Some time ago we told Of a man
who accidentally caught a tiger with
a hook and line, and now We have to
tell of man who purposcly caught a
grouse in the same way. He had been
hunting all the afternoon without sue
cess, and, becoming Disguised at the
poor luck, put away his gun and
started out IN the afternoon with fish
ing tackle. While fishing he saw n
grouse in the grass on the bank OF the
stream, and, batting his hook with 4
grasshopper, made cast TO the bird.
Like fish, the grouse swallowed the
bait, hook and all. and started to ny
off But he was held fast and the
fisher bagged his queer gamo.-Atlan-

The Care OF House Plants.

In caring for house plants it is n
good idea TO treat them much as they
would he treated out of doors. 1t
doesn't rain every day. therefore II
cannot he necessary that they should
be delugcd every twenty-four hours.
To keep the plants wet all the time
makes them grow quickly hut poorly
They may spindle up. but the growth
Is not luNuriant. On the other hand
the soil should never be- allowed to be
come so dry as to injurc the roots. Dc
not water the plants too frequently,
but give them plenty of water at inter
walls. Pour over them enough so that
the soil becomes soaked and the water
oozcs out from the aperture in the bot
tom of the pot. Then do not water
them again until the soil looks dry.

Kidding Town OF nIosnnlton..

For several months past experiments
have been conducted at Sassar. m
Sardinia, by DIR. Fermi, DR.. Cossul-
Rocca and DR.. Lumbar for the purpose
of Kidding tho town of the pests of
mosquitoes with which it is overrun.
The doctors effectually destroyed the
larvae by distributing vast quantities
of petroleum in the swamps and other
spots where the insects bred and tho
mosquitoes were exterminated by
chlorine and other powerful destruc-
tive chemicals. The doctors in their
report consider it possible to free any
town infested with mosquitoes by this
means, provided it is not too unfavor-
ably situated. 1t is an economical
remedy, costing only about $3.50 a year
for town possessing a population OF
about $4,000 inhabitants.

FAMILY OF ENGINEERS.
Long and Faithful Railroad sorv,o. .

Long and Faithful RaIIroad Service of
All OF Them.
Michael w. Regain. who was killed In
the wreck OF the fast bound mail train
OF the Lake Shore at Westfield on
Wednesday. May %. was one of the
best known locomotive engineers In
this part of the country. He was in
the employ OF tho Lake Shore for a
generation, and always enjoyed the
confidence of the officials OF the line
as man who could make the time
and do careful conscientious work
Regan began rallroading as fireman
in 1853 on the State line work train OF
the old Buffalo G. State Line road, af-
terward extended to Ere, and called
the Buffalo e. Erie. and finally merged
into the Lake Shore C Michigan
southern. In 1866 ne got his step and
took the throttle OF switch engine ut
Dunkirk. The next year he ran the
work train at Silver Creek. and on
July 1, 1869, he went on the road as
freight engineer. In 1850 he was pro-
NOTED to passenger run, and up 10
his untimely end pilotcd the passenger
trains OF the Lake Shore in winter and
summer. Regain came from a family
OF engineers. His brother. Thomas
Rogan, has the opposite run on the
companion train. His brother James
Regan. who died a short time ago.
was an engineer on the Lake Shore.
and another brother, Edward Regain,
is an engineer the LehlGh Valley.
His son, Francis Regan. is an engineer
on the Lake Shore. and his two broth
ers-in-law also run on the same road.
In Regan's career of thirtyfour years
as a locomotive engineer he had but
three accidents, and none was the re
suit of his fault or negligence. He had
the reputation of making uniformly
good runs, and the train he was taking
out when killed is one of the fastest
mails in the country.-Bunalo Ex-

Treatment of Sheep with scab.

Careful experiments have been made
FOR the purpose of asccrtainlng how
long time should intervene between
he first and second dipping OF sheep
for the cure of scab. Thus IL was as
ccrtained that il requires four days
or IL newly-deposited egg to hatch. and
he entire time elapsing from egg TO
egg would be fourteen or fifteen days.
As there would he eggs I'm all stages of
incubation upon the sheep when 1t is
DIPPED for the cure of scab, a second
dipping should follow not sooner than
dive nor later than ten days after the
first dipping"

You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him - TO those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aver
medicines are not "cure-alls."
Perhaps if VIC tear a leaf
from his correspondence it will
show YOU what we mean. Here
is 4 letter which came last
March.

tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"DTAR MADAM:
We enclose our book on The Throa,

just the information you desire

You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we recon-
mcnded The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
DEAR DIR AVER:
My little boy has improved so much

Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry PectoraI. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here TO
serve YOU in Just the same way,
and we will tell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
