Ready for Business.

To be diligent in business is COM
mendable, but surely one may err on
the side Of too great diligence by be-
ing ready for trade at an unsuita-
bic time. A map-peddler, in pursu-
ance of his vocation, CHANGED to stop
at hotel in a Long Island village.
A friend, whom he had known else
where, seeing him at the hotel, in
vited him to party which he was to
give the same evening.
The map-peddler came, and when
received by his host at the door, was
found with three maps in his hands.
"How de do?" he said. SCOT any
nails? / thoughs, as there was to
be a good many folks here tonight,
I'd hang up some OF my maps here
and let 'em look at 'em. Good chance
fer business. Maybe some Of 'em
would like to buy 'em, and could
explain 'em just as well as not"
His host endeavored to persuade
him that it would not be a suitable
place to urge his business, much to
the mans surprise.
Now, you don't understand, urged
the peddler. "'Twould amuse and
interest 'em, they'd be pleased, and
besides that, being visitors, they'd
feel sort of 'bliged to buy"
But he was then spoken to so plain
ly that he was forced to abandon
greatly to his surprise as well as his
regret-his project of mingling bust
uaec with entertainments

A Big sale.

Friend Frank and were out for a
days hunting In the interior OF Long
Island After some hours of shoot
ing, our supply Of powder was ex-
hausted, but, by happy chance, We
ran across one Of those rare COM
pounds, country store" and went
in to replenish our stock. The pro-
prietor was a little, wizened speci-
men of his kind, with a few stray
locks, and a weather-beaten voice.
With a stately air, he arose from be-
hind the counter, adjusted his spec
tacles and inquired what we wanted
"Some POWDER" said /.
Reaching down, he drew forth a
little old rusty keg, placed it on tho
counter, and asked how much.
"A pound" said /.
A bolt of lightning would not have
shocked the old man worse; and, In
an excited voice, he asked:
"A-a what, did you say?"
"a pound, i replied.
"A whole poun'?" he again asked,
as il iD dream.

whole pound.

and, rushing out into the open space
in front of the counter, and half
doubling himself, he began to trot
around in a circle, excitedly repeat
ing over and over again:
"a whole poun' o. powder! whole

powder!"
He pranced around till he was
nearly exhausted and then he went
back, arranged his rusty scales, and
began to pour out the powder. But
he emptied the keg and there was
not a pound in all. A look Of dis
may spread over his features, but in
| a moment he said: Il will run over
and borrow Neighbor Bcn's powder

turned with the horn, and finished
the pound. AS he handed 1t over L
asked the price.
| This started a new trouble. He
searched here and there, and finally
| declared that he could not find the
price and would leave it for us to say
| how much. / told him 40 cents was
about right, and handed him the
money.
Gentlemen, he said, as we turned
to 60, "I've kept store here close onter
forty year, an never made such a
big sale before. A whole poun' o.
powder!"
But we hurried away before he
could have another spasm.

A soiia Home Virtue.

Economy is virtue which is need
ed everywhere. No matter II persons
are rich or have large incomes, they
should be economical. To waste is
wicked. There are better ways to
spend money and goods than to waste
them. 1t is the poorest use they can
be put to. Many people would be
economical If they knew how. 1t Is
an art to practice economy To do
it we'll one must know the art. ALL
can have it IL they will. 1t is an
arithmetical art. 1t is the conclusion
of numbers. All must live and ought
to live well, but how to live best at
the least expense Is the work OF fig
ures to tell. We must count the cost
of ways and means and compare
them. Many people use expensive
articles Of food and dress, when
cheaper ones would be in every way
better and more serviceable. Es-
pecially in regulating the table ex-
pcnses is there a great want of econ
omy. A little useful information
concerning the qualities Of food, the
amount and kind of nutritive matter
they contain, the wants of the human
system and the best way Of cooking,
would often save fully one-third-in
many instances half-the expense
A wise economy in table expenses Is
favorable to health, and In this way
saves time, drugs, expense and doc

DYNAMITE is becoming too COM

new element in train robbery with
which the officers and express mes
sengers cannot cope, but 1t is being
used in all sorts of fiendish ways to

business that must be attended to;

INSECT NuIsANcEs.


How To Get hid OF Housohotu fostss
In his fourth lecture before the
Lowell Institute recently, Professor
Riley discussed the ever timely sub
ject of household pests. The treat
ment OF the subject was practical,
and the remedies given for each
particular pests are worth noting by
the careful housewife. For certain
of the commoner pests, such as the
bed-bug, the carpet-beetle, and the
clothes-moth, benzine, applied in a
fine spray by means Of hand atom
izer, was stated to be the best remedy,
as In most cases 1t destroys the insect
in all stages, including the egg. In
using benzine, however, care must be
taken that no fire or artificial light
is in the room at the same time, the
vapor of benzine being highly explo-
sive. For cockroaches, bristle-tails,
or tish-moths and fleas, the lecturer
recommended a liberal use Of pyre-
thrum powder, in the form of either
Persian or Dalmatian powder or
Buhach. Fleas, he said, are general
ly introduced into houses by dogs or
cats, and the presence Of bed-bugs Is
not always q sign OF uncleanliness, as
they have been found under the bark
of trees in the woods, and in country
houses may sometimes be traced to
this source. Keeping premises clean
and dry was said to be in general a
good preventive of insect pests. The
common house-fy, with its compli
Gated mouth and its stereoscopic eyes
with 1000 facets, was next discussed,
and the lecturer then passed to an
interesting account Of the mosquito.
The eggs of this insect are laid in the
water, and the larva, when Matched,
| passes through several molts in the
same element, the perfect mosquito
finally breaking out from the pupal
skin and flying away on her blood
thirsty mission. The female mosquito
is the form which stings, the male
seldom leaving the swamp where he
dwells, and contenting himself with
vegetable juices. In dealing with
the mosquito as household pest,
good pyrethrum powder Is probably
the best preventive Of its annoyances.
Moistened and made into little cones,
allowed to dry and then burned in
closed chamber, this powder will
either stupefy or kill, and is one OF
the best means of freeing chamber:
from mosquitoes. Touching upon
theory advanced some years ago
that mosquitoes by their stings inoc
ulate the body with malarlal poison
the lecturer stated that in his judg
ment there was no connection be
tween the two, though the same
conditions which cause malaria arr
apt to breed mosquitoes. In tn,
case of elephantiasis, however,
disease prevalent in tropical coun
tries, and due to a minute organism
known as tilaria, it has been wei
established that the fllaria in its lif
development must needs pass through
the mosquito as an intermediar
host. Boston Advertiser.

Artistic Dressing.

In the matter OF dress, one cannot
offend against good taste il only those
tints are chosen of which a duplicate
may be found in the hair, the eyes or
the complexion. A woman with blue
gray eyes and thin neutral-tinted
complexion Is never more becomingly
dressed than in the blue shades in
which gray is mixed, for in thes,
compilations there Is certain deli.
cate blueness. A brunette is never
so exquisite as in cream color, for she
has reproduced the tinting Of her
skin in her dress. Put the same dress
on colorless blonde, and she will be
far from charming, while In gray she
would be quite the reverse. The
reason is plain-in the blondes sal
lowness there are tirts of gray, and
in the dark woman's pallor there are
always yellowish tones, the same as
predominate in the cream-colored
dress. Women who have rather ford
compilations look well in various
shades OF plum and heliotrope, also
Uncertain shades of dove-gray, for to
a trained eye this color has tinge of
pink which harmonlzes with the
flesh OF tie face. Blondes look fairer
and younger in dead black like that
of wool goods or velvet, while bru-
nettes require the sheen of satin or
gloss of silk in order to wear black
to advantage.

Use Your Eyes.


One of the best possible illustra-
tions of the great and sometimes un-
expected value OF careful observation
of small things is furnished by an
English naturalist's recent discovery
that nearly all writers on the habits
of bees have Numbered in asserting
that a honey-bee, when on foraging
trip, confines itself TO one species of
flower.
1t has been said that IL bee begins,
for instance, gathering pollen from a
daisy it will visit only daisies during
that trip, avoiding clover blossoms,
honeysuckles, violets, and so on.
But Mr.. G. w. Bulman announces
that he has watched bees changing
from one kind of flower to another
during a single trip. One bee in par
ticular visited twenty-seven flowers
belonging to ten different species.
If this is correct, the discovery has
an important bearing upon the
theory of the influence of bees in
cross fertilization of plants.
But how easy it would be for any
person, a boy or girl who know:
flowers, for instance, to carry on such
observation for himself or herself,
thereby opening up not only a new
source of intelligent recreation,
which would rapidly increase in in
terest, but gathering facts which
might make a reputation for the
young discoverer, and add materially
to the stores of science. Youths

These little devices are not very
effectual, however. The other day,

IT is given as a reason why West
ern steers so frequently run wild
races through the streets Of New
York that they are not properly
watered during their long journeys
to the East; hence are really mad
with thirst. If this is so, it shows
what a grave danger is threatening
the unconscious public; for, aside
from the Incidental risk to property
and life involved in the street es-
capades, it is evident that the flesh
OF animals fevered to madness is
capably of doing terrible mischief
when used as food. The humane
transportation of cattle is one thus
closely connected with the public
welfare, and laws for its observance
ought to be strictly enforced.
