Poison Bugs in Beans.

The local pure food Office of the
Agricultural Department and the board
OF health have been asked to investi-
gate the coming to this port of a
small grey winged bug that threatens
to stop the importation of a certain
kind Of bean of Italy. This insect has
caused so much illness among the la
borers and weighers who handle the
beans that the matter has been Off
cfally brought to the attention of Sur
veyor Clarkson. He has called for an
investigation, and meanwhile he has
held up a large importation of the
beans until a decision shall be reached.
For some time the authorities have
received complaint that a small in
sect, brought from Italy with a dried
bean, much like our butter bean and
called by the men who handle them
as horse" or city" beans, was caus-
ing the discontinue of the men handl-
ing them. few days ago three men
became so i'll that they had to remain
at home under the care of physicians.
At first the cause of the malady was a
mystery, but the men soon became
convinced that the bugs were the
cause of it. Sixty-three bags of the
beans which arrived here on the Eu-
pests, and the consignment now held
up consists of 125 bags, which arrived
recently on the Virginia.
The insect is gray in color. about
the size of half pea, with wings
that fold closely on its back. When
first disclosed in the bean the bug is
apparently lifeless. 1t soon revives
however. and begins to crawl or take
short flights. 1t crawls up the trous-
ers of the men who handle the beans
and bites them, the effect being feel
ing of nausea. In addition to this a
rash appears on the affected parts.
The officers of the pure food bureau
have taken specimens of the bug, and
are now making tests to prove that it
is the. bug which causes the strange
illness.-New York Times.

GRACEFUL GREEK

GRACEFUL GREEK
DINNER COSTUME
Though Directoire effects died a hard
death, they have really passed at last
into a blessed oblivion, and only a
few memories remain TO tell Of their
reign.
An awkward appreciation for the
beauty of pure Greek effects Is one OF
the happy results of the Directoire re-
vival, and many of the new Paris even
ing frocks Tor fall show notifications
of the Greek types.
A Greek drapery Of chiffon over en-
broidered satin makes a gown of sub
erb beauty-illustrated to-day. This
satin gown was first sent to Jaran,
where the marvellous fiat embroidery
was done the model was then built in
Paris. and gown and hat were sent
to America to a dark-haired young
natron, who will wear it at the opera
this winter.
The costume is in pale yellow-a
color that will be extremely fashion
able this season-and the Greek Wall
of-Troy embroidery on the drapery is
in shadow work, which makes tho
pattern stand out in strong relief
asainst the gold threads which form
the design. The hat is loaded down
with tawny yellow plumes.

Servant Problem is Easily Solved
BY The Ingeni0usness of Housewife

How TO keep house with a minimum
Of hired help is a problem, the solu-
tion of which depends to a considerable
degree upon individual conditions; yet
the righteousness OF certain house
wives may well be turned to the ad-
vantage Of many others.
A writer, for example. tells how an
employer eliminates the need at table
Of the services Of a waitress.
This housekeeper has devised a piece
OF furniture. the height of the dining
table. with ends and back enclosed.
and consisting of four shelves, count
ng the top. It stands at the side Of
the hostess. with the open front to-
ward her. and into this serving table
are put the different courses of the
meal, which are entirely out Of sight of
the guests. One shelf is reserved
empty for the soiled plates of the first
course.
After the meal is over the housewife

into this serving table. which. being
on casters. can be wheeled 70 the

ing tables for the same purpose. af-
ter the English idea. can be bought
ready made.
In this family gas exclusively is used
for cooking at less cost than was for
merly incurred by coal. The house
wife has found bakery, which sup
plies satisfactory bread. Only a part
OF the washing and ironing is done
In the house.
Thus size has in a measure solved the
problem of living well without the need
Of servants. yet without herself be-
coming a household slave.

BLACK LACE cAPEs
TO DRAPE SHOULDERS

The fashion of scarfs has brought
about many kinds of shoulder drapery.
One of the newest is a cape of black
chantilly lace. It has no fronts. but
is fashioned somewhat after the capes
of the Uhlan regiments. from which
the new turban has taken its name.
The cape is unlined and is caught at
each shoulder with a barbaric buckle.
Jet is used more than any other metal,
but this is personal preference.
The lace is laid in wide folds at the
shoulders. and it drops down slightly
at middle of back. Then it sweeps
away nearly to hem. 1t is especially
effective when worn over white gowns.
or those of vivid pink and mistral
blue. It is not quite the thing for a

for restaurant and theatre gowns, al
though it is undeniably good for the

NARlsUsEs GROW
EASILY IN BOWLS

Narcissuses of many sorts can be
be grown excellently in bowls. and for
these growers recommend compost
Of crushed shell and cocoanut fiber, in
the proportion Of three parts fiber to

being added to keep all sweet. The
bowls should be covered with moss
and kept in the dark while the roots
are forming.
Large trumpet daffodills and hya-
cinths can be grown in glasses. as de-
