The Ornamental smoIxe.tac1x.


 "On certain of our river steamers it has been decided to do away with the frills and fancy work on the smoke stacks" said a gentleman from Mo bile. These ornaments rust off and fall to the deck, frequently causing serious accidents. Cases have been known where men lost their lives by ornamental flue tops col1apsing, and it Is predicted that eventually these pie turesque but unnecessary adjuncts of the river packet will disappear Per- sonally am sorry to see this innova- tion and the passing away of the fa- miliar jagged ring about the top of the stack which is the first part of the boat to loom up down the river as she rounds the bend. However, this is a small thing to sigh over, for it will not be many years before the boats themselves will be practically relics of the past. Birmingham (A1a.) Age- Herald

 His ReDenfe

'sDo you see the glancing sheen ot wonder silvery pond P inquired the mos quito leader of his faithful followers
 They stared long and earnestly at the object he pointed out
 we do," they hummed.
 When the shadows fall,'' the leader went on, "a girl and a guitar will ap- pear at the margin of the shining wa ters. She will play the guitar, my brothers, but only one note. You know the note. It is that fatal note that the murderous men of science have learned that no mosquito can hear and live. While the maiden plays that note we may not approach the pond. But my soul hungers for revenge against this cruel siren, and I mean to have it. This night I venture to the pond"
 ''No, mol" hummed the distressed fol lowers.
 "Do not seek to dissuade me-" cried the mosquito leader. T must go. but ! will return. Keep silence that you may listen. Let some of you gather the filaments of the fuzzy bush and with them fill my ears. Yes, yes; that's There, I am quite deaf. The note can not harm me. And now for vengeance on the siren.''
 Two hours later he winged his way back to his anxious followers. He flew slowly, because he was heavy with loot.
 "Clear my ears," he huskily cried as he sank upon poplar leaf. They flew to obey.
 "And your revenge, mastery eagerly asked the second in command.
 'My revenge is complete" the hero answered. with hum of triumph. T bit the siren nipe times!' - Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.
Slow to Avoid sunstroke and Hes
 ExhaqstiOn.

How to Avoid Sunstroke and Heat
 ExhaqstAOn.
 The prevention of sunstroke and heat exhaustion requires absolute abstinence from alcoholic beverages, says Dr. Cy- gus Edison in the New York American. WeNmust avoid heated rooms, especial Eys where the atmospheric conditions are bad. This means that we should not go to crowded places indoors. Heat exhaustion or Sunstroke under such conditions may be acquired when the sun is not shining just as easily as during the day in the sun's rays. It is not the. sun that does the harm, but khe heat.
 The commonest cause of sunstroke is, of course, overexertion in times of great heat, and by overexertion we mean overmental exertion as well as ovexmuscular exertion.
 If sunstroke were desirable thing for man to get and I wished to cause an Individual to have a sunstroke mould advise him as follows:
 Fdrst.-Borrow all the trouble you can, so as to fret and exhaust your &A14AAy anu SACh L1y NO oAOWu IL WILL plenty of alcoholic drink. The kind is not essential. Any kind will do.
 Second.-Go to some crowded place of amusement the day before a hot spell of weather is expected and the following day keep on the sunny side of the street and exercise vigorously. Third.-Wear warm, uncomfortable clothing while doing this.
 These directions by Indicating what may cause sunstroke show how one may avoid it by following just the op- posite advice.
 One of the best means of avoiding a eunstroke is to keep the body in re- freshed condition by means of cool bath on arising in the morning and a brisk rubbing with coarse towel aft erward. This procedure refreshes and inyigorates and enables one< to go through day fairly comfortably.

Dealing in Abandoned Farms.

A company in Boston is doing a big business selling abandoned farms. Here lies the solution of the New Eng land problem. Farms that century or less ago easily sustained their own CTS have long since ceased to sprout peas. What to do with them became a leading question which none could sat- isfactorily answer. Now comes along the abandoned farm" genius. He has set out to corner the supply, which he proposes to work off on the rich urban population of the north and down east as sites for country homes. In time these deserted farms will belong to the millionaires, who will convert their barren fields into game reserves and fish ponds. It is stated that in Maine alone over 5000 such farms are for sale.-N. Y. Press.

How to Dry Herbs.

Gather the herbs in the height of the season just before they begin to flower. Be careful to choose fine day. Shake them free from dust and dirt, divide them into small punches, cutting off the roots, and hang them across line in the kitchen so that they can dry in a moderate heat. When perfectly dry put them in paper bags, label them and keep them on the kitchen dresser or any dry place. They will keep good till next year.,
