FISH EAT THE MOSQUITOES
Hawaiians Have Solved Problem OF

Hawaiians Have Solved Problem OF
| Exterminatin1 Them.
Hawaii is more enterprising thar
New Jersey. The people in New Jer
sey still sit on their front porche
summer nights and use most Q
their energies fighting the mosQuit
oes. The only method they have evel
adOnted of combating that insect
is to build fires and trying to drive
him away with the smudge.
Hawaii for years was bothered
with mosquitoes just as much as New
Jersey. But the people over there
were too busy TO spend their time
making a smudge or swiping at the
insects. So they began to look about
for method of eliminating the
pests. They have found it at last
They let the fish do the work that |
the people of New Jersey do them |
selves. They discovered that what |
are known as "top-minnows,' which |
propagate in Texas streams in abun- |
dance, are a deadly enemy of the |
mosquito. These fish make special |
ty of finding the breeding ground OF |
mosquitoes and eating up all the lar
vac and young mosquitoes. Millions |
of these miuuows were taken from !
Texas to Hawaii and put in the va |
rious svamps, rice fields, bitches and |
reservoirs. and they and their pro- |
geuy have completely solved the mos
quito problem OF that island.

Sir Joseph Hawley on three occasions
won from $4,000 to E6o. 600. viz: On.
Teddington IN 1851, Musjid in 1859 and
Beadsman in 1865. He would have won

amount on Hermit in 1867, but did not
get Half Of it.
Mr.. Merry was said to have won

amount was 10000.

colt Barbarian was beaten by Daniel

The COLLEGE Girl. R..eue.

~ believe in a college education for
girls" said Admiral Erbin. at a dinner at
Jamestown. u the girl who comes out
Of college thinking that she knows a great
deal has not proffted by her four years
course. For. after all. It is but a smatter-
ing that a college education gives US.
Most girls know this. Many d. not.
The latter sort carry themselves super
ciliouslyA use big words. correct ignorant
persons grammar. and fail to make q good
marriage. In fact. they create a bad i'm
preston everywhere.
Thus there was a girl. a vassar girl,
who got caught by the incoming tide out
on . rock. The tide rose higher and high
or. and the girl shrieked and screamed
mDdly for help.
Help came at last in the shape Of a
grissaed old shellback in a fiak-bottomed
boat. The girl, as soon as she saw the
shellback. recovered her poise, and said in
her most Affected manner:
".Ah. I knew some succor would come
II I but continued calling indefatigably.'
The shealback scowled.
"'Wall. MISS he said. II that's how We
express yer gratitood. the sucker'u be
burned II he don't row back without ye.'"

pErrus's IMPOSING DIGNITY.

S~chooImaster His school,.
Willis j. Abbot in August Munsey's. 8
senator Pettus was always q champion
q the dignity of the senate. When the
chamber was in disorder-that Is. when
conversation among the senators had
reached a point that interrupted business
the mere suggestion on the part of the
presiding officer that the junior senator
from Alabama should be called to the
chair was sufficient to bring order. When
he presided he handled the senate as a
s~choolmaster conducts his school.
II Is to be said that this regard for leg
islative dignity is much more characteris-
tic OF the southern members than OF those
from the north and west. The southern
ers seem to feel that the high traditions
OF the sena are worth preserving Look
ing upon a seat in 1t as a great honor they
strive so to act as to indicate that tho
honor was merited. l wish l could say
the SAME for all their colleagues from 9TH
e sections; but they seem. too often. to
regard the enate as more or less of q pri-
vate asset. which can be utilized for per-
sonal advantage.
1t has been laid in recent years OF Nor
gar and Pettus that they almost consti-
tvted a third party in the senate. At tho
same time. they were far from acting as
4 unit. on: every issue that came before
them. Two old-line democrats as they
were. residents of the same town. and
friends for sixty years. they were by no
means identical in their political opinions.
1t must be remembered that in the south
the a%ntagonism between individual demo-
Gratis is sometimes as great as that IN the
north between the democrat and the re-
publican. When Mr.. Pettus said of Sena-
tor Morgan, II lave been his associate and
adversary over sixty years. he said some
thing which would be almost inexplicable
to The average northern man.: but 1t is the
polite expression Of a positive fact The
two enator differed so often that a flip
pant newspaper article not long ago sug-
gested that their one bond 81 union was
q comMon fondncss for chewing tobacco.
But of neither man has 1t ever been said
that he was anything but absolutely hon
est and high minded. Against neither has
1t been charged that he represented any,
thing in the senat except the people Of
his state and the people OF the United
States. Their strongest political adver-
sartes in the senate regarded Morgan and
Pettus with sincere respect and warm per-
sonal afection-a fitting tribute to states
Of so admirable a type.
