moon. Instead of these rosy castles,
always inhabited by two lovers walk
ing hand in hand, the bitter truth
stood forth in contrast-an invalid
wife who could not walk with him and
who embittered the home atmosphere
by her complaining. But she was not
to blame, he told himself. 1t was she
who suffered most and he had no right
TO feel resentful. After all she should
not deprive him of the love and affec-
ton and companionship of his people.
That was surely his right to enjoy.
So Bette came, fresh from Paris,
where she had spent three years study
ing art, and full of bright ideas and
interesting experiences. For a few
days she even enlivened the invalid
with her breezy ways.
Bette sized the situation in trice
and her heart ached for her big
hearted brother who went his lonely
way and would not hear word of
criticism for the invalid wife. He was
all sympathy and helpfulness-but

AUTOMATIC TOMCAT,
unique Invention of London Genius
Clears the British Metropolis
of FeIines,

Probably nowhere is a peace-loving
community more annoyed O. nights by
philandering cats on every roof and
back wall than is the population of
London. Just now, for the first time.
a genius has risen with what apnears
to be successful remedy for the evil
1t consists of nothing less than the in
vention of fearsome automaton tom
cat made up of a tin frame and COW
cred with a fur coat.
Tom" is as black as the darkest
night, with stiff black tail standing
up defiantly in the air, and a ghostly
look in its sightless eyes. This bane-
full glare is produced by a four-volt
electric battery slowed away in that
portion of Toms anatomy generally
occupied by the digestive organs.
The general principle of construc-
ton, according to the British inventor.
is based upon powerful clockwork. re-
leased by lever when the tail of the
animal is moved. The clock works a
pair OF bellows, with two loud screech-
ing reeds, at the same time forming
contact to light the lamps in the eyes
and forcing outwards a dozen long
needle points, which come up through
the skin of the back The tail also
acts as a trigger and releases a ham
mer formed of the lower Jaw of the
cat, which explodes two percussion
caps in the mouth.
One night recently an experiment
was made. The clockwork was wound
up and the beast placed in the back
garden. In due course of time a fero-
cious tom cat, with chips off its ears
walked up to the stranger to give bat
tie, while dozen of his lady friends
sat around to see the fun.
Without the slightest provocation he
flew at the automatic cat, removed a
lump of loose hair from his back. and
broke his tail in half That ended the
first round, but it was only the signal
for the tin tom cat to get into
action.
The tail exploded the percussion cans
in that cats mouth with a sound re-
sembling that of a small cannon, the
electric eyes blazed out like search
lights, while heart-rending shrieks
rent the air from the bellows inside,
and the needle points got their bust
ness ends into the tom cat
Within a few seconds the garden
was clear and pale-faced pussies were
tearing off through the quiet streets in
than month before they ventured to
peep over the wall to see if the BLACK
terror" was still in possession of the
place.

that is certainly pleasing to the eye
in its architectural composition, and
the practicability of its construction
and the usefulness of it's features
must appeal strongly to those who
wish to have their home not only of
a pleasing exterior, but also wish to
obtain this end without any very
great additional expense. The cottage
is, Of course, designed for a small fam
lily. Its exterior appearance is in
keeping with the surroundings and
will look well in any good situation
Its size is 80 26 feet The story
is ten feet in height. The foundation
is of brick, and cellar is provided
under a portion of the building si8
and one-half feet deep. The outside
walls are sided and the roof is
shingled. The interior is trimmed
with natural finished cypress and
pine. A nice china closet from floor
to ceiling is located between the din.
ing room and the kitchen, and has
doors opening on both sides. There
is a bathroom near the kitchen. to
be fitted UP as desired The pantry is
well arranged for convenience. Tho
cost of this cottage in most localities
would be from $500 to $500.

To Have Colonial Gardens.

An old-fashioned garden is generally
a most attractive one; the very words
have a fascination, moving the fancy to
conjure up most interesting personages
and scenes. Just at present the phrase
has had a new meaning, since the white
house grounds are to be the scene Of
on two colonial gardens in the south
grounds, which when completed in the
fall will resemble the gardens at Mount
Vernon, whose prim box-hedge borders
and old-time flowers and shrubs are
famous the world over.

USEFUL CHINESE BUGS.
They Feed on the San Jose Scale ana
Are Expected to Save Millions
for Fruit Growers.

More bugs are being Matched daily
at the department of agriculture at
Washington than we're ever before
stimulated by human enterprise.
The insects chosen for propagation
"a dozen of them. which were i'm
ported alive from China more than d
year ago-were so precious that sin
gle specimen could not be bought fol
500.
This will be better understood When
it is explained that this batch of bug,
with their progeny bid fair to rit
the United States of pest which at
the present time is causing a loss of
$10,000,000 year.
The pest is the San Jose scale
originally brought from China OF
Hawaii to California, which has
spread over large portion of the
fruit-growing regions of the United
States, and threatens to wipe out the
horticultural industry.
Once it gets a foothold in an or
chard it sweeps through the latter as
destructively as fire. Its rate of prop
agation is something fabulous, under
favorable conditions, and the twigs
and branches it attacks are quickly
covered with sortof gray scurf con-
sisting of the waxy execretions o. an
incalculable multitude of microscopic
insects.
By good luck Mr.. Marlatt, one of I'm
Gle Sans most skilled entomologists,
happened to be travelling in northern
China about Is months back and found
there this very plague. But the mis-
chief, though obvious enough, was not
specially destructive because of a pecu-
liar insect much resembling a minia-
ture hedgehog.
1t seemed evident that this was the
enemy provided by nature for keeping
down the scale insect, and Mr. Marlatt
promptly proceeded to capture a few
hundred specimens, which he brought
to this country in tin boxes.
Nearly all of them died on the way,
but on reaching Washington the dozen
hardy ones that survived were put
into a wire net cage outdoors, being
placed upon the branches of a pear
tree that was thoroughly infested with
the scale insects. Without a minutes
delay the Chinese bugs went to work
preying upon the scale insects, and
what was more important, they pro-
ceeded to multiply their own kind rap
idly.
Pretty soon a second cage containing
another fruit had to be built to re-
ceive the overflow and to-day there
are more than dozen similar cages

MOTHER OF QUEER BROOD.
Hen Missing from Flock for Several
Weeks Is Found TO Have Iatehed a
Dozen Quail,

Mrs. Lucy J. Fisher, wife of Pat
rick Fisher, a farmer near Normal,
Grant county, Ind, is the possessor
of an unusual brood, consisting of
men and II quail.
One of Mrs. Fishers favorite hens
was missing from the flock for sew
eral weeks, and was only seen occa-
sionally when she came from a wheat
field on the farm to get something to
eat. She acted as if sitting on hid
den nest in the field, but all efforts of
Mrs. Fisher to locate the nest were
unavailing. One day Mrs. Fisher fol-
lowed the hen through the field to an
open ditch, where she found her try
ing to coax her brood, consisting of
a dozen young quail, to cross the
ditch. The quail were old enough to
fly when pressed, but returned 10 the
hen on being called. The hen and the
quail seemed as much attached to
each other rs any hen and her chick
ems could be.

The Brookline (Mass.) board of

kerosene oil, is about to take up Il
suggestion calling attention to a new
process for lessening the evil by
means of musical sounds.
The discoverer of the new process
says: ut has been found that practi-

raising to a great number of vibra-
tons per second the particular note
to which the mosquito is most sensi-

produced by sudden electrical iIh-
