COCKROACHEs CHARMED AWAY
E8 Vveg ut the Expense, Howovea, OF q
GWe2kSegs 'sPF1m Y0uRg
Man,

A young housewife recently COM
planned to friend that, being com
PEELED to live in an old house, she was
much annoyed with cockroaches, re-
lates the Philadelphia Record. She
said: Il have used all sorts of patent
insect killing things, and have tried
borax, but am quite discouraged"
The friend Remarked: "You would
MT be willing to try a charm, sup
pose?"
II don't believe in them, of course -
replied she, "but I've reached the
point where I am willing to try any
thing"
"Well, them" said the friend, "catch
one roach and put it, together with a
penny, into a small pasteboard box.
Tie it up neatly and throw it upon
the pavement. Whoever picks it up
will get all your reaches"
The young housewife smiled, but
for the joke of the thing tried the
experiment. She inclosed roach and
q penny in a box, according to in
structions, wrapped and tied it at
tractively with pink paper and string,
and contrived to drop it on the pave
ment. A prim young man came along,
glanced covertly around, picked up
the box and STROBE off. That was
three weeks ago, and the young
housewife hasn't set eyes on a roach
since. In the midst of her rejoicing
she compassionates the household of
the prim young man, where, presum-
ably, the pests have betaken them

STRANGE BOATS In PERU.
O1Tao0a Vessels That Are Fashioned
OF Reeds and Rushes fin That
Country.

According to NJ. de Camarasa, Eu-
ropean scientist and traveller, there
are no stranger boats in the world
than those which are used by certain
fishermen in Peru. They are known as
caballitos, which is a Spanish word,
meaning little horses or ponies, and in
appearance they are somewhat similar
to Venetian gondolas, the most nota BILE
feature about them being the extraor-
binary height of their prows. The
fishermen, who squat in them on their
knees, say that it is impossible to sink
them, and that when they are over
turned by the waves, as sometimes
happens, they are easily righted again.
These curious vessels are not hol-
bowed out like ordinary boats, but are
really small RATS. Neither are they
made of common wood, but of the
stout reeds or rushes which grow on
the plant known in Peru as the totora.
They are propelled by means of pad
die, and fishermen fearlessly 20 in
them through the surf and breakers.
In the case of shipwreck these little
boats have also more than once given
timely aid, and their owners are not
afraid to 60 far out to sea if they think
that by doing so they can be of any
service to a vessel in distress. Alto
gether, these little sea horses are very
useful and in some respects are decid-
eddy superior to small rowboats and
canoes. ~
