Morris Leiner and Lavi Milrod, of New

death o! their two sone, who, they al
lege,were smothered to death in the hold
of the steamship Herman, on which
they had taken passage with a party
from Russia for this country.
Ghalra Sllvermand, ons of the party
says: Tho party was conducted down
three flights ol stairs. They were told
that they must be kept ont ol eight on
tit the Russian officers had lalt the ehip.
A trap door wae lilted, and fifteen emi
grants were told to go down in tho hold
They demurred, but were told that they
would te kept there but a few mlnntea,
when they would be released. No one
came to release them, and one by on#
they ceased to breathe.
Michael Frachensberg, a paseenger,
saw the imprisoned men brought from
the hold. He saye that of the fifteen
who wont in the hold, six were already
dead. The other nine were revived.
The bodies of the eix were thrown over
board, and the other* were told that it
they made complaint after landing at
Hall, England, they would be taken
back to Russia.
►'our Big Storm*.
Cincinnati, Ohio, wae visited by four
big rain and hailstorms accompanied by
terrific thunder and lightning. The
first storm came at 12:80, when the
clouds made the city as dark as night.
The storms followed with intermissions
averaging half an hour. The rain con
tinued till night. Telegraph and tele
phone communications were cut off lor
some time. Reports from the railroads
indicate that the storm extended many
miles north. Numerous barns were de
stroyed by lightning or blown down,
Trees wero blown across the tracks, and
there was much damage from the wind
as well as from washouts. The sowers in
the city were inadequate.
SOME OK THE NEW HATS.
Tulin 1* feed (or Trimming and, i
Conran, Flower. Are Plentiful.
There are plenty of picture hate
among the new styles, anti the tulle tie*
and loops eonte in nicely as artistic ad
ditions to the costume. You can have
tulle Jlcs on tiny kind of a hat,. It. is
not necessary to have it bonnet, to put
them on. Green and violet, tulle are
the pret tiest colors. An exquisite lit
tle hat Is made of yellow straw- straws,
l was going to say, for the hat is a
peculiar arrangement of little straws,
set side by side, with a violetat the end,
forming nit edge of violets all around
the brim. Tulle loops almost conceal
the crown. Another dream (dream
mm* an especially appropriate term
for a tulle iiat) bus a combination of
two shades of green tulle. There is
absolutely nothing on the lint—a
round, bluek straw—but some stand-
up frills of light and dark green tulle
around the crown. Almost anybody
can have a hut like this. All that, is
necessary to do is to buy tut untrimmed
hnt. and cover it. over with tulle. A
flower or two to stand up nt the Itnek
or at. the left side of the front is a
great addition. The. tulle ties ure
knotted in a large bow under the chin.
Flowers maVerueatb the brim are set
at the back, where most of the lints turn
up. In the ease of “nose hats" that
tip down over the fare, the brim is not
always bent up at. the buck, but in
stead the. whole hat is propited up, as it
were, with n bank of flowers and rib
bon. Small button roses are very
pretty for the bandeaux under the brim.
Flower lints are fashionable for
women of nil ages. A violet bonnet is
suitable for an elderly lady with white
hair, hut made in unoUier shu|te it. be
fits a golden-haired lassie quite as well.
X. Y. Memory.
Do You Use It?
It’s the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re
move! dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

Protection from Babbits.
In a reoent issue W. M. M. asks for a
wash that will prevent rabbits from
barking fruit trees. Twenty-flve years
of experience in orcharding has taught
me not to trust to any wash to save my
trees from Injury by rabbits. Have
tried several kinds, but always with this
result: When the weather turns cold
and clear, then "br’er rabbit’’ goes for
the young trees, wash or no wash.
The wire cloth mentioned In reply to
W. M. M. is excellent for the purpose,
but it Is oostly. And to depend on corn
left In the orohard to furnish the rabbits
food so they will not eat the bark of
trees will not do at all. I have been pro
teoting the trees in a young orchard to
December 20, where there is corn
n shocks, and just across the fence a
corn Said unhusked, aad the. rabbits
have begun to sample the tender bark
of the young apple trees.
This Is my remedy, and It Is effeotlve
and cheap: Take newspapers and out
them so the leaves will come apart.
Fold the leaf once and wrap around the
trunk of the trees and tie onoe at the
top. Then bank up a little earth around
the bottom, whloh will hold the paper
In place and braoe the tree againet wind

meadow mice, which are destructive as

The annual bull of t.he Occidental Ly

height when the muster of ceremonies,
i. gentleman iu full dress Vi's! and trou

pins in his shirt front,vaulted airily into
the middle of the ballroom floor and
suid, with an ominous glitter in his eye:
"I am informed by some of the Indies

the Aggers of the dances and when I
sing out: ’Swing yer ducUsy-daddies!’
these gents swing their ladies clear olT’n

An Apology.
A man who lias a reputation for be

elected town clerk in one of tho small

the local |xiper thought it would In* a
good joke to announce that: “Mr.
Makeup will wash himself la* fore lie as
sumes the office of town clerk." On
reading the notice Mr. Makeup was
furious, and demanded a retraction,
which tho paper accordingly made the
following day. in this fashion: “Mr.
Makeup requests us to deny that lie will
wash himself before he assumes the
office of town clerk.” And still Mr.
Makeup was not pleased. How hard it

Tho Tobacco Bud Worm.
It is commonly stated that the bud
worm of tob&ooo and the corn worm are
one and the same insect. It is possible
that the oorn worm has been observed
at times on tobaoco, sinoe it is found at
Lexington to desert ripening corn to
wards fall and resort to young tobaoco
plants left in the field; but there is
probability that in some oases another
lnseot has been mistaken for the oorn
worm. Several bud worms were brought
to the Missouri experiment station, July
29, 1898, and oonflned in a breeding cage
until they matured. They proved to be
Heltothis rhexia, the adult of whioh is
a small sea-green moth. This species
has been observed on wcedB belonging to
the same family as the tobaoco, but has
not hitherto been accounted a tobaoco
inseot. Our speoimena left the tobacco
and went into the ground August 10,
and the adult moth* came out one eaoh
on August 24 and 25. One, when about
ready to emerge, was plaoed in alcohol
for preservation as a pupa. Thia worm
and the oorn worm are muoh alike. The
oorn worm te rather stouter, more glossy
and has less red on the body, When
mature it will average larger than the
speoles bred by me. 8o great It the re
semblance, however, in pattern, colora
tion and in atruoture that I oannot con
sider the two inseots members of differ
ent genera.
The Injury done by the inseota studied
at the station consists in gnawing holes
In the young rolled up leaves at the cen-
tre of the plant, the worms, a single one
to a plant, remaining concealed among
the leaves. An application of Paris
green would reaoh them If thoroughly
applied. Where not very oommon,
probably removal by hand is the safest
aad cheapest method of ridding the
plants of them. Sinoe their orlgina.
food plant was probably some one of the
weeds known as ground oherry or horse-
nettle, it would be well always to de
stroy such plants when growing about
tobaooo. It is probable that in some
oases the inseots make their way among
the tobaooo from weeds of this sort
growing at the edges ot the fields. The
worm measures 1| inches long, and is
1-0 lnoh in diameter. General oolor
olive green, with fine yellowish green
longitudinal lines above, uniform below,
but showing on close examination mi
nute white dots. Skin opaque. Head
shiny, rust colored. Body with fine
scattered whitish hairs, arising from
blaok-tlpped prominences; a distinct
but poorly outlined spot of brlek red on
eaoh side of the body divisions from the
third to the 11th Inclusive, breathing
pores brown rimmed, the hindmost sev
eral times larger than the preceding.
When ready for its next stage, the
worm leaves the plant and enters the
ground for a few inohes, changing to a
to a tawny pupa measuring i inch long
and t lnoh round. It is smooth and
shining everywhere, and has two slen
der, closely placed spines at the tip of
the abdomen. The moth which emerges
in August measures U inches from tip
to tip of the outstretched front wing.
The general color of the front half of the
body and of the front wings is sea-green,
the wings crossed obliquely by three
nearly straight bands of white; hind
wings whitish at base above, slightly
lrrldescent, outer third blaok in the
male, obsourely blackish In the female;
abdomen pale ooher-yellow above;
largely yellowish white everywhere be
neath, with some evident blaok mark
ings in the male, among whioh are two
black dots on eaoh front wing.—Prof.

physicians did for mo was to advise keeping
