The Case of One eiri-and Another

4 beautiful New York society girl burned by flaming gasoline when her automobile was run down by street car. has been awarded $20,000 dam ages by a New York court because her neck was scared so that she can not wear low-necked gowns at social functions
 A few days ago a Jersey judge, re- ceiving a verdict of $S,500. awarded by a jury to a little girl whose leg had been cut off by a car, said the amount was too much taking into cOnSidera- tion the great improvements in cork legs.
 One girl is rich; the other poor. One is q belle of society; the other a work ingman's baby. One girl is surrounded by luxury and lives an idle existence; the other is in Q humble home and must help with housework and earn her support
 Yet the rich girl, whose soft hands will never make a bed or wash the dishes, is given $20.000 for few scars on her erstwhi1e shapely neck, while the poor girl, crippled for life, ham, pered in the struggle for existence, is told by a judge that $S,50O is more than she should receive for losing a leg.
 Queer laws, and queer courts, aren' t they, for a land where freedom and equality are established by the consCi- tuition Rutland News.

GYPSY MOTH EGGS
Have Hatched Into Lively Worms
 The WalIingford Crusade.

The gypSy moth egg clusters that have been found by the thousands in the borough of Wallingford are some thing of the past and in their stead are worms that have reached a growth of half an inch. Warden Becroft has given the entomologists permission to tie up the trees wherever the worms are found and a strict watch is being kept Burlap about five inches in width is wrapped around the trees and tied in the middle The worms feed at night and during the day hide in any secure out of the way place. In crawl ing they reach the burlap and get be- meath the folds out of the sun. It is the duty of those now fighting the pest to unite the burlap each morning and kill the worms thus caught There and already many have been disposed of.
 There have been over seven thou sand egg masses treated with creosote during the past several months, or since the same were discovered in Wallingford. and as each mass con tains about 250 eggs it is estimated that if the crusade had not been pushed as it was, the borough would have been alive with worms by now.
 The government scouts, who came on from Massa chusetts at the request of the govrnment, made a close can vdss of the entire town. going all over the east and west sections, and were unable to locate the egg masses out side of the confines between Colony and Main streets They left some time since and the state experts have been steadily at work getting rid of the eggs. Naturally there are many that will escape their notice and there will be many worms and consequently moths and again egg masses another year to fight. but great headway has been made and the pest is well in hand and it is but a matter of time before the entire lot will be exterminated.- Meriden Record.
