The Bishop and the Boy.

An American gentleman was once
entertaining an English bishop
The boy who was to wait upon the
bishop during the visit. was charged
to always address him as my lord +"
The bishop wished to be called a
certain hour next morning. A
knock was heard at the door
who is it?" said the bishop.
The Lord. my boy" was the re-
ply.
AS the English prelate had a
sense of humor, he related the
incident to his host. The latter
had an interview with the boy and
admonished him to be more care
full in the future. A dinner was
given in honor of the bishop.
Seeing on the table a dish which
looked unfamiliar to him he quietly
beckOned to the boy and asked him
what it was. The boy all eagerness
to do the right thing this time, an
swered, my God, it's. lobsterI"

How To Spray For San Jose Scale
By Leonard Haseman.


With the approach of spring ev-
cry fruit grower begins to inquire
if the fruit buds are still alive and
to wonder if they are going to
escape the late frosts. A far more
important matter which be should
consider is tina question of whether
or not his trees are infested with
San Jose Scale. While it is now
late to attempt to control the pest
with prompt action there is yet
time to save many orchards
When the trees are in leaf the scale
successfully and by the time the
leaves are off again next fall many
valuable trees will have been de-
stroyed.
The only practical method known
for controlling this pest in the
orchard is spraying with very con-
entrated solutions during the dor
mant season. For this purpose,
either lime-sulphur or one of the
soluble oils especially prepared for
controlling it may be used First
make sure if the scale is present
on the trees and if it is proceed at
once to spay. At any time send sam
pies of twigs and bark to the
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Columbia, Missouri if you do not
know the scale. Before the middle
of April the fruit buds are almost
sure to open so there is no time to
lose.
For a small orchard a BARRE
is sufficient. tho for an orchard Of
ten or twenty acres larger outfit
is necessary. In order to hasten
matters simply order the necessary
amount of commercial lime-sulphuI
thru a local merchant. This
should be diluted with water al
the rate of one gallon of the solution
to about eight gallons of water
before applying it. At this strength
it must not be used after the leaves
are out.
When spraying keep in mind
. that the solution you are to use

Port Stanley, the capital of the Falk-

tery much resembling some of the vii
lagos in the 0rkneys and Shetlands.
The houses occupied by the govern.
ment officials and the chief employees
of the Falkland Islands company are
stone built. with slate roofs. but most
of the others are built of driftwood
and old ships timbers. The country
round Port Stanley is a huge peat mo-
rass, more or less impossible, accord
ing TO the time OF year. and there are
no roads fit for vehicular traffic lead
ing out of the town. Throughout the
whole of the islands there are no trees
Indigenous TO the soil. and the tallest
plants, except n species known as tus-
sock grass. which grows from six to ten
feet high. do not exceed the height OF
the common English furZe. Agricul-
ture is virtually impossible. for wheat
will never ripen and oats, rye and bar
ley but seldom. Potatoes are unknown
as a crop. and the ordinary English
vegetables will not mature.-Pall Mall

Why You Wink.

The unconscious act OF winking
bears a quite important relation to the
welfare Of the eye. This being the
most delicate and sensitive organ OF
the body exposed TO the air, It is In
constant need Of the protection given
by the eyelids. which not only close
quickly at the approach OF danger, but
are employed in washing the surface
OF the eye. MOistening is required TO
Offset the drying effect Of the air and
cleaning to prevent the injurious effect
of dirt. Every time you wink the eye
is washed. Inside the eye is the little
tear gland. which. as its name implies,
is busy storing up the supply OF tears
This gland keeps the inside of the lid
moist. and you wink automatically
whenever the surface of the eye be
comes dry or a particle Of dust or any
thing else strikes it. This work is
done as often as necessary, and &c
realize how often 1t is necessary try
how long you can keep your eyes open
without winking.

Science and Discoveries.

There is a widespread but erroneous

a scientific discoverer and then say to
him Discover ME this or Discover me

greatly desired piece of new knowl-
edge) and that he will %thereupon pro-
coed right away to make the discovery
which you want -" But a valu-
able and important scientific discovery
cannot be produced directly in response
to orders given and money expended.
you cannot manufacture scientific
discovery like soap. The great diff
Guilty. in the first place, Is to catch that
rare and evasive creature-a scientific
discoverer-and when you have found
him you have to humor him and let
him do as he fancies. Then he will
discover things, but probably not the
things which either you or he wanted

He Had Found His Specially.

A London contemporary tells the fol-

widow. She died. Again he sought a
bride with a large dover and again
became a widOwer. Then he thought
he would return TO his long neglected
profession. He approached an old
friend who had meanwhile become a
judge of the supreme court and asked
what. in his opinion, would be the
wisest course for him to pursue. stick

dollar, Comes From Dutch.

The abbreviation 'Ps.," to signify
pesos, was the origin of the American
dollar mark, according to a Spanish
American scientist. When America
was first settled the Dutch and the
Spanish were strong competitors for
the trade of the world. The word dol
lar Is but a corruption Of the Dutch
''thaler" or ''thaller." a coin much used
in commerce at that period and which
superseded the pieces of eight" Of
Spanish coinage. The peso or plaster.
which was the Spanish name for
pieces of eight" was worth approx
mately the same as the thaler. and as
the Dutch name was easier to say it
found a place in our language in the
corrupted form. while the abbreviation
for the peso remained as the sole re-
minder of the Spanish mintage in our

away from the fact that they are peo-

seeking to be magnates and bosses and
