as ever they We're.

Philadelphia Record: There should
be less drunkenness at his season Of
the year than at any other time" said
a specialist in nervous disorders who
has a private sanitarium for the treat
ment of wealthy dipsomaniaos. TT Is
not generally ~known--in fact, I claim
the honor of the discovery--that roast
ed chestnuts are a good antidote for
liquor. The average man who drinks
under high nervous pressure, not for
the sake OF socIability, but because the
alcohol stimulates him to a greater ef-
fort, Is the one whose nervous system
is most quickly undermined. He may
never get drunk, but there Is q con-
slant demand for over-sttmulation that
works damage in the and. No sooner
does the effect OF one drink wear off
than there Is a craving for another.
Now, If that man would eat a few
roasted chestnuts instead oe taking an
other drink when the feeling comes on
him, he would find that the substance
of the nuts, having quickly absorbed
the liquor already in the system, had
appreciabiy decreased his longing for
more alcoholic stimulant. 1t isn't a
theory. I know 1t to be true

P~yrsthrune Powder Burned on Live

Popular Science Monthly: Anyone
who is Ill with malaria or yellow fever
should be carefully protected from
mosquitoes, for, should a person be bit
ten by an anopheles, the mlarial
mosquito. or stegomlya fasoiata, the
yellow fever mosquito. at this time,
there would be great danger that the
insects might fly away and bite some
one else and thus spread the disease.
Screens for both doors and windows
form the best protection against mos
quitoes at all times: hut 1t eften hap
pens that the insects get into u
houses. even though they are thorough
ly screened, generally through some
door or win9ow that has been left open
by mistake, or they may gain an en-
trance by coming down an. unused
chimney If the fiue is allowed to re-
main open curing the summer time.
A house or q room may be cleared
Of mosquitoes by burning pyrethrum
powder and allowing the smoke, which
is not at all offensive to mos people, to
thoroughly fill the room tina Is under
treatment. This smoke kills or SO
stupefes the insects that they will not
bite.
Pyrethrum powder is a preparation
of the plant pyretnrum roseun, and is
sometimes @ as Persian insect pow
der or Daltnation powder; ii can be
bought at any drug store for about IS
cents g. pound. It is a very fine, ligf,t
powder, and an ounce of 1t will GO a

Fortune-TcIiers Who Swindie the Very

Londen Spectator: When fortune
~tellers swindle the poor and ignorant
we would make them suffer smartly for
it. Certainly the ingenuity of a p%rofes-
sienal f~ortune-tetler is in itself edu-
!%catiye. The craft with which she
throws OF yelled hints, the subtlety
with which she pounces upon any lucky
shot and the diplomacy which she uses
to extort confessions are often magnin-
cent.
Observe the rapt, far-away look with
which she asks o abruptly: who
Is Ethel?" There Is a possibility that
you know some one OF that name, in
which Ease the odds are that you will
afford her some clew for intelligent
authorizations. If, however, o indig-
nantly deny any such acquaintance
she can always fall pack upon the very
safe statement that the name will be
familiar to you later or.
Such procedure reminds US of the
famous dodge of Disraeli, who, when
ever he met a man whom he did not
know, but felt he ought to know, in
CURED suavely, How Is the old COM
plaint?"
Playing this little comedy one day in
Pail Mall he was met with the discon-
certing reply, Complaint! I never
q an 2che or a pain in my lHe.'
whereupon he put his head on one
side and said with a sympathetic sigh,
"Ah, l meant the wife" The secret
OF the success OF most charlatans is
that, if they go on making a sufficient
umb Of shots, come of them are
bound eventually to hit the mark.
We remember the case of a clairvoy-
q n who told a fair client that two
good spirits We're watching over her
and that their names were Juliet and
Jane. The visitor declared that there
We're no such persons. But when she
came home and told her mother Of the
episode she was reminded TO her
amazement, that those We're indeed the
names of two sisters who had died in

Fortune-telling, we should say, is a
