Womanly Wisdom.
In the thady thicket robin hides -away,
Grasshopper and cricket drowsy con
certs Play.
By the roadside linger little brown
bare feet,
' Little thumb and finger pull the ber
ties sweet.
Butterflies are splendid, katydid is
'here,
Summer's almost
drawing near.
Remember the
woman's epitaph:
what she couldn't.
An easy and convenient way to
remove the silk from sweet orm is
to use a small vegetable scrub
Hffush. If any member of the family is
very sick at the stomach, teat up
the white of an eg p; and let him
swallow it. It acts like a charm.
In making marmalades 'and but
ters of peaches, plums and like
fruits, leave a few seeds in while
cooking, and you will find that the
fruit is less apt to stick tc the kettle
and burn.
Raspberries should never be set
away in a bowl or deep dish, where
the berries will be crowded together.
Instead, spread them on platters or
large plates, and they will keep
longer and in better condition.
If apiece of glass -or any sub
stance having sharp edges or points
be accidentally swallowed, chewing
and swallowing a considerable quan
tity of fresh slipneryfdm bark may
cause the foreign body to pass
through the intestines without in
jury to their .coats.
If you feel that ycu have a cold
coming on, start for the camphor
bottle, sit down and soak a clean
handkerchief with canphor, hold it
to your nose and sniff it long and
deeply. Keep right at it for five
minutes, aud then have another,
spell of it titer weiting a little
while. This will cftcn break ups'
hard cold.
Corn drops are delicious; try'
some. Use half a -.dozen ears of,
young, juicy vcorn. ecore the grains
with a sharp knife, after having
trimmed off tbe ieaat bit of the sur-i
face of each grain, then scrape all
the corn from the cob with the'
back of the knife. . Add salt and
one egg, the white ani yolk beaten;
separately. Drop in spoonfuls on
either a' hot ibake iron or frying
uan; diu id .eimer case use no more
fat than is just accessary to grease
it. Have the pan oniron hot and
oake like griddle cakes, turning
wnen a golden brown underneath,
From August Fcrm Journal,
that need men trained in agr'cal
ture. An illustration is found in the
instance ot our one agricultural col
lege in Pennsylvania, Withiu the
last year or two one member of the
faculty of this school of agriculture
has withdrawn to accept a position
with a commercial concern produc
ing high grade milk, and he is now
getting five thousand dollars a year.
A scientist in The Department of
Animal Husbandry has been secur
ed by China r.t a salary three times
as great as the Pennsylvania School
of Agriculture was able to pay him.
He left lor Mukden, Manchuria,
the last of June to assist in estab
lishing aT experiment station there.
Another member of the faculty,
Prof. Jthu VV. Gilinore, has been
chosen president of the college at
Hawaii at Honolulu, and the salary
paid asm will be nearly double that
which he has been receiving at
State College. Another young man
in this faculty left to become a farm
manager at $1,600 a year.
No solution to the dog question

InHects that Kat liead Pipe.
The astonishing fact that rn Uhe
Vienna mint the leaden walls of ien
ervoir containing sudphurlc aedd. .al
though about 1.7 inches thick, were
eaten through by an Insect; that ithe
leaden gas pipe in the cafe was also
damaged In a like manner, and that
also In the sulphuric acid factory in
Nusedorf the wall of the lead cham
ber was found to contain defetrtc
from tne same cause, fcas recently U
v traded attention to the damages
.done by insects both t wood uwl t
onetal, says a writer in the scientific
Aii.erlcan. Such damages are due to
. so-'; of wood wasp, vt which there
r many sorts in central Europe.
The largest tf these, Hte black and
yellow giant wood wasp, resemblec
tbe truo wasp, wtiich Is eo feared toe
auBe of its sting; but (dose observa
tion shows it to be very Clfferent. Its
ureaHi una neuy are Domed by a
widn connecting piece, whereas in
tile case of the real wasp the "waist"
fa !jroverblaJly sma.lL On the under
slieiol the elongated betjy, the f
ma.le.&.a8 a very hard boring device,
airoi . 'three-fourths of an nch long.
Ordinarily this borer is directed back
ward; but when in use It 4a turned
about iluc base, so as to mako a con
siderable angle with the axils of the
body aud is used like a rat-tall file
until It uaakes a hole about seven
tent ha f .n inch deep ia tbe wood
which t usually chooses to perforate.
The egg ovhlch the female lays In
the wood develops into a caterpillar
like creature with six Bhort lege, and
without eyes.
With its sirttrp, hard jaws, it bites
Into the trunk of a tree tubular chan
nels, which liiorease In diameter as
the wasp grows larger. It swallcws
the wood whldi It gnaws off, diges
ting the nutritious portions and dis
charging the rest In a meal-like for a.
For two years It .eats its way for
ward In this man&er. In the third
yettr the insect creeps out, biting
with its i&wn through the thin wall
which separates it from tbe outer
world, leaving the home of its child
hood to enter upon a short life In
freedom. Should a tree trunk which
has bon perforated by such a wasp,
and in which an egg has been laid',
be employed when Insufficiently sea
soned for building' purposes, It may
happen that some day tbe Insect,
which has been two years working
Its way through tbe piece, will sud
denly appear In the building. If a
piece of such timber which contains
a I.-rva, is surrounded by a leadsa
plate, the Insect will not stop at this,
but will bite Its way through just as
though it ware of wood,
