wrongly Named Pests.

The origin of the so called San Jose
scale Is not certainly known, but it is
reasonably sure that 1t was brought
from China about 1870 on some plants
imported by James Lick and placed on
his property in the Santa Clara valley.
By 1880 it had come to be recognized
as a serious pest and in that year was
found near San Jose and described by
Professor Comstock, who named II
Aspidiotus perniciosus." That name
being too hard for most of US, the pest
has become known the world over as
the San Jose scale from the place
where 1t was first found by Professor
Comstock. very much to the disgust Of
the people Of that city and vicinity,
who do not suffer from 1t In any appre-
ciable degree.-San Francisco Chroni-

Bean OF Fort sheridan.

Once a man who had the reputation
Of never having been beaten for the
position of orderly came from another
regiment. Private Haarscher and the
newcomer, as luck would have it, were
detailed for guard the same day. The
whole garrison turned out to see which
one the adjutant would pick for the
coveted place. To all outward signs
there was no difference in the neatness
and soldierly appearance of the two
men.
The officer spent about twenty min
utes examining the rifles, belts, car
fridge boxes and brasses of the two
soldiers. There was absolutely nothing
to choose between them in point of
neatness of appearance. Finally, as a
last resort, the adjutant unbuttoned
the blouse of the new claimant for or
derby honors. He found a somewhat
faded but absolutely clean undershirt

undid three buttons of his blouse

Apprenticeship.

The disrepute into which apprentice

The domestic servant, called a mental

reproach. Indeed. as in the case or

tice was very often the younger son

law made later on and existing into

dislike to apprenticeship. - London

wounded is enormous. Surgeons have

A few instances of the excuses
were the bestiality and brutality with
which the victims of the massacre
were treated. Some of the corpses
were mere masses of pulped flesh, the
wounded in some cases having scarce.

The members of the commission of

streets the people call down blessings
