j "The honey collected in quite a large

I the amount with many other plants

"The little cups on the Mowers of the
1'igwort, I have seen full to the brim
with honey, when standing alono out
in the woods."
Now, if honey is to bo found in
large drops, in some Mowers; and
others are tilled to the brim with the
same sweetness, surely the in-
!g unity of man or woman could
devise some means ol collecting it,
but I'm afraid "the game wouldn't
be worth the candle. "
JJut Airs. Sherman lias taught mo a
lesson. In future when.deahnr with
prosaic subjects, 1 must eschew tho
poetic; as too free use of tho latter
faculty is liable to lead one into the
error in facts, committed by the poet
iueerleilow, wnen lie wrote

Mrs. Slu :
IIAIN-MAKINO.
One tiling that clearly distinguishes
the man from tlie monkey, is his in
ventiveness. The two animals have
much in common, but the genius of
the ape stops short at imitativeness.
We are lold in Holy Writ that "Alan
hath found out many inventions."
Yes, a great many, and still there are
a great many to Mnd out. l'erhaps
the latest invention, or more strictly
speaking, discovery, is a plan for pro
ducing rain.
Kvery reader of the daily press has,
for the'past ten days, been informed
as to tlio progress of tlio experiments
made on the Nelson Morris ranch,
near Midland, Tex. Those experi
ments are being carried on by army
ollieers, aeronauts and scientific in
vestigators, witli a view to discover
ing a plan for producing rain at will,
from a rainless, cloudless sky.
About ten days ago the experi
menters got their apparatus un
loaded, and arranged on the
aforesaid ranch, which is situ
ated in a portion of country
that has not had a drop of rain for
many months and vegetation as well
as animal life was suffering badly
from drouth. Tho plan intended to
be pursued was to fill balloons with
oxygen, and hydrogen, send them
aloft as captives ami explode them by
electricity.
Tho idea is that the concussion
caused by tho explosion will form a
vortex in tlio air, causing particles of
ol moisturo to rush together ami torm
a mass too heavy for tho atmosphere
to support :nd which must descend 1
as rain.
Tho notion is neither new nor novol
History records that many of the
world's firoatost battles have boon
fotijrht in rain, which bjgan to fall
after the light had begun. This fact
suggostod the present experiments
and it was intended to eroato a racket
similar to a pitched battlo betwoon
artillery.
It has been found that something
less elaborate is efficient. While
preparations wore in progress for the
mimic fray, and balloons, kites and
gas creating appliances were oein
mwshaled in battle array, sornoof
tfic oxplosivos wore tested on a small
scalo on terra hrma. To the surprise
and delight of everyone concerned the
hitherto blue and rainless sky began
to assumo a moist appearance and
within six hours a steady rain began
to fall and continued to fall for several
hours, when the gauge showed a pre
cipitation ot two inelies, that oein
more than had fallen at tho samo spot
for two years. The rain is said to
have extended over 1000 square miles,
refreshing the soul ol man, the wither
nig lilo ol neast and the wilted
vegetation of that drouth cursed coun
try.
These partial experiments seem to
demonstrate that it is perfectly prac
ticable to bring down rain at will.
1'liiR, on tho faco of it, seems to bo a
great and good thing for the
larmer and stockman, tho fruit
grower and tho truck garden
er. So it is, if each can
only get Ids supply at a time and in a
q i.nuity to suit his wants, but if every
call for rain brings a precipitation
over a thousand square miles, more or
less, "tho euro will bo as bad as the
disease" in many 'eases. One stock
man will want rain for his grass and
water holes, while another with plenty
of water and good grass, has his
hay or sorghum cut and unsecured.
The cotton farmers of a county cry
aloud for rain, whilo ho that raises
oats or wheat is suppliant for dry
weather that ho may harvest his
crop. Haiti is a blessing to htm that
needs it, but a eurso to him that neods
dry weather. The question naturally
arises, what will be the practical bene
fit to the country of this discovery?
Who shall havo tho determining ot
tho time for turning on tho water? It
may happen that what at first sight
appears to be a blessing to humanity
at large, may prove a soureo ot end
less mischief and injury to tlie in
terests it is intended to serve.

Theso posts are reported from nearly
every section of Texas. So far they
do not seem to have done much dam
age, but it is only a question of time
and opportunity and they will get
their work in, to tlie very decided in
'ury of tho cotton planter. It is no
ti -ealilo that they are nearly one
ruinth earlier than usual in their
visit. In my section they seldom de
velop before the end of September and
as the crop is nearly matured they do

triously reducing the leave to skel
etons, lustead ol taking prompt ac
tion and exterminating the pests be
fore they had time to do much dam
age, I waited for three days to see
whether the enemy was in force or
only represented by a few scouts.
This was my undoing. The ground
occupied three days previously by
scouts was now covered uy battalions
and brigades and they
all along tho line.
I have done some lighting in my
day, but never engaged in mortal con
llict with tlio cotton worm, and was
not prepared to meet the foe on such
short hotico.
As soon as I realized the gravity of
tho situation I began to consider a
plan of campaign. A council of war
was held with my neighbors and a
plan of action decided upon. We con
cluded to light the enemy with Lon
don 1'urpJo. Those experienced m
the use o that insecticide agreed that
ono pound of powder distrib
uted in its dry state over
one acre of cotton, was a dead shot for
tho worm.
Acting on that advice I "applied one
pound to tlie acre over the infested
Meld; and this is how I did it. I
found tnat a very thin unwashed
flour sack wotud allow tho powder to
escapo at the rate of a pound to the
acre, taking four rows at a time. I
used two sacks and put two pounds
of the powder into 'each. The sacks
wore then tied to the end of a 1x2
lath, 8 feet long. The rows were 8
feet ( inches apart. Mounting an
active 14 hand pony I laid the lath
across ai d on the hor n of the
tho sadule, and set off on
my errand of destruction,
jarring tho lath continuously to shake
out tho poison. 15y this plan from
three to four acres an hour can be
done. I acted strictly according to
instructions, and not in any way by
my own judgment. What the result
will be it is too early to tell, but I
havo a suspicion that enough poison
was not used. Tlio cotton being
young and short limbed, much of the
poison fell to the ground where it
could do no good. I went through
my field today to note the effect,
and found a few small worms
coi'ed up and cold in death; but the
big tac tellows were squirming around
as lively as ever. I was told that it
would take threo days for tho poison
to do its work, which gives mo room
to hope that my labor has not been in
vain.
If this dry poisoning is effective it
will pay any ono threatened with
worms to try the remedy. It is not
costly. London purple costs 14 cents
a pound. Thirty to forty acres can
be done in a day. The work is rather
disagreeable, but not dangerous to
nvin or horse. In my next I will re
port result of my experiment.

It is Malaria that Ails You.
If you have a constant dull head
ache, or a periodical neuralgia on one
or both sides ol the head, malaria is
the cause. If you have a furred
touguo, no appetito, heavy feeling at
lu pic ot tlie stomach, iieicinnjr ot

of nervous chills, Hashes of heat, cold
sweat, and a feeling too hot or too
old, are all indications of that subtle
and health-destr- ying poison known
as malaria. In some localities the air
is filled with it, tho water permeated
by it, and the soil infiltrated by mal
arial emanations so completely, that
entireescape is impossible. To all such

A Man Thermometer.
Lean men make the best thermome
ters. Fahrenheit never invented bet
ter ones. If the weather is warm
and sunny, they are cheerful. If cold
tini rrosty, titey are lrritanio and
snappy. Ii damp and cloudy, they
ire downcast and gloomy. Jlut if
either lean or fat men are sulleiiii":
from biliousness, headache, eonstina-
tion or indiirestion, tlie weather will
always be damp ami cloudy in their
locality, unless tiiey use Jr. 1'ierce's
Pleasant l'ellets. Theso Pellets are
small, sugar-coated granules, ealcula
led to start lite liver and digestive or
gans into healthful activity, and
thereby raise low spirits and disnel
gloom.
