The Panama Mosquito.

The famous Panama mosquito with
a record Of perhaps a greater number
of deaths than that of the late con-
fIict between the japanese and Rus
slams, has been conquered. Joe Nit
chell Chapple tells about it in his
great story which will appear in the
National Magazine for April. The
following is a paragraph from his
story:
While we were there, it was report
ed by n of his guests at the hotel
that mosquito" had been discover
ed, and Immediately Inspector LIE
Prince began to think of sending for
the lizards to eat it up. Much has
been said of the insect pests on the
ISthmuS. l was not there long
enough to gain much experience in
that line, yet | did discover that
residents have to guard against the
white ants, which rapidly destroy all
articles of soft wood. 1t sometimes
happens that a chair will look all
right until someone sits upon it,
when down it comes with a crash,
having been completely hOney-comb-
ed by the white ants. Soft wood is
often perforated by these pests SO
that it is a mere sponge, easily pene-
trated by the finger. For this reason,
hard wood only should be used for
furniture and other articles. Yes,
the tropics have their terrors as we'll
as their luxuries. The negroes have
to be careful of their feet, because of
''chigoe,' or digger" which works
its way under the nails of the toes
and hands, giving more or less pain,
and likely to cause dangerous ulcers.
The army ants will encircle a build
ing and go right through it, if not
barred out. eating everything that
has life, and have even been known
to devour an unprotected baby. They
enter a house and remain a few hours,
cleaning out rats, mice and cock
reaches, and then leave as suddenly as
they arrived-but no living creature
that they "a overwhelm escapes
them.

Improve the Roads.

Unless the road overseers do some
work on bad places on the mail route
roads, the order has gone forth that
all such roads should be avoided and
no mail delivered. The poStoffice de-
partment is going into the good road
business and we are glad of it. The
rural mali route roads must be kept
in good condition according to orders
from Washington, or if not, the rural
route carriers are ordered to skip
such roads and avoid them until they
are made passable. ROAD o%verSeers
must do something and do it now.
Road machines, drags and a little
drainage will do the work.

Some day an enterprising man, or
woman, will open a bank where dc
positors are not required to tell their
ages. Then what rush of women
investors it will have! After all, it
does seem that some system might be
devised better than the absurd and
embarrassing catechiSmS to which
feminine depositors are now subjected.
It is interesting to know that it is
not necessary to tell the real age, pro-
vided the woman gives something APP
proXimately correct, and takes the pre-
caution of remembering what she has
given. On the witness stand women
are not often asked to tell their ages.
When questioned such an answer as,
81 am of legal age" WIZ satisfy the
court A judges decision in a case
where a woman refused to tell her
age was that she could not be sworn
to it, as it was something based en-
tirely on hearsay evidence, since at
the time of Dor birth the defendant
was too young to have had any knowl-
edge of the event. Women don't like
to tell their ages, and there is no rea-
son why they should be required to
do so. As Bronson Howard SAYS in
"Aristocracy," 1.-THE woman who Will
tell her age will tell anything" And
there's something in that too.

Society has realized that the CONVEX
Sationists are no more, and it is
said we may now look for improve
ments along this line. In London con-
versation has become so much a lost
art that women are taking up its study
seriously. A woman who advertised
in a London newspaper offering to
give lessons at so much per hour re-
ceived nine answers the first day. Her
charge is $25 a week for two hours
conversation each day. When fash
ionable America takes up this new fad
conversation classes will form 8 source
of revenue for many bright and needy
women.

Quakers Who Have Given Their Sect
Much Trouble, Even Rejecting
an Arbitration Decree.

Amboy. Ind, Oct; S.-The commit
tee appointed at tfe Indiana Yearly
Meeting of Friends, at Richmond, to
adjust the difficulties over the location
of a church here, has held a meeting
in AmbOy. but as yet no definite con
clusion has been reached. The Friends
of Amboy three or four years ago
decided to build a new church. Two
locations were proposed and two fac
tons developed, a party of the mem
bers deciding to erect the house on a
new site.
The minority appealed to the Yearly
Meeting three years ago. Both fac
tons agreed to submit their differ
ences to arbitration, and when com
mittee decided in favor of the new
site, the minority refused to abide by
the decision. A new subscription foi
building the church was taken, and &
structure costing $4,000 is now prac
tically completed. The committee from
the Yearly Meeting will endeavor t,
settle the difficulty.

Minor Observations. :: :: ::

The many crimes of violence recent
~ reported suggest that we are living
in the midst of an epidemic of such
things. That there are epidemics of
crime has been proved by observation.
The most CHASTITY feature of this one is
that little girls have in the majority
of cases been the chief victims. Now.
is it possible that mothers are to
blame? Are the children of the poor
not sufficiently well guarded? 1t
would seem so. The fact of the mat
ter is most children are allowed to
roam about or play upon the streets in
city or country town with so little SUI
pervisiOn on the parents part that it
is a wonder there are not more TRACE
dies instead of so few. 1t is true
that many mothers are too busy to
play the part Of nursemaids to their
children, but they can train them to
stay in the yard, or if they live in a
fiat join the other mothers in the house
in contributing enough to make a safe
playground on the roof if the landlord
won't pay for it. In large cities chill
dren need more Fairgrounds where
they will be under the supervision Of
a responsible older person. That par
ents appreciate having them SO cared
for is shown by the popularity of
recreation grounds and vacation schools
wherever opened. The present is a
good time to start 8 campaign in favor
of the establishment of such play
grounds in every community.
