Editor of Intelligkm,.;u, Danvi le, Pa Dear Sir : I notice in a ree. lit issue of your paper mi account of an interview with me. In which I am reporied as having said, that if a farmer ierased to clean up the posts on his trees, the Department of Agriculture will do it, and add the cost to his tax bill, or may chop down the orcha'd and burn it. l never made any such statement, and I regret that this has been reported because it. is causing distrust among farmets anil they are unwilling to accept as they shou d, the help which this olliee is t rvi• g lo give them. Some are opposing in spectors who goto their piemises to help them with a view to determine what insects are infest) g their trees, and what pests are present. This is for the good of their ovchaids, and it is to their interest to receive the help which we are extending to them However, when I hey have a wrong impression that we are going to force them to treat their trees,, they will not accept the services which we offer. I, therefore, write to ask you if you will kindly make the correc tion, and say, that this Department does not contemplate forcing any man to treat his trees from the find ings ot our inspector* '! he Law pro vides 4l»at if any man notify us ii writing of a premises infested with San Jose Scale or other serious, th< Depan nient of Agriculture must sen« an exj ert to pee what is wrong am! prescribe a method of treatment, am these mlist be followed.

"The tombs of Benl llassain," sain an antiquary of Chicago, "are IntereM lng on account of their realistic pay ings. In these tombs, which arc Fr.OOO years old, there are many pictures of drunkards. Drunken men, waving wine cups In both hands, are being carried home by sneering slaves. Drunken ■women lurch through the streets, fol lowed by little mocking children. All this, mind you, 5,000 yearj ago. "Alexander the Great used to hold drinking contests. He who could drink and carry off the mo.:t wine won. Promauhus, the skilled Prouiachus, won a gold cup from Alexander by drinking fourteen quarts of wine, i Fourteen quarts! "The Humans used to rerve at their banquets wines eighty and a hundred years old. They would mix with these wines turpentine, resin and sea water. Thus, they thought, a tine flavor was got. "I once tasted a wine 'J O years old. It was so thick we had to dig it out ■with a spoon. Its flavor was so hor rible that turpentine, resin and sea wa ter would no doubt have improved it." —Chicago Chronicle. A Pious Face IVhhli. Here is an enchanting recipe copied from a book on the toilet published In 1884 —in Hoston, of course: "A Wash to Give the Face a Younger Look.—Take sulphur, one and one-half ounces; G. ollban und myrrh, two ounces; amber, six drams; rose water, one and one-half pints. Distill the whole In balneum marlae, wash yourself with some at bedtime, and in the morning with barley water, and with the blessing of God it will not fall to give you a younger look." Where will you And such mingled piety and shrewdness in modern beau ty papers? Think how the ladles who advertise some wonder working cream or powder could spare their c»u sclences at the last great day If they would only Insert such clauses In the recipes the3 r give. And do not the j ingredients sound delightful? Amber, which suggests Cleopatra and her pearl (by the way, what a cosmetic that should make), and G. oilban. whatever it may be— it sounds like the name of a Christian.—Exchange.

When Marshal MacMahon In the Crimean campaign took tly; MalakofT by storm and wrote his celebrated dis patch, "J'y suls 112 j'y resto" ("Here I am; here I stay"), these words made him famous all over the world. Yet his friends said that the worthy soldier had written them in the most matter of fact manner, with no thought of phrase making. The most urprlsed person over the success of this ep'l gram was MacMahon himself.

Ogdcn x c "I don't care what she Is—heathen, Hottentot or bank robber," cried Mrs. Beresford desperately. She had fol- • lowed her husband into the hall and ' now stood clinging to his buttonhole in wistful appeal. "But I must have somebody. Here are the Witherscs and all those others coming to dinner and no one to cook a thing. I have tele phoned the Intelligence office, and Mrs. i Lewis says she will have a girl at the station for your train, so all you will have to do is speak to her and bring her along." Beresford gasped. "What, me?" he ejaculated. "Speak to a strange wo man in a railway station aud ask her if "ARB YOU THE NEW COOK Foil AIRH. BERESFORD'/" HE DEMANDED, she's my cook! I'll be Jiggered If I will!" Then at the sight of his wife's quivering lip he pulled himself up. "All light, puss," he said Hastily. "I'll get her here some way. Don't you wor ry your precious little head. Goodby, dearest" And Mrs. Beresford, comforted, re turned to her cold coffee. All day long the prospect hung like a nightmare over Beresford. Suppose he spo!:e to the wrong woman; suppose she considered herself insulted and called for the police. There was no counting on what a woman might do. When, having but a scant two minutes to spare before train time, he dashed into the waiting room it was with u fervent anathema against cooks In gen eral and this one in particular that ho pounced upon the nearest woman. "Are you the new cook for Mrs. Beresford?" he demanded breathlessly. The woman, startled ly his Impetuous onslaught, surveyed him with a non committal glance. "And if I am?" she ventured cau tiously. "We must hurry. Have you your j ticket? No? I'll get It. Your trunk? j Oh, that must wait until tomorrow. I Come along." lie found time In his j rush to note and Inwardly approve the ; neat black dress, the gentle, almost j sad, face of the woman beside him. Another woman, big and crowned with a huge confection of flowers and lace, stood by the door and Beresford men tally congratulated himself on not hav ing to travel with that. At home Mrs. Beresford regarded the new girl with equal approval. The que.-,lieu of hours, wages, days ou.\ etc., was quickly settled. Then Mrs. Beresford asked for references. The woman looked troubled. "They are all In my trunk," she ex plained. "Mr. Beresford is to bring It out tomorrow. There was no time to day." "Ob, very well," said Mrs. Beresford. After all, it did not matter, for with out good recommendations Mrs. Lewis would not have sent her. Dinner was delicious. The soup was a dream, the roast done to a tiro, the game seasoned to perfection. Who* the .-mootli black coffee came as a fir •ting linish to a dainty repast Mrs. Beresford breathed a long sigh of re lief. This woman was certainly a treasure, she mused complacently. And Mrs. Withers suppressed a little envious sigh. For, like most country places. Hillside was but a resting place for countless legions of girls. "If she only keeps up like tiiis 1 shall regard Maggie's departure in the light of a disguised blessing," con tilled Mrs. Beresford to her husband later In the privacy of their own apartment. "I hope she Is .not going to be ill. Norah just told mo that when she was arranging my room tonight the eoolc came in, saying she felt bad. Norah tlxed her up with hot water bans and things aud thought she would be ail right in the morning. Helgho, I am tired! Anyway, I tlilnk the Withcrses enjoyed themselves. Now if she will only stay." I>ut Mrs. Beresford's hope was des tined to be of short duration. When Norah came in next morning to light her mistress' yre slie brought a tale of woe. "The cook has gone, ma'am. She felt very bad 111 the night. Oh. yes; she did that. So she walked to the station aud took the Ilrst train." "Gone!" exclaimed Mrs. Beresford. "Gone! Why, Norah"— Then, struck by a sudden fear, she sprang out of bed and ran to the dressing table. *'My sapphire bracelet!" she cried. "That girl came so late last night that I had to hurry to dress and forgot half my things. I know I left the Ijracelet here, but 1 supposed you had put It away. Did you, Norah; did yo'jjf" Norah gave a gasp. "The sapphire bracelet, Is it? Sure, I didn't cea it." "What's the row?" Inquired Beroa j ford, appearing at the door ot* his dressing room. Ills wife flung herself at him. I"The cook—the cook is gone!" she i panted. "And my sapphire braccletl | Ami here's a letter from Mrs. Lewis j saying that the girl came back to the ' office last night and said she couldn't j find you. Who—who did you bring out then?" ' "Oh, my soul!" murmured Beresford, with a swift recollection of the big woman. "Never mind, puss; I'll find It for you." "Find it!" wailed Mrs. Beresford. j "My lovely sapphire bracelet! Your wedding present to me! Oh, Harry," i reproachfully, "how could you bring such a person Into the house?" i "Well, I like that!" exclaimed Beres ford. "How was I to know?'' "You—you ought to have," wept his wife. And that was her last word. He should have known. The bracelet, a very handsome one. was of rather an uncommon pattern, and Beresford had no doubt of being able to liaco it. yet his < 'Tort met with uo success.

And then, pleading sickness—and God knows that was not entirely untrue; 1 think I must have been crazy—l got upstairs, and when your maid went to fill the hot water bag it was easy enough to seize the bracelet off the dressing table. It seemed as though it had been left there for me. And it saved us. But here is the pawn ticket, and if I work my fingers to the bone you shall have the money too. Try to pity me. MARY MATHEWSON. Mrs. Beresford, whose sweet voice was by this time shaking suspiciously, laid down the letter. "Oh, poor thing!"' she cried. "What did 1 tell yon? I felt somehow all the time that she was all right." "Oil, did you?" her hus band in some Indignation. "Well, you took a queer way of showing it." But Mrs. Beresford, a reminiscent look creeping into her face, heaved a regretful sigh. "Yea," sin* murmured yearningly, i "she certainly was a good cook." WHAT SHE PLAYED. The I.HNt MunieTliut Theodore Thorn >n Heard on Kuril*. During the last Illness of Theodore Thomas, although he was not at any time unconscious or delirious, he hard ly noticed the members of his family as they came and went at the bedside. But one morning he seemed to be bet ter. He made little Jokes with the doctors and his sous and talked about his White mountain home. At 12 o'clock lie seemed tired. The editor of his autobiography says that he sank into self to say to his wife In a lingering, ecstatic voice: "I have had a beautiful vision—a beautiful vision!" Then ho drifted off into silence. Ills wife thought he was tired and went downstairs to luncheon, but chief ly with the purpose of leaving blm to rest. He had given her a chime of bells, to be used In summoning the tyiuily to meals, ami because of his Illness they had never been rung In the house. Now, because he seemed so much better, she played on them a lit tle bugle call that came Into her head. "Do you know what you have play ed?" asked one of the family. "Taps— the call that is sounded over the graves of dead soldiers." She rushed back to the bells aud played the call engraved on a metal plate above them. Afterward she found that this was reveille, the sol dier's signal to rise. So It had chanced that the last mil /de Theodore Thomas heard on earth had been symbolic of death and the resurrection.—Youth's Companion. STAMMERING. The Care That One Sufferer Invented May Help Others. Among the minor arts of great Im portance Is the sc'.f cure of stammer ing, which comes upon so many in early youth. In the 'memoir of the autiior of "John Inglesant," which his widow prepared, we read a rather touching confession. "I contracted the habit of stammering," wrote Mr. Short house to Lady Welby, "as a delicate little boy of three at a large day school. It was not such a misfortune as might be supposed. Tor without tit is thorn in the fles'i 'John Inglesant' would never have been written or conceived, and much which is very dear to me In philosophy would have been un known." Few stammerers can bring forth a classic from their affliction, and some would even refuse the au thor's fame at the price of the speak er's embarrassments. hi many cases the self cure of stam mering is easy. The present writer was a sufferer when a boy at a day school. He set himself to invent the cure. It was absolutely necessary, ho found, that the opening syllable of a sentence should be said several times before the sentence was under wa'y (just as the billiard player waggles his cue before the correct stroke). It oc curred that the stammering might be done sileutly. So that little boy stam mered firmly to himself with tightly closed lips, Imagining himself to be speaking. It was easy enough, when the requisite number of "tut-tut-tuts" or "gug-gug-gugs" had been achieved in silence to start the sentence. Since then he has never stammered—aloud.— London Chronicle.

"Hadn't you better go back to the ranch with ipe?" the puncher suggest ed. "Mo,'' said Overton and added sar donically: "Think I'll do the town to night.

Overton picked up one of the suit cases and climbed Into the wagon. They bumped along the street and pulled up before a rambling wooden building in front of which a sign, which the weather had rendered illegi ble, creaked In the wind. Overton bade his driver goodby, wished him luck once more and then entered the hotel. The olliee was not inviting; neither was the proprietor, who lounged In his shirt sleeves be hind the desk. Overton's heart sank. The twenty-four hours ho must wait hero for the next train bade fair to drag heavily, lie wrote his name on the smudgy register. The proprietor adjusted his specta cles, looked at the signature aud then frankly scanned h!s guest. "Well," he drawled, "I ain't got much in the way of accommodations for you. First two floors Is all took up by a thealricnl company playing here this week. Have to put you at the top of the bouse." "All right," said Overton shortly. The proprietor eyed the suit case kuowingly. "What's your Hue," he asked affably, "cigars or patent medicines?" "Neither," growled Overtou, and the proprietor lapsed into silence. Overton sat in the dingy office suiok ing moodily until supper was an nouneed. The meal was a happy dis appointment, and after it was linished Overtou felt decidedly better natured Returning t > the of lice he stood before a gaudy poster which announced that "the Gordon-Stanley company, an all star combination, will be seen at the Sandstone Opera House tlie week of June 0." He ran his eye over the repertory. "As You Like It"was billed for that evening. Shakespeare in Sandstone ba«'e fair to be amusing, lie would take In the 112 how. At 8 o'clock he repaired to the opera house an I bjlight his seat. The place was bare and dingy, redolent, too. of must and I.to cue. Shakespeare was evidently not to Sandstone's taste, for but few of the scats were filled. Before the stage a piano, badly out of tone, was belli'? maltreated by a bald headed man with black aide whiskers. The overture came to an end, the curtain went up. and the all star pro duction of "AM YOU IJke It" begun. It was a disappointing affair— neither good enough to be interesting nor bad enough to be ridiculous. It was simply dull, colorless. Overton leaning back Ui his seat, smothered several yawns and then dozed Inter mittently. As well doze here as In the hotel office, he told himself gloom lly. Suddenly he sat up, wide awake. Rosalind was on the stage, and some thing in Rosalind's voice was very, very familiar. He leaned forward, staring frankly. He watched Rosa lind's every move, he listened to every j Intonation of her voice. He was aware of a tightening at his throat and a tingling sensation In his finger.?. Of course it was only some one ab surdly like her, he told himself, and yet, when the first act Was finished, i he sought the drowsy individual who served as usher ami drew a card from his case. "Take this to Miss -er"—he consult ed his programme—"Miss Lee," he said. The usher demurred.

The man departed, but a momeirt later he returned and beckoned Over tou to follow him.

Before one of these they stopped ami the usher knocked. The door was opened, and Uosalind ! stood before them. "Phil!

"Don't—please clon't ask me about It," she pleaded. | Overtou rose, his face very grave. I "Mabel,"'' he said, "once I asked you to marry me and you refused.

"If you stay, I shan't have the strength to refuse yotr." "I don't intend to lose you again," said Overtou. settling himself stubborn ly on the trunk. That night at 11 o'clock the one clergyman In Sandstone was routed froip his Sleep to read the marriage service, and the fee he received Is still Ids record breaker.

THE DAINTY WASP. Appnratun With Which lie Make* Hl* Complicated Toilet. "Wasps are exceedingly dainty in their habits," says a writer lu the Pil grim, "and, In order that they may gratify their instinct for neatness .to tlie utmost, nature has provided them with a set of marvelously de'Uate combs and brushes. If we look closely at the wasp's legs we will find that each bears ' on Its omnuicut long Joint two small, movable spines, known as the fiptcni spurs, and If we examine these with a magnifying glass each Is seen to be provided with a row of tine teeth, so that tlie apparatus answers for a coarse and line toothed comb.

First, it passe* front legs over the face from above downward, and after repeating this movement several times draws them through tlie jaws.

The abdomen Is next care fully stroked from base to tip until every hair points In the right direction and a gloss as tine as satin is attained. Last of all, each of the six legs, in turn, is laboriously drawn betweeu two of its fellows, so the wasp is once ready to face its world." Curlonlty.

Will solid steel float in water? Steel will float If lt.be so light lu weight as not to rupture the surface tension of the liquid. Thus with a little care a fine sewing needle can be made to float on the surface of still water, especially if It is drawn through the hair a time or two, as the minute trace of oil s.> Imparted enables It to resist the wet ting action of the water, it must be understood that liquids, although they have infinitely less co hesive attraction than solids, are not absolutely devoid of this. If there were no cohesion at all betweeu the parlicles neither drops nor bubbles would be possible. Consequently every liquid may be looked upon as covered by a more or less cohesive skin of its own substance. So long as the weight of the steel or other solid body Is insufficient to break through thl; skin it will float on the surface, although heavier bulk for bulk than the liquid itself.—London Answers. {funeral Cukes. There is a grunly humorous anecdote of the dying Yorkslilreman who asked his daughter for a slice of the liam she had just removed from the stove and was refused on the ground that "ham's not for thou; ham's fort' funeral."

It was with the utmost difficulty that we could got liim togo near enough to attach a drag rope to one cauiel I wanted to rescue. In splto of our being about fifty yards from t>:»« bank of the river, lie evinced the great est anxiety, while his tnovenieuts were made with extreme caution. Despite coaxing, persuasive remon strance and at last a shower of heavy blows dealt upon his head by the exas perated mahout, tills elephant stub bornly refused togo where lie wat wanted, but with his trunk shoved OIL In front of him kept feeling Ills way with his ponderous feet, placlug them before him slowly, deliberately and me thodically, treading all the while with the velvety softness of a cat aud tak ing only one step at a time. Then sud- I deuly he would break out into a sup- j pressed kind of shriek and retreat backward iu great luste.
