HE WAITER AND THE CELERY.

The following story is told in the
Saturday Evening Post about Rhine
lander Waldo who has just been ap-
pointed to the Police Commission
ership of New York:
One of the lobster palaces on
Broadway had bought an oversupply
of celery and the walters were given
instructions to rush celery on every
customer who would stand for it.
Fire Commissioner Waldo came in
with friend. The waiter asked
him what he would have.
Some oysters" said Waldo.
And some celery?" suggested the
waiter
mo, not a sprig. I don't want any
celery. / want some chicken gum
bo soup, strained"
with celery, of course" put in
the waiter.
''No; l tell you 1 don't want any
celery. And some shad."
with celery?" said the waiter.
mo celery-and a bit of the
roast"
Some celery would go fine with
that" said the waiter.
Forget the celery! Now, what
shall we have in the way of salad?"
DOhhS CSlSly Sdldu, SuSS6SI6u the
waiter.
Get out!" shouted Waldo, land
bring those oysters. If you put any
celery in I'll make you eat it,
The waiter brought the oysters and
again suggested celery, but was re-
buffed so earnestly he stood around
and cursed under his breath.
After he had brought the coffee,
Waldo saw the manager of the place.
Tom" he said, come here a min
ute
What is it, Mr.. Waldo?" asked
the manager.
TON, haven't I been a good GUS
toner of this placer"
None better, sir
Then, why is it I can't get what I
want?"
What is it you want, Mr.. Waldo?"
why, ever since l sat down l have
been trying to get little celery, but
all to no avail. What's the matter
with this restaurant? Haven't you
got any celery? If not why don't you
send out and get some?"
During this recital the face of the
manager changed from red to purple
of that rare old apoplectic tinge.
Here, you'll" he shouted to the
waiter. "Why didn't you get Mr..
Waldo some celery? What dye
mean by that sort of thing? Get
out of here -
The waiter was too quick for him,
however. AS Waldo was talking, he
took off his apron, threw it on the
floor and said:
Celery hey? Celery! Say, you!
l done everything to get him to take
celery but tyin' him to the chair an
gaggin' him wit it. Here's where 1
quit"
"Where are you going?" asked
Waldo.
"Goin'?" repeated the waiter, with
fine scorn. Coin? Why, I'm GO
in crazy. No, l amt; I'm gone al
ready. Celery! Celery! Who wants
the celery waiter?" And he vanish

THE TUSSOCK MOTH.

To a correspondent from Ohio,
who asked for definite directions for
destroying the Tussock moth, which
badly infested his trees last year,
Professor II. A. Surface, State Zoo
logist of Pennsylvania, said:
The Tussock moth, which is so
injurious to shade trees, especially
along streets, can be held in check
by spraying with arsenate of lead,
using about three pounds in fifty
gallons of water, which is practical
ly in the proportion of one ounce in
each gallon.
Spray thoroughly, with any kind
of an apparatus that will throw the
liquid over the leaves as a spray,
but be sure and do this while the
moths or larvae are yet young.
At the present time the Tussock
moth is in the egg stage, in the
white egg masses seen on the trunks
or branches of trees. The larvae
crawled to such spot, and there shed
its hairs, and spun it's loose cocoon,
making this of few silken threads
combined with spiny hairs.
Later the female moth came
from the cocoon as a wingless Great
ure, the males flying and mating.
The eggs were then deposited upon
the old cocoons, and covered with a
kind of white froth, which hardened
over them, and protected them, as
we now find them Along in May
the little larvae or worms will come
from these eggs, and commence feed
ing on the foliage.
THE best thing to do is to gather
these egg masses by hand now.
Where this cannot be done, it is
possible to reach them with a sponge
on the end of pole, dipping the
sponge into kerosene, and being
sure that each of the egg masses is
well touched with the oil. In order
to color it so that you can see which
have been treated as you go around
the trees, it is a good plan to use
lamp black in the kerosene oil.
IF for any reason all of the egg
masses are not removed or treated,
and the young should commence to
feed on the foliage, it is important
to spray them with an arsenical poi
son, just as soon as possible, because
the younger they are the easier they

years or so ago, even though they
are now forgotten. Yates ordered
ny will tnat his jugular vein be
severed and he covered the cost of
the operation by a bequest of 500.
I hese are few illustrations of
this distressing apprehension which
have come to the general knowledge
and it is likely that any doctor
whose practice has been extended
could out of his own experience add
many others to the list.
People dread being buried alive,
because no Imagination can con-
ceive a more awful fate and be-
cause every once in while it is
reported that, some coffin having
been opened, the disposition of the
Oody within it exhibited indications
OF a struggle. The feeling is that
as such an examination is exceed
ingly rare there is no telling how
frequently the same thing may have
happened in the millions of cases
which have been unobserved. OF
course, the chance of a premature
burial is so remote as not to be
worth taking into account. To the
expert eye the signs OF death are
both unmistakable and infallible,
and even where there have been in
dications of movement succeeding
inhumation it does not follow that
there was conscious struggle.
Yet the apprehension is one which
reason is powerless to remove and
no argument will so effectually re-
lieve those whom it affects as the
taking of some appropriate precau-
on.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

THE DREAD OF PREMATURE
BURIAL.

Gustav Mailer, who died the 9TH
er day, is said to have requested that
his heart be pierced with a needle
in order to assure the fact of death
beyond the possibility of a doubt.
The public only hears of such a re-
quest when it is made by some
person of prominence, and if the
truth could be ascertained it would
probably be found that the dread of
a premature burial is widely pre-
yalent. 1t may be an unreasonable
dread, but it unquestionably exists
to a very considerable extent, nor
is it confined to ignorant or sensi-
tive or foolishly imaginative per-
sons. Harriet Martineau, the fam
Gus writer and philosopher was a
particularly clear-headed and
strong-minded person whom no one
would accuse of being fanciful, and
yet she left instructions by will that
her body be decapitated before in
terment and she bequeathed fifty
dollars to the doctor who should
perform the gruesome operation.
Another well-known woman who
was similarly obsessed was Lady
Burton, wife and widow of the dis
tinguished Orientalist and explorer
She so greatly feared the possibility
of a premature burial that she en-
joined the piercing of her heart be-
fore her death was so much as GER
titled and ordered that her body be
subsequently subjected to a post
mortem examination. Still another
who took a like precaution was Ed.
mund Yates, author of various nov.
els which had a great sale forty

Business is Struggle.
Business is a fight-a continual
struggle just as life is. Man has
reached his present degree of de-
velopment through struggle.
Struggle there must be and al
ways will be. The struggle began as
purely physical. AS man evolved
it shifted ground to the mental, the
psychic, and the spiritual, with a
few dashes of caveman proclivities
still left. But depend upon it, the
struggle will always be-life is
activity. And when it gets to be a
struggle in well-doing, it will still
be a struggle. When inertia gets
the better of you, it is time to tele-
phone the undertaken. The only
real neutral in this game of life is
a dead one.
Eternal vigilance is not only the
price of liberty, but of every other
good thing. A business that is not
safeguarded on every side by active,
alert, attentive, vigilant men is
gone. AS oxygen is the disintegrat-
ing principle of life, working night
and day to dissolve, separate, pull
apart and dissipate, so there is
something in business that continu-
ally tends to scatter, destroy and
shift possession from this man to
that. A million mice nibble eter-
nally at every business venture. The
mice are not neutrals, and if enough
employees in a business house are
neutrals, the whole concern will
eventually come tumbling about
their ears. l like that order of
Field-Marshal Oyama: "Give every
honorable neutral that you find in
our lines the honorable jiu-iitsu
