scarce, hardly one being seen on the

A WEED EATING WORM.
jtw Specie OTfrrnnn the 'V8ila
vi nil a Valley;
It is neither anartuy worm nor a tent
caterpillar that is invading the Walla
walla valley by millions, but nn en
tirely new species of worm which no
one has so far been able to identify,
says a Taomna (Wash.) special to the
Now York World. A strange feature if
that only weeds constitute the food of
this creature. Hollyhock, wild dice; r
oiH'klebur ami other wild vegetation
are stripped by ft. while wheat ami
garden truck are left entirely alone.
Wheat fields examined show nil. the
worms in the ground not touching the
stalks.
The worms travel six to eight feet
a minute. In some places they tire PHI
to the square yard. They sire spinning
webs, apparently making ready to turn
Into a new moth or butterfly. Thou

ditches, which become black with bod

LIFE WOUK OF STUDENTS.
Occupations Harvard (iradnaiea of
lmri Will Follow.
Probably no college In the world
takes a greater interest In its children
after graduation than does Harvard,
says a Cambridge special dispatch to
the New York Tribune. The largest
institution of its kind In America, this
university annually turns out into the
world a small army of young men.
among whose number are some of the
richest as well as some of the poorest
boys of -the land.
Each 'June fur several years the
graduating class of the university has
compiled a list of the occupations in
which its members will busy them
selves after leaving Cambridge. These
lists have been so interesting that dur
ing the recent commencement week,
when the Harvard Crimson made its
last appearance for the school year, it
contained in a four pnge supplement a
catalogue of the 013 Members of the
senior class, with the name of the oc
cupation which each will go into after
leaving the university.
The information, contained in this list
Is interesting when one comes to ex
amine it. Sixty-seven students have
gone through Harvard with no definite
idea what they were studying for.
Most of these young men are students
of wealth, who have had plenty of
money to spend during their under
graduate days and who have never felt
the necessity of earning any for them
selves after leaving the university.
Conspicuous among the list of "unde
rlilcds" are some of Harvard's most
prominent athletes, Including Pub Ker
nun, captain of last year's football
team; Tom Graydon. the big fullback:
Al Stiilman, the famous pitcher and
football pla.vef, and others. r
One would naturally expect in a col
lege of Harvard's prestige and literary
standing that more men would take
up the icsthctic pursuit of life litera
ture, art, etcand at least not so large
a number content themselves, after
studying Greek, Latin and English, sto
settle down in warehouses or some
other sort of otftVe business. This fact
is all the more noteworthy because of
the large number of Harvard's stu
dents who specialize in English and
literature. As a mutter of fact, bow
ever, only one man, out of the present
graduating class has announced his in
tention of being a "literary man."
Only eight students Intend to become
"journalists." Against this number
137 are going into business-one to be
florist, one to make corset covers, one
to farm, one to be a ranchman and one,
to use his own language, to take up
"the manufacture of wheels for agri
cultural Implements." .
It is surprising, however, how many
of the bright literary students of the
university intend to study or practice
law after graduation. Medicine also
offers attraction to many Harvard men.
bnt less so than teaching, in which
Bcventy-seven students will employ
themselves. Only six men will enter
the ministry, six will take up art, two
railroading and five insurance.
A Hallway Motor Coach.
A railway motor coach is soon to nrj
between E rat ton and Southsea, says
the London King. It will certainly sur
prise those who see this strange little
combined engine and coach for the first
time. It runs on two four wheel bogies
and is divided (is regards its passenger
accommodations into two compart
ments, first and third, these being sep
arated by a sliding door. The first c!ass
compartment, where the- seats are
placed longitudinally, is intended to
scat ten persons. The third class com
partment, where the seats are arranged
In pairs transversely on cither side of a
central gangway, holds thirty-two per
sons, a total of forty -two in the two
compartments. The motor coach will
be used during the middle of the day,
when the traffic is vyry light, heavy
trains of the usual pattern being only
run in the morning and evening. The
possibilities oT this invention are great
when one considers how suitable such
motor coaches would be for the midday
und Indeed much of the light traffic of
all suburban lines.
Ilnrnlnv Gai,
Never leave the light burning during
the evening when the room Is unoccu
pied. This is not only a waste, but the
air becomes vitiated and ta considered
unhealthful.

DOCTORS GIVE TESTIMONY.
Shew That External Injury May Have
Canoed llie Desuh of Mrs. .M-.cy.
St. Johnsbury, July 6. To-day's testi
mony in the murder trial of State vs. Mrs.
Aldrich was entirely devoted to expert
medical testimony .which was of little
interest to the general public because of
its technical terms. Dr. Harvey who
signed the death certificate said that he
wrote that death was caused by conges
tion of the lunes, which might have
followed an external injury, lie found
the heart, liver and kidneys normal, the
lungs congested and diseolorations upon
the intestines. Dr. Darling, health

Sheds While Trouble is
Being Straightened Out
Sub-Contracting is Question
at Issue.
Will Take a Day or Two to
Adjust the MatterManu
facturers, in Session This
AfternoonUnion Meets To
morrow Morning.
Onof those questions of agreement
that arise in Barre at more or less stated
intervals between stone cutters and gran
ite manufacturers Is the canse of all the
stone sheds in the city being closed today.
The trouble began at the sheds of Moore
Bros, several days ago over the cutting of
a stone which forms a part of a contract
secured by E. L. Smith & Co., and which
they sublet to Moore Bros. The men re
fused to work on It and went home.
Practically the same condition arose at
J. P. Corskie & Co.'s sheds and the men
refusing to work were sent home. Mr.
Corskie pnt apprentices on the stone and
the blacksmiths quit and he closed his
shed yesterday morning.
The cutters claim there Is an agreement
against sub-contracting jobs and "that the
Moore job came uuder this agreement.
The manufacturers claim no agreement
exists. They admit the matter , came np
for consideration last summer when the
exchange was In existence and that it was
accepted by the union but was not accept
ed bv the manufacturers. Hut thnv n.n-oa
that some settlement should be reached in
the matter of sub-eontraoting and yester
day an effort was made between the man
ufacturers and cutters to nrran
meut that would be satisfactory to both
siuos. iue grievance committee ironi the
manufacturers and from the cutters were
in session until nearly midnight ami the
oulything that separated them at that hour
was the question of whether the manufac
turers should be allowed to complete con
tracts already taken but on which work
was not yet begun.
The manufacturers decided not to open
up this morning until the matter was
settled and as a result every cutting plant
is mie uHiay.
About U'00 men are affected.
The committee from the Manufacturers'
Association is Will. Alexander, .hnnna
Campbell, Win. Barclay, D. A. McLeod,
oenrge nomns, J . vv. .McDonald, James
Adie, M. C- Mclver and A. J. Young.

ami Richard Gregg.
The Manufacturers' Association is in
session this afternoon and the union will
meet at oV.Qk tomorrow morning.
It may ta'.- until late tomorrow nigut
to straighten the matters out, but that a
settlement will be reached in a short time
there is little question.
NOT WORKING IN NORTHFIELD.
All Shed Shut Dow n Except that of E. B.
Eiii.
Northfield, July 7. There is almost a
complete tie-up in the granite industry in
this place on account of the trouble at
Barre. One plant, that of E. B. Ellis, is
in operartion, but outside of that firm
about 200 men employed at the other plants
found the doors of the shops locked against
them this morning.
Mr. Ellis, whose men are working, says
he is a manufacturer of building granite
and that the trouble does not affect him.
He also declares that inasmuch as he is a
quarry owner himself he is not affected.
The settlement of the difficulty here will
depend on the agreement reached la Barre.
