Letter From a Christian Scientist.
To the Editor,
Dear Sir:
In your issue of the 8th you pub
lished a report of an action to com
pel Miss Agnes Young, a Christian
Scientist of New York, to restore a
piece of property which Greta M.
Arthur, a patient, declared that she
had deeded away while under mental
influence.
Notwithstanding Miss Arthur
makes such a charge Miss Young de
nies It. The testimony in the case
showed that Miss Young consulted a
real estate agent who placed the value
of the property at the price that Miss
Young agreed to pay for it.
A witness testified that MIbs
Young was at first opposed to taking
over the house at any price, but that
she did so out of regard for Miss
Arthur.
We have no desire to uphold any
conduct that Is not legitimate and
Christian. A true Christian Scientist
could never be guilty of using a per
sonal influence of any kind. He
could only make a plea in behalf of
the omnipotence and goodness of
God and in behalf of righteousness
and truth. If he undertook to will
the carrying out of certain transac
tions he would be obliged to depart
from tho practice of Christian Sci
ence and resort to a subterfuge that
is entirely contrary to the teaching
of Christian Science.
Yours sincerely,
FRANK BELL. .

A RUBBER-HEEL CAMPAIGN.
Tho Democrats aro making a rubber-heel
campaign for tho election
of their, candidate for Judgo of the
Supreme Court, Hon. C. LaRue Mun
son; whether it wlll bo effective de
pends entlroly on tho Republicans of
Pennsylvania. This 1b an off-year in
politics. It is possible that there will
be many Republicans who will not
take enough interest in the campaign
to attend tho election, and it iB likely
that many easy-going Republicans
may be induced to give Mr. Munson,
who 1b an affable, genial gentleman
and an astute politician, a compli
mentary voto. If enough Republi
cans can be Induced to vote for Mun
son to seriously cut Into the Repub
lican vote, and if a large number of
Republicans should hold their party
allegiance so lightly as to stay away
from the polls, it might easily spell
defeat for the Republican candidate,
Judge MoschzlBkcr. Wo would not
have it thought that we are alarm
ists,, but it certainly can do no harm
to call attention to the situation as
it is rapidly developing. Tho cam
paign the Democrats aro making for
their candidate is being conducted
with great Judgment. They are not
holding meetings or parades under
the ephemeral Inspiration of tho
blare of brass bands, but with their
candidate are quietly slipping around
the State calling on the members of
the bar, meeting the peoplo with a
glad hand, and Insisting to all they
meet that their candidate is non
partlsian, that the office of tho su
preme judge should be removed from
politics, etc. This is certainly an
effective method to use, for It is the
only possible policy that could win
for tho Democrats in tho State of
Pennsylvania. However, it should
not be forgotten that Mr. Munson is
the candidate of the Democrats and
has the united support of his party at
his back. He is a Democrat and is
the candidate of the Democratic par
ty, and as such should be treated the
same as the candidates of the Repub
lican party are treated by Democrats.
Judge Moschzisker Is a man of abili
ty, Is eminently qualified for the high
position to which he aspires, and Is
a Republican because that party Is
the party of progress and prosperity.
Let every Republican remember
these things when they are approach
ed to vote for Mr. Munson. Holll

SPRAYING MATERIAL.
State Zoologist Surface Gives Some
Good Advice.
Following Information was given
by Professor H. A. Surface, State
Zoologist, Harrlsburg, as to the
spraying of twelve trees of ordinary
size, in answer to an inquiry from a
Lebanon county man as to what ma
terial to use, and how much would
be needed for each tree:
"I note by your letter that you
make Inquiry concerning the amount
of material needed for spraying about
twelve 'ordinary' trees. However,
you do not state what kind of trees
they are, and It makes quite a differ
ence as to whether they are peach or
apple, quince or pear, or even forest
trees. However, if they be the size
of a full-grown peach tree, you can
count on their taking from two to
three gallons to the tree. A full
sized apple tree will take from three
to ten gallons. This would mean
from one to two fifty-gallon barrels
of the spray liquid to twelve trees.
Tho best thing you can do for trees
with San Jose scale is to boil seven
teen pounds, of sulfur and twenty
two pounds of lime in enough water
to boll It, using anything but a cop
per vessel. It will not Injure iron.
Stir it occasionally. After it has boil
ed for fully an hour, strain it, and
add enough water to make a total
bulk of fifty gallons. Water can
be added during the process of strain
ing and will help to wash it through
the strainer. Do not use a cloth
strainer for the fibers or little threads
may go through and help to clog tho
nozzle. The best kind of strainer ia
ono with a straining wire put across
tho bottom in such a way that it will
be higher at ono side and lower at
the other, or one built like a cone
standing upright and pointing up
ward with the funnel. The best ma
terial to use in making this strainer
is brass wire cloth, with about thirty
meshes to the inch. You can have
such a strainer made by any tin
smith at a cost of about ono dollar.
"Spray your trees thoroughly after
'the leaves drop. There is no use to
spray for scale now while tho leaves
are on. Do this when tho wind is
blowing slightly in one direction, and
when it blows In another direction
spray them again. Be sure that you
touch every speck of the bark from
tip of the most remote brandies to
tho base of tho trunk. In addition
to the Bpraylng, cut or prune back tho
trees sovorly, or In proportion to tho
amount of injury, removing hot only
the dead but also the dying wood."
