HOW TO Kill. WEEvILS.

Carbon sulphide will kill the
weevils in your corn or COW aeas.
You use one pound of carbon bi
sulphide to each 100 bushels of
grain. Carbon bisulphide is q
very volatile liquid, the fumes
given off are heavier than the
air and settle down through the
corn. Iou must either have n
very tight bin or crib Some use
a large sheet and cover the corn
and bottle of bisulphide and claim
it gives satisfactory results. Lime
scattered over your corn when put
in the crib will generally keep
weevils out. II you use carbon
blsulphide it will all evaporate in a
few days aud then you remove to
open or uncover. Do not carry
any light around while fumes are
being given off, as they ignite and
you may have an explosion. There
is no danger after few days, for
the fumes will be gone.

ALCOHOL A SOURCE OF rIUCH
IMPORT.

In considering industries her
it would be well to take up tn,
subject of denaturized alcohol
According TO all accounts W,

"That there is wordertu
future for denatured alcohol as
an illuminant, aside from its
proven value tor motive power,
| have no doubt" remarked
Mr.. Geo. ID. Scott, expert on
the construction of pressure and
gravity lights, few days ago.
This opinion of MIR. Scott,
and his subsequent observations
on the subject, are founded on
experiments he has had under
way for the past several months,
comparing the adaptability and
efficiency of alcohol with that
of gasoline and coal oil for
lighting purposes.
81 have been experimenting
with high proof denatured
ethyl ALCOHOL" said MIR. Scott,
"and ] find that nearly double
the lighting capacity is shown
by the alcohol, or in other
words, that where a given
amount of gasoline or coal oil
will burn in a lamp for II hours
the same measure of alcohol
will burn in that lamp approx
mately ID hours. Further, the
luminosity Of the alcohol is
such that brighter and purer
light is obtained than from the
other illumnants. It's other adj
vantages are the lack OF oder,
no smoke, and greater ease OF
ignition. And more important
still, the use of alcohol in pres
sure and gravity lights will re-
move all dangers at present
prescribed by the insurance
companies against gasoline and
kerosene.

REVENUES
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-10-18

cd Polish lady, the Countess Bnnska, and the adventures in which they figure are far from edifying. Frau Bluthner is represented as having small regard for Ter marriage vows.
 The complaint before the court repre- sented that this picturing of the complain ant and his wife was particularly injuri- ous because, although it was wholly un- true, 1t was woven in the narrative with a mass of actual occurrences, in which re al people exactly described took part. and which happened in actually existing places also exactly pictured. Thus the reader who knew some of the incidents i.i the story to be occurrences in real life, would naturally infer that the doings ascribed to the couple called Bluthner but modelled on the complainant and his wife were equally veracious.
 The author, through his advocate, de- nied both the mpropriety of the book and the intention to libel. Every character in it. he alleged, was a creation of his i'm aginatioG. The doings were, in earnest fashion. a revelation of the social life of the day The case was considered by the court in private for two hours before the revised sentence was imposed. By way of satisfaction for the aggrieved IN" and his wife, the court ordered that official publication of its finding that the book was l!bellous should be made in Grune wald.

pumpkin flowers there are two tapes, in- t19duced to mislead the searcher and to add zest to the game.
 A play that is much like jack straws, yet different, and entirely in keeping with the Halloween spirit is enjoyed by first roasting chestnuts, and if there is grate fire in one of the rooms where this de- lightful task may be done the pleasure IS so much more real. All the guests must toast nuts and to put life into the oper- alton an award should be offered to the person who roasts the greatest number Tn a given time. When enough for the game have been finished they should be piled in the center of several small tables around which the players gather, and, armed with miniature garden rakes, each one must fish nuts from the pile the trlck being not to move any except the deslred one Naturally this Is difficult, Tor at the slightest quiver a player loses his or her chance At the end the one who has succeeded in landing the greatest number of nuts should pet a prize.
 'eNitch'' is a game to which there is at taehed a bit of mystery, for the guests, armed with tripods and the proVerblal boiling pots, start out in search or the witch The couple lucky enough to ma her wins the prize. and incidentally mas the set complete. The tripods used may be AeA7hNiNNN
 tripod fashion with a tiny wire. These should be wrapped with brown paper or stained a wood color, so that they will look more natural. The pots may be made of black tissue paper, put on over wire frames, or tiny metal ones' such as can be purchased for favors, may be used. Before the witch can be sought these are distributed among the guests The men are given tripods, and the women the pots and to each of these playthings is attached some sort of plaid ribbon. The exact colorings of the checks and stripes are alike on only one pot and one tripod, and these must be matched before the couples begin to hunt.
 Instead of bobbing for apples first core them, letting the guests assist with the work, put in a penny for luck, or some small favors tie a stout bit of tWine through the center of each piece of fruit and attach the strings to the chandelier or ceiling where they will hang free. Put them at such a distance from the floor that each guest will have to stand on tip toe or jump to get bite, and when their hands are securely fastened behind them let all the boys and girls begin. The one who first gets away an apple and gets out the favor with his or her teeth should receive a prize.
 Decorations for Halloween parties may be elaborate or as simple as hostess de- sires, for anything so long as 1t is char acteristic, is appropriate. A room orna- mented with pumpkin vines made of green and yellow crepe paper, with small pump kins containing lighted candles, Is an ef- fectve finish for a dining room Autumn leaves stuck in the corners of an apart ment and vases filled with bright yellow golden rod, make an attractive decora- ton for a St. Agnes eve function.
 Witches, skeletons jack-o' lanterns, strung on black ribbons and festooned about a room and above a table, make a stunning ornamentation.

LIBEL IN GERMAN NOVEL.
"Nervos" Pictures Real People Too
 Faithfully, So Author Goes to Jail.

From the New York Sun
 The Criminal branch of the Birlin Court of Assizes spent a whole day lately re- viewing the novel "Nervos' (Nervous), by Julius Karl Fischer, with a view to de- termining first, whether 1t was immoral, and secondly, whether it was libellous. The result was a judgment that 1t was both. The author was sentenced to four months in prisonment and the court order ed the destruction of the forms from 1s shich the book was printed so as to pre- vent the issue of any further edition or 1t. Fischer had already been sentenced in another court on April 19 last to three months Imprisonment. The case was card on appeal, with the above result of an increase in the penalty.
 The scene of Nerves" is laid in Grune- wald, suburb of Berlin, and it was al- legged in court that the district and the personal pecuiarities of a number of peo- pie living in 1t are described in the story with photographic fidelity, so that the residents of Grunewald could not fall to recognize the identity of the characters.
 One resident in particular. a man of in- dependent means, whom the Berlin news rapers discreetly describes as "N.," recoB n:zed himself and his wife as Herr and Frau Bluthner, who figure very unen- yiably Tn the book. Frau Bluthner Is a5- sociated in the story with warm blood

FOR HALLOWEEN,
Games of Mystery In Which There Is
 Plenty of Fun.

From the Washington Star.
 Frolicsome games and those fraught with mystery, in keeping with the spirit that prevails on Halloween nights, are the ones that successful hostesses plan for their guests, for every girl who entertains on that occasion knows that something out of the ordinary is expected by those she has invited for ta festive eve. Not to disappoint their eG ations, original games and tricks appropriate to the char acter of St. Agnes, who is supposed to rule on the 30th of October, are thought out and old plays are revived, given a modern setting, and are as attractive as if every one had never seen or heard of them before.
 A simple and unusual game and one that is greatly enjoyed where fifty or a hundred persons are to play, is called Pumpkin Vine" The object is for each player to unite and untangle one vine and finally arrive at the lighted pumpkin at the end that is hidden in some out-of- the-way corner in the dark. The first who finds his or her pumpkin wins the prize. The finding of the gift should not lessen the interest others take in discovering their pumpkins, for each of these hollow rinds should contain box of bon bons or a small favor in addition to the tiny light ed taper.
 The properties for the game of Pump kin Vine consist of numerous long pieces of green tape representing pumpkin vines These are knotted and twisted together so that untangling and untying them will be difficult, and at intervals of every three or four feet on each tape there will be a yellow petal securely fastened and made to look like a pumpkin flower, on which the word right or wrong" will be printed. If right" is on the flower the player will realize that he or she is on the road to the pumpkin, and if wrong is seen then the only course Is to go back, find the last petal stamped right and discover another tape lead irg out of 1t, for out of some of the
