 l.. o. Howard, United States ento- amologist, has devised and expert mented with method which has proved to have much practical useful \ ness-nameIy to pour oil on the sur- face of waters that propagate mos- ] quitoeS A small quantity of kero- sene employed in this manner will go a long way. If there is a stagnant pond or overfowed marsh in your vii cinity, you cannot invest money more profitabiy this summer than to buy some kerosene and apply 1t. The pro- cess is very simple, the oil spreading itself far and wide in an extremely thin film. Five gallons will cover 10000 square feet. A single applica- tion will suffice for the season, and will absolutely prevent the production of mosquitoes over the area treated. The coating Of oil quickly suffocates and kills all wrigglers.
 A country newspaper man, who is very fond of honey, visited neigh < boring city recently, and at one of the hotels he was served with some delicious honey. He enjoyed it so much that he told his wife all about it when he returned home On his . next trip to the city she accompanied VI him. They visited the same hotel, and when the noon meal was being served he said to his wife that he ! hoped they had some more of that ' honey. It did not appear, however, and the newspaper man, therefore, ! beckoned to waiter and said, "Say, Sambo, where is my honeyf" He was almost paralyzed when that worthy T &IlAuGu dI1I E0pllGQ. SuC uUdU WOTk here no more, boss She done got a job at the silk mill" The wife re- feiyed handsome new dress before \ they returned home, after making a solemn promise not to tell the story. Policeman O'SulIivan of Hartford had better stick to cracking heads in stead of cracking jokes on the land of ] his birth. The next time he visits the old land he will probably see things differently, or if he doesn't it will not be the fault of those who have taken him to task for his rash utterances. Perhaps, after all, the policeman has been lfbeled, and that he did not say all that was printed in the Hartford Courant That pa per might not hesitate to queer him, by adding word here and there. Such things have happened and are I happening every day. A very recent case is that of. the Associated Press which has made frank apology for allie made out of whole cloth by one Of it's correspondents, who said that David B. Hill in a recent speech call- ed the president a fraud. The re- porter didn't hear the speech at all and faked up a report for his paper. However, Policeman O'Sullivan knows by this time that silence is golden.
