Place Where Mosquitoes
Force a Quarantine.
Lady Writes Of the Season in Flo
rida-SoCial Life at stand
still - Brushing.
(Harper's Weekly.)

l shall never forget the feeling / had
when one of my neighbors said, at the
| beginning of the season: "Oh, well.
there are not many days when you
cannot drive into town in the middle of
the day for the mail" l did not I'M
| derstand her, or scarcely believe her.
| but | do now. l also know of several
other families who have regularly pre-
pared for the mosquito season by lay
| ing in a stock of sewing and reading.
and who announced when the season
began, that they did not intend to go
out or to receive until it was over; so
that practically all social life is at a
standstill, invitations usually ended
with weather and mosquitoes permit
ting" The moonlight nights in this
little corner of the earth are glorious,
but we have only been able to enjoy
in nearly two months, and then only
for a brief half hour, while a strong sea
breeze swept in over the bay; at the
same time, friends living a mile away
have sat out on the piazza, every
| evening for a while"
| am writing of life on the coast of
| Florida, more than 800 miles south of
| st. Augustine, and of a part Of the
country that, in spite of mosquitoes,
| has a wonderful future before it, and
| is already the great truck garden sec
| ton of the state for early vegetables
and tropical fruit as we'll as a most
delightful winter resort and fishing
and hunting country.
ot,Ulng now at my front door, be-
| hind a screen of the finest wire work,
l can look out on to one of the most
beautiful of landscapes, the blue wa
ters of the bay ripping in the sum
shine, the long leaves or branches of
the cocOanut trees bending and sway
ing with a pleasant rustling, while the
crimson blossoms of the hibiscus
bushes are nodding good-naturedly
over the gray stones of the wall at
the knocking bird playing hide-and-
seek among the ginger plants; and just
beyond the wall, on the path leading
up from tDS NdltI, Dol uCl VA oiA
both sides by banana trees, there comes
| a man, who has just landed at the
wharf with a string OF sea trout for
me: he wears a frame over his head
covered with mosquito netting, and, as
| they say here, is batting himself
with a green branch that | saw him
| break from my favorite guava tree.
| Of course i shall buy the fish, which
will cost a mere trifie, but it will take
at least ten minutes to clear the kit
chen of mosquitoes that will come in
with the sea beauties; for, as my fish
erman says, they are very bad this
| morning"
If he We're visitor he would have
| to brush or be brushed off before he
could enter with the palmetto brush,
that takes the place of the front door

| brushing operation is noisy one.
All out-of-door work must be attended
| to in the middle of the day, when the
mosquitoes are less troublesome.

WHAT CUBA'S LOSS MEANS TO
SPAIN.

The loss Of Cuba means to Spain the
loss Of the very sustenance of the ma

are crying for bread. In the same way
the loss of your once vigorous appe-
tite means poverty and starvation to
your body. If any reader OF this pa

when a child, and wants to fully enjoy

DON'T LIKE CHANGE.
Bureau Chiefs Of Navy Department
Object to Board of Admirals.
Present Board of Construction by
order of Secretary Long to lie
Superseded by Naval Officers
Reason for Change.

AS preliminary step toward SIM
plification of the present bureau sys.
tenn in the navy department, Secretary
Long has determined to substitute for
the present board of construction,
which is composed of the bureau chiefs
and is supreme in all matters of naval
design, q board of admirals composed OF
officers not connected in any way with
the bureaus of the department.. The
secretary has been struck with the alb.
surdity of having the designs for the
component parts of a battleship passed
upon by the very men who are re.
sponsible for the details of the design.
Each man has naturally thought his
own crow the whitest and the result has
been almost constant pickering and dis.
agreement which has forced the secre.
tary to busy himself for large portion
of his time in settling disputes.
The secretary has decided to refer all
disputes among bureau chiefs to the
board of inspection and survey, presid.
ed over by Rear Admiral Frederick
Rodgers, and Of which Rear Admiral
,Schley is a member. 1t is hoped that
this step will do much toward prevent.
ing strife among the bureau chiefs. II
the steps already taken are not suffi.
cient to accomplish the desired end the
secretary intends to propose some leg.
islation to the next congress which
shall do away entirely with the preroga-
tives Of the different naval bureaus, re.
tanning these bureaus simply for the
benefit Of their expert opinion to be
given to board of admirals, which
shall have entire charge of all details
connected with the construction of the
new navy.
Admiral Dewey's name has been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the presidency of the proposed
board Of admirals. There is no method
of telling whether the admiral would
accept such a detail, but it would be
most desirable to have an officer OF
such ability and prudence filling this
important place.
The bureau chiefs generally resent
the change proposed by the secretary
especially Admirals Hichborn and Mel.
vile, the chief constructor and engineer
in chief respectively. These officers
have been in large degree responsible
for the designs Of the ships now com.
posing the navy and Admiral Hichborn
IN particular considers that If there is
to be any amalgamation he ought to be
the head of 1t. Secretary Long is deter
mined, however, that no officer at pres.
ent connected with any of the bureaus
Of the department shall be a member OF
the board of admirals, which he designs
to take the place of the present system

REV. W. M. BARRows SORRY.
Repents of Having Married Mrs.
sloane, Bat Is Severely
Censured.

The Connecticut Ministers associa-
ton, in annual convention at New
Haven the other day, severely censured
Rev. w. M. Barrows, of Greenwich,
Conn, for marrying Mrs. Sloane to
Perry Belmont, the New York million
aire, two hours after her husband had
divorced her on the ground of adultery.
Mr.. Barrows was present at the confer
ence, and expressed himself as very
repentant that he had performed the
ceremony. He said that he had been de-
ceived by the contracting parties, and
had no idea of the real facts in the case.
The association was unanimous In re-
GREETING the Belmont-Sloane affair, and
the discussion of the points involved
precipitated resolution forbidding
Congregational ministers in Connecti-
cut from marrying hereafter any per-
son who has been divorced for adultery,
or any other divorced person, without
a careful examination leading to full
and exact knowledge of the facts.
Comfy between states and churches is
to be respected, and ministers must
hereafter decline to marry parties who
are forbidden to remarry by q decree of
courts in other states or by the rules Of
other Christian bodies with which they
are connected. This is the first time
such law has been passed by Connec-
ticut Congregationalists.

IMMIGRATION OF FINNS.
Increased Number of This Desirable
Glass of People Coming to
This Country.

1t is said at the barge Office at New
York city that there is a steady, gradual
increase in the immigration of Firms.
There were 90 on the New York when
last she arrived at that port, and there
were about as many on the Umbria.
During the month of May $40 Firms
were passed through the barge Office.
This is q decided increase over last
year, above so per cent. The commits
sioners have not been informed of the
departure Of any large parties, though
there is much said of the preparation
of many parties. The immigrants are
said to be of an excellent class-not ap-
parently driven from their country by
poverty, but by stress of other circum-
stances, called the oppression of Rus
sian officials. 1t is described as not a
fight from starvation or even from
prospective want. 1T is simply the de-
parture of the youth of the nation, pros
porous, well clad, with money in its
pocket, determined to seek its fortune
elsewhere rather than come under the
Russian knout."

A stranger dropped into one Of the
Woodward avenue groceries the other

any nuts. Tie clerk answered in the
affirmative.
What kind do you want?" he asked.

to me, will yol?"

he ratified off a number Of other varie-
ties, but the strange: shook his head.

The stranger smiled. That's it,

How many do you want?" asked
the clerk.

WOMAN RETALIATES.
Boarding House Keeper Evens Up
with Noisy NeighbOrs by Start
ing a Nursery.

| Mrs. Marguerite Davis, as Woodbine
street, Brooklyn, has been unfortunate
In her attempts to run clearinghouse.
One of her neighbors gives music les
SONS and another runs kindergarten.
The combination yas too much for
Mrs. Davis boarders, so she has hit
upon a scheme to make money and get
even with her neighbors at the same
time. She plans to open a nursery fol-
babies, which will make more noise
than kindergarten and music combined.
Mrs. Davis decided on this method
after an unsuccessful attempt to keep
her rooms rented. The dodgers would
remain few days and then leave. So
Mrs. Davis organized the "Woodbine
Nursery of Brooklyn"
Iwillhave little racket of my own,"
she said, with smile.

Names known of Old.

The instruments now known as the
telephone and microphone are of COM
paratively recent invention, but the
origin of the names dates back many
years. In 1927 Wheatstone gave the
name of microphone to an apparatus
invented by him, to render weak sounds
audible, and in 1s45 steam whistle or
trumpet giving roaring signals in
foggy weather was called telephone by
Capt. John Taylor, while Sudre used
the same name in 1854 for a system OF
musical telephony.

WANTS IN WASHINGTON.
what They Signify and How They Are
Disposed OF


The following dialogue took place In
the adjutant-generaPs office, and is
fair sample of what can be heard there
almost continually:
"Are you a truthful man?" asked
Senator Burrows.
mo, SIR" replied General Corbin.
Sometimes l am not"
THAT is very bad"
"Did you ever hear how little girl
defined a lie?" asked Corbin.
"I never did"
"Her Sunday school testhsr asked
her what a lie was, and she repliad:
A lie is an abomir alton in the sight
of the Lord, but an ever-present help
in the time of trouble
That's true" said the senator, "and
1 want a man appointed chaplain"
you can't have him."
"Why?"
"we've more chaplains thar we
want"
This man is a very religious man."
Cant help It.. II he is very reli-
gious he won't do. A man can be too
pious to make a good army chaplain"
'1 want a boy appointed cadet at
large at West Point"
"Was he in the late WARP
mo"
Was his father?"
"No."
Cant appoint him."
"Why?"
"The President will not appoint any
one to a cadetship unless he or his
father was in the war, and most Of the
appointees will be boys whose fathers
were killed. He will make no excep-
tions."
"I've got Just the boy" exclaimed
the senator, and he mentioned the
name of one, who did not, however,
meet all the requirements. General
Corbin said he would not do.
"I have another" said the senator.
"Who?"
"a son Of General Edwin c. Mason"
"The President already has him on
the list. He will be appointed"
"Now, want you to appoint vet
Urinary surgeon"
"will see you later about the veteri-
nary"
Good day, then" said Senator Bur-
rows.
Good day." said General Corbin.

BROKEN THINGS MADE NEW.
How a B0stOa Girl Lis Earning Lots of
Money by Patching Up
Fragile Ware.

A Boston girl has begun the work of
repairing precious pottery, glassware,
porcelain and statuary. Last year she
patched up 100000 worth OF fragile
ware, and she got nearly ten per cent.
on the value of the goods redeemed. 1t
is said to have been more than the sal
ary of Mayor Quincy or Gov. Wolcott.
This girl began by inducing large
department house to allow her to re-
pair, not only their own fine pottery
and glassware, but to take orders from
the customers of the house who
brought their broken ware there in the
hope that there was some one in the es-
tablishment who could fix it up She
was an artist, to begin with, and in ad-
dition she had a good deal of meohan-
ical ingenuity. Later she got contract
from an art museum in Boston to do
such work Of this kind as the museum
could supply. This includes many rare
vases and other articles which are dug
up in old world fields, and which reach
the museum mass of a thousand frag-
ments. The little pieces are taken to
the studio of the bric-a-brac surgeon,
and there the artist-mechanic spends
hours, days and weeks in asserting the
fragments and putting them together.
She uses particularly fine kind of
cement, which is made from the al
bumen of eggs, mixed with evaporated
whey. This cement will endure heat
and moisture and is everlasting.
One of the latest triumphs of this girl
is seen in built-up glass urn from
the valley of the Nile. This precious
relic is exhibited in museum. 1t is
apparently aawless, and through It the
beautiful hues of the rainbow simmer
like the dancing colors of soap bub
BILE in the sunlight. Yet this urn came
to the museum in thousands of little
bits. So carefully have these frag-
ments been put together that scarcely
trace of the mending can be seen,
even by the keenest eyes. Recently a
fabulous price was offered for the urn
and refused.-New Haven Register.

A Matter OF Habit.
