SilkWorm Culture.

The Department OF Agriculture at
Washington, ID. c., is investigating
the possibilities Of sikworm cultu re
In the United States. 1t Is hoped that
1t may In time be developed to such
an extent as to prove OF beneht to
those members of families whose time
Is not altogether occupied in other
ways, and also to other persons in
small way as side issue. To persons
wishing to experiment, and who can
furnish proper food for the worms, the
Department Is distributing free of
charge small quantity of silkworm
eggs and also manual of instruc.
tions. The proper food for silkworms
consists Of leaves from the different
varieties Of white mulberry tree and
the Usage orange. The paper mul.
berry with the fuzzy leaves) is not
suitable. nor is the common red mul.
berry. AS the season is now open, ap-
plications for the eggs should be made
at once, and must be accompanied by
a statement as to the number and kind
of mulberry trees or the amount Of
Usage orange which the applicant pos
sesses; otherwise the eggs will not be
sent. If the variety of mulberry Is not
known to the applicant, a sample of
large leaves should be sent to the De.
partment. The Department of Agri
culture buys the cocoons which the
worms spin, paying for them (after
they have been dried (75 cents to 81
a pound, according to their quality
The work will prove an interesting
pastime for women and children who
can devote to it odd minutes during
the day.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Dr.. Hartmann How
TO Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident 10 Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is duo to
an@mic nerve centers. The nerve CEN
ters are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum.
mer an army of invalids are produced as
direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by tho
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve CEN
ters. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life vitality which ere.
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey "a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in
recent letter from 174 Alabama street,
writes: ITO society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the
utmost from lack Of rest and irregular
meals, / know of nothing which IS Of 50
few months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and IL soon made itself
manifest In giving me new strength
and health. ''-Miss BIanche Grey.
Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be pos
sible if Pcruna contained any drugs of
| a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inflammations of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easist and quickest manner.
Perun does this by it's peculiar power
| over all forms of catarrhal troubles. :.

Transplantino Trees and Shrubs at

From Paris comes report that the
gardeners and florists there follow the
practice of transplanting at night
trees that are in full leaf and have to
be transplanted in the spring or sum-
mer. 1t Is claimed that the trees do
not wilt when transplanted at that
time. This may be possible, but we
still believe that the time to trans
plant trees and shrubs is when they
are dormant. In hot weather 1t might

THE COST OF THE WEEvIL.
Eighty per cent. of the cotton crop
Of the world is raised by America, and
Of the cotton raised in the Unil
States Texas produces nearly one-
fourth. All the richest cotton counties
of Texas have been invaded by the
weevil. and the loss in cotton de-
stroyed by its depredations in the past
summer has surely been as great as
$15,OOO,0OO.
Spurred on by the high price Of cot
ton and by the prospective danger Of
a great lessening of the American
crop. foreign nations are making every
effort to raise their own cotton. The
English colonies are particularly ac-
tive, and the German colonies, as we'll.
Russia is also making every effort to
push the growing of cotton within her
territory. Other nations are doing the
same. The trade balance of the entire
world may soon be affected if efficient
remedies for the pest are not discov-
cred and used.

mating quarters in the spring to lay
the eggs for the coming generation. A
single female will have millions Of de-
scendants by autumn, but these mil.
lions are gradually developed. = = :
It was the old custom to pick cotton
in Texas until past Christmas, and in
late autumn the ;weeyils are at their
height in point Of numbers. If plant
ers use Northern cottonseed, the plants
from which develop much more rapid
ly than from Texas seed; if they plant
their rows a little further apart than
has been the custom, if they cultivate
the crop and force it to early maturity,
they will be able to raise good guam
tity Of cotton before the weevils have
BECOME so numerous as to destroy the
great majority Of the bollS
In this way, on experimental plots
aggregating seven or eight hundred
acres, in different parts of. Texas, the
experts Of the Division of Entomology,
Of the Unified States Department Of
Agriculture, have been able to raise
and pick, before the middle Of October,
from two-thirds of a bale to bale an
acre, whereas from crops not thus
planted and treated, only bale from
eight to twelve acres has been secured.
Then, after this amount Of cotton
has been picked, the cotton stalks are
cut down or plowed up, left to lie for
q while until dry, and are then burned.
Very many weevils are destroyed in
this way, The few that escape have
much longer period to wait before the
crop comes up. and many die. The
number which will be found on hand
to attack the cotton on these fields
next year will be vry small. The re-
suit is that more cotton can be raised
year after year.
Thus cotton can be raised in spite
Of the weevil. But the weevil will not
be exterminated; it will probably con-
tinue to spread, and it is altogether
likely that it will invade the other
cotton-growing States.
The work on remedies, however, Is
still going on; the search for parasites
In tropical countries still continues.
Congress will probably appropriate at
this session a large sum Of money to
help in the work, so that, although
the outlook is rather ad. i is by no
r.eans hopeless. and the prospect that
the United States will lose her su-
premacy in cotton production on ac-
count of the weevil is, in my mind, not
greatly to be feared.-Youth's Com
panion.

How They Were Carried Thsc0sh In
dia and Sold TO i Native Prlrce.
The story Of the Servian 5ewels
must recall to the ex-Empress Eu.
genie her own experiences when the
waves first began TO dash about her
throne. She determined to sell the
greater part Of her jewels In hope to
do something to save the dynasty.
Publicity had to be avoided; and
market was not to be found ia Eu-
rope, newly thrilled by the horrors
of Sedan. The Empress looked to
the East for a market.~~An English
man was on his way home Tor a holi-
day. A telegram at Bombay awaited
him from one of the greatest Eure-
pean financial houses and informed
him Of the determination Of the EN-
press. The difficulty had been to find
a man with sufficient influence to be
able to approach the princes f In
dia in secret with q view to selling
them the jewels. Not less hard was
it to lay hands on the man who had
moral strength sufficient to carry with
him surreptitiously hundreds OF thou
sands Of pounds worth Of Jewels In
lands where the Queens writ did not
run, and where the protection Of the
constable is not Immediately avail
able.
Every care had been taken to In
sure secrecy. The jewels had been
taken to pieces; the gems removed
from their settings; the latter
'jointed" to admit Of their holding
and being worn around the waist OF
their bearer in belt Of soft leather.
The Englishman put on the belt,
armed himself with a trusty revolver,
engaged trusty servant, and set
forth on his mission. For three months
he wandered over road, rail and
river. The responsibility Of his
trust, the constant danger Of discoy-
cry, the difficulty Of disposing Of his
burden were worries that combined
almost to kill him. At last he was
successful. The jewels were sold to
a prince who esteemed them the more
,for~that they were the property Of a
distressed Empress. There AwohM
