The lad suffers many hardships. but in the end wins a fortune and independence.

 Blanche Walsh has scored a triumph in New York with the dramadzation of Tolstoy's Resurrection" The critics are unit in declaring that her power as an actress has been advanced greatly by her interpretation of the gloomy Rus sian woman, Katusha Meslova It is good to know that Mss Walsh has finally found something to which she Is suited.

Bzperlnent Win Birds IN
California

Now Il Il the birds that are to help
In the destruction Of the Goblin moth
that little insect that Is doing so
much harm to the apple orchards Of
California. Down at Watsonville,
where the big orchards are, the or
astrological department of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
under the supervision Of DR.. E. L.
Beele, is working in conjunction with
Prof. C. W. Woodwork and Warren
Smith, Of the University Of California,
to exterminate the moth, and just now
they are installing a lot of bird cages
as part of the work, says a Berkeley
report.
These cages, Of which there are to
be u, will be large enough to envelop
q fruit tree. Into them Il is purposed
70 put 30 varieties of California birds,
including canaries, bluejays and lin
nets, and then to watch them closely to
discover upon what they feast most.
At certain times the birds viii be
killed and their stomachs exhaustively
serutinized by the ornithologists. In
this way Il can be determined ac-
curately what the proportion Of fruit
the birds eat is to the insects they con-
sumo. And then from this e viii be
determined what birds are most de-
structive TO the Goblin moth and the
other destroyers Of plant life.
II the experimentsrs are lucky
enough to find a bird that makes the
Goblin moth its prey, that species viii
be propagated in large numbers and
distributed over the state. II is
thought they can be kept in the or
chards by attractive bats.

AN ANCIENT AlER1cAN VASE

Of that mysterious civilization which
hourished a thousand years ago in
Mexico.
The jar Is thought TO have been a
funeral or votive offering, says the
New York Herald, which was one Of
the essential mOrtuary rites of the
people of that time. It's age cannot
be accurately stated, but Il probably
reaches back for a thousand years or
more. Il was found By Carl Lum-
holtz during one Of his exploring ex-
petitions. It came to light while Dig
ging in q private garden in the City
Of Topic, which had evidently been
in-remote times the site Of some TEN
pie or wealthy burial place.
Two. slZeletons were unearthed.
Around the neck Of one were found
26 balls Of solid gold, also q large
breastplate ornament Of gold.

How 1--WE Chieago Sisters vFhO Hnd
toEarn Fheir Own Livfng Hade
BOtk Endh Meet.

Among the lucrative and very Pri-
vate sources Of income discovered by
breadwinning women none has proved
more interesting and profitable than
that Of dainty laundry work. Two
women, sisters, who occupied a tiny
apartment and found themselves aud
denly obliged TO earn then own sup
port, discovered to their idismay that
their only remarkable talent was a
profound knowledge OF the high art of
clear starching, lace cleaning and fine
ironing. Even tins accomplishment
didn't look exactly valuable until a
well-to-do friend volunteered to send
them all the exceedingly fine laundry
work that their hands could do and
their kitchen could accommodate. The
sisters agreed to make the experiment,
and the first week from her own ward
robe and that of few interested init
mates the helpful friend sent them five
dozen, very fine handkerchiefs, q
dozen or two sets Of sheer lawn and
lace cuffs and collar bands, and set
of rarely beautiful doflies. The laun-
dry ladies took the stock under con-
sideration, boiled, blued, starched and
ironed the articles, and were sur
prised at the profits Of the weeks
work.
At the end Of three months their
fame had spread far and hatteringly
in aristocratic circles. Not only were
they overtaxed with orders, but they
were able 70 raise then prices and en-
ploy a couple of assistants to do the
heavy labor and a boy with a push
cart to gather up and deliver the or
ders. With handkerehiefs. lace collars,
cuffs, doihes and small pieces Of extra
/ fine underwear they also admitted
babies clothes until now their very
exclusive little establishment rs
known best as the Babies Laundry.
No expert French or Swiss cleaners
can starch or iron caps and bibs, pet
ticOats and fine white dresses, as do
these two American sPinsters, WHO are
now busy training a couple Of good
country girls to follow in their foot
steps and devote artistic thought and
care to the get-uP Of the dainty gar
ments.
These genuine wash ladies have now
been praeticing their new-found pro-
fession for full year. They have dis
covered that it not only sufhces 10
support them in comfort, but at pres
ent tempts them to expand their very
modest plant into larger quarters,
where they will be able TO reap even
tually the really ample profits that are
waiting them in this purely feminine
enterprise.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

sERVANT eTRL PRoBLElI.
q u y subject m vhieh the Houss-
wives 81 Every Civni-ea cous-
try Are Deeply Interested.

The servant girl question, while
settled" time and time again upon
paPer, Is still a very live issue among
those who are most vitality interested
the housewives Of the country. In
America Il is said that the lack Of
good help at reasonable wages is the
cause for so many people living in fats
and hotels, and there is no immediate
prosPect-of a change in this direction,
IS good domestic servants are becom-
ing more and more difficult to obtain.
In view Of this fact, IL Is interesting to
look at the question as il is handled in
other lands. Great Britain claims TO
be the best country in the world for
good servants, from both points Of
view. Aleading English journal states
that "England's greatest industry is
domestic service"
The statement sounds untrue, and
yet the returns Of the board Of trade
vouch for 100000 female domestic
servants m England and Wales, az
against 100000 men engaged in min
ing, while farming lags far behind and
the rest Of the trades are nowhere.
And there is no fuss. All the scrub
bing Of floors, cooking Of meals and
making of beds are done without any
Of the banners, professions, oratory,
strikes or lockouts Of other employ
ments.
The servant problem" vexes the
soul Of many an English housewife,
but TO learn the value Of the British
domestic one must go abroad. In the

who Lived Two and = Half
Centuries Ago.

In rummaging among old papers
a Lynn gentleman has discovered the
complete pattern of the American
seythe, which was invented 25k CEN
turtles ago by Joseph Jeneks, an iron
worker Of Saugus, Mass. The inven-
ton Of the scythe, says the Boston
Record, is referred TO in Lewis and
NeWhall's History of Lynn"
This scythe took the place Of the
English "bushwhacker" scythe, made
Of a piece Of thin steel about IS inches
long and three inches wide. JenekS
more than doubled the length of the
seythe, reduced its width to IA inches
and stiffened it by Welding a square
bar on the back.
The patent was, by enactment Of the
Massachusetts general court, IS fol-
lows:
