The plague of mosquitoes Is being
fought by the summer girl in new
way. Camphor, pennyroyal and the
other oils and essences, including sas-
safrass, are laid aside by the summer
girls.
The summer girl, whether at the
seashore or inland, is fighting off the
mosquito with joss sticks, the long
brown sticks of fragrant Chinese
punk.
They stick these in their hair and
the aromatic fumes float on and up
and, it is said, deter the enterprising
mosquito from presenting his little
bill.
In consequence there is a great
deal of sparkling at the summer re-
sorts at night. The scent of Orien-
tai incense is in the air, and the mos

the burning sticks keeping the pests

the joss sticks ceases four inches
from the end of the bamboo splinter.
There is enough of the incombustible
part to stick in the hair without any
danger of burning it.

Who busters along with his clatter-

In green regimentals and brass
fronted helm,
With blackened mustaches, and hair
in pomade
And powder-as proud as a Prus-

Who ruffles with DULLES and frightens
the tops?
Who growls at the tavern, gruff-
voiced as a bear:
"Sturmwetter un Hagel! Schnell!

Why, Friedrich Won Heusen, the
Hessian chasseur;
The scorn Of the Briton who gives

The tyrant and dread of the Tory

And quake at the creak of his

For foul are the rumors that darken
the door
OF Sugar-House Prison-that Keep
of Despair,
Where poor, captive Rebels are dead

In Friedrich the Jailer's benevolent

Stole over the rose where the sun

Then strolled through the fields to

Embosomed in meads, to the north

But Stunned after twilight, for mon.

Arose from the depths Of it's bot

F. FATE 81 the HFSSIAN

| AS Friedrich glanced out toward its
centering isle
He spied in the thicket, half hidden
from view,
A form, worn and wasted and lean as
file,
In rags OF Rebellion-the Buff and
the Blue.
"Ho, kerl!" jeered the Jailer, "thy
garments are torn!
Thou runaway Rebel, come hither,
say!
Thy comrades are lonely, thy prisons
forlorn.
No? Dummkopf! I'll fetch thee;
and then shalt thou pay!"
He cast down his helmet in ireful
haste,
He kicked down his jack-boots, he
tore off his coat.
And girding the big-hilted sword to
his waist,
He splashed in the lake with curse
in his throat.
The waters, as black as the glass Of
Lorraine,
Were stirred from their depths
with heave and a roll;
Fright-stricken, the Hessian surged
forward-in vain!
The Fiend Of the Collect had come
for his toll!
He struggled, but silent, resistless as
Fate,
A huge scaly arm strained his
thews. fold on fold,
He screamed in his madness; re-
morseless as Hate
A great, evil claw gripped his throat
in its hold.
The bubbles rose, sobbing, then
ceased and were STILL
The ripple was hushed on the she'll
Uttered shore;
The darkness descended on river and
hill;
And field camp and prison knew
Friedrich no more!
