob- erts fell while trying to save some guns which Butler had lost in one of his many defeats. The young man never knew that he had won the coveted Eng fish honor, but Queen Victoria gave the simple little cross to his mother with her own hands.

Explained.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-For the first
time in many years the treasury finds
itself without any gold coin in Its
vaults. 1t is explained this condition
is the result OF the unprecedented de-
mand for gold certificates during the
time wi,en the mints have been fully
employed in coming Philippine silver
and subsidiary silver for the United
States. The increased demand for
gold certificates which could only be
issued for gold coin In the treasury,
came out thru the needs of the larger
banking institutions in the great COM
mercial centers which had large
amounts of notes Of small denomina-
tions on hand. which they wished to
exchange for gold certificates OF large
denominations. The secretary has
given instructions for mints at Phila-
delphia and San Francisco to begin the
coinage OF double eagles on February
1, and TO work overtime until a suffi-
clent supply has been coined to meet
