How to Destroy Mosquitoes.

1.-TWO and one-half hours are re-
quirpd for mosquito TO develop from
it's first stage, speck resembling
cholera bacteria. to its active and ven
omous maturity.
The insect in all its phases may
be instantly killed by contact with
minute quantities Of permanganate of
potash. 1t is claimed that one part
of this substance in 1900 of solution
distributed in mosquito marshes will
render the development Of larvae i'm
possible: that handful of permanga-
nate will oXidize Il tcn-acre Swamp,kill
the embryo insects and keep it free from

of insect pests ut a small cost. An
cficious method is to scatter a few

Garlic Eaters in the United Stntes.

OO0 pounds OF garlic annually con-
sumpd by Italian. French and other
foreign residents Of the United StateS,'
said a wholesale dealer in the ve2eta.
bic in New York City recently About
three-Uuartcrs of the garlic eaten in
the country is imported from Italy and
the rest is raised OH farms in Connecti-
cut, in Louisiana, in Texas and in
New Mexico. All garlic, both import
cd and American, is put up in strings
or punches. The vegetable is put up
in tat form because it keeps better
and can be easier handled. The work
is done entirely by hand, and an en-
pert buncher can put up from 400 to
800 lunches day.
Carrie comes in hampers containing
about 40 pounds. 1t is sold by the
pound or by the bulb, which is worth

garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which it is famous. When stacked
up in large quantities or packed in a
hamper, there is no noticeable odor

Love the Supreme Test.

In these days, when much is said and
written about confessions Of faith and
the tests that should be applied in de-
termining who are Christians, it is we'll
to bring to mind the statements and re-
quirements Of the New Testament. The
Gospels and Epistlcs have much to offer
directly and infcrcntially on the sub
ject. Hereby shall all men know that
yc are my disciples, if yc have love one
to anothcr." by their fruits ye shall
know them" Peter said to the inquirer
by the waysidc, that in asserting II be-
licvc that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God" he was entitled to be baptized as
Christian disciple. Paul declares that
'as many as are led by the spirit of God
they are sons of God" and he also de-
cnres. "he that hath not the spirit Of
Christ is none of his" John wrote. "He
that confesscth that Jesus Christ is come
i'll the flesh, is of God" 'He that low
eth, is born of God and knoweth Cod"
Jesus emphasized the two great COM
mandmcnts as expressing the essential
principles of the religious life. Again,
Paul, in harmony with Jesus and John,
says, "that love is the fulfilling of the
law" This is the essence Of the Cos
pei. Love is made the condition Of close
fellowship with the Father, Of true dis
with the Saviour, and of right
with the world. Jesus was
the great exemplar of the divine love
for man and of mans duty toward God
and his fcllow-beings. Love is the SUI
preme test of sonship with God and of
with Jesus. He who mani
tests this love is a Christian, because he
has Chrit's spirit and is seeking to live
the Christ life.

Scranton, Benn. (SpeciaD. An e1-
plosion, the cause of which the police
are Investigating, brought about the
collapse and total destruction Of two
large brick buildings in the heart Of
the city. On structure was that occu-
pied by the Merchants and Mechanics
Bank, one of the oldest institutions Of
the kind in the city. The other build
ing was occupied by D. 1. Phillips as
furniture warehouse. This was owned
by the James Blair estate. At least
eighteen persons were injured, but all
Of them are expected to recover with
the exception of the bank watchman,
Frank Woelkers. 1t Is declared that
the affair was due to an explosion OF
illuminating gas.
The concussion was terrible, and
was heard for miles. All the windows
of the buildings adjoining and across
the street were wrecked. The two
buildings collapsed like broken egg
shells. The front walls shot out into
the street, injuring several persons on
the walk, and one young girl was bur-
led in the debris. How any one inside
the two buildings could escape alive is
difficult to comprehend, and yet many
were there and none was killed. The
loss is $4,000. Many deeds of daring
were witnessed In rescuing the injured.

eral men west of Hugo. Col, ninety
miles this side Of Denver. The pas
sengers in, the Pullman sleeping cars
were robbed of their money and val
uables. ~
An old man named Fay, a resident
Of California, who had been visiting
In Denver and was on his way to st.
Louis, refused to surrender his valu-
ables and fired shot at one Of the
robbers, but missed. Thereupon the
robbers fired, one shot entering Fay's
mouth and coming out Of the back Of
his head, killing him almost instantly.
The robbers got on to one Of the
sleeping cars near Limon, and after
the train had started the men made
noise at the door. The conductor,
thinking they were tramps. opened the
door to put them off, The robbers,
who were masked, pointed q pistol
at his head and ordered him to lead
the way through the coaches. All
Of the passengers were asleep, and the
conductor was ordered to wake them
up one at time. The frightened pas
sengers were told to keep quiet or they
would be killed, and at the same time
were asked to hand over their money
and yaluables. The robbers obtained
about 500 in cash and q number Of
gold watches and other pieces Of jew
elry.
The conductor, who was compelled
to hold the bag while the robbers re-
lieved the passengers, lost his watch,
and asked that it be returned to him
in order that he might run his train
on time. The robbers gave 1t back.
After ransacking the two coaches, the
men made the conductor pull the bell
cord. but the train was going so rap
idly that 1t arrived ut Hugo before 1t
slowed down enough to enable them
to jump. They compelled the con-
ductor to get, off ahead Of them, SO
that if any Of the passengers had been
watching for them they would have
shot him first. After the robbers had
dismounted they ordered the conductor
to return to his train.
Miss Shaw, Of Denver, a passenger
on the train, stated that when the
men entered the cars every one was
asleep, and very few knew anything
of what was going on until they were
awakened by the robbers. When the
men came to her berth pistol was
pointed at her face and she was told
to be quiet and hand over her valua.

she opened her pocketbook, letting a
