Valentine Party.

Several of the Bachelor Maids gave a
very pretty Valentine party at Hotel
Low Thursday evening. The evening
entertainment began with circulating
library. The puzzle of matching the
broken hearts upon the tables was very
interesting. Hearts with appropriate
quotations upon them cut in two were
passed and partners for supper were
found by finding the other half of the
quotation. The center piece was com,
posed OF 26 hearts with long red ribbon
attached to each heart and running to
the plates of the guests where it ended
with carnation. Each guest pulled a
valentine from the centre and read it be.

How to XIII Ground Mo.es,

Ground moles, aside from the dam
age they do to growing plants by lift
ing them or disturbing their roots,
are rather a friend than an enemy.
They are insectivorous, and it is IN
searching out grubs and cutworms
that they make tunnels. These tun-
nels are merely traps, into which the
worms fall and ere picked up by the
mole in his rounds. Persistent
tramping in of his runs will drive
him to parts of the garden or lawn
where he will do no harm. However,
if he must be killed, it can be easily
done. Open his tunnel, saturate some
waste with bisulphide of carbon, put
it into the hole, and cover with dirt.
The fumes will permeate the whole
system of tunnels, and kill all animal
life there. Don't poison grain; he
won't eat it. L. Irwin, in Farm
and Fireside.

WeeXiIs in Grain Bins.

If you have put weevil-infested
grain in bins, go at once and stop
the pests from continuing their de-
structive work. Spread clean sacks
over the grain and have the covers
all ready to close down tight. Now
take pint of gasoline to every so
bushels of wheat in the bin and pour
it over the sacks that lie on the
grain; close the lids and throw ex-
ira sacks or covers over all to keep
the air out and the fumes in, and
leave the fumes for "a hours to do
sheir work. Then raise the lids and
the odor will pass off and the weevil
will trouble no more. Of course BIZ
sulphide of carbon will have the same
effect; but the writer believes from
trial that gasoline is just as good,
and it is certainly more available and
cheaper. The above suggestion APP
plies also to the new wheat pest, the
anguomois grain moth.-Farm Jour-
nal.

as the lieutenant entered. Connolly
came to meet him and nodded sig
nificantly at Murray, who lay in
berth near the middle of the car,
still carefully watched by Hunt. Fos-
ter, wearied, had turned in, and, with
his face to the window, seemed to
have fallen asleep. The conductor
came through, lantern in hand.

"He doesn't deserve it, of course"
said the conductor. what he ought
to have Is an all-around licking But
I've known beer to have a soothing
effect on men who'd been drinking,
and it might put him to sleep and

LET him have it, said Stuyvesant,
briefly. 'I'll send it in by the stew
ard. And, corporal, if you or any
of your men would like it, I'll be
glad"
Some two or three looked quickly
and expectantly up, as though they
might like it very much, but Cor
poral Connolly said he "dassent," he
never took a drink of anything on

WILL FIGHT MOSQUITOES.
Army Quartermasters Have Ar
ranged for a Supply of Oil with
Which to Exterminate Them.

Arrangements have been made by
the army for wholesale raid on the
mosquito. Army headquarters have
arranged for a supply of oil, which will
be used in the determination of the
insects. All stagnant water within
the confines of military posts will be
treated with a dose of petroleum or
kerosene, it having been ascertained
that the introduction of oil under such
circumstances will dispel the pest Of
mosquitoes, to which insects army
surgeons attribute the spread of dis
ease.
This is the first time in the history
of the army that the theory of infec-
ton by mosquitoes has been officially
recognized, although for a long time
the army surgeons have been trying
to get the war department to issue
through the quartermaster' depart,
ment oil to be used in the exterminat-
ing process.
Capt. Gorgas, the army surgeon at
Havana, recently made report to the
war department which showed that
the abnormal health rate in Havana
is due mainly to the killing off of the
mosquitoes, and it is believed that
other localities nearer home will be
made more healthful if the same pre-.
cautions are taken.

that I would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any,
fortunately member of our Or
der advised me to try Peruna and gave
it such high praise that l decided to
try it. Although I started in with lit

week that 1 felt encouraged.
ST took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that l am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing

I enjoy that now."-Minnie e. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tones are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at a uniform price,
and no druggist can get it a cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempt
ed to substitute the cheap limitations
of Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done ev-
cry day without doubt.

heat it scalding hot, and when it has
cooled let them drink as much as they

Value of Marine Exchange,

Forty shipping men and others in
terested in the Tacoma waterfront
have organized a marine exchange
which will have for its chief business
the collection for it's subscribers news
concerning shipping al all ports of the
world, with especial outlook for Coast
ports, including Honolulu. The ex-
change will maintain a lookout station
at Cape Flattery, much on the order
of the one at Diamond Head where
vessels approaching Tacoma or other
ports on Puget Sound can be readily
sighted, and Immediately, on making
out their signals, the news will be tele-
graphed to the exchange and bulletin
ed
1t is also said that through the ma
rine exchange the interests of the port
of Tacoma will be IN the hands of those
directly interested in the shipping OF
the port. 1t was agreed that a very
important duty of the exchange should
be to facilitate in every way within its
power the shipping at the port of Ia
coma. Also, to carefully compile sta
tistics showing the tonnage move
ments, receipts and exports of mer-
chandise at this port, as compared
the Coast, and to use its influence to
the end that all merchandise shipped
from Tacoma shall be credited to the
port of Tacoma. To preven-, If posi-
