"Oh. please tell us where the Teddy
Bchr' team ia playing" said two young
women to Ben. the doorkecper at the
eth Regiment Armory. yesterday morn
ing, while the national indoor lawn
tennis championship tournament was
being played on the armory courts.
Ben looked puzzled at the question.
Excuse me. miss, but this IL a tennis
tournament. and there aren't any
Teddy bears allowed In here" he said.
But the much befurred young
women insisted that the team must be
In the tournament, because they had
read II In the papers. 1--WE Just know
Teddy Peli and Karl Behr are going
TO play In the doubles" they replied.
Then Ben. who follows indoor lawn
tennis matters closely, nodded his head
knowingly. ooh. yes; you mean Mr..
Pcll and Mr.. Behr. but the doubles
won't start until Monday" he an
swered.
Last summer. while they were play

ments. Pell and Behr were christencd

Dogs of High Degree
Struggle for Awards

Lloyd, Walescott Emroy Rhea, one of
the best bodied specimens extsnt, won
comfortably from the Early Bird pair,
Jeanie and Ornsay Annie.
In West Highland white terriers
Robert Goelet won in dogs with MATS
ter of Glenmere, and in bitches with
Butterscotch, which many thought
lucky to beat the same owners Hussy
of Glenmore.
A fine entry Of bulldogs greeted A. H.
Stewart, of Chicago, who made his de-
but here as judge of the breed. He
handled the we'll filled classes with
great care and pleased the majority.
Best of the breed went to Woodend
Joan, which beat the winning dog, Cos
well Monarch, shown by John Collins,
of Brooklyn, which had little to spare
in beating the we'll known champi n,
Baron Beaming, which, with his kennel
mate, Champion Florence Bundha, won
easily for the best pair.
Winners classes for miniature bull
dogs was introduced here. Woodcraft
Model won rightly in dogs, but for
bitches such specimens as Chapel
Shrimp and Cypress Queen. while show
ing type, are hardly up to champion
ship form.
Hopton q Busy Judge.
Sporting spaniels, judged by Charles
G. Hopton, had some class. The best
in black dogs went to Midkiff Kermit,
rare sort, which beat Cassilis Dark
Deal in front and body.
The Mepal Kennels, owned by II. X.
Bloodgood, won handily In bitches with
a grand parti-color, Mepals Ume, which
was voted the best of the breed.
Whippets and greyhounds, also
judged by Mr.. Hopton, were supposed
to bring out some fun. Ben Lewis en-
tered all of his champions, which were
handled by strangers. The scheme was
to fool the judge, but it failed. Lans-
downe Artemis won easily in dogs,
while the best in bitches was Lans-
downe Lottie, which scored in loin and
quarters.
Vernon Castle had a great entry in
German sheepdogs to Judge, and he
Throop pair, Minka Affolter and Nero

FIGHT AGAINST SAN
JOSE SCALE in FALL
Lime-Sulphur Mixture Is Stand
ard Remedy-May Be Bought
or Prepared at Home.

The fight against the San Jose scale
can begin as soon as the leaves drop.
The standard remedy Is lime-sulphur.
A ready-prepared form of this mixture
may be had of seedsmen or dealers, or
you can make it at home by using the
following formula. Stake % pounds
of fresh lump lime in the vessel in
which the mixture is to be boiled, u.s.
ing only enough water to cover the
lime. Add II pounds of sulphur Glow
ers or powdered), having previously
mixed it in a paste with water. Then
boil the mixture for about an hour
in ten gallons of water, using an iron
(not copper vessel. Next add
enough more water to make in all so
gallons. Strain through wire sieve or
netting, and apply while mixture is
still warm. A good high-pressure
pump is essential to satisfactory work.
For large, high trees it is necessary
to have an extension rod, an extra
length of hose, and an elevated plat
form built on the wagon upon which
the operator can stand. Oftentimes
each line of hose supplies a cluster of
nozzles-two, or three, or even four;
and for extensive work there may be
several lines of hose running from the
same pump, with an operator for each.
Thus one man may be spraying the
lower part of the tree from the ground,
while another man sprays the upper
part of the tree from the tower.
Motor goggles are a great help in
protecting the eyes from the solution
when spraying.

VERY COMMON PEST
in MANY DISTRICTS
Pear Leaf Blister Mites Hide
Themselves in Winter in
Rough Bark of Trees.

tBy DIR. A. L. M+2GANDER, Entonlolog-
list, Washington Experiment Station)
Pear leaf blister mite is a very COM
mon pest in many districts. 1t causes
the leaves to blacken in spots where
the mite is present. These blackened
spots represent gals or swellings of
the leaf tissue in the center of which
the mite resides. When first forming
these gals are blisterlike and reddish
in color. While mainly abundant on
pear, the blister mite also may attack
the apple, in which case the gals are
brown in color. During the summer
time the mites live entirely in the bis
tiers, producing eggs and young there
in. At the approach of cold weather
the mites migrate to the bark of the
tree, hiding themselves in rough bark
around buds and twigs.
The best control measure seems to
be a spraying CT sulphur-lime given in
early spring, when the buds are
swelling. After the mites have entered
the leaf tissue they cannot be exter-
minated, although spraying with col
lcidal sulphur is claimed to afford
some relief. This finely divided sui
phur keeps the mites from spreading,
especially to the fruit. In case of bad
infestation the fruit is scared with
similer blisters.

When CYPRUS Had Poom.

For a quarter-century Cyprus has al
most vanished from view. But it had
a tremendous vogue III the days when
Lord Beaconsfield brought Peace
with honor" from the Berlin congress
of 1878. For shortly afterwards came
the news that Cyprus, commanding
the eastern Mediterranean and the
Suez route to India, had become a
British protectorate; and the nation
went dizzy" with delight at the pyro-
technic policy of our imaginative pre-
mier There was quite rush of en-
terprising young men to the island for
a year or SO. But it's coast could not
provide harbors to supersede Malta,
and-Cyprus was left to go its quiet
way.-LondOn Daily Chronicle

WAR AGAINST FARM
AND GARDEN PESTS
Cleanup in Fall Is Recommended
as Good Means of Attack
Burn Trash of All Kinds.

(By F. L. WASHBURN, State Entomol-
ogist, University Farm, St. Paul,
Minn.)
In the war against farm and garden
pests fall cleanup is a good means of
attack
Fall blowing is generally recognized
as a good method for the prevention of
insect injury, but rubbish left in piles
along fences, or in fence corners, or
in the orchard or kitchen garden,
make the best kind of winter quarters
for insect pests in various stages.
Trash of this kind should be cleared
away, preferably by burning, as such
burning destroys any insects among
the rubbish.

one or more years, we work the patch
over as soon as the crop has been re-
moved, so that the new plants may
find soil in suitable condition for
starting into growth. 1t is especially
necessary that the cultivator should be
kept going almost constantly during
the month of August. Leaf blight has
bothered us some, and we believe one
reason for the running out of varie-
We spray with the bordeaux mixture
but in spite of the spray we some
times suffer loss by the disease For
applying the mixture to the various
bush fruits we use knapsack spray
er, spraying first on one side of the
other side, so as to be sure to reach
every leaf of the plants.
Applying Fertilizer.
The best time Of applying fertilizer
to bush fruit is in the fall. We use
rotten stable manure. We have found
it a good idea to SOW oats to keep
down the weeds after the cultivation
ceases in the fall. When the oats are
killed by severe freezing they will
make good mulch and protect the
plants during the winter. Winter pro-
lection is quite necessary to the straw
berry in this section, as they will be
sure to winterkill when the tempera-
ture goes to zero or below, and the
ground is not covered with snow. In
the case of the other bush fruits win
terkill is not very frequent. The
fruit garden on the farm deserves
much more attention than it usually
gets, and if the foregoing precaution
and care is given, there will be fewer
complaints against it.

Ship Leaped Over Torpedo.

Capt ]. w. Bell of the British steam
ship Rio Larges, was in New York re-
Gently wearing the medal awarded by
King George for distinguished service.
The captain was also voted $4,000 by
the British admiralty for sinking the
first German submarine lost in the
war.
On February 20 Captain Bell, in
charge of the Thordis, a steamship of
LOCO tons, was proceeding to an Eng
fish port when he sighted the peri
scope Of submarine off Beachy head.
An instant later torpedo was sent
at the Thordis. Captain Bell ordered
full steam ahead and in the rough sea
managed to jump the torpedo, as his
boat leaped the waves while the tor
pedo kept it's own level. Captain Bell
then rammed the submarine and sank
her.

Cacao Used as Currency,

Cacao passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta. in
1910, tells us the Indians used none
of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead of money they use cacao."
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used "cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-
chased for 100 of them.-London
Chronicle.

Some people cannot understand how

and feel herself slowly ossifying into
