SAN JOSE SCALE
TO BE ERADICATED
Professor H. A. Surface, State Econ
omic Zoologist, is now instructing a
class of twenty-sevou on the best me
thods of killing noxious insects. His
class consists of men from all parts of
the state, many of them are college
graduates,many of them are quite old,
and all are experienced in the culture
of orchard* and the problems * which
necessarily arise in the pursuauce of
such work.
Professor Surface is not dealing with
unskilled pupils, but is taking intel
ligent farmers, and gardeners and is
showing them the very best method of
eradicating the San Jose scale. Yes
terday afternoon the entire class went
to the orchard of S. S. Rupp, in Shire
manstown, and sprayed the trees in
Mr. Rupp's orchard with the lime
sulphur preparation which Professor
Surface has found far superior to any
thing else which has boeu tried any
where. The class yesterday afternoon
went through the eutire work of mea
suring, boiling and spraying the prep
aration. The latest bulletins which
Professor Surface has received from
California show that this lime-sulphur
process is being used ou the Pacific
coast with most successful rosults.
The eutire State has been divided in
!to twenty-seven districts and one of
the pupils in Professor Surface's
class will be assigned to oach district.
| With the knowledge and drill which
i they can take among the farmors of
Pennsylvania it soems most probable
that the San Jose scale will be outire
ly eradicated this year. If it is not
destroyed it will bo through indolence
or through a lack of iuterest.
A demonstration will bo given today
at the north end of the capitol, within
the enclosure. The gates will be open
so that any who wish to see the de
monstration may enter. A number of
people from Philadelphia and other
distant points came to Harrisburg yes
terday to witness the demonstration
which was given at Shiremanstown.
This demonstration will be duplicated
in every particular today when the
trees in the capitol park are sprayed
and all who wish may bo prosent.

ICARITOL SOON
READY FOR USH
HARHISBURG, Feb. 28.—Just as
soon as the workiugmen get out of the
capitol, and ouly t-Vio decorators are
left to fiuislt the work of ornamenta
tion, Suporiutoudeut of Public Build
ings aud Grounds Shumuker will be
gin the work of cleaning the building,
carting out the debris, placing the
floor coverings and putting in tlie fur
niture.
After all this lias boeu done will
come the work of installing the differ
ent departments in the new edifico
that have for sevoral years been from
under the capitol's dome.
GOVERNOR IN SOUTH WING.
The executive department, attorney
general's department, Statu depart
ment, State treasury,auditor general's
department, all now in the executive
building, will bo transferred to tho
south wing of tho capitol, noxt to the
present executive building. The school
department, in the south wing, .will
remain whero it is,and the departmei t
of public buildings and grounds will
bo transferred to the front At tho maiu
building, to tho loft of tho maiu en
trance, opposite to where Senate Lib
rarian Miller is now located, on the
first tloor.
The state police department and tho
stato health department will be sent
to the north wing, and there will bo
located the department of internal
affairs, the adjutant general's depart
ment, the agricultural department, tho
highway department,the insurance de
partment and the department of public
printing.
SOME LOCATIONS NOT DECIDED.
As yet tho locations of the stato
economic zoologist, the state game de
partment, the state fish department,
the soldiers' orphans school depart
ment and tho rooms of the house resi
dent clerk have not been determined
upon, and it is one of the problems
that confront Superintendent Shumak
or. However, he is an executive gen
ins, and ho wilt see that all are suit
ably settled in comfortable quarters
before hot weather sets in.
Tho legislative correspondent's as
sociation will occnpy one of the low
er compartments in the north wing
over looking the Italian gardens which
it is proposed to make part of the land
scape decorative scheme.

ers was Governor Pattison in 1904,
when lie moved from the diugy rooms
iu the old nortli building to the com
paratively comfortable rooms uow oc
cupied by Governor Penuypacker.
Just what will be done with the pre
sent executive building is a problem,
but it is probable that it will be con
verted into a museum and place for the
flags,t ho present flag room being con
sidered very inadequate for its purpose.

TALES OF TAMAGNO.
Some of the Great Singer's Peculiari
ties In Money Matters.
Despite the fabulous gums Tamagno
' received the great singer had a reputa
• tiou for extreme parsimony. When
! staying In Moscow lie noticed that the
i waiters in tbo- hotel furnished blm
112 dally with fresh candles, although tho
old ones had been barely used. This
vexed him, und, seeing that remon
-1 strances were of no avail—the candles,
he learned, formed a waiter's perqui
site—he began to collect the candles
himself. On leaving the botDl he gath
ered up the whole collection and dls
..-Ibuted them among the waiters when
they lined up to receive their tips.
Tamagno's one Interest off the stage
was his only daughter and her chil
dren. It wm for hor that he hoarded
his wealth, which he appears to have
I feared might slip away. With bis
daughter near him, however, he kept
open house at his villa ill Varese, near
Milan. Once, tu St. Petersburg, he dis
puted a fee of 3 fraucs for the for-
F warding of a telegram, but on hearing
that his daughter was ill he left St.
Petersburg and 40,000 rubles ($20,400)
to hurry to Milan,
112 Iu n Berlin hotel, after appearing In
i"The Prophet," for which he received
$1,250, he ordered for his supper two
, poached eggs and a bottle of mineral
, water. Eventually lie drew from ouo
of his pockets a bottle of wine, some of
which he poured Into the mineral wa
' ter. It was a bottle which he had con
trived to secrete at a banquet given In
• bin buuor two flaya before Ui Prague.

GIBSON PICTURE FAD
SEIZESJOLLECTORS
Takes Place of Post Card Craze
With Ae Young
Women.
The Gibson picture habit has been ef
fectually fastened on o bip proportion of
the reading population of thia section by
the publication by the Sunday North
American of ten of the latest of this
great American artist's pictures as art
supplement. It has started the Gibson
collection fad, and this promises to last
until the last of the pictures are out.
There WIIS a time wh«-n the Gibson girl
was the Idol of the young woman. Now
the Gibson art supplement gives every
body an opportunity to collect the artist's
works, and there will be few homes that
will not have a good representation with
in the next few weeks.
For the time being the collection of
Gfbsoil drawings has taken the place of
the collection of post cards in Philadel
phia. and the fad Is certain to spread to
all of the towns where the pictures are
made so easily obtainable.
The picture which The North American
is to issue next Sunday Is "A Castle in
the Air." it is one of the most forceful
of Gibson's works, and teaches a broad
moral lesson to young people and old
alike.
Strawberry Ridge.
The recent rains have swollen the
streams and cleared them of all ice,
without doing any damage along their
courses. The crop was sufficient for
all to fill their house. B , and those who
failed to do so need no pity.
The chicken and wafHo supper was
well attended last week. The waffles
were fine. Civile Springer entertained
the people with his new graphaphone.
Every body enjoyed it as well as the
supper. Come again, Clyde.
Frank Deihl visited David Ulrick's
last Sunday.
William Dye visited at Clark Mc-
Michacl's Sunday.
Mrs. Amelia Deihl was on the sick
list last week. We are glad to hear
she is fairly well again.
Clarence says he don't care much
for waffles but enjoys a good nap.

chestnut tree last week, which mea

In Samoa. lie said: "1 cannot say why
we are proud to be Scotsmen, but the
fact remains th.it we are. It is not
that our laud is sunny like these trop
ical isles, and its climate Is not even
lovely. Scotland's history contains lit
tle that Is not disgusting to people of
humane feelings. That long brawl
| which is called Scottish history eon
tains scarcely one object that Scots
have patience with." The address drew
tears to the eyes of a German who had
gone to the meeting violently preju
diced against Stevenson. No sooner
bad the speaker finished than the meet
lng proceeded to clasp bauds and sin?
"Auld Lang Syne."

"Yes; but, by the great horn spoou. yon
overdid it." roared the senator. "1 can
