Destined for Use In the Home.

make his pocketbook suffer or cause
him to feel ashamed of himself This
device consists of pair of fiat boards
shaped like the trouser legs, with a
set of clamplng levers around the edges
which make it possible to draw the
two presser boards tightly together.
These clamps consist of pivoted levers,
having cam faces of such shape as to
decrease the space as they are re-
volved. To use this trouser stretcher
and presser the bottoms of the legs
are first clamped in position. Then
the waistband is pulled up until the
legs are tight and smooth, after which
the remaining clamps are frightened
and the garment allowed to remain as
long as necessary.

Can Press His Own Trousers.

Any man who desires to be particu-
larly neat about his appearance will
not neglect to keep his trousers press
ed free from wrinkles. There is prob
ably no other seemingly trivial thing
which will so detract from the per-
sonal appearance of man as wearing
a pair of wrinkled trousers. Some
men are so particular about this point
that they pay more for pressing than
the trousers cost originally, and 9th
ers take advantage Of the tailor's offer
to keep their clothing pressed for
year after purchase, visiting the store
so often that the tailor gets sick OF
his bargain. With the aid Of the in
vention shown in THE picture it should
not be a difficult matter for man to
keep his trousers in shape himself.

tailor at such frequent intervals as to

To Save Life in Steamboat Disaster.

TO Save LIE IN Steamboat DIsasters'
A device which may prove of SER
vice in steamboat disasters has been
lately patented by German inventor,
who holds the theory that many per-
sons are drowned because of their in
ability to keep the waves from dash
ing in their faces. In order to guard
against this he has invented a life
mask. fitted with a valve which per
mits the intake of air from overhead,
but effectually keeps out the water.

CABBAGE SNAKES
ARE HARMLE
And May be Eaten Raw or Cooked
With lmpunity.

For the benefit Of the nervous
and dyspeptic the statement is made
on the best authority that the So
called cabbage snake" is no snake
at all, but a harmless little worm
that may be eaten raw or cooked
without danger. They are as harm
less as apple worms and are not
near so plentiful. The following
article by Gerald Mccarthy, biolo-
gist, published in the bulletin of
the North Carolina State Board of
Agriculture is conclusive:
The sea serpent Of mendacious
renown seems to have been forced
out of business this year by a land
serpent which has located in the
western part Of North Carolina,
where II has taken 10 frightening
the owners Of cabbage patches.
Many stories have been published
concerning the deadly venom Of
this creature, usually referred TO as
the cabbage snake" Several Of
these ''serpents' have been caught
and sent TO the North Carolina de-
partment Of agriculture for identif-
cation. In every case these have
proved 10 be- the common and
harmless water worm, or hair
snake '-Gordiusyariabilis.
Snakes and serpcnts belong to
the hack-boned series Of animals.
This creature IL a ncmatodc worm
belonging far down in the scale Of
created bcing. II has soft, hone
less body, with only rudimcntary
organs. Il docs not bite or chew,
but ab>orbs IT, food in liquid form
through every part of it, body. 1t
Is normally an internal parasite Of
grasshoPpcr and other insects. It,
presence in cabbage head. is rare
and accidental, due to the previous
abundance II insects upon the
plants The Gordius worms arr
never found parasitic upon human
or vertebrate animals. The stories
concerning the deaths supposed "a
have been caused by these worm.
are untrue and ridiculousl
There is no venom in them.
They may H. eaten raw or cooked
without any danger To the eater.
The serious part oi these storie,
is that such publications may cause
considerable loss by preventing pco
pie from eating the cabbage thcy
have raised or purchased. Sucl
fears are wholly groundlcss. Thcs,
worms are not common, and whcl
they do occur upon cabbage thcl
will do M harm To any one caiinI
