A Scarcrow for Mosquitoes.

John HabbertOn states with the
solemnity of firm conviction that
mosquitoes are extremely frightened
with dragon flies and will not come
within yards of them. He says
that one or two dried dragon flies
suspended from fine silk under the
roof of an open porch infested by
mosquitoes will scare all of the little
pests away, and they will not come
back while the dragon flies are
there. This, he says, he has tried
with surprising results. 1t is a
well known fact that dragon flies
are predatory and vocacious insects,
and that they subsist largely upon
gnats, midges and mosquitoes, and
it is but natural that the mosquito,
which is wise insect, should re-
gard the SPINDLE" alarming
needle" or dragon fly as the small
bird regards the hawk.

stantly approaching mortgages.
In Que ward only 10 own their
houses free of a mortgage-all the
others are either tenants or
mortgaged.
This same bulletin shows another
significant fact-that a larger per-
centage of foreign born citizens of
the United States own their homes
than of natives. This might have
been anticipated, for having been
bred in monarchical countries where
government by "experts" hedged
around by the doctrine of divine
right has long obtained, they are
better prepared for the condition
which we, in tails country, are but
inaugurating.
Who are the people who have no
homes &? Are they bankers or pro-
tected manufacturers or other fnan
cial experts I? "
But these census reports do not
stop even here in their disclosures.
They show that right along side
the factory made home markets in
Massachusetts nearly 1900 farms
have been abandoned, upwards of
700 of which had houes upon them.
In Pennsylvania, in New York. in
all New England, agriculture is in
unprecedented distress and farms
are being abandoned.
Take for illustration, Illinois.
Before the war this was the farmers
paradise. Almost every acre of it
is as fertile as the valley of the
Nile and is in high state of cult
walton, giving undisputable evil
dence of unremitting toll and
energy. Every county in it has
from one to twenty railroads. It's
cities have grown in wealth dnring
the last decade about $500,000,-
900. Yet the aggregate wealth OF
Illinois during the decade has de-
creased $4,000, 900, and during the
single year from 1892 to 1894 it
decreased upward Of $24, 900, 900.

ABOUT THE SPOON.
The Fork Has Taken Its Place Wher-
ever Possible.

The spoon is a time honored
utensil, but of late seems to be
growing in disfavor except in its
kingdom of liquids. Perhaps its
aristocratic standing has been a
little injured by the mushroom crop
of inartistic souvenir spoons which
are supposed by dealers to be the
great incentive to travel. To eat
with a spoon anything that can be
eaten with a fork is distasteful to
those who are sensitive to the nice
ties of life. Beside, it gives an all
of inelegance to ones table manners,
and it is at the table that one ex-
hibits most unconsciously ones
breeding or the lack of it, says a
writer in the ILLUSTRATED Ameri-
can" 1t is a positive embarrass-
ment to be given a spoon for eating
some dish which one is accustomed
to eating with a fork. If spoon
and fork be laid for dessert-the
spoon to be invariably of dessert
size-there then is no opportunity
for embarrassment.
| While on the subject of spoons
let us plead for small ones for eggs
served a la coque. Walters at
hotels have a reprehensible way OF
bringing ones eggs broken into the
bottom of a tall glass or egg cup,
tumbled together in an unappetiz-
ing fashion, all daintiness and
beauty gone. Into this unattrac-
tive substance one is expected to
throw salt, pepper, paprika, butter
and any other condiments and to
eat voraciously. Contrast this with
the perfect oval form of an UNI
broken egg, stood upright in a
holder which conceals but little OF
its symmetry, the shell pale
biscuit color and dull with I'M
CLOSED freshness. The eater cracks
off delicately the apex of the oval
with a small spoon, bold bowled
lest the sulphur mar its color on the
moment. Milk white and Oriole
yellow are the contents thus dis
covered, which are delicately
sprinkled with salt and pepper and
eaten little by little from the
natural cup which holds them.
This is the only way to eat a soft
boiled egg.

Truth Coming Home.

For five years past the Daily
Financial News has been trying to
get Wall streets attention to the
fact that a greedy money policy was
a menace to great institutions, like
our national bank system, which,
instead of being perverted by any
advantages for the banks at the
expense of the public, should be
perfected to make it the public's
most valued servant and a menace
to all which goes to make New
York what it should be, the great
leader of the country in a course of
prosperity, against a policy that
would inevitably make our city
first in the worlds cities as the
financial and commercial center of
a country first in the worlds
countries.
The feeling which greedy policy
has aroused in the Western and
Southern states, each of those sec
lions outnumbering the Eastern
states in electoral votes and in con
gressional representation, can now
be read in any of our daily papers
as reflected in the actions of state
conventions and the expressions of
leaders in the silver movement
which is sweeping over the West
and South like prairie fire.
Since the fall of Fort Sumter
there has been no uprising of the
people on any question to at all
compare with the silver movement
of to-day. 1t will be an irresist-
ible tidal wave by November, and
the Eastern states, and, above all,
New York city, will find safety and
prosperity only in aligning itself
with the country at large.-New
York Daily Financial News.

A Threat |

The Item learns that there is a
movement afoot in Wall street to
deliberately create one of the worst
panics this country ever had; to the
end that, in spite of the gold plank
in the Republican platform, Wall
street fears that the free silver
movement will be too powerful for
the success of the Republican ticket,
hence the described means are pro-
posed to avert the risk.
The method to be employed is
the same old story-call loans are
to be called in to create, first, a
panic upon the Stock Exchange,
and there depreciate the prices of
securities to panic conditions, and
from thence in all parts of the
country to demand immediate pay
ment for matured obligations of all
kinds and refuse the cash in loans
necessary to enable the debtors to
meet their debts, and thus ruin
thousands upon thousands of in
dustries so they can be bought in
"cheap."
This is not yet fully decided
upon, but it is being warmly urged
as a necessity of the situation.
These panic-inciters say the general
public, through consequent starva-
ton, must be forced into sense of
the power of the money lenders, in
order that there shall be no doubt
at the coming election of securing a
gold platform, whoever is elected.
This is shameful, if true.-Item,
Philadelphia.

FINE ART IN MOVING.
Some Details Which 1t Is Essential
Know.

Some Details Which 1t Is Essential TO
Know.
We are all familiar with the frequent
fitting Of many families, when the cart.
man swoops down upon the house,
lcdder, who gathers together oil his
goods and chGttels and packs them in
discriminatory ipto the vans. Equally
do we know, and to our unspeakable
sorrow and confusion, the discomfort
and annoyance, the WEAKNESS and sor-
row that attended the arrival, when the
goods are literally flung helter-skelter
into the house, and 1t is impossible to
find needed articles, however indus
triously one may search for them.
Tomove economically ana intelligent
ly 1t is necessary to make some arrange
ment beforehand. If the future resi-!
dence is vacant entirely or in part this
ia ar easy matter, but where the pros
pective dwelling is occupied until the
last moment The situation becomes lit
tie short of desperate.
The only way, then, is to prepare two
or three boxes or barrels with the nee
essary articles of food and the few
cooking utensils that one must have IN
order to prepare tolerable meal. These
should be kept until the last and put
onto the end of the load, so that they
can be removed among the first things.
Then they are set into the kitchen or
dining-room, where nothing is likely to
be piled upon them or in their way.
1t is wise always to prepare food for
several days in advance--bread, plain
cake, some potted meats or pot roast
or tongue that may be sliced and eaten
cold Coffee and tea and the necessary
vessels In which to make them should
always be kept within reach, as well
as the milk can and small pat of but
ter.
All these things can be put into small
space, and the family can delude them
selves into the idea that they are hav-
ing picnic and get along~with the sit
uation without too much friction.
thought to be rule with every family
to pack the kitchen utensils that are
not actually required, so that the in
coming tenant may find little room
for her belongings. 1t is formidable
task to clean house and put it in order
after oil the furniture Is In, butin these
days of special dates for such changes
there seems to be no help for 1t.
Matters of this sort are much worse III
the city than In the country. The secret
of successful and easy moving is, if pos
sible, to prepare the place, then send
the goods in installments.
There is quite q custom growing up
among householders of having sale of
goods at moving time, if they have lived
for any number of years in one place.
Where one can send articles, small
load at time, and arrange them as
they arrive, moving need not be such
serious undertaking, provided prop
er system Is kept ur throughout the
trying season.-N. Y. Ledger.

Its Beneficial Effect if Gone About In
Sensible Fashion.
Adjusting the saddle properly
has much to do with safe and COM
Portable riding. The rule should
be to keep the saddle as parallel to
the bar as possible. Avoid fitting,
especially backward. Breathe
through the nose; if forced to
breathe through the mouth, keep
the tongue we'll pressed against the
upper front teeth-to avoid inhala-
ton Of cold air, the force of which
should be broken by passing through
the nose and warmed for inspiration.
A sponge bath with tepid water
and friction is beneficial imme-
diately after a ride in the open air.
Sponging with diluted alcohol
relieves the muscular soreness and
stiffness.
Ice cold drinks, pastry and
sweets are not conductive to health
at any time. A cyclist, after a
long spin, needs foods to supply
the tissue waste. The hunger
which a ride in the parks provokes
is such that one can and should eat
only health producing food. "Hun-
CRY enough to eat anythingI" That
anything should be fruit, sand
wiches and milk. Tea made from
beef extract is stimulating and re-
freshing.
Violent riding will produce heart
disease. Women suffering from
shortness of breath will find the
exercise dangerous.
Only a sponge and friction bath
should be taken Immediately after
riding. The body is too fatigued;
! a full plunge is then too exhausting.
With proper adjustment of the
saddle and attention to dress at
seasonable times moderate cycling
will result in benefit to the majority
of women.
