One good thing seems to have come out of the marine hospital service ex- perience, It Is the discovery and an- founcement that the burning of dis til'ation of ptne wood called pyrofume will effeetive1v free houses and single rooms of mosquitoes. 1t is more deadly than sulphur and is not injurious to raints. metals or clothes. The fumes of this pine tar kills mosquitoes in- stantly. but do not harm human beings. But while this may be an excellent dis- eovery and handy to use about the house, 1t In no way approaches in value the drainage system of mosquito de- struction While pyrofumle kills the few mosquitoes in a house, the system which detroys their breedings places aims to kill the great ulk of the whole poxious, stinging, pest.rerous brood and in some places has already accom- pIished this desired result

 Bessie Wynn Is vaudeville debu- tante In one of these snows This Is Bessies first appearance on the New York stage in skirts. so tis said. as for several seasons she, has played boys parts, In tights. # not in trousers. Her beauty is Iusciously brunette, her eyes are brightly. big, and In the garb of her sex! she looks like a Carmen lit up for deviltry. After two ardent ballads, she gives one of those songs that soubrettes sing to one especial man or other in a box or a paraquet front row, usually a confederate. Although Bessie does it extremely cleverly, this paragraph wouldn't be written on that account. as the come-and- kiss-me trick has been pretty well played out But now that she has retired both of her legs from public view simultaneously, the reason why she has hitherto shown but one at @ time ought to go on record. Theatrical history should be saved from future confusion on that fundamental point Considered separately those limbs are symmetrical beyond q Nfiaw. But they don't match. One is bigger than the other. Couldn't the smaller be padded? |? That is a delicate, personal question The fact to be set down in the annals of the stage Is that during Bessle's long service in The Wizard Of oz" she exploited the disparity by purporting to hide 1t with drapery. One leg, and then the other. would step out from behind a dropping sasn. but the two of them never stood forth side by side That made Bessie anatomically inter-
