Mrs. F. D. Gage.
There's a big washing to be done
One Dair of bsnds to do it
Sheets, shirts and stockings, coats and
pants,
How will I e'er get through it?
Dinner to get for six or more,
No loaf left o'er Irom sunaay ;
I And baby cross as he can live
He's always so on Monday.
Tis time the meat was in the pot,
Th bread was worked for baking,
The clothee were taken from the boil
Oh dear ! the baby's waking !
Hush, baby, dear ! there' hush-sh-sh !
T wish he'd sleep a little,
Till I could run and get some wood,
To hurry up the kettle.
Oh dear ! oh dear ! If P comes borne
And finds things in this ponder,
He'll just begin and tell me all
About his tidy mother !
How nice her kitchen used to be,
Her dinner always ready
Exactly when the noon bell rang
Hush, hush, dear little jj'reaay i
And then will come the hasty words
Right out before I'm thinking
They say that hasty words from wives
Set soDer men to imnaiDg.
Sow is not that a great idea,
That men should taae to sinning,
Because a weary, half-sick wife,
Can't always smile so winning r
W hen I was young I used to earn
My living without trouble,
Had clothes and pocket money, too.
And hours of leisure double.

The following report was sent out
rom Washington a few days ago con
cerning the tests now being made con
cerning the boll weevil
Some significant offioial predictions
regarding the ravages of the cotton
weeyil are made in a report soon to be
Issued by the department of agricul
ture, and written by W. D. Hunter,
who has charge of the entomological
part of the boll weevil investigation, in
which half a hundred experts are now
engaged. Mr. Hunter says that con
servatlve authorities agree that unless
contingencies, at present unexpected,
occur, the pest soon will cause an in
crease in thj price of cotton through
out the world. By living mthin the
fruit of the plant, the weeyil is well
protected from any poisons that might
be applied, it occupies but fourteen
da j s lor deyelopment from egg to adult
and the nmmnv of a single pair in a
season may reach 134,000,000 indivld
uals ; it adapts itself to climatic condi
tions and is remarkably free from para
ait net and -dhfiatea. all combining to
make efforts at control difficult.
"The report estimates that the pres
ence of the weevil practically doubles
the area of land required to produce a
bale of cotton, and that the weevil
caused the Texas planters a loss of
about $15,000,000 in 1903, assuming
$500,000,000 as the value of the normal
cotton crop of the country. Mr, Hun
ter says the probable ultimate damage,
when the pest has become spread over
the entire belt, woold approximate
$250,000,000 annually, provided noth
ne were done to check it. Planters,
however, are adopting changes in
methods that tend to avoid so much
damage. The report predicts that the
weevil eventually will be distributed
all over the cotton belt, advancing into
new territory at the rate of approxi
mately 500 miles a decade, and it
probably always will be as destructive
in a series of years, as it has been in
Texas since 1894. The report suggests
that the probabilities of its being car
ried to West Africa or elsewhere abroad
is not at all remote.
'in case the seed happens to be
sacked, or even hipped in bulk, there
is nothing to prevent the weevil from
being carried long distances on ship
board, as they are able to adapt them
selves successfully to climatic condi'
tions. It is pointed out, however, that
the danger could be avoided by fund
zation or by leaving the seed sacked
in store rooms, Isolated from new cot
ton for a year previous to shipment,

Early in the spring my wife and I were
taken with diarrhoea and so severe
were the pains that we called in a
physician who prescribed tor us, but
his medicines failed to give any relief.
A friend who had a bottle of Chamber-
Iain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Bemedy on hand gave each of ns a
dose and we at once felt the effects. I
procured a bottle and before using the
entire contents we were entirely cured.
It is a wonderful remedy and should
be found In every household. H. C.
