STYLES Of visitina Cards.

From Walden's Stationer and Printer,
There are a few changes In visiting cards
from those used last season. but such as
exist must be rigidly observed. Cards
for married women are three inches long
and two inches wide in size, and the board
is gray, white and thin. Those for I'M
married women may be a bit smaller, al
though older unmarried women may use
the same size as that selected by their
married sisters, IL they prefer. Mems
cards are two and seven-eighths inches
long by one and a half inches wide, and
the club address is put in the right hand
lower corner. If a man has no club the
house address may be used.
Good form still demands that the fun
name shall be written out on a card, and
Mrs. j. II. Brown or Mrs. James II.
Brown is not permitted. Mrs. James Henry
Brown is used instead, and on the lower
right hand corner is put the address,
which etiquette DEGREES shall be written IN
full, no numerals being used. For In
stance, a card reads:
Mrs. James Henry Brown.
Seven hundred and two Park avenue.
In case of the address being so long that
it cannot go on one line it reads:
Mrs. James Henry Brown,
One hundred and eighteen
Arlington avenue.
French script, either vertical or slant
ing is dividing honors with shaded old
English lettering, but English script Is al
ways good form and in vogue, because 1t
costs far less than the other two styles.
It is not to be desired, however, when the
newer may be had.
Married women may use cards on which
both the husbands and wife's names are
used, as
Mr.. and Mrs. James Brown Smith.
These are sen. in when a woman is call
ing upon another woman, but never II a
card is TO be sent to the man of the family.
In that case Mrs. Smith sends one Of her
own, and two Of her husbands, one for
her hostess, and the other for the hostess's
husband. Separate cards are still sup
posed to be sent to each member Of a
family for whom one asks, but the custom
has been carried to u an extreme that
rarely more thar two cards are left now,
If there are more than two members
Of the family to be asked for one card Is
bent I'm the middle up and down and one
asks for The Ladies" the bend signifying
that all were asked for.
When 4 wife is leaving her husbands
card for more than one person his is bent
as we'll as hers.
The double cards, or those with Mr.. and
Mrs, are used for the most formal calling
at receptions, and when sending gifts that
come from both.
e best form approves of having the
names of daughters engraved on the
mothers card plate, as:

LILLIAN DOPP.

Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus B. Dopp, of this
city, received word Friday evening that
their daughter, Lillian M, had that
day died at Port Orchard, Wash. The
family had been apprised of her illness
earlier in the week, but on Thursday a
message was received stating that there
was no hope for her recovery and Mr..
Dopp was about ready to go to her bed
side when he received the news of her
death.
Miss Lillian Dopp was well known in
| this city, where she lived for a great
many years prior 10 her departure for
the West. She was born in Neillsville
Feb 2, 1871, and was graduated from
the schools of that village with honors.
Some time later she removed to Wau-
sau and took up the study of stenog-
raphy under direction of Geo. Hart,
in whose Office she remained for five
years. She then accepted a position
with the Wausau Law and Land associa-
ton and later moved to Minneapolis
and then to Seattle. In the latter city
she had prior to her death held an inn
portant position in one of the largest
law offices of the West
Miss Dopp was lady of education,
culture and refinement, and her death
is shock to her parents, brothers and
many friends. Besides her parents, she

A WORD OF ADVICE.

Ifyou would find the paths to health,
seek the advice of reputable physi-
clan, who, through scientific research
and years of experience, can give the
necessary skillful treatment, says DR..
Turbin, the well-known specialist of
Chicago, to the countless thousands of
sufferers in need of medical treatment.
Delay in taking steps to check the
progress of disease, until the system
becomes so depleted as to make the
trouble chronic, places the case beyond
the control of practitioner who has
not made a careful study of modern
methods, or had the experience which
precludes all doubt of his diagnostic
ability and makes him sure of the
method of procedure in each and every
case.
That DR.. Turbin is qualified in every
way to meet these requirements, has
been proven by the way in which he
has won the esteem and confidence of
our people, through the relief he has
afforded so many of our friends and
neighbors.
The remarkable success which has at
tended his monthly visits here can be
attributed to the skillful and conscien-
tious treatment of his patients and a
thorough knowledge of his specialties
in chronic diseases.
Consultation and examination are
free, and these who are in rcod of
medical treatment would do well to call
to see the Doctor when he visits Wau-
sau, Tuesday Aug. 1st, at the Bells
hotel.

THE COTTONY SCALE.

Last week the PMoT published an
article with reference to the parasite
that is attacking the trees at present in
this section and which, if leftalone, will
kill off many of our beautiful trees
Prof. r. b. Johns, in connection, gave
the readers of the PILOT considerable
good information and the same has
produced so much good in the com
munity that we reproduce it and would
suggest to those interested to lay it aside
for future reference. 1t is as follows
DEsCRIPTIoN-The trees are killed
by bugs which gather in countless
numbers on the tree, working their
way through crevices of the bark into
the aew or live bark and drawing the
sap from the tree, which soon destroys
Its life. The old or matured bug is
about one-eighth of an inch in length,
has six legs, is dark colored and has a
fiat body. 1t starts at the body, crawl
ing close to the tree in the crevices of
the bark and fastens cocoons in those,
crevices. These cocoons contain hun
dreds of eggs, which soon hatch out
and the result is that millions of
young bugs are produced, which work
their way up the oree to the younger
branches and begin the work of de-
struction. 1t does not matter what
size the tree may be, none are immune
from the attack of this parasite. ;
REMEDY--If the tree is but slightly
attacked the bugs can be killed by an
application of whale oil, sprayed care
fully in crevices. If the tree is not too
high an ordinary window sprayer can
be used for this purpose. The whale
oil is nothing more than ordinary
machine oil sold at any paint store
and is inexpensive. Most any cheap
oil will answer the purpose.
Another remedy is a spray of an
emulsion of kerosene oil and water,
mixed in the proportions of one-half
pint of kerosene to one gallon of water.
AS water and kerosene will not mix,
soap should first be put in the water
and stirred until suds is obtained,
when the water and oil will emulsify
This should be applied to the tree
with strong spray pump and if the
work is carefully done the scale can
easily be killed.
PREVEETATIvE-On trees not al
ready attacked a preventative measure
may be employed by soaking piece
of burlap or heavy cloth of any kind
iI kerosene oil and tying the same
around the tree near the ground. This
Will prevent the adult bug from crawl
ing up the tree and depositing the
eggs.

cording to the report the tantalite lamp re-
ouires only one-half the current of ordi-

err With the same strength of current the
tantalite lamps give double the light OF the
carbon incandescent lamp, and the light is
much whittier. The lamp is pear-shaped
like the ordinary incandescent lamp. and
the thread has a length OF $3.50 inches and
is 0.197 inch In diameter The lamp can be
