Ellen Terry as a Housekeeper.


My Children and l." the third in
stalment of Ellen Terry's Memoirs in
the october McClure's, is a delightful
pot -pourri of housekeeping expert

humors of the stage. At the age of 81,
Miss Terry suddenly disappeared from

dead body of young woman, very fair
and slight and tall. Every one thought
it was my body. 1 had gone away

body, and Bloss and Marions at their
boarding school were put into mourn

By TROY ALLISON.

The young rector of st. Johns ad-
justed the student lamp until it threw
a mellow light on the library table and
then pulled down the window shades.
He had just settled himself comfort
ably in the Morris chair when the bell
rang.
In q mere man of the world the
slight elevation of the eyebrows pro
duced by the sound of the bell would
have been interpreted as despair or
disgust at the interruption, but the
Rev. John Courtney's only attitude to-
ward the rebellion Of the flesh was
that he had spent very busy, trying
day and that even ordained flesh
Graves rest and solitude occasionally.
''You, Miss Manningr he exclaimed
In surprise as the girl was ushered in
by the rector's housekeeper.
Marion Manning sat down in the
armchair indicated and was silent
from the moments embarrassment
81 came to ask your advice, Mr..
Courtney. I'm In trouble" she said
finally.
The rector wondered what could
hare happened IL the quiet town to
have brought such evident consterna-
tion to his young parishioner. Since
his installation as rector of st. Johns,
six months before, he had known the
girl and had become accustomed to
meeting her at every function as the
life and mirth of the occasion. Her
look of woe was entirely unfamiliar
to him.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Marion. What
has happened" he asked, with real
concern.
Nothing has happened, but I've COM
mitted a crime against the govern
ment," she said hopelessly.
'@That sounds very grave"
The rector could not for the life OF
him keep from smiling at the innocent
look Of the self confessed criminal.
The girl spoke with flash of spirit.
''You probably win not smile when l
tell you the whole of it. don't know,
but I think could be imprisoned If IT
were found out"
The rector still had difficulty in pre-
serving a proper amount Of gravity.

he said.
She handed him a long official en-
velope.

DRINK PLENTY
OF GOOD WATER

1.-The people here DO not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed well-known authority. "The
numerous cases of stomach trouble,
kidney and bladder diseases and rheu-
matism are mainly due to the fact that
the drinking of water, natures great
est medicine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with pat
ent medicines and cure-alls; but get
on the water wagon. If you are really
sick, why, of course, take the proper
medicines-plaln common vegetable
treatment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
When requested for such a prescrip-
tion for the cure of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: You
must make the kidneys do their work.
they are the filters of the blood. They
must be made to strain out of the
blood the waste matter and acide that
cause rheumatism; the urine must be
neutralized so 1t will no longer be
source of irritation to the bladder, and
most of all you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This is
the cause of stomach trouble and poor
digestion. For these conditions
would suggest the following prescrip-
tion, which is composed of only vege-
table ingredients, which can be OBJ
tanned from any good prescription
pharmacy. Any one can mix them by
shaking well in a bottle: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce: Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. To
be taken in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime, but don't
forget the water. Drink plenty and
often" This valuable information and
simple prescription should be posted
up in each household and used at the
first sign of an attack of rheumatism,
backache or urinary trouble, no mat
ter how slight.

PEAR BLIGHT AND ITS .
TREATMENT. =

The fact that considerable pear
blight is found in various orchards in
the surrounding country suggests the
advisability of a brief history of the
disease, it's action and manner of at
tack and also a word as to the proper
treatment for it's eradication.
Doctory B. T. Galloway, chief of the
division of vegetable physiology and
pathology of the department of agri-
culture, speaking of this disease says
Pear blight is a contagious bacterial
disease of the pear and allied fruit
trees. 1t attacks and rapidly kills the
blossoms, young fruits and new twig
growths, runs down in the living bark
to the larger limbs and thence to the
trunk
While the bacteria themselves rare
ly kill the leaves, at most only occa-
sionally attacking. the stems and mid
ribs of the younger ones, all the fol-
iage on the blighted branches must, of
course, eventually die. The leaves
usually succumb in from one to two
weeks after the branch on which they
grow is killed, but they remain at
tached and are the most striking and
prominent feature of the disease.
How II Acts.
THE most important parts Of the
| tree killed by the blight are the inner
bark and the canbium layer of the
/ limbs and trunk. OF course, when the
bark of a limb is killed, the whole limb
soon dies, but where the limb is sim
ply grdled by the disease. 1t may send
out leaves again the next season and
then die. All the parts of the tree be-
low the blight are healthy, no more In
jury resulting to the unafrected parts
of the tree than if the blighted parts
had been killed by fire or girdling.
The Cause.
"The blight is caused by a very min
ute microbe of the class bacteria. This
microbe was discovered by Prof T. ].
Burrill in 1879 and is known to science
as bacillus amylovorus.
THE following are the principal
proofs that 1t caused the disease:
l. The microbes are found in inn
| fneHSe numbers III freshly DllRnLSO
twigs.
2. They can be taken from an af-
fected tree and cultivated in pure cul-
lures and in this way can be kept for
months at time.
3. BY inoculating a suitable healthy
tree with these cultures the disease is
produced.
4. In a tree so inoculated the MI
crobes are again found in abundance
Treatment.
The treatment of the disease may be
classed under two heads:
/. Methods which aim to put tht
tree in a condition to resist blight or tc
render it less liable to the disease.

Of the microbe itself which is of frs
Importance, for If carried out fully
there can be no blight.
The methods under sthe first head
must unfortunately, be directed more
or less to checking the growth of the
tree, and, therefore, are undesirable ex'

the blight will eventually get beyond
control of the orchard. Under the heaC

of cultural methods which favor or
hinder pear blight. as the case may be,
the most important are pruning, fer
tilizing, cultivation and irrigation; but
details in regard to these need not be
given here, as the main reliance must
be placed in the only really satisfac-
tory method of controlling the disease
that is the exterminat,o on of the mi
crobes which cause it.
Every particle of blight should be
cut out and burned while the trees are
dormant, not a single active case be-
ing allowed to survive the winter in
the orchard or within half mile or
family, including the apple, the noun
tain ash, service berry and all species
of Cratageus or hawthornes, should
be examined for this purpose. the
blight being the same in all.
Cutting Out Blight.
THE orchardist should not stop
short of absolute destruction of every
case, for a few overlooked may go a
long way toward undoing all his work.
Cutting out the blight may be done at
any time in the winter or spring up to
the period when growth begins.
1.-The best time, however, is undougt-
edly in the fall, when the foliage is
still on the trees, and the contrast be-
tween that on the blightel and that On
the healthy is so great that it is an
easy matter to find all the blight. It
is important to cut blight whenever it
is found, even in the growing season.
At that time of year. however, it can
not be hoped to make much headway
against the blight, as new cases con-
stantly occur which are not sufficiently
developed to be seen when the cutting
is done. In orchards where there are
only a few trees and the owner has
sufficient time to go over them daily
he will be able to save some which
would otherwise be lost. However,
when the trees stop forming new wood,
the campaign should be begun in earn
est.
Examinations for Blight.
"Of course, the greater part of the
blight can be taken out the first time
the trees are gone over. If this should
be in midsummer the trees should be
all again carefully inspected in the
autumn, just before the leaves shed, SC
as to get every case that can be seer
at that time. After this careful watch
should be kept on the trees, and al
least one more careful inspection CIV
en- in the spring before the blossoms
open.
1T would, doubtless, be we'll to lool
the trees over several times during tht
winter, to be certain that the bligh
is completely exterminated. In order
to do the inspecting thoroughly it Il
necessary to go from tree to tree IowI
the row, or, in the case of large trees
to walk up one side of the row arc
down the other, as in simply walking
through the orchard it is Impossible
to be certain that every case of b.igh
has been cut out"
