The nature of the poison is being

Ine nature or the poison IS being analysed by chemists.
 It is doubtful if there is any bet ter means of protecting the chick ems and ducklings than to keep them away from rose bushes, grape-vines, apple trees and all towering shrub bery.
 People who raise chickens should learn to know this insect It is light yellowish brown in color, about one third of an inch long, having long Sprawley legs and is sluggish in ac- tion. It is great enemy of the grape-vines and is usually removed from these by grape growers by hand-picking, since the insect is diff f1cult to kill quickly with arsenical poison, though it is being somewhat controlled by spraying with arsenate of lead in the proportion of five lbs. to fifty gallons of water.
 Especial care should be taken. then, through the latter part of this month and early July to guard the chickens and ducklings from these insects that are so attractive vet so poisonous to them.

Austria Arouses Powers By Stand
 Against Turkey
Special from United Press, ,

St. Petersburg, July 7-Surprise fs expressed here, in diplomatic circles, over the apparent encouragement be- ing given by Austria to Montenegro in the latter's stand against Turkey. It had been presumed since the an- nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina that no further move would be made in the Balkans without the most fn- terested powers which included Rus sia, Austria and Italy, coming to an agreement. There is every reason to believe that King Nicholas. of Monte negro, is in connivance with the Aus trian authorities and that his plan is to start war against Turkey in the hope of launching such a conflict that other powers will interfere and git 6 Montenegro more territory.
 Unless Turkey can settle her AL banian troubles speedily. it is belfev- ed that this will inevitably lead to a. declaration of war by Montenegro. whose sympathies have always been with the Albanians.

CRIPPLE CURED
SHE And FRIENDS
SAY BY PRAYER
Was Healed in Four Minutes After
Doctors Had Failed to
Relieve.

Reading, Pa, Feb. 3.-Friends of
Miss Gertrude Neeb, of this city, be-
lieye in the efficiency of prayer more
than they ever did before. Miss
Neeb was employed in a department
store last Christmas. She fell and
was removed to her home. Physicians
treated her and Doctor Mccarthy. of
the University of Pennsylvania, was
called, but none could give her relief.
The case was diagnosed as conges
ton of the spine, and Miss Neeb lost
the power of her lower limbs.
Several days ago the family heard
that miracles were performed through
prayer, and called a religious worker
to pray with them. The girl, it is
said, was healed in about four min
She has been walking about the house
ever since.
The religious worker takes no credit
upon himself for the reported healing
of the girl He says it is simply a
direct answer to the prayers that
were offered up for the girl by her
many friends.
The Rev. ]. Wallace Martin, rector of
Christ Episcopal Church, says he is
convinced that the girl was healed
through prayer.
