for If boiling water be added to increase
the heat of the bath, it naturally
ascends, and may scald him. Again,
let the fresh water be put in at as great
a distance from him as possible. The
usual time for him to remain in a bath

Let the chest and the bowels be rubbed

Let him be immersed in the bath as

As soon as he comes out of the bath he

keep up the action on the skin, he
should be put to bed between the

been obtained, between the sheets,

THE ORANGE WORM.
Every HOusekeeRer Has Reason g
Dread Its Appearance.

There is threat Of invasion by su

menace a great fruit-produeing IN.
dustry in this country, but every house
holder has reason TO dread its appear
ance on his table. Out in California the
orange growers are fairly panic
stricken, and not little alarm is felt in
Florida and Louisiana.
The insect has its home in Mexico,
1t is an unpleasant looking maggot
about an inch long and in eoAbr yellow
ish white. The pulp Of the orange Il
its food, and it makes its WY into the
fruit without leaving any outward and
visible sign Of its presence within.
This, indeed. is one Of thervorst thing
about II. II the infested frait exhibited
surface evidences OF having been at
tackled, the oranges might be picked
over and the bad ones rejected. But the
golden sphere. fair 20 look upon and
promising Joy TO the palate, is rotten
within. Cut open with knife, half Of
it's pulp perhaps is found to have been
devoured, and maybe dozen or more
of the disgusting larvae, authors of the
mischief, are seen within.
1t viii be easily understood that the
infestation of the groves Of Ca1ifornis
by this insect would be likely to cause q
loss of millions of dollars annually to
that state. Being a sort of next-door
neighbor to Mexico, California is in spe-
cial danger; and, realizing the fact, she
has already established a quarantine
against oranges from that country.
During the last six weeks the govern.
ment bureau Of entomology has been
making a special investigation of the
matter. II has sent an expert, Mr.. c.
II. t. Townsend, 10 Mexico, to study the
worm and its work, and he has made q
report on the subject. The maggot Is
the larvae of fly which lays its eggs
in the pores of the ripening orange on
the tree. The young larvae, on being
hatched, makes its way into the fruit
leaving any hole or other ex
ternOl sign, 1t bores down through the
pulp, eating as It goes, and converts thS
juicy interior into so much rot and
nastiness.
Naturally the Mexican authorities
have been perturbed by this threat OF
excluding their oranges. They have
presented arguments on the subject.
They declare that the insect in question
is not at all common; that is confined

"No, not that. It's for my family
right enough-but none of 'em needs it

it read: Sacred to the memory Of

Salathiel Green was appinted most
master of Squan Creek way back be-
fore the war, and up to two or three
years ago nobody hankered arter his
place. Then the salary was riz, the
post office moved into a drug store, and
50 different men began to itch TO boss
the mail bags. 1t was Moses jackson
who made the fust move. One day he
went over to Tobias Browns house,
and out into the back yard where To-
bias was mendin' a hoe, and arter sum
talk about fish, crabs and the weather
he suddenly says:
"Look-a-yere, Tobias, but 'sposin' the
mayor of New York should cum down
to Squan Creek to go out crabbin'?"
"Lordy!" gasped Tobias as he looked
up.
THE mayor of New York is a heap
of feller-almost as much of a feller
as the president of the United States"
"Nes, l know"
"If he was to cum down here TO 20
out crabbin' he'd expect to be met at
the train and welcomed. Sum one
would hev to make a speech and take
him home to dinner. The man to do it
is the postmaster, He's supposed to be
the biggest man in Squan Creek.
Tobias Brown, will you jist imagine
Salathiel Green maxim burnin' speech
of welcome to the mayor of New York
city, and afterwards entertainin' him
at dinner!"
"SnaiX and snails, but he never
could do it-never!" whispered Tobias
as he turned pale clear back to the
ears
"Of course he couldn't. He never
made a speech in his life, and as fur
dinner his wife would cook corned beef

that l may swell around and boss any

And so it was with 60 different
men, and not one of 'em could git a
single signer to his petishun. Sich as
didn't want to change wouldn't sign,
and sich as did wanted the office fur
themselves. Things went on this way
fur about a week, and then a public
meetin' was called. The 60 candi-
dates was all there. Moses Jackson
started in to make a speech to boom
hisself, but the other 50 riz up and
howled. and a mint later everybody
was fghtin'. Somebody locked the
doors on 'em, and them candidates jest
kicked and bit and scratched and pulled

having the initials engraved on 25-

It? A little electric motor and en-
