The Wingham Times, 1912-11-28, Page 66 HE romp THE QUESTION iDestruction of the Canadian Tamarack A certain old bachelor, very rich, wits naturally the "catch" of the place, • and when he began paying attention to I pretty larked -eyed belle who did not 4e - long exactly to the haute noblesse, much and furious was the jealousy dis- played. played. The bachelor, however, noth- ing daunted, gave a dance on the usual basis of being gladly helped by his lady friends. A relative of his, an elderly woman, was known well for her bad temper and alto for her wish to keep tae bachelor from becoming a benedict. She had taken more or less control of the dance arrangements and we young people were greatly excited when the news crept out towards the end of the evening that the bachelor had popped the question - and had been accepted. Nothing was said then, but the next (lav we drove in for the articles lent for the supper tables, etc., and sitting in the carriage while our friends went in for the things we suddenly heard a yell and then a storm of excited abuse. The next moment the door banged open and the bachelor flew down the steps with a glass lamp after him, shivering in a thousand P ie es, evidently flung from a furious band. We heard after- wards that the news of the engagement had proved too much for the elderlyre- lative, and in her anger she, as the children say, "let out" at him, with the lamp to mark her rage! The rest dispersed in a subdued condition, and I shall never forget the excitement caus- ed by the display of temper.—M. For- sythGrant, in on "Old-time Ontario hartp,'-; in the November CANADIAN IIIAG ii;1NE, The almost total destruction of the tamarack, or larch, which took place throughout Eastern Canada almost thir- ty years ago was caused by an insect, the Larch Sawfly. It appeared again about eight years ago and in its spread m westward it is repeating its former de- vastation on the younger tamaracks. To all who are interested in our for- ests the appearance of a comprehensive account of this insect entitled "The Large Larch Sawfly, with an account of its Parasites, other Natural Enemies and Means of Control," by the Domin- ion Entomologist, Dr. C. Gordon Hew- itt, will be welcome. This has been pub- lished by the Dominion Department of Agriculture as Entomological Bulletin No. 5 & Bulletin No. 10 of the Second Series of the Experimental Farm Bull- etins, and may be had free, on applica- tion to the Publications Branch, De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Dr. Hewitt has studied the life -his- tory, habits and means of control of this injurious sawfly, both in England and North America. In England, it was found that the natural enemies, es- pecially parasitic insects, effectively gained control of outbreaks of the in- sects. Other natural enemies were mice and birds and a system of bird encour- agement was started on a large scale. The devastating spread of the sawfly in North America was due to the com- parative absence of the natural means of control. Several important species of parasites new to science were dis- covered and have been studied and de- scribed. To increase the number of natural enemies of the Sawfly, attempts are being made to introduce and es- tablish in Canada parasites which were discovered in England and which ap- peared to control the pest there. An account of these interesting experi- ments and of the methods devised to encourage the birds and other means of control are described in this bulletin, forty-two pages consists of --two of y p ges and contains twenty-six figures, including a coloured plate. The publication of this bulletin is indicative of the atten- tion which the Division of Entomology is now devoting to the insect pests of our forests which are responsible for ncalculable loss each year. 111 11: hooking Cougtt, Ates.

Oranges, bananas and figs cut up to- gether make a very delicions desert. Celery roote, boiled, cooled and cut into dice, make a very acceptable salad.

Wipe varnished wall papers with a damp cloth. Other papers are best cleaned with sour bread. Every kitchen should have among its supplies a saw for trimming meat and some larding needles. It will save fine hose if a piece of vel- vet is glued inside the heel the moment a shoe begins to rub.

William Fawcett, a pioneer of Minto township and a veteran of the Fenian raid, died at his home near Palmerston at the age of ninety-four. A Detroit moving picture manager announced from the stage the other ev- ening that there was a man with a gun at the entrance waiting to shoot his •wife and her male escort.

Two old age pensioners were wedded in the Parish Church an Rowde, near Devizes, England, the other day, and the ceremony was the consummation of a romance of childhood's days. Jesso Blackiand and Lydia Sifnnls `vent to school in the village over 60 years ago, and were sweethearts, but they drifted apart, and each married someoao else. Their native village was en fete for the occasion. They were taken to and from the church in a motor car lout by the Mayorofof Devizes, in Whichh they after- wards had a short tour for the honey- moon. A band of lady ringers rang pearls in honour .of the event. A singu- lar feature is that the bridegroom, who is 71 years of age, has now been mar- ried on three occasions in the same ehureh.

In 1905, only seven years ago, the United States and Argentine stood on a practically equal plane in the matter of dressed beef exports to Britain. In that year United States exports in this line totalled 2,232,000 tons, and those of Ar- gentine 2,5E0,000 tons. Since that time the exports of Argen- tine have increased to nearly five mil- lion tors, while those of the United States have dropped to less than 6,000 tons. In other words, the United States has ceased to be an exporter of meat. Icer imports at present largely exceed her exports. :.\Y of our boys and girls t ej have ju= t received one of our is•aradian Fav Tri MAPLE LEAF MS You eau earn one too, easlly.

The disease spread all over me, even on my face and head and the itching and burning was hard to bear. I used eight boxes of Dr. Cnase's Ointment and am entire- ly cured—not a sign of a sore to be seen. I can hardly praise this Oint- ment enough.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the countrythan all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounc- ed it incurable. Science has proven ca- tarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat- ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

Osbourue gives an interesting glimpse or Itobert Louis Stevenson in conversation in the following account of his second call on 11rs. Virgil Wil- liams: "Ile had a peculiarly beautiful voice, with a rich, round, but not provincial Scotch accent. While he conversed with Mrs. Williams he paced up and down the floor in tits usual fashlon, with rapid and graceful motion, or hung on the mantelpiece. It was not strange that the conversation turned on the subject of the relations of America and great Britain. "Stevenson regretted that England lied lost the colonies. Ile pictured the states under British rule, with Amer - Ira the seat of government of the whole empire. IIe• dwelt upon the benefits that would have accrued to the whole English speaking race from such a nnion and to all mankind; with (treat Britain and America ruling the world for peace and righteousness.

When the Cup That Cheers May Be- come a Menace to Health. It is only In cetnparatively comparativelyrecentent tinges that tea drinking has been at all prevalent in this country. Coffee is the national drink and is more largely con- sumed by far than any other beverage. L'ut tea drinking Is, making great strides. the reason for which is not hard to find. The advantages. of tea over coffee.as a stimulating and cheer- ' ing drink do not consist In a superiori- ty of its component parts, but in the fact that a good tett can be more easily produced than a good coffee and that it is more easily made than coffee. `' A very great deal of the virtue of coffee consists in the manner in which it is converted into a beverage, and seldom is the art carried out efficiently. Many of the concoctions which are sold as coffee in restaurants and consumed in private houses are not worthy of the name. On the other hand, tea is easily made, the chief 'point being that the water used for the infusion boils and that the infusion is drunk when flesh and not allowed to stand. however, there are occasions, and these not infrequent, when tea drink- ing is harmful. Tea poisoning Is a more or less common condition in those countries in which the habit of drink- ing tea is prevalent, as in England, for instance. Among the working classes the women often become addicted to. the tea habit and not only drink to ex- cess, sipping tea throughout the day, but driuk it in such a state that the poisonous properties are most evident. The tea is in a stewed condition, the pot being kept on the stove the whole day. Men, -too, who work at indoor trades and at trades which from their nature tend to create thirst often be- come excessive tea drinkers.—Medical Record. • Women In Politics. As long ago as 1870 women were among the speakers at both Republican and. Democratic national conventions, and in 1000 Mr. Bryan's nomination was seconded by a woman delegate from Utah. The first woman's suffrage convention 'was held at Seneca Falls, N. Y„ in 1848. But the Movement was by no means new even then. Abigail Adams and Mary Warren tried to se- cure recognition of women when the federal constitution was made, and In colonial days Margaret Brent, as ex- ecutrix of Lord Baltimore, demanded a seat in the assembly of Maryland.— Chicago News.
