Camphor will prevent the ravages of
mice. Fer waterbugs fill cracks and
crevices with a paste made of two
tablespoons of plaster of paris, one
teaspoon of sugar and one tablespoon

To guard against buffalo bugs the
floors should be wiped with water in
which spirits of turpentine have been
mixed-to a large pailful of hot water
add a pint of turpentine. This is a
perfect preventive against this pest,
so much dreaded by the best house
keepers, and is we'll worth trying by
those whose closets and pantries have
been infested by these dreadful vermin.

veil OF extra size. Possibly a good
complexion appears even more brilliant
through the cobweb. That, at least,
is the theory advanced by the young
women who have so enthusiastically
adopted the new veil. A most realis-
tic variety of the veil has the cobweb
part wrought in pale gray, the spiders
of dull brownish black. and the flies
of properly brilliant hues. The black
wells, however, are likely to be more
generally preferred.

Each of the various salads possesses
a medicinal property of it's own, thus
affording a possibility of absorbing a
article of food. For example, lettuce
contains a well known narcotic prin-
ciple, opium, and may, therefore. be
taken for insomnia. Chicory has lax
alive properties. Watercress is a on
ic, excitant and purifier. Celery, a
stimulant, will do good TO the de-
pressed. Whatever faith one may have
in these marvellous properties, 1t is
easy enough to prove them. The trial
can be repeated daily, without danger,
and with pleasure to the palate.

To ExtermInate Insects.

Cleanliness is. the best safeguard
against insects, fresh air, soap and
water being all powerful, if no scrap or
refuse be left to decay unnoticed. Floor
and shelves of pantries should be wiped
with a damp cloth daily. The out
side of all utensils kept perfectly
clean, the slightest carelessness in this
particular being sufficient to bring a
whole army of pests.
Covered utensils not in daily use
should have their covers left slightly
ajar to admit air and prevent musti-
ness, and ofttimes rust.
The refrigerator should be kept nea
a window, so that it may be frequently
flooded with air and light. In no place

.sThat Beats the Devil,

A Christian woman in Illinois recently
followed a drinker, in whom she was
deeply interested, into a saloon. Just as
he was about to take a glass she tapped
him gently on the shoulder and re quested
him to go with her. He complied, and as
they marched toward the door the sa-
loonkeeper recovered sufficiently from his
amazement to calculate: THAT beats the
devil!' The lady turned and emphatically
retorted: Eyes, sir; it was my intention
to beat the devil" If it is the intention of
the church to beat the devil, his Gibral-
tar of intemperance must not be ignored.

/ was thinking of the summers
When we were boys and girls,
And wandered in the blossoming WOODS,
And the gay winds romped with your
curls.
And you seemed to me the same little girl
l kissed in the alder path,
/ kissed the little girls lips, and, alas,
l have reused a woman's wrath.
There is not so much to pardon
For why were your lips so red?
The blonde hair fell in a shower of gold
From the proud, provoking head.
And the beauty that flashed from the
splendid eyes,
And played round the tender mouth,
Rushed over my soul like a warm, sweet
That blows from the fragrant south.
And where, after all, is the harm done?
I believe We were made to be gay,
And all of youth not given to love
Is vainly sq%uandered away.
And strewn through life's low labours
Like gold in the desert sands,
Are loves swift kisses and signs and
vows
And the clasp of clinging hands.

OFFICER DuvALL's CASE CLOSED.
Attorney Pugh Says He Heard Him
Use a Bad Word.

The tlial of Bicycle Policeman j. A.

H. Dalnelle. was concluded before the
trlal board yesterday. The papers, with
the recommendation of the board, win
hardly reach Commissioner Wight before
the first of next week, as the stenographic
testimony will have TO be transcribed
Yesterdays session was devoted almost
exclusively to hearing the testimony of
Prosecuting Attorney James L. T'Dgh, in
whose office at the police court the alleged
offense was committed. After some delay
Mr.. Pugh put in his appearance and Capt.
Austin read TO him the specifications
which charged Duvall with using harsh,
violent and disrespectful language to the
chaGrin and embarrassment of Mr.. Hope
H. Darneille. and against the discipline
and good order of the police force
NJ. Pugh described the scene In his
office, and said he nolle PROSE- d the case
against DarneilIes brother because, he
ing an electric light inspector, he be-
leved Darneile should be allowed to
ride faster than other people The nolle
pros was not intended to reflect upon
Policeman Duval's arrest. He heard the
officer use the word ''d-n' waea the
paymaster spoke OF preferring charges
against him.
Mr. Pugh said, according to Judge
Kmball's ruling, ''d-n" was not punish
able as corsing or swearing. and he had
never prosecuted anyone for using the
word. In answer to question by At
torney Eugene o'Neill who appeared for
the policeman, Mr.. Pugh said he was
not chagrined or embarrassed by hearing
DuvalI use the word ''d-n." The prose-
cutor thought the officer also used the
word ''h-,'' but he would not be GER
tain.
Just before the session closed. Duvall
stated that, as Darneille was Leaving the
prosecuting attorneys office on the day
OF the trouble, he turned, and shaking
his finger at Duvall, said: I'm fix your
business"
''Gentlemen.'' said Mr. Darneille, dram
atically, ~ hope the eternal God may
strike me dead If / use the words
IN fix your business or shook my
finger at Duvall.''
