Injury from Mosquitoes.

Now Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
BY the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
tons ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where. and the tendency was TO sell
out But tho owners were not ready
to quit without fight and an i'm
proyement society was formed which
consulted with my office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk of
the breeding area was drained, mos
quitoes have since been absent ri,
most entirely; one gentleman, not a
large owner, either. told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 In value,
ard new settlers began TO come in.
This year one Of the worst breeding
areas of the oldcu day was used as
camping goruud. and 100 new resi-
dences are planned for next year

Finn, tired Of the excitement of the

Facts About Firecrackers

The greater part of the almost
100000 worth of tirecrackers annu.
ally exported by China comes to New
York And the United States stand
next to China in its use Of them.
Thousands of Chinese men. women
and children work at the making OF
tirecraCkers, for there are no manu-
factories there, the work being done
by hand They receive only about
sl4O for making 10000 frecrackers
laboring from six in the morning until
II at night seven days a week.
So a Chinese woman or child works
like a slave for two days to earn wha,
is spent on a few punches Of tirecrack
crs by The urchin bent on doing jus

THE REOF HANlZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board Of Trustees OF the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance com
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president Is
Darwin p. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
Of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president Of the com.
pany Is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter Of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.

others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment Of work. VIM. Z. lngersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the cCmpany's great business in
Europe, is one Of the second vice pres
dents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval In life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal Of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had S2,000,000 900 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50, 100000 year (Which Is about
one.half the New York Life formerly
did, the companys outstanding bust
ness stin exceeds 81 600, goo 900.

LITTLE CAUSE FOR WORRY.
Mora or Less Glittering Bait Held Out
to Cow Punchers.

Over in the Salmon river meadows
country, in Idaho, ranged a wild and
woolly bunch Of long-haired COW
purchers, whose knowledge Of the
world was confined mainly to trips
after cattle into surrounding counties.
into this reckless but verdant com
munity there came the smooth,
tongued representative OF wild
west show, who hired several riders
at high salary to do a hair-raising
act, the chief feature being that they
should appear to be thrown from their
horses and dragged by the foot.
After they had practiced in corral
for while one Of them loosened
himself and rising from the dirt, dis,
hcveled and dazed, inquired:
Say, mister, amt this ruther dan
gerous? We might git killed"
That's all right" chirped the
shows representative cheerfully.

Big Fire
Cracker
The explosion that wound up tho
Fourth of July Celebration
on Cooney Island.

Two mammoth tireCraCkCrs stood in
the window Of Cascy's grocery. They
were II inches long and proportions
ately thick
For a month before the Fourth Of
July these gigantic indicators OF en-
thuslasm had stood in the window like
British soldiers on dress parade, while
a predatory spider hung a iilmy ham
mock between them and calmly killed
his buzzing victims over two powder
mines.
The hrccrackers were the adwira
ton and the envy OF all the boys In
Cooney Island, It was seldom that a
youthful nose was not nattencd against
the window pane in ardent coyctous-
ness
But the price demanded by Casey
for the thundcrcrs was prohibtiyc, 50
far as the boys were concerned, and
there was not one Of them patriotic or
courageous enough To invest % cents
IN n single cCstatic explosion.
Said Mickey Finn timidly one even
ing when he had been sent by his
mother to get quarter of a pound OF
tea and hair pound Of pork:

Fashion would seem to have the
blues, and yet to suffer no depression
therefrom, but indeed, TO welcome
them with gay enthusiasm. Every
shade Of blue is worn and many are
combined in more or less happy union.
Distinctly happy was the alliance of
a blue wolfe gown of deep China blue
with a peacock blue hat wreathed
with blue roses, the costume being
completed by blue kid gloves taking
almost a royal tone.
I hate colored kid gloves. | DO not
think there is any garment upon
which fashion could smile which has
the power to arouse in me such ire
as the sight of brightly colored kid
gloves. and yet | have been informed
on reliable authority that the colored
kid glove is upon us, and that we are
to welcome in turn blue gloves, green
gloves, violet gloves and mauve
gloves.

the various tones of biscuit almond

with a blue serge dress and black
