TRAP To CATCH MOSQUITOES.
kentucklsn Has Device He Thinks
viii Extermlnate Pests.

Now that mosquito time is here, a
description of a newly invented mos
quito trap will be Of interest. A mos.
quito trap is a novelty in its way, II
being generally understood that hu.
man ingenuity did not reach the point
of trapping this willy insect. However.
such an invention will probably soon
be placed on the market.
The trap in question is box about
a foot square, and made OF plain wire
screening, latticed like window
shutter. The merit Of the invention.
however, lies within. where there is
a small automatic music box. which,
when set in motion. makes q noise
similar to that made by person
breathing in sleep. Around this box
is a gummy substance, which is calcu
lated to hold and poison the insect the
moment it lights. The invention is
based ON the theory that mosquitoes
are attracted to human beings by the
wheeling noise made when sleeping.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Trade has improved somewhat.
poets and the fact that last weeks
variations in prices Of steel products
failed to demoralize that industry.
The industrial atmosphere is still dis
turbed by labor controversies, how
ever, and it will be impossible to fully
restore national prosperity until the
proportion of voluntarily unemployed
wage-earners is greatly reduced. De-
spatches from leading cities indicate
irregular conditions, but there is in
creasing confidence in the future.
Prospects are considered bright on the
Pacific Coast, because Of the high
prices paid for farm products. For
eign commerce at this port for the
last week was unfavorable, exports
showing loss OF 81 ,oo5, as COM
pared with the same week last year,
while imports decreased S2.267,773.
Price uncertainty still dominates
the iron and steel market. Various
constructions are placed upon the re-
cent reduction, but, whatever the OBJ
ject may have been, the result has cer-
tainly initiated against recovery at a
most critical time, and the hope that
still more attractive quotations may
prevail causes postponement in plac-
ing contracts.
Failures this week numbered 2o5
in the United States, against I76 last
year, and in Canada 80, compared with
SO year ago.

PeriIOua Tendencies,

There are three ''mschievous and peril.
Jus tendencies in our modern world,
adds DIR. Van Dyke, against which the
spirit of Christianity, embodied IN "a sane
md virile and lovable literature can do
much to guard US The tirst Is the grow
ng idolatry OF military glory and con-
quest. A literature that Is Christian
must exalt love, not only as the greatest,
out as the strongest, thing in the world
The second is the growing ldolatry OF
wealth "A noble literature, truly in har-
nony with the spirit OF Christ, will ret.
crate IN a hundred forms oi beauty and
power His teaching that "A man lie con-
iistenth not in the abundance OF the things
which he possesseth The third Is the
growing spirit OF frivolity. "One OF the
greatest services that Christianity can rem
Ter to current literature Is 70 inspire II
With a nObler ambition and lit It To
higher level" Dr. Van Dyke concludes:
Il remember an old wOOdSman IN the
Adirondack forest who used to say that he
wanted to go to the top OF certain noun
5ain as often as his legs would carry him
because it gave him such a feeling of
heaven-up-hi-tednes That Is an un'
,outh, humble, eloquent phrase to describe
he function OF great literature.
Unless above himself he can
Erect himself, how mean thing Is man
[ want the books that help me out Of the
vacancy and despair OF a frivolous mind,
out OF the tangle and confusion OF a society
that is busted in bric-a-brac, out OF the
meanness of unfeeling mockery and the
heaviness OF incessant mirth, into loftler
and serener region, where through the
clear air of serious thoughts | can learn TO
look soberlv and bravelv upon the mingled
misery and spendor OF human. existence,
and then go down with cheerful courage
to pay mans part in the life which
Christ has forever ennobled by His divine
presence.

NEW TRICK ON 'BARKEEPER.
Ring Of Butter in the Pitcher Keeps
the Foam Down on the Beer.

The barkeeper stopped long enough
to fill a "growler." or glass pitcher
with beer, looked at it suspiciousiy
and then swore. When his good ma
ture returned he explained:
did you notice how little foam
there was on that pitcher OF beer?
Well, I got worked for about twice
as much as we usually sell for
dime The trick is very simple. Be-
fore those people sent in that pitcher
they drew a ring around the inside
Of 1t with butter or something OF that
kind.
What difference does that make?
Why, it acts this way. Most OF the
GROWERS we send out Of here are about
one.third beer and the rest -oam, but
with one of these creased pitchers
II is all the other way
when you draw the beer into one
of these the stun fats very quickly
AS the beer hits that ring 1t drops
down. II doesn't spoil the beer
either. When the beer Is poured In
to glasses It will have all the original
life In 1t, just as II fresh from the
keg"

tering? They are with Jesus Christ. There
IS a so.called larger hope that somehow
men in eternity will be brought back into
fellowship with God. Such a conception is
not biblical. Exegesis has not established
such hope. Men have swung away from
the view of a material hell. But that is
nc. the emphasis of Dante nor Christ.
Their emphasis is upon the surety Of pen.
atty for wrong doing. The complete re.
yolt against literal hell has led many to
an attitude of absolute disbelief in hell.
Medievalism had its faults and its virtues.
Men to-day need to turn back and study
that medieval period. 1t has message

message OF Christ. 1t needs vivid reali.
sation OF the consequences OF sin. W Nould
chat we might be permitted to look INTO
the soul of the evil doer in public and pri.
vate life who has been brought to justice.
The mental agony beheld would warn
young America from sin. What this age
forces are mighty. Cantilever bridges,
giant iron horses and ocean greyhounds
bear the traffic of the world. We are
thrilled with the advancement OF the age.
We admire great steel structures, massive
buildings and splendid granite walls. Yet
that which builds is greater than that
which is built Nimber and switter than
the arms and the muscles was the invisible
thought which wrought through them. We
DO not read cf Jesus Christ as a man with
giant arm and a mighty shoulder But
who can measure the length and breadth,
and depth OF power OF that magnificent
personality? He was bone, flesh and
sinew. Yet in Him was good. He re-
yealed the power of God and sent it down

against sin. Let this mind be in you which

Lesson Thoughts.
The thought of dwelling with our
Savior should be the highest hope
home.
All is perfect purity and holiness in
heaven; but We are by nature sinful
and impure, and there shall in no
wise enter into it anything that defil.
eth. Our only hope Of entering heaven
then. is through Jesus; il we seek any
other entrance we shall lose our way.
Selections.
Jerusalem the Golden,
There all our birds that few,
Our flowers but half unfolden,
Our pearls that turned to dew,
And all the glad lfe-music,
Now heard no longer here,
Shall come again to greet us
AS we are drawing near"
Upon the tombstone of a young wo-
man. blind from her birth, stands the
single sentence, There shall be no
night there" Thus heaven will be
to each soul that for which that soul
has the keenest and highest capacity
for enjoyment.
Far out of sight, while sorrow still
infolds us,
Lies that fair country where our
hearts abide,
And of this bliss Is naught more
wondrous told us
Than these few words Il shall DO
satisfied"
Your heaven is what in your heart
you desire most, and il 1t Is money,
or fame, or anything lower than
Christ, every step toward such
heaven withdraws you from the true
one.
The angels from their throne on high
Look down on us with wondering eye,
That where we are but passing guests
We build our strong and solid nests;
But where we seek to dwell for aye
We scarce take heed a stone to lay.
