HORNET A PEST REDUcER.
Although They Sometimes Sting, the
Insects Are Real Benefit
to Mankind.

AS the leaves are falling and the
hunting season is on, hornets nests
become the target of occasional
thoughtless hunters. says Field and
Stream. There is much more to be
said against this useless practice than
that it is a waste of ammunition. Hor-
nets or "white-faced wasps" have no
evil traits or obnoxious features. It is
true that they will sometimes sting,
but only when they are attacked in
their homes. or think their young are
in danger. The great value of these
insects is that they live entirely upon
insects, mostly flies, and. in fact, when
they are near dwellings, their food Is
generally the common horse fly. They
are natures greatest factors In re-
ducing this serious pest. It is well
known that flies carry disease germs
such as typhoid fever, and it can thus
be seen that hornets have q decidedly
sanitary effect as . result Of their de-
sirable insectiverous habits.

THe JAPs AND THE MULE.
Rice Growers Of Nippon Are Not Anx-

80 tho Japanese rice growers are

tho matter. The American mule IL

ter how wise he may be, can do any
thing with him unless he have special
training. AS q matter of fact, the
white man in America Is sadly de-
dcient when 1t comes to a working
knowledge Of the mule. Up to the
present writing the American negro
is the only living person who can
claim anything like mastery when it
comes to the mule. Somehow there
is something in the nature Of the
black man and the mule which makes
1t easier for them to get along. Just
what it is I do not know. But even
the black man will have his ups and
downs now and then with the mule,
and I have seen some very interest
ing instances of this kind, one Of the
most amusing being that of an ex-
tremely hard skulled. negro who never
wanted a better weapon than his head
in any sort Of conflict with man or
beast.
Zone day he fell out with his mule.
Ordinarily, they get along we'll enough
together. But in some way the mule

negro mad and the tight began. In

using his head as weapon. The blow
was a knockout blow all right, but
tho trouble was that It knocked the
negro out also. Both mule and negro
fell to the ground like dead In a
short while both were fairly good

An accidental experiment In the veloc-
ity of sound is recounted by . corre-
spondent. He went to his telephone.
and Just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click of another tells
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open. Then he
heard through the telephone the shrek
OF a locomotive whistle, and few Sec
onds later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up. he saw a locomotive half mile
away, passing the house Of friend.
The mystery was solved. The telephone
that was open was that at the distant
house, and the sound of the whistle had
come through its transformation into an
electric current quicker than it had tray

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY
No Woman Can Do This Who Has
Permitted Her Mirror to Be-
come Her Tyrant. "

To q great many women the time
they devote before the mirror be-
comes in a way period of supreme
torture. Whether long or short, thi:
time spent in peering into her glass
and searching there for signs of age
care CT worry in her face is not only
time wasted. but put to the wors
possible use.
have in mind. says a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle, woman OF
80 odd, in the heyday of her beauty
who daily scans her mirror for traces
of the first wrinkle or the first gray
hair. The day when she makes the
discovery-and it will be long before
anyone else does-will be a day OF
misery for her, for she firmly believes
that youth, beauty and happiness are
bound up in the preservation of an
unlined brow and raven hair.
Her apprehension is so great that
she worries so that age should take
her unawares that she is really incapa-
bic of fully enjoying her youth and
good looks.
No one can get the best out Of life
who lives in constant dread Of what
the mirror will reflect. Every woman
wants to be as pretty as possible. and
every woman should do all in her
power to preserve her charms. But to
make a tyrant of the mirror is to give
it power and influence which does
not rightly belong to it.
We see in others what we wish to
see in them, and this lis particularly
true of the reflections in the looking
glass.
If we scan it for traces of oncoming
years. far wrinkles and lustsrless eyes,
we see. or think we see, the signs of
age approaching. If one looks at it
convinced that it will reflect the vigor
and splendid maturity which one feels
there will be no disappointment.
A wrinkle, a gray hair does not
mean age. The handsomest woman I
know is grandmother, and the years
may possibly point to 40, but when she
looks into the glass she does so fear
lessly, knowing that she will see there
the image Of face full Of charm, good
cheer and sympathy, and she is never
She uses many outward means of
her looks and attends to
her hair and complexion persistently,
but she has learned the secret that 1t
is, her spirit and not the lotion that
keeps her looking and feeling young.
She does not think of herself as old,
nor speak of the approaching years
with dread. Her mind is filled with
interest for all things, her heart with
sympathy for all people. and she has
found the secret of youth.

After the shampoo, if the hair IS stiff
and dry, rub olive oil into the roots.
Highly scented soaps are often in

rancid ingredients.
In dieting to reduce flesh drink no
liquids at meals and no water until an
hour at least after the meal.
A glass Of warm or hot milk taken
just before or Immediately after arising

For enlarged pores the camel's hair
brush and constant scrubbing with pure
soap is the quickest and surest cure.
Thin people who wish to gain flesh
should eat a light luncheon before retir-

flesh of tho body.

part of her widely read poems anony-
mously-her popularity rests upon the
one short poem, Little Drops of Wa
ter" as it is popularity known, or
Little Things" which, the author
says, is the real title.
A short time ago 1 had the pleasure
of visiting Mrs. Carney. who lives In
a small, prettily-situated house. I was
escorted to her room and found her at
a small writing table. Something in
the radiance of her pleasant counte-
nance told me that l was more than
welcome, and without hesitation Itook
advantage of the situation. 1 directed
a few questions concerning the writing
of Little Drops of Water"
The poem was written while Mrs
Carney was attending a class in
photography held in the Old fremont
Temple, Boston, fifty-nine years ago.
She wrote it in ten minutes merely as
an exercise in meter which a professor
desired the students to practice. The
next morning she made a few changes
in it. adding a verse OF two, for she
enjoyed teaching a Sunday school
class, and thought that it might be
we'll to read her verses as a poetic les
son. This she did on the following
Sunday, and the parents of some of
the children who heard the lines were
so impressed that they sought a pub
Usher for the young authOress. Several
periodicals published the poem soon
after-F7rOm Success.

WATER ATTRACTS SNAKES.
Naturalist Werner Reports Results of
Observations.

Some surprising and noteworthy con-
illusions on this point have been reach
ed by a German naturalist, Werner OF
Vienna, who has recently reported the
result of observat tons that he has been
making for some time on the senses OF
inferior VertebrateS.
On certain points the conclusions of
NJ. Werner are very surprising, and IN
all they are worthy of notice Werner
has observed 1876 individuals, of which
one-third were at liberty, and he took
all possible precautions not to let the
creatures know they were watched.
One general fact is evident, that rep
tiles and amphibians are strongly at
traeted by water. They go straight Tor
it, even when they are at distance so
great that they could not divine It's
presence by any of the senses known
to us. 1t seems really that sense OF
which we have no knowledge informs
them of the direction in winch water
may be found.
There seems to be a sort of chemical
attraction, says NJ. Werner. But now
does this act, and on what part or the
creature? This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the llght, put ille-
pendently of heat; they are positive
" heliotropic, and in winter they OFTEN
leave a comfortable and warm retreat
to seek the sunlight. Sight is general
ly good with them. 1t is probably tne
finest sense they possess, but 1t Wouid
still appear to be very limited. The
caymans and the crocodiles cannot
distinguish a man at a distance OF
more than six times their length
according to Werner. In the water
fishes see only at very close range,
about half their own length This VIII
seem. perhaps, unlikely to anglers, al
though some of them can cite instan-
ces showing that fish cannot see Iaf.
Snakes seem to have a very mediocre
sense of sight The boa, for instance,
does not see at more than quarter
or a third of its own length; dlfterent
species are limited to one-fffth or one
taT Off they see at Is or 20 times their
length. Frog catchers know this from
experience Hearing is much poorer
than sight, if possible. Most reptiles
are noticeably deaf, except saymdns
and crocodiles; the boa appears 10 pe
absolutely so.-Revue Scientifique.

its social rooms, equal to those of the
best club rooms in the great cities, will
be the center of the artistic life of the

chased by some merchant prince, will
be exhibited for all to see; where the
club life for young men, the literary
life for young women, and the musical
life for all classes will center. On the
Sabbath there will be a great sermon
in the morning, that represents the
thought and study and prayer of six
days and nights, of q man whom God
ordained through his ancestry for
moral illumination. There will be a
great Bible school, toward which all
the families will converge. There will
be a great choral service in the after
