BUG TRAP FOR TABLE LEGS.

of course, soils the cloth. The best
way is to prevent the pests from
climbing up the table legs, and that
is Just what the invention of p. j.
McAtee, of Gilberton, Pa, is designed
to accomplish. We illustrate the idea
in the accompanying picture, a por-
ton of the trap being cut away to
give view of the interior arrange
ment. The bug who climbs this table
leg must not only know how to swim,
but also be able to find his way out
of the trap when once inside, and the
chances of his reaching the top are
small indeed. The slanting upper
wall of the trap is highly polished,
and this causes many of the insects
to fall into the liquid as soon as
they attempt to crawl across it. The
liquid may be kerosene or some poi
son, making it impossible for the in
sects to long survive a bath in the
trap The invention may be used on
tables, beds, dressers, and, in fact,
any article of furniture on which cas-
tors are used, as it comprises a cas-
tor with an extra long shank, having
the trap surrounding the lower por-
ton and adapted to support the leg
as shown.-Chicago Daily News.

ter, and this can be brought in prox-
unity with any portion of the body
while the remainder is given hot
treatments by other appliances. The
special function of the cooling tank
is to regulate the temperature of a
pyretic or febrile patient-as, for in
stance, in spinal meningitis, pneumo-
MIA, typhoid fever and all forms of
eruptive diseases, where bodily tenn
perature plays such an important
role. In spinal meningitis and ty-
phoid it may be necessary to apply
heat to the spinal column and neck
of the patient to produce muscular
relaxation, while the general temper
allure is reduced by the application of
the cooling apparatus to 6sher parts
of the body. The mattress of the bed
is adapted to be inflated with hot
water or air, and in order to main
tain the water at the required tenn
perature the mattress is connected
with the water heater in proximity
to the bed by means of a pipe. 1t
will be noticed that supports for a
fractured arm or leg are also pro-
vided, as well as thermometer, writ

crackers and Matches and Made
a Show of Herself.

A peculiar circumstance happened
near Rochester, n. Y, not long ago,
where a gentleman was spending
few days with his family. The fences
were down so that the cattle could
roam at will along the lake shore.
and in doing so one COW came across
a small package which she began to
devour with a relish.
Suddenly there was noticed by the
occupants of the cottage a flash ana
then loud report. Fire flashed out
of the mouth of the COW, which made
a desperate attempt to get rid of
something unusual to her as a diet.
The onlookers were established as
well as the COW, and the latter, with
great gulp, swallowed what had
created the rumpus in her mouth
and all was quiet again. The solu-
ton of the matter was that the ami
NAL had gathered in her mouth while
browsing a small package of fire.
crackers and parlor matches mixed,
which had been thrown down by Wis
itors, and in chewing the stuff had
set one of the matches ablaze. This
in turn fired a firecracker, and hence
the explosion which astonished the
people and the COW.

HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.
The Fearsome Future Woman to
Whom the English May BE Ex-
pected TO Look Forward

This is what the writer in one of
the English magazines predicts will
be the state of affairs when another
century rolls around:
'By that time women will be all
six feet in height, many of them con-
siderably over, while the average
height of a man will be five feet
nothing. Woman will be strong and
lusty; broad and heavy in build, and
will be very proud of her large feet,
thick wrists, powerful limbs and
great muscular development, while
men will have grown vain of their
trimly-corseted waists, nice pink and
white compilations and soft voices.
Love will not have been complete
ly done away with, though sentiment
will have given away to common
sense. Every woman will be required
to marry and support two hus Stands,
one of whom must be useful, do
mesticated creature, capable of tend
ing the children and looking after
the household (while the wife is away
in the city earning good money to
keep the home together), and the
other will be a better looking, and
therefore more ornamental creature
(not general utility man like the
'housekeeper0, whose duties will be
to act as companion or gentleman
help to the mistress and ruler of the
mansion, and keep things up to the
mark generally.
Women a century hence will all
wear 'bloomers,' both literally and
fguratively speaking; any woman
transgressing by appearing in a long
tailed skirt will be condemned to act
as public street scavenger for as long
a period as the local council shall de-
termine. Women will also wear a
mustache, and the faces of men will
gradually become smooth. Cooks
will no longer be at a premium. as
tiny tabloids of food will take the
place of the elaborate dishes of the
past. We shall be able to get through
a siX-course dinner in about two min
utes, tabloid for each course. or. if
we prefer it, we can have, multum in
parvo, tabloid with everything com
pressed and condensed into one har-
monious whole"

FEEDING THE BABY.
should Be SteriIized. and Sea-
soned just a Little bit.

There has been a great change for
the better in the feeding of little
children in the last score of years.
Far more children who are deprived
of their mothers milk thrive on ar
tificial feeding than formerly. This
is chiefly due to the process of sterili-
cation. All milk led to infants or
little children who live largely on
milk should be sterilized. This should
be done to destroy impurities which
the milk may receive from contact
with the air and from vessels which
hold it, as well as to destroy germs
of typhoid fever, tuberculosis or
other diseases which may be received
from the COW. The Importance of
sterilization, therefore, cannot be in
sisted upon too strongly. Apparatus
is sold for this purpose, so that it
may be easily accomplished in any
kitchen with little trouble. Formerly
the milk of one cow was insisted
upon. Some authorities object to this,
preferring a child should be fed from
a mixture of the milk of different
cows.
There is more salt and sugar in hu-
man milk than in cows milk very
little loaf sugar and little salt
should be added to milk given to an
infant. A safe rule for feeding little
infants is to boil a teaspoonful of
powdered barley and little salt in
gill of water for Is minutes. Strain
the mixture through fine strainer
which is kept for the purpose and
sterilized every time it is used. Add
to this mixture as much cows milk
and little sugar. This preparation
can be taken from a bottle. Some
times oatmeal must be substituted
for barley. Use oatmeal in place of
barley if the child's bowels are not as
open as they should be. For a very
young child physicians generally rec
ommend cows milk, weakened only
with water. If it sours on the stom-
ach, as it may, make a very thin,
transparent mucllage of the best gum
arabic and milk, sweetened and fla
vored with little salt, and give the
child little. 1t is simple, harmless
medicine.-N. Y. Weekly

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great dc.ss'
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
