How to Kill Mosquitoes.

general warfare on the mosquito is still going
on IN the South Many ways to exterminate them
have been suggested. Here is one that we have
clipped from an exchange:
Place four pounds of ordinary sulphur in metal
pot larger than the capacity Of the sulphur. Put
the pot OF sulphur into vessel containing small
quantity of water, which will be heated bv the 10.
milton OF sulphur. Saturate the sulphur with wood
alcohol and ignite. This application will DESTROY
every mosquito in 16x16 foot room and It is the
only means OF killing mosquitoes by sulphur. Close
every opening in the room while the sulphur ia
burning
Inc writer has omitted to state that most clothing.
and especially delicate fabrics, should be first well
shaken and removed from the room. Also remove
metallic substances. Brass dresser knobs. etc
should be covered closely with paper or with coat
of vaseline. dry day is preferable and always
IN the forenoon, so that the sulphur fumes will not
be noticeable by bed time.

As to New Orleans Death Rate.

prominent physician of New Orleans makes the
following explanation of the death rate from fever
in that city:
There are two explanations to the supposed high
death rate he says. THE death rate is high
because the Italian cases show up on the wrong
SIDE. Many OF them have not had physician at all
ana no treatment, the whole fact of their illness be-
ing concealed. Others have not had anything like
proper treatment, eating bananas and macaroni,
unl In the last stages, when physician is notified
or the department gets word of it. For these rea-
sons science has had hard struggle with the Ital-
lans, and this explanation should be made along
with the printed death rate"

THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE SOUTH.
From the New York Sum-

From the New York Sum-
The increase of wealth. of agricultural production
and of manufacturing activity in the Southern States
is recited with reasonable pride by the Manufac-
turers' Record, of Baltimore.
Between 1900 and 1904 the assessed values of
property in fourteen of these States increased the
rate of nearly 25000O0OO year, and this average
is likely to be much greater in 1906 Of the total
value of our exports in the last fiscal year than
80 per cent represented cotton and its products and
cotton manufactures rank fourth in actual value in
the exports of manufactured goods. The South's
share in all the exports exceeded $500 900 OOO and
was Al per cent.
Next to New York came the port of New Orleans
in the value of its EXPORTS then Galveston and Bal
timore fourth.
Between March, 1900, and July of this year 942
national banks, with aggregate capital of nearly
900, were organized in the Southern States
The market value of the Southern railroads, est.
mated June 80, 1904, by the census bureau at ST.
OO7, 528, 600, represented nearly fifth of the total
in the United States. The last number of the Man
ufacturers Record gives list of six new railroads
in the South incorporated and of various railroad
extensions. The French Transatlantic Steamship
Company is planning to begin regular sailings out
of New Orleans in October
The prosperity and extension of Southern cotton
mills are described in detail. The lumber industry
of Virginia and the Calonas in now in the greatest
period of activity in its history. The building &C
tivty throughout the Southern States is great and
also the development of every kind of business en-
terprise.
The South is rich and it is steadily growing rich
er. The prospect ahead is SO brilliantly inviting
that its contemplation ought to leave no time for
unavailing regrets for imaginary time when the
South was doing better This is its golden age, not
the days of slavery of runous interest rates and of
capital absorbed in slave property.

A Perfume That Smells.

The perfumer took from his desk a
small flask Of copper.
In TASKS like this altar of roses
comes to u.s." he said. ALTAR Of roses
is worth from $40 to $25 an ounce, &C.
cording to the market. This flask is
empty now. but in it little odor still
fingers"
The visitor smiled delightedly. He
had never smelt pure altar Of roses be-
fore. Now he unscrewed the stopper
and, closing his eyes, with an ecstatic
look he applied his nostrils to the flask.
But only for an instant. Then he
threw back his head, twisting his
features into grimace Of disgust, and
he exclaimed:
Garbage! Bone yards! Glue fac
tofiesv'
The perfumer laughed.
All essential oils smell like that" he
said. Yet no good perfume can be
made without them"
he took from shelf cut glass iar
filed with a thick, yellowish oil that
looked like petroleum partly refined.
In this JAR" he said, there are forty
ounces Of pure altar of roses worth
over $500. You know how the altar
smells alone. Now watch me make a
rich perfume by adding things to it."
He put few drops of the altar into
a vial. He filed the vial with spirits
OF musk, another Of orris, then one Of
neroli, one Of rose, of violet, of orange
OF vanilla, and, finally, the oil OF cloves
and bsrgamot.
There" he said, smell that. Isn't
It exquisite
Exquisite!" said the visitor.
We'll, without its foundation Of the
maiodorous and costly altar OF roses it
wouldn't smell any better than a plate
OF soup."-New York Herald.

10000 Club Which Does Things in Texas.

"Dallas, Tex, has 10000 Club which does
things, said commercial traveller yesterday. Its
members not content to wear buttons and wait
for manufactures and other prospective citizens to
ask for information before giving it. The club has
an advertising committee that goes out after people,
and goes after them in a practical way. They ad-
vertise in newspapers and magazines, and they use
those with big calculations and CORRESPONDENCE
high rates. They are after results, and they know
there is no economy in seeking cheap mediums of
advertising.
1.-The committee report for the first six months
of this sort of publicity shows an expenditure of
SIS, 1858 for advertising bills alone But that is
only part of the cost. When they get inquiries they
have literature worth sending out telling all about
the climate the products and the resources of the
city and State generally, including its churches,
colleges, public schools, places of amusement
everything homeseeker can want to know This
information carefully complied is illustrated with
fine half-tone pictures made from Photographs, and
for this sort Of work they paid out 43 in three
months, which, with salaries postage, etc., amount-
ing to s803, made total of S. 914s1 for advertising
Dallas and Texas to the world from February II to
August 10. And so far from deeming it's cost ex.
cessve the report goes to announce that the COM
mittee has laid out five years campaign at cost
of S15O,OOO.
Henry Dallas Dorsey, known in Dallas as the
man who does things is the leading spirit and as
chairman OF this committee complimentary dinner
was rendered him at the Elks' Club August II.
These are some of toasts made: Publicity What
We Have What We Need, Tell Others Get To-
gether,' DO Things and so forth. Those few Sc.
lections from the toass show the spirit Of the men
who are working in the club. That 10000 Club
will, I'll bet, achieve its original purpose before the
1--WE years are up and will have to raise the limit to
$50, 0OO.' -Arhansas Gazette.

We Are Hurrylne All Together.

All your wonderful inventions,
All your houses vast and tall,
All your great gun-fronted vessels,
Every fort and every wall,
With the passing of the ages,
They shall pass and they shall fall.
AS you sit among the idols
That your avarice gave birth,
AS you count the boarded treasures
That you think of priceless worth,
Time is digging tombs to hide them
In the bosom of the earth.
There shall come great convulsion
Or rushing tidal wave,
Or sound Of mighty thunders
From subterranean cave,
And boasting worlds possessions
Shall be buried in one grave.
From the Centuries of Silence
We are bringing back again
Buried vase, and bust and column
And the gods they worshipped then,
In the strange, unmentioned cities
Built by prehistoric men.
Did they steal and lie, and slaughter?
Did they steep their souls in shame,
Did they sell eternal virtues
just to win passing fame?
Did they give the gold of honor
For the tinsel OF name?
We are hurrying all together
Toward the silent and the night;
There is nothing worth the seeking
But the sun-kissed moral height
There is nothing worth the doing
But the doing of the right.
ELLA WHEELER Wilcox.
