oRAToRY NEVER MERE TALK
Lord Brougham Has Pointed Out the
Great Difference That Exists Be-
tween the Two.

The truth is that a certain prof.
cheney in public speaking may be at
talned with nearly infalllble certainty
by any person who chooses to give
himself the trouble of frequently try
ing it, and can harden himself against
the pain of frequent failures. Com
plete self-possession and perfect flu
ency are thus acquired. almost me-
chanically, and with little or no ref
erence to the talents Of him who be-
comes possessed of them. If he is a
man of no capacity. his speeches will
of course be very bad; but though he
be man Of genius, they will not be
eloquent. A sensible remark or fine
image may frequently occur; but the
loose and slovenly and poor diction.
the want of art in combining and dis
posing his ideas, the inability to bring
out many of his thoughts, and the ut
ter incompetency to present any Of
them in the best and most efficient
form, will deprive such a speaker Of
all claims to the character of an ora
tor. and reduce him to the level of an
ordinary talker.-Henry, Lord Brough-

SACRIFICED BOY FOR DONKEY
Chinese Father Forced to Choose the
Giving Up Of His Son ard the
Direst Poverty.

Some years ago a Chinaman was
confronted with the problem Of secur-
ing a donkey, without available means
to purchase it with. He had a number
Of children and would not be able to
support them unless he could secure
the animal with which TO work in his
attempt to keep starvation from his
door.
On bordering the matter he decided
that the donkey could serve his pur-
pose better than could any one of the
children in the family. He therefore
arranged an exchange, giving a son
of his into slavery that he might gain
possession Of the animal as a means
Of support for the rest of his family.
It happened that the lad was rescued
from the life of slavery and placed in
a Methodist institution.
Quite recently one of our Methodist
missionaries had occasion to address
the student body Of a large Chinese
school. His interpreter won his adj
miration by his quickness and by his
accuracy, and he inquired into the
matter. The missionary discovered
that this was the little boy who had
at one time been exchanged for a
donkey, grown into young manhood.

The Stories They Tell.

They say on Broadway that one of
the best-known workmen took a con-
tract to write a book for a new comic
opera and received an advance fee Of
$1,000. When the time came to deliver
the work he had not written a line.
He did not want to admit this and he
did not want to give back the $1,000.
So he went to a bookstore, bought the
book of an old opera, had it typewrit-
ten and read it to his patron.
"That." said his patron, rs the
worst ever heard. Harry. can't take
that mess Of junk. It wouldn't last

"Let me try again, he begged.
So he turned in the book of big
success when the amended date came
around. The first book was that of
Patience" by Gilbert and Sullivan.

HESSIAN FLY is
VERY INJURIOUS
Another Outbreak Of Pest Is Ex-
pected, Perhaps Within Next
Few Months.
CAPABLE OF GREAT DAMAGE
Insect Feeds Chiefly on Wheat Plant
and In Smaller Measure on Barley
and Rye-straws Break and
Fall Before the Harvest.


prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrieulturel
knowledge In possession Of experts
NJ the United States department OF
agriculture leads to the belief that the
Hesslan fly. the worst enemy Of wheat,
has begun gradually to increase. The
percentage of infestatiOn, according to
the fall count, showed a distinct In
crease over that of last year. The
principal controlling parasites are ap-
parently absent or very scarce, par
icularly In the middle West. An
other outbreak of the pest is expect
ed, perhaps within the next few
months. The accompanying illustra-
lion, which is being distributed by the
department as a poster, presents the
means Of combating it.
Among insect crop pests In the
United States, the Hessian fly stands
6rst in evil reputation and possiblli-
des. In bad years, hundreds Of thou
sands Of acres Of wheat may be totally
destroyed or the yield reduced as much
rs 10 per cent by this parasite.
Named for Mercenaries.
The Hesslan fly is not a native Of
America and nobody knows whence
It came or how. 1t was noticed In
1873 on Long Island, N. Y, In the
vicinity of the place where Lord
Howe's army, largely Hessian mer-
cenaries, had camped three years be-
Gore. The popular belief was that
the Hesslans had brought the insect
over in the straw used by them as
bedding on board ships. Thus came
the name-and that guess is as good
as any as TO how the fly got here.
All that can be authorltatively said is
that It arrived from some transatlan-
Tie country some time after the middle
Of the eighteenth century.
The Hessian fly is one-tenth of an
Inch long, of an obscure dark color,
and appears much like a very small
mosquito. It lays a glossy red egg
one-hftieth of an inch long, from which
Is Matched a maggot slightly smaller
than the egg. This transforms into

If they attend the thrashermen's
school in their localities. Every
tbrasherman who is Interested in saw
ing grain, reducing idle time when his
machine is out of commission, and
lengthening the active service of his
separator. should attend a thrasher-
mans school where he viii be taught
the when. why, where, and how to
operate thrashing outfit and keeping
It In the pink of working condition.
The purpose is primarily to improve
thrashing conditions. Instruction will
cover the theory Of the separator. the
operation, care and adjustment of the
machine, and sufficient laboratory
work to give students skill in adjust
ing and operating. 1t is contemplated
to hold schools Immediately after or
prior to the one-day grain standardiza-
tion schools. directed by the federal
departments bureau of markets.
Necessity for practical education Of
American thrashermen was brought
out strikingly by results In Minnesota
last year recording the normal waste
OF grain In thrashing. Comprehensive
tests, which included the work of the
more than $500 machines in the Co
pher state, showed that the average
avoidable loss in thrashing wheat was
4.69 bushels day. worth approximate
ly $964; while the avoidable loss in
thrashing oats was 81 bushels daily,
worth then $546. Some of the sepa-
rators wasted as much as so bushels
OF wheat day, worth. on the basis of
the October market. $103 Twenty-Five
per cent of all the machines tested
in Minnesota showed an avoldable
loss, due to the machines being out Of
repair or improperly adjusted, of Is
bushels day. Therefore, Minnesota
today is a stanch advocate of teach
ing thrashermen the three R's-run-
ming, repairing and readjusting their
thrashing outfits.
