aThe Wizard Of o." at the Garrlck.

GARRIoK TREATRE-The theatre
going population of Philadelphia will
again pay homage to that wonder
worker and mirth-maker, "The Wiz
ard of o." at the Garrick Theatre the
coming fortnight. The mighty 'Wiz"
and his long corruscating train of al
lies is the most potent enchanter from
the realms of fairyland that the mod
ern stage can boast. In point of ar
tistic merit and aesthetic beauty it has
not been outstripped by any of the re-
cent musical comedies, while for
originality of humor and novelty of
characterizations, "The Wizard of
Or" must be acclaimed the best speel
men of genuine American extravaganza
that has emanated from American
brains. There are myriads of novel
ties in this enchanting vision of fairy
land. From the rise of the curtain
showing the devastation of the Kansas
farm by the deadly cyclone, to the
sudden transition to dreamland in the
land of Or, the bewitched spectator is
transported through scene after scene,
until finally the radiant vision of the
very heart of "dreamland" is reached,
within whose rosy-hued confines the
fairy tale comes to a fitting end. AS
for Messrs. Montgomery and Stone,
the comedians, who took Philadelphia
by storm last year, just as they did in
New York, no new words of eulogY
are necessary. A battalion of pretty
girls lends the essential feminine
charm to the dozen or more lrridescent
stage pictures. The curtain will rise
promptly at o'clock.

SPRING SPRAYING.
DO Not Let the San Jose and Other
Scales Get Ahead of You.
BY J. ]. BARTON.

BY ]. j. BARTON.
If San Jose scale has not yet invaded
your neighborhood, trust in a kind
providence and make move, good and
hard. to keep it out. If it is already
there. use the same measures, but in
a more superlative degree, if such a
thing there can be. The San Jose
scale or louise, for it is the latter, under
the scale, that does the mischief, is a
sort of little Jap in the world of in
sect pests. Many bigger ones there are,
but few more successful.
How to Know the Scale.
The scale is most easily recognized
in midsummer. when it imparts a sort
of purplish tinge to the bark of the
tree, but it is then very firmly in
trenched and difficult to fight. Take a
microscope to your apple, pear, peach
and plum trees now, just as soon as
you can, especially if they look a bit
rough or scurfy or seemed in any way
unthrifty last season.
a tree when badly infested with the
San Jose scale presents a somewhat
grayish appearance, as if it were coated
with ashes, but the ordinary observers
would hardly notice this or realize its
significance. By carefully scraping the
bark with knife blade little scales Of
various sizes may be found, beneath
which are the soft, jellylike orange
colored insects.
What Shall We Do with It9
Spraying in late winter or early
spring before the buds open is the ac-
cepted remedy. Various solutions are
used. but the boiled lime, salt and sui
phur mixture is perhaps still the cheap
est and safest for the tree.
Owing to the trouble of preparing
that wash, however, the Geneva On. "
station devised self boiling mixture
that has met with much favor. The
formula is as follows: Lime, 80 pounds;
sulphur, Is pounds; caustic soda,
pounds; water, so gallons.
The sulphur is made into a thin
paste with boiling water and poured
over and well distributed through the
lime Additional water is used as need
ed to keep the lime-sulphur material in
a rather stiff paste. AS soon as the
lime is slaked the full amount of caus-
tic sods is added and stirred until boil
ing ceases. Enough water is then
poured in to make fifty gallons of the
wash.

AN OFFENDED BISHOP.

The Way a Fond Mothers Joke on
Her Son Went Astray.
Bishop Maxwell, is it noe2" inquir-
ed Mrs. Spaulding cordially as her
guest came down to breakfast, suit
case in hand. Il feel that l know you
through my son, and was so glad
when he arranged to have you stay
with us on your way through the city.
But what does this luggage mean?
You're going to stay day or SOP"
mo, thank you, Mrs. Spaulding," re-
turned the bishop. Il must go right
on today"
ooh, that makes it doubly unfor-
tunate that had to be away last even
ing. l hope you found my message Of
explanation? The friend l was called
to was very i'll, and 1 felt sure you
would understand, but the fact that
Mr.. Spaulding was out of town, too,
made me regret going especially. I
do hope my maid took care of you
comfortably and that you rested well.
1 thought you must have been weary
when l came in at 10 and found you
had retired
The bishop replied politely, but there
was an odd constraint in his manner
which lasted until he had bowed him
self out of the house after breakfast.
'What can be the matter?" puzzled
Mrs. Spaulding as she watched the
distinguished gentleman stalking down
the street. "Dick was so anxious he
should like usr'
Then a sickening thought struck her,
and she darted up the stairs.
1t had been Mrs. Spaulding's custom
during the boyhood of her only son to
correct his failings by posting about
the house little placards which gently
pleaded with him on the error of his
ways. A week or two earlier, when
Dick was coming home for a college
vacation, she had unearthed some of
these old signs and just for a joke had
pinned them up in his room, like old
times. They had been taken down
later, but she remembered now that,
after being summoned to the sick
friend the morning before, she had led
hNA new anu 1Ol "
Dicks door and had said: 81 want
this room swept and arranged for Bish-
op Maxwell exactly as we did it for
Mr.. Dick last week. Do you under
stand?"
With wings on her feet Mrs. Spauld,
ing flew to the room the bishop had oc
cupied, but at the threshold she paused
and gasped.
On one Of the pillows was staring
notice to this effect: "Please put you
bed airing in the morningP' Over tn,
mirror, ''Please don't spatter the glassP
On the window curtain, "Please dom
throw your shoes on the floor noisilyl'
Everywhere, on pictures and wall
'Please don't leave your coat on
chair. Hang it upp' "Please dom
leave you toothbrush in the bath
roomP' "Please turn off the hot waite
faucetp'
There were at least fifteen of thes
placards, the please underlined thre
or four times in each, but-horror O
horrors--the largest of all was this, o.
the inside Of the door: "If you take
bath please wash out the tub. It's dis
graceful not toT'-Youth's Companion.

Four hundred thousand persons are
expected to witness the inaugura tion
of Theodore Roosevelt as President of
the United States next Saturday
March 4th, in the city of Washington.
Two hundred thousand of these, it is
estimated, will be visitors, and Wash
ington is expected to turn out the
other 200, 900.
This will be the largest crowd which
has ever witnessed such an event
Tangible preparations for the great
event are now in evidence on every
hand in Washington. The great
grand stand across. the front of La
fayette Park, facing the reviewing
stand of the President, is far along in
construction. 1t will seat 5000 per.
sons. The Presidents stand, which
will seat 1000 persons, has been be-
gun. Timbers are being scattered al
along Pennsylvania avenue at points
where room can be found for observa-
tion stands. Windows fronting on the
great thoroughfare are bringing hun
dreds of dollars for a single day.
In the great procession which will
follow President Roosevelt from the
Capitol to the White House on the day
of his Inauguration there will be
about $4,000 persons. Seven thousand
of these will be regular United States
troops, marines, midshipmen from
Annapolis and cadets from West Point.
Fifteen thousand militia will be in
line. The other twelve or fourteen
thousand will consist of political and
civic organizations - rough riders.
-csm mboys, Indians, etc. There will be
bands in plenty, great multitude of
them.

A Difficult Problem Easily Solved.

The perpetual horizon of ones own town is
the prison wall of the mind. .'-Chauncey Depew
LII. D.
One of the most difficult problems
that has come before parents and
teachers for solution is how best to
give their children and scholars prac-
ticable idea of the history and geogra-
ply of the different. countries of the
world. The very wealthy have the
means to take or send their children
abroad for an extended tour through
, many lands, thereby enabling them to
realize history, as it were, by coming
into actual contact with notable and
historic buildings, places and persons;
but with the vast majority this is not
so-both money and time are lacking.
They desire that their children shall
have as good ideas and knowledge as
those who are more fortunately stu
ated. They feel, too, that the knowl-
edge acquired in school has not been
sufficiently impressed upon their minds
to be retained aud used in the most
practical and beneficial manner. The
best and most satisfactory solution of
this perplexing problem lies in the
possession and use of the John l..
Stoddard Travel Lectures of the
World" Ex-President Tenney, au-
thor and educator, has we'll said that
no man has done so much to bring the
education of travel within the reach of
so many millions at so low a cost as
John l.. Stoddard. The history of art,
of architecture, of people and individ
uals; the geography, physical and de.
scriptIve, the religious, civilization
and municipal and government poll
cies are all given and in such an inter
esting manner that it is difficult to sa,
how young child must be not to ge
some real benefit from this work. Witt
every country in the world treated sep
arately in lecture by itself; illustra
ted with 5000 views Of the most i'm
portant subjects Of each country, view
which Professor Stoddard took on th
spot; with the thousands of interest
ing and important facts in the wor
carefully arranged in an index for in
mediate reference, most remarkabl
combination of literature, art and rel
erence presents itself to the intelliger
and thinking public. A work III
equaled of its kind, and 1t surely is
most important kind. 1t brings to ii
child, the student and the gener
mind just what we most desire to kno
about the condition of the world as
is to day, with relation to its indivi
ual countries and particular chara
teristics-adv.

sition from Portland to Boise The
plan involves retention of the present
magnificent building and exhibit a.
Portland intact in the new location

moral support of the state adminisird
ton. To remove the building ana eX-
hibit from Portland is estimated TO
cost in the neighborhoOd of $4,000, in
Guiding the work of rebuilding. This
sum could be easily raised, il is be-
lieyed. by public subscription. Unless
