MocQUIToEs ARE KILLING BIRDS
Attack Them at Night and Suck
Their Blood Away.

'Nf
Scores of canaries and other birds
in Baltimore, Md, are the victims of
the merciless attacks of mosquitoes.
Great numbers of birds become weak
and die as a result of having the life
blood sucked from their bodies by the
insects at night.
Scores of birds die in this city
each year" said James A. Graham, a
canary fancier, "of the attacks of
mosquitoes. Several years ago |
noticed that the legs of my pets were
swollen and the skin cracked and
sore. The birds ~perceptibly shrunk in
size and were almost dead when it
was suggested to me that mosquitoes
had something to do with the trouble.

the mosquito theory as the correct
one. The cages were covered with
net to keep out the pests, and as an
extra %precaution the legs of the birds
were dipped in oil of pe%nnyroyal, red
cedar and other remedies with per-
fectly satisfactory results. The insects

canary with perfect ease. All birds
when they sleep during the summer

sULTAN's DINNER is EXPENSIVE.
1t Costs Turkeys Ruler $4,000 Every
Day.

Day.
The Sultan of Turkeys dinner costs
him $4,000 a day.
The table is of silver, and it is said
to be the most exquisite specimen Of
the silversmith's art that the world
contains.
The dishes are brought in upon the
heads of jublakiars. or cooks assist
ants, and each dish is covered and
sealed with the royal seal. There are
always fifty or more dishes, and all
are set before the sultan at the same
time. He eats, usually, from about
six.
Though the sultan is himself a
total abstainer, the finest vintage
wines are always offered to such
guests as dine at the palace.
Every dish the ruler partakes of is
first tasted in the kitchen by the grand
~vizier, lest it be poisoned, and it is
Immediately thereafter that its seal
ing takes place. Always, before he
can fall to on a dish, the sultan must
break its seal.
1t is not because he eats $4,000
worth of food himself that the sultan's
dinner bill is so expensive. He eats,
as a matter of fact. no more than a
half dollars worth. But the guests
and retainers who dine at his expense
number daily several thousand.

Refuue for Travellers.

The first anniversary of the cree
ton of the statue known as the Christ
of the Andes, which occurred recently,
was celebrated by the conservation of
a large tract of land in the neighbor-
hood of the statue to be used for the
location of of a house of refuge for
travellers, in the mountains, many of
whom perish annually in the storms.
Chile and Argentina, the two nations
concerned in the treaty of peace
marked by the erection OF the statue,
are cooperating in the movement. and
the idea originated with Sonora An.
gela de Costa of Buenos Ayres. who
was also a leader in the movement
which led to the erection of the Christ
of the Andes. Only the site of this
house has as yet been secured, but the
sonora hopes that the house will come
in a few years.-London Telegraph.

SUPPER
BY B. OF R. I.


Torrance Of his duties, and hat his
efforts had been appreciated was in
deed gratifying. The party had met
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
King on Third street and gone to the
Mathison home in a body, taking bas-
kets of luncheon with them. The list
of donors included the names of nearly
every engineer on the Wyoming divis-
ion and the sentiments of the donors
were conveyed in suitable expressions
by the speaker.

Mr.. Mathison, who retires from the
board at the end of the present term,
for his faithful and able service as a
member of the board of adjustment for
the system. At one time has was chair
man of the general board. The officers
of the road, General Manager Mohler
and General Superintendent Park,
were not forgotten, they coming in for
a share of the good feeling for the cour-
tesies shown the representatives of the
engineers from time to time and the
friendly interest always evinced in this
important class of labor for the success
of the road.
Hostess Becomes the Guest.
The ladies of the party spread their
luncheon and Mrs, Mathison was made
to feel for once as though in her own
house she was a guest, but an honored
and pampered one. The evening was
a pleasant one for all.
Testimonial Presented.
Accompanying the gifts was the fol-
lowing testimonial:
"On recount of your retiring from
the head of the board of adjustment of
the wyoming division of the Union Pa
ciic, and having in mind the valuable
services rendered by you as a member
of the board, and to show in a slight
measure our appreciation of the good
work you have always done for your

Go pluck from every flaming bush
The dewy rose of morn,
And keep the Iuby-cOlored cup,
But cast away the thorn;
Retain the flowers golden heart,
But not the bitter smart.
Go look on life in every scene,
The gloomy and the gay.
Remembering the splendid ones,
And cast the rest away;
Recall the ones with love aglow.
But turn away from woe.
Go sip from all the cups of life
In all her Ways among,
But Danish all the thoughts of dregs
And keep upon your tongue
The honey. sweetest draught of all.
But throw away the gall.

Clean Yards for Swine.

Many of the hog yards found about
the country reek with filth. If swine
are to be kept healthy they should
be given clean yards. The hog is not
by nature dirty animal, even if he
does wallow in mud. 1t is doubtful If
hog cholera would get a start if the
hog quarters were never allowed to
become filthy. Many and many a
farmer has had his hogs become sick
merely from the condition of the hog
yard. When the rains fall such yards
are a mass of mud, and when the
weather becomes dry they are filed
with fine dust, which gets into the
lungs of the animals and causes
symptoms similar to pneumonia and
to hog cholera. 1t is possible on most
farms to have several hog yards. and
to keep the animals in one yard for
but short time. Such an arrange
ment is a most satisfactory one.
