Good Tip for a Rich Man.

A certain member of the Lambs
club in New York is very rich, very
much inclined to conversation about
his wealth and very economical in the
distribution of 1.-THE wealth, not the
conversation.
He was sitting at a table in the club
a short time ago with party of mem
bers among whom was Henry Dixey,
the actor.
Several rounds of refreshments had
been bought, but none by the million
aire, although he participated each
time.
Presently he said: you know wealth
like mine is a great burden. 1t is easy
enough to make money. The problem
comes in finding good investments. 1t
is very hard for me to find invest
ments. Do any of you gentlemen hap
pen to know good investment"
WELL" said Dixey, Il suggest that
you invest in round of drinks. Sat

What II the World Stopped?

Suppose that soJle mysterious pow
err, entirely mental or spiritual in its
nature, and of a high order of intellect,
a mentality or soul absolutely ac
Quainted with the human mind even
down to minute details, should desire
to make an announcement, a statement
to mankind in general, how would it
proceed to attract attention? l have
thought of a few ways or methods
which could attract the attention of
man. Thus, suppose that at exact noon
in the observatory in Washington or
Greenwich, all the telegraphic instru-
ments on earth should instantly re-
fuse to work. Let every wire on land
and in cables beneath the sea cease to
act. Let every key come to rest and
every sounder be silent. Imagine this
silence to continue five minutes. The
attention of all telegraph people would
be attracted and then that of newspa-
per men. Let ten minutes pass, and
business men would hear of the phe-
nomenon. Let the trouble continue
during an hour, then everybody living
in cities might hear that the tele-
graphs were lifeless. In one year, per-
haps, half Of the human race would
hear of the MISUNDERSTANDING.

Saved by Fathers Breath.

Extricated from beneath a load of
hay, to all appearances dead, a r.
year-old boy, Fred Crockett of Pot.
ter's Bar, Middlesex, England, owes
the preservation of his life to the
breath which his father blew into his
lungs. The boy was swinging on the
end of a cart of hay standing un.
horsed by the side of a rick, when it
suddenly overturned, completely bury.
ing him. Some children gave the
alarm, and the boys father hurried to
the rescue. Some time elapsed, how.
ever, before the boy was dragged from
under the hay, apparently dead. The
father adopted a method of revival
which he had used on animals in ex.
tremis. II drew his mouth into
mine," he explained, "and blew with
all my strength, getting my wind into
the boys lungs" A neighbor took
turns when the fathers breath was
exhausted. After ten minutes they
noticed twitching of the muscles OF
the child's face, and the heart was
felt to beat. For two days he re.
NAMED unconscious at the cottage

LADIES HAVE STRANGE PETS
English Leaders Of Fashion Exhibit
Fondness for Peculiar Dumb
Companions.

Some pretty rough things have
been said about the affections of Eng
lish aristocracy from time to time, but
the recent accounts of their household
pets are about as incomprehensible
as any of their other foibles. The
greyhound and the long silky-eared
spaniel are thing of the past. The
duchess of Marlborough Is said to
have special fondness for serpents.
She spends days also in. the park at
Blenhelm with the gazelles, which
in her society seem to forget their
traditional shyness. Her other pets
are grotesque looking pelicans, which
may be seen about the shores of the
ponds. Lady Warwick, the titled
Socialist leader, especially loves white
animals, and in her grounds at War
wick are white peacocks, all kinds of
white birds, even a white elephant.
Her special treasure is a white par
rot which is said TO be more than a
century old.
Lady Cadogan has a famous collec-
ton of snakes. She is able to drape
that they serve as jewelry. Among
her pets are two trained lizards.
Lady Cottenham nurses with great
care her dormice, and Lady Churchill
is said to be happiest when her croco-
die is near her. Lady Hopes pet is
an ape from Senegal, while Mrs. Rose
Hubbard, one of the most popular of
the women in Mrs. Keppel's set,
raises geese. Miss Rosa Boughton,
one of the most liked of the unmar-
ried girls in London society, insists
upon taking to all the houses that
will allow her a hyena that she
brought from Constantinople and has
tanned.

Organized Thought.

To-day there is no such thing as or.
ganized thought. The thought Of the
world is tumble, mass of unsystem-
atized mental effort, with no meaning,
no sequence, no end, no deliberate re-
suit. 1t should not be SO. 1t can be
changed. We have organized thought
and that thought can be moral, health
full, cheerful, beautiful, successful.
The world should have the benefit OF
this truth. 1t is high time. The Unit
ed States is in a position to begin and
within a generation or two, yes. in
ten years, some pretty plain indica'
tions will assure us that by organic
ing thought we have added to the
joy, peace and prosperity of our coun-
try Thought is definite force. 1t
has been asked If there is any way to
avail ones self of it for ones advan-
tage We can. The average thought
of the people to-day is what we may
call desultory, casual, without any es
pecial aim and utterly out of harmony

POISON SPRAYS
BENEFIT APPLES
Those Who Use Arsenate of Lead
Use Too Much at a Time and
Usually Spray Too Often.

1t is very desirable to grow apples
free from worms. The codling moth
is the insect that lays the eggs in the
blossoms from which the worms are
Matched Arsenical poison sprayed on
the blossoms is eaten by the young
cooling moth worms and they die be-
fore doing any damage.
A great many fruit growers do not
spray at all for the cooling moth. It
has been found, however, by expe-
rience that those who do spray with
arsenate of lead use too strong a solu-
ton, apply too much at time and
usually spray too often. Four pounds
of arsenate of lead to 100 gallons OF
water make an amply strong solution.
A greater proportion of the poison Is
an actual detriment and waste.
The apple tree does not have to be
soaked with the poison mixture to kill
the larvae of the moth. The minut-
est drops of the liquid on the calyx
of each blossom will effectually do
the work. The fineness of the spray
is no more Importance than the quaint
ity used. Each blossom should re-
ceive little. Some in spraying apply
so much Of the liquid that it runs
down the branches and trunks to the
roots of the trees, where it does
injury.
In most cases two or three pounds
of arsenate of lead to 100 gallons o.
water makes solution strong enough
to destroy all of the worms If applied
in the right way. Two sprayings at
the right time are sufficient, and a
saving of material and labor. The
general notion that arsenical poison
on the trunk and branches of trees is
beneficial is mistake. On the other
hand, they do positive injury. and
many trees thus treated die from pois-
oning.

Don't Let Soil Crust.

Do not let the soil form crust. It
is at such times that the evaporation
Of the moisture is very rapid. Run
the cultivator through the corn to
prevent this condition, and the ofton-
er it is cultivated the better the crop
will do. Such cultivation puts fine
dust mulch upon the surface which ef--
fectually prevents evaporation excep0
at very slow rate. Anyone that has
examined a well-cultivated field has
been stuck by the dryness of the
surface. and only few inches
below 1t was almost wet enough to
make mud balls. After every rain it
is necessary to break up the crust
that forms. In this way moisture
enough may be accumulated to tide
over the period when 1t is needed
most. little shower often does con-
siderable damage by destroying the
dust mulch, and 1t should be restored
as soon as possible.

Then the tree may still have too
many branches. In removing them,
avoid cutting entire branches origin
ating directly from the trunk, which
would make large wounds. BY not
healing over quickly these wounds
would eventually makes holes in the
trunk. OF course such branches
ought to have come off while the tree
was young, but now it is too late. Be
satisfied, therefore, with thinning out
the smaller branches, taking care
that air and light can sufficiently pen
citrate to all parts of the tree and
that fruit bud development Is en-
couraged on parts which. in the COM
ing summer and fall, will be able to
support the weight Of the rfuit.
All this having been done, 1t will
nevertheless be important to pick
over the fruit after it has fairly we'll
formed. Break out all the small and
unsightly fruit; it is certainly more
profitable, be il from the commercial
standpoint or simply for home use,
to have one big, juicy, well-formedl
well-colored and well-ripened apple
than four or five small, unsightly and
unsavory ones.

Really Unkind.

The hoardings on the town hall
we're covered with advertisements of
the forthcoming concert, which was
to be given by what was described as
the cream of local talent. Lower down
on the boarding was a small placard,
which announced, "No dogs admitted"
Evidently wag must have passed
that way after the shades of night had
fallen, for next morning the notice
referring to the exclusion of the can

as follows: "By order of the r. S. p.

THE RlCKEY AN INSPIRATION
Popular Summer Drink Evolved by
Washington Politician, Aided by
Barkeeper.

Ask the average man what earthly
use there was for the lime prior to
the advent of the rickey and he won't
written history. Ask him also who in
vented the rickey and he will prob
ably say that he has a vague recollec-
ton that il Is in some way associated
with somebody's man by the name
of Hickey, or something of that sort.

of his death the greatest OF all drinks

all the liquid relatives of the same
family name.

and simple. Col. Hickey had friends

thing to put this fire out"
How about little gin, colonel?"
suggested George.
Sounds fair to middlin'," replied
Col. Joe, "but don't you think it
ought to have something in it to keep
1t from spontaneous combustion?
Wonder how a lime squeezed into a
bit of it would go? Sound cool to
you, George?"
1T mightn't be so bad, colonel,
said George. "At least it's worth try

Prof. Fosters theory that pain is essen

There are isolated cases where great
works have been accomplished by persons
who were suffering mentally and physic-
ally, but the best work of the world has
been done in the main by persons who
were physically and mentally healthy and
happy. 1t is not likely that troubles made
the work of Washington or Lincoln more
effective, and Poe probably sought the flow-

to have happy, comfortable home. That
statement looks selfish, too, doesn't it?
But look farther. To have that kind of a
home there must be love, and that takes
unselfish regard for each other. To make
a home comfortable it must be comfortable
for your husband or wife. That takes
more unselfshness on your part. Chill

unselfishness. You must care for them,

A writer speaks of the low nature of

1t is not SO much the lack of composers
as it is of the people who appreciate higher
class songs. The modern public desires
melodies of this nature; in fact, the ma
jority would not understand any other. If
the songs that were popular two score
or more years ago were produced to-day
they would, no doubt, be jeered at and
ridiculed. Surely the admirers of most of

HOW HILO DID UP
THE POLLARD TEAM

HILO, May 2O.-The friendly game
of cricket played last week between
the Australians (Pollards) and the Hi
lonians resulted in an easy victory
for the local boys by one innings and
10 runs. The bowling of Frazer and
Jim Mckenzie, combined with some
excellent fielding on the part of the
Hilo players, was too much for the
Antipodeans, who were put cut in al
most /, 2, 3 order, only G. Chester, w.
Pollard and Goulding showing much
form at the bat. For the Hilonians,
Lishman, Frazer, Mckenzie and DR..
Irwin handled the willow TO advan-
tage, proving that they had not for
gotten their batting days. The field
ing of Lindsay and the Hilo baseball
boys was excellent. Jack Easton ran
up an effective score of a dozen runs,
putting the ball across at every swipe.
