GOT EVEN WITH JOKER.
Paris Man Gets Thorough Thra .hins for
,Jo<c of Years efore.

The world always laughs when the
practical joker is come up with" even
if many years have elapsed since the
joker had his inning. 1t was in 1890
or Whereabouts that a Paris drummer
boarded train in Bordeaux for home
He had made a good sale in Bordeaux
and was feeling ripe for anything 1t
occurred to him what g0od joke it
would be to lean out of the window of
the car and slap some ones face as the
train rolled out He did the act. pulled
his head in and chuckled all the way to
Paris as he pictured what the victim
of his joke was saying TO himself and
to others. Years passed and the drum
mer prospered. He went into business
for himself, and consequently grew
staid and sober. A little while ago as
be was walking along one Of the bOule-
cards in Paris man stepped up to
him and asked him if he had ever lived
in Bordeaux. The staid and sober
business man said he never had, but
when he used to be commercial trav-
eler he frequently had been in the
town. WhereupOn the stranger re-
called theface-slapping episode and said
he was it, and begged permission to re-
turn the compliment, which he pro
ceeded to do vigorously The staid and
sober business man regained his lost
youth marvelously quick, and it was a
lively scrimmage when the police
stepped in and ran both men off to the
station house. There upon reflection
the business man refused to enter a
complaint against the man with a
memory, and decided to call the affair
even.

No More Tipl to CrOu piers

The tip question bothers Monte
due to giving and taking tips eight
croupiers have been dismissed and
other employees of the gambling estab-
lishment have been disciplined It all
came about through the dispute which
invariably arises when winnings are
made by persons other than those con-
uected with the house" When the
wheel stops on a winning number ar
gument begins as to who really put
his money on that number, and the
croupiers naturally have been disin-
clined to side against those who have
tipped them literally The same is the
case when the dispute is left with the
presiding croupier OF course the ag-
grieved player could go up higher and
appeal to officers superior to the crou-
pier, but this course usually is dis
tasteful to gamblers. The spirit of dis
satisfaction grew so strong that some
thing radical had to be done. for the
bank wins from 81 200 900 60 5000 600
year from the players, besides what
the players win from one another. Nat
urally enough, the managers of the
bank have decided to allow the crou-
piers to take no tips whatever from
any of the customers.-New York

SULTAN AGREES TO PLANS.
Jews May Eventually Call Promised
Land Their Own.

At last it seems as if the Jews might
get back to the Promised Land and
eventually be able again to call it their
own. DR.. Herzl, the founder of the
Zionist movement, has laid before the
Sultan a scheme for the colonization
of parts of Southern Palestine, and his
plan is backed up by the Kaiser. DR..
HerZl offered fair payments in return
for a definite security of tenure, with
internal governing rights over great
tracts of land The payments We're to
take the form of a certain sum down,
vanced. But on the part Of the Jews
international securities for the carry
ing out of The undertaking are de-
handed, and the leading surety is like
ly to be the Kaiser himself. The Sui
tan treated DR.. Herzl's delegation
kindly, and promised to grant the
part of what the Zionists asked An
international congress of Jews will be
called shortly to support the plans
made by the leader. The first step
the rebuilding of the harbor of Jaffa,
and then large irrigation schemes will
be undertaken This work will be done
by Jews brought from Galicia, ROu-
mania and Russia. The scheme, far
from being charitable, is business
venture from which good returns are
expected. New York Press

Wasp STiNCS ARE FATAL.
People Have Been Known to DIE from
the Insects Assault

In an article on the stings of Wasps
British medical journal cites the two
following cases which have come under
its notice: A strong, healthy girl of
q was stung on the neck by a wasp
and tainted. On regaining conscious
ness she complained of a general feel
ing of numbEess and partial blindness
and vomited; she suffered severe alb
dominal pain. She recovered in the
course of a few hours. Two months
later she was stung again, this time on
the hand. Her face became flushed.
she again complained of numbness and
blindness, suddenly became very pale,
tainted and died twenty-five minutes
after she was stung. Another case was
that of a girl of % years who was
stung by a wasp behind the angle of
the jaw. The sting was at once ex-
tracted and ammonia applied. In
few minutes she complained of faint
ness and would have fallen if she had
not been supported. He face assumed
an expression of great anxiety and a
few minutes later she was tossing on
ing Of choking and of agonizing pain
in the chest and abdomen. Brandy
gave no relief. There was nausea, but
no vomiting. She rapidly became in
sensible and died fifteen minutes after
receiving the sting. The most prob
able explanation of such cases seems
to lie in what is known as idiosyncrasy
that is, abnormal sensitiveness in
particular individuals to certain toxic
agents. 1t is well known that drugs
vary much in action on different peo-
pie What is a safe dose for one is dan
geTously large for another. The inabil-
ity &C some people to eat strawberries
or shellfsh is another instance of the
same phenomena. The active agent OF
bee stings is generally believed to be
fOrmic acid. 1t, therefore, seems very
desirable that we should have more ac-
curate information regarding the ac-
ton of this drug on different species
of the lower animals and through them
on man himself.

QUEER NEWS SERVICE.
Communication Across Country with
Horns. Tomtom. and Whistles.

Horns. Tomtoms and Whistles.
A French explorer has discovered a
most curious news service in opera
ton among the savages of Africa. By
this means news of important events
IN the interior of the SOudan reaches
all the trading ports on the coast in a
very snort time, although there is no
electric telegraph or telephone in the
interior The communication is made
by means of various instruments, the
most commonly employed being horns,
romtoms, and whistles. The horns are
of solid ivory, made by following out
elephants tusks. The mouthpiece is
at the side. These trumpets are OF all
sizes, but the favorite ones are very
long and give seven distinct notes, pro-
duced by plugging the mouth with
corks of various sizes. The ordinary
tomtom is hollow log of wood, with
a goatskin stretched over one end.
The following instance Will illustrate
the way in which these native tele-
phones are employed The post COM
mander at Stanley Falls was informed
by a native of a neighbOring village
that a provision train had been at
tackled by robbers two days before at
a point $50 miles further down the
kongo. A week later the party arrived
and confirmed the story in part. They
had reached the scene of the alleged
attack at the time reported, but the
shots which the natives had taken as
indications of conflict with robbers
had been fired at a herd of antelopes.
More recently, when an officer of the
French kOngO came to grief in the
rapids, the accident was reported the
next morning at village 1876 milss
distant. Among the Bengala tribe

HOW TO TFhP NCs CUTCES.
A Novel Method Proposed by Face
tIouS Man.


Few persons know it, but it is a
fact. nevertheless, that a mosquito can
be caught without any sort of trouble"
said a gentleman who has always
manifested a deep concern in Anopho-
les culex, and all the other winged
pests belonging to the tribe. 1T is the
easiest thing in the world to do and
while the discovery may not solve the
whole mosquito problem, and may
have no particular bearing on the dis
seminatiOn of germs by these flying
pedlers, it will certainly console the
to know that he can catch Anopholes
culex or any of the others, just for the
trying. Two things are absolutely
necessary in order to make the cap
ture The mosquito must be allowed
to light on ones body. Then he must
be allowed to unsheath his labum and
begin his boring for oil, blood or what
ever his appetite may crave. When the
mosquito gets into this position he is
absolutely at the mercy of the fellow
whose corpusclCs he is seeking to rifle.
One may make prisoner of the mos
quito without stirring a hand or NOV
ing muscle. How? Simply quit
breathing Sit still and hold your
breath. The mosquito, with all the
force of his wings and legs could not
break away from the spot where he
had sunk his beak, and the only re-
naming thing to do would be to slip
ones finger up under is wings. get
a good, firm, grip on its back and then
swat him in the head or slay him in
some other way. The method is very
simple when we come to think of it.
While we breathe Of course. the pores
OF the skin are kept open, if the body
is in a normal condition. This cOndi-
ton, of course, is Of great aid to the
mosquito, although his lance is prob
ably keen enough for him to break
into a corpuscle without this assist
ance. When we stop bvea hing the
pores close, the hoe in which the mos
quito has showed his beak contracts,
and it is impossible for him to break
away."-New Orleans Timcs-D mocrat.

Protecting Fruit Trees.

81 learned a trick while in the Phil
ippines in the matter of keeping birds
ont of fruit trees" volunteered a we'll
known official of the pOstoffice depa. t
ment. which may be of value to
many just now, when so many cher
ries are being destroyed by birds It
is simple. inexpensive and, as far as l
could observe. practical 1t consists in
hanging a small mirror on the top
limbs of the tree. There shOu be at
least six inches of string to the mirror,
so that it can swing about as it is
blown by the wind The flash of the
mirror, it appears, scares the birds
away One or two scent mirrors hung
on a tree is sufficient, though, of
course. three or four would be much
better | was told that this method
had worked in the Philippines success
fully for many years. and that the
birds do not grow familiar with it as
they do with a scarecrow. Since my
return here | find that the mirror
scare is not unknown here, and that it
has been il use by Michigan fruit
growers for many years. | have tried
it myself in a small way and it is
amusing what stir it creates among
the birds"

ABOUT INSECT PESTS.
Men Fight Insects with Other Insects in
Ha wal Islands.


Few countries have suffered more
from the introduction of insect 2 SITS
than the Hawaiian islands. The two
chief products of these islands are
sugar and coffee, while a considerable
amount of fruit is also grown. Along
with the imported trees came their in
sect enemies, notably the scale insect
and the aphis. In the course of time
these increased so prodigiously that
they threatened to destroy the indus
tries of the country. Man is doomed
to a constant struggle against nature,
and he is often compelled, 50 to speak
to fight her with her own weapons
So it was in this case. The trees were
being destroyed by insects; remedy:
import moro insects. So in 1890 Ger
tain ladybi ! (Vedalla cardndiis) was
sent over from Australia. 1t became
completely naturaliZed, and increas I'd
projigiously, feeding on the scale in
sects, which it soon reduced in Num-
berS, until they became comparatively
scarce. But there were other insect
plagues-aphides and others of differ
ent orders. The government therefore
employed a naturalist to import more
insects. These were brought from
Australia, and many of them have es-
tablished themselves and done good
service. One of the most useful is
ladybird which feeds on the aphides,
which had seriously attacked the sugar
canes. It has done such good work
that there is every prospect of the
canes being speedily cured-Cham-
