I { "Ht = © | TREO pp pos! fo NAIR i - 1 aS - me Destroy Tussock Moth Eggs Now. A representative of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company, Altoona, wrote to Prof. H. A. Surfaee, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, and sent a number of white cocoons which were attached to masses of small white eggs covered with a white frothy substance. 5 “He said he had obtained them from the shade trees;of that city, and asked. “Will you kindly advise me what they are and the best method of destroy- ing them?”’ / To this communication Professor Surface replied as follows: . “We duly received the specimens that you sent to us from trees in your city, and can say that all the speci- mens received were the egg masses and cocooems of the White-marked tussock moth. This insect is peculiar in the fact that the wingless females come from the cocoons and l&y their eggs in masses on the old cocoons, Jand then cover them with a frothlike ‘substance that dries and protects them. There they remain exposed, chiefly an the trunks and larger branches of the trees, until sprirg, when the worms or larvae hatch and spread to the leaves, where they feed extensively. After reacking their full growth they again formweocoons@n the bask, or ii. some protected place, and the w¢ycle is completed. “The best means of suppressing e:leafless season when they can be n. It would be am easy thing to pick hundreds of sueh masses in a day and thus get rid of tens of thousands ‘of the worms or caterpillars that would «come next summer. These caterpillars are covered with tufts of white, black mand red hairs, and itis from the white marks on them caused by these haies ‘that the species takes its name. ‘Where it is not convenient to climb ‘the trees to pick off the cocoons, these can be destroyed by temoching them wyith ‘a sponge or rag saturated with kerosene or some other penetrating oil «ad attached to the end @f:a pole. It ;is a good plan to have:seme lamp black in the kerosene, 80 that the coemons .and egg massesthat have been touched will become dissolored,.and the person working around the trees will know when they are finished, rather than leave some untreated, because by not Jbeing stained he can not see that they, were destroyed. ‘““After the worms or larvae hatch in the spring they-can be destroyed easily by spraying with two pounds of dry arsenate of lead or four pounds of lead paste in fifty gallons of water, ‘but this is more of a job and more ex- pensive than destroying the egg asses Now. +#‘They commence to feed shortly after the green leaves first appear,and consequently, the spraying for them should be done early. It is a matter of considerable impertance to order the spray materials that are needed during the season, and have them on hand. Also, prepare proper apparatus for the work. No special powerful apparatus is necessary for this, as all that is needed is hose long enough to reach to where the pests are feeding, and then ordinary methods of spraying will destroy them. A barrell sprayer is sufficient if it is equipped with long hose, extension rods and ladders for whem is to pick them by hand «during ] Pra 86 , reaching parts of the trees that are infested. “‘I recommend an earnest effort to enlist the co-operation .of school chil- «dren in destroying the egg masses af ‘the Tussock moth. This can be done :and ‘will be found very successful.” eer stems elena: Clears the Complexion. Discovery that Remowes Pimples, Eczema and all Skin Troubles.

Ogontz.—Wearing an ultra-fashion- able gown, which he had explained he Lad “hooked” from a delivery wagon, John Brendall, a tramp, was arrested | ing along Old York road. The prison= er said he took the skirt to “protect my physical system from the wintry winds.” “Darn the narrow skirts,” sald Brendall, when he was arraigned before a magistrate. “If it hadn’t been for these new-fangled notions I could have got away. But what chance has & guy to run in skirts like these?’ As It was the second time Brendall has been arrested in the Ogontz section recently, the magistrate sentenced him to 30 days in prison. : ‘Sharon.—No reason has as yet been assigned for the mysterious disappear ance of Miss Esther Kiss, a teacher in ‘the Farrell public schools. Miss Kiss left her home in Farrell on. Wednes- day, January 14. Her parents believed she would return in a day or two, but 2 week having passed and no word having been received from her, the police were asked to make a search. Later her parents received a telegram from her, dated Chicago, and the next day they ‘got a letter from her saying she was safe and intimating’ that she would return in a few days. Her brother @nd sister started for Chicago upon receipt of the message. Sunbury.—“I came to Sunbury to murder a policeman, but now 1 <can- not do ‘it.

He stopped the car, and, with five male passengers, got off amd fought the flames with buckets of water mntil fire- men from adjacent towns could re- spond to a call for help. The men were handicapped by: lack of water and used a milk pail and a dishpan to put out the flames, which raged ‘in a second-story room. When the ‘fire was discovered, the family was at Weidman, father of the owner, and the hired man being on the premises, and they had been in the Bobacco shed looking after the stove there when the fire in the house broke out. The loss was several hundred dollars, Pottsville.—George W. Slater of Mer. iden, Nev., and Bessie Allen Slater of Pittsburgh lost the suit they brought to invalidate the will of their father, H. P. Slater, who left only a small por- tion of his $200,000 estate to his chil- dren, giving a large amount for the ‘es- tablishment of an aged women’s home under the auspices of the Second Pres- ‘byterian church of Pottsville.

They had enjoyed the sport and ventured out along the shore of an island, where the ice was smooth and the skating excellent. They had, however, failed to notice that the wa- ter began running over the ice toward shore, and being unable to ¥eturn on their skates, were marooned on the island. Seeing their predicament, some of their friends on the shore pro- cured boats and went to their rescue, subsequently landing them safe on land, pe by Policeman Brown as he was stroll- | church, only an aged mam, John S. | LESSON (sy E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) : LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 1 THE UNFRIENDLY NEIGHBOR LESSON TEXT—Luke 11:1-13, GOLDEN TEXT—‘“Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.”’— Luke 11:9. . The only record we have of this par able is in this gospel. This portion of Scripture is usually ‘thought of as be- ing a great teaching on prayer. It is that, and it is more than thet. It is a great illustration of the sound princi- ples of pedagogy employed by that wonderful Bible teacher, our Lord and Savior. 1. Teaching by example (v.1). There was that in the prayer life of Jesus malistic religionists of his day, some thing that inspired the request, “Lord different, it was effectual. Notice, in passing, ithe respect of the disciples “when be had ceased.” If there is one lesson the oncoming generation needs to leam ‘it is that of reverence. His prayers were too sacred to permit of any imtrusion. His praying also awoke in their memory the prayer life of John ‘the Baptiser. There is deep psy- chology here. Observation, memory, perception, concept, all in their logical order. Most Wonderful Prayer. I. Teaching by formula (vv. 2-4). The ‘human mind is weak and needs that assistance which is to be found in a lear statement of truth. Not always ‘can we have the benefit of a strong personality. Hence Jesus gives us a ‘formula, or prayer, often called the "“‘Liord’s Prayer,” but more correctly termed ‘the disciples’ prayer.” This ‘is in some respects the world’s most ‘wonderful prayer, certainly the most ‘familiar. Lacking in personal pro- ‘nouns, it begins with that matchless ‘conception of God, “our Father” it de- scends step by step from a considera- tion of his hallowed name, his king- «dom, and his will (Luke 22:42) in heaven and upon earth, down to the question of our need of daily food. It then sweeps backward through the re- lations of mankind to each other, to temptation, to the power of sin, back (Matt. 6:13) to God once more, back to the Alpha and Omega. In it is in vocation, supplication and adoration. It sweeps the whole gamut of man’s need, physical, mental and spiritual. It begins in heaven, it encircles the earth, it rebounds to those realms of glory from which the Son came, and to which he returned. A study of the prayers of the saints, living and dead, ought to be more emphasized. This kingdom here mentioned is yet to be fully established. A kingdom de mands a king (Rev. 22:20); its bezin. ning, though, is in the hearts of men: iit implies entire submission to God's will (Luke 22:42); it delights in doing that will (John 6:38, Eph. 6:6); it de mnands an entire sanctification of our lives, and a desire that his will shail rule in the earth (1 Thess. 4:3). The fifth petition is not the prayer of the unsaved sinner {John 9:31). Fellow- ship with God depends upon our will ingness to forgive others (Matt. 6:14, 15; Mark 11:25); but that is not the ground of God’s forgiveness (Eph. 1:7: 4:32). God does not tempt men (Jas. 1:13); he does permit temptation ta «© ssail us, such as moderm economic raver allows us to be tempted above » nat we can bear (1 Cor. 10:13). Vol ‘umes have been written about this vrayer and yet its fulness has not even ‘been suggested. The teacher who really prays cannot be a failure, for he ‘hag the power of God behind his labor. Te must, however, not limit himself to ‘his prayer only (Phil. 4:6; Jas. 5:13, i4). The Christian’s prayer must be in the name of Christ, which is not named here, for he was not yet cruci- fied. The Holy Spirit. M1. Teaching by parable (vv. 6-10) “A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.” Only the teacher who can translate truth into terms of “it is like” has really begun to teach. Let us beware, however, of a wrong comparison and of to vivid details. This is mot a picture of God, only by way of contrast is he suggested. There are three friends here: (1) The needy one in his journey; (2) the needy one who was host, and (3) the needy one who ‘was 2 selfish neighbor. The pau- perism of the second was inexcusable (Phil. 4:19); the wandering of the first at night time cannot go unchal- lenged (Matt. 28:20). As for the third, it was a most unseasonable hour and his friend's insistence was unrea- sonable, yet, his insistence emphasized the urgency of the request and the, con- fidence of a friend. IV. Teaching by contrast (vv. 11-13). Pedagogically considered this is the application. Notice it is introduced by the word “for” and the summary is the INTIDNATIONAL | SUNDAYS CHO0L that was different than that of the for- |. teach us to pray.” His prayer life was | Condensed Report of the Condition of the SECOND NATIONAL BANK, of Meyersdale, Pa., AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS, JANUARY 13, 1914.
