BOOKWORMS.
they Are Not Worms Mt All, but Very
Industrious Insects.

The name bOokworm is made to coy
er an army Of little creatures of various
sizes, shapes and kinds which can be
found in books. Really no one of them
is worm, though perhaps the fish
moth and silver fish come nearer to
it than any of the others. There are
the book scorpions and mites, which
are not insects, but are primarily car
uiVorOus. Their presence in books may
be due to the fact that they find there
animal as we'll as vegetable food. This
is certainly true Of the scorpions, which
feed on mites, book lice and other
small insects. The book lice, cock
roach, silver fish and fish moth can have
no reason for infesting books except
their liking for farinaceOus substances
such as are used in and about the
labels and bindings of books. The
damage done by them IS largely cOnf1n-
ed to the exterior or interior Of the
bindings themselves. The white ants
feed principally on wood, and in and
about books there is more or less wood
fiber which Is to the liking OF these
voracious feeders. The moths and
beetles are the borers and burrOwers.
They seek retired places to lay their
eggs. where the larvae will have plenty
of food at hand when hatched. They
will sometimes tunnel from one cover
to the Other.-New York Herald.

Earliest NeVspaper.

The first daily newspaper was a
manuscript letter written by salarled
correspondents and forwarded by them
every twenty four hours from London
to the provinces. That was in the days
Of the early Stuarts. During the Com
monwealth these letters were printed
in type and circulated in large num-
bers. Even so long ago as 1880 the
law Of libel was such as to be charac-
terized by Judge Scroggs as making
any newspaper publication illegal and
tending to provoke a breach Of the
peaca

A WOman's Tongue.

"Woman's tongue IS her sword,
which she never let's rust" wrote
Nine. Necker. "The tongue Is not
steel, but it cuts" wrote Erasmus.
"The tongue kills more than the
sword" wrote Vesik, the Ottoman
statesman Solomon, the embodiment
Of wisdom, wrote, "It is better to
dwell in the corner Of the housetop
than with a brawling woman and in
a wide house." And st. James wrote,
"The tongue is little member and
boasteth great things" However, the
good King Arthur said, Deny not to
woman the proper use Of her tongue y

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Feeding FOa1 on Cows Milk.

Some time ago | had a young grads
coach mare In foal to a German coach
stallion. Before the time for foalnG
she had an attack of disease, from the
effects Of which she became much run
down and poor, writes a correspondent
of American Cultivator. The foal ap-
peared all right on being dropped, but
as the dam gave but very little milk II
made but little growth and was thin
and poor.
When two months old, somewhere
about the commencement Of autumn,
1t was taken from the mother and put
in the barn, where it was fed with
fresh green grass. Having a dairy and
separator, the colt was taught to
drink the skinned milk while sweet
and warm. 1t soon became fond Of the
milk and commenced to grow and fill
out 1t was kept In a rOomy pen all
med milk along with it's other feed. AS
a result it grew finely, became round,
smooth coated and handsome, In great
contrast with the poor, small, half
starved animal at the beginning. BY
spring there was not a finer looking
cot around and 1t attracted much at
tention on this account. Where au-
t,!mn colts are raised the skinned milk
diet might be of advantage along with
the other feed.

one occasion was as black as the back

cautions, the house has been absolutely
free from mist, and the atmosphere is
in normal condition while a dense fog

ZANZIBAR.
Its Fragrant Glove Forests and It's
MaIOdOrCus City Streets.

It's Fragrant Glove Forests and It's
MaIOdOrCus City Streets.
1t is difficult to describe in fitting Ian
guage the Glove gardens of Zanzibar
The "spicy breezes" which are said to
'blow soft DER Ceylon's isle' blow
with equal sOftness and perhaps no
less spicness through Zanzibar's beau
tiful Glove forests. The whole island
abOunds in richest vegetation, but the
Glove forests are It's real beauty spots.
And what q grateful change their fra
grant shade from the oriental Odors
and genuinely bad smells of the stuffy
streets of the old town itself! For
Zanzibar is not like an American city
in the width Of its streets and the ar
chitecture of its buildings. There is
scarcely thorOughfare in the whole
place wide enough to permit two vehi-
cles to pass, and the system Of santa
ton Is almost as primitive as that of
the garden of Eden; hence some Of the
smells. Fortunately the Glove forests
are not far away. Zanzibar has no
docks or wharfs. All goods are landed
or shipped by means Of lighters. The
tidal rise is about fourteen feet and
the fall necessarily the same. Vast
stretches of beach are thus left bare
at low water; hence more smells. But,
with all its drawbacks, Zanzibar is not
particularly unhealthy. 1t is hot, Wig
orously, viciously hot, but still the peo-
pie. the white people. manage to live
there in comparative comfort and In
spare hours play golf. tennis and some
times even football-E. Verne Richard

DICKENS PHRASES.
The Extent to Which They Have
.Made LANGUAGE"


Since Shakespeare no writer has
'made language" to the extent that
Dickens has done, and the number Of
common colloQrialisms taken from his
novels and which everybody uses ev-
cry day is the outstanding proof of
the success with which he has appeal
ed to the Imagination Of the nation.
How often one hears "Barkis is will
in" Beware of vidders," "Oliver
Twist asks for more" ''Codlin's the
friend. not Short" II don't believe
there's no sich person" ''Let me put
my lips to 1t when 1 am so dispoged,"
waiting for something to turn up"
"A trifie wearing" THE law is hass."
"The demnition bowwows," and so on!
Not a few actual words have come
from Dickens to the dictionary-Pod-
snappery, Pickwickian, Pecksniffian.
Bumbledom and many others. Dolly
Warden. the pretty heroine of "Barnaby
Rudge," has given her name to hat.
while Mrs. Leo Hunter, the Artful
Dodger, Uriah Heep and Mrs. farley

takes her meals as if she were sc in
stead of 96. She keeps, and has kept
ali her life, diary, which contains
multitudes of interesting facts.
Mrs. Ayers was born in Aeworth, N.
III. Feb. Is, 1909. She moved to Ner-
mont when she was 10 years of age.

The Rev. Charles E. Freeman,
Episcopal Rector,
HAS BEGUN HIS DUTIES.
Addresses Good Sized Congregations at
the Church Of the Good Shepherd
Yesterday, Morning and
Evening.

At the Church Of the Good Shepherd
yesterday morning, the Rev. Charles r.
Freeman, who for the past twelve and
one half years has been chaplain Of the
st. Luke Hospital in New York city,
and who has given up his work there to
accept the position of rector Of the
Episcopal church here, preached his first
sermon TO a congregation which filed
the church.
His sermon was, in fact, a contiden-
tial talk to the members Of the church
on what is expected Of them In the
work Of uplifting and enlarging their
church, and also he most forcefully cx-
planned the necessity Of working in har-
mony with their rector, whose work
for good among them would otherwise
be in vain. The sermon was listened
to with a great deal of interest and
there we're many expressions Of pleas
ant nature for the speaker afterwards.
In beginning his remarks be said:
AS / stand here before you this morn
ing and look into your faces for the
first time, | feel deep sense Of re-
sponsibility. We are about to enter
into deyout relations with each other
Relations like no other than the Great
Shepherd and his sheep.
How important is the work of the
church 1t stands for all that IS purest
and best in life, it stands for all the
hope we have in the life to come We
are to feel that the church is as a
candle stick and each member Of the
church should hold that candle SO that
/ it may shine its brightest. You must
not feel that it only your duty to go
to church, but you must enter into
the spirit of the purpose Of the church.
want you TO feel the same response
bility toward the church as you would
! if employed in a bank, store, school
or business Of any kind want you
/ to feel that your work il the same
as Christ's. The greater part Of the
work OF this parish is among men.
/ We are joined in one purpose, the up-
1 lifting OF the church. The moment we
begin TO be satisfied growth ceases and
the work of the church deteriorates.
If you know Of some one who does not
attend church, get him TO come with
you. Each one Of you must know of
someone who does not 10 to church
4 regularly. Get them to come with you
/ and soon this church edifiee win have
to be enlarged / ask you to pray
for your church morning, noon and
night. ask you in all seriousness to
pray for your parish priest. | ask
that you will not think so much OF
the things he does or does not do,
but more Of the purpose, for his work
| is what you make It.
i In concluding he said. have come
to help YOU in seeking after Cod
want To be one among you. Ask me
to come to you when you are sick
or in trouble. Let me be priest
unto you / would that my relations
with you be not formal, and that om
whole work be eentered in the one pnr
pose. We are in communion with Chrisi
only when we come to his altars. There
he awaits as and gives us life.
