The roa nun and Tea Mite.

Every animal and plant has It's para
site, and from this general law, 1t
seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague Of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the "tea bug" and
"tea mite" The mites spend their en-
tire lives on the tea plant and are new
er known to attack any other leaf.
They live IN families and societies on
the upper side of the full grown leaf
and spin a delicate web for q shelter.
They then puncture the leaves and
pump out the liquid I'm the plant veins.
They seem to become dainty IN their
tastes. for a sprinklng Of muddy wa.
ter over their floor and tea table is
the only remedy known to check their
ravages. Even this is not always ef
fectual. The tea bug Is still more de.

MAIL-ORDER WAYS
4 BAD ADVERTISEMENT FOR
CATALOGUE HOUSES.
AT SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
Sooner or Later II Teaches Every Mail
Order Patron the Error OF
Sending His Money
from Home.

The methods Of the mail-order
houses are their worst advertisement.
Sooner or later there will come time
In the experience OF every purchaser
of their goods when he will wish he
hadn't done it, when he will wish he
had spent his money with his home
merchants. This is not only because
he will see the ruin wrought in his
own community by the nefarious prac-
tice of sending the money of the COM
munity to the city, but also because of
the practices of the mail order con-
Germs.
The story in the catalogue sounds
well. 1t sounds like you would get
the identical thing you wanted and at
a much lower price than you had i'm
agined it could be bought for. and you
order 1t. The purchase arrives and
when opened you feel that some mis-
take has been made. that the concern
has sent you the wrong goods; it is
not what you ordered.
All. but it is! The difference is be-
tween the way it actually looks and
the way it sounds in the catalogue.
You explain that the goods you re-
ceived is not what you ordered and
ask for an accounting. and are told
that it is you that is in error, that
you got just what you ordered. and
then il you are wise you buy of the

Caution on the part Of the county
commissioners in granting a franchise
for traction line from Richmond to
Hamilton, o., is the proper course, as
there are two companies asking for
such and the one most likely to bring
tangible results should be preferred
By all means care should be taken not
to grant a franchise to a company that
cares for it only as commodity that
can be peddled about to the highest
bidder.

STRIKES IN PROSPECT.

1t is highly probable that all train
men west of Chicago will strike in the
near future as they refuse to agree
to the terms offered by railroad of
ficials and will not under any circum-
stances submit to arbitration on the
subject of wages. The trainmen say
that they must have what they de-
mand or nothing. The railroad Off
Gals have offered the freight trainmen
a general ten per cent increase and
passenger conductors an increase of
SO per month, brakemen and flagmen
So per month and baggagemen So per
month. This is entirely unsatisfac
tory however, according to the state
ments of the trainmen and they will
not accept.

FROM THE EXCHANGES.
Sleepy South and r. E. D.

Georgia and other Southern states
bid fair to lose goodly number of
their rural free delivery mail routes
unless there is an awakening of inter
est in the service to a point that will
justify their retention. Orders have
recently issued from the postoffice de-
partment abandoning several Georgia
routes for no other reason than that
the patrons, as result of their amaZ-
ing Indifference, have made it no
longer worth the while to continue
them.-Atlanta Constitution.

A Word to Advertisers.

Do your own advertising. Make it
study. Study the wants of your
trade. When you get something they
want, let them know you have it. Do
what you say you will and fortune is
yours. Advertising is a study, and if
a man waits until he has purchased
a stock of goods and gets it placed on
the shelves before he thinks about
talking about them to the people, a
schoolboy can predict his cavernous
failure. You cannot succeed on your
reputation as a good writer or book
keeper. You must have other essen
tials, and the chief of these is to be
able to get near to the buyer, and to
inspire in him that confidence which
will induce long-continued good feel
ing, and to this end the newspaper is
yours; and not that only, but the best
agency you can employ.-Eaton Demo
crat.

LOCAL CAR FAMINE.

The number of cars being left in
Richmond in the past two weeks by
the changing of freight consigned to
one point, from a number of cars, has
lessened materially. and according to
the statement of local freight Off
cial Richmond is now suffering a car
famine. Not enough cars can be Sc
cured to properly handle the business
sent out by the large number of Rich
mond manufacturing establishments.
Richmond was considered one OF the
luckiest towns along the entire Penn
sylvania system, for time. because
the shippers had all the cars they
needed at their service, but as the
situation stands at present, it will be
some time before enough cars are
brought here to furnish transporta-
ton to the large shippers. Just as to
how soon the situation would ease up,
the local Official would not state.

This Is Found Necessary at Pennsyl

Owing to the heavy power supply
ed by the new Pennsylvania lighting
plant, located in the local shops,
heavier wires, necessary to carry the
increased voltage, are being placed at
the local station. At the time the
plant was installed, the power being
taken from the Municipal plant, 1t
was found that the wires used in con-
nections made for the later named
concern, were not large enough to ac-
commodate the increased power of the

lating to certain Turkish provinces
recently sent blanks with questions
lating to certain Turkish provinces.
to be answered to the Provincial gov
ernors. The replies received from
the Pasha OF Damascus are worth
quoting:
Question. What is the death rate
in your province?
Answer. In Damascus it is the will
of Allah that all should die. Some die
young and some die old.
O. What is the annual number of
births?
A. God alone can say do not
know, and hesitate to inquire.
@. Are the supplies of water suf-
ficient and of good quality?
A. From the remotest period no
one has died in Damascus of thirst.

ftation: Man should not bother HIM
self or his brother with questions
that concern only God.
