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 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
stills the sweet honey of optimism in
to other lives. She is Gods own ono
dyne which soothes with peace ana
rest the aching brow of the world

Animals In Fable.

:. Every enc will recall the Esopic
story of the lion and the mouse: how
the life of the mighty monarch wGs
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 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 not stop to
consider whether a lion understands
the mouse language, or whether a
mouse is given to gratitude. They
are merely convenient forms, es-
sentially 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 a
nobler instance of the introduction Of
animals to teach ethical truth than IS
to be found in the parable Of the lost
sheep.

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 q. 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 ore or two of those
who make music. If you know two ar
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,
Qr 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 enjoy their
stories to meet each from time 10
time. Every one loves an apprecia-
tive listener, especially one who is
free from the uneasy spur OF competi.

MEDITERRANEAN, MOTH.
Minnesota EntomoIogist Tells How to
Prevent Spread of Pest.


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 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 1t. 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 II he has to do
taken into the mill until disinfected.
Another cause of the spread Of the
moth is secondhand mill machinery.
AS the millefs increase their business
they replace their old machinery with
new, and in this way send out moths.
This insect is Of domestic hohit and
flies little. They are not like other
moths, which tlutter about a fame. OF
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
wherever they go they leave a string
of web. 1t 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 1t in alright
DlHS, 80 IHty can use Lue DlSulpDiut VI
carbon. 1t is the worst insect that
ever infested home. 1t gets in the
crackers. bread and other things made
of -four.
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 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 "Kuehnicila 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 it was found on
the Pacific coast, and in 1894 In
North Carolina, New York and Penn.

Say Elkhorn Will Extend.

There seems to be possibility
that Boyd county, Nebraska, be-
tween the Niobrara and Missouri
rivers, will be tapped by rail-
way which will bring the live
stock of the district to this city,
but it is not likely to be the At
kinson & Niobrara River railway.
It is reported from Lynch on un-
questioned authority that the
Elkhorn road intends to extend
it's Yerdigris branch as far as
Gross, newly plated town.
The promoters Of the Atkinson
& Niobrara, s A Harris and O A
Perry, who have been in Sioux
City repeatedly to finance their
project planned the construction
of narrow gauge line from At

of the Elkhorn, northeast 10 the
