Pests of various kinds cost the American citizen the staggering sum of 12,000,000,000 annually, according to the Washington Post. "If." said Henry Wethersbee Ilenshaw, "we could get Congress to appropriate ? 1.000.000 for the extermination of the English sparrow which we couldn't; and having the million could thereby exterminate the aforesaid Englisli sparrow which again we wouldn't it would be a million mighty well Invested!" That sounds rather startling, but Dr. Ilenshaw is assistant chief of the biological survey, and speaks as one having authority. And that is not half so startling as some cf the other figures they can give you at the Agricultural Department on the cost of little thingsthings some of them almost microscopically small. According to experts in the biological survey, the smaller mam mals, for the most part rodents, cost the farmers of the country something like $130,000,000 a year. And that's a pretty big board bill! But it pales Into Insignificance beside the tribute exacted from the same farmer by the Insect pests. According to C. L. Marlatt, assistant chief of the Bureau of Entomology, injurious insects cost the Tanner about 10 per cent of his produce. According to the last Agilcultural WOMEN AND LOVE. Only he Isolated Girl Able to Keep Ulafclona aa Time l'asaea. In Harper's Bazar Gertrude Atherton, the novelist, has an interesting article on love. She knows her subject well. Among other things she says this: "We all know that the older girls grow, the more difficult are they to please in the matter of man; that is to say, when they have the opportunity to meet a reasonable number of men. It Is only the sidetracked girf (generally in small towns deserted by the young men) or the too sheltered girl, who keeps her illusions. Women that see too much of men soon lose these. In mixed colleges the process of disenchantment begins just that much earlier and in the most plastic years of the human mind. The girls who, almost shamefacedly, announce their engagements immediately upon the close of their collegiate career, are the undeviatingly maternal, those in whom love of children is so deeply Implanted tjiat no amount of contact (save matrimonial) can rub off the masculine halo. Others may have quite as much good looks and even charm, may even have a certain youthful element after romance, but the maternal element in them does not predominate, and that leaves them free to pause and think, consider; to see the male animal, with which they have rubbed elbows for several years, eiactly as he is. Therefore, they conclude to wait a few years and seek the opportunities to meet men that can companion them, give them something more than a brief romance, a family, or an establishment. Sometimes these girls, particularly if they discover ability enough to make an interesting career, do not marry at all. No man fulfills their ideals of what a life companion should be; they conclude that happiness is to be found alone, not in the surrender of liberty to some one man who may develop all sorts of detestable traits. ''GRAND OLD WOMAN" IS DEAD. 9Iia ieuoe of ; Australia Wt n Friend of Children of lirr Country When Miss Catherine Helen Spence, the "grand old woman of Australia." died not long ago the children of her country lost one of their best friends. It was Miss Spence who. In conjunction with Mis3 Emily Clark, Initiated the Australian system for the care of dependent und delinquent children, a system which is the envy of social workera in more than one other country. Old as she was, according to ths New York Tribune, she filled up to the time of her death a seat on the state chiliren's council and also on the destitute board of South Australia. But Miss Spence was never really old, though she had lived 83 years when she died. She took the warmest interest in all that her friends were doing. She mothered and brought up one after another three families of children. Her public work was many sided. The English colony in South Australia, to which, as a young girl, Miss Spence went from Scotland, was not at all like the colonies founded later by gold seekers. It was a colony established by idealists, with dreams of just laws and pure electoral conditions. Miss Spence took all this in at the impressionable age and all her life she reached and worked for the voice of the people in government. In 1893 Miss Spence traveled in America, speaking at the World's Fair In Chicago and in many other cities. l'rettr Lesend About Cora. There is a beautiful Seneca story of the origin of corn in Canfield's "Legends of the Iroquois," as follows: "Long and earnestly a young brave wooed a Deautirui maiden and at last gained her consent to live in his wigwam. Fearing that she might be stolen by one of her many admirers ho slept by utght in the forest that he might be near to protect her. One night he was awakened by a light footstep and, starting up, saw his loved one stealing out of her lodge as a sleep walker. He pursued 'her, but as if fleeing in her di earns from a danger that threatened her life, she ran from h'm like a fleet-footed hare. On and on he pursued and finally drew so near that he could hear her quick breath and the rapid beating of her heart. With all hi3 remaining strength the lover sprang forward and clasped the maiden's form to his breast. What was rot hit grief and

Department report, the value of farm products for ISOvOO was estimated at SS.7HUÜ0,Ü00, 5 against ?7.S31.0000'. for the previous year. And if the insects laid upon the fanner the minimum of their yearly tax they would cost him IS76.0UÖ.0Ö0. This docs not include "two very legitimate items, namely, the less occasioned by insect pests to farm products, chiefly cereals and forage crops, in storage, and to natural forests and forest products." To each of these at least $100,000.000 more must be assigned." making the total tax chargeable to insects last year $1,070,000.003. The "critter" known to the cotton planter as the boll worm and to the fanner as the head or ear worm is the costliest of the pests, taking on year with another. He Is credited with destroying 2 per cent of the corn crop, in point of value and quantity the most important of Uncle Sam's crops, and 4 per cent of the cotton crop, which comes next In value. The corn crop has been steadily climbing up toward the billion and a half mark for the last few years. At that rate this particular worm has cost the country $70,000,000. And there's the price of several Dreadnoughts gone Into the maw of one measly little worm! Equally costly is the Hessian fly,

astonishment when he found that his arms elapsed not the maiden he loved, but a strange plant the like of which he had never seen before. The maiden had awakened just as her lover overtook her, and, frightened at her surroundings, she was transformed. " She had raised her arms Just as her lover caught her and her uplifted hands were changpd to ears of corn and where her fingers caught hr hair the maize bears beautiful silken threads." HERE IS A FREAK PATEXT. Ulla ItcfrlKerator Cow, Wlirn Milked (ilrn Ice-Cold Fluid. A curious idea for milk carts is contained in this patont, applied for in 1S0S. Just what it is intended for is told by the inventor himself: "My invention is a new and useful improvement in milk refrigerators and delivery apparatus, and has for its object the provision of a device that resembles a life-sized cow, in which milk may be stored and kept at a proper temperature, and from which it may be drawn as occasion requires after the manner of milking a cow. Within the body are receptacles or compart ments, each of which is provided with a cover and adapted to contain the desired quaatity of milk. IJy the use of two receptacles two qualities "of milk may be stored at the same time, such as sweet milk and buttermilk: In the bottom of each of the receptacles is located a valve having a spring for normally holding it in place, so as to prevent the downfiowing of the milk. Kach of the teats has a toggle-lever connected to a lift-rod, and when the latter is raised the valve is lifted and the milk flows out of the teats. By proper manipulation of this device a realistic representation may be had of the milking of a cow. "The portion of the body of the imitation cow not occupied by the milk receptacles is utilized for the storing of Ice to maintain the milk at a proper temperature. The Imitation cow stands riveted to a wagon platform, and Is drawn through the streets In the same manner as an ordinary milk cart." Scientific American. Japanese Teat of Mndneaa. Recently at the Tokyo appeal court, before Judge Miyamoto, a farmer named Gisei Haseba, 20 years old, convicted of murdering his parents-in-law and severely injuring his wife at Osatogorl, Saitama prefecture, in 190S, appealed from the judgment of the Urawa local court, where he was sentenced to penal servitude for life. Since April last year, during the public trial of the accused, he has not uttered a single word This attitude led the judge and the public proseculor to conclude that he feigned madness as the last resort,1 hoping to get released. He was medically examined by Dr. Kure and Dr. Miyake. and in this examination Dr. Miyake adopted a singular method. There is a belief that the blood of a venomous snake is soluble with that of an ordinary man. but not with tTiat of a madman. The doctor applied this principle to the examination of the suspected lunatic, and sure enough the blood of the venomous snake did not dissolve in the blood of the accused. Thu3 the doctor concluded that he was really mad. The other doctor also gave evidence about the lunacy of the defendant. The judge ordered that the trial should be postponed until the accused was recovered from his abnormal condition. Japan Advertiser. Conn I derate.

which is specifically a wheat pest, though it also does considerable damage to rye and barley. The aforementioned Hessian fly inflicts more damage on w heat than any other one insect does on any one other crop. It is credited with a minimum destruction of 10 per cent of the wheat crop say of ?t0,000,000, as crops are running now and with easily $10.000,000 damage each year to rye and barley. And there's another $70.000.000 and a few more Dreadnoughts accounted for! Next comes the chinch bug. which attacks both corn and wheat, and to a certain extent the other cereals. It is' estimated as accountable for 2 per cent of the corn crop and 3 per cent of the wheat crop about $"0,000,000 on each, and some slight damage a few millions a year perhaps to other crops. Chalk up $00.000.000, anyhow, to the chinches, and let it go at that. While the great farm staples pay toll to destructive insects to the tune of about 10 per cent of their value, the fruit and truck farmers lose double that. The coddling moth, 'for instance, costs the apple growers somewhere between $23,000.000 and $30.000.000 a year. There are the various scale insects. Including the San Jose scale, whose depredations were at one time regarded so seriously that It was

EXTINCT AS Minneapolis Journal. DYNASTIC NAMES OF ROYALTY. Why the Laie Kins Selected Kdward Itather Ttlian Tliat of Albert. Most royal families have a given name they employ as a sort of distinctive dynastic hall mark, the Boston Evening Transcript says. George and Frederick are distinctively Han overian, as Edward is distinctively English. The' late king selected Edward rather than Albert from motives at once filial and politic. He desired that his father should stand alone in his glory as Albert in English history, and Edvrd was associated with old and stately traditions of the rdantaganets and Tudor3. Similarly the French 'Bourbons usually have a Louis or a Charles among their string of names, and the Bonapartes never forget Napoleon at the baptismal font. The most striking instance of reverence for a dynastic name is found in the princely family of Reuss in Germany. There are two principalities of Reuss, respectively representing the elder and the- younger lines. Every reigning prince must bear the name of Henry. Henry XXIV. reigns over one principality and Henry XIV. over the other. All the heads of the houses for 000 years have been Henrys and In a grand family council early in the eighteenth century it was decreed that the figures should not exceed 100, after which a new series should begin with Henry I. As botn branches clung to Henry, a working arrangement was patched up by which the younger line begin a new group numU'ring with each century. The first Henry born in the twentieth century who shall ' mount the tiny throne must revert to Henry I., and similarly his descendant senior among the Henrys of the twenty-first century Is foreordained to be I., too. Rather confusing is the system to the reader, but- If the people of the principalities like it no one else need he concerned. BE FAT AND SO BE IIAFPY.

Stout Teople May Head TliU and tiet KncoiiriiKement front It. Fat is often unappreciated or misunderstood and unduly blamed for sins of delinquencies of other body foods, the Medical Record says. From 15 to 20 per cent of each healthy body is composed of fat and its chief sources are the starches and sugars. thoigh certain fats are directly utilized. The weight of present opinion is in favor of the view that fats are completely decomposed in the intestine and that the fatty acids formed are absorbed, either as soaps or in a solution brought about by the bile. As a soutce of energy for the development of heat, fat may be described as quickly available, but' not so lasting as some other substances. By its concentrated fuel power it saves other tissues, especially the albuminous ones from over-oxidation and Is valuable as a resere force. Moreover, by its presence the protein Is better enabled to do Its work In tissue building and as a storage of energy for emergencies it is of great importance. The last materUl use of fat Is to serve ?s a protection of the body from injury and cold. It forms an outer cushion for the frame. From an aesthetic standpoint the

In the truck garden every vegetable has its own particular enemies. There are rootworms as well as fruitworms, and leafworms to boot. There are more varieties of plant lice than are dreamed of in the average mortal's philosophy. There are several special weevils for beans and peas. And there are beetles and borers, home-grown and imported. It is estimated that every rat in the United States costs the citizens at least 2 cents a day for his keep. Un fortunately It hus been impossible to get anything like an official census of the number of the pestiferous rodents supported, but considering that they breed three or four times a year; that the female begins breeding at three months, and produces from seven or eight to a dozen or more at each brood, it is easy to see that even Uncle Sam cannot afford to pay $7.30 a year apiece for the pleasure of maintaining them. It is the farmer who pays the greater partvof this board bill. Mice also lay a very heavy tax upon both town and country. Ground squirrels cause a loss of many millions of dollars a j-ear in the States west of the Mississippi, where grain Is grown in large quantities. It is estimated that in California alone they eat up $2,000,000 worth of wheat each year, and in Washington they do equal damage. Entire townships have been made barren by their ravages, and Kansas. Colorado and other Western States besides Texas have been working for years to get rid of them. "Kansas is succeeding, but she has been for some year3 appropriating $100.000 a year to the work. The birds, the natural enemies of the insects, have been hunted mercilessly. It is only lately that any effort has been made to stop their absolutely useless slaughter. In many States their real value to the farmer was not understood. THE DODO. physiological and orderly distribution of fat in the connective tissue makes all the difference between beauty and ugliness. In considering the psychic role of fat we should specially bear in mind, G. M. Miles says, its reserve function in relation to active vital processes. A liberal deposition of fat Is one of nature's wise precautions to enable us to bear some of the trials of life. It has been known from earliest antiquity that fat people are more contented and optimistic than lean ones and the supply of fat may be compared to the ample bank account of a busy and provident man. Niles says that he believes he Is correct in asserting that a physiological reserve of fat by its very presence exerts a quieting and reassuring influence on the vital forces, most concerned in constructive metabolism, while its lack leads to a physical discontent and unrest, which sooner or later reacts on the disposition, developing into the pessimism and temperamental discontent so often seen In lean people. Indian Cremation Mnat Stop. Some time ago the agent and other officers in charge of the Yuma reservation asked the braves to refrain from burning the house? of the dead.' They showed how easy it would be for a fire to sweep over a part of the reservation and put government property in jeopardy. For a time the Indians observed the request, the Los Angeles Times says, but a few days ago celebrated the Ueparture of one of their number In the most approved redskin style. The personal effects of the deceased were burned and his house was set on lire. He was supposed to have arrived in the happy hunting ground, ready for an enthusiastic reception. But. inasmuch as the personal pioperty of a deceased person belongs to the heirs by the California law, there i- no doubt that zealous friends overstepped the law when they cremated everything the dead Indian had ever owned. The practice of the Yuma Indians in burning their dead, together with the possessions left by the departed braves, has aroused the feder; authorities to action. While there wouldn't be interference with cremation a religious rite the officers declare that government property must not be endangered. At the Hall Game.

There is a youthful buoyancy about the partizanship of Champ Clark. lie I as viewed the tribulations of the Republicans in the House for several : ".vit Ii an eye glad with tha hope rntic victory. He has looked ; r into the present state of al Hux than to find in it a chance i'cr Democratic triumph at the polls. (Icod man as he is and pleasant ChantaiKiua orator, Champ Clark has not comprehended the nature of the debate now on in America. If the people saw nothing more in it than a chance for a Democratic victory, they would quickly compose their countenances and call off the fight. What is there aoout the Democratic party to exalt the American people to a frenzy of enthusiasm for its triuuiph rt the polls? Does Its recent history or its present leadership offer any

thing of value to a people burdened with serious problems, and determined to condition themselves for a noble battle for popular rights? The Democracy is hardly yet recovered from the shock of seeing its membership In both houses voting for what its platform denounces as "robbery." It is scarcely yet recovered from the shock of a disagreement by its leading Senators over the question of free raw materials, and the denial by several of them of the right of national conventions to guide the votes of members of Congress. Mr. Clark proudly swells his chest over the alleged fact that his party is united. What is it united over? Over nothing in the Senate, so far as can be seen. Over the prospect of getting the Speakership in the House. This is the only question upon which It has shown union, and even that is but recent. In the extra session the Democratic minority could not be brought together upon this or any other question. It failed Mr. Clark in his attack upon the rules. It slid gracefully to the rear, when an assault was proposed upon the Speaker. It came together again upon that question when the Insurgents proposed the Issue and convinced the Democrats that they could win. This is the united party to whose flag Mr. Clark points as to an oriflamme of victory. There is no quarrel with Mr. Clark's picturesque exposure of Republican differences of opinion. If they did not exist, there would be no chance for the minority party. There would be no opening for Champ Clark's humorous ppeeches. They are good reading, and we delight In them. But as a serious attempt to Interpret the present mool of the country these fall far below the mark. The issue is still in the Republican party. It is still with the Republican primaries. With proper nominations and with clean-cut platforms, the Republicans can go back to Congress and retrieve their mistakes. Mr. Clark makes light of the idea of a Tariff Commission to gather inform ltien. Tho President, he says, with sircasm, needsi Information. But does he not think that the Democratic party also needs Information? Can he seriously affirm that the present Democratic minority in the House, if transformed into a majority, could frame a tariff bill that would suit the country much better than the Payne bill? He will not find an affirmative answer In the history of any tariff bill the Democratic party has drawn. Minneapolis Journal. False Witnesses. ' Plainly, the Taft administration is committed to the special Interests; plainly, there is no hope for redemption In that line. The Commoner. This statement from Mr. Bryan's paper is on a par with his criticism of Gov. Hughes as a servant of "exploiting corporations." Coming from a hostile partisan such rank falsehoods may be overlooked by the charitable, but when members of the same party as -the men attacked give them currency there remains such a thing as political honor. Here Is the Taft administration, through its legal department, engaged in the most vigorous warfare against illegal trusts that the country has ever seen; here it Is seeking to bring within the purview of tho Sherman act every possible form of monopolistic enterprise. President Taft has a program not only of aggressive trust pvosecution but of investigation Into various species of monopoly, a program which within one brief year has pushed the tobacco trust to the last ditch, has the sugar trust on the rack and the beef trust on the hook, has turned the searchlight on the cotton pool and the butter combination. With due credit to Mr. Roosevelt for his great services it must be appreciated that his labors are not the labors of Mr. Taft; that he left to his successor the actual work of carrying out the things which he had preached. However much one may delight in Mr. Roosevelt's personality and his ability to point out and denounce the enemies of the republic in thunderous phrases, that is no reason why the same appreciation and sympathetic Interest should not be given to President Taft because it has been left to lilm to convert this entertaining preachment into the labor of accomplishment. However much Theodore Roosevelt may be the idol of the American people, admiration of him should blind no one to the truth about the man who Is now In the White House. Milwaukee Free Press.

Powei- of Gronlnjr Treea. Those who wish to see the enormous power of a growing tree can do so by visiting a street in Ottawa. Two trees that were enclosed by the cement sidewalk when it was built many years ago have split the slat3 into fragments by huge cracks extending in several directions. The breaking tensile strength of neat cement as used for the city is 500 pounds per square inch. With the mixture as used in the sidewalks an expert estimated It would be about 160 pounds per square inch. There are several of these cracks, so the pressure must have been still more than for one fracture. The trees are a chestnut and a sort maple. A point worthy of note in this connection is that when healthy trees are enclosed by concrete walks space should be left for expansion at least equal to the average size of the full growth of the tree. Children's Skins. Every now and then a child's skin will break out in some kind of a rash and folks think it caught the trouble at school or somewhere away from home.

New York city has increased more' than 1,000,000 in population in ten years. "Little Old New York" Is fading aww in population, while her sister boroughs are growing marvelously. This Is the tale the census enumeration is beginning to tell. Of course, all that can be done Is to estimate the changes that will be found in the population of the entire city, and even this cannot be done with certainty. What has been learned fo far is that the swarming congested sections of New .York have been thinned out by the opening up of subways, bridges and tunnels that have been completed since the last census, and that other boroughs are Increasing in population in a manner that could not have been foreseen five years ago. It has been, believed heretofore that at least 200,000 residents of New York have moved across into New Jersey In the last live years, and that a larger number kas taken advantage of the opening of the Williamsburg bridge, the Queensboro bridge and the eubway tube to 'move to Brooklyn. The most optimistic of the enumerators set 5,000,000 as the mark J?ew York city will. reach when the enumeration Is complete, but the more conservative place the total at 4,500.000. Even this Is an increase of more than 1.000,000 in ten years, as the census of 1900 snowed the population of the lire boroughs to be 3,437,202. Should the complete reports of the present census show a population of 5.000.000, it would mean that the five boroughs of the city have doubled In population In twenty years. The popw lation in 1S00 was 2.507.414; In 1900. 8.437,202. and lnl&03. 4,014.204. A Taste A Smile And1 satisfaction' to the last mouthful Post There's pleasure in every package.
