Arsenate of lead may be safely used
as above directed on all but the most

in suspension readily; Is not easily

Water :. .125 to $50 gals
HOW TO PREPARE.
Mix the Paris Green with a small
quantity of water to form a paste, and
dilute this to about two gallons. Slake
the lime in another vessel, add II to
the Paris Green mixture and stir. II
Is then ready to be diluted. Where
the spray mixture Is prepared accord
ing to the above direction. 1t will
avoid the formation of Jumps, which
cannot be avoided where the Paris
Green Is added to the barrel of water
in dry form. The milk of lime must
not be omitted as this will prevent the
Paris Green from burning the plants.
PARIS GREEN DRY.
Paris Green may be applied to the
plants in a dry form by diluting 1t ten
to fifty times with land plaster, flour,
road dust, or some similar material.
The action of dew and heat will dis
solve the arsenic more or less, and
when Paris Green is used in this form
some burning of the foliage may al
ways be expected. There are pow
der guns on the market especially
adapted for the application Of the dry
powder.

HOW WE SOUANDER MONEY
IN EUROPE.

Lament Is frequently heard over
the vast sums Of money Americans
spend IN Europe The amount runs
well above the hundred million dollar
mark One of the things frequently
blamed for keeping US poor at home
Is that the rich and the fairly well-to-
do lavish so much abroad. And We
haven't the consoling reflection that
they ges their moneys worth. The
way they are bIed by guides and pseu-
do nobility Is an old story The ease
with which sharpers separate them
from coin which would do a lot OF
good at home has been often told.
Now comes proof, no less authentic
than the report of the American con
sui at Duufermline, Scotland, that the
cauny Scot has walked up to the sit
uaiou and Is fairly SHINING Us by sell
ing bogus antiques az rates that would
make the short-weight man look upon

As an instance Of the purchase Of
antiques at eXOrbitauL prices by
Americans while abroad, authentic IN

chase by a dealer near here of an old
Dutch cabinet for q few shilIinEs,
which was placed on sale IN an an
tique store and sold TO an English
earl for $500 (SI,460). soon after
the owner, becoming dissatisfied with
his bargain, again offered IL in Lon
don and IT was sold 70 wealthy
American tourist for $1,000 tS+.SS6)-
The cabinet was bought in CulrOsS,
IN this district, from an elderly
Scotch widow, who now regrets hav-
Ing parted with it at such a low
price Several such cabinets were

POLICE RAIDS AND THE FOUR
HUNDRED.

The fashionable world Is frequent
l. made to shoulder responsibility =or
things of which It Is innocent. There
Is a near-fashi0nabIe coterie whose
dOings figure In the newspapers that
brings serious discredit upon that so
Getty which, by reason of family.
wealth, or attainment, Is looked upOn
as being representative of what IS
best In America. Unfortunately. It
frequently happens that It Is far from
being the best; but there Is also no
doubt that 1t often suffers for SINS Of
which It has not been guilty
in a raid on a club at Nauacausett
Pier, where roulette and other forms
Of gambling were being enjoyed, we
are told a score OF more Of men and
women OF national reputation were
captured. It might he said that a raid
at Narragansett and the capts1re OF a
crowd OF fasMonables breaking the
law on Sunday night Is Of no more i'm
portance than a raid elsewhere and the
capture Of a lot of ordinary folk for
doing the same thing. But il Is IN
fortunately true that there Is soei-
ETY. IN this country which Is aped and
which Is regarded as so eminentIv de-
sirable that men and women strive
and work and cheat and lie The better
part of their lives TO be in 1t and of
It. The foreigner says we have an
aristocracy that Is as fixed as that Of
Europe. This being true, 1t Is dis
e0uraging TO find 1t pulled by the 20
nee like vulgar law-breakers-
The abuse OF great riches, the os-
tentation of th1se who possess then,
are two Of the serious evils of the dav.
The idle rich Who do so much 10 create
discomfort OUGHT to have a little care
Of the example they set. They may
not understand what noblesse O-)lige

IMMIGRANTS IN PENNSYL-
VANIA MINING FIELDS.

The immigration commission has
been studying the conditions Of the
immigrants In the bitUminOus coal
mining fields IN Western Pennsylvania,
and has made a report thereon. The
picture set forth Is not on the whole

zen who likes TO think Of America as

of the foreign born have lived IN the

generally were not familiar with mine
work before they came here. OF ap-

It Is found that mine accidents have
undoubtedly been increased by reason
Of the employment Of so large a pro
portion Of recent immigrants with no
previous mining experience and with
a considerable proportion unable to
comprehend instructions spoken in
English OF written IN English or their
native language
Low wages reign in this region. The

Among some Of the races the avPrsge
was as low as S4sI.
The report shows that the necessity
Of adding to the income of the hus-
band through taking dodgers not only
led to great crowding IN the home, but
usually destroyed the possibility Of
separate family life.
Tt was found that at most of the
mines the inequitable "company"
store system obtains. In some in
stances purchases here are practical
" compulsory, while exorbitant rates
are charged and articles sold are Of
poor quality. The mining companies
own the houses and rent them to the
miners They refuse o sell their
houses in most cases, so that home
owning Is not encouraged
1t was fourd by the commission that
the miners, living under such eondi-
lions, manifested little civic interest
1t would be a strange thing If they
did. When we read Of the turbulent
and troublesome foreign-born miner
in times Of labor troubles, it is worth
while and only the most common fair
ness to remember what an impartial
commission has 20 say about the
wretched conditions under which these
people exist. More than that they
are encouraged to come here to exist
under these conditions which are dis
tinctIy not such, as the commission
finds. to facilitate the assimilation Of
the immigrant.
