NEW ORLEANS, July 8.-Loulslana has been Invaded on three sides by Insect ene mies and will have a fight on Us hands for some years If It is to get rid of them. On the west the Mexican boll weevil has pushed forward from Texas nearly to tha center of ths state. At the north the Kan sas locusts are crossing the border from Arkansas. In the south the-so-called New Orleans snt is showing Its teeth and be ginning to attract attention as an agricul tural danger. The last legislature created a State Crop Pest commission mainly to fight the boll weevil. It was hoped that It would be able by a system of quarantine and by aban doning cotton cultivation In the western par ishes to stop the weevil at the Sabine river. But the commission has fo'nd It advisable te take up tba New Orleans ant also, and just now It sees more danger in that little Insect than In the weevil. . Expaiienoe In Texas hss shown how to meet the ravages of the weevil and while there seems no way of exterminating It the cotton farmer can, by a little care In planting the crop and burning the stalks, reduce the loss to minimum.

HANDWORK GREATLY IN VOGUE 'Woman Skilled with Needle Can Pro dnce Effects Not to Be Bought. Among the more expensive of the fash ionable trimmings are a number into which hand work enters, and such trimmings adds much elegance to a frock at a, cost less than that of hand embroidery dona directly upon the frock material. The filet nets and laces embroidered In one or several shades are the most con spicuous example of such trimming, and some of these embroidered filet nets are wonderfully handsome and effective. An entire design Is often darned or embroid ered upon the plain net, and again em broidery may be used merely to re-enforce a lace design. Cross stitch embroidery In Bulgarian or Rumanian designs and colorings Is seen In these filet trimmings, but the most popular Ideas Is that of dyed not embroidered bodily in self-tone or In several shades of the self-color, with perhaps an occasional thread or goia In the design. Many of the fashionable colorings are shown In these trimmings and they have found ready sale. The woman who Is skilled with her needle will not find It a difficult matter to em broider lightly a good filet lace, for the design fl usually of a sort that lends Itself to such re-enforcement The fllet mesh has found its way even ance In the United States In this city and has become thoroughly domrMUuted here and It Is from New Orleans that It Is being distributed to other parts of Louisiana. Its correct name is Iridomermex hlemllls major and it Is said to be of Brazilian or Argentine augur. It is so much like the ordinary red snt, Formica sanguines, and tha little red or sugar ant, Myrmlca molesta (troublesome ant), that lta presence here waa not noted at first. Householders, gardeners and horticultur ists became aware of the fact that asts were more numerous and more trouble some than formerly, but this Increase was popularly attributed to the Improved drainage and dryer soil. A Jesuit father was the first to discover that the increase was due to the appearance of a hew species of ant peculiar to South America. Just when it slipped In it Is somewhat difficult to say, but It probably arrived four or five years ago on coffee ships from Brazil, and the revival and prosperity, of the coffee trade In New Orleans is prob ably responsible for Its coming. The ant prospered and 'Increased, mainly In the upper part of the city and In those districts where the soil is sandiest. It drove out the Louisiana anta and began following their practices, raiding the pantry and seeking sugar, cakes and preserves. When it could not get these things it did what the sugar ants had done ale wood. and woodenware. Complaints found their way to the papers. The old-fashioned mode of pealing with these marauders, by the use of hot water, failed to be effective, and chemists got to work on new and appetising ant poisons. There have been a dosen or more of these placed on the market lately, but the nvst that they have accomplished haa been to keep down the ravages of the ants.' A short time ago the superintendent at Auuubon park, the uptown park of New Orleans, began complaining of the trouble he was having th protecting the trees, plants and shrubbery from rhs ante. At the adjacent Louisiana experiment station the fight against the ant has not been suc cessful. Last year the orange crop there was ruined, the ants eating ths orange blossoms, and this year the orange farms in the neighboring parish of Plaquemines have lost, severely from the ravages of the Dra ft Ulan ant. From New Orleans this ant has pushed out Into other parts of the state, first Into the oratige and then Into the sugar districts, where It has caused the Increase of the poo-a-push, aa Insect very Injurious . to the sugar cane, with which the Brasilia In vader has fraternised. It Is now thor oughly domesticated In Baton Rouge, and haa been found at Alexandria, Lafayette, Lake Charles and other points. The ant la sot only Injurious in Itself but, like all other species of ants, facilitates ths Increase of other Injurious Insects which take up their homes with It- So serious has the situation booom that the Louisiana Stats Peat commi imi warned the planters In Its report Issued a few days agot "Unites Measures are fvund Xur th ua.

These are worn over blouses of chiffon or net, with skirts of voile or silk which the lace Is dyed to match. trot of this peat," the commission said, "the orange Industry of the state la doomed, and eventually the success of the sugar cane Industry will be threatened by it. All fruit industries wljl suffer from lta presence. , , "As it destroya or drives out all native species of ants. Its appearance in the cot ton fields is likely to result In Increased damago by the boll weevil. The most active enemy which the boll weevil has In Louisiana Is the -small fire ant, and the latter is likely to be exterminated or driven out of the cotton fields by the New Orleana aut. "We have no funda with which to Inaugu rate an investigation of this pest or to find methods of control, but unless steps are taken very shortly' against this pest the agricultural interests of the state will pay toll to it to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars." Nothing has been done or even proposed as yet, tout It Is probable that the matter will be called to the attention of the United States bureau of entomology by the Louisi ana congressmen. The experience of the island of Grenada In the West Indies with Formica sacchlnl vora, a sugar eating-.ant, Is recalled. The ant appeared In the Island and thrived on the cane. Its ravages were kept up for ten . years, until- tha sugar planters of Orennada becamo desperate. A reward of HOO.OuO was offeTed for a remedy that would get rid of the ant. Fire, poison and a hundred other remedies were tried, but In vain. Finally, when the situation seemed hopeless, a hurricane swept ever the island, destroying such of the cane crop as remained, but destroying ;.b' sugar eating ant also, and It has not since been seen In Grenada. .

HOW WOMEN CAN HELP STATE Test Of Articles SoM for Poosl May Be Secure 4 nasi lie ports Made So that tba Law May Be of Benefit. Friday the Nebraska pure food law went Into effect ' The provisions' of thla law are carried out by a food, dairy and drug com mission, Governor Oeorge L. Sheldon made by ' Its provisions the commissioner, and being required , to ' appoint a deputy com missioner to facilitate him In bis duty of executing the lsw. ' - Governor Sheldon haa appointed J. W, Johnson of Lincoln deputy commissioner. The deputy commissioner Is authorlied to appoint a stenographer, a chemist, hot to exceed two food and drug Inspectors and not to exceed four dairy Inspectors. These with the exception of the stenographer, have not yet been appointed, but K. L. Red fern, who has been acting aa both deputy food commissioner and stats analyst, or chemist,, under the old law, will oontlnu to do so until further appointment, which report says will continue hlrn In the place. The Inspectors with the deputy ars au thorised to obtain samples of any and all liquors, beverages, medicines, remedies, and all foods, drugs or substitutes therefor or imitations thereof to be delivered to the state chemist, preserved In the laboratory of the commission, and If found adulter ated proceedings shall at once be com menced against the party keeping for sale such articles. A list of such adulterated articles is supplied twice a year, to tho county. clerk of each county, and said llrft Is at all times subject to public Inspection. Women Can Ifeln Here. , Now here Is woman's opportunity to learn what la being done by hor stats to raise ths standard of foods.' Any woman's organization, or any woman home-maker who wishes to find out everything possible about the purity of the foods she Is using, can get from the clerk of the eounty In which , they or she live a list of all foods that have been tested, and found below standard In any manner. . If the list Is verv sm all or lacking entirely one of several condition may obtain either the foods being sold in Nebraska" are pure, or the food commission Is not being diligent In investigating conditions or is lax In re poring them to . the county clerks. Ths first list will not be sent to the county elerks until Tecember, however, and until then only such Information as can be ob tained direct from the commission is avail able. But if every woman'a club or church organisation or fraternal organization would determine to learn all there Is to be learned about this matter of preparing and selling foods and use thla knowledge the world would advance rapidly In healthful body building. A similar course could be pursued In regard to the national law, by writing to the Department of Agrloulture. Washington. D. C, for reporta This Is not a matter to be left in the hands of -the lawmakers and executors end the business men who sell food prod uctsf' women, who largely buy and pre pare the foods for their families, have so consldred.and taken It for granted that these wise men would ' provide the best of foods to make strong bodies. , but after a few to whom a knowledge of the f aict that they were not doing It, but Instead were adulterating nearly every article of food that was put upon the market, had worked in . every way possible to arouse the people to a sense of the danger, food laws had been passed, both state and na- j tional. Women helped to do this by peti tion and Investigation and education of the masses of home-makers. But lawa afa not always carried out In their full Intent, and the Mrs. Provldema all over the state of Nebraska ahould watch and learn whether the Nebraska low Is carried Out and whether. In this great garden, tho finest producer of foods In our country, the law of get-rlch-qulck does not make poisons of foods which nature made per fect. i Noise and Pnre Food. What sort of an effect did all' the noise and concussion "and projection Into the at mosphere of powder and smoke and heat of the Fourth have upon humans gen erallyT Children like noise, and the more sud den and explosive the better they like It, after they get large enough to make It j themselves. Grown ups do not like It, but they endure It fwr the sake of the children. , Mnkers of fireworks are constantly ln i v r.Ung something new and children are as generally hunting It, so the explosions j grow In variety and intensity, the chll I dren's heartbeats are accelerated with the I pleasure and the grown ups with the pain; then there is rush arid hurry to go some where, all kinds of stimulating drinks are taken, not necessarily, alcoholic, but acid and old snd sweet, which also keep the heart action up, so even without any serious accidents the national heart Is beating altoKP'.her cut of rhythm by the time the day la ever, and all sorts of minor Ills resi:!t during the remainder of the month. Those chlMren who have only a short period nf It, end the grown ups that resolve to take the noise as coolly as possibly fare the best. And the few that are maimed or kllledt They do not even seem to have served as an object lesson, for the slaughter grows larger, a little, every year.' With the Cold Roast. "We had a roast of beef tor dinner Sun day," said Mrs. Provldem, "and as I was obliged on account of another engagement to order It through the telephone Instead of selecting it as I generally do, it proved to be somewhat larger than usual and aa we ate rather less than In the cold weather I had considerable to use for aubsequent meals. The. second day I sliced what I could get off In nice pieces, trimmed them In rounds, laid them overlapping each other round a platter, and on each piece put a small teaspoonful of horseradish sauce made by whipping two or . threo tablespoons of cream taken from the top of cream at least twenty hours old, until It was stiff, and adding to It when ready to serve an equal quantity of freshly grated horseradish, seasoning It with salt SOME Prices and Values that will MAKE! sales during the hot weather: We are making a special of silk lisle Hose, the kind that usually costs 75c, for only goo Most beautiful designs of Shirt Waists, latest patterns, at io to $10.00 Corset up from ....... .ll-OO Some Novelties In Jewel Bass, Belts and Belt Buckets.

FRUITS .AND VEGETABLES One Kind Goes and Another Comes, and Prices Keep Well Vp In Flgnres. ' The strawberry season Js over and, with th exception of a few small shipments that may be expected from Colorado next week, the local market has seen the last of them. The home crop Is entirely gone and It .was estimated that there were not half a dozen cases all told In Omaha Fri day morning. Only a few Of the grocers had any strawberries st all and then only a few boxes of Inferior quality. The Colorado berries will probably sell from 3 to 13-60 a case. Pineapples are also past for a time. The sudden conclusion of-the season after the abundant shipments of last week and the week before has been a surprise to all and caught many with little or no fruit put up. The heat is responsible for the cessation In the shipment. There will be another chance at the Florida pineapples, however, as a later crop comes In September. Red and black raspberries are plentiful Just now and so are the blackberries. Most of them are shipped from Missouri and they are of fine , quality. The raspberries sell at 15 cents a scant pint box and the blackberries for 15 cents a scant quart box. The home-grown crop will Come In the early part of next week and will be the best of the season. They will be cheaper, too, of course. Home-grown cherries, goose berries and currants are plentiful and sell for 15 cents a box. - A shipment . of .Mood River, Ore., cherries came In this week and they are selling for 40 cents a pound. A. few grape fruit were in market Friday morning,: selling from 26 to 30 cents efceh. California fruit Is coming In more plenti fully and Is a little cheaper than last week. A i few little oranges are 'being sold Just now at 80 cents a dozen. Thoy are scarcely larger than eggs,' but 'are sweet and will do for some purposes. ' v ' -, The warm weather has brought the pre dicted rise In the lemn market, an In crease of 1 a case having come since last week.' Commission men predict that the larger cases will bring $10 before the close of the warm weather season along In Sep tember. The recent warm weather has gone far toward bringing the fresh vegetables of the home crop up to1 what might be ordinarily expected at this time of year. All the garden: stuff, due at this time Is In mar ket now and at prices lii porportlon. A few bunches of celery have been resur rected from the coolers and sold Friday morning for -5 cents- a staH. 'It waa not choice by any means, but found ready salo. Swedish beans at 10 cents'a quart are also In market now. Bggs are selling from 16' to X cents a dozen and are all labled "fresh." Cream ery butter remains at 25 Cents a package and country and dairy butter ranges from 18 to 24 cents a pound. HOW GEN. SHERMAN HELPED Picked ITp l.ad on Mnddy Road and Got Ulm to the Celebration on Time. It Is not always the great things men do that kiep their memory aftve. Frequentlj It Is some small act of kindliness, some pleasant speech or manly courtesy, which remains In the minds of those who knew them. 6o In Illinois there is a young man who thinka of General'Sherman not aa "Old Tecumseh," the soldier, victor In strenuous campaign, soys tho Youth's Companion, but as a kindly, roueh-bearded old gentleman who carried him over miles of road on hla lap In order that at the end he might really see his boyish hero, the soldier. It was In the early '89's. The country In which the boy lived was to dedicate a soldiers' monument on Memorial day. Gen eral Sherman and Governor Oglpsby were to be the two speakers of the occasion. From where the boy lived It was six miles to the county seat. He had to walk tho dis tance. But worst of all misfortunes, it rained all the day before, when he should hove been working In the garden, and so cn Memorial day the boy had to get down on ,' hands and knees and pull weeds under a broiling sun, scross row after row of young vegetables, so that he Aid not get away from home until 1 o'clock. Only an hour, and six miles to got He knew It was useless. It would take him two hours, and when he got there he would find everything over and the general gone and there was no use In anything anyway. Tears rolled down his cheeks now and then and he felt like a much abused boy. Every little while a buggy or carriage passed htm going in his direction, but all of them were full and there was no one to give him a lift. But at lust, when he was certain that he could never gut there, a buggy which came up from behind did not pass, but stopped beside him. "Hello, bub!" said a kindly voice. "Going far?" The boy looked up through misty eyes. Two gray and quizzical old facia peered at him out of, a muddy buggy. Two pleasant old gentlemen were on the seat. "T-y-yes, air I'm trying to," said the boy. "Climb In, then," said the man nearest him, and aa the boy, not believing hla ears, put a foot on the step, the man reached out and lifted htm In and seated him on hla lap. "Where are you going?" he asked. "I was a-going to the monument," said ths boy, "but I didn't think I would get there.

Tee, I reckon he'll get there. Eli, Dick?" "Why yes, I reckon so," aald the other. Then they both chuckled. ' "Want to see the general, eh?" aald the old man who held him. "Don't care about the governor, eh?" "No, sir, not so much,'! ssld the boy, truthfully. "You see, he lives right here In this atate, and he didn't march through Georgia, or have aongs about him, or any thing." "Why, no; so he didn't! Did he, Dick?" usked the boy's old gentleman aqaln. This seemed to amuse them very much. They chuckled about It a while and then the old gentleman who held the boy began to tell him stories about the campaigns General Bherman had fought in and about soldier life, stories, some of which were In the history books, but most of them were new to the boy. Then the other man told some stories aUflilt Mr. Lincoln. "Did you know him?" dpmanded the boy, and to his delight they both did and told more stories about him. i Six miles was a long way to walk, but It was a short way to ride and It seemed as If they had hardly started when the boy heard a tremendous shouting sr.d cheering and there was a crowd all lined up along the road cheering. Cheering whom? He felt a motion back of him and turned and saw his old gentle man take off his hat and smile and bow, and the other old gentleman did the same.
