KEEN EDGED SABERS'
UNITED STATES ARMY TO PRoF-. IT BY CONFLICT IN FAR EAST.
Cavalry's Weapon to Be Remodeled, and Sharp Rod Bayonet to Be Replaced by Those with
 Knife Edge.

Military experts of the United States army have been watching with keen in- terest the conflict in the far east and have been quick to note the directions in which improvements can be made in the equipments of our soldiers, and in fighting methods. It has become evident that the hand-to-hand conflicts in the trenches and in the open will decide the battle of the future, and for this reason Secretary of War Taft has just issued an order that blunt sabers of the cavalry should be sharpened to keen edge. An other change which is likely to be made soon is the adoption of the knife bayo- net. This is the oldfashioned attach ment of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, but is more effective than the short rod bay onet of the new army rife recently adopted, and for this reason a great prejudice has developed against the lat ter.
 The army saber has been regarded as an obsolete weapon for the past 20 years or more. Now it is coming to the front again. So useless has it been considered that up to month ago our government had not bought any since the civil war. Secretary Taft has just entered into 2 contract for the purchase of large num- Der of sabers from the Ames Sword company, of Chickopee Falls, Mass An order for several thousand has also been placed with the Springfield arsenal.
 The command to sharpen the edges of the instruments applies to officers as we'll as to enlisted men. The cavalry men will now be drilled with more care in the flourishing of their blades so that they will not be shipping of slices of ears or gouging out their cheeks with careless sweeps.
 Following out instructions from the president. board of special officers is considering the advisability of dropping the rod bayonet that was adopted only a few years ago. This device was one of the developments of the Boer war. That conflict made it appear that the days of hand-to-hand fights between op- posing armies had passed. and that long

 In some sections of the country this insect is so abundant that it would render all of the apples unmarketabls If it were permitted to take its course In the worst infested areas, however, says the Farmers Review, the apple growers are making the hardest, fight against it and are saving from 80 to 90 per cent. of their crops. They would save about all if all the grow CTS of apples would take preventive measures, but some men will do noth- ing. and the insects hatch in their orchards and fly to the orchards Of the men that do protect their trees and 90 work some havoc.
 The insect is not native to this coun- try, but came over 90 long ago that 1t Is difficult to be sure of it's first ad- vent. It was first known in south- eastern Europe. where the apple first established itself as a cultivated fruit. But as the apple was distributed this insect followed it, till now 1t is we'll known and feared in almost every part of the world It is spread with fruit having the worms inside.

WOODLAND.

A distinct novelty in comic opera is promised at Polls this evening when Henry w. Savages latest musical pro- duction, "Woodland," will be given. It is the new piece by Pixley & Luders. Mafo wrote '"1'he Burgomaster." King Dodo." and "The Prince of Pilsen." The characters are all birds and the novel effect which this permits in cos tuning and scenic incidents are said to be striking and pleasing. The ob- ,tect has been to suggest ill the dress ing of the cast the birds represented, rather than to reproduce their actual appearance of them. The eagle is pictured as the king of birds. He brings his son, prince eagle. home to Woodland and offers him the general ship of the royal army and the hand of his cousin, lady hawk. The prince. already in love with lady nightingale. refuses to marry his cousin, rouses the wrath of the old king anu is banished. On the death of the king, the jay -.rd has himself elected to the throne. He makes bad ruler his subjects rebel, and prince eagle is brought back and restored to his rights. marrying lady nightingale. and the jay bird is ban !Shed.
 Mir Savage has gone to great outlay in staging the piece and the company, it is promised. is one of excellence, em- bracing such well-known principals in light opera as Harry Bulger, Frank Doane Stanley H. Forde. Douglas Ruthven. Ida Brooks Hunt Louise Tozier. Helen Hale. Margaret Sayre, Emma Carus, Ida Mule and others to. gether with a large and adequate Sing ing chorus.

THE COOLING MOTH.
Greatest Enemy of the Apple Orchard, and How the Pest Should
 Be Combated

The eater of apples in the winter is familiar with tho work of the codling moth. Every wormy apple is tribute of it's presence in the orchard where the fruit was grown. The codling moth causes more loss to fruit grow CTS in this country than all other in- seqtA put together. Thissss6ng statement. but it is made By our 9ead- ing scientists, and we have no reason to dispute 1t. =. ....-s
 The damage done the fruit crop va ries from 9 per cent. in some years to 50 per cent. in other years. Whom we consider the many millions of bar rels of apples that are required to make up the fruit crop of the country we begin to appreciate what 8 50 per cent. loss means. Is 1t any wonder that the codling moth receives atten- ton at every. convention of horticul-
