OIL Those Fleas !

GA suffering reader 1nqui1es how to
get rid of feas. That is question
which would have puzzled Solomon, with
all his wisdom. There is mystery con-
nected with feas which has never been
solved. From whence they come and
whittier they go, no one can tell. The
subject is lively one, and I have never
been able to keep up with it. have
seen more interest displayed in a re-
search for afea than was ever invested in
scientific research. Indeed, there is a
science in catching feas which few pos
sess, and which can be acquired only
after long and lively practice. IF you
would succeed, you must give the whole
of your mind to it and be resolved to
bear disappointment bravely and cheer
fully. Last summer the question was
asked through the Cincinnati Gazette,
''What shall I do to get rid of feas?" and
and q lady replied, "Clean up; none but
dirty people have feas." The mex
perience Of that lady is refreshing. She
evidently has not seen all the world yet.
Fleas are not respectors of persons. My
theory is that people who live on high,
dry, or sandy ground are more liable to
be troubled with feas than those who
live on low, flat ground. Ny grand
mother was once grievously tormented
with feas four or five summers, and she
was the sworn enemy of dirt. She took
up her carpets and laid them away dur
ing summer, and mopped kitchen, sit
ting-room, and bedroom floors with boil
ing water once day. This gave relief,
but did not cure the evil. Iwould advise
those afflicted to use little carbolic acid
in the hot water for hopping Some
dark night gather all your cats up and
drop them gently into the back yard of a
distant neighbor. Take your dog to the
creek and hold him three feet under
water for one hour and half; that will
drown the feas on him. Sheep in the
yard may be a good idea; it mi ht also
be good idea to take them into the
house. Try these remedies, and if they
fail, you can burn the house; that is a
sure way to kill feas, and about the only
sure way.--DOItY Warden.

Chinese COntrariness.

suit of linen last summer. Black with

You go to see a friend, and in the cor

with smile upon the big red character,

The Maiden,s PRAYER.

A romantic young man asked his
sweetheart to take walk with him by
moonlight on the river bluff at East Du-
buque, Iowa. She went gladly. When
half way up the extension they halted to
admire the prospect. Suddenly a stone
slipped underneath the young mans
feet and he went down like curtain
stick He caught hold of some vines
which chung to the rocks and hung on for
dear Life, expecting to fall hundred feet
and be dashed to pieces on the rocks be-
low. The young woman could not pull
him up, SO she fell on her knees and
prayed for him. The young man united
with her after this fashion: "Help!
Murder! Oh, Lord! I know I'll be all
broke up. Now I lay me. Confound it
all, I forgot. Oh, jerusalem! I've got
to let go pretty quick. Give us some
daily bread. Oh, that amt right! Oh,
Lord! Send somebody to help me out of
this scrape. Help! Thunder!" At this
point he could hold on no longer, but
went down. But not one hundred feet.
Only a few feet, for he landed on ledge
which neither he nor she had seen in their
excitement. A small fragment of cuticle
