A sample of the loyalty and reliabil-

the fact, we'll founded, that last Sab
bath morning the inmates of one of
our best homes leisurely spent the
morning hours in sleep until the
clock told 8; when upon arising to par
take of a nice Sunday breakfast, they
found cold stove and all things else
in sympathy with it's chilly condition.
We are told all things are transient in
this world; but if there is any evanes-
cent thing ahead of the Brookhaven
cook, we would like to be informed.

How to Select Guests.

In entertaining small companies do
not make the mistake of inviting the
same people to meet each other often.
If you have party of six musical peo-
pie it will be enjoyable for them to
sing, play or talk music to one an
other once or twice. But remember
than many people who can neither
sing nor play any instrument enjoy
music passionately. Invite these non
musicians to meet one or two of those
who make music. If you know two or
three people who love books and read
ing, bring them together some even
ing. Ask one of them to read aloud a
new short story or magazine sketch,
or an old but perhaps unfamiliar one.
If you have among your friends two
good story-tellers, do not invite them
t entertain each other, but ask people
whom you know will enicy their
stories to meet each from time 10

tive listener, especially one who is

The Attractive Woman.

One type of women there is who in
voluntarily creates high aspirations,
inspires hope in the hearts of the
hopeless and revivifies by the touch of
her presence. Her coming sows sun
beams in the warp of life's fabric;
with her departure the night comes
on. Her mission is inspiration. Had
Sissiphus met her she would have in
spired him with high hopes of becom-
ing a respectable stone-mason. The
other type is only little less charm
ing, and maybe is cen more helpful.
This is the woman whoes very pres.
ence stills all protests against existing
conditions, who brings peace and con.
tentment, who smoothes out the
wrinkles in life's ugly places. She IS
an optimist by nature. By the light
of her own life she plucks from ugly
recesses that which is fair and beauti
full, and by precept and example in.

Animals in Fable.

Every one will recall the Esopic
story of the lion and the mouse; how
the life of the mighty monarch was
saved by the small creature whom he
once had spared, says George S. Hill
man in the Atlantic. To our recogni-
ton OF this story of a truth universal
In its human application is due, al
most entirely, our interest in the
mouse and the lion. In our eyes they
are not mouse and lion. but two
men teaching the lessons that the
mighty shall be humbled, that nothing
is too Insignificant to be of some SER
vice, and that it is good to cast bread
upon the waers. We do ret stco to
consider whether a lion understands
the mouse language, or whether a
mouse is given to gratitude. They
are merely convenient forms, es-
sentlally human, and they show
animal characteristics only very
secondarily. when at all. In the
Indian tales where animals figure as
chief characters, the method is the
same, though there is often the added
purpose of doctrinal instruction.
feasible because. of the Buddhistic
belief in the transmigration of mems
souls into the bodies of beasts. The
Bible shows similar use; and per-
haps in all literature there is not
nobler instance of the introduction of
animals to teach ethical truth than is
to be found in the parable of the lost
sheep.

HER ROMANCE WAS SPOILED.
How kind-Hearted Neighbor Wa:
Grossly Deceived.

Grossly Deceived.
On the North Side there is pretty
little home destined for a young
couple soon to be married. At pres
ent the groom elect keeps bachelors
headquarters in the house. The
neighbors are, quite naturally, inter-
ested in the movements of the young
man. The fact that he has
several friends visit him each
evening is big subject for
pleasant comment in the vicinity.
Neighborly interest in the groom elect
and his friends is intensified by the
fact that all the young men are COM
paratively strangers in the block
Several weeks ago lady in an ad-
jacent home noticed the groom elect
working in the flower beds.
Hes at home so late,'' she ex-
planned to her friends, "and the
flowers need water so badly to have
pretty flowers when she comes. l
think he's planted heliotropes."
Late in the evening she had the
satisfaction of seeing the groom elect
working in the flowers, picking here
and there surplus leaves from the
plants, and evidently supplementing
her work by careful pruning.
Thursday afternoon she leaned over
the fence to have closer look at the
plants. They appeared to be green
enough, but there were no flowers. A
closer scrutiny disclosed the fact that
the plants were shedding their leaves
and only the stalks, with bunch of
green at the top, remained.
Then the kind-hearted neighbor con-
cluded to go over to the flower bed
and make a careful inspection of the
plants. She came back hurriedly and
out of breath.
He's wicked young mani" she an
nounced to her nearest neighbor
shortly afterward. What do you
suppose he's planted in that flower
bed? It's mint! A big bed of mint.
And | have been watering it all this
time"
That night a tuneful clink of ice in
tall glasses, a gurgle from the throat
of quart bottle, a faint aroma of
mint, and the laughter of a party of
men around table within the walls
of the pretty home told an eloquent
story of the industry of the groom
elect in planting flowers for his
fiancee.-Atlanta Constitution.

MEDITERRANEAN MOTH.
Minnesota EntomoIcgist Tells How to
Prevent Spread of Pest.

Prevent spread OF Fest.
Professor Otto Lugger, entomologist
at the University of Minnesota agri-
cultural experiment station, when
asked in regard to the story of the
ravages of the Mediterranean moth in
the idle -four mills at West Superior,
Wis, said:
Minnesota is absolutely free from
the pest We have known of its ex-
istence in the northwest over a year,
and we have been fighting it. Every
thing necessary has been done and
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended. A warning was issued in an
article in the Northwestern Miller
April IS, 1900. describing the pest and
the methods of exterminating it. In
termittent cold will kill the moth and
so will the fumes of bisulphide of
carbon. The bisulphide can be used
only in small quantities. as the gas
arising therefrom is very inflammable.
Every miller should be careful not
to take into his mill any secondhand
sack, bag or barrel, or il he has to do
so, it should not be permitted to be
taken into the mill until disinfected
Another cause of the spread Of the
moth is secondhand mill machinery.
AS the millers increase their business
they replace their old machinery with
new, and in this way send out moths.
This insect Is of domestic habit and
flies little. They are not like other
moths, which futter about flame. or
two mills side by side. one may be
infested and the other not. provided
they don't interchange bags.
''The worms are very ravenous and
constantly run about the mill, and
of web II is not so much what they
eat that does harm as the web they
weave. There is a direct ratio be-
tween low prices of grain and insects.
The farmers hold their grain, which
allows the different bugs to propa-
gate. They must live near the top
and the farmers should stir their
grain from time to time and fumigate
it. They should keep II IN alright
bins, so they can use the bisulphide OF
carbon. 1t is the worst insect that
ever infested home. 1t gets in the
crackers, bread and other things made
of flour
Where there was one bug twelve
years ago to trouble the farmers there
are now fourteen or fifteen. They are
brought by commerce. In one in
stance there is bug which feeds on
grain, and there is a wasp which eats
the bug. Where there is such bug
nature provides against 1t, and when
we find the bug that eats the Mediter-
ranean moth shall bring 1t here You
may say that the prospects for the ex-
termination of the moth are bright,
and that we expect to be rid of 1t by
spring"
The moth was first discovered In a
-four mill in January in 1877. and was
named "Kuehniella Zell," after Profess
sor Kuehn. who discovered It. The
progress OF the moth may be traced
up to the year 1889, when 1t was found
in Canada. In 1892 1t was found on
the Pacific coast, and In 1894 In
