daily rides around the city and its

five friends along for company, and

comes with the knowledge Of possible
danger and there is also the knowledge
that the machine can be made to run
over Il smooth piece of road at a rate
of speed that makes the telephone

credited with possessing admirable

LOCUST PLAGUE IN EGYPT.
In7esion Of Insects Very Serious One
Destroy Everything in
Their Path.

There is every probability OF the
plague of lOcusts which has now de-
scended on Egypt proving a very seri-
GUS one, writes the Cairo correspondent
of the London Daily Mail. Great anx-
iety is felt for the young cotton and
other crops
The locusts first arrive in compare
lively small numbers, but they multi
ply very rapidly as soon as they reach
the edge Of cultivation. Within ten
days the young insects, though still
wingless, advance in a solid phalanx
sometimes two or three feet deep and
several miles in length.
It is essential that at this stage they
should be destroyed, as it would be i'm.
possible to check the ravages of fly.
ing locusts.
The method adopted during the last
visitation, that of 1890, was to dig deep
trenches, sometimes miles In length.
between which and the advancing
swarm huge heaps Of straw were laid
and fred. Any locusts which succeed
ed in escaping the flames and smoke
fell into the trenches, where they were
destroyed by natives under the super.
vision Of English instructors.
It is a providential habit of young
locusts never to turn back or aside
when once started. no matter what OBJ
stacles are put In their way.
The eyes of the birds that fly by night
are generally almost double the size Of
those Of day birds.

According to the aid adage, there. IL

is what is used in making this milk

BILE, stone ornaments and billiard balls
are now made of skinned milk. The in
solubility Of galalith, its easy working
elasticity and proof against fire make
it very desirable. Already 10000 quarts
of SKINNED milk are daily used for the
purpose in Austria.

on each side of the front, thus max
ing II in all. The seams are stitched up
by hand after which the beading and
lace are sewed around the neck, in the
armholes and down the front. Beading
is, of course, used at the waist line, and
white double-faced satin ribbon is run
through 1t.
For the other corset cover-a Frenchy
little affair-a half dozen skeins of cot
ton and strip of beading for the waist
are al the trimming that is required.
The scallops about the neck, down the
front and in the armholes are done in
buttonhole stitch and the design on the
front may be either featherstitched or
embroidered. The Sits through which
the shirring ribbon is drawn are about
quarter Of ai1 inch wide-just little
wider than the ribbon. They are not
buttonholed, but are merely two finely
overcast edges. Very dainty nightgowns
are made after this same idea.
The Detroit Free Press says that this
work is not so difficult to do satisfac-
torily as might at first be imagined, for
one can get the cloth stamped in any
desired pattern, and even with the posi-
tons of the medallions and eyelets des-
ignated.

wearing handouts was Que to a point
OF pride with Sheriff Wilson, in whose
custody Billy was.
ANY time when Tom Wilson needs
handouts to take care of only one pris-
oner, 1t will be because he is an older
and weaker man than he is these pres

of the Scriptures that 1T is not good for
man to live alone"
According to the statistics June holds
the palm for the union of hearts and for
tunes. 1t appears that there is some
subtle connection between the month of
roses and the poetic fancy which leads
brides to choose that time Of the year
for the happy ceremony.
May is the most unpopular month.
Candidates for marital honors seem to
have taken seriously that old saying:
Marry in May and repent for aye"
People who are matter-of- fact about all
things else pay due regard to the popular
superstition when it comes to this seri-
GUS question.
Next to June comes January as the
marriage month, and December is third.
Then come, in order, July, November
and April, while September and October
show an equal number Of marriages,
leading August by one. February and
March are dull months.

whole world. The baby was standing

shoulder so as to face the seat behind
AS Billy looked at it the baby again
broke into a gurgling laugh and extend

Even a man on his way to the peniten-

such advances, and Billy, despite his
faults, was fond of children. He snapped
his fingers at the baby, who chuckled
gleefully at the performance. The
mother looked around with the proud
smile of a young mother, who is certa1D

To Avoid Sleepless Nights.

Here is a simple and available
recipe-a medicinal bath for the nerv-
ously worn and those who cannot sleep
O. nights. It was the prescription of
an old physician. Take Of sea salt
four ounces. spirits of ammonia two
ounces, spirits of camphor two ounces,
OF pure alcohol eight ounces and suf-
ficient hot water to make a full quart
of the liquid. Dissolve the sea salt in
the hot water and let stand until cool.
Pour into the alcohol the spirits of am
monia and camphor. Add the salt wa
ter, shake well and bottle for use.
With soft sponge dipped in this mix
ture wet over the surface of the whole
body. Rub vigorously until the skin
glows. When nervous or blue" or
wakeful do not omit this bath. The
rest and refreshing that follow will
amply repay the efforts required to
prepare It.
