6ROWN-TAIL MOTH IN CANADA
Reaches Nova Scotia Through Chan
mel of Traffic from Boston.

The brown-tail moth, which has
been the cause of such enormous
losses in the United States and in
Europe. has at length invaded Can
ada, according to the New York
World. The present season will wit
ness the beginning of an active war
fare similar to that which has been
waged against the pest in Massachu-
sets for more than five years past
Recently one of the winter nests of
the moth, filled with the living cater
pillars, was sent from Nova Scotia,
where the insect has gained its foot
ing, to DR.. Fletcher, the dominion en-
tomologist, at Ottawa, who identified
them as being the dreaded brown-tail
moth. With the exception Of the San
Jose scale there are no two insects,
says DR.. Fletcher, which have attract
ed so much public attention, nor with
regard to which so much money has
been spent by the state and federal
governments Of the United States
than the gypsy moth and the brown
tail moth. Both of these pests have
been introduced into America from
Europe, and millions of dollars have
already been expended in the battle
against them In Massachusetts and
the adjoining states.
The perfectly developed brown-tail
in Nova Scotia was brought there d.
rect from Massachusetts through the
marine traffic regularly plying be-
tween Boston and that province. This
would not necessarily show that the
insect had permanently established
itself in this country, to which 1t has
hitherto been a stranger. The occur
renee, however, of the young cater
pillars is a more serious matter, and
unless promptly and effectively com
bated will soon become public ca
lamity.

his students the patients in the asy,
lum, this man suffers from delirium
tremens. He is a musician. II is well
known that blowing a brass instru-

such a way as to create a great thirst
which has to be allayed by persistent
indulgence in strong drink Hence

Turning to the patient, the profes
sor asked:
What instrument do you blown

PLEA FOR sELF-RELIANcE.
Charles q. Dawes Good Advice to
Young Men In Business.

This is hard world in business. 1t
always has been and always will be.
There are many good and generous
men in it. There are many who will
lend helping hand to you in your ad-
versity. but in the time of need you
will not find them among the men
who tried to get you to embark in
speculation with your little surplus,
and to sell you something which
would help you to easy money" Be
self-reliant Make your own investi-
cation. into Investments. When you
cannot, put your money in a good
savings bank Distrust the financial
demagogues as you .distrust the 20.

Yes. truly"
She put her foot on the seat of 4
chair. and bent over to fasten the silk
en- sandal ribbon about her ankle She
was all silk and gauze. all youth and
grace, like a fairy.
Il had my costume weighed last
night" she said as she rose, smiling
and painting slightly. "These"-she
touched her tights of pale blue silk

Very true, but"
The tightening OF the hand upon his
throat stopped his speech. He was
conscious that on the street far away
footsteps were echoing They grew
louder. they came opposite the door
seemed to hesitate for a moment. and
then passed on and faded away I'm
the silence.
MY God, sport" said the burglar.
"yeh're all over cold sweat"
A weak smile twitched the mans
lips and he sighed with relief.
The old blokie'l be here soon.
though" said the man in the mask.
He won't stay down at that Office of
his all night
You're right, my friend"
Mighty chummy, eh?"
What will you take to let me go?
You may name almost any sum-"
Yes, kin name almost any sum
all right, but the fingerin' of it might
come a little harder. Say, what's
yer graft?"
1T will pay you to let me go. You
may come with me, or take me any,
where you will, and keep me prison
er until you receive the price of your
services. Decide for yourself how it
is to be managed. I shall agree to it
beforehand. Only let nae get out Of
here, and get out yourself. before 1t
is too late"
For some time the burglar made no
reply; then he asked:
"Hcw's a thousand, fer de price?"
All right"
I'm goin' to make a light now, an
unite yer arms; but IL yeh give me
de double cross I'll get yeh. if it's
me last act Understand"
Yes"
When the mans hands were free
he got upon his feet. The burglar
gathered up bag of tools and handed
it to him:
Stick it under yer coat; I'll manage
what little swag I've got myself It's
the back way out, through the base
ment window"
Noiselessly the two slipped out Of
the hall and across the wide dining
room. When they were in the mid
die of it, the place was suddenly flood
ed with light, and low command
rang out:
Hands up"
They wheeled, to confront two uni
formed men. who had covered them
with revolvers.
Now" said one officer to the other,
you come with us as far as the cor
ner, and We'll wait for the roundsman.
Then you come back here and wake
up the house and have them see
what's missing. / knew this young
man was here, but I didn't count on
two birds, and one of them a king
crook, by the looks OF him. Yegg
man, what are you doing here, trying
to pull of house job? What's your
manner"
Bart Syler; you know well enough,
damn you"
Exactly; Bart Syler, alias Salty,
alias the Model. Who's your pal?"
Ask him yourself"
Il think l don't need to. He looks
to me like Harry Moore, also known
as Gentle Harry. Aren't you. my
mann"
For a moment the man did not re-
ply. His face was deathly white, and
he seemed to have stopped breathing.
Suddenly he burst out:
YES"
You'll get 20 years this time,
Harry. Come along, both of you"
The officers and their prisoners
quietly went out of the house, and
down the silent street.

Korean Students Hard Lines.

Koreans evidently want education.
Recently one of them came up from
the country and after all his money
was gone he found 1t impossible to
stay longer, so he cut his finger and
with~the blood wrote to the minister
of education about his woes. We
think he had better taken a jiggy and
got to work and earn some money,
rather than go about cutting his fin
gers to gain sympathy. If any at
tention were paid to this sort of
stage play you would find Korean
fingers covered with scars of combat.

EUROPE TRYING TO
BUY AMERICAN COAL.
ro-Hungarian Chamber OF Com
mcrce's Order for zoe, 900 Tons
Is Declined.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 25.-Because
of its inability to fill the order, the Phil
adelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company was compelled to decline a
contract for two hundred thousand tons
OF anthracite, the order for which was
rendered by a representative of the
AustrO-Hungarian Chamber of Com
merce. The proposed purchasers were
willing to pay the regular price for
placing the coal on board vessels, either
here or in New York.
Another order for 200, 900 tons of bit
luminous coal, wanted by the Italian
government, is also being offered to the
largest soft coal operators of the Ur i
ted States, with little prospect of its
being taken, because of the great ex-
pense in delivering it to Italian destina-
ton designated. Other foreign orders
have been offered to American opera
tors with lack of success.
BIG FLEETS BURN 1T.
The great demand for coal by foreign
10 10 lne ~
creased amount of coal consumed by the
naval vessels, the number of v hich has
grown rapidly within the last two years.
All native coal is being used for this
purpose, and the supply is not equal TO
the demand. Added to this is the coal
required for other government iHstits.-
lions, as well as for Industrial consump-
ton.
An officer of the Reading company
explained that his company was com
PEELED to decline all such orders bee 4use
of the great demand for al an ~
customers in this country, and because
of the scarcity of labor at the collierie-.
The same conditions confronted every
other anthracite company, as well as
bituminous operators, he said. 1t was
further explained that the shortage of
all grades Of coal is increasing daily.
and many Western railroads are now
much disturbed concerning their sup
plies for the coming winter.
