When the mixture Is properly emulsi-
fed II will appear like cream. When
you wish TO use the emulsion dilute 1t
with ~ to 20 parts Of water to one Of
the emulsion. Another way to make
kerosene emulsion is to use one gallon
of sour milk to two gallons of kero-
sene This need not be heated but
merely stirred thoroughly as IN making
the soap emulsion. Diluts in the same
manner. The milk-kerosene emulsion
will not keep long but should be used
the same day 1t is prepared. The soap
kerosene emulsion will keep indef1-
nitely.
+
In applying the emulsion be sure to
reach all the insects on the leaves for
only those covered with the mixture
will be killed. AS the leaves often curl
up as the result of the attacks of the
insects, it is sometimes difficult to
cover all Of them. The green aphis
winters over on the limbs Of the APP
pie trees in the egg stage, which can
often be seen in great numbers along
the young thrifty twigs. One way to
get rid of these eggs Is to rub the
limbs thoroughly with a gloved hand.
If there are many trees, and especially
large trees, this is difficult way to
destroy them. If the eggs are covered
with the lime-sulphur wash or with
crude kerosene during the dormant
season they are rendered infortile and
will not hatch out. It requires thor
ough work to reach all the eggs. If
few eggs escape they will soon replen-
ish the crop and they will be abundant
before the season is over. The green
aphis does not lay eggs in the early
part of the season, but produces it's
young alive at the rate OF several each
day. All these are females and COM
mence producing other young ones In
few days. The males do not appear
till the latter part Of the summer and
then following their appearance the fe-
males begin to lay eggs which go
through the winter and hatch out the
next spring.

but higher and lower much wider,
and meanders in different directions.
Maryland on the opposite side OF h
River, is ~variegated and in high Gull

there are sections of semi-c1rcular
collonades to o~uthouses, from whence
a street is formed on each side at
right angles above 200 feet long in
which are sundry houses for dome
sticks, Tradesmen, Workshops, &c.
Before the front of the house (Which
has a cupola in the centre) there are
lawns, surrounded with gravel walks

In the Writings of George Wash
ington" by Sparks (Vol. TX, page
281) there is a letter from Washing
ton dated Mount Vernon, IL Novem-
Der, 1897, in which he indicates an
error in the planyas follows:
''The letter without date, with
which you were pleased to honor me,
accompanied by a plan of this seat,
came to my hands by the last post.
For both 1 pray you to accept my
hearty and sincere thanks. The plan
describes with accuracy the houses,
walks and shrubs, except in the front
of the lawn, west of the courtyard.
(The bottom of the plan Is West).
There the plan differs from the origi-
nal. In the former you have closed
the prospect with trees along the
walk to the gate; whereas In the
latter the trees terminate with two
mounds of earth, n on each SIDE,
on which grow weeping WILLOWS,
leaving an open and full view OF the
distant woods. The mounds are Sixty
wards apart. 1 mention this. because
it is the only departure from the
original."-The Century.

a brown dress and a speckled apron
when receiving ~fastidious and ele-
CANT visitors at Morristown. 1t was
said afterward that she acquired her
~inveterate habit of knitting in her
zeal at Valley Forge to relieve the
ba~re-footed men around her. On
every fair day she might be seen
walking through the rude streets of
the town of huts with a basket in
her hand. Entering the hut of a
sergeant, she found him dying on q
pallet of straw, his wife beside hi;.i
in the anguish of final separation.
She ministered to his comfort with
food prepared by her own hands.
Then kneeIing she earnestly prayed

with her sweet and solemn voice
for the stricken couple. All day long
she was busy with these errands Of
grace, or in the kitchen at the stone
house, or in urging other women to
lend a helping hand. And when she
passed along the lines OF the troops
she would sometimes hear. the fer
vent cry Of God bless Lady Wash
ington!' or Long live Lady Wash
ington!'' Well. indeed, might the men
feel that they could fight to their
very last drop of blood with a COM
mander whose wife, who was former
~ the belle and leader of her set

ginia, was not ashamed to be e

A GEORGE WASHINGTON TEXT

The life of so many-sided a man
as Washington furnishes all varieties
of texts for anniversary orators.
Texts for war and peace, for COM
MERGE and industry, for moral re-
proof, for every contingency which
arises.
Perhaps as appropriate a text as
could be desired is to be found in a
letter written by Washington to
Hamilton in which he said that OF
all possible distinctions he valued
highest that most enviable Of titles,
an honest man."
This was the opinion, confirmed
by years CT experience, of the man
who as a boy had learned the moral
precept, Labor to keep alive In
your heart that little spark of divine
fire called conscience" In the year
that has passed since last Washing
tons Birthday the Significance and
Importance of this sentiment have
been sufficiently eemphasized.-NeW
