THE GREED OF cUrwoRMs.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside. the national farm paper pub nsfed at Springfield, Ohio, a contrib utor writes a, highly entertaining and practically helpful article about cut worms. The ravages of cutworrns are fully described and definite sugges- tions as to how to get rid of them are reported Some of the remark able facts about cutworrns are tnclud- ed in the following extract taken from the article:
 ssCutworns are true burglars.
 ssAs long as the day lasts they re- main in hiding under sticks, stones, or trash-or even below the surface o1 the ground; and as soon as night falls they come forth to steal the lives of tender plants
 "It is a wise precaution on the part of these insect burglars to hide dur ing the day, for they are smooth and plump and just the sort of titbit birds are always looking for. If these night-prowling rascals would only stop and satisfy their hunger by eat ing the plants as they cut them down They go on appeasing their voracious appetites with merely what they bite out in cutting down the plants; thus dozen plants lie flat and wilted in inc morning sun, sacrificed for one late dinner.
 ssIn this respect the cutworms re- semble dogs which kill more sheep in a flock than they can eat.''

old age because of her infirmities, and being forced to pay strangers HberalIy for every hands. turn they did for her, little by little, the full amount of her savings. She knew too late marriage would have been best ss
 The great singer, the artist. teacher. stenographer, she who is engaged in any noney-making career, should re- a.li2e that her years for making and saving money are all too few. What then? A lonely and disappointed life if she must carry her burden the rest of the way alone
 Taken all in all. marriage is the best carer a woman can engage in for happiness at a time she needs it most. One cannot engage in business pur- siuts and attend to rearing a family at home at one and the same time, but home life is best. The love which shell ters a woman therein is worth all the wealth the world holds or the world wide plaudits of a, f1ckle public.

LAWN TENNIS AS A
 SISSIF1ED GAME.

A recent remark quoted from Rev. Billy Sunday was to the effect that lawn tennis is a little too sissffied'' a game to please him. If Billey he might soon find himself more winded than he ever got on the ball field.
 Lawn tennis constantly grows in popularity, owing to it's adaptabiIty to limited spaces. It requires no costly grounds, running into the thou sands or tens of thousands, like golf. The ordinary suburban back yard is apt to be big enough. While a good court may cost a hundred or two dollars or more, an inexpensive lay out can be had for much less. So although it used to be called the stdude game,'' it has the qualities of a very democratic sport.
 The real objection to lawn tennis is quite the opposite of that stated by Billy Sunday. It is so very active that few men play it after they have middle age. The long rallies, when a ball is kept seesawing back and forth over the net into different corners of the court, will run the breath out of any but a. man who is well in train ing.
 It is more fatiguing than running on a. straight track could be. The player must first sprint in one di- 1OCLAOA, I41SAA pdA4 0Ps AOOONO OA balance and run back again. The irregular and intense activity calls for high degree of nervous control and muscular endurance.
 No game is more practical for phy- cal development of young people. Played in groups of two, three, or four people, it calls for no elaborate machinery of organization. The ath- Ietic candidates that are dishearfened by rejection from a school or college ball team, can resort to the tennis court, and get a better physical de velopment, than would have secured on the diamond. In most schools the number ofN tennis players is usually limited only by the number of courts which are commonly too few. Prob ably the time will come when tennis will be the usual outdoor adjunct tc public high schools.

 There are those who disapprove of pretty young actresses tying them selves down in wedlock to a husband whom they must live the greater part their profession. At fve-and-twenty they are at the zenith of their youthful beauty. They are far happier single, with the whole world signing at their feet-that is the opinion of the great public.

It is only necessary for the dogs master to carry around an electric light. a pocket search light, or something of the kind to cause the dog to follow him.
