Courage a Common Virtue.

Of all the virtues says Richard Hard
ing Davis in the February Everybody's
Magazine, "Oourago is the least parsi-
cular as to whero it takes up it's abode.
There is really nothing 80 perplexing
and disappointing to the hero-worship-
per as to find that the same virtue
which he admires in his chosen hero
is shared by others who, but for that
one quality, are his interiors in every
way, in mind, in morals, in birth, and
in body. Indeed, one is inclined to
believe it to be the commonest Of all
the virtues. 1t is the rarest thing in
tho world to hear Of regiment show
ing the white feather, and yet regi-
ment is only collection of human be-
ings, aud human beings of by no means
the highest mental or moral type. In
deed, after you have observed the way
the private soldier conducts himself
out of Office hours, you are inclined to
place courage lower. than any Of the
virtues, even to deny that it is vir-
tue at all, and to class it as an instinct;
for even the black-sheep in regiment

assault women, will fight magnificent

Remedy for Mosquitoes.

Now that the mosquito lie declared
by scientists .u be not only pest, but
conveyer Of disease, including malar-
ial and yellow fevers, it will be inter
esting to know that the South Ameri-
cans have found simple, inexpensive
and effeotusl remedy FOR this nuisance.
Consul PlumaoheT writes the State
department from Maraoaibo as fol-
lows:
"a simple remedy against moiqui-
toes has been employed in several
places in South America and is equal
ly we'll adapted to the temperate zone.
IL consists in planting tho castor.oil
plant (Ricinus community, or palma
christi, around the house and prem.
:ses.
'In cold and temperate climates
the castor.oil plant grows to height
Of four or five feet; in these countries,
it becomes tall tree and is perennial.
It seems that the smell Of the plant is
disagreeable to the mosquitoes and
other insects, and it is an acknowledg-
ed feet that where these plants grow
few mosquitoes will be found.
"My personal experience bears this
out. My residence is surrounded by
plantain and banana trees, and have
been much troubled in the past by the
grvat number of mosquitoes whic b
gathered between the leaves. Follow
ing the example Of old settlers in the
country, / planted the castor seeds,
which grew up in profusion, and there
are now no mosquitoes to be found
among the plautain and banana trees.
although I keep the ground we'll irri-
gated. By keeping branches and the
seeds Of the plaut in rooms the mos
quitoes are driven away from the lat
ter.
'sThere are several varieties Of the
castor-oil plant. In this country there
are two-one with brown nuts and the
other white in color, with kernel
tasting like the fresh almond"
This is better than the coal oil rem
edy, which is about as bad as the mos
ouitoes.

Kept the Bonnet Company.

The story Of an elderly couple who
lived in a Massachusetts town nearly
80 years ago, is told by some of the
oldest inhabitants with much uuc-
tion.
The lady had been bereft Of one
helpmeet, and her second husband had
twice been left widower before the
pair were united in the bonds of
matrimony. They were both Of that
temperament which causes its posses
sor to be characterized as 'sset."
On the wedding day the bride found
in the back pantry, on conspicuous
nail, sunbonnet, which had belonged
&c hsr immediate predecessor. She
removed it to oblivion in closet.
Her newly welded husband made no
comment, but replaced tho sunbonnet
on it's accustomed nail.
During the next few days the calico
headgear vibrated between the closet
and the nail. Then there came day
when the bride approached her hus-
band with man s hat in her hand as
he was in the act of re-instatipg the
sur bonnet.
''If you have that sunbonnet
there, = she said firmly Il shall hang
my first husbands hat on the next
nail.n
She looked at the bridegroom and
met the counterpart Of ner own express
sion. She hung the hat on the desig-
mated nail, and although the two peo-
pie lived to be very old, neither the
hat nor the snnbonnett ever moved
again till the house came into the
hands Of a new Youths Com
panion.

Diplomacy Alone VIII Now be Used
to Collect Them.
Washington. March 27.-Secretary
Long has cabled an order to Admiral
Rodgers, on board the cruiser New
York at Tangier, to proceed at once
with that vessel to Manila.
This Is an abandonment Of the plan
to have the New York convey United
States Consul General Gummere from
Tangier to Mazagan in the attempt
to collect American claims.
1t Is the purpose of the state depart
ment to endeavor to adjust these
claims and other outstanding issues
against Morocco without any show Of
force and in the ordinary practice of
diplomacy.
1t is said that the United States con-
sui general, who had conceived that
obstacles were purposely placed in the
way of his access to the court, has re-
ceived assurances that the actual rea-
son for the departure of the court from
Morocco was to pay long due visit to
another section of the country. 1t also
was promised that the court would re-
turn within month or six weeks and
would receive Mr.. Gummere. probably
even at Mazagan, thus obviating the
necessity on his part for an overland
journey to the capital.
In this view of the case, and the
New York being badly needed in the
east to take the place of the Newark
as a flagship, it was decided to let the
vessel proceed at once on her voyage.
Mr.. Gummore probably will now en-
ter into fresh communication with the
Moorish government to secure another
appointment for a meeting

ment is said to have the proposition
