An Antidote for MOSQUITO Bites.

The best antidote for the bite of Il
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia,
weakened with a little water or salt
and water. Some people go so far
as to press the poison out of the
bite with some small metal instru-
ment like the point of a watch key
before applying the antidote. This pre-
vents the painful swelling that some
times occurs. AS in other cases, zone
mans meat is another mans poison" !"
and the same remedy will not apply to
all individuals. Some find camphor
most efficacious, and salt and water will
not avail. Ammonia, however, seems to
be generally successful as neutralizer
of the mosquito poison. Where there
are large quantities of mosquitoes and
no reason for their appearance is appar
ent, it is well to look about the premises
for something which attracts them. An
uncovered barrel of rainwater will
bring them in hordes, and damp places
and stagnant pools are spots where they
delight to congregate.- Gazette.

A Collection of Old Pines.

have collection of old English pipes
of all sizes and shapes, and have supplied
my friends with specimens, which they
use not actually for pipes, but as ciga-
rette holders, and well adapted the
small bowls are for that purpose. In
my collection one may trace the history
and spread of tobacco by the gradually
increasing pipe bowl and the proportion
ate diminution of the supporting heel or
spur until with present-day clays it is
mere ornamental appendage. Soon
after smoking was introduced one writer
states that ''the rich use silver pipes,
but the poor use walnut shells and
straws."
In 1878 Harrison, in his unpublished
"Chronologie," remarks that "these
daies the taking in of the smoke of the
Indian herb called Tobacco by an instru-
ment like little ladell is gretly taken
up and used in England against
Rewmes." By 1919 there was an i'm
portant industry in clay pipes, and the
manufacturers were incorporated as
"the craft of T. P. makers" Later
pipes bear trademarks and initials
stamped on the heel, thus iSlicating the
various origins.-Cor. Pail Mall Gazette.

A New Iifeboat,

The self righting ifeboat is expected
here soon on its way to Ilwaco. These
boats right themselves in ten seconds
after being capsized. The boat expected
here is thirty feet long, seven feet beam
and three feet deep, caravel built and
with air chambers at bow and stern, cov-
cred with waterproof canvas. The pc
culiar features in the construction are
the presence of false bottom, which
runs from stem to stern precisely at
water line, and is furnished with two
circular gratings, into which, if neces-
sary, pumps can be inserted. In the
sides, just about midships, there are long
flaps working on hinges which, when
opened, will permit any water above the
false bottom to run out, and when closed
are water tight. The space below the
false bottom is paclNa with dry tule
grass, which is even Fighter than cork
and almost impervious to water.-Wash.

Two travellers have lately arrived at
Shanghai, China, whose names deserve
not an unimportant place in the roll of
distinguished explorers. They are Cap
tain Bower, of the Seventeenth Bengal
cavalry, ahd DR.. Thorold, of the Indian
medical staff, and their claim to distinc-
ton rests upon the fact that they have
journeyed through Thibet by the long
est route that can be taken through that
mysterious country. They followed an
imaginary line drawn from the Cash
mere frontier, in the northwest, to the
Chinese province of Szechuen, where it
adjoins the southeastern border of the
territories of the Delai Lama.
They were upward of ten months in
Thibet and great part of their journey
lay through series of elevated table
lands, seldom lower than $4,000 feet
above the sea level. On approaching
Lhassa they were turned back when
within eight days journey of that city
by the officials, but after some parley-
ing were permitted to proceed on prom
ising not to attempt to enter the Thibetan
capital. No foreign travellers have before
followed the same route.-New Orleans

A Volcano at Sea.

Only last fall there was strange oc.
currence near the island of Pantellaria,
between Sicily and Tunis, which would
have filled the imagination of Homer
or Virgil with pictures of supernat-
ural monsters and poetical fame - about
the extravagant doings of the deities OF
the sea.
A submarine volcanic eruption oc.,
Cured there, and the inhabitants of the
island saw what seemed like some great
fish disporting himself in the troubled
water, while columns of smoke arose
around him.
Those who ventured near to the scene
in boats saw hot volcanic bombs, com
posed of black scoriaceous material,
rising to the top of the water and there
running and darting about in the most
singular fashion under the impulse of
the steam which they discharged. Some
bounded more than sixty feet up into
the air as the steam exploded.
Such outbursts of heated matter from
the bed of the sea furnish perhaps al
even more impressive indication than Or
dinary volcanic eruptions do of the
strange conditions prevailing at no
great depth beneath the surface of tho
earth.-Youth's Companion.

Tho Frolicsome Chipmunk.

AS the woodchuck sleeps away the
bitterness of cold, so in his narrower
chamber sleeps the chipmunk, happy
little hermit, lover of the sun, mate of
the song sparrow and the butterflies.
What goodly and hopeful token of the
earth's renewed life is he, verifying the
promises of his own chalices, the squir-
rel cups, set in the warmest corners of
the woodside, with libations of dew and
shower drops, of the bluebird's carol,
the sparrow's song of spring!
Now he comes forth from his long
night into the fullness of sunlit day to
proclaim his awakening to his summer
comrades, a gay recluse, clad all in the
motley-a jester maybe, yet not a fool
His voice, for all it's monotony, is in
spring of gladness and contentment
whether he utters his thin, sharp chip or
full mouthed cluck or laughs chitter-
ing mockery as he scurries in to his mar
row door.
He winds along his crooked pathway
of the fence rails and forages for half
forgotten nuts in the familiar grounds,
brown with strewn leaves or dun with
dead grass. Sometimes he ventures to
the top rail and climbs to giddy ten-foot
height ON tree, whence he looks abroad,
wondering on the wide expanse of an
acre.
Music hath charms for him, and you
may entrance h i'm with softly whistled
tune and entice him to frolic with a
herdsgrass head gently moved before
him.-Forest and Stream.
