I A Chainless Safety of ancient pat tern is illustrated above, We don't soil that kind, but we havo got a largo assortment of chain wheels of this year's make which are worthy 01 ail me praise we might bestow. The Columbus Blcuclc is a wheel that we are proud to hnn die. It is good clear through and pleases both the "font men" and tholr slow brothers. There is no tax on the pocket by continual repairs. Its first cost Is low, but the faut 'that It stands wear and tear with little atten tion makes it still cheuiicr. ALEX, RISTON. THE APPLE WORM. Hr is next to the table in usefulness. It should also be beautiful as it usually oc cupies a conspicuous position in the dining room. Like all the articles in our large stock of Furniture, our line of sideboards are distinctly graceful in design and well finished. They are not product of hasty thought and unskilled bands. Every piece is woll made and well joined. They are built to lust. Dut the most surprising thing about them is the price. We offer a Side board of wonderful value at a price that cannot be beaten. 'Hughes & Schuckers. Department of Agriculture of Pennsylva nia, Division of Zoology, Advice How to Treat It. The following advice, Untied by tho IVpnrtninl of Agriculture of Pennsyl vania., Division of Zoology, is worthy of the attention of farmers and others who hsve apple tires: THE Al'I'MC WORM OK ConUNU MOTH. This Insect (loeii an enormous amount of dnninge escli year in Pennsylvania. Figures showing just how much the loss in tho Htoto Is are not available, but the Cornell Experiment Station hits made the estinuttu that tho average crop of apples In Now York Is fi,0(K),(Ml0 barrels, which at $1.50 a barrel, would bo 7,fiK,0lM. They estimate that wormy tipples form about ono-tblrd of the crop, making the loss to t'int Slate, each year, $,5lll).(MK). To this should he udded the apples so badly Injured by tho worms that they full off before be ing gathered. As tliree-(iiai'ters of this loss can bo prevented at little cost, It Is certulnly worth while for each farmer to save his share of this hum. and the lime to at tend to the Ins'-ct Is now. TIIK LIKE OK THE APPt.B WORM. Tho worm which eats the apple comes from un egg laid either on the little apple, on the stem, or even on the leaves near by. Those eggs lire laid by a little moth ("miller") called tho Cod ling Moth, whose wings spread about three-quarters of an Inch, and which UK's mostly ut night. Tho eggs are roundish white specks, a little smaller than a pin head. When they hatch tho little worm (which Is really a caterpil lar) crawls uround on the apple, but after a short time begins to cat Its way Into the fruit. About three-quarters of the worms enter the apple at the blos som end. The caterpllur works In to tho core, where It feeds till It Is full grown, after which it leuves tho apple to find a hiding place, either under the bark of the tree or, if tho apple has ful Ion off, under rubbish on tho ground; here It chnnges Its form, spins a case of white silk around itself and is quiet for a time, after which It leaves the case as a little moth, to repeat this history. HOW TO KILL THE INSECT. The moth comes out of Its resting stage, as just described, In tho spring, about the time tho blossoms full und tho fruit "sets," and begins to lay its eggs. These hutch in arjou. a wecK and then Is tho time to kill tho caterpillar. The udiiIo at tills time, has its blossom end pointing up, and tho Httlo projec tions there (calyx lobes), are sepnrato; a week or ten days later they draw to gether. Hefore tliey havo done this, but several, days after tho blossoms have fallen, tho trees should bo sprayed with Paris green. This Is made by mixing ono pound with 100 to 200 gallons of water, and adding one or two pounds of fresh slaked lime. This spray, thrown upon the tree will fall on the upturned blossom ends of thoupplesand bo caught and held in the space between the calyx lobes, and when the worm begins to eat In there, ho Is poisoned. After tho calyx lobes draw together it is too late to spray. If, after spraying, much rain falls before tho calyx lobes close,, the troes should be sprayed again. The mixture should be kept well stirred while it is being sprayed on tho trees, SECOND BROOD. The moths from the eggs laid In the spring appear during the last of July ana first of August to lay eggs for second brood. Many of the worms the first brood that escaped being killed by the spring spraying can bo caught after they leave tho apples and are hunting for a hiding place, by taking off ail tho loose, dead bark from the tree and wrapping an old cloth around the trunk near tho lowererotches. Tho caterpillars will hide under this and can bo crushed by hand; tliosu which fall to the ground in tho fruit can be stopped from becoming moths and lay ing more eggs by picking up the wind falls and feeding thom out to stock or by letting sheep or hogs run In the orchard. Every caterpillar left to turn into a moth means more caterpillars later. There need bo no fear of poisoning from poison left on by the spray. It will be all washed off by the rains long before the apples are ripe. DOES IT PAY TO SPRAY? The cost of spraying should not be more than five or ten cents a trei while the apples thus saved will be worth many times this amount. This insect also often works in pears and it would be wise to spray these trees also. Both Wise and Trite. The great stimulant to original thought Is debt. When Huooes speaks. Ambition lis tens and Failure weeps. It takes more than a handsome Hiblo on the parlor table to keep sin out of the house. Tho average man considers other men wise only when they come to him for advice. When a rich man doesn't give ho Is called miserly, and when ho does be Is accused of seeking notoriety. Worthy men are dull: It Is tho worth less, who amuse us. A woman's character never changes; It only ripens. Love nt first sight never Interests a girl unless the man keeps right on lov ing her when she Isn't visible. It Is suld that every time a person draws his breath somebody In the world dies. Hut you shouldn't stop breatbing on that account. Homo Moplo seem to live in tho air and every time they touch tho earth they got into trouble. The only period in a woman's life when slio gives any thought to dross la between the eradlo and the grave. A full grown man exhales 17 ounces of carbonic acid gas every 24 hours. Pittsburg llnilji Arum. Rushintr the New Railroad. Tho grading of the ne railroad be tween Punxsutawney and Dayton, is progressing rapidly. The light grading Is already nearly completed., Shanties Inhabited by Slavs and Italians have been built all along tho line, and In some places are huddled together in clusters of fifteen and twenty, forming villages. Each vllliago has its store keeper, who supplies all the wants of his customers, even, It is said, to liquid contraband of war. But this may be a slander. Tho lino of thegrado presents scene of activity quite new to this heretofore quiet und peaceful section of country, und the furmers in the neigh borhood find a roudy market for every thing they have to sell.
