This is particularly for our Bru-
neau friends: Chestertown, Md,
has found kerosene effective is get
ting rid of mosquitoes. "Some citi-
zens." says resident, chad expe-
rimented with coal oil as a remedy
and were surprised at the effective
ness of the liquid. The attention
of the authorities was called to the
matter, and after a series of tests
the people were given official notice
that every body should pour little
coal oil in rain water barrels, stag
nant pools and wherever water had
collected. No great quantity of oil
is required. A teaspoonful is suffi-
cient for barrel of water. The
diminution in the number of mos
autoes was easily noticeable, and
now the pest has been almost got
ten rid If.
A woman shoveled ore into car
in this city two or three days in the
forepart Of last week and she
handled the shovel dexterously as
a '49er Friday she varied her
amusement by trundling a wheel
barrow. which prompts us to remark
that if the gold standard is continued
a few years longer women will be
harnessed to plows and carts and
driven by the donkeys who do the
Dem.
