Excise Commissioner Seibert has closed a number of winerooms in St. Louis, and thereby earned the thanks of the respectable people of St. Louis. The work of weeding ont should be continued vigorous ly. Winerooms have been doing a terrible work, especially among young women. Drunken women are a common sight in their vicin ity. The winerooms are wide-open resorts, with a more retired back ground of every form of degrada tion. Their most profitable busi ness is the ruin of young girls. Without this trafio few of the in famous dens would pay expenses. A stream of fresh victims is their main source of profit. They have made the rearing of young girls in virtue and usefulness more difficult than it was formerly. They are centers of vice in public places. Common morality demands that all be ehnt np by the simple meth od of canceling their licenses. Globe-Democrat. Some black facts for white thoughts is presented in an inter esting way by a writer in the New York World. It is pointed out that more than 9,000,000 black- skinned people are now living in the United States. These have about doubled in numbers since Mr. Lincoln signed the emancipa tion proclamation. Counting in the dark skinned inhabitants of our insular possessions, 18,500,000 colored people are living under our flag. The World writer says: "Our negro population owns more property than is generally suppos ed. Nearly 4 per cent of the u total assessable property of Virginia belongs io them. In Georgia alone they are assessed on $16,000,000 worth of property. Of the 1,400, UUO beads of colored families in the entire country in 1900, 264,000, or nearly one-fifth of them all, own the homes and farms on which they live, where forty years ago they did not own even their own persons. In forty years more if they go on increasing as they have dobe since 163, there will be about 20,000,000 of colored peo ple in the United States, not count ing those in the islands. And they will have a large property stake in the country, too." Com moner. BUGS TO SAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR. Such a hatching of bugs as is go ing on just now at the department of agriculture in Washington Hon. James Wilson, Secretary was never seen before in the history of the world. The insects chosen for propagation a dozen of them, which were imported alive from China more than a year ago were so precious that a single specimen could not have been bought for $100. This will be better under stood when it is explained that this batch of bugs, with their pro geny, bid fair to rid the United States of a pest which at the present time is causing a loss of $10,000,000 a year. The pest is the San Jose scale originally brought from China or Hawaii to Calfornia which has spread over a large part of the fruit-growing regions of the United States and threatens to wipe out horticultural industry. Once it gets a foothold in an orchard, it sweeps through the latter as de structively as fire, leaving only dead trees in its path. Its rate of propagation is something fabulous, under favorable conditions, and the twigs and branches it attacks are quickly covered with a sort of gray scurf consisting of the waxy excre tions of an incalculable multitude of microscopic insects. By good luck, Mr. Marlatt, one of our Uncle Sam's most skilled entomologists, happened to be traveling in northern China about eighteen months back and found there this very plague. But the mischief, though obvious enough, was not, specially destructive be cause of a peculiar insect much re sembling a miniature hedgehog when viewed under a magnifying glass, which preyed upon the pest, gobbling the scaly things whole sale. It seemed evident that this was the enemy provided by nature for keeping down the scale insect, and Mr. Marlatt promptly proceed ed to capture a few hundred specimens, which he brought to this country in tin boxes. Nearly all of them died on the way, but on reaching Warshington the dozen hardy ones that survived were put into a wire net cage out doors, being placed upon a pear tree that was thoroughly infested with the scale insects. Without a minute's delay, the Chinese bugs went to work preying upon the scale insects, and, what was more important, they proceeded to multiply their own kind rapidly. Pretty soon a second cage contain ing another fruit tree had to be built to receive the overflow and to-day there are more than a dozen similar cages. Many thousands of the hedgehog mgs thus artificially bred are now available, ana aunug tne coming sumiiier nnd in subsequent vears the department of agriculture will distribute them among fruit grow er3, who will place them on the trees in their orchards. They are expected to multiply at a great rate and to wipe out the scale insects by wholesale, eventually reducing the number of the latter to a point where they will be practically harm less and thus doing nway with the greatest danger mat has ever threatened the orchardists of the United States.
