In arranging for painting, a Rood many property-owners try to buvo money by employing tlio painter who offers to do the job cheapest or try to save money by Insisting on a low priced paint.

Wo refer to the brown-tail moth, which has mado havoc for years In eastern Now Eng land, but was not found elsewhere In tho United States until a fortnight ago, when living caterpillars of the creature, in their winter nests, were discovered in a shipment of apple, pear and cherry seedlings nnd quince stocks received by a New York dealer from AngierB, France, nnd possibly ex isting In nobody knows how many more of tho .hundreds of boxes of similar stock now regularly arriving In tho United States from tho same country. So far as this state is con cerned, tho instant attack that was mado on this invasion by the stato de partment of agriculture has undoubt edly ended all danger of distribution Fig. 2. Not sprayed. Sound, 773 , ' 59.83 from this particular source; nnd tho ontnmologlcul authorities of all the states of tho union having been noti fied of tho discovery, It Is to bo sup posed that vigilant watchfulness will ovorywhoro bo exerted, with tho re sult of preventing any general out break.

Wo glvo In this nrtlclo engravings which may bo serviceable, but would N Inoculation of Clover. Clovers do' not nlyays grow as readily or as vig orously as might ho expected from tho richness or tho soil. In recent years It has been discovered by scientists that tho growth of plants of thl3 clasB (clovors, pens and beans) is dependent to some extent on tho presence of Btnall nodules or bunches on t'10 roots. Thcso nodules contain bactorla which In some mysterious way assist tho roots In taking up food from tho soil. If thcso bacteria are not present In tho soil tho clovers will bo likely' to make poor growth Indeed alfalfa may not mako any growth. If tho proper kind of bacteria aro supplied and the Inoculation of soil nnd root is success ful the plants will show ox(ra vitality. Cultures containing thcso bncteila havo been sent out to farmers from tho Ontario Agricultural collego for tho past four years, with directions for applying to tho Holds' that aro bo lng seeded with clover. Last season 300 fnrmors reported that their al falfa crops had boon bonofltod by tho application whllo 140 reported that there was no gain.

Our pic turo Is copied from ono of tho publi cations of tho Massachusetts board of agriculture, which gives also this de scription of tho winter nest: "Each web Is composed of a tenaci ous silk hlbcrnaculum, Inclosing leaves from which tho epidermis lias been consumed, although tho outer leaves on tho web may not havo been ' at tacked. The webs arc llrmly attached to the twigs by stout bands of silk. Almost invariably the web commences where the egg cluster was deposited, and remains of it can usually bo found on or in each web. Exit holes some times remain open on tho wobs throughout tho winter, but as a rule they aro closed by the matting to gether of tho web under the Influence of rain. Tho web consists internally of numerous layers of silk, Inclosing a great many small, Irregular silk-lined chambers, which are often connected, nnd contain from six to fifty larvae. Picked harvest. Wormy, 4G1 35.68 Damaged by Curcullo, 58 6.98 Tho usual number found In tho chain bora Is about a dozen each. Tho larvae aro also often found In tho gallorles In tho web. Tho lowest part of tho web Is usually full of fine black ex crement, nnd tho castoff skins of tho first molt occur In many of tho cham bers." Of courso it Is understood thnt thcso nasty nests uro to bo looked for only on imported stock. Tho figure in tlio center of tho Illustration hns no bear ing on tho case In this, country at present, except In onstorn Now Eng land ; and wo havo faith to believe it will not bo necessnry to study It elso where.

Probably the most sociable meal l. the whole week Is tho Sunday night supper. It Is an Informal omiHlon for tho dropping In of Intlmnto friends, and the Informality adds to Its churm. In many households the servants are allowed to take a holiday on Sunday atternooim, and tho members of the family bestir themselves for supper with the dialing dish, ami perhaps the delicatessen shop, iih assistants. It Is an opportunity for experimental cook ing with an Indulgent company and tho delicious dishes that may be con cocted on these occasions are mani fold. Of course, n gas stove Is even better than a dialing dish for cooking things, hut the shining metal dish over the alcohol tliimo Is a very cheer ful looking ornament on the supper ta ble. While somebody mixes the wilu and soinehodj else slices tho bread, tho confident culinary queen, who Is generally the eldest sister, takes the chafing dish In hand. Z3 The Home CZ Sugar should bo added to turnips, beets, pens, coin, squash and pumpkin. Spnreilbs should be hi oiled rnther than roasted, and served with apple sauce and mashed turnips. It takes longer to cook sweet pota toos than the common kind and they cook moie quickly In salt water. A meat chopper may be better cleaned by running a piece of bread through the machine before washing. Oatmeal can be used lnstend of hut ley or rice In the soup. It thickens it, and adds a flavor which Is pleasant.

Tho cloths used to cover tho bread should also bo washed often. Prawn or Shrimp Curry. Put four ounces of butter In a sauce pan nnd slice Into It two small onions. jFry them until brown, then remove them Into nnothor dish.

It is easy even for tho modem church to conceive Jewish projudlceu, and feel that them Is no possibility of much good outside "our" denomina tion, or "our" country, or "our" race. True Christianity, however, makes Its followers realize thut all men mo brothers for whom Christ died, and that tho most degraded nations and races have lu them the making of saints and apostles. V. 21. "A great number bolleved.nnd turned unto tho Lord." Tho reasons for this woro many: 1. Tho Christians who established the Antlooh church had been strength ened by persecutions, which thoy had mot with unflinching bravery and lldollty. 2. Tho very vices of Antloch Bhowed (ho need of a purifying gospel, anil doubtless many were disgusted with them nnd eager to turn from them. Tho strongest Christians often grow up amid corrupting, .1. Tlio people of Antloch wero ener getic, vigorous, In tho habit of doing things. Tho nggroBslvo character of Christianity appealed to them, nnd when thoy accepted the now religion, they carried Into It the same activity that had brought success in tho world ly enterprises of Antloch. 4. Hut tho chief reason for tho growth of the Antloch church Is given in the text. "Tho hnnd of tho Lord was with them." "The hnnd" Is tho symbol of po'wor and of work.

That widespread falluro of harvests and scarcity of food did occur Is "singularly woll attested, consider ing tho scantiness of evidence for this period.
