NEW PEST DISCOVERED.
Destructive Insect Feeds on Bios
SONS of BlaCkberries.
astoria Herald.)

The discovery of a new insect pest
which Is particularly destructive to
blackberries and may prove as high
| ~ dangerous TO other fruits has been
brought to the attention of fruit
inspectors. What the insect is, where
it came from or how it got here, are
mysteries that neither the farmers
nor the fruit inspectors have yet
been able to determine.
The pest was discovered the black.
berry patches near Linnton during
the Towering season of the vines
this year, but as the nature of the
bug was not suspected its presence
was not made known to the authori-
ties in time for them to study its ma
ture.
The farmers who discovered it,
however, say IL attacks the blossom
of the vine, boring into 1t, killing
the fruit in the bloom. In this re-
spect the insect is different from al
most any other fruit pest that the
authorities here have had to deal
with, and for the same reason it is
considered far more dangerous than
others, because of the absolute de-
struction it works.
When the insect, which resembles
the boll weeyel, was first noticed, nc
special attention was paid to it, but
when the blooms began to die and
drop OFF suddenly and the fruit failed
to develop, the ranchers discovered
that the insect was doing the dam
age.
Efforts were made to get rid of the
pest by sprays, but they had no ef-
feet upon the insect. The farmers
found that the only manner in which
they could Kill the bug was to go
through their berry patches and
shake the insects OF into pans of oil.
but this method was not found to be
or effective. A specimen

General Summary.


West OF the Cascade mountains
the weather during the week was dry
and sultry. A few small showers oc-
CURED Thursday and Friday along
the western slope OF the mountains,
but they were not sufficient to extln-
guish the forest fires which were
burning I'm many localities. The
winds we're light. and the smoke
from the forest fires hung like a
pail over the valleys and made the
weather very oppressive. Rain IS
badly needed in all sections west OF
the Cascade mountains to extinguish
the forest fires and TO clear the at
mosphere OF smoke.
East of the Cascade mountains
numerous thunder showers occurred,
and the atmosphere contained but lit
tie smoke. The temperatures aver
aged below normal, and In some of
the higher valleys frosts occurred,
and in the mountains some snow fell.
No damaging winds attended the
thunderstorms and the rainfall, as a
rule, was very light.

An Interesting King.
(Baker Clty Herald. }


Perhaps the most interesting Of
reigning kings is Menellk of Abys
sinia.
He was born in 1912 and claims to
be a descendant of the queen oil
Sheba, whose own son, of the same
name, was reputed to be the son OF
Solomon. This Menelik. although SO
closely connected with the historic
past, is a very progressive man. The
visitor to the capital of what Meme
lik has made a united Abyssinia is
agreeably surprised to find himself
travelling over smooth and we'll con-
structed roads.
The imperial palace occupies the
crest Of a hill and dominates the
whole city. Standing in garden
grounds enclosed by thatched stone
wall, 1t comprises number of build
ings to which access is obtained by
trayersing several court yards and a
spacious campus where Is stationed
the only body of regularly European
trained troops in the Ethiopian
army.
The emperor's thirst of informa-
tion is phenomenal, and his knowl-
edge of other countries Is more con-
siderable than one might imagine
from the meager sources at his dis
posal He can discourse on the
United States recent war with Spain,
and more summarily on the war of
independence with Great Britain.
President Roosevelt he has evil
IDENTIFY learned a good deal about and
seems to be much interested in his
personality. Having heard that the
president is sportsman, he ex-
pressed the hope of seeing him some
day in Ethiopia, inquired his age and
was eager to have the story of his
election narrated.
The empress Taitu rarely or never
assists at the reception of visitors,
unless some public ceremony is in
volved absolutely requiring her pres
ence. She is said to be a woman OF
great force of character and to have
been in her youth of striking beauty.
She Is now AZ years of age, and |
Is the daughter of former Ras of |
Gondar and one of the hereditary |
princesses of the absorbed kingdom |
Of Slemen. the inhabitants OF which |
are reputed for their white skins.
Several times married previously she
became the wife OF Menelik in 1883
They have no children.
Menelik calls himself "the Lion OF |
the Tribe of Judah, the chosen of the
Lord King of Kings OF Ethiopia"

Manifold Uses of Ammonia

pears from the jewery.
Whitening mixed with ammonia is an excellent
silver cleaner, and if some of this marvellous
fluid is added to milk, we get not only cleanser,
but a preserver, of linoIeum and cork carpet.
Ammonia may be put to splendid use in the
laundry, and there is no better plan when wash
ing hannels and all wooden garments than to add
some ammonia to the water.
Another valuable property of this popular IL
quid is its magical power of allaying iuAamma-
ton and irritation, caused from the bites of in
seets, for if drop is applied Immediately the eff
feet of even the most poisonous sting win at
once be arrested.
In hot climates, where mosquitoes abound, it
is usual to carry tiny bottle of ammonia in the
pocket, which is fitted with little glass point
on the stopper, and as soon as the enemy has
worked his wicked will the bottle is produced
and drop of the liquid is applied to the spot.
The same beneficial effect is found from treating
the stings of mdges with ammonia, and it is use.

become synonymous terms, and it is because of
this, without doubt that motoring has become
so popular, and can now be engaged in with such
unqualified comfort. Yet, strange to say, the

to them. Start by watching yourself at home
and determining to make unnecessary move
ments. Have you ever watched yourself set a
table or arrange a drapery, little woman? Do
you push plate here and pull it back there
do you pick up fork, lay it down. take it UP
again and change its position immaterial half
inch or so? Do you make move though to
shift the sugar bowl or juggle the cream pitcher
with the butter dish and then change your mind?
Or do you pull a curtain here, pat it there and
then undo the work, starting all over again with
uncertain movements which accomplish nothing,
before going straight at the work in a business
like manner?
If you do any of these you are fdgeting and
firing yourself unnecessarily Besides, you are
trying the nerves of all who are obliged to watch
you and you are building up tiredness which
will make you cross and cranky for apparently
no reason whatever.
And now for that tap, tap, tap Of the foot
That irritating little patter or sliding forward
and back. How many hostesses spoil the gracious
ness of their conversation by this little exhibition
OF disease! How many guests try the nerves of
their hostess by the same manifestation?
Actually there are women, many of them who
punctuate every remark with tap, tap, tap of
the foot or a shuttle forward and back Watch
yourself and stop that "wiggle," it's unpleasant
word to acknowledge, but it often spoils dig
nifed and reposefu calm
Contrast the woman who fdgets while she
talks or listens with one who leans respectfully
back in her chair to converse or to nod approval
at your remarks and you will soon determine
to acquire the charm of the reposeful woman,
to Danish the fdgets and to let your body express
thought instead of making it machine of sense
less and wearing action.
When the hands are moved let the gesture be
to some purpose; let it aid in the telling
of the story or in the expressions of sym
pathy, do not let them wander aimlessly
to and fro, tanning the air or making little
meaningless jobs at nothing. What is more ex-
pressive than forceful gesture of hands well
under control; what is more attractive than
animation exhibited in this manner? What is
more dstracting than the nervous twitching of
the fingers so often seen?
And all those little unnecessary movements are
fatguing. They are some OF the reasons why
women age much quickly than men
Practice repose of mind, that will bring repose
OF body, and you will be about as near the foun-
tain of youth one can hope to get in this age of
hustle and hustle. Besides that you will acquire
a charm unattainable in any other way.

Bracing the Nerves

national cure, but experts tell us that
this is the least successful. II acts as
tonic, but the reaction is very harmful Perhaps
the best "bracer" for tired nerves is cold water.
Russians make the most use OF this cure. The
face is splashed in cold water and the hands held
in it for four or five minutes. Then half glass
of pure fresh water is taken. The Japanese find
very hot milk slipped slowly, very beneficial and
this, by the way, is strongly recommended by
many medical men in this country Many French
doctors advise patients who are suffering from

enauHeur was something Ike the hero OF the

ture was the keen interest displayed in motors
by women and the number of novelties in connec-
ton with motoring that specially concern women.
There can be no doubt that it is to the fair sex
that the motor owes its great and ever-increasng
popularity. A woman is far greater slave to
automobilism than a man; few women are happy
nowadays unless they possess some kind of motor
vehicle, and in this direction increase of appetite
surely grows on and on, for having once
become possessed of motor, what woman does
not instantly cast envious eyes on something
