BUG FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Two Important Insects Known to Fruitgrowers Beneficial Species Often Destroyed by Mistake. Very much confusion prevails In the common naming of two very important Insects among the frultgrowors, writes John Isaac, In Orchard and Farm. One of theso Is classed as nmong tho worst posts with which our orchards are alllicted; tho other Is in nil ways and at all times beneficial; yet. owing to this confusion of

In a London Omnibus. A London 'bus driver was hailed by a clerical-looking old gentleman, and on the ftrat opportunity he remarked to the conductor. "Do you know who you've got inside. 111? It's Cardinal Mannln !' "Go on. that ain't Cardinal Mannln " said the conductor. "I know 'im." They argxied further, and finally bet a shilling over It. When collecting far s the conductor deter

passenger look.-d him oldly and boldly In tho eye, and answered: "What the devil has that got to do with you?" The conductor was satisfied, but even

at tho sacrifico of a bob he had to get even with tho passenger. Putting his

head out of the door he called up to the driver: "You aro right. Bill; it was 'Is 'ollness."

Not Her First Purchase. This Is a baby story they tell out at Belolt: A woman called at a dry goods store to look at somo baby

dressos. Tho clerk showed her a una valued at five dollars each, and talked volubly about "how proud" the mother ought to be over the baby. He BUggested that possibly she might want a more expensive dress. But the mother did not seem to "enthuse" a bit over tho clerk's gush. "How many children have you?" asked tho clerk, cautiously. Oh, this is the eleventh." she replied, carefully scanning tho price lags. And out came a line of baby drosses -with a moro modest list of prices. JCansas City Journal.

A Revelation to the Cook.

A hannlly married woman, who had

enjoyed 33 years of wedlock, and who

was the crandmother of four uenuuiui

mtin Mithlrim had an amusing old

linw - -- colored woman for a cook. One day when a box of especially

beautiful flowers was left for the mistress the cook happened to be present, nnd she said: "Yo' husband send you all tho pretty flowers you gits, missy ? "Certainly, my husband, mammy," proudly answered tho lady. "Glory!" exclaimed tho cook, "ho BUttenly am holdln' out well." Ladios' Home Journal.

To be at all original in this day of numerous neck fashions the Jabot must be Invented on the spot by the maker thereof. A beautiful little affair, which was. after all. a very usual bit of plaited linen and Irish crochet, was fastened Ingeniously with buttons

and buttonholes to the permanent stock collar of a blouse. This took away that stuck-on look which has become an unpleasant part of the Jabot when worn without a turn-down

collar. The plaited linen was set into a doubled strip of the same material.

A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep tho brain and tho body in that harmonious co-operation which makes a Joy ot living. "Two years ago," she writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion. I resigned my position as toacher. which I had held over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, hut the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one groat cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils.

Insect Attacks Many Different Plants and Trees, But Particularly Injurious to Fruit. Most of the Insects which Infest orchards "Injure the crop and not the tree. The San Jose soale, however. If permitted to run its course, will entirely destroy the orchard. While as many as sixty-five different plants and trees may be attacked, the peach, apple and plum suffer the most. San Jose scale is distributed by the shipment of infected nursery stock, by its own efforts and by man himself, as

i well as by horses, birds and Insects, j : This Insect Is seldom seen, as It con

ceals Itself with a scaly covering from its own body. The scale Is very small, one-twenty-flfth of an Inch or less In diameter, flat and nearly circular In shape, grayish, with the center raised. Upon lifting the scale one finds a yellowish, soft-bodied creaturo without legs or wings, but having a long, slender beak with which It sucks the sap from the tree. Thousands of these little Insects attaching themselves to one tree will do much dntuago In a single season. When found In an orchard It should be cared for at once.

Ordinarily it can be controlled by the use of lime-sulphur solution, but In

case the trees are thoroughly infested

and nearly dead they should be cut

down and burned.
