Market Women.

seen striding along the narrow trails
toward the capital city where market
is held, says Manila correspondent.
Strong and happy, they wade
through the streams and the mud,
calling out to one another as they go,
and only stopping to get fresh light
for their cigars from some one OF
their number or some one whom they
chance to meet. Once at market they
chat, smoke, laugh and barter for
hours over a few small tomatoes,

The Toad's Useful Appetite.

Professor Washburn of the Mime

of the farmers. They feed entirely
upon an incredible number of insects.
The federal department Of agriculture,
investigating the toad, discovers the
startling fact that in "a hours the in
sect food consumed by one toad equals
in quantity four times the capacity
Of its stomach, which is practically
filled and emptied four times every
"a hours. One hundred and fifty-nine
stomachs examined by the department
showed a content of 10 per cent. Of
ants, 16 per cent. of cut worms, 10

doing plain sewing and keeping a
home somewhere always for the boy.
Finally, however, she realized that
her only training had been domestic,
and she put the boy in an Episco-
plalian home, and secured the posi-
ton OF housekeeper to the Arm
strongs. There she found Lucien's
father, this time under his own name.
1t was Arnold Armstrong.
I gathered that there was no par
ticular enmity at that time in Anne's
mind. She told him of the boy, and
threatened exposure If he did not pro-
vide for him. Indeed, for a time, he
did so. Then he realized that Lucien
was the ruling passion in this lonely
woman's life. He found out where
the child was hidden, and threatened
to take him away. Anne was frantic
The positions became reversed

Lucien's support, as the years went
on he forced money from Anne Wat
son instead until she was always PEN

scale, the heavier his demands be-
came. With the rupture between him
and his family things were worse.
Anne took the child from the home
and hid him in a farmhouse near
Casanova, on the Claysburg road.

boy, and there he had taken fever.

night Louise arrived unexpectedly
Thomas sent for Mrs. Watson and
then went for Arnold Armstrong at
the Greenwood club. Anne had been
fond Of Louise-she reminded her OF
Lucy. She did not know what the
trouble was, but Louise had been in
a state of terrible excitement. Mrs.
Watson tried to hide from Arnold, but
he was ugly. He left the lodge and
went up to the house about $3.50, was
admitted at the east entrance and

SERIOUS FUNGUS DISEASE
OF EUROPEAN POTATOES
Known BLACK Seab" and Every Effort
Prevent Its Development In
This Country.

During the past thirteen years a
serious fungus disease of potatoes has
spread throughout European coun.
tries. II was first recorded from Hun
gary in 1896 and appeared in England
In 1901 and is known as the black
scab," "warty disease" and potato
canker." During the years that have
clasped since the disease first became
known II has spread into Ireland,
Scotland. England, Scandinavia, Ger
many, France, Italy and Newfound-
land and is prevalent over the greater
part of Europe. 1t was not known on
the American continent until 1t APP
peared In Newfoundland In 1909.
The extraordinary virulence OF the
disease and the rapidity with which
II has spread, make II necessary to
warn all potato growers to be on the
lookout for this disease.
Where allowed to establish itself It
renders the cultivation of potatoes ex.
tremely difficult, as they cannot be
raised on that ground for a period of
at least six years. Therefore, strin-
gent preventive measures should be
used to keep this disease out OF the
United States. By the terms of the
Destructive insect and pests order of
1908" In England, Scotland and
Wales, persons concealing this dis
ease are liable to prosecution and a
heavy penalty.
1t is believed that the disease is
likely to be introduced into the
United States at any time. In order
that the disease may be recognized
and promptly reported 1t is fully
described by H. T. Gussow in a bull
letin of the central experimental
farm of Canada and by w. A. orion
