will kill the foliage as well as the
blight germs and the insects. If he

The currant crop is cut down this
year by currant bugs and the scale
anthracope is killing the blackberries.
Club-root is affecting the cabbage.
Yellow-stripe bugs are biting the Gu

Colorado beetles, have developed
blight and scab. Fruit trees by the

scale, moths and other insects Chest
nut trees, which have hitherto been
immune, have now fatal prasite of

been spoiled by the cutworm. A

In this section there are few crops
not affected by insects. Grass and
corn are freer than any others; but
most of them are subject to destruc'

other lines of business.

Agricultural Education.

Now when our agricultural colleges
dreds OF boys who are TO become the
farm leaders of the future are getting
down to their studies, the following
thoughts on the need Of agricultural
education, voiced by Professor II. J..
Waters of Missouri may be opportune:
THE farmer Of tomorrow must face
more serious responsibilities than the
farmer of yesterday" says DR.. Waters.
Farming becomes more complex and
difficult as our country develops. The
public domain has been exhausted.
The agricultural area must from this
on be subdivifed to support the ever
increasing number to be provided
with the opportunity to earn liveli-
hood. New and difficult problems are
constantly presenting themselves and
must be solved before success is pos
sible. New crops; new demands OF
the market: new pests Of insects and
weed; new diseases Of plants and ami
NAL; new conditions of soil and crop
ping all demand an intelligent and
scientific treatment. However success
full, therefore, the farmer of yesterday
may have been without the benefits OF
scientific knowledge, it is certain that
the farmer of tomorrow will not find
the practical experience of past gen
erations adequate to meet the new and
changed conditions under which he
must labor.
The present day collegiate course
in agriculture fulfills all of the reason
able requirements of a liberal educa-
ton, disciplining the mind quite as
we'll as the classics at the same time
that it furnishes information of meal
culable value to the farmer in conduct
ing all his business. 1t is not all of
success, however, to make money. The
educated man lives better, gets more
out of life, and is better and safer
citizen"

depth of 1870 feet, leaving space for a
large yard in the rear. According to
the plans of the architects the facade
of the building will be distinctively
Chinese in its general design and de.

facing the street will be in glazed
brick of rich blue similar to the pre-.
vailing blue porcelain tiles of the
pagodas in the Flowering kingdom.
The roof, with its quaint Oriental
crown in Chinese figures and orna.
ment, will be of red tile in imitation
of the tile roofs of the Orient, and
there will be red tile sections of roofs
at each story or balcony. A deep re.
cessed white stone platform will
mark the first floor level, and the
upper balconies will be finished in
scagliola, with Chinese balustrades in
front.
The first floor will be arranged for a
large meeting hall of the Chinese Six
Companies, with the secretary's office
and committee rooms. The second
and third floors will be laid out alike,
with four large classrooms on each
floor, together with principals Office
and rooms for the teachers. The
classrooms will afford accommodation
for 400 children, for whom every con.
venience will be provided.
Practically all of the leading Chi.
nese merchants are taking a personal
interest in the school and building,
which embodies for them a patriotic
meaning. The building will soon be
finished. when it's opening will be
celebrated with elaborate ceremonies.

somebody, says London correspond

Thereupon his majesty is alleged to
have replied. The secret is, to sur

It," The story may not be authentic;
for royalty even when genial and pop
ular, does not permit itself to be cate
chized in any such tactless, free-and-
easy fashion. But the king might have
made the reply truthfully; and 1t Is
true saying, whether he said it or not.
Two Americans of 60 odd, friends in
earlier years, met after long separa-
ton, and one. who was an old man
and admitted it, said, almost fretfully,
to the other, "Why are you so young?"
The other, who had been for half his

the king. Encompassed by youth, and
glad to be so, he lived up to it." That
would mean, perhaps, says the Youths
Companion, that he chung to his early
enthusiasms, including many which
aging men might term illusions; that,
while he thought and spoke sincerely,
he kept generous belief in others;
that he refused to brood over the past,
made much of the present, and looked
always hopefully toward the future.

One of the teachers in the Vevay
schools the other day asked her class
the origin OF the word stateroom, as
applied to berths on steamboats,. Not
one in the class could answer the
question, and we doubt If there are
many people who could. The word,
says Vevay Qnd) Reveille, originated
with the newspapers many years ago.
At that time magnificent steamer
was built and IS sleeping rooms were
made alongside the cabin. At that
time there were IS states in the union
and room was named for each state
Later the state of Texas was added to
the union, and the sleeping apartments
set aside for the officers of the boat
was dubbed Texas"

Illuminated Proiectlles.

The French navy has recently De
gun experiments with the luminous
shells employed for year past in
America. These shells have hollow
in the rear end containing fireworks
powder, which is infamed as the shell
quits the gun, and leaves luminous
trail in the air, enabling the gunner
at night to follow the course of his
projectile, and determine whether or
not it reaches its object. Without
some device of this kind it is very
difficult in firing over the sea in the
darkness to ascertain whether the
range is too long or too short. In the
daytime Jet of water where the shell
falls tells the story.
