Young Woman Claims to Have Ex-
listed on Fifty Cents a Week.

ithaca, N. Y, July 1.-THE rec
ord in low cost OF living which a
Cornell freshman set by living on 85
cents a week last winter, has been
broken by Clara s. Loewus, of To-
wanda, Pa, who claims to have lived
at the rate of SO cents a week for
her food for the last twenty weeks.
She is a student of the violin at
the Ithaca Conservatory. Her daily
menu is cup of tea, two slices of
bread with peanut butter and a cup
of cocoa for breakfast, one boiled po-
tato with butter and two slices of
bread with peanut butter for dinner.
AS an occasional treat on Sundays
she has had few tomatoes and oc-
casionally an egg, but all within the
$40 limit for twenty weeks.
Miss Loewus is five feet tall and
weighs 115 pounds and Is in the best
Of health despite her restricted fare.
She won scholarship in the conser-

n. Y. BOY WITH NAIL IN LUNG.
There -Four Years, But is Now Out,
and He is All Right.

Since he was seven, eleven-year-
old Eddie Munson, a New York boy,
has been hitching ON ice carts, slid
ing on sleds, playing one old cat and
disporting generally in the hair
trigger style of kids, and all tho
time with nail in his left lung. 1t
Is true that all the time he coughed
a little-and it got worse (the
couh few months ago. His par
ents then worried. The first doctor
who saw Eddie said he didn't have
consumption-tha was sure; he
probably only had a slight cold. But
he began to cough and cough and
cough. Another doctor applied the
X-ray. When the doctor got his
proofs of the X-ray photograph he
demanded of Eddie's mother:
See here, did that kid ever swal-
low anything besides food-any-
thing, If may ask, in the nature OF
a nail?"
"Oh, dear me-" cried Mrs. Munson,
why, 1T couldn't be that nail! Ed
die swallowed it four years ago.
But
My dear madam" said the physi-
clan reassuringly, Eddie Is the sort
of child who could eat tacks. Com
sumption! Huh! Anaemic--booh!
This young gentleman has been
sporting q nail in his lungs; but.
In
say that his coffin nails are nowhere
due yet-about ninety years off."
So Eddie, was placed on an operat-
ing table, the SURGEON pried the nail
out of Eddie's left lung, and Eddie
had chicken and Ice cream for din
ner, and said that his chief sorrow
was that he wanted that nail to show
his pals, and the doctor wouldn't give
it to him.

Government IMPORTS Seed from old
World for People of Nation.

Washington, July 2.--The depart
ment of agriculture, through several
Of its experts, has been hunting
through the old world for varieties
of plants, fruits, grasses and the
like that will do well in the United
States, and the hunt has been quite
successful. A number of grasses pc
culiarly adapted to the Southern
States have been imported, various
kinds of fruits that will do we'll in
the dry, sandy soil of Arizona and
fruits that are hardy and will thrive
In the States of the North. The list
OF tmportations has been published
by the department in pamphlet.
Many of the new specimens have
come from China, Turkestan, Rus
sia, India, Sp2ih end Mexico. From
Mexico have come varieties of april
cots and pouches which flourish In
the mountain regions. They are late
In ripening. and it is said will greatly
enrich the Southern peach belt
Taken at random from the list the
following are noted as some of the
new imp lortations:
A wills apple, from Sarepta, in
Phenicia, town mentioned in the
Old Testament. This apple is espe-
cially valuable for its drought-resist-
ant qualities, and will flourish in the
Southwest drought regions Of the
United States.
A golden currant from the region
OF Kozlov, Russia. This currant will
fiuorish in any of the Northern States
and Canada.
A remarkable new yellow lily, the
bulbs Of which weigh as much as six
pounds each.
An ornamental elm, mostly adapt
ed to tropical countries. This tree
will be Of particular value in certain
portions Of the Plain States.
A cucumber-like vine from Zanzi-
barbearing fruit weighing 60 pounds,
from the seed of which an excellent
culinary oil may be extracted.
An apricot of good flavor and large
in size, which withstands the wint-
ers of Central Russia.
1t is the purpose of officials of the
department of agriculture to encour-
age the testing of these new varieties,
and to superintend the experimental
work wherever this is possible. Some
of the experiments have been begun
with the present growing season, but
1t will require several years before
they can be brought to a successful
conclusion.

18TH BRrpE oE WHINE HousR.
Lucky "i3" Seems TO Apply to the
Whole Family.

Washington. JuIv 4.-President
Wilson's declaration chat the gene

with the announcement of the en-
gagement OF Miss Jessie Wilson, Sec

g'he Cotton Root Louise.

CW. a, Thomas, Field Entomologist.
Clemson College. July Especial:
For several years past this insect has
been recognized as more or less Sc
rious pest to young cotton plants. The
insect ia known to occur throughout
South Carolina, but seems to assume
the role Of um important insect pest
to cotton only in the coast and near
coast counties of the State. In these
counties the injury seems to be in
creasing with each succeeding year.
The present season has been very
favorable for the root louise develop
ment, and consequently the injury to
cotton has been unusually severe.
The insect is easily recognized by its
position on the plant and by being
of blush color, less than 1892 of an
inch in length. it is somewhat SINH
lar to the ordinary cotton leaf louise
which causes the cotton leaves to
curl mp during cool, moist weather.
The injury is occasioned by the small
insects sucking the juice from the
young tap roots of the cotton, caus-
lng them to die. An infested plant
is easily recognized by the stunted
and wilted appearance Of the foliage.
In their activity the root lice are de-
pendent upon the ants as a means of
travelling from one plant to another
and consequently the farmer must
look upon the ants as enemies in
stead of friends.
Temporary Control Measures.
In the spring as soon as the ants
are noticed excavating about the
| young cotton plants begin a system
Of shallow cultivation as rapidly as
possible. The infested cotton should
be cultivated at least once week
during dry weather and as soon as
the soil will permit after every rain.
In this way the ants are thoroughly
disorganized and must turn their at
tention to organization instead Of
nursing the cotton root lice-hence
their progress Is greatly retarded.
| This process should be kept up until
| the cotton is thoroughly established
| in the soil and in thrifty, growing
condition.
BY far the most satisfactory means
| OF controlling the cotton root louse
yet found Is by following carefully
planned system OF rotation of at least
three years duration. This system
should be planned in such a way as
to prevent cotton from following
either cotton or corn, but crop of
small grain and COW pea hay should
| precede a crop of cotton on badly in
tested lands. The following three
year rotation system has been used
with marked success on the farm of
Judge @. A. Woods at Marion: Corn
followed by oats and cowpea hay, fol-
lowed by cotton the third year This
system has been followed on an orig
inally badly infested field for the
past i've years and as result the
root louse injury has been reduced
to practically nothing.
1t is of immense value to have q
winter cover crop upon the infested
land at all times, as it prevents the
winter food plants of the cotton root
louise from growing upon the land
This naturally reduces the infesta-
tion for the following spring.
So far all repellents against this
insect have been of little value as
remedial measures.

Benjamin John Was Found Guilty of
Killing Nj. Simon.

Camden, July 10.-Benjamin John
was convicted of murder this after
noon with recommendation to mercy.
The crime that John was convicted
of was very brutal one. He came
to Camden several months ago with
fellow Turk named Michael Simon,
claiming to represent a Christian
college in Turkey, and solicited
funds for same. The two left Cam
den, walking towards Lugoff, on the
Seaboard Railway. When near the
swamps Of the Wateree river John
is alleged to have shot his compan-
ion and put his body in culvert and
fed He was captured later ON the
train near Bethune.
A chain of evidence was worked
around him which resulted in his
conviction. Johns defense was that
Simon attempted to cut him with
knife, and that he shot him in self
defense.

(CharleSton News and COurier.)
Five stitches were taken in the
heart of Richard Bailey, colored, Sat
uMay night at Roper Hospital, the
extraordinary operation being per-
formed by Drs. McInnes, Pearlstine
and Edgerton. The wounded man
was last night reported to be doing
very nicely, with excellent prospects
FOR his recovery. Bailey was stab
bed In the left breast by James War
ing about o'clock Saturday night.
A large pocket knife inflicted a very
ugly wound, the heart being injured
Dy the point of the blade. A hurry
call for an ambulance was made and
Bailey was rushed to the hospital,
where the surgeons hastened prepa-
fations to operate on him.
The wound was in Bailey's left
centricle. 1t was about an inch in
extent The man was unconscious
from thu shock and from loss of
blood tefore reaching the hospital.
AN exc Inination showed the grave ma
ture or the wound and the surgeons
decided that the only way to save his
lie was to sew up the cash In the
heart. This operation was perform

that Bailey would recover, it being
expected that his progress will be
quite swift considering the nature Of
his wound.
Kept Finger in Hole.
Because of the great amount of
blood which the patient had lost and
the resulting weakness, DR.. McInnes
decided to inject through the mans
veins a quantity Of normal salt solu-
tion to replace the lost blood. After
this was done and the man was made
ready for the operation, the work
done by the doctors in charge was of
the swiftest sort conceivable. One
of them held his finger IN the hole
in the mans heart while the stitches
were being taken, in order that the
blood might not flow at each pulsa-
tion in the arteries. The operation
is the first of it's kind ever to have
been performed successfully in Char
lesion and one of very small num-
Der that have been performed sue
cessfully in the world.
