The Day of Influenza.

To sneeze or not to sneeze? That is
the question. Then we sneeze and 1t
changes to an exclamation. Everyone
is doing it. Headache, bones ache,
coughs, colds and the pestilence Of grip
is upon the face of the land. In
Brooklyn Hills the worthy burgher
sneezes an early curfew from his front
porch and the sound is mistaken for
blasting in the tunnel. And when the
shades of night draw down, he sneezes
across the field to his neighbor; Come
over this evening; we're having little
snack before going to bed. Got some
hot mustard and Quinine, and some
thing in a bottle" Then far into the
night the rich, mellifluous sneeze chorus
rises from that house. This is hard
blow to the warnings of the doctors
who assert that grip is serious mat
ter, and not to be sneezed at.

Marks of tho Catalocuer.

A number of persons who receive
books from the public libraries are
puzzled at the mysterious marks on the
title page. Some books have only one
or two marks, others have a dozen.
Occasionally it is letter Of the alpha
bet with two small figures close to it
Sometimes 1t Is letter UNDERSIGNED
under the name Of the book, or under
the name Of the author, or both. Very
frequently it is an outline In short
hand, which many readers can de-
cipher, but are in entire ignorance as
to its meaning. These are the marks
of the chief cataloguer of the library,
and are intended only as guideposts to
her assistants. They convey informa-
ton as to classification, other books in
the library on the same subject, num-
ber Of times the book is called for, and
various items that are useful when the
time comes to make out an annual re-
port. Most chief cataloguers are wom-
en-, and nearly every one has system
of her own. Cataloguing and indexing
have grown to be business in them
selves, just rs much as stenography
and typewriting. 1t is mostly in the
hands Of women. and the pay is about
the same. New York Times,

More About Wireless, Telephony.

The principles at the base Of wire
less telephoning are well known. 1t
is sufficient to recall that If the yaria-
tions of current produced by a tele-
phonic transmitter are suitably trans
mitted to a direct current feeding
an are lamp the words pro-
nounced into the transmitter
are heard as II they originated
in the arc. This phenomenon is due
to changes in the volume of the arc
consequent upon changes of tempera-
ture caused by the variations of the
density of the current The changes
of temperature of the arc also cause
changes in the emission of light from
it, and these latter changes are utilized
in the transmission Of wireless tele-
phonic messages. The fluctuations in
the emission Of the light are very rapid
and cannot be seen by the eye. Mr..
Ruhmer has lately sent such messages
over distance Of more than four miles
by day and by night. Qn the day
time the appartus must be screened
from the direct rays OF the sun, nat
urally). To direct the beam Mr. Ruh-
mer uses a 12-inch parabolic mirror.
The arc lamp employed requires to
amperes of current for a distance of 1
to kilometres, to 10 amperes for 3
to 4 kilometres, IL to 16 amperes for
to z kilometres. The receiver con-
sists of a psrabolic mirror like the
transmitter, in whose optical axis there
is cylindrical selenlum element in
series with two telephones and bat
terry. The selenium varies in resist
ance under the action of the varying
light. The luminous beam from the
transmitter determines these varia-
tions Of resistance corresponding to the
microphonic currents of the transmit
ter Similar variations are produced
in the receiver and the spoken sounds
are thus reproduced. The process
here described was tried by DR.. Graham
Bell in Washington, who was not sue
cessful over such long distance.

SPRAYING APPLE TREES.

When to spray apple trees depends
upon the purposes desired. Use Bor-
deaux mixture when the buds are
swelling, and If canker worms are
abundant spray also when the blossoms
are about to open. After the blossoms
fall spray again with Bordeaux mix
ture, also Paris green. repeating both
applications q week or ten days later.
In about ten days or two weeks an
other application may be made of Bor-
deauy mixture. These remedies or
preventives are for scabs, bud moth,
codling moth, tent caterpillar, curculio
and canker worm.

A PLUCKY POLICEMAN.

Fifteen years ago there was a police
man in New York named Sheridan.
He had side partner as e1traordinar-
lily big as he was little.
The big man one day lnterfered with
the doings Of q notorious East Side
gang known as Short Tails, and he
was murdered in broad daylight on
his post for his pains. When the cap
tain of the precinct heard Of the MUIR
der he declared that the Short Tails
would be broken up and imprisoned.
So he set about forming q platoon Of
police to take into the haunts of the
gang. AS he was about this duty the
murdered mans chum, little Sheridan
strolled in.
"They murdered him, did theyY' he
yelled. And they've got bricks piled
on the roofs OF the tenements to throw
at us when We march into their street,

street corner, he walked up to them,
knocked down every one Of them,
grabbed two of the more notorious by
their coat collars and, turning his back
on the crowd, marched them toward
the station house.
On the way there another Short Tall
made disparaging remark about the
murdered policeman. Quick as flash
little Sheridan ordered his two prison
ers to halt, knocked the third Short
Tail down, dragged him over to where
the other two were meekly standing,
stood the third prisoner in line and
without further ado, drove them into
the station house.
Sheridan reached there Just as the
platoon was issued forth. He quickly
handed his prisoners over to the door,

GROWING BLACKBERRIEs.

It Is now contended that 1t is mis-
take to cut blackberry canes back too
low, as they will give better crops If
allowed more cane. They should be
given better cultivation than is usually
bestowed. One point to observe is that
II the old canes have not been cut out
and burned there will be damage from
borers. Blackberries will thrive ON all
kinds of soil, but to secure good crops
fertilizer should be supplied early in
tho spring and the canes thined out In
the rows where they are too close
together.

STORING FRUIT.

In storing fruit or vegetables in the
cellar, the better plan is to have boxes
or bins, and arrange them SO that they
will be raised two or three inches
above the bottom and the same dis
tance from the wall. This gives cold
air space all around them, and will aid
materially in keeping them at a more
even temperature, while at the same
time the risk of injury by frost is con-
siderably lessened.

a MAN OF GRIT,

A man in southern Illinois had COM
mitted cold-blooded murder. He
was member Of a secret society Of
criminals and had been selected to
put out of the way traitor to the
organization.
He found his victim securing the
country as member of a sheriff S
posse for an escaped criminal. The
man asked his victim if he were so
and-so, received an affirmative answer,
then and there shot him dead, fought
his way through the posse and fed.
Two days later he was discovered
hiding in q house in a neighboring
small town. He was bored by a dozen
bullets, but he lived and was sentenced
to be hanged.
Then political influence began work
Ing to save him from the gallows. A
man now prominent in New York City
was assigned to the task of trying to
prevent his execution.
His attempts resulted In failure, and
the day before the date set for the
execution he called on the murderer
and Informed him that nothing more
could be done.
"All right" said the man, "but they'll
hang the wrong fellow tomorrow"
To the politicians question whether
he could do anything for him, the
prisoner answered, mo"
"But what about a priest" asked
the politician.
NO" said the condemned man, add
Ing a moment later: "But there's q
Methodist preacher In town who's been
kind to me. I'd like to tell him good
by"
Half an hour before the time set for
the hanging the Sheriff went to the
murderer's cell. He had been a model
prisoner and the Sheriff wanted to
show his appreciation in some way, SO
he asked:
"Well, Jim, is there anything I can
do for you?"
"I'll thank you for a good cigar"
was the reply.
When the procession to the gal
lows started the prisoner was calmly
smoking cigar. Arrived under the
moose the Sheriff spoke:
''I'm sorry to interrupt you, Jim, but
fits time to quit smoking"
II beg your pardon for delaying you.

PRUNING TREES.

In pruning trees all stems half an
inch or more In diameter should be
covered with some waterproof sub
stance, like grating wax or shellac,
of the consistency Of cream. The bark
and outer wood will thus be preserved,
and the wound will In season or so
be covered with new bark. If this
precaution be not taken the end Of the

NV sea Nat Edwards saw some
thing that made him lose his
attitude of Indifference and rush wild
ly into the town, shouting In q voice
10 which years of seafarine life had
given the capacity OF a foghorn.
He made use Of only three words
These he shouted again and again, and
their nature was enough to cause
great commotion. He hadn't seen a
hostile German fleet. OF far more i'm
portance to Amagansett was the mes
sage Nat bore. His three words were:
'SThere she blowsw
The hullaballoo was great. The Flag
was run up on the Liberty pole; bells
We're rung until it seemed as if a ma
honal convention OF town criers had
been called, and even the housewives
ran into the street beating dishpans.
Such a call to arms always stirs the

Nat.
In twenty minutes every man, wom-
an and child in town-save bedridden
folk and infants in cradles was down
at the beach looking out to where the
whale was spouting. The Amagan-
sett fishermen always have boats
ready for such an emergency, and in
few minutes three of these were
manned, those who could not get
aboard growing their disappointment
as the luckier ones pulled away.
In the first boat to start were Cap

poon and Josh the lance. 1t was

were depressed accordingly. A few
minutes later, however, the whale
arose, a point to the leeward of Cap
sain Gabe's boat and almost within
striking distance.
Jump her, boys"' shouted Captain
Josh.
The crew yanked at the oars with
increased energy 1t seemed as if the
whale didn't have ghost OF show,
but Captain Josh's son Everett got into
the game with unfortunate results. He
was in another boat He and his crew
Were young and didn't know much
about whale nature So they shouted
as they rowed and that was enough
fer the whale. He sounded and re-
NAMED below for ten minutes When
Y Ee came up he was n quarter of q
mile away. Then he rushed off at high
speed.
1t was plain that all possibility of
capture was ended, but the Edwardses
hated to give up, and they rowed about
for half the day. When they finally
went ashore not a bell was rung.
"And he was 110 feet long" groaned
Nat.
A sharp lookout will be maintained
along the beach tomorrow morning, in
the hope that the whale will be kind
enough to come back and be killed. On
the strength of Mats statement about
the whales length it Is figured out
that the capture would mean about
$4,000 profit. and the Amagansetters
want that money.
