ward. Its softness and the absence of
friction thus aid the moles to pass
through their burrows either backward
or forward. The regulation price for
moleskins has for years been twopence
each. 1t is the dressing and sewing
which cost money, and as English fur
riers have taken a hint from the Chi
nese work sent over by Ii Hung Chang,
and cut the skins to a diamond shape,
the makeup is of skins covering about
twelve square inches. The Injury
caused by moles to farmers does not
amount to much. except on meadow
land if they are too numerous. Grass
grows in hard-pressed soil. weeds in
loose soil. AS many moles will soon
loosen all the surface soil on an acre,
weeds grow there and grass decreases.
The good which moles do by draining
land is due not to their surface opera
tions, but to their deep burrows. These
tunnels are the most permanent OF an
imal highways in this country. They
have a complete system of what may
be called trunk lines" which proba-
bly, are connected up over a whole
parish where there is enough meadow
land to make it worth while for the
moleS to work it.

CRAZED BY WINTER BUG.
Michigan Farmer Maniac-PrOf.
Olinberg Bitten.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Mendon, Mich. March 27.-Oscar
Newasaky, a young Polish farmer meas
here, became a maniac as the result
of bite by winter bug. The day
after he was bitten his body began to
swell and physicians have been unable
to give him relief.
Prof De Vos Olinberg. the entomolo-
gist of Wheeling, w. Va, came here
ut the request of the National Museum
at Washington to procure specimens
of the bug, which scientists supposed
had become extinct, in the North at
any rate.
He found a nest of the insects in a
bog near Newasaky's home and while
trying to capture them was bitten on
the chin. He staggered to a neighbor-
ing farmhouse and within an hour was
in a semi-conscious condition.
Olinberg does not show the symp-
toms of insanity that appeared in
Newasaky's case and the physicians
are hopeful of his recovery.

THE THOUGHTFUL BARBER.
Had Sign Painted backward to BE
Read in His Mirrors.

Read in His Mirrors.
From the New York Press.
A downtown barber has adopted an
ingenious method of advertising.
AS every one who has been in a
barber shop knows, the man who is
being shaved sits facing row of mir
rors. 1t is only during the brief mo-
mentS when a customer enters and
when he struggles with his coat before
leaving that he catches a glimpse of
the other three walls of the place
Therefore, to have an advertising card
on any of these is useless. The one
side of the shop where a customer
would have ample time to peruse litera-
ture is taken up by the mirrors. In
these, from the face of the clock to
the silvered cigar advertisements UNI
der the coat racks, everything appears
backward and well-nigh unreadable.-In
this principle lay the trick with which
the thoughtful barber catches his Gus
toners. He had a manicure sign paint
ed backward-from right to left.
When hung on the wall opposite the
mirrors the reflection of this sign, of
course, reads forward and from left
to right, with the result that it stands
out among every other literary ref1ec-
ton in the mirror like a club in a
mob
Before I put up that sign 1 had
only one manicurist, and she was idle
half the time" said the proprietor.
Ever since 1 hit on that idea, how
ever that branch of the business has
increased steadily, until now I am keep
ing two experts busy. You see, it Is
such a novel sort of thing that all who
see it cannot help but notice it and to
think about it and to be impressed by
the announcement. Great scheme, but
mirrors are something like 1000 years
old, and it's a wonder no one ever
stumbled over the idea before"

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Psine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make It the Home Medicine
For che Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, ON homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, II we expect
them 10 ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodess cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings OF limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds Of disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vgor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine
Celery Compound. In many severe and com
plicated cases, Paines Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should BE, Try the health
giving virtues of Pane's Celery Compound.
1t makes and keeps the children well.
