NEW FRCIT PEST.
Gypsy Motli Spreading Over the t'nlt
ed States. ,
Horticultural Commissioner Elwood
Cooper of California, is about to issue
a statement that while at the Santa
Rosa convention he met an eastern
entomologist who Is Intimately ac
quainted with gypsy moth ravnges In
Massachusetts, says the Eureka Times.
This gentleman Is of the opinion
that within five years the gypsy motli
will be introduced Into every state In
the union, that In fact It Is already In
several states, although unrecognized,
as a result of the eastern authorities
refusing to allow specimens to be sent
out .
Mr. Cooper therefore asks that hor
ticulturists keep the closest watch
and send him specimens of all cater
pillars they find, with samples of
their food. In order that the most en
ergetic measures may be taken at the
earliest possible moment.
They never gripe or sicken, but
cleanse and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels. This Is the univer
sal verdict of the many thousands who
use DeWltt's Little Early P.lsers.
These famous little pills relieve head
ache, constipation, biliousness, Jaun
dice, torpid liver, sallow complexion,
etc. Try Little Early Risers. Tall

FADS OF ROYALTY.
Queer OcetiNitloufl and AniiiMcniciilH
of KlngH and Queens.
The following list of fads of royalty
Is from the Oregon Dally Journal:
The Prince of Wales has a fine col
lection of foreign stamps, and quite
a large collection It is, too, for he
started but when a small boy, and Is
now recognized as an authority on the
subject. His royal highness also has
a. very Interesting collection of post
ers, many of which have been espe
cially printed for him In miniature to
paste into a book, the large originals
being kept carefully rolled up.
Amateur acting Is the queen of Hol
land's chief pastime. She takes a
great Interest In dramatic art, and
never fnlls to attend (he first night at
the theaters. Her majesty has had a
theater built at Los, where plays are
performed under her direction.
When King Oscar of Sweden is "off
duty," among other things, he Is an
enthusiastic botanist, In connection
with which many Interesting stories
are told.
One of the most studious queens In
Europe Is the German empress, who,
unlike her husband, cares very little.
Indeed, for the pomp and ceremony.
Her majesty's favorite occupation is
the study of medicine, and she has In
structed herself so well In the art of
healing that she Is regarded as quite
an efficient adviser in cases of or
dinary Illness. The German empress
also makes a hobby of collecting fans
and very beautiful Is her collection.
The queen of Roumanla, "Carmen
Sylva," has a sympathetic view of life,
and turns her leisure moments to ac
count to make the lives of less fortu
nate folk happier. Her majesty has
had recently Installed in the palace at
Bucharest a special equipment for the
purpose of printing a large proportion
of her works In raised type for the
blind, which she Intends to present to
the blind asylums.
One of the quaintest hobbles on rec
ord Is that of the king of Slam, who,
during his leisure moments, makes a
collection of the labels on match
boxes. He started this hobby during
a visit some years ago to England.
Soon after he began collecting he hap
pened to be walking incognito down
Piccadilly, when he saw a passenger
on the top of an omnibus throw away
a match box. Hoping It might be
one he did not possess, the king, to
the horror of his attendant, dashed
out Into the middle of the road to pick
up the treasure. A policeman, think
ing from the excitement of the attend
ant that some one was killed, Btop-
ned the traffic. For a few moments
the greatest consternation prevailed.
Then the king emerged, muddy but
smiling, with the match box In his
hand.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
Interest themselves by keeping books
containing photographs of the places
they have visited, all of which they
have taken themselves. The king is
very fond of reading, and his fine col
lection of volumes at Sandringham
dealing with the Crimean expedition
and the campaigns of Nelson and
Wellington have a special fascination
for him. His majesty also has a fine
collection of walking sticks, to which
he is constantly adding. His collec
tion numbers about 1000, all of which
have some special association.
One of Queen Alexandra's favorite
occupations when she Is at home at
Sandringham or any other of the roy
al palaces Is that of arranging cut
flowers In vases for the tables of the
different apartments. In this matter
her majesty has quite exceptional skill
and taste. The queen also collects
autographs of her friends, and has a
whole museum of little gifts made by
the fingers of her children and grandchildren.
All old-time cough syrups bind the
bowels. This Is wrong. A new Idea
was advanced two years ago In Ken
nedy's Laxative Honey and Tar. This
remedy acts on the mucous mem
branes of the throat and lungs and
loosens the bowels at the same time.
It expels all cold from the system. It
clears the throat, strengthens the mu
cous membranes, relieves coughs,
colds, croup, whooping cough, etc.
