lutions endorsing the fairness and JUS
tice with which Speaker Byrd had
guided the affairs of the House. II
was passed amid shouts OF applause.
Mr.. Bell insisted upon speaking TO
his resolution, and, finally reaching
Tennyson in the list OF poets. was
called upon for quotations. The Gull
peper delegate repeated among other
poems Crossing the Bar"
In the midst OF the poem T. w Mil
stead. of Newport News, rose TO a

faithfulness and ability OF John w
Williams, clerk OF the House. Mr. VII
Iiams in a short speech thanked the
House for It's considerat tion and said

accorded the privilege of the floor and
presented TO Mr. Byrd a handsome sill
yer pitcher. He declared to Mr. Byrd
that II the pages had been allowed 20
vote the tax commission and primary
bills would have been passed without
mutilation.
Mr.. Byrd expressed his appreciation
OF the gift and said he was sure the
bills would have passed II the pages
could have voted, for he agreed witfl
the Scripture that out Of the mouths OF
babes and sucklings much wisdom was
frequently heard.
He did not mean to say, however
that the pages were babes and suck
lings," for they were. ne said. the most
manly and efficient pages the House
had ever had.

HOW TO KILL CATERPILLknS.
Lettuce Leaves Recommended as a
Diet For the Pests.

1t begins TO look as if the destructive
brown tail and gypsy moths and the
pestiferous caterpillar have been con
quered at last, a simple diet of let
tuce leaves, it has been found. is the
easiest and best way to get rid Of
them. All that You have to do if the
caterpillars are spelling your shrubs
and trees IS to catch one or two of
them and feed them on some lettuce
that has been soaking in water four
days After they have eaten all they
care to. turn the caterpilars loose
again They will do the rest
The explanation is simple. 1t has
been discovered that watered lettuce
leaves give caterpillars the cholera
one caterpillar so infected quickly
spreads the disease among its fellows
In Massachusetts the epidemic is
spreading among caterpillars, brown
tails and gypsieS much to the delight
Of the state entomologists. who almost
deSpuired of ever getting rid Of the
pests
A caterpillar suffering from cater
pillar cholera or wilt disease soon
stops eating. according to the EXPLAIN.

OF Harvard 1t becomes weak and
lazy and usually craws up on some
object, as the trunk of tree, Il fence,
Il wall or other vertical surface, where
il remains without motion. In few
hours there drops from its mouth a
blackish liquid; the caterpillar becomes
more and more haccid. one leg after
another loses its support, AMI finally
