cured a copy of an old bulletin issued in 1903 on The Melon Plant Lousc and the Manteca Disease" IL is pub lished by The Republican for the ben eft O. melon growers as the bulletins in printed form are too scarce for gen eral distribution The bulletin was written by J. J. Thornber and is as follows:
 During the past year the melon plant -louse. which causes the so-called "manteca" disease of the watermelon and other Cucurbitous vines. has been the subject of considerable correspond cncc. In many instances the melon crop has been reduced one-half to two thirds in quantity, besides being great ly impaired in quality. From observa ton and correspondence it appears that this insect prefers watermelon vines to those of other Cucurbits, though if is by no means uncommon on muskmclon, cucumber and squash

Early French Theaters.

The French theater owes it's origin
to the religious exhibitions given by
the pilgrims on their return from
Palestine. At these exhibitions the pill
grims gave an account of the Holy
Land and recited their own adyen-
lures. They were afterward initiated
by those who had never been to the
Holy Land. To these succeeded dra-
matte representations Of subjects tax
en- from the new text, and, being for
bidden by the provost of Paris, the
priests of France invited the king to
be present at an exhibition to prove
that they were calculated to excite re-
ligious feelings.
The building in which those plays
were produced was divided into three
scaffoldings. The highest represented
paradise, the second the world, and the
lowest, which was in the form of
dragons head. represented hell. The
only entrance to the two upper scaf
foldings was through the dragons
head.
The actors never left the stage, even
to change their dress, and the plays
were SO long as to require several days
for their completion At the close Of
each evening the audience was invited
to return until the whole were finished,
sometimes forty nights.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-08-21
Why the Guest Was Embarrassed.


A north side man who was invited
out to dinner the other day was not
able to figure out for awhile whether
he was welcome or not after he ar
rived at the house. The members of
the family talked nicely and appeared
cordial all right, but they made so
many mysterious side remarks that
he was supposed not to hear that it
made him nervous.
They all sat down. to the dinner
table. and before the meal had pro-
gressed very far he caught the hostess
whispered to the children:
"F. II. b." she said.
The visitor didn't know what to
think of it. He was further mystified
after little while when the hostess
whispered to the children:
IN 1. K"
This happened while plate of some
thing was being passed at the table.
Everybody, children and all, helped
themselves literally.
This mysticism continued through
out the evening, and the guest went
home still wondering about it.
A few days later he found out what
it all meant. When the mother whis-
pered "F. 81. B." she meant family
hold back" because the article of food
then being served was somewhat
rcarce and she was afraid the supply
would run out. The IN. l. K" meant
more in the kitchen" and was sig
nal that the members Of the family
might partake literally of whatever it
referred to.-Boston Herald.

struggled, then hunger won, ana pres,
the trestle to the sandy shore of the
island, and by the time the fire was
built his mothers supplies were ready
for the sacrifice. In addition to the
steak, there was a loaf of bread from
q fashionable bakery, and even box
of fine table salt of sort not obtain
able in Bayv1ew. The steak was cut
into strips ready for broiling.
The fragrant fumes of hot meat at
tracted the crew of the car, but not un-
til Lucy and he had eaten their fill did
Tom permit the two men to have a
morsel. Then while the motorman
took his turn as cook he and Lucy
sought the other side of the island.
The ice was broken now, and they
chatted as though such things as cook
ing schools and their evil effects upon
the digestion were unknown.
"It makes me think of when we were
little tots" cried Lucy as Tom lighted
cigarette. 'You always used to
smoke corn silk cigarettes after we had
one Of our al fresco meals"
'1Those were great times" he re-
sponded, with laugh. "Do you re-
member how we used to plan to grow
up as quickly as we could so that we
might keep a real house and have ice
cream for dessert every day?'
"And we were going to make fruit
cake instead of the plain kind and
have slice between meals whenever
we wanted it," supplemented Lucy. "It
all seems so far away"
"And yet it was so near" he remind
ed. "Just because 1 happened to feel
as though l could not be serious, no
matter how hard l tried, I went and
spoiled it all"
"But we were both wrong that
night" protested the girl. 81 should
not have been 30 serious"
What followed this remark is not
necessary for publication, and it was
some moments before the two returned
to mundane interests.
"Hurrahr' shouted Tom, and Lucy
looked at him in surprise. Then she
turned to follow his gesture of direc-
ton and echoed his cheer. The draw
was slowly swinging into place. The
current was on again.
Regretfully the conductor suspended
his culinary operations, and the motor
man climbed back to his post with a
slice of steak Sandwiched between two
slices of bread. In a few minutes
they were rattling over the closed
draw and home was in sight again.
"Have you the ring stillT' asked
Lucy as they left the car at their cor
ner
"Ill bring it over tonight" he prom
ised. 'T'n be over early. "You make
a fruit cake, and I'll bring the cream" "
"a cooking school fruit cakeT she
demanded teasingly.
ga Lucy fruit CAKE" corrected Tom,
with a smile. ''It's enough that you
cook it."
"But there won't be time," objected
the girl.
''Then let's have some more steak" "
suggested Tom. "That tasted better
than fruit cake awhile ago, with you
across the fire. We ought to be very
grateful to the car company"
"And to the steak" suggested Lucy.
'It was the steak that compelled sur
render"
But her eyes told a different story,
and Tom regarded a passing trolley
with a glance of positive affection as
he turned in at his gate.
