MAGNOLIA SCALE.

The importance of knowing the life
history of insects when planning to
destroy them is shown in the case of
the Magnolia Scale specimen of
which insect infesting the Magnolia
tree was sent to Prof. H. A. Sur
face, State Zoologist, Harrisburg,
Pa, containing free moving young
scale. Since these insects are most
easily destroyed in this stage. Prof.
Surface advised immediate spraying
with some contact inseeticide as fol-
lows:
1.-THE specimens you sent to us on
your cucumber tree are called the
Magnolia scale. 1t infests the Mag
nolia or Cucumber and the Tulip
trees. l have seen it only on these
two varieties. 1t is our largest scale
insect. The young are crawling on
this branch at the present time,
showing when they appear. This is
consequently an excellent time to
spray with a comparatively mild in
secticide which will kill them.
The most important time, by all
means, for the destruction of scale
insects of any kind is while the
young are crawling. This shows
that from the middle to the latter
part of September is the proper time
for destroying this largest of the
scale insects, which is Hemisphere
cal or Turtle-shell scale often found
on Magnolia or Cucumber and Tulip
trees.

pound of whale oil soap in six GAL
Ions of water, or one pound of ordi-
nary soft soap or ordinary brown
soap in about three gallons of water,
or seven or eight per cent. kerosene
emulsion, or very strong tobacco
deeoetion. This is a remedy that
will kill young scale insects of all
kinds, and also plant lice.
This particular pest will not
spread to fruit trees. 1t is often
held In check by parasites. Where

MAGAZINE OR NEWSPAPER.

1t is an excellent thing to have an
elevated opinion of your own craft
and broad ideal of it's mission For
this reason one cannot take exception
to the enthusiasm of Mr.. j. o. Co.'S
grove, editor of Everybody's maga-
zine, in landing the magazine in gen.
eral as an agency through which men,
whose superior talents have been
trained in the newspaper field, find
ultimate expression for their larger
and ripper views. He says much of
the vision of the magazine and of the
talent which it develops, of it's liter
airy qualities and of the opportunity
1t ever opens for originality. All this
is in good spirit. The assumption of
superiority can easily be pardoned
him. But as a sort of steadier to
the egotism of the modern magazine
one might cite few facts, comments
the Detroit News.
Ine pest literary product of to-day
is found in the newspaper, not in the
magazine. Many of the most popu-
lar magazine writer's have been gent
ly assisted out of the newspaper field
because of their unreliability. On
the other hand, George Ade and Fin
ley Peter Dunno wrote for the news
papers better literature than they
nave written since they achieved
fortune. o. Henrys talent was re-
pudiated by the magazines and dis
covered by the newspapers Edgar
Allan Poe couldn't find publication
in the magazines for his immortal
short stories. The newspaper nur-
tured his genius. Guy Maupassant
wrote for the newspapers as do now
nearly all of the master writer's of
Europe, including George Bernard
Shaw. 1t may safely be asserted
that were a Kipling, Shaw, de Maui
passant, Balzac, Henry, Ade or
Dooley story offered to a magazine
to-day without the name of the au-
thor appended it would meet the
same fate as the work of these au-
thors at first did, until their reputa-
t1ons were made by the newspapers.
In the very nature of things the
magazine must trade upon the estab-
lished name. In the very nature of
things the newspapers must trade up
on impersonal merit. 1t is the differ
ence between specializing and gem
eralizing. Each has its field. But
with due respect to the magazine,
the newspaper has not surrendered
its calling as the first and the last
expressions of the mental life of the
nation.

KEEP YOUR FACE YOUNG.

A bright expression is the first
thing to cultivate, for the habit of a
worried expression depresses the
mind. Many women allow their
mouths to sag at the corners, their
whole expression to express despon-
dency and hopelessness They feel
depressed and miserable and they
look it.
This is very bad for them in every
way When you are depressed, stand
in front of your glass and notice the
effect of merely turning up instead
of down, the corners of the mouth.
Turning them up means that you will
smile. Immediately you feel less
blue and more cheerful.

Gloves For Parties.

1t is a good plan when going to a
party to cover your nice gloves by a
second pair-thread in summer,
wooden or silk in winter 1t is as
tonishing what a saving that makes
in ones glove bill, for opening taxi
or carriage doors or handling money
to pay does not improve light gloves.
Some women know carry one pair
to travel in, and change as they near
their destination; but that is not
quite the same thing. To begin with,
the change is likely to be hurried,
and good gloves should be treated
with respect and put on slowly; then,
at the end, the carriage door has to
be negotiated after all, and the fresh
ly-put-on gloves will suffer. There
are glovers who sell loosely-fitting
goves, just for this purpose, made
without fastenings, so that they can
be slipped off in a twinkling.

for Hollenbeck's crime was five

The Black Necktie Order.

The Paterson Call says: "The con-
ductors, agents, brakemen, ETC., of
the Erie railroad company must
wear black neckties hereafter, in ac-
cordance with an order just issued
by Superintendent Parsons. Some
of them have been wearing red era
vats, which made them look much
like anarchists" To which the Sus-
sex Independent adds: eff they
would let those conductors run
awhile through Port Jervis or over
the Susquehanna Railroad with its
soft coal engines, they wouldn't
nave to issue any orders. Every
body and everything worn on these
trains have been black the past sum-
mer, including the waists worn by
the ladies'"

THEATRE HATS.

The little mob caps that are worn
at the theatre are a great improve
ment upon the butterfly bow confec-
tions that have been worn so often
and that are almost as bad as the
high crowned hats.
The mob cap is made of silver or
gold net, or better still, the gold
cloth and trimmed with gold lace,
wound about with the ribbon of gold.
An aigrette of gilt stands up in the
front, or just a pert little bow is
better still, for this makes no
height, to offend those who are sit
ting behind you at the theatre.
The Turkish turban is still worn
at the theatre and is becoming to the
woman of tiny features. 1t has the
folds of velvet wound about the face

Engineer Gets Honor Marks.

Under a new system recently in
augurated by the Erie, certain marks
are given engineers for efficiency of
service. Among the marks for eff
cheney and care of engines, are a red
star on the number plate and the en-
gineer's name on the cab. The only
one to be thus honored among the
freight and coal trains on this divi-
sion is that of P. ]. Nallin, who, with
number 742, pulls the way freight
between Honesdale and Lackawaxen.
This train carries freight and express
and mail, the latter between White
Mills and Hawley. Mr.. Nallin was
born and reared in Hawley and has
had his present run for about three
years. His fireman is M. J. Murphy,
formerly of this place, but now of
Honesdale. 1t is asserted that Haw-
ley has produced more railroad men
who stand high In the service and
who now hold good and responsible
positions than any other town of its
size on the Erie. In casting over the
number we believe the claim to be
well ounded.-Hawley Times.

THE DOMESTIC SERVANT PROB
-------- ----L- LEM. u. .---

.NN. LINN .f I|.N.
As usual at this time of year the
domestic servant problem is agitat-
ing many households. 1t is an un-
pleasant fact that women who en-
ploy servants know, as rule, little
of the biology, psychology and socio-
logy involved, otherwise the prob
lem would be less acute. In this
country there Is not, and is not like
ly to be, a servant class. A small
percentage of domestics remain
more than six years at service"
The rest are recruited from young
women in various strata of society
who seek this means of employment
previous to setting up a home of
their own. .fIH
Women are exceedingly individu-
alistic and their sex consciousness is
far greater than that of males.
Women are self-centred, and prop
erly so, else they would not be good
wives and mothers. They dominate
the home largely because they are
actual or potential mothers, and all
things must give way before this
most important fact in human exist
ence But the mistress generally
fails to understand that her domes-
tic servants are also women who are
potential mothers, who have the
same individualism and the same
temperament as herself. 1t is fact
that not one woman in a hundred
is capable of properly controlling
other women. They are not given to
executive ability.
Most troubles over the servant
question arise from the fact that
women are unjust-sad as it is to
say SO. This is small blame to them
because they are naturally unjust to
others of their own sex simply be-
cause of their self-centred individu-
mistresses make two errors At
times they treat servants with great
liberality and are prodigal of Ian
guage and gifts lest they lose them.
At others, they are bitter and un-
thinking in their criticisms. No
man can control men in such a way
and it is more difficult for a woman.
This fault is temperamental, but if
women are to get along with serv-
ants they must correct their conduct
and place it on a plane of justice.
Where servants are treated with
even-handed justice and kindness
there is no problem.
A very successful mistress of a
home says that she never has any
trouble because, in addition to being
kind but just, pleasant but firm, she
has tact enough to run her house
hold exactly as she wishes, while at
the same time letting the servants
have the idea that they are running
it in their own way. There is great
merit in this idea. We commend it
to those who are struggling with the
problem. Young women in domes-
tic service desire to be treated Just
as other women are. They do not
desire fawning nor harshness, but
justice. Domestic servants get, all
things considered, the highest wages
paid to unskilled labor, male or fe-
male. If they were put on a busi-
ness basis the problem would be
greatly lessened in general, but as
to particular cases no rules can ap-
ply, and it is left to the mistress to
use as much common and uncommon
sense in her home as her husband
employs in his business.

CONCERNING SKIRTS

Skirts are being made slightly full
er than they were in the early part
of the season, but they are still cut
with the long slim lines which will
prevail during the fall season.
The popularity of the panel back
and front still holds. The newest
skirts have pleats inset at the sides
to give the desired fullness.
The raised waist line with an in
side belt to keep it firmly in place
is feature on the modish models.
Separate skirts are strictly tailor
ed, and those that don't show the
panel effect are either cut perfectly
plain, trimmed only with stitching or
have a simulated tunic effect OBJ
tanned by the use of the bands.

ZEBRAS IN AFRICA.
They Are Fearful Pest and Menace
to Civilization.

to Civilization.
Zebras in Africa are a nuisance and
a menace TO civilization, according to
John T. McCutcheon in Hunting Ad-
ventures In the Big Game Country"
He says:
Then there's the ubiquitous zebra.
You see vast herds of zebras at many
places along the railway, and there
after, as you roam about the level
spots of east Africa, you are always
running into herds Of them, At first
the sight of herd of zebras is a
surprise, for you have been accus-
toned to seeing them in the small
numbers found in captivity. 1t is a
source of passing wonder that these
rare animals should be roaming about
the suburbs of towns in hundred lots.
You decide that it would be a shame
to shoot a zebra and determine not to
join in this heartless slaughter.
Later on your sentiments will I'M
dergo q change. Everybody will tell
you that the zebra is a fearful pest
and must be exterminated if civiliZa-
ton and progress are to continue. The
zebra is absolutely useless. and efforts
to domesticate him have been without
good results. He tramps over the
plains. breaks down fences, tears up
the cultivated fields and really fulfills
no mission in life save that OF supply
ing the lions with food. As long as
the zebras stay the lions will be there.
but the settlers says that the lions are
even preferable to the zebras.
Under the old game ordinance eXDir-
ing December 10, 1909, a sportsman
was allowed two zebras under his
license. Under the new one he is al
lowed twenty! That reveals the atti-
tude of east Africa toward the jaunty
little striped pony
