• STUDY BUQ8,
A Growing Cu for Entomologists la
Agricultural Districts.
The Colorado potato-beetle la prao
tically under the thumb of parts greln.
The coddling moth whose larvm Infest
our apples, is readily controlled by
spraying the trees with the same poi
son at the proper season. So with
nmny other pests of the farmer and
fmit-grower. But, as Professor Riley
estimates that one-tenth of our agri
cultural products is annually ruined
by insects, it is evident that plenty of
work remains to bo done in this direc
tion.
The total annual loss from insects
in the United States is placed by the
best entomological authorities at
about $380,000,000. As the entomolo
gists of the various state agricultural
experiment stations and of the
national department of agriculture
pursue their investigations further
this enormous loss will be greatly re
duced.
When their labors become better
known and appreciated their oppor
tunities for work, as well as the means
at their disposal, will be increased.
Many more hands and brains will be
needed to do the work, and young men
and women trained in entomology will
be called for as assistants.
Most of the states have now es
tablished agricultural experiment
stations, and at the majority of these
an entomologist is busily at work on
his specialty, borne of the agricultural
colleges give courses in economic
entomology, and as the farmers learn
to better appreciate its money value
to them they will devote more and
more time to its study.
The implements needed for the col
lection and study of insects are few
and inexpensive. Uor young persons
whose happiness lies in outdoor life
and the study of nature no depart
ment of natural science offers a more
inviting and promising field than ap
plied entomology.
A NATURAL MISTAKE.
The Man Aaked for Boom No. 18, —
the Landlord Wai Suspicions.
He registered in fine style, but when
he asked to be shown to his room the
landlord requested him to wait
“You see it takes some little time
to change the furniture and get things
ready,” he said in a mysterious way.
“He must know me,” said the guest
as he walked off with a strut
Pretty soon the bell boy told I him
his room was ready. He followed him
to it and found that every article of
furniture had been swathed in quilts
and the carpet covered with an old
matting.
“What does this mean?” he asked of
the boy.
“Dunno.” said the imp with a grin.
Then he sent for the landlord and
demanded an explanation.
“Oh, it's all right You see we must
protect ourselves.”
“1 don’t understand.”
“There’d be the coroner’s inquest
and all the muss.”
“Good heavens, man, what do yon
mean?”
“Don’t you intend to commit sui
cide?”
“Jerusalem, no!”
“Then why did you ask for No. 13?”
“Because it’s my luck number. Oh,
hal ha! I see, Well, just take this
rubbiph away and give me a chance to
be comfortable. 1 haven’t the least
idea of shuffling off yet”
The landlord apologized, and had
the room restored to its normal con
dition.
A CASE OF SKEPTICISM.
A Child into Would Mot Believe In
Wholesale Executions.
A well-known New York artist tells
this story of himself:
“While we were spending the sum
mer at our country home a little girl
caUed to see my wife. As she was en
gaged I attempted to. entertain the
child by showing her pictures of
famous French women. The first was
Charlotte Corday. I gave a brief ac
count of her life, and finished by say
ing they cut her head off! The child
caught her breath, but said nothing.
The next picture was that of Mme.
Boland. I told about her, and flnaUy
said, ‘And thev cut her head off.’
“The child's face grew rather in
credulous; but still she said nothing.
The next face was Marie Antoinette’s.
*0h!’ she exclaimed. ‘What a beau
tiful lady! How lovely she is. ’ ‘Yes,’
I answered, 'she was perfectly lovely,
but they cut her head off.”
“This was too much." The child
arose, and looking at me in the most
indignant way, said: ‘Humph! What
do you take me for? I ain’t so green
as I look!”
The Snub Nose*
Owners of the snub and the celestial
nose will find little comfort in the
dicta of “nasology.” They indicate
“natural weakness, mean, disagrees*
ble dispositions, with petty insolence
and divers other characteristics of
conscious weakness which strongly
assimilate them.” Nevertheless, the
“celestial” is, by virtue of its great
length, decidedly preferable to the
snub, and is not without some share
of small shrewdness and foxlike com
mon sense, on which, however, it is
apt to presume, and is therefore a
more impudent nose than the snub
A Borneo Custom.
Charles Hose, an explorer, recently
made a trip up the Baram river, in
Borneo, and noted several strange cus
toms practiced by the natives. One
night he slept in a native bouse, and,
upon awakening, was surprised to find
at the head of his bed a large box,
which proved to be a coffin. On in
quiry he learned that the coffin con
tained the mortal remains of the
chiefs late wife. He fouhd that it
was the custom of these savages to
keep a corpse in the house for three
months before burying it.
OUH MANY LANOUAOII.
Blatlittoi at tha DUftraat Tob|«m
Spoken by tha Unman Raes.
Some interesting statistics have
fcwo complied by n Frenchman re
speoting the different languages
Woken in various parts of the world.
He states that the language in whieh
Shakspero and Milton wrote was then
that of less than 6,000,000 human be
ings. Frenoh was the mother tongue
of at least 30,000,000 people at a time
when English was spoken by less than
16.000. 000, and 50,000,000 of Frenoh
speaking people were living when the
revolution broke out in 1780.
Between forty and fifty years the
English language equaled the German
in the number of those who spoke it,
and now the latter is left far behind.
German is now spoken by 10,000,000
persons in tho Austro-Hungarian em
pire, by 46,000,000 in the German em
pire, by 40,000 in Belgium, and by
abont 2,000,000 persons in Switzerland.
German is also spoken by about 2,000,
000 persons in the United States and
Canada, giving a total of about 00,
000,000 who use the German language.
French is spoken by 38,000,000 in
habitants of France, by the 2,500,000
people in Belgium, by 300,000 in Al
sace-Lorraine, by 600,000 in Switzer
land, by 1,500,000 in the United States
and Canada, by 600,000 in Hayti and
by 1,500,000 in Algiers, India, the
West Indies and Africa—in all about
45.000. 000. English is spoken by 87,
000,000 persons in the British Isles,
by probably 57,000,000 of the 60,000,000
inhabitants of the United States, by
4.000. 000 persons in Canada, by 3,000,•
000 in Australia, by 8,700,000 West In

other British colonies, bringing the

Hood’s Proves Its Mont
Severe Case of Blood Poisoning—
A Perfect Cure
“I will tell how valuable we have found
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. My brother Julius was
Blood Poisoned
and, although we had medloal attendance, he
failed to get any better, lie was sick for nine
weary months, suffering with numerous sores,
which appeared first like water blisters, and
when they burst, wherever the water spread a
new sore formed.
The Pain Was Terrible
The trouble was principally upon his legs, sad
we were afraid they would have to be ampu*
tated. My grandmother urged us to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, but we thought it was of no use, as
we had spent hundreds of dollars which had
proven useless: but father said, ’ We will try a
bottle.’ Soon after Julius began taking Hood’s
Hood’s st Cures
Sarsaparilla the sores all disappeared, and In a
short time he was perfectly cured.’’ Emma
