Bugs Destroy Timber.

Bugs have undertaken to finish up
the Michigan lumber industry. Lum-
Der men have awakened to the fact
that the formerly despised tamarack
and hemlock are valuable now since
the pine has been cleared away and
some more B fortunes have been
planned. The insects, too, have
found that tamarack and hemlock are
good. Bugs that feed on the foliage
and a beetle that works its way into
the wood are doing great damage to
the standing timber and an effort is
being made by the state authorities
and the government to devise some
way of stopping the slaughter. Prof.
r. II. Petit, of the Michigan Agricul-
tural college, has returned from a
tour of investigation in the northern
peninsula. The only known remedy
for the beetles are woodpeckers, but
the beetles burrow so deeply that the
birds cannot get at them.

CARE OF SILK HANDKERcHIEFs.
Precautions Necessary During the
Process of Washing.

In washing silk handkerchiefs care
ihould be taken to prevent their turn
Ing yellow. A silk handkerchief
should never be boiled, nor have any
soap rubbed upon it.
Make lather of finely shredded
white soap and water, wash and
squeeze the handkerchief in it, press
out all the moisture, and dry quickly
in the sun; ironing them while they
are still damp, but not wet.
White silk handkerchiefs used as
neckties are sometimes cleaned very
well with dried and powered starch in
which little powdered blue has been
mixed.
The handkerchief is spread over a
clean linen cloth, and with a pad of
clean white linen the powder is rub
bed over the silk, then busted out, af-
ter which, with a moderately hot iron
and two folds of slightly damped linen
laid over the silk on the right side.
the handkerchief is ironed, which
brightens 1t considerably.

Chat.

A gentleman once remarked to
Henry, Prince OF Prussia, that one
rarely found genius, wit, memory and
judgment united in the same person.
Surely. there Is nothing astonishing
in this" replied the prince. Genius
takes its daring flight toward heaven
he is the eagle. Wit moves along
by fits and starts-he is the grasshop-
per. Memory marches backwards
he is the crab. Judgment drags along
slowly-he is the tortoise. How can
you expect all these animals to &C. In
unison?"

When you have a small piece Of
cooked steak on hand, hardly enough
to serve alone, try this PLAN Moisten

wished. Put the bits of steak on the
toast and pour the gravy over all.

Boxers Not Bothersome.

Boxer difficulties having disappeared
for time at least, DR.. and Mrs.
Harry Canright, Battle Creek mission
aries at Chentu, West China, have set
tied down to their work on broader
plans than ever. The Boxer uprising
upset many of their plans as their hos
pital was partially destroyed. some of
their leading helpers murdered, and
they escaped death themselves only
by hiding in an attic for several days
while the murderous Chinese hunted
for them. DR.. Canright has charge of a
large new hospital at Chentu. $500
miles up the Yellow river, where the
Canrights have spent Is years, during
which four children have been born.
In one day recently DR.. Canright gave
treatment to 101 patients.

Cheap Rates Increase Travel.

Owing to the recent rate legislation

Under the new schedule-to note one

The management of the fair is

Homework and Physical Culture.

There are plenty of women who
scorn Homework, but are devoted to
gymnasiums. Now, the best of all
around, indoor exercise is to be found
in the manifold duties of housekeep-
ing. busting, even cooking, bring
more than one set of muscles into
play, and none of them is more de-
structive to the beauty Of the hands
than gymnasium work and outdoor
games. We are not advocating the

ties, without assistance of any kind.
but of parts of them. OF course, If
you have liking for the work, and
the strength, do it all if you want to,
but this is not advisable unless lack
of money is the inducement. There
are so many ways in which time can
be proftably spent.-What-to-Eat.

INSPECTOR Is Economical.

State Oil Inspector Benjamin, who
is soon to be succeeded by Frank T..
Neal, of Worthwhile, probably holds the
record for economical management OF
the office. His personal expenses for
a quarter Of year are generally not
to exceed $15 or $40. This includes
stationery, postage, travelling ex-
penses, express. telephoning, tele-
graphing, etc. During the last quar-
ter he expended s3.66 for travelling ex-
penses. With this sum he purchased
a railroad ticket to Lansing and re-
turn, and expended so cents for two
lunches while in the city. There was
no street car fare, hack or hotel bill
for the inspector during the quarter.

Town PoIlced by Soldiers.

Ludington is policed during the en-
campment by provost guard of so OF
the boys in blue. 1t is a safeguard
against disorder which brought many
favorable comments. Thousands of
visitors have poured into the city
and among them many unsavory char
acters. The soldiers have already
done good work in repelling crimes
and disorder. The reception to Gov.
Warner was formal and brilliant. 1t
took the form of supper and ball at
the Stearns hotel. Many ladies were
present from the city and elsewhere
in the state and all the officers were

Storms Disturb Encampment.

Another of those wind and rain
storms that seem to have become a
regular feature of the annual en-
eampments of the Michigan National
guard descended on camp McGurrin
Monday afternoon. For several hours
1t rained steadily and at times so Wig
orously that IL was difficult to see
across the parade ground. Nearly
the whole of the brigade was out on
the post problem when the first of the
cloudburst occurred and it was a very
bedraggled body of officers and men
that waded back to camp. About the
only consoling feature OF the days
doings was that the wind was consid-
crate enough not TO blow down many
tents, so the soldiers were able on
their return from the maneuvers to
mitigate war horrors to the extent of
donning dry clothing. 1t has been
suggested that II future encampments
are to be marked by the same sort OF
weather as this years tour OF duty,
rubber boots and umbrellas be made
part of the uniform. The weather

dampness made it necessary to post
pone the Thielmann and military
order of foreign wars-pistol matches.
DR.. F. w Schumway, secretary of the
state board of health, inspected the
camp and pronounced the sanitary
arrangements excellent. He concurred
in some reco- lamentations made by
Lieut.. Col. Henkel, chief surgeon, for
betterment along certain lines. partic-
ularly in the water supply. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather, Gov
Warner did not come to camp, but
was met by Coils. Stewart, Mortgan
and Watson, his personal aides and
escorted to the Stearns hotel in Lud-
ingtoH, where accommodations had
been reserved for him. The governor
was guest of honor at a reception
given by the citizens of Ludington in
the evening and this reception was
followed by military ball at the
Stearns. Both reception and ball ware
largely attended by officers of the Ma
tional guard and civilians.
