INDIA'S AWFUL PESTS.

India has insect pests which make
anything of the kind in this country
/ appear trifling.
The tea bush has no less than fouI
destructive enemies from which nc
means of escape has yet been devised
by man. These are the bark eating
borer, the sandwich caterpillar, the
mosquito and the white ant, the mos
quito merely attacking the leaves and
causing a blight. The ants, however
begin at the roots and eat upward
reducing the wood to powder and
leaving only the bark to support the
top, which soon topples over by
reason of its own weight. There is
no wood that resists its attack except
sandal. 1t delights in reducing pine
and white wood to a powder. 1t can
not work in the light, but must get
at the wood from some dark recess
and work within shell.
1t will in some mysterious way
get into veneered or laquered pic
ture frame, and in a short time
nothing will remain but the vener or
lacquer, nothing else being left but a
small portion of the powder, the rest
being consumed or removed.
The method of attack is by emit
ting a kind of acid which destroys
the wood and this ant has been known
to bore holes through the sheet iron
bottoms of trunks. Several long
supporting joists in the Office of
United States Consul w. II Michael,
of Calcutta, were eaten out so COM
pletely that they had to be replaced
with steel ones.
While they do not seem to pos
sess great literary taste they some
times attack books and destroy them
as in the case of book owned by
Mr.. Michael, which had a hole bored
through leaves and cover, from side
to side.
An acquaintance had fine set of
upholstered furniture, which he pro-
tected by some coverings as well as
he could before he went away. He
was absent some months on business
and when he returned he sat down
in chair, which collapsed under
him like a framework of cardboard.

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the unnatural condition of the lives we lead. Headache, backache and general tired condition are prevalent amongst the women of today, and to relieve these conditions women rush to the druggists for a bottle of some preparation supposed to be particular ly for them, and taining-nobody knows what. If they would just get a box of Brandreths Pills, and take them regularly every night for a time, all their trouble would disappear as these pills regulate the organs of the feminine system. The same dose al ways has the same effect, no matter how long they are used.
 Brandreth's pills have been in use for over century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

more can be said of a man against
whom no word of merited criticism
may be, uttered. He may have
had some enemies, most men, who
do the right as they see it, have
them, but no one can say truth
fully that Captain B. T. Morris
lacked any of those qualities which
contribute in the making of a
heightened Christian gentleman.
To know him was to love him and
in his death the family loses a
devoted husband and father, the
church q devoutly consistent mem-
Der, the county one of its most
useful and highly respected citl-
zens, the Hustler an ardent friend
and the democratic party a faith
full and effective worker. Beverly
