Rosemary, kneeling at her side, took her shaking hands in her firm young ones and fondled her. "Lady Dwight, my father left vast estates, and to these ycur son, Raoul Dwight, as his father's son, succeeds." She made a motion of protest, and her son Raoul raised his head with expectancy.

Inventor of Esperanto. the inventor of esperanto, the "universal" language, was born at Bialystok. a Polish town on the borderland of Germany and Russia. At least four different languages are spoken by the various nationalities who compose its population Russian, Polish, German and Yiddish. This babel of tongues seemed to Zamenhof the primary cause of mutual bickerings, and he set himself to bring about unity. The result was esperanto.

Since the chaff from the threshing machine contains countless numbers of these "cased larvae," It should be promptly burned; the bulk of the straw can be put to Its customary use without special danger. All seed wheat should be well fanned or wreened to prevent sowing midge The larvae along with the seed. screenings should be burned. The great majority of the flies are always derived from the pupae burled in old wheat fields. Rotation of crops will be of some help in controlling them, many of the flies becoming lost and perishing while hunting new fields in which to lay their eggs. However, the only thorough remedy is to plow the stubble under In the fall to such a depth that the flies cannot make their way to the surface the next year. This should be done as soon after harvest as possible. Plowing to a depth of eight or nine Inches Is sufficient. Burning the stubble before plowing will help.

One of the significant features of this snake season, and of any snake season that occurs, which is every year, is the very long length of the blacksnakes that are seen. This Is not ai all remarkable, for about the only 'ng a blacksnake has to show for itself Is Its length. It has no musical tail like the rattlesnake, nor the puffed-ou- t head of the hissing viper. nor the livid, languid manners of the housesnake it has only length, and when with amazing speed it whips through the deep grass or dead leaves, it seems to be 30 or 40 feet long. So truly does this little Illusion exist that when a person tells of a blacksnake seven or eight feet long, he prides himself on great modesty of statement. And, by the way, we have noted many blacksnake stories this summer, and we have not encountered a snake under seven feet. There was that story of a girl out In York state, who heard her little dog barking violently out In the stable. She went there to discover the cause, and, lo! that little dog was In fight with a blacksnake seven feet long. It was a great fight and the dog was doing heroic work, keeping the python at bay, until the little girl hunted up a pitch fork and with that dispatched the serpent, which, Uie account says, was seven feet long. Of course, it had to be seven feet, for there are no oth- er kind. Is there a moral to this? There Is, of course, to every Bnake story. It is this, be exceedingly careful not to make bigger than it Is the horrible in-cident in your life which you encounter. See that your blacksnake is un-dor seven feet long.
