Some Old Typosr.ph,c., Customs.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--,Sfr: I have been
reading book printed In the eighteenth century,
being the account OF some travels by one Brydone
F. II. s.. In the island Of Sicily; very intcrestns
work but confusing TO read on account Of the
peculiar method Of substituting Il" for IS" In
many OF the words.
lwritc to ask II you can give some reason why
this was done, The letter Is" Is used wherever
necessary to form the plural. they must have
had the type. Imagine running across a word
like this: fofteft.
Another popularity Of this work Is that under
the righ, hand end Of the last line on each page
Is printed the word that will appear again at
the beginning OF the nrst line on the next page
Perhaps some Of your readers can give some
explanation OF this. JOHN GRAHAM.

For the Onion Worm

1t appears that the onion plants
are unusually badly attacked this
year by maggots or worms which
feed within them,
A prominent horticulturist in
the eastern part of Pennsylvina
wrote to State Zoologist Surface,
at Harrisburg. asking what to do
for this pest, and received the fol-
lowing reply which will be read
with interest by all persons who
have gardens:
'"The insect attacking your onions
is, no doubt, the onion Maggot or
onion Worm. it is best prevented by
pouring quart of kerosene oil into
a half bushel of sand and stirring it
we'll and scattering it over the
ground around the plants at the
time the onions are set out, this
repels the fly which lays the egg
from which the maggot matches.
There is no remedy after the onion
is once infested, The addition of a
little turpentine to the kerosene also
increases the repelling value, The
sand can be scattered very thinly
indeed quite near to the newly set
plants or onion SETS

Antitoxin for Fourth of July

The 81 tetanus antitoxin stations
throughout the Commonwealth have
received their supplies from the De-
partment of Health and are ready
to meet the usual Fourth of July
demands.
The antitoxin will be furnished
without cost to the poor and the
stations are so located that every
part of Pennsylvania is within easy
reach of one. 1t is essential that
the tetanus antitoxin be admins
tered within "a to 4S hours after
the wound has been inflicted.
Any physician can secure an i'm
munixing dose of 1900 units free
upon applying to a distributing
station, on certifying that it is for
the treatment of person too poor
to pay.
In urging the prompt use of an
titoxin to prevent lock-jaw follow
ing explosive and other wounds,
DR.. Dixon Commissioner of Health
says:
"Do not consider any such
wounds trivial, send for physician
at once. If it is impossible to
promptly secure his attendance,
wash out the wound thoroughly
with hot, boiled water, remove
every particle OF foreign matter and
until the doctor arriver, apply a
wet dressing; cloths saturated with
a solution made by adding tea
spoon full of salt to a pint of boiled
water"
The Antitoxin is in the hands of
A. III. Buschhausen, Laporte, for
Sullivan County and can be gotten

Towanda, June 25.-The East

was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The blaze started about
Lao and at $3.50 a. m. the three
story building was in ruins.
The origin of the blaze is un-
known. The building has not been
occupied in some time, and the sup.
position is that the fire was started
by tramps sleeping in the building.
The blaze seemed to originate in a
room on the third floor in the south

To Produce Good Grapes

A Lebanon county grape grower
wrote to Prof. Fl. A. Surface, and
asked him whether he should spray
his grapes or bag them. The re-
ply of Professor Surface is as follows:
'It is possible to spray your
grapes with arsenate of lead and
Bordeaux mixture and have good
results. Use three pounds of blue
stone and three pounds of lime in
fifty gallons of water to make the
Bordeaux mixture. To this add
two pounds of arsenate of lead.
Spraying once every two or three
weeks during the principal part of
the growing season will be sufficient,
and will give you good returns.
"Of course, putting them in paper
bags gives excellent protection, and
if person has only a few vines, I
would recommend bagging them.
This is done by pinninga two-pound
bag around each cluster of grapes
shortly after the blossoms fall. 1t
keeps away insects and disease
germs, and also it keeps the grapes
nice and clean. When you have
more than can be economically bag
ged, the best treatment is to spray
them well and thoroughly"
