The Crape Moth.
For a numljer of years a pest some
what related to tho apple codlin moth
has infested tho vineyards of the East
ern States. It has become quite prev
alent in the grapegrowing regions of
Wisconsin and in several other sections
ot tho couutry. The pest is not inaptly
called the "grape codlin." It has begn
kno "n to destroy as much ns fifty per
cent ot the crop, where it h;:s gotten a
foothold. The larvro feed upon tho
leaves In their young state and then, as tho
juice of the grapes matures, the berries
are attacked and channels are made into
the pulp, entirely ruining tho fruit. Tho
larvas are supposed to attach most of
their cocoons to the leaves, and the
brood passes the winter in this form.
The burning of the dry leaves and
spraying with poisonous preparations,
as for the apple codlin moth, would no
doubt be effective, but there is but little
reliable information obtainable regarding
the habits of the pest. It will be well
for our California grape growers
to watch out for this, as well as for
other insects which there is danger of
importing into the state, as, once es
tablished on the coast, it might become
a serios menace to a crop which al
ready is not lacking in vicissitudes and
enemies. California Fruit Grower.
Hint for HotiiMtwIves.
The followlug chat Is by Mrs. A. E.
Whttakor, editor of the "Women's In
terests" department of the New En
gland Farmer:
Tho woman who loftily says that she
"never darns stockings" Is geuerally
the same who wears ten-cent hosiery
shaped by the foot.
Women should not be charged with lack
of business ability when they can build
and muke self-supporting such an Insti
tution as the Massachusetts homo for In
temperate women. Emotional tempera
ments tlo not necessarily lack in appre
ciation ot t'ollars and cents.
A speaker who recently addressed a
women's club upon healthful dress an
nounced that the weight of her clothing,
discarding dress and boots, was one
pound and eleven ounces. Com (tare this
with the quilts and heavy skirts worn lu
the girlhood of our mothers. The speaker
expressed the opinion that women past 35
years have no time nor strength for gym
nastic training, or what is usually meant
by physical culture, but that healthful
dress permits work to help muscular de
velopment. Women are thinking more and more
favorably of reformed dress, especially
when applied to underwear; but Its gen
eral adoption U retarded by the fact
that all women are not built alike. The
force oi the argument by a slight, grace
ful woman In favor of no coisets be
comes restricted when the stout woman
rl-sea to ask: " But what am I to do I "
The cornet Is yet the mainstay of stout
women, but a growing girl or a slender
woman Is more comfortable In one of the
many boned waists that have no steels In
the front fastenings. These waist cost
from $1 73 upwards, and many a roman
considers long In her choice between the
fifty-cent corset and the waist. If she
is buying for a young daughter let her
choose the waist at any cost.
Iti'teaehlng what Is comprehended In
the term "housework" 1 do not believe
In an ironclad system. There are mo
ments of enthusiasm over breailmnklng
and sweeping, as In the art of music, and
the wUte mother takes the opportunity
when girls show au Interest In household
work to offer Instruction. She does not
sny: "Some other time you may try
your hand at the biscuit," or ' I'm afrul 1
you won t iron father's shirt quite well
enough." She puts an opportunity lu the
I way of the willing Hand and spirit. But
while tlds learning of new things may go
ou Irregularly from time to time, as In
terest is shown, all gtrls should have
some regular dally tasks from which
nothing but extreme cause may excuse
them. Do not always make this task
that of dishwashing, for It ts the habit
ot mothers to send the girls t-j the
kitchen sink ns soon as they cat. handle
the dl.-hes with safety, and thus results
an early prejudice against the dlslipan.
C urrent Comment.
The board of lady managers of the
world's fair organized Nov. 21 and a con
stitution was adopted. Miss Sarah T.
Uallowcll of Chicago was recommended
to the national commission for the posi
tion of director of the department of fine
arts. Mrs. Lucas of Pennsylvania Intro
duce a resolution asking that the fair
be closed on Sundays, but action on this
was deferred. The Sunday-closing ques
tion is a knotty oue, the commissioners
being confronted with strong arguments
and powerful iufJueuces on both sides.
Mrs. Potter Palmer has been elected
president and Miss Phoebe Cousins of St.
Louis secretary of tho lady managers.
Tho non-partisan Women's Ctirlotlau
temperance Lnlon convention was re
quested by Miss Wlllard to change Its
name, as It could not legally appropriate
the numo of the society of which she
Is president. The non-partisans, who
were in session at Pittsburg, dodged the
isue of legality and declined to act on
tffb request on the double ground that
Miss Wlllard did not address her request
to Presldeut J. Ellen Foster and that it
could not change Its name for a year
anyhow. If Miss Wlllard is right on the
law point an injunction laid by a law
court forbidding the use of the name
would probably convince tho non-pnrtl-sans
that they could change their name
In a good deal less than a year. The
sisters should not bo spiteful to each
other.
Tho central Mlchign Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union does not believe
in any half-way fashion of doing busi
ness. In tho recent session at Detroit it
was decided that the drinking of cider or
ginger ale by members would be a vio
lation of their pledge.

AN INDIAN WAR CLOUD.
Kitting- Hull ana the Thrifty Cattlemen
Urare the Tenilerfect.
From the best evidence attainable as
yet it appears that the person posing as
an Indian Chtlst Is John Johnson, a
Ftth-l'to on tho Walker lake (Nev.) reser
vatl in, and that whllo promising to re
store the buffaloes In the snrlnir. raise
tho dead Indians to life and overwhelm
the whites In a deluge of mud. he coun
sels those who consult him to be peace
able and law-abiding. The belief In the
genuineness of his pretensions I very
general, It seems, among the tribes of
Indians of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana
and the two Dakota, though further
south the ri dsklns are less credulous.
Sitting Bull and other lrrccoucllables
have twisted the talk of the new Christ
Into license to make war on the whites
In the spring and a promise of Immunity
rrom harm in case of a conflict with the
pale aces, and have gathered largu com
panies of them together to hold "ghost
dances, In which they danco around In a
circle, sometimes for days, until Ihoy
fall exhausted. In this condition, lying
face downward on the ground, they be
lieve tbey hold communion with their
dead auceetors and friends and with the
Christ.
These gatherings and tho Insolence of
some of the young bucks under the prom
ise of Immunity from punishment for of
fences against the whites have created
much alarm, and at Tine Ridge, 8. D
where Sitting Bull and the other
cIjmU mischief makers were and where
there was the largest gathering of ghost
dancers, the scare was v great that the
military authorities thougt it best to
concentrate a heavy military force there,
which was done. This ot course reduced
the force at other agencies, and alarm
was created all around, so that for a few
days the daily papers were filled with
the Indian scare.
The Indians, having had a prosperous
aeuson, traveled well armed and loaded
down with ammunition. Thecattleiuen.
a ho wanted the home market alTordeJ
by the concentration of soldiers In their
neighborhood, boosted the scare with all
their power, but It required only one In
terview between the military authorities
and Sitting Bull to convince the old
soounurei tnat ne uiu not want to wear
a set of Uncle Ham's Iron bracelets and
ho promised to stop the ghost dance at
Pine Ridge and by Nov. 23 tho dancing
had ceased.

LOTTIE mm MISTAKE.;
Mr. Ilos Deane was.t thriving round
tirvejor and auctioneer lu a large
country town.
One day Mr. Ilos. Ueane was mend
ing her bu-ibaud ofllce coat and sing
ing cheerily over her task. She wat a
pretty little womau, nith pink cheeks
and wavy fair hair and great bine eyes. '
tin ii r and Innocent in expression as a
little child's. If her mouth was a trifle
large, nobody erer noticed it for ad
miring the scarlet lips and white teeth
that gleamed out when she smiled,
which triii not seldom, for she was a
merry little body, as sparkling and
uushiuy as if she'd never a care in the
world.
And really, when you come to think
about it, her c;tr:s were very few, and
ber pleasure tinny. lLtdn't s ie the
haodoiiiesl and tb-arest husband in the
world, who petted and humored her to
her heart' content? It is very queer
the fondue some women have for be
ing iteited. It's rather a c.tt-like trsit,
this liking to purred and coddled so
much. Theu she had the sweetest love
of a baby: but lltnt was r.illier a part
nership ' couccrn there were grand
reuu and anrtu innumerable, who
put iu a chitiii lo ba:iv, to say nothing
of the Iii lift one's ijther; while ber
I..i!m1-oi!ic U'i- wit all l-er own iudi
t hi ti-il proH'riy.
At le.-tst alio 1 bought be wa. till she
very unwisely undertook lo mend that
oQiee ft i. it of hi. She had pounced
upoti it that inoiiiiii. wheu previous
to a shoppm;' expedition, she bad
penel rated lo hi oOice at the back, of
the bou-e liein;r in want of more
money and b.-id confiscated it directly,
defiant! that It was a shame for any-
bodr lo wear uch a dilapidated ar
rangement, and iit-r husband shouldn't
do it another d.tv, so there!
There was ouly one more pocket to
look after now. and then the- tiresome
job would be doue. Caroling a merrr
little roundelay, site turned it inside
out. t The song died on her lips as a
tiny see ii ted eurelope dropped out and
nuilered to the fl.ior. ue stooped to
pick it up. and. noticing the feminine
handwriting ou the outside, opened it.
of course, but with an odd misgiving
at her heart regarding the act, never
theless.
Periis ps she had better not have
opened iL I won't undertake to say
whether it was best or not: but I al
ways believed that '-where ignorance
was bliss'' it was exceedingly foolish to
become enlightened of vour own free
will, as this child, was tloiug. for this
was what she read:
Dear Mr. Dea5b: Of course you will be
tlte niaMiuera.le to-morrow evenlnir. I
won't tell you what character 1 shad assume.
tut If you were to wear a ptua dumiuo witn
white rote In your oiitiort-ttote, and you were
to meet anollmr eink dotnioo with a red rose
in ita Lau.f how tun 1 tell who it would be?
Bad enough or not just a one
chose to take it. Mrs. le;tne knew
well enough who wrote it knew that
the letter wasn't tcally h:t:f so bad as
it sounded. Still it wn proof that the
flirtation which Mr-.-. Deane had here
tofore believed lo Ihj carried on chiefly
by Miss Belle was going altogether
too far to be p!e.iant to the looker-on
when the looker-on hapiieiicd to be
the wife of one of the ponies.
As long as Miss Belie Crest on made
ej-es at handsome Ross Deane. only to
be carelessly flattered ro return hv him.
and afterwards l.-tnghed at alike by both
Mr. and Mrs. Deane, it was very little
the latter cared about if. She called
the girl a goose to herself, was politely
cordial to her before folks, and never
gave the matter another thought.
Miss freslon was a goose, of course.
but quite a prettv, winning little goose
after all. She was rather dashing in
her ways smoked cigarettes, laiked
slang Goth of which Mr Preston par
ticularly detested and tried to ape the
manner generally of 'he masculine
half of creation. Of course she made a
failure of it, but men are remarkably
tolerant of bright, sancy, black-eyed
failures of the Belle Preston kind; and
so they laughed at iter a little, but
flutter her a great deal more, and not
a few fell in love with her continually.
But Mrs. Deane did not choose that
her husband should bu caught in the
toils of a siren like this; and she was
properly indignant as fivlin that the
two were on familiar terms enough for
notes to pass belwccu them and such
notes, too.
The bold Ihinz to ask another
woman's husband to come to the mas
on e fade to meet her she ought to be
ashamed of her-elil muttered flirs.
Ross Deane 'angrily. "And he, too,
after pretending to me that ho tnoug!t
. ... ..... .
she was horrid I hate him!" and she
stamped her little foot, aud subsided
into a tit of the sulks.
But her nature was too healthy to
permit a long indulgence in feelings
of that kind: so. before long, she found
herself wondering what she would tl
about it. Was she going to it still
and let this woman win away her hus
band withom an effort on her part to
prevent it? Not sh She would go
to this masquerade he', jelf. W hat she
would do there she hadn't fully deter
miuwl upon. Siie would wear a pink
domino and carrv a red rose in her
hand; and if Ross Deane should happen
to mistake her for the fasciuutiusr M'ss
Preston why. how could she help "ii
Any war, she knew she wnuldn t trv
to help iu Let him blander if he liked
she didn't care.
Her mind once made up, she looked
to see where the note was dated. It
was written the day before she found
it, so that the masquerade was to be
that verv evening. No time was to be
lost, evfdentlv, if she wanted to attend
They had received cards several days
before, but Ross had declared himself
averse to roiu";. and so Mrs. Deane
had thought no more about it. Nor
she saw his decision in a different lbr

mured to herself, "and he thoJ "

Ross Deane followed his wife to t,.

he was dreaming. When the meat wet

smoke and lo think ft over, Lottie '
went upstairs to wait for him to leatre 4

She sat where she could watch l!-e

nervous impatience for him lo go out
that she might follow and the first act
of the trngi-comedy be ready for per

Eight o'clock struck, and in a few
minutes alter she heard him movir;
about down si airs. Then be came to
the foot of the stairs n?id exile-?:

Hut Lottie would not answer. Shs
had no desire lo receive his good-bve

bold girl who was Irving to win him
away lrom hi wife, tie called once
more and thro she heard him pass into
the parlor. After that there was aicsu,
silence, and at ill she sat there and
wondered w hat delaved him so.
Nine o'clock struck; then 10. and no
body had passed out at the front gate
she watched so jealously. What could
it mean? Had he been so cowardly as
to slip out by the back w ay for fear she
might see him? She couldn't believe
that of him; but she didn't understand
why he waited till so late before going
sway.
Halt past ten; a quarter of eleven.
She couldn't le.ir this any longer; uttt

Just as the clock strocfe-11.- she

"The masouersde. Lottie?
thought we had decided not to go."
' So we did. she answered, bitterly;
but I supposed Miss Preston had per
ftuaded you to change j-our mind."
"Miss Preston? . VV hat has she to do

Oh. I begiu to smell a rat." he tried
exultantly, now fully wide awaae.

I think Mrs. Deane managed wontea
know how to do these things in some
perjpctly polite and pleasant way to let
Miss Preston know why Mr. Deane did
not attend the masquerade, and also
the fate that notes addressed to him
were likely to meet. At any rate, the
