man, turning and looking me squarely
In the face, but they said they seer
two ghosts, one fur the old man, an
one fur the boy, aout under the trees
in front of the haouse right where ole
Carney fell off his boss, Every one
of EN- seen the same thing, an when
nine men agrees to dot OH thing o
this kind it's. pretty hard. even fur a
church member, not to believe it.
They'll all tell We the same story
The boy was a-swayin' back an forth,
Jest as he did after the boss kicked
him, an the ole man kind O. hoverin'
an bendin' over him like he was in
the saddle a-cussin' him again. The
flggers was perfectly plain, all in
white, but them that stayed to look
long enough said We could see the
trunks o the trees an other things
right through 'em, too
81 suppose they all came back to
Hoskins after seeing this wonderful
sight ] remarked.
"Yon bet they did, an they come a.
runnin', too said the man. Il never
seen a scarder lot O men in my life"
MADE pretty good business for Hos
kins that night. eh?'' l ventured.
Wal ] guess it did" he rejoined
with grin. AN it'll keep right on
maxim good business fur him, too!
Them fellers won't git over talkin O.
that fur month o Sundays"
How did they get home that
pight?" l continued persuasively.
His grin broadened as he chuckled.
Them as couldn't walk had to ride
home in this ere rig. Haow I ever
piled so many in is more'n kin tell"
and be laughed immoderately at the
thought.
so when business is good with
Hoskins it's likely to be good with
you, too, eh?'' | went on.
Most ginerally," he replied. Most
ginerally; less Hoskins gifts all their
money fore they're ready fur me an
their credit amt no good"
And when the men aren't working
at CarDey's they spend good deal of
time at Hoskins', don't they?" l asked.
YES, an a good deal O money, too"
he Tejoined. "Ole Carney allus paid
'em well; nobody can't deny that
so it's a good thing for Hoskins
and good thing for you, to get them
away from the place every little
while" suggested warily.
~ s'pose it is, an s'pose We can't
neither of us help it if they want to
leave" he returned sullenly and with
sudden suspicion as he pulled bis
horse up sharply at the station plat
form.
My train arrived in a few moments,
and as / was about to step aboard /
drew the fellow toward me and said
to him in a low tone, that others might
not hear:
The men were quite right about
The ghosts. | saw them myself, from
my window, perfectly distinctly and
exactly as you have described them"
The car was already moving and
swung up on the step and left him
standing bewildered.

When full grown the females form the
white cotton-ike material into an oval
pod-like body and inside it lay a large.
number of eggs. These are pinkish
yellow and each sac contains be-
tween 700 and 500 eggs. The mother
insect, by the time the eggs are laid,
is little more than an empty skin
which may sometimes be found at the
end of the sac. The cottony grass
scale passes the winter in the egg con-
dition inside the closely felted cot
tony sacs, and the insects generally

Labor Of the Novelist.

The way of the novelist must be
hard" said librarian of an uptown
branch. THE other day an immacu-
lately gotten up individual came into
the library and announced that he
was a writer with specially OF dia-
lect stories. We got him several books
that he asked for. and little by little
he took me into his confidence. I
want the Scotch dialect for the stern
father he explained; then when I've
got enough OF that / want some dia-
lect for sea captain, and then | want

the highest quality of fruit growers
must take measures to protect their
orchards from all pests.
There are generally two broods OF
larvae, or worms, of the codling moth.
The eggs producing the first brood are
generally laid, according to some OBJ
servers, on the leaves. Later in the
season the moth lays her eggs more
promiscuousIy on fruit and leaves.
There seems to be some precaution
on the part Of the moth in not laying
her eggs on the young fruit AS
can easily be seen young apples are
covered with fine hair. and as these
are later lost by the apple the eggs

The codling moth deserves first at

of our orchard pests. The apple

bloom, for which reason it is called
Leneopsis. As the cottOny grass
scale passes the winter in the egg
state upon old grass close to the
ground, and does not attack many
kinds of grasses and, as far as we
know, no other kinds of plants, the
remedy is simple one, and consists
of burning over the meadows and
pastures late in autumn, or before
growth begins in spring. If this is in
convenient, close feeding in late sum
mer or early spring would probably
answer the same purpose.
