WILCOX, Soc’y. as: aw Isa: PEST. ‘A bulletin of fifteen pages and six figures has just been issued by the Connecticut Agricultural Station at New Haven regarding this pest, which has been so destructive of elm trees in all parts of the state. The bulletin is timely, for it appears at last the time when the beetles make their first appearance for the sea- son. ‘ They spend the winter in belfries of churches, cupolnswsnd gsrrets, where, by the way, they can be destroyed in great numbers if people would only take the pains to search them out and burn them. Just now they are flying u) the elms to feed on the opening leaves, eating round holes through them slid to lay clusters of yellow eggs which will hatch about the first of June. The larvae or grabs which hatch from these eggs will destroy the leaves by eating off the soft green tissue from their under surfaces. » - This defoliation greatly weakens the Uses and sometimes kills them. Spray~ ing when done promptly and efficient- ly will protect the foliage and kill the grubs. About themiddle of July the grub- are full grown, crawl dowri the trees, and go into the pupa stage at or near the base of the tree. These pupae can be killed by sweeping and burning pr lepspraying with krosene emulsion ' 'of soapsuds.‘ After ten .days the adults emerge and may produce a second brood the same year. but. most of the damage it done by the first brood. in the. fall the adults fly again for shelter to the winter quarters nam- ed above. The bulletin, No. 156,'prepared by W. E. Britten, the state entomologist, gives full descriptions of this insect in Its several..stages and receipts for the various spray-mixtures and apparatus used in fighting it~ The publicishould be cautioned ag- ainst the propositiondo put' a mixture of secretcomposition into a hole bored in the trunkyin order to protect the foliage against the beetle. it fails to accomplish this and only injures the tree. Another senseless measure whioch has been quite profitable to its originator is to coat the base of the trees—for the consideration of one or two dollars each-With a preparation which prevents the beetle from climb- ing the tree. There is nothing in the composition, which quickly dries, to , keep the beetles from climbing over it, but as at matter of fact, this in- sect. always flies instead of crawling info the trees, both sexes having effi- cient wings. The bulletin will be sent on request to any one in the state who applies for it to the Connecticut Agricultural Sta- tion. New.

Of our dentists we see much, or at least we have long interviews with them. While our vocal organs are un- der restraint, when we are bitted and bridled with a great flap of India rub’ her, or when a diabolical kind of drill is playing in one of our teeth, our den- tist gives us extracts from his sutobio graphy, daprecratel an urban ex- inti- recounts his adventures as an angler for roach or chub. Thus we know a good deal about our dentist. and when he assures us that he isrnot going to hurt us we appreciate the meaning of the French proverb. “When the Gaul phrase, of course, applies to the den- tist only in his professional practice when he wanders from the precise truth with the best and most humane of motives, aiming less at deception that at “suggestion." gestlblc" you may, perhaps, by an ex- tension of the principle of faith heal- ing not be hurt when the dentist takes liberties with your nerves. 0f the batter, as has been said, we know much less than of the. dentist, the physician, the hairdresser, the so- licitor, or even the shoemaker. The hairdresser appears to be interested in many engaging themes—politics. the turf, the dramatic art; on all he expresses himself with freedom; his criticism is sound and sane, We do not suspect his sanity even when he recommends hair restorers. The con- versatiou of the shoemaker is prac- tical, confined to the matter in hand—- perhaps 1 ought to say the business on foot. 0f bakers, i know little. To butchers i always long to put a ques- tion concerning their private theory of the origin of Lent, but a certain bash- fulness has hitherto prevented me from entering a butcher's shop merely to propouud this problem, and l await an opportunity hitherto denied to me (except on one occasion) of meeting a butcher in private society. On that occasion (it was a Burns dinner) a butcher suddenly and unexpectedly arose and drew a trenchanf. parallel between the clerical and the butcherly character and morals, charging heavily against the clergy. i felt that this was an intelligent man, irritated prob- ably by the institution of Lent as prej- udicial to his profession and unduly favorable to that of the fishmonger. A theory of the origin of Lent he may have entertained; but. as he did not seem to be in a very good temper I hesitated to approach hlln. Though averse from baseless conjec- ture, i shall throw a purely provision- al hypothesis. As to the origin of the proverb which (quite undeservedly) attributes deficient sanity to the manu- facturers and vendors of headgear. the truth, perhaps. is that they have never yet coped successfully with the cen- tral problem of their existence. They have never, 'to my knowledge, made a. really adequate hat-a head covering at once comfortable in wind, rain and sun, and also becoming. Of the hat of the present day it would be superflu- ously cruel to speak in disparagement. it is ugly beyond belief; it is expen- sive; nothing injures it; it is stained and ruffled by a touch; it is a mere dust trap; it does not shade the face in sunshine; it is "ruined by rain" (as Mr. Swinburne sings); it is of an odious uniformity, and in all weathers it is exquisitely uncomfortable. No man. no hatter. was maniac enough to invent this hat. It is the result of more than three centuries of evolution. always steadily degenerating from worse to Worse. About 1750 the Re— gent Morton wore a but from which ours descends by lineal generation. lie was a bad man and it was a shocking bad hat. The rims were wider and not so stiff as in our headgear, and the superjaceul. cylinder was immensely tall, retreating to a blunt, conical top. There was round it a silk hand of five to two inches in breadth, fastened by a golden brooch. if as this hat was~~for it invited beiu blown off by every hrceze—~sfill it was of felt, not of the shiny silken stuff on our bats. Rain did this hat no harm.

The hot worn by Charles 1 at his trial was bigger, fuller. black. broader lil the brim than Morton's; there was no fancy about it; it. was heavy, unbe- coming und wooed every zephyr. ()n a windy day Charles must have found it as hard to keep his hat on his head as his head on his shoulders. Still. it was of black felt, and not apt to be ruined by rain. From such lists descend those in which. through much of the nineteenth century men played cricket and golf and went out shooting and fishing. A bulgy lop‘heaviness characterized such bats, especially in France. The hatter had his way; he imposed on mankind his delirious dream, and had Tenny- son not possessed the courage to re- vert to the Charles I type, his con- temporaries might have lacked a poet as much as we do, or, at least. like us. had a crowd of poets who, can only be vclitul'ously tried as change bowlers. so to speak. 'Twas his hat that. made the life of Mr. Carlyle so sombre; he, too. fell back on a thing in soft felt. The broad Cavalier bats of the Civil War are only compatible with love locks and high boots; they wore be- coming. and they gave shade. but. on a wet. windy day they must have [men intolerable. The little threecornered hat of the eighteenth century was be- cominb, bllt the rims held about a gal- lon of water when it rained, as do those of the soft modern ’l‘yrolese or ln'igand hat. The socialist or Bible reader fiat soft black hat is really more comfortable than most, but ev- ery one does not wish to advertise his political opinion. The cocked was only saved from ridicule by Nei- son, Wellington and Napoleon, and is abandoned to superior officers. The bishop‘s hat was invented in a lucid interval of the batting frenzy, but we cannot all be bishops. The common ”bowler“ on “billy cock" (bullycock?) hat is hard. heavy, vulgar and uncom- fortable. The cloth cap is not a hat, and comfort is its only merit. Thus if. is plain that hats. through their modern history, do raise a serious pre- sumption against the sanity of their inventors. Will no hatter arise. and. ill a flash of genius, invent a comfort- able. cheap. enduring and becoming hat? it must not convey the idea that its wearers are Poets, or imper- ial Yeomanry, or Turn 0' Shaulers, or anarchists. or bishops, or generals in the army. As to women‘s hats. women have taken to wearing a. horrible flat thing which it were derogatory to the baker's art to call muffins. Till some- thing 'much better than anything We have considered is invented, the popu- lace will continue to regard batters (in their inventive capacity, 1 argue) as dean haliucines. RELATIONS TOWARD CENTRAL AMERICA. MEXICO CITY, May l7.——United States Ambassador David E. Thomp- son last nigho received a member of the staff of El Imparcial and during an interview said that the intentions of Mexico and the United States toward Central America were identical, Both countries, he said, desired permanent peace to be established in the region, but both were opposed to the use of force in bringing about such a con- dition of affairs.

That does not mean that hand em- broidery is not used, but being newer and effective many are adopting it. The woman who is careful if f. «her feet, not alone in their appears but in point of comfort, is as careful about fitting her stockings as she is her cor- set or her shoes or her dress. And when she finds a make and size on which she can depend, that is the stocking she regularly wears. She knows that corps and cramped toes and callouses can all be brought about by ill-fitting stockings. and she shuns them.
