San Jose Scale.

No insect infestation has been SO
generally disastrous or aroused such
universal attention as the little scale
covered louise known as the San Jose
or Pernicious scale. More permanent
destruction of orchards, and a great
er loss to orchardists have been caus-
ed by this insect than any other. The
warfare against it has required the
combined energy of state and national
governments, with fruit growers and
park superintendent, horticultural
and kindred societies.
The methods Of control have been
costly and varied. Total extermina-
ton seems impossible. From its won

it has gained entrance, in spite of
the most bitter warfare against it. Its
control by treatment, however, is now
conceded, so that the saving of fruit
and trees need no longer be doubted.
Native to China, the scale was in
troduced into Japan, from where il
was imported by the Spanish mis-
sion, to their grounds in San Jose
county, California, about Is years
ago. 1t was introduced to the east
ern portion of the United States b,
nurserymen of the state of New Jer-
sey, from where, upon nursery stock,
chiefly, it has become pretty generally
/ distributed to every important fruit
section of the United States.

the sap of the tree or the juices of

once located, and if moved they are

The time that the insect is least re-

thoroughly hardened, and summer or

spraying is effective but the scale

A recent letter from friend who
is in business in Pittsburg, writes as
follows: Business of all kinds out
here is on the bum, at present. All
the mills and shops they are paying
their men in what is called clearing
house checks. These checks will not
be cashed in any bank, as they are
good only after they so through what
is called the clearing house in Pitts
burg. 1t is this way: If man works
in the steel mill and makes say $50
month, they do not pay him the 500,
but give him $50 worth of checks,
and the only way he can get his mo-
ney is to deposit these checks in a
bank and leave them there for five
days, and at the expiration of that
time he can go to the bank and get
his money The object of this is OBJ
vious to any sane person. The cap
italists hold the working mans wages
as long as they can and thus use it
to their advantage. Aside from the
clearing house, If you owe person a
bill and write him check on your
self for the amount, he would have to
wait five days before he could get the
check cashed, and persons who have
money in banks cannot withdraw il
without giving the banks five days no
tice." We are pleased to know that
our five banks in Martinsburg are
not SO avaricious or SO hard pushed
for money asNto dishonor our checks
for five days.

AK IN TREASON TRIALS.
Sharp Edge Turned Toward Prisoner
When Sentence Is Pronounced.

Sharp Edge Turned Toward Prisone,
When Sentence is Pronounced.
Every one is aware of the dreadfully
significant part the executioner's ak
plays in trial for high treason. The
sharp symbol of death is carried be-
fore the prisoner, with it's blunt side
turned toward him so long as he has
not been sentenced, says Macmillan's
Magazine, and just before sentence is
pronounced the sharp edge is turned
his way.
Evelyn, who was present at the trial
of Lord Stafford in 1859, tells us that
the ak was turned edgeways to the un-
fortunate nObleman so soon as it was
ascertained that the voting of the
peers went against him, an effective
but CHASTITY piece of stage management
which must have had sickening fas-
cination for the unhappy and probably
innocent man. In those days, now
happily gone by, no one seems to have
reflected on the unnecessary cruelty of
narrowing the feelings of men about to
die by such shocking judicial byplay.
Not every prisoner treated this pure
ly symbolic but otherwise superfluous
and unpleasant ceremony as contemp-
tuously as did Lord Balmerino. When
the three coaches conveyed the Lords
kilmarnock, Balmerino and Cromartie
from the Tower to be sentenced at
Westminster on July %, 1746, a diff
Guilty arose. 1t was not laid down by
prescription or use in which coach. if
there were more than one, the fatal ak
had to be carried. "Oh, put the -
thing in here" cried brave old Bal
merino. II don't care.''
Yet Notwithstanding his contempt
for this horrid symbol, the undaunted
old man cheerfully suffered death for
his attachment to another symbol, the
White cockaGe. But Lord Kilmarnock.
IN the next coach, was dreadfully
as he showed himself to be.
by his thorough realization of what
the awful ak would mean to him. He
inquired minutely into all the details
or an execution, wanted the governor
OF the Tower to tell him whether his
head would roll or rebound. and when
on the scaffold he saw the executioner
dressed in white, with a white apron.
ne whispered to his chaplain, "Home,

REMARKABLE HORSES.
Some Clever Animals and a Wonderful
New England Mao.

In his letters to Lord Granville. pub
llshed by the Royal Philosophical So
clety, who was also greatly interested
IN natural history, Smithson, the
FOUNDER OF the Smithsonian institution
in America, says London Tit-Bits, re-
lates how the horse of Alexander the
Great, Bucephalus, would at night on
nearing blast of the trumpet from
the soldiers on guard showing the an
proach of the enemy, run at great
speed to his masters tent and with his
teeth grab the sleeping monarch and
shake him until he sprang into the sad
die and galloped toward the enemy.
Also that the great Caliph Haroun-
al-Raschid in the eighth century in
marching toward the forces of Queen
Irene of Constantinople always had
a number of trained Arabian horses
(direct descendants of the famous
horses owned by Ishmael 1000 years
ago. thrown forward as scouts. which
from time to time returned to camp
and by peculiar whinny and neigh
reported the proximity of the enemy.
Again, he relates the experiences of
the Portuguese explorer, Albuquerque,
who lived for many years in the six
teenth century on the island Of st.
Helena, where he and the natives
taught the herds of wild horses there
not only to dig potatoes, but to husk
corn, and these horses descended from
herd taken there from Cappadocia
in the second century, as related by
the Greek historian. Philistorgius.
But, to come down to the present
day, it is related by a retired New
England clergyman whose sands Of
life had nearly run out that one day on
leading his horse down through a lane
to brook for a drink the animal sud
denly halted and, turning it's head
around, grabbed up with it's teeth one
Of its hind shoes which had just drop
ped off, and, holding 1t in its mouth
with the nails dangling. it backed up
against stone wall and clapped it on
to its hoof and with a few violent
kicks nailed it on again.
