filled with convalescents returning to
duty. This may be regarded as good
evidence of a large concentration Of
troops at Mukden.
The same correspondent, describing
scenes at Tie pass, notes extraordin'
ary animation there. The great con-
course of visitors there and the fact
that theatrical performances and open
air concerts are of daily occurrence
hardly indicates that the town Is ex-
pecting an immediate attack.
Dispatches from Vladivostok and
Sakhalin make no mention of develop
ments there. The citizens of Vladi.

many are returning from their coun-
try villas.
Renforcements for Japs.
Gen. Sakarhoff has reported to the
general staff, under date Of Sept. II:
"The Manchurian army was no.
where engaged on Sept. 16 and IT..
The arrival of considerable reinforce
ments is noticeable at the advance
posts along the whole of the enemy's
front, and especially near the village
of Bianlupuza, and east of the railway
toward the Yentai mines"
It Is announced from Mukden that
both the Russians and the Japanese
have promised to respect the tombs
and palace there.
Early Developments Expected.
Mukden, Sept. 20.-The armies hav.
ing recovered from the effects OF the
recent fighting before Liao-yang, and
early development Of the situation
may be expected. A mysterious move
ment eastward is on foot on the part
ofsbands of Chinese suitable for mill
tary service. All the leading Chinese
who have aided Russians are leaving
Mukden.
Keep Eyes on Junks.
Shefu, Sept. 20.-Chinese, Russians
and Japanese all agree that the Japan
ese vessels blockading Port Arthur
are paying particular attention to
1unks, which for months past have
been trying to smuggle supplies into
the fortress, and when they are
caught the crews are roughly treated.
The junks generally are sunk and the
men on board taken into Port Dalny.

A LITTLE GIRLS LEGACY.
Short Story from Which May Be
Taken a Wholesome Example
for the Young.

One summer a little girl of five was
sent to visit some cousins of her mother
The cousins were all grown people
none them even young, and they dread
ed the child's visit Not that they an.
ticipated any trouble that she might
make, but they feared that she might be
homesick and lonesome in house sc
strange to all childish ways.
From the first hour, however, relates
Youths Companion, it was evident that
the little maid was the possessor of a
charm that made loneliness an unknown
word. She had the friendly heart
She made friends with every one, from
the minister to the milkman, and being
friends meant of course that she was
deeply interested in everything that any
of these delightful people did.
Most of all, with pretty loyalty that
was irresistible, she was devoted to her
cousins. Day after day through the two
happy months she helped" Cousin
Mary cook delectable dishes, and Cousin
Ellen dust the wonderful things in the
parlor, and Cousin Henry feed the hens
and pick berries.
Long before she left it was an under
stood thing that she was to come back
every summer. 1t was the last thing
they called out to her when they
waved good-by to the sunny little face
at the car window-she was going home
in the conductors care; of course the
conductor was her friend at sight.
They never saw her again. Quite sud.
denly, two months later, the beautiful
little life was ended. That was what
what people said, but those who had
known her knew that that was not true
even down here. This is what one of the
cousins wrote the mother:
I'VE are trying, all of us, not to grieve
because the world seems empty without
Lydia. Her spirit is still with us, touch
ing every common task of every day
There was one sentence that was upon
her lips constantly-it seems to me
can hear her dear voice saying it this
minute-'Can I help thee?' Thee will
understand, Rachel. We are as loving
family as most, think, and We try to
10 our share of helping in the world
But / know that our love is deepened
our desire for service more eager, the
Can l help thee?' oftener in our hearts
because for two months We lived with
thy beautiful child"

FLATHEADED TREE BORER.
q, larva; b. beetle; c, head of male; d. pupa

are probably laid during April and
May. Although eggs are sometimes
deposited by this insect upon healthy.
well-established trees, it evidently
prefers to select sickly or newly
transplanted ones, especially those
whose bark has been injured by eA-
posture to the sun. The eggs hatch
within few days after being depos-
tied. The young larva soon eats
through the bark and proceeds to bore
at some depth beneath the surface,
leaving behind it f1attened channel.
Sometimes a single borer will girdle
a tree and cause it's death. The larva
reaches it's full growth by the end Of
the summer, being then pale-yellow-
ish grub about half an inch long, with
a broad, fiat head. During the winter
1t remains quiescent. The next spring
it bores out nearly through the bark.

pleted in about three weeks. The
beetle then cuts an opening through
the bark and escapes to continue the
work of destruction begun by it's an
cestors. During the warm part OF the
day it may be seen flying about in the
hot sunshine.
There are three ways OF combat
ing the borer: Cd by destroying the
grubs while they are at work in the
tree; (2) by the application of some
substance that will prevent the eggs
being deposited or will destroy the
eggs and newly Matched larvae, and
60 by wrapping the tree with some
thing that will prevent the females
gaining access to the bark. But, by
the best methods known, borers are
difficult insects to combat. The larvae
make their way into the wood so
soon after the eggs are deposited and
keep so completely out of sight as
they work, that they may do much
injury before their presence is sus-
pected, and are difficult to kill when
detected. 1t is case where an ounce
of prevention is most decidedly more
effective and more economical than a
pound of cure.-Arizona Station.

Ton-Dressine for Grass Lands.

Why did top-dressing grass land, so
much talked about 40 years ago, be-
come unpopular? Why not stimulate
the growth of the grass roots already
in the soil, as we'll as to buy grass seed
to make new ones? Two years ago
dug some muck right from the bog
it was muck, not mud-mixed ashes
with it, one bushel of ashes to six
bushels of muck, and spread it on a
plot of ground that was badly run out.
That plot bore a good crop of grass
last year, and this year it looks still
better, while the grass surrounding this
spot is very thin and light This dress
ing may be applied any time after hay
ing or very early in spring. 1t pays

Feeding Cows Before Calving.

In the matter of feeding it should al
ways be liberal for the COW that is soon
coming in. No starving will answer.
The following, from an exchange, are
simply the conclusions of experience
and common sense: "As to her care be-
fore calving. Her food should be some
what reduced in quantity, and of a cool
ing, laxative nature. Roots, silage, al
sslfa hay and shredded corn fodder are
excellent for roughage. Oats, bran or a
little oil meal are good concentrates.
After calving only tepid water should be
given for at least a couple of days. Keep
her in dry warm boxed stall and see
that she gets no sudden chill for several
days"

WOMAN WARNED By DREAM
She obeyed the Admonition and
Saved Herself from Wa

Mrs. F. C. Johnson, living four miles
northwest of Quinlan, Kan, was saved
from drowning through a dream. Sew
eral nights ago she dreamed she had
slipped into the we'll on the place while
attempting to draw water. So impressed
was she with the dream that the next
morning she fastened long rope to a
heavy iron stake, driven deep in the
ground, and threw the loose end Of the
rope into the we'll. She instructed her
little boy, at the same time, to grasp the
rope should he fall into the well.
During the afternoon of the same day
she went to the we'll to draw water, and,
slipping on the wet platform, slid into
the open curb. The well is "a feet deep
and half full of water The plunge took
her away under. but upon coming to the
surface she seized the rope and climbed
out hand over hand, using the side Of the
wall as brace. In relating her expe-
rience. Mrs. Johnson says that all she
could think Of while falling in the well
was that the rope was there.

NOT THE JUDGES INITIALS
Bright British Clerk Puts the c. o. d.
on Glass Decanters Of Law
t. s-a Dispenser.

There is a justice of the supreme court
in Washington whose guests have often
noticed the letters &C o. D." cut in i'm
pressive type upon beautiful set OF
English glass decanters. Now, the judges
family name does not commence with a
3D." and neither did the maiden name OF
Mrs. Judge. This is the simple story
which explains it all, says the New York
Times.
The English do not use the mystic col
location of letters which, to the Anieri-
can, demand cash on delivery of the
goods, and so it was that when the jus-
tees son-in-law. visiting England not
long ago, selected the decanters at q
famous London firm for the Judge. and
added. after giving directions where the
package should be sent: BE sure Won
put on it G. o. d." it came about that
the intelligent British clerk conceived
those letters to be the initials of the gem
tleman for whom the bottles were de-
signed.
