A Barqain in "Orchids."

A New York woman, who has a
summer home in the Catskills, was
delighted a few days ago when some
of the native children brought her a
flower which appeared to be rare
orchid. She promptly offered the
children three cents apiece for each
plant of the kind that they would
bring her.
Next day the group returned bear
ing 60 plants of the desired variety
The second day the force of small
laborers was augmented by every
child for miles around, bringing in all
three hundred orchids.
The third day farmers who had
been working in the neighborhood
with their teams abandoned all other
occupation for the gathering of or.
chids, with the result that the buyer
had to take $500 of the plants, all OF
the same variety, before she could
call off the contract.
She is now studying ."How to Tell

TRAITOR?
=, Mrs Ackers had risen to her feet
:: and stood beside her chair, trembling
ly. She did not think he would be
quite so seriously offended.
There are some more; I baked
some with pork, too, SO if you
shouldn't like these"
Just at the moment she thought the
storm about to burst over her head,
Mr.. Ackers walked around the table
and took his wife in his arms.
'Lizzie, have petted my taste un-
til I have made fool of it; now I am
going to try petting my wife little:
I reckon my taste is acute enough,
and I rather fatter myself it is of
the right sort, but it needs common
sides ones self to develop taste in the
right direction.
I'VE will have pork or beef or any,
thing you like. If I have grown to
be such an idiot as I have proved my
sself tonight, it is time there was a
change. This isn't the only thing I
have been an idiot about. We will see
if we can't find a girl to help you the
busiest days. Go over and talk with
Mrs. Wells and see how she manages.
I'want a companion as we'll as house
keeper, and I have been fretting be-
cause you were not a better compan-
ion, while all the time my fastidious
taste kept you planning and working
in the kitchen. I wonder if I can
shoulder the blame on the pig I have
eaten"
Mrs. Ackers has many a time con-
graduated herself on the success of
her little experiment, but still more
she blesses kind Mrs. Wells for jog
ging her husbands elbow and pointing
his acute taste in the right direction.

The Voice In the Choir.

=. The voice in the choir seemed to
ascend up and up through the vaulted
ceiling by way of the marble pillars,
like a silver thread. 1t was divine.
She sat enraptured through the ser.

way out. she said to the sexton:
:Do they keep him on ice to pre-.
serve his voice? Do they wrap him in
cotton till he is ready to sing, and
feed him with a spoon?"
::'They do nothing Of the Sort" the
sexton replied. 'They don't take

The first evidence of attack on the
living terminals is the emulation of
fresh, clear and shining drops of
resin. Upon closer examination fresh
pinhole-like punctures are found in the
bark, and at the same time the incon-
spicuous beetles may be found on the
TERMINAL; but upon the approach of
the observer the beetles will often let
go their foothold and fall to the
ground, where they will feign death.
In few days after the first attack
the Injured terminals will have the
resin more or less abundant and con-
spicuous over the greater part of the
surface. The first evidence that the
terminals are infested with larvae is

exercise of the highest logical powers
A woman's genius for detail and hel
habit of perseverance fit her peculiar

manded of the student who is making
historical investigation, with all it,
minute detail, or studying the life anG
habits of some tiny creature in the
world of science. Again, a woman's
sense of proportion and love of beauty
aid her in the work of criticism, where
her daintiness and sureness of touch
are invaluable. There is a wide f1ell
for women as critics, not only in art
music and literature, but also in phil
osophy, social science and political
economy.

Is years ago by Miss Elizabeth Hughes,
and now numbering nearly 100 stu
dents, supplementing the university
course by as scientific and thorough

The development of such a system,
already begun in the United States,
promises to meet need which neither
the normal school nor the college has
met-that is, the demand for teachers
who have thorough academic course
as we'll as the pedagogical training.
This means the rise of another profess
sional school, which will appeal espe-
cially to women, forming so large a
part of the teaching class and which
will incidentally tend to place teach
ing on an equal basis with other pro-
fessions. 1t is a narrow view which
looks upon the opportunities for study
open to women as Of value only in the
preparation for earning a living. In
certain sense the leisure class in
American scholarship is the women
rather than the men and they must
bear large part in the development
of the love of learning and in the en-
richment of the world by the discovery
of its treasures. Scholarship need not
be selfish; rather it should be made
synonymous with service and the
scholar regarded as the public bene-
factor.

will gradually die, the needles turning
yellowish and later brownish.

broods to adults will be Indicated by
the first appearance Of dead tips.
The damage and loss, as affecting
the commercial tree, consists not only
in the death of the terminal shoots,
but in subsequent abnormal develop.
ment of the trees so injured. The
dying of the leading shoot throws the
next years growth into the upper lat.
eral shoots, which results in a forked
and many-branched top. Each branch
produces a vigorous terminal, and all
compete for leadership in forming the
crown. In succeeding years the more
vigorous terminals of the topmost
branches are attacked and killed.

tually preventing the development of
the normal straight trunk and sym.

commercial value
In the successful control Of this
pest, as in the control of forest in.
sects in general, much depends on
special features in the general methods
OF forest management, which will
bring about unfavorable conditions for
injury and thus prevent loss.
1t will also. be seen how important
it is to know the principal facts in re-
gard to the life history and habits of
| the insect, in order to secure the best
results from methods of management
and of direct control.
Heretofore this species has been
confused with another species with
very different habits, and some of the
published data and recommendations
based on such confusions are of no
value.
The only practical method of de-
stroying the weevil appears to be the
treatment of the infested terminals
and to secure the best results special
portant details.
IF the infested terminals are cut or
broken during June and July and
burned, the broods of the weevil will
be effectually destroyed, but vast num-
bers of natural enemies will also be
destroyed. A better method is to- col
lect the terminals during the first halt
of July before the beetles begin to
emerge and to place them in tight bar.
rels securely covered with wire f1v.
screen netting on one or both ends.
The barrels should be left in the
groves, so that the parasites and 9th.
er enemies may escape, while the
beetles perish. After the LIST of DC.
tober the weevils will all be- dead. and.
the netting may then be removed. al.
though the barrels with their contents
should be left until the following June
to allow the escape of the later devel
oping and larger parasites. The bar
rel should not be placed in a position
to collect rain. It is necessary. how.
ever, if this method be adopted, that II
be repeated two or three years in sue,
| cession in the same locality, in order
to catch the successive broods from
the old parent beetles that live over
from preceding years.

These opportunities are supplement-
ed by those which the European uni
versities offer and which give to the
American student the broader culture
which comes from contact with the
old-world civilization, although the
actual academic advantages may be
no greater, and sometimes not as great
as in our own country. There is to-
day wide chance for choice in study
abroad. The classical student feels
that her course is incomplete unless
she has shared in the advantages of
the classical schools at Athens and
Rome; the historian finds her way to
the Sorbonne, as well as to the Ger
man and English universities; the
scientist to Zurich and Naples; the
mathematician to Gottingen. Every
year these opportunities for advanced
work become more accessible as uni
versities, colleges and associations in
