ALL AROUND THE MOUSE.
Two Insect Pests 30 which House Plants
Are sutAect in Winter.


Are suhsoet In Winter.
There are two insects that are very com
mon on horne plants In winep-the green
sphis and the rod pider. A WRITER m Good
housekeeping tolls how thoy may be identi-
fed and overcome, rs follows:
Suppohng the plants have been neglected
for vhi,e, you may think they arc an right,
but, on looking csosaly spme morning, you
will notice something hike fine dust on the
ends Of the topder branches. What is it?
Tho green aphis The dust IL tho sphis' cast
cast or skin, whteh it changes several times
In the course of lbs brisf life, and grows big
ger every Tina. Ii Is furnished withSa long
Iroboscis, which it deftiy inserts in $50 ten
der, juicy sbtsns, and drinks its fill or course
the plants cannot stand this draining Of their
juices and speedily show it.
You will readily SEQ soncthins must be
done to mako the insect let go iss bold. In
tho greenhouse tobacco stenns are burned
twice a week. but in the dwelling house this
would not answer. Tobacco tea answers
every purpose. Pour boiling water ON tho
stems and let it stand until cool; strain and
wash the plants tying piece of cloth over
the top of the pot to keep it from tho soil (;
rinse off with tepid water Repeat in day
or two to destroy any missed the first time
Watch for the next crop. prevention is
better than curen The tobacco puts them
TO sleep, and the water finishes them
If the air Of your room is dry much of the
time, another INSECT called "rod spidern will
put in an appearance. It is much smaller
than the sphis and therefore not 50 readily
noticed. 1t may establish its home and go
to housekeeping right under your nose and
you may not suspect it Perhaps the leaves
Of your hehotrope or some other thin leaved
plant begins to turn brown and dry up. You
wonder what it is, for you cannot see any in
sect. When the sun shines brightly just
turn up the leaves and look on tho under side
of then.
Do you see some tiny red specks moving
about, and very fine webs over the surface of
the leavesi That is the red spider 1T lays
low and keeps dark" Now this same red
spider has one weak spot; IL Is afraid Of
water Take the plants to the sink, tie a
cloth over the pot % keep in the earth, lay it
on its side and give the leaves a good wash
ing, especially on the ur'er idle A small
nv broom Is good for this. Next day re-

room is too hot and dry. Under tho inagui-

for Tessing tho Hearing.
writer IN a German medical tuurnal as
serte that Edisons photograph frls al tbaro-
q,urernents for an acoumetre or instrument
for accurately measuring the hearing.
The operation Of the apparatus Is simple
The ear piece is applied to the ear which Is
to be tasted, and a phonogram wtrfoh Is a,rdi-
bic TO the patient is sounded The acoumctr &c
scale is then descended until phopogram Is
reached which cannot be heard. Tits marks
the limit OF hearing for that ear. In this
manner the source Of sound remains siways
at the same distance from tho ear, and only
tho intensity of the tone differs.
Another medical use suggested for tho pho
noeraph Is that OF taking and recording the
clinical history of q patient On this CUB
ject DR.. A. n Blodgett, OF Boston, rs quoted
as having made the following remarks before
the Massachusetts Medical society:
Last night Mr.. Thomas and made expert
ments at the city hospital on patient just
admitted to the accident room. Hts clinical
history was taken; but it was not In all re-
spects a SUCCESS, because he had an injury
preventing his speaking with much force, it
being a fracture of the ribs But we got a
record from an actual patient in an actual
examination which was reproducibls and
could be understood.
An instrument of this kind might be made
portable and visiting physician in a hos
pital might give his directions into the fun
mol, when they wossl be recorded upon a
small cylinder, which can be put upon an
other machine, and the physicians directions
rs to treatment or his description of LESSONS
can thus be accurately recorded. This record
is got by means of the graphophone which rs
used a great deal in conjunction with the
typewriter l know how difficult it is to get
full directions in tho wards from the visiting
physician, and hero we have the means Of an
absolute record. In medico-legal cases
think it would be Of great service because the
utterances of the patient could DO reproduced
at an indefinite period afterward, and should
suppose would be evidence in the case

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Reception pays-Suggestions of Value to
Hostess ard Guests.

Hostess ard Guests.
For reception days hostess wears u plain,
dark, rich dress, taking care, however says
Mrs Sherwood, the well known authority on
social usages, mover TO be OverdrosSed at
home She rises when her visitors enter and
is careful to seat hor friends so that she can
have a word with each. II this is impossible
she keeps her ego on recent arrivals to be
sure To speak 10 every one. She is 10 be for
given ii she pays moro attention TO tho aged,
or TO some distinguished stranger or to Somo
one who has the still higher claim OF misfor-
tune, or 70 ono Of modest and shrinking
temperament than to one young, gay, fash
ionable and rich. If she negiscts these for
tunste visitors they Will never feel it; II she
bows low to them and neglects ohe others,
she betrays thst she snob.
If a lady is not sure that she is known by
name 10 her hostess, she should not fall 60
pronounce her own name. Many ladies send
their cards 10 the young brides who have
come into friends family, and yet who are
without personal acquaintance. Many, alas
forget faces, 50 that name, quickly pro
nounced, is a help. Ia the event OF an ea-
change of calls between two ladies' who have
never met and this has gone on for years in
New York until sometimes death hasrenoved
one forever), they should take an carly oppor-
tunity of speaking TO each other at friends
house; tho younger should approach thu elder
and introduce herself it is always regarded
a. n kindness; or the one who has rece,veu
,ho first attention may he the first to speak
1t is always well to leave u card in the hall,
even if person is received, as It assists a
lady's memory in her attempts to return
these civ,hsies.

C0NTAClOUSNESS OF PNEUMONIA.

From long article by Meter on
''The Contagiousness of Pneumo'
MA these conclusions are drawn:
/. Pneumonia is contagious dis
ease of parasitic origin, and is
transmissible either directly or by
the intervention of a third person,
r by inanima,c objects, such as
wearing apparel, etc.
=. The pneumococei are not des-
troyed by desiccation, and are diff
fusible through the air but not to
great distances, at most the interval
between. three hospital beds. They
maintain their virulence for period
which has not been definitely deter
mined, but probably never more
than three years.
,. Contagion is possible through
the entire course of the disease, and
even after recovery.
A. The period of incubation aver
ages from five to seven days, but
may vary between one and twenty.
~. i illculs WIZ huNC lIdoSSN
through pneumonia are dangerous
both to themselves and their neigh
bors, rs living micorocci may be
found in their saliva many years
after. Thence, in part, the epidc-
mic appearance of the disease in
certain families during long periods,
and also its frequent recurrence in
certain individuals who have once
survived it.
G. Rigid quarantine seems hardly
necessary, but other persons should
avoid too intimate relations with
them. The sick room should bc
ventilated and disinfected as thor
oughlv as possible, and every pre-
caution taken to prevent the spread
of the disease as in other conta.
