Origin OF "BIuestockings."

Burke, apropos of "Evelina," paid
Fanny Burney this high compliment:
We have had an age for statesmen,
an age for heroes, an age for poets, an
age for artists. but this"-with a gal
liant bow to Fanny-''is the age for
women" The name "bluestocklngs,"
given to these distinguished women.

her Memoirs of Her Father" from an
apology made by Mr.. Stillingfeet in
declining an invitation of Mrs. Nesey's
to literary meeting at her house. Il

1T DRIVES THE ANTS AWAY
Recipe Given by Professor West
Address at Farmers Institute.

To correct an erroneous impression
that might be gathered from the re-
port of the farmers institute last week
it should be stated that the recipe for
an insecticide given by Professor J. A.
West was aimed at the corn root
louise, not the grub. The directions Civ
en- were to use one part of oil of lemon
and nine parts of alcohol, three ounces
to a gallon Of seed corn mixing short
ly before using and applying TO the
corn in the hoppers of the planter. The
oil of lemon, which is the active agent.
does not directly kill the louise, but
drives away the ants that act as nurS'
es for the lice, prOpagating them 70.
the swedish wax that they eXude, and
the destructive insects, left to them
selves. do not become sufficiently mum
erous to do any serious damage.
