According to a Philadelphia news
paper the oldest stove in this country
is at present on exhibition in Minneap-
oils, MINI.
From the description this old stove
is something after the fashion of the
one which we have here in our state
capitol. 1t stands upon legs or end
supports, similar to those of a sewing
machine, only that they are about half
as high and of much heavier casting
The total weight of the stove is 500
pounds. 1t is three feet long, thirty
two inches high and one foot wide,
with a hearth extending in front.
There is no crate in the bottom, the
fire being built directly on tie bottom
Of the stove, the heat passing from
below the oven, back of it and over
the top of the pipe. The outside has
scrolls and designs and crowns in re-
lief, much after the fashion of the
stoves of to-day, and ON both sides
cast with the metal are tle words,

The famous Virginia stove also
stands upon legs, is about seven feet
high and is handsomely ornamented.

II never saw so many mosquitoes
before. They were mad, too. The fact
that they had encountered the bar
seems to have made them furious.
They we're buzzing like nest of dis
turbed hornets. But what surprised
me more than any other thing was the
fact that several dozen had managed
to get through and were actually on
the inside, and had really begun to
chew me. On the outside of the bar
| found perfect swarm. Some Of
them were fastened in the threads of
the bar. They were trying to squeeze
through the little holes of the bar, just
as the others had done. Their long
legs, or their wings, or some part of
the body, mad become tangled and they
were hopelessly tied. Now how did
they know how to get through these
little places by the squeezing process?
How did they know this was the only
possible way to reach the food they
wanted? I tell you the mosquito is
capable of learning a few things,
and he is being educated up to some
of the articles of human kind, and
that's all there is to it."-New Orleans

The love of the beautiful is inherent
IN every person born into civilization.
The height to which it finds express
sion in the individual is governed by
conditions of development. And for
this very reason the general tone Of
the home should be characterized by
a distinct flavor of the artistic. The
influence of refined beauty is universal
in it's bearings; it is irresistible. Half
the world has sung the praises of a
good woman; all the world admires a
beautiful woman.
Surroundings mold the character
and develop the tastes of children.
Their mental caliber is soft and fiex-

their surroundings, or what they see.
