Plant Enemy of Mosquito.

PARIS, Aug. 22.-The discovery that
plant called ocimun viride, or green
basil, is destructive to mosquitoes has
caused much discussion among scient-
lists, but till now no one was aware
that the sweet basil plant, common in
the south of France Spain and Italy,
is equally destructive
Charles Raymond, the dramatic au-
thor, however, writes that during a
visit to Venice he obtained complete
protection by putting pots containing
the plant along the window sill, as not
one mosquito passed through.

IN AUTOPSY PERFORMED


Little by little the mystery which
has surrounded the death of Josh
Reagor at Ennis yesterday morning
IL being cleared away, and the off,
GERS are more hopeful today that
the parties responsible for the crime
will soon be landed behind the bars.
Last night an autopsy was per-
formed by Ennis physici ans to de-
termIne more fully the cause of
young Reagor's death. This opera
ton revealed the fact that he bad
been killed by a heavy blow inflicted
on the back of the head. A slight con-
fusion was found on the skin at the
base Of the brain and closer exam.
ination disclosed fracture about
three inches long in the back part
of the skull.
This autopsy was decided upon
for the reason that when the body
was dressed for burial the only sem
blance Of a bruise or scratch found
was a slight skin cut on the face.
Three or four cuts were found on
the shoulder OF has oyereoat and
one finger of his glove. The fact
that the body was not bruised led
some to suggest the theory that the
deceased had been poisoned. After
theory upon theory had been dis
cussed an autopsy was agreed upon
as the best method for determining
the direct cause OF death When
the above disclosures were made by
the physicians no further examina,
ton Of the body was m ade as this
was regarded as conclusive proof
that death did not ensue from poi
son. Now that this matter has been
settled the next step to be taken is
to locate the parties who committed
The crime. This part of the mys-
terry may not be so easily solved,
but the officers are at work on "A
.elew which they believe will ulli-
matcly lead 10 an arrest.

Character Building.

Character is the wool of honor from
which Il coat of mail can be woven that
the SwifteSt arrow of shame or the
keenest knife of diSrepute cannot
pierce. Every thought that enters our
mind, every act we do and every word
we utter adds link to the golden
chain of character. The strength of
steam engine can be estimated to with
in an ounce of its limit but it is i'm
possible to estimate the force OF no.
BILE character. The hardest hearts are
softened and the most repulsive dispO-
sitions become fascinating. Our fail
ures and our successes help to form a
reputation that may be destroyed by
an external fo"cc, but the destruction
OF character can only be effected by
some internal force.-Our Boys Maya
zine.

We are so constituted that what is
occurring at the moment interests us
often out of all proportion to its i'm
portance. For example, we are thrown
off our balance by the merest trifies
perhaps which occur today, but which
in q weeks time may have no signifi-
canoe whatever. Obstacles which seem
like mountains when we meet them
dwindle away to molehills when we
get away from them.
Even what seems tragedy at the mo-
ment in the future may be the most
innocent comedy.
Most of us are so constituted that we
will make almost any sacrifice for pres
ent peace. 1t would seem easier to have
an arm or leg amputated two years
hence than to lose a finger today! 1t is
human nature to shrink from pain, and
we purchase release at almost any cost.
If we could only train the mind to look
at today's trouble and annoyance from
the standpoint of the future, it would
be much easier to bear.-Success.

THE JOKE AS A POWER,
It Is Rapidly Becoming MiGhtier
Than the Pen.

Men VINO fear nothing else shrink
from n joke upon themselves. Soldiers
who do not finch before opposing guns
dread to be made ridiculous. Woe to
the national hero who makes one tr-
fling mistake which may subject him
to clever caricature! His meritOriOus
career is hcnceforth Swallowed by one
tip the scales of justice, snatch the vic
tors prize from his extended palm and
rob the orator of choicest laurels A
brilliant satire will mar the fortunes
Of the greatest statesman. Il laugh will
turn the tide of a political convention.
Indeed the joke is fast becoming
mightier than the pen. The orator has
learned its value, and even the clergy
man resorts to it when he desires to
stir the tagging interest of his flock
1t furnishes sufficient excuse for the
tmpertinence of children, and in its
name the daily papers deride the high

What is the meaning of its steady
growth in power and what results may
we predict from it's humorous tyranny +?
