LEECH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Those Familiar With Small Creatures
Habits Can Foretell Change
That Are At Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can
be made by placing a leech In a glass
Jar Of water.
If the weather is to continue fine
the leech lies motionless ut the bot
tom of the jar, and rolled together
In a spiral form. II it Is to rain,
either before or after noon, 1t will be
found to have crept up to the top of
its lodging, where 1t will remain till
the weather is settled.
II we are to have wind, the poor
prisoner gnllops through his limpid
habitation with amazing swiftness,
and seldom rests till it begins to blow
hard.
II a remarkable storm of thunder
and rain is to succeed the leech, for
some days before, lodges almost con-
tinually without water, and gives It,
self up to violent throes and convul-
sive-like motions. In frost as In clear
summer weather, it lies constantly at
the bottom; and In snow, as in rainy
weather, it pitches its dwelling on the
very mouth OF the jar.

HAVE TO PURCHASE BRIDES
santaIi Indian Bridegroom Must Lay
Up Money Before He Can As
plre to a Wife.

The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay a
sum of money to the girls parents
usually about 100 dupees-and, In adj
dition, they present the mother and
the female relatives with new saris
or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a
widow for his wife, she will only cost
half the sum mentioned. The reason
why the Santali Indians hold widows
In less regard than unmarried females
Is because they assert that In the
next world man and wife are reunited.
hence a widow who marries again is
only 'slent" to her second husband.
When a young man courts girl who
does not favor his suit, he adopts an
eccentric way to cure her stubborn
ness. After having dipped his finger
in red paint, he goes in search of the
lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead. Then he may claim her as
his wife.

The long unders1ip of satin or fou-
lard, used as a foundation for after
noon or evening dresses has proved
wonderful help In the summer ward
robe. The same slip serves for wear
with long blouses, and the very popu-
lar smocks that just now hold the
center of fashions stage, as we'll as
for the original and special overdress
that caused 1t to be made. Dresses
made with an underslip with various
kinds Of overdress are not outrivaled
by any others for afternoon wear.
Sometimes the underslip is plain, with
overdress in figured fabric and some
times this order Is reversed, as In the
afternoon gown at the left of the two
shown above.
Foulard and georgette make the
most popular OF all combinations for
dresses of this kind Here they ap-
pear in a long underslip Of figured
foulard with bodice and overskirt OF
plain georgette laid in box plaits and
with border of foulard about the
bottom Of the overdress. The georg-
cite provides the sleeves, girdle and

A later arrival in styles for after
noon frocks is shown at the right of
the picture and 1t foreshadows some
thing new for fall. This is a gown
made of shot taffeta silk, and 1t sug
gests the "bustle dress of two or
three years ago. One material and
cleverly managed drapery Of 1t, are
the means at hand with which the
designer has succeeded In making an
Interesting and very pleasing dress.
Bunchy drapery is caught at the right
side below the hip, with ribbon in long
loops and ends. Frills of lace set of
the neck and make pretty chemi-
settle, adding their daintiness to the
| sleeves. This model, modified a little
and made up in light-colored silks,
makes lovely evening dress. One OF
these in blue taffeta shot with gray,
has the silk draped at both sides Of the

collar) that extends below the waist
line in front and forms a sash. This
is tied in buoyant bow at the back.

BOIL WEEvIL LOSES GROUND
Second Year in History Of Insect That
There Has Been Reduction In
Infested Territory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture
Due to the hard winter Of 1918,
the boil weevil lost ground In his con-
quest of the cotton belt last year. This
Ia exceptional In the history OF the

since the establishment of this insec!
In the Uni, ed States that there has
been net reduction In territory in
Tested by tbs pest.
This does not mean that the move
ment Of the boil weevil has been per-
manently Stopped. In fact, the net
loss of terri tory for the year was but
a fraction of the loss at the begin
ming of 1918 Much of the lost ter.
ritory was regained by the weevil later
In the year.
The losses In territory occurred In
Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Ala
bama. The weevil gained territory IN
Florida. South Carolina, Georgia, ane
New Mexico. This is the first report
of. the boil weevil Oh cotton in New
Mexico, where it was found in the
Pecos valley.
The weevu has reached the southern
most limits of cotton production IN
Florida. 1t is steadily gaining new ter
ritory in South Carolina. Almost the
entire sea-island cotton belt is now in
tested.
Altogether the weevll invaded only
161OO square miles of new territory
during 1918. 1t lost $4,000 square
miles of formerly infested territory
making a net loss of 10000 square
miles. About 10000 square miles o.
cotton territory still remain unsn

Soil erosion, or the washing away
OF earth by water, costs the farmers
OF the United States $1,OOO,OOO every
year. Soil losses from this cause oc-

Ruins Fertile Land.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in a number of ways
The upper and most fertile parts OF
the soil are washed away until the
land becomes barren and unproduc

result in an actual loss of land fol
cultivation, lowering of the water
table and deficient supply of mois
ture. Drainage bitches are often fillet
up with sand, which frequently re
suits in the flooding Of the adjoining
bottom land and the destruction o.
crops. Rich bottom lands are Otter
covered with deposits of sand washet
from the hill lands. Hence the direc
losses of the upland farmer are thu

The latest arrivals in blouses are not
different from those that came early
in the season, except In inconspicuous
details of making or trimming. There
Is no good reason why designers
should run after strange gods as
long as there Is an insistent de-
mand for the styles now in vogue or
until some change in skirts opens the
way for a change In blouses. What
women are most concerned In Is
knowledge of the merits of materials
used in blouses and of the most prac-
teal and becoming styles for various
uses.
The most durable and Mt the same
time dainty blouses for daily wear are
made of fine cotton wolfe. 1t does not
seem possible that so sheer and fine a
fabric could have such powers of re-
sistance TO wear and Tubing, but the
fact remains that it will outlast any
other. When made up with strong
cluny or fillet, or handkerchief laces,
one may depend upon a wolfe blouse
for two years wear. some times more.
Tatting makes as fine a finish as the
most fastidious taste can ask for
Houses made of voile or other cottons.
Batiste is softer material than
wolfe and gives good service. 1t is not
expected to last as long, and the
finer lingerie laces, val, cluny and fillet
are used with it. 1t Is a beautiful

the adoption OF effective measures for
stopping erosion.
Methods Of Preventing Erosion.
Since erosion Is due largely to the
rapid movement of the rain water over
the surface Of the ground, methods Of
preventing erosion must cause the wa
ter either to sink into the soil or flow
away slowly over the surface to a
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as
1t falls, there would be very little
erosion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly soil must be very permeable,
which means that 1t must contain fair
ly large open spaces through which the
rain water can pass easily. or where
1T can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable. A
number of ways Of increasing the
permeability of soil are deep plOw-
ing, blowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice of tile drain
age, and, in certain soils, the use Of
explosives.
Protection Of Vegetation.
Vegetation covering the surface OF
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action Of the rain and checks
the flow of the water over the surface,
giving the soil better opportunity to
absorb the water. 1t is therefore Inn
| portant that some kind of cover crop,
such as vetch, clover, oats, wheat or
rye, be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
is not used for other crops.
| Contour blowing, which consists of
breaking the ground along level lines
across the slopes, reduces the flow OF
water directly down the slope. Also
in planting and cultivating the crops
the same level lines are followed so
that shallow trough Is made above
each row. Most of the rain water is
caught and held in this trough until
1t either evaporates or is absorbed BY
the soil. Contour blowing should In
variably be practiced on all hill lands.
The beginning of a great many gullies
is due to the practice Of blowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.
