Priscilla

Thus for while he stood, and unused
by the shore of the ocean
Thinking of many things, and most OF
all of Priscilla;
And as If thought had the power to
draw to itself, like the lodestone,
Whatsoever it touches, by subtle laws
Of its nature.
Lo! as he turned to depart Priscilla
was standing beside him.
Are you so much offended, you viii
not speak to me?" said she.
Am so much to blame, that yester-
day, when you were pleading
Warmly the cause Of another, my
heart, impulsive and hayward,
Pleaded your own, and spake out. sor-
getful perhaps of decorum?
Certainly you can forgive me for
speaking so frankly, for saying
What l ought not to have said. yet
now l can never unsay It.:
For there are moments in life, when
the heart is so full of emotion.
That If by chance it be shaken. or
into its depths like pebble
Drops some careless word, 1t overdows,
and its secret,
Split on the ground like water, can
never be gathered together.
Yesterday was shocked, when
heard you speak Of Miles Stand
ish,
Praising his virtues, Transforming his
very defects into virtues,
Praising his courage and strength.
and even his fighting in Flanders,
AS If by fighting alone you could win
the heart of woman,
Quite overlooking yourself and the
rest, in exalting your hero.
Therefore I spake as did. by an ir-
resistible impulse.
You will forgive me, hope, for the
sake of the friendship between US,
Which Is too true and too sacred to
be so easily broken!"
Thereupon answered John Alden, the
scholar, the friend of Miles Stand
ish:
II was not angry with you. with my
self alone was angry,
Seeing how badly managed the mat
ter had in my keeping"
, mol" interrupted the maiden, with
answer prompt and decisive;

speaking SO frankly and freely.

Is the fate of woman
Long to be patient and silent, to wait
like a ghost that is speechless.
Till some questioning voice dissolves
the spell of it's silence.
Hence is the inner life of so many
suffering women
Sunless and silent and deep, like sub
terranean rivers
Running through caverns of darkness,
unheard, unseen. and unfruitful.

Doubtless you have observed that
the appies on some Of your trees were
dropping on, and at the Towering end
there were little patches Of brown
dust.
The dropping Of the apples was
cansed BY the codling- moth, and the
matches OF brown dust were the void
ings of the worm as It bored its way
into the fruit.
The codling-moth spends the winter
as tiny worm, securely wrapped up
In an overcoat Of silk, In barrels. boxes
and under the bark OF trees. and IN
the warm days OF spring they come
out transformed as moths. These
moths mate quickly and the females
at once begin to lay their eggs on the
smooth surface Of the apple trees.
They never make mistake a. to
the location Of their eggs. but always
lay. them upon those leaves nearest to
the fruit. The eggs are about as big
as pinhead: look like little specks
of milk. Sometimes they are SO tiny
that they can hardly be discovered.
After three or four days they turn
reddish. and at the end OF week the
tiny black head Of a worm appears.
The eggs hatch in about seven days
generally when the apples are about
one-half inch in diameter.
AS soon as the worm comes from
the egg 1t launches lightly on the
leaves and then enters the apple. The
worms first Matched generally enter
the fruit at the calyx or towering end.
The worms bore their way into the
apples until they reach the seed, and
sometimes they destroy almost the en-
tire core.
In about two weeks, after having
effectually damaged the apple, they
crawl out. wrap themselves In new
overcoats, where they are transformed
as papae. Two weeks later the little
moths emerge and lay their eggs,
which In turn hatch out another set
of worms and thus the second genera
ton Is born.
The government estimates that the
fruit growers OF this country lose
about twelve million dollars every
year from the ravages Of this single
