there is little ''cussing" sometimes

The Chicken Mite.

One of the most troublesome pests with
which poultry growers have to deal is
the chicken mite, or chicken tick as 1t is
moro properly called. When flock be-
comes infested with this parasite the egg
production Is reduced and in many cases
the profits seriously curtailed by the pest
Matching hens and young chicks are espe-
cially liable to Its attacks. bulletin upon
this subject by DIR. j. j. Repp, veteri-
marian OF the Iowa experiment station, has
just been issued and may be had free by
addressing request to Professor C. f.
Curtiss, director of the experiment sta
ton, Ames. Ia. 1t contains Information
that is Of actual money value to those who
grow poultry either upon large or a
small scale. The information is based
upon recent experiments in combating the
pest Kerosense emulsion is recommended
and fun directions given for its prepara-
ton and application. The emulsion may
be prepared at home at a cost of about 40
cents per 80 gallons, this amount being
sufficient to spray the ordinary farm hen
house once Altogether the bulletin is
practical and helpful and by following it's
directions owners of infested flocks can
exterminate the pests and place the flock
upon II paying basis.

THE JOYS OF suNRuRN.
A Summer Luxury That Tells Of
Good Time Somewhere.

Summer Luxury. That Tells Of a
Good Time Somewhere.
Baltimore Americana: Sunburn to the
city youth and age as we'll is one Of the
luxuries of the summer. 1t is becoming to
some; some it makes hideous: along with
1t may come freckles galore; there may
be days and nights of discomfort and cold
cream poulticing; but none of these posi-
bilities robs the sunburn of its charm. 1t
serves as an outward and visible sign of
q good time somewhere.
Where did you get it?" addressed to the
wearer of a newly borrowed visage WILL
nine times out of ten, bring out the story
of day, or days, spent away from town.
and there will be a touch of pride in the
tone OF the narrator. He will talk of
tennis, golf. boating, bathing and the like
until you're sorry he began. There are
those who will bewal the fate that
Drowned them. Nine out of ten are UNI
Willingly or maliciously prevaricating.
Sunburn, when all Is said pro and con,
is a distinctive JOY of the summer 1t
speaks for the big outdoor world. 1t is
the seal and sign of avocations which may
not be pursued by most for eight months
of the year, and those avocations fill out
the census of the chief recreative doings
of both sexes and all ages.
Sunburn burns. The first days outing
is apt to cook the back of the neck, the
checks, the nose, the hands and arms and
the hot breath of Erythreos reaches every
exposed square inch. But there are scores
of cooling salves and lotions, with cold
cream and witch hazel high on the list,
to make sadness and signing endure but
for night. Everybody knows what a day
even in a nice, sizzling sunshine means in
this respect: hut safe to say there will
be no fewer outing seekers for this fact.
Sunburn and love have many things in
common: but, at amy rate. both are q
sweet pain; both know no cure but time.

What's the Use2

A revolution is taking place in duelline
in Paris. A number of eminent experts
have proposed special kind of revolver,
which, instead Of being loaded with metal
lie projectiles. is charged with paraune
balls, which are just solid enough not to
penetrate the skin. A number OF trials
have already taken place.
The revolver duel thus becomes like a
sword duel, with all Its imposing cere.
monial. such as stepping up to the line,
loading and the order to fire. The ad.
versary is not to be hit on the left side.
and this gives occasion to very clever
maneuvering.
Those who have made use of the new
method of duelling are quite satisfied at
the superiority of the new method over
the old one. One thing is certain. that
there is no danger of killing your opponent
by mistake

Ministers Would Be Jurors.

Harrisburg Telegram: The Harrisburg
Ministerial association today adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved, First-That a committee be
appointed to ascertain whether the ex-
emption of ministers from jury duty be a
matter of courtesy OF requirement of
law. If 1t be matter of courtesy we
hereby express our willingness to waive
such courtesy and to assume any burden
that may be laid on us in the interest OF
the promotion OF righteousness and NOR
ality in the community.
"Second--That the same committee be
appointed to wait on the proper public
officers to ascertain why recent bills
against violators of law have been ignor-
ed in spite Of the published evidence which
has established such violation of law"

The Summer Bath.

Nothing is more refreshing or invigor-
atins in summer than daily bath. Use
soft, tcpid water and good soap. Ivory
soap is ideal for the bath; it is pure,
fathers quickly and leaves the skin soft
and white. The bath should be taken
carly in the morning or just before re-
firing ut night.

Episcopal Wedding-
rrr TELEGRAPH 10 TIE TRIBUNE. ]


Hempstead N Y, April 3O--Bishop Burgess
of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island this
afternoon denounced the marriage of divorced
persons by the Episcopal service. He said in
part:
regret exceedingly the marriage of W K
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherfurd by clergyman
of the Church of England. L well Know tne
Bishop of London is bitterly opposed TO the
marriage of a divorced person, and no doubt ne
will take steps that will suspend for time the
clergyman who performed the ceremony AT
least the latter will be reprimanded severely
I am firmly opposed 10 the marriage IN the
Episcopal Church of a. divorced person. and IN
my diocese ] would firmly oppose such mar
riage The same conditions exist In all other
dioceses of the United States.
Our eccIesia StiCal laws state that once persons
marry they remain married until death, and 50
II will always be in the Episcopal Church. This
doctrine is so firmly planted in the minds OF the
clergy Of the Episcopal faith in America that
doubt if any will deviate from 1t. ] know or
very few instances in this country Where
divorced people have been married by an Ep1s-
copaI clergyman. Efforts will be made at the
next general convention that meets in Boston
next wear to settle definitely Ill matters pertain
ing 10 the marriage Of divorced people in the
Episcopal Church.
Although the marriage by an Episcopal
Clergyman of Mr. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Ruther-
furd is to be regretted, it will no doubt result IN
bringing before the next general convention the
matter in a more forceful manner

4 NEW CHRIST CHURCH.
The Babcock Memorial Is to Take
That Form.

4 new building for Christ Church. now in West
Thirty-ffth-st is to be erected as memorial to
the late Rev. DR.. Maltbie d. Babcock by the, con-
gregation of the Brick Presbyterian Church' OF
which he was pastor at the time of his death, TWO
wears ago. Last Sunday the Rev Dr. W. n
Richards present pastor of the Brick Presbyterian
Church, announced to his congregation that the
officers of the church believed that 1t was time 10
take UP the project and push 1t.
The plan for a memorial was originated at the
time of DR.. Babcock's death, when several or MS
friends made voluntary contributions for memo
rial. AS DR.. Babcock had expressed the lntenuoh
of starting a movement for a new home ror ChrlsI
Church whose present buildings were considered
inadequate for its many activities, 1t was consio-
cred carrying out Of the project after MS
death would result in memorial peculiarly apPIo-
pirate. Before last Sunday no effort had Deen
de to add to the first voluntary contributions
The outlook for the fund is bright, DR.. Richards
thinks. He said night, however that the plans
were not 2natured and that they had not yet de-
termined the amount desired. -
