Literary of Towson, writes: "Can you
give me the name of the author of
"Asleep at the Switch? Also publish
the poem, if it is convenient"
"Asleep at the Switch is variously
ascribed to Paul Leicester Ford, James
Gordon Coogler and Henry James. 1t
is too long for reproduction in this col
umn, but the last stanza, which is per-
haps the strongest of them all, will give
a general idea as to the plans and speci-
fications of the work:
"Ah, yes. It was thus we found her,
With her hair In Psyche hitch
And the brushes and combs around her,
Alasi Asleep at the SWITCH"

ANSWERS FOR THE ANXIOUS.
DOUBTS AND DIFFICULTIES PROMPTLY
SOLVED FOR OUR MANY READERS.

Alicia Megoon of Waverley asks:
GLOW do you proceed to kill mosquitoes
with coal oilP''
First get an oil well-one about 1000
feet deep is best for this purpose. Then
catch your mosquito and tie 10-pound
weight to it's left hind leg. Lower 1t
quickly into the oil well and fill the
hole with crushed stone, topping off
with 10 feet of asphalt. This process is
absolutely effectual.
Housewife of Gainesville, requests:
kindly give a recipe for good hot
weather DISH"
One of the daintiest ideas for a
luncheon, or table de hote, or for an
a la carte euchre fest, is fried ice. To
prepare it, ask your iceman to bring you
a tender cut of ice from which the price
mark has been removed. Soak the ice
in salt water over night and then dust it
lightly with pepper. Roll it in clean
flannel and lay on its left side in skillet
containing melted butter. Permit it to
brown on one side, then stand it on edge
and haste. Arrange it on dish garnish-
ed with palmleaf fans and serve quickly.

French company appears at the same theatre in

but every member Of the company knew how TO
render NJ. Rostand's lines; and the beauty Of

Phillips's "Herod" was played. Moreover. the
art of acting had been mastered in detail
Every one on the stage knew how TO stand and

an aid 10 the expression of thought and feeling:
and there was fine play Of light and shading

that what is needed more than anything else is
a suitably equipped school for the training Of

French company like the one now under Mr.
Maurice Grau's management appears in a Lon

work become apparent by contrast. Every actor

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l have read with great interest and appro-
baton the various articles which have appeared
from time TO time in your columns regarding
trade With the South American States. Perhaps
the fact that have had occasion 10 become prac-
tioally familiar with the subject during the last
ten years. may give weight to my opinion.
Your editorial OF to-day. The Way to Sell
Things" IS forcible presentation OF the matter.
and the reasons which You allege in explanation of
the poor showing Of the United States in this line
Of business correct. think. however that you
omit what is perhaps the principal one. namely.
that our merchants insist upon cash settlements
in their dealings with their Spanish speaking
toners. II is impossible TO do business this
basis in South America. and II is here that Euro
peans have their greatest advantage US.
II must not be inferred from this statement that
the Europeans sell their goods indiscriminately
long credits II IS just here that the science of
mercantile transactions comes in Commercial skill
Is not merely shipping goods To a market; in its
highest development IL implies thorough knoWl-
edge Of the worlds markets and finances. The
European trader l. educated in this school. and
understands thoroughly the business conditions OF
the country he l. dealing with. our merchants
only successfully compete with them when they
have become equally proficient IN the grand tactics
