SOAPS AS INSECTICIDES.
They Are Effective If the Soap Is of First-Class Quality-Make
 Your Own Soap.

f. A communication from the New York experiment station relative to the quality of soaps for insecticides, says:
 Whale oil, or fish oil, soaps are among the best of contact insecticides if they are of good quality, since they are inexpensive, easy to use, safe and effective. In practice, however, they have been found to give varying re- suits, some lots of the solutions made from such soaps failing to kill many of the same kind of insects that other lots of the same apparent strength destroyed completely. The continued occurrence of such failures cast sus- picion upon the soaps, and examina- tions at the experiment station. by the exact methods of the chemist. proved that they vary to a surprising extent. The best sample contained four times as much actual soap as the poorest one. and one sample of certain brand was only half as good soap as an- other sample of the same brand from a ulHtItA AN pdthdSrs CO uhAciIdDtc were the:se soaps that the best solu- ton of the problem appeared to be for the users to make the soap at nome. if feasible. and very few trials showed the process of making to be very simple and inexpensive.
 The soap is made by thorough mixing of easily obtained materials. without heating. To make 70 pounds of soap. containing 60 per cent. actual soap. re- quires six pounds of caustic soda. 22 pounds of fish oil and 1Iz gallons of water. The soda is first dissolved in the water and the oil then added gradually with constant ard vigorous stirring. This soap can be made at cost of three csats a pound or less. Used at the rate of one pound to seven gallons of water. the solution will destroy plant lice scales and other soft-bodied sucking in- sects without injury to foliage.

DIAGRAM OF THE GREENHOUSE. would take water too long to make the trip with the houses 300 feet long. It is hardly possible for a farmer to make small greenhouse pay if his time is worth anything unless he.takes his pay out in satisfaction, because the open- ing and closing of the ventilating sash and attending the fire take more time than most folks think, and the smaller the house is the greater is the cost per square foot of roof in taking care of it. I would call them an expensive lux ury for most farmers.
 Almost any man who has gumption enough to want greenhouse could build one by using hotbed sash for the roof, supported by two rows of posts for the outside walls and two rows Uf gas pipe posts inside; they would cause less shade than wooden posts of equal strength, and short gas pipe posts can be used outside the boards along the aisle by staying the posts with wire. Use one sash on the north slope and two op the south slope, and enough more by the side of these to make the house the desired length.
 Hot water is by far the best heat for . small house. and a water heater such as were used in railway cars, ought to be large enough to do the business. The piping must be arranged so that there are no air pockets to check the circula- tion of the water. The average winter will take about 16 pounds of soft coal per square foot of roof. A hillside will do if it slopes south; then 1t would an- swer as a wind-break and not shade the roof. Cold, windy days take the most coal. By using regular hotbed sash for roof they could be taken of, after danger of frost is past, and stored away or piled and covered and the beds used for garden during lhe summeraq The diagram shows end view of house.

with their own toes, live over-grown in- fants, and others were splashing and bathing in the tanks provided for their amusement.
 Next visited the reptile house, where a curious crowd was gazing through plate glass at serpents from every quarter of the globe. There were gorgeously-col- ored Regal Pythons, which could crush out a mans life as man might crush a grasshopper; harmless black and gar ter snakes. and hooded cobras. whose bite means certain death. There were alligators. too, and Gila monsters; but none of these impressed me as did one giant rattlesnake, who had large glass; fronted cage to himself. His body was as thick as a mans arm, and it was coiled like great steel spring, ready for action at an instant's notice Above the coil arose the tail, with many rattles, which vibrated so fast that they appeared as a mist, and an ominous sound could be heard above the hum of the crowd. But it was the head which attracted me most of all It as horrible but fascinating. It rested on the outer coil of the body, and was still and silent as though carved in bronze. But the look of pitiless, un- compromising hatred was almost past belief. That look. expressed in English. seemed to say to the gazing crowd: Curse you all. if this glass were only out of the way, how would make you scat ter"

How fslny thousands of times he had paced the front of that cage no one will ever tell. but so many that even his soft pads in pivoting had worn depressions in the hardwood floor.

THE VANISHING OSACES.
Life of Luxury Is Thinning Them Out, Much as It Does Penned-
 Up Game.

"The full-blood Indian is gradually passing, just as the deer or the wild tur- key will soon die if penned up, t" said Col John N. Florer, of Gray Horse. Okla, who has lived with the Osage Indians for 8 years, reports the Kansas City Jour nal. My prediction is that in 25 years more there will not be full-blood Osage left.
 When I first went among the Osages the tribe comprised between 5000 and 5000 people. Now there are but ], zoo or 1900 of them, including, of course. all those of mixed blood. The Osages have been holding their own pretty we'll in point of numbers in the last four or five years, but they are doomed to go the way of their fellows.
 The dying out of the race is due in large measure to the change in their habits of life. They used to be out in the open air all the time, and when they travelled it was always on horse back, Ever when they moved their camps each Indian would round up his string of ponies and make pack animals of six or eight of them. to carry his belongings. Now they ride about in buggies and car. riages. the best to be had They are rich enough to afford all the luxuries of that sort. and, with no incentive to exertion. their lives are about as far removed from their former habits of activity as could be.
 'T was present at the council near In. dependence. Kan. when the treaty was signed by which the tribe surrendered 10 the government the Osage ceded lands in southern Kansas. and purchased in their stead the million and half acres from the Cherokees. which they have since o. eupied.- That trade was a good thing fo; the Osages- They got SIPS per acre for the land. and the deferred payments were to draw five per cent interest That mounted up rapidly. and is the source of the annuities which the Osares eu,oy today

Comments of Group of Street Urchins Before the Bears Den-Hideous Rattlesnake - The "Soul
 in Prison."

Gosh! How'd yer like ter meet dat feller in Hester street, uv dark night, Jinsmie?"
 The speaker was sturdy, sandy haired, shabbily dressed youngster of nine or ten, whose complexion con- sisted chiefly of freckles, and who stood with three companions before one of the bear dens at the New York Zoolog- ical park. The Heller" referred to was the biggest of the great Kadiac bears, who stands nine feet something in his bare feet, and who at that very moment looked as though he could tuck, those four boys away inside him, as the first course of reasonable dinner. Jimmie to whom the question was addressed, start ed to smile, but as he raised his eyes to the muzzle of the big brown brute which lowered above him, he checked himself. He knew that his questioner was jok- ing, but in that awful presence the joke seemed to him anything but timely, snd with very serious shake of the head he answered, solemnly: "Gee!"
 Anu dS CduSuL Iuc ApicoolOu, knew that this youngster was using his powers of imagination, and that, to a certain extent at least, he felt the power of Kadiac bear. And wondered how many there were in the gaily- dressed crowd passing in perfect safety within two feet of those huge creatures, who realized the latent strength behind the bars. felt that here were mighty monsters made of muscle, and, though more compactly built, weighing as much as horse. Let those big jaws close just once on the shoulder of man, and he would never use his arm again; let one of those ponderous paws be swung upon the head of an OK. and it wauld quiver and die like rat which had been struck with club. Fortunately they are good natured giants, and their keeper walks fearlessly among them, dwarf by com parison. What would happen, wonder, if those bears suddenly acquired the in- telligence of man?
 Strolling on, passed the dens where smaller bears of many species were amusing themselves in various ways. Some were wrestling together, some were rolling on their backs and playing
