Curtis as his leisure time from his
bank duties will permit. ’
The firm will manufacture the over-
alls and trousersat the factory, but the
sh11 is which the of soft material and,
known in the trade as “workingmen s
shirts” will be given out to be made,
thus giving work to many outside

-It is said that the enterprise is well
'oacked financially and is expected to
be a success, which the many friends
of the young men hope will prove true.

Many Depot Burglaries.
The officials of the Central New
En gland R:1ilway Company have been
bothered conside1ably for the past six
Weeks because of the frequent burglar-
ies at the stations along the line. No
less than thirty have been broken into
in that time. The station at Norfolk
and those at Pine Plains and Ancram
were entered Monday night. At each
place the burglars made a raid on the
automatic machines and the telephones
and opened a number of express pack-
ages. The officials are of the opinion
that the‘burglaries are being committ-
ed by a gang that is going along the
line. In no instince have tickets been
stolen from a depot.

'Stars Instead of Stripes.
Postmaster-General Smith has issued
an order providing that after December
13, 1899, the length of term ofservice of
letter carriers shall be indicated by
stars on each sleeve of the uniform coat
instead of by stripes as now. ‘The new.
regulation provides that the stars shall
be as follows: Five yerrs’ service, one
black star; ten years, two black stars;
fifteen years, one red star; twenty
years, two red stars; twenty-five years,
one silver star; thirty years, two silver
stars; thirty-five years, one gold star;
forty years, two gold stars. There is no
provision for longer service, as faithful
cai‘riers who have served longer are en-
titled to a place am mg the stars around
the throne. To distinguish them from
regular carriers, substitute carriers
»are to wear a black cloth bar on each
sleeve, one- -fou1 th inch wide and 111

Famous Scotch Poet Honored by His

Honnmexltal Tower at Mauchline at
Last Completed—Surrounded by
Cottages to Be.Oceupied by
Honorable Poor Families.
“The beautiful and unique memorial
monument at Mauchline to Robert
Burns, the great Scotch bard, is at-
last completed. ‘
This announcement should come in
the form of a. pleasant sul pr1se to the
many lovers of Burns in America, not
a few of whom have contributed to
the cost of the memorialflagd who will
doubtless, quite naturally, 'be inter-
ested in the statement that the men-
ument is finished and that several of
the memorial cottages adjacent to it
are already occupied by several fam-
ilies of old, folks on whom fortune
hasmot looked kindly.
In many respects this monument to
Burns is the most interesting and
worthy memorial which. has ever in
modern times been erected to the
memory of a» great poet of the people.
While the charitable side to the
scheme is evidanced by the support
by the Burns Memorial association of
a number of worthy poor, lifelong res-
idents of the neighborhood in which
Burns made his home, is entirely
unique in connection with plojects of
a similar nature.
The charitable feature of the memo-
rial, it is believed, would be entirely in
accord with the wishes of Burns him-
self, as his distinguishing trait was
his sympathy with all manner of suf-
fering and sorrow. ‘
Thinking of these things, and of the
class from which the poet sprang, the
directors of the GlangW Mauchline so-
ciety (a benevolent society formed in
Glasgow for the stimulating of old
friendships and the revival ,of new
amongst natives of Mauchline and

fliends) thought it would not be a
bad idea, 100 years after the death of
Burns, to endeavor to erect a memo-
rial at Mauchline, such as the one
which has been recently completed. '
It may be said that the idea of the
monument at its present juncture for
the world famed baid originated at
the annual reunion of the society in
Glasgow in F‘ebiuan, 1895.
The chairman, Bailie John Marr, J.
I’., suggested that, 1896 being the
centenary year of the poet s (101 11h, a '111
short should be made to elect some
monument in memory of Burns at
Mauchline. Next to his biithplace he
thought it the most impeltnnt shrine
for 1v orshipeis of the “bald Heie he
got his wife, Jean Armoui, and here
and at Mossgiel, 01111 a few iiiinntr'ns
walk from Maucl1line,did the poet do
much of his best- w 01k.
Mr. J. Seiper Gen1n1ill took his turn
as president in 1896 and was also re-
elected in 1897. During the second
1enr Mr. Thomas 11116191 son Battegate
left piopertv valued at £1,000 to the
scheme, 1'. hich made 11 start for the
building. and on the 23d of July-.1896,
the memorial stone of the tower was
laid with full masonic honors in the
presence of a large gathering by the
chief mason, Hugh ll. \\-"nllnce;. of
Cloncnird. a scion of the house of the
Scottish hero, Sir William Wallace;
There were present this ceremony
Miss Daisy Baries ll_‘11:."l1ll‘lsorl, 11 great-
granddanglitei of the poet. and a Miss
Burns, a "1 andnaun'hter of the' poet.
On Novembei 23,1897. the cottages
were occupied, on which occasion the
president, Mr. Gemmill, and his good
rectms and their 1111 cs to tea in honor
of the interesting event .
In 1898 llli.\la1‘cus B11111, J. P., of
the celebrated Ballochmyle stone
quarries assumed the presidentship
for the Glasgow denizens and opened
the "memorial, after which Mr. Thomas
Killin had the honor of handing it Over
in the name of the subscribers to Mr.
Bain for the Glasgow Mauchline so-
ciet1.
The museum already has a few in-
teresting relics, such ,ns the nurserv
chair on which Mrs."‘Burns nursed all
her family, presented by Burns’
granddaughter, Mrs. Sarah Burns
Hutchinson, of Chelbenham, England.
During the course of a chat the
other day had by aLPhiladelphja Press
man with the poet’s granddaughter,
Mrs. Sarah Burns Hutchinson, of
Cheltenham, she expressed great de-
light at the success of the memorial
project and spoke highly of it. Among
other things she said:

' VALUABLE FORMULAS.
Fungicides for the Destruction
of [meets and Seals”.
The following formulas 'for prepar-
ing insecticides and fungicides for the
been found very satisfactory and are
highly recommended by those who have
given them a trial. '11. .
For destroying the cod‘ling moth, l
canker worm, c111 culio and leaf insects
of. various kinds that infest apple,
peach, plum, etc., mix a pound of lon-
ion purple or paris green in a half
pail of water, stirring until every lump '
and particle of dry material is thor-
oughly incorporated; then dilute with
200 gallons of water for the‘first spray-‘
ing. For the sec0nd spraying increase
the amount of water by the addition of
40 gallons. If a third spraying is re-‘
quired add' still another 40 gallons of
water. The foliage is more easily in-
jured as the season progresses, there-
fore the necessity of _d11ut1ng the ma-
terial used at each subsequent applica-
tion. Apply after the bloom falls and
at intervals of ten days thereafter.
For leaf scab, with which orchard-
ists have had so much trouble and
have so faithfully labored to destroy,
and mildew .on grapevines, grape rot
and other fungus diseases, the follOW‘
ing has proved efiieientr Dissolve six
pounds of sulphate of copper in hot
water in a wooden vessel. Slack four
pounds 'of fresh lime in another ves-
sel and strain out all the coarser ma-
terial. Dilute the lime with 50 to 75
gallons of water and then add the sul-
phate of copper. This is for use on
plants in leaf. Copper sulphate solu-
tion, which should be used only on
plants in early spring before leaves
appear, is made by dissolving one
pound of sulphate of copper in 25 gal-
lons of water to be used in this form.
A combination mixture for both in-
sects aud fungi is made by/ putting
london purple or paris green in a bar-
rel with Bordeaux mixture. The bark
louse yields to the following: One
pound of common soap dissolved in
one gallon’ of hot water; add two gal—
lons ,_ of kerosene and,.cl1'urn, with a
force pump if you have one, or by stir-
ring until the kerosene and soapsuds
are thoroughly mixed. If the work
has been done .right the emulsion will
have the appearance of very thick
cream, and the oil will remain incor-
porated with the soap and water. Di-
lute with 30 to 75 gallons of water
when using. Any of the mixtures will
prove very destructive to the pests if
applied properly. They should be ap-
plied with a force pump with a spray
nozzle.
