HoFF coNoueRs CONSUMPTION.
Homo Treatment Advocated Instead
of Banishment.

Instead of binding heavier burdens
on the consumptive and sufferer
from asthma by Punishment to the

home treatment with the simplest
indications brings about the best re-
suits
The American Bureau is distribut-
Ing gratuitously valuable treatise on
asthma and consumption which con-

diet, exercise, hygiene and medicinal
treatment for the cure of these mala.
dies. 1t also points out ways and
means by which it may be safe to
come in contact with the consumptive
patient.
The establishment of the American
Bureau is the result of the wonderful
achievements of Prof. Hoff, of the fac
ulty Of the University of Vienna,
whose success in the treatment of
consumption, asthma and catarrh is
little less than marvellous. His the
cries are to be promulgated in the
hopes of stamping the Great White
Plague from the continent.
The pith of this little book has been
copied by local boards of health, and
by addressing the American Bureau,

the book will be sent free to any suf-

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.

She was Japanese college student
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
The kiss" she said, blushing faint

ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
yet it comes as a great shock at
first. 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in Japanese girls ex-
perience. / have known maidens who
tainted at first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western en-
brace
Frankly, like the kiss myself. It's
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock-yes, frank
ly, I like the kiss, and l find it ex-
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight
lightful an embrace.

ARMY OF CATERPILLARS
is DEVOURING FOLIAGE

FOLIAGE on Washington's trees is
Il being devoured wholesale by an
army of tussock caterpillars, the
larvae of the tussock moth, and ap-
parenty nothing can be done to check
the rayages of those now doing the
damage, though precautions can be
taken against repetition of the pest
next year Aiding and abetting the
tussock caterpillars are the cohorts of
the "fall web worms" which are by no
means so numerous, but which, never
theless, are doing an immense amount
of damage.
For many years the tussock cater
pillar has been the most serious of the
.shade-tree pests in Philadelphia, New
York, Brooklyn and Boston, but it was
not until 1895 that 1t appeared in
Washington in sufficient numbers to
be regarded as a menace to the foil
age. In that year also the fall web
worm was more abundant in this city
than it had been since 1886. In 1901
the pests of both kinds again appeared
in great numbers, and now there is
another invasion, giving period OF
six years between each great attack.
Hitherto the chief check upon the
insects has been the parasites that
come in great numbers in the same
years that the caterpillars abound and
destroy most of the multitude of eggs
laid by the pests. Destruction by

EVERY street car in this country
II may be made a travelling postof-
flee before long. Such plan is now
under consideration by Second Assist
ant Postmaster General McCleary,
with the object of still further improv-
ing the mail service.
Mr.. McCleary's idea is that when a
person writes letter the sooner it is
on it's way the better it suits him.
If mail facilities are still further i'm
proved the man will write two let
ters where he now writes one and
the government will receive just that
much more revenue. Postofices on
street cars, he believes, will place the
writing public in close touch with the
postal department and the convent
ence will add materially to the gov
ernments income.
The system has been tried on the
line between Minneapolis and St.
Paul and has proved successful. Every
car on that line is equipped with a

QUENTIN HAS FUN WITH
SNAKES In WHITE HOUSE

w caused chills to chase up and

peared in the presidents Office with
two live snakes coiled about him.
Quentin is somewhat impetuous, es-
pecially when on roller skates, and he
skated into the office of his father,
who was having conference with At

tin approached. the snakes hissed and
the attorney general side-stepped with

Saw It Come Out of a Cow.

A little city boy and his sister Dor
othy were taken to the country for
the first time.
The two children were happy as
the day was long. In the late after
noon they watched the COWS come
home, heard with delight the tink-
ling cow-bells, and the little boy
even went in the barns to see the
milking done.
At supper, just as Dorothy was
lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the
boy cried out:
"Oh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't
drink that milk. It's not fit to drink.

gliding up the sleeve of the presi-
dents son. In the most gingerly man.
ner they took hold of the collar of the
boys coat and gently removed the
garment, taking care to keep out of
range of the snake. Disdaining rescue,
Quentin seized his coat, and while he
toyed with the squirming reptiles
skated outside, where a party Of
women visitors were thrown into hys-
terics at sight of the snakes.
Quentin brought three snakes from
Oyster Bay with him. He found that
he could not take care of them prop
erly and turned them over to an ami
NAL fancier. But Quentin got lone
some without his snakes, and the fam
cier loaned him a king snake and a
smaller reptile. Quentin went to the
executive offices to show his new
treasures to his father, who observed
that the king snake was about to
make meal of the little one, and
warned his son to be careful to pre-
vent such calamity.
Quentin finally left the White House
to the great joy of everybody there.
His father remarked to a caller that
Quentin's taste was inherited, for he
not only liked snakes, but had scotch
ed few in his time.

but a small percentage of the eggs put
out of business.
Trees of which the foliage has been
injured or even totally destroyed by
these marauders may be seen on al
most any street of Washington, the
caterpillars attacking by preference
poplars, soft naples, elms, alders,
birches and willows. But other trees
by no means escape their depreda-
tions, though the gingko and tulip are
almost immune. Besides destroying
the foliage, the caterpillars are often
sively intrusive, invading the homes
of the residents and otherwise becom-
ing nuisance.
AS usually seen, the tussock cater
pillar has two big, hairy protuberances
like horns sticking out of where his
forehead would be If he had one, and
another one-really two close togeth-
er-projecting like the rudder of an
airship. He is excessively hairy and
ugly, and his hairs are stuck in loose
ly and are apt to fall out on any per-
son upon whom he drops, causing in
fiammation and swelling. These hairs
are finally tangled up in the silk as
the caterpillar weaves his cocoon, and
become part of the egg receptacle,
leaving the caterpillar a smooth
worm," not ''woolly one" and look
ing far unlike his original hirsute self.

them literally. The cars stop to re-
ceive letter, the same as a passen-
ger. If the scheme works well where
it has been tested, Mr.. McCleary can't
see why it will not work we'll on all
street car lines. At first the system
may be installed only on the main
street car lines of the various cities,
but will be extended gradually to- take
in all the lines.
The cost of the service is to be
investigated. Officials at the depart
ment are of the opinion the expense
will not be great, as the street car
companies will no doubt furnish the
necessary letter boxes and permit
their conductors to handle the mail.
In many cities street cars are now
used to transfer mail from one postal
station to another and the postal au.
thorities believe the system for the
collection of mail can be successfully
developed.

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HuMoR.

Wit and humor are such elemental

some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel.

that wit is perception of resem.

contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru

arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per.
