KEEP THE RANGE IN ORDER.

hEEP IHE HANGE IN ORDER.
Lastly, the range, whether coal or
gas, needs attention. Cooks know well
that fues must be attended to IL hot
water and proper heat are to be OBJ
tanned, but large majority appear to
be unaware that, in addition to being
properly black-leaded and rubbed up.
the shelves should be carefully busted
daily. and washed weekly or SO with
strong hot soda and water. The same
remark applies to gas stoves, the
shelves Of the oven being thoroughly
cleansed in hot soda and water, and
the enameled parts well rubbed up
with flannel dipped in salt.
When the biennial cleaning is on, the
boiler Of the range should always be
seen to, not only TO insure a regular
supply of hot water, but to avoid ac-
tual danger. Eecollect, any disturb
ance of the regular supply of water
to self-filllng boiler implies danger of
explosion. whether the disturbance be
due to neglect or frost.

There Is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. Fora great many years doctors
pronounced IL a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced IL in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure. manufactured by +. j. Cheney 4 Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops 10 teaspoonful. II acts direct

A turkish Serpent $ Superstition.

The people of all serpent-rldden coun-
tries have many charms, spells and
incantatlons which they repeat or per-
form for the purpose OF exercising such
obnoxious visitors. In Turkey every
body from the sultan to the gamln

ran. When they come in contact with
a serpent, the first exclamation is "In
the name of Chah-Miran, go away and
hide thyself." OF course Chah.Miran
has been dead for centuries, but the
Turks argue that the serpents do not
know this. If they knew that they
were no longer under his influence they
would destroy the whole human race.

struction remains. In some instances
the interference with respiration is
due to deformity of the chambers of

of these conditions, or. it may exist

A HARE owNEp BY auseN MARY.
II Was Given ms Prize III Competition
Between Bards.

Between Bards.
There was dispersed by auction in
Edlnburg on Saturday family col
lection of Stuart and Jacobin relics OF
grent historic interest and value. The
early death of J. N. Durrant-Steuart,
the twelfth and last Laird of Dalguise.
in Perthshire. brought this unique col
lection to the hammer.
Interest centred mainly on two an
Client harps, one known as Queen
Mary's harp, and the other us the La
mont or Caledonian harp. For the
last twenty years they have reposed
In the National Museum of Antiqui-
ties. and are well known TO Scottish
antlquaries.
The story Of Queen Mary's harp is
that during hunting trip into the
highlands of Perthshlre, in the year
1868, she offered her own harp as a
prize in bardic competition. II was
awarded to Miss Beatrice Gurdyn, OF
Banchory. II closely resembles the
famous harp of Brian Boru, and a cen

ding until $40 was reached. and
finally at f9s2 los. II was secured by
the authorities of the Edinburgh Anti.
quarian Museum.
The Lamont harp. which dates from
the eleventh or twelfth century, was
sold at 1926.

A Mosquito That Does Not Bite

If we must have mosquitoes at all,
people will regret that the new spe-
cies of these insects which DIR. William
i. Underwood has discovered Is a ma
tive of the Maine woods instead of
more populous parts of the country,
says the Youths Companion. For this
mosquito does not bite, although it is
so large that if it We're given to biting
1t would be terror, and, moreover, its
larvae feeds eagerly upon the larvae of
other species of mosquitoes. For this
reason experiments are being made
to determine If the new mosquito will
thrive in the climate of Southern New
England. 1t has received the name of
eucorethra underwood. Its manner OF
dlsposlng of the larvae of other mos
quitoes is calculated to make sufferers
from recent mosquito bites gleeful.
"The victim is caught" says DIR. Un-
derwOod, shaken violently a few times
and lOwed."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Longevity of Birds.

Small singing birds live from eight
to eighteen years. Ravens have lived
for almost hundred years in captiv-
ity, and parrots longer than that.
Fowls live ten to twenty years. The
wild goose lives upward of a hundred
years, and swans are said to have
attained the age of 300. The long life
of birds has been interpreted as COM
pensation for the great mortality Of
their young.

At a recent meeting of the French

suggested that the adult sons and
daughters of authors ought to be re-

given a chance to fall in love with

on both sides, a superior race of auth
ors would result. His suggestion was
