CAUSES LOSS OF MILLIONS.
Wheat Rust Responsible for Enormous
Annual Damage.

Rust still corrupteth the American
cereal crops, and that to annual dam
age exceeding s5O0,0O0,0O0. The de-
partment of agriculture has put on
record the amazing statement that the
injury to wheat and oats from rust
probably exceeds that caused by any
other fungus or insect pest, and in
some localities is greater than that
caused by all other enemies COM
bined. The farmer in some season or
other in looking over his fields during
early summer cannot help noting that
the fresh green appearance of the
wheat crop is changing in color from
day to day. becoming gradually quite
yellow. On examining closely one of
the withered leaves the observant
cultivator can detect orange yellow
spots or lines, and with the aid of a
low power lens also can see that the
epidermal tissue of the leaf has been
ruptured by the emission of countless
numbers of orange yellow seeds or
spores. The spots and lines upon the
leaves multiply rapidly. and when the

Nine. MelDa has seldom received
such a remarkable ovation as that
which greeted her appearance at the
recent opera gala performance in
Paris. 1t cannot, however, compare
in delirious enthusiasm with one she
received some years ago in st. Peters
burg. On one memorable night, after
the close of the opera, she was called
before the curtain again and again
for more than an hour, until she was
so exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the no.
tel, where they serenaded her, al
though it was a bitterly cold night,
until three o'clock in the morning. On
the following day when she reached
the station to depart the platform was
crowded with hundreds of adoring
music lovers. AS the train was leav-
Ing they took the pencil with which
she had written her autograph for
all who could get near her, bit it into
small pieces and passed them around
as souvenirs.

Politeness.

1t was the last day of the term in
one of our public kindergartens. The
children were all seated around the ta-
bles thoroughly enjoying the treat of
ice cream which the teacher always
provided on this occasion.
CHANGING around the room at the
beaming faces of the children, the
kindergarten noticed one child pick
up his plate and lick it.
She went up to him and said in a
low tone of voice: Freddie, put down
your plate; it is not polite to pick 1t
up and lick it"
Fred obeyed at once, quietly plac-
ing his plate on the table. He then
put his head down to the plate and
licked it.

THE WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.

Paraguay is rich in local color The
picturesque character of the native
nopulation with their quaint Indian
features and habits of everyday life

serving strange phases of human life.
Bv nature these people are patient
and gentle, seldom complaining, chat
tering and laughing from sunrise to
sunset and taking small thought OF
what the morrow may have in store
for them.
1t is hard to imagine how Lopez
could have drilled them into fighting
material of strength enough to keep
in check the combined forces of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Uruguay for five
long, weary years. and it speaks vol
umes for the indomitable energy of
the man that he was able to sustain
his position for so protracted time.
Clothing is very much of a super
fluffy in Paraguay. The attire of the
women is a cotton chemise with long

The days slip silently by. You are

realize that you are yourself again.
But not before the doctor does. One
bright morning he comes into your

You have slept nine hours without a

Like Any Other Disease.
Insanity" said Dr.. Harris, SIS lust
like any other disease. The sooner we
get it the better the chance for a
cure. The trouble is to-day that we
get the average case only after it
has become chronic. If we could pos
sibly get it in its first stages the
chance of a cure would be so much
the greater.
I'm this new ward we will encourage
natients to come of themselves. OF
course. we would hardly take paretic
or one with senile dementia, but where
If is a case of nervous breakdown we
would be only too glad. We will put
in this new ward all those cases in
which we consider there is ground for
hope. That doesn't mean that we
have in the other departments no pa
tents for whom there is no hope
far from it. But when we think the
case is incipient we will put the case
in this new ward, there to start the
cure-if it be possible-as soon as
possible.
"People sick physically are often
sick mentally. Those are the cases we
can best reach. A little quiet and rest
good food, peaceful surroundings, and
the cure is far easier than it would
have been had the patient been kept
at home to allow his or her case tc
become chronic.

the whole world is against her. We
