sending one which hope will help
to solve the problem. The OFT Of
pennyroyal will drive these insects Off,
but a cheaper method, where the
herb grows, is to throw the cat or
dog which they, infest into decoc-

herb cannot be obtained the oil can
be used. Saturate cloths with it and
tie around the neck of the dogs or

Salisbury Thriving.

Salisbury. Real estate developing
in and around Salisbury was given
an impetus, when a company offered
the Morris estate $4,000 for its in
terest in the property that joins the
city limits.
This follows closely the large real
estate transaction of last week, when
a local company bought the Hum
phreys estate.
1t is reported that the Morris heirs
asked $4,000 for their tract. 1t is
believed that the purchasing company
and the heirs will agree upon a price
and the deal will be cousummated.
This property will be cut u2 into
building sites and sold. The lay of
this particular parcel of land is we'll
situated for home building, as it is
high. well drained and is in a good
part of the city.
Salisbury has had good. healthy
boom for year or two, and the
purchases of real estate for develop
ing purposes in the last two months,
if the Morris deal goes through, will
amount to over $250,000.

TO PRESERVE FLOWERS.

If bit Of saltpeter or carbonate
of soda is put into the water in
which cut flowers are to be placed,
the flowers will keep much longer
than If they are put in plain water
Almost the same effect may be pro-
cured if little bit of plain salt is
used, although perhaps the coarser
ingredients are better.-W Washington

costume. 1t can be worn with the
coat suit or with skirt to match, and
is attractive utilized in both ways.
The model is simple one trimmed
with silk bands that give exceedingly
becoming lines. 1t allows choice of
fancy or plain sleeves, and is suited
to silk, cashmere or wolfe and other
seasonable materials quite as we'll as
to net. 1t can be made either with or
without the fitted lining, and conse-
quently it can be utilized for the sim
pie waist of flannel or cashmere as
well as for the more dressy one.
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing, which is optional 1t is made
with front and back portions, When
the lining is used it is faced to form
the chemisette, but when it is omitted
the chemisette is attached, beneath
the trimming. In case of the net the
lining Is omitted and the thin silk is
cut exactly like the outside, but when
cashmere or material of similar
weight is used. fitted foundation is
often found desirable. When fancy
sleeves are used, the plain ones are
faced to form the cuffs and the over
portions are arranged over them.

CARMICHAEL
LAID TO REST
ADAIR PASTOR Is BURIED FROM
THE LITTLE CHURCH WHICH
HE HIMSELF BUILT.
MINISTER'S PAY TRIBUTE
Praise only Accorded the Unfortunate
Preacher SuIcide-Murderer-Sean'
dalmonosers Raped by clergymen
at the Service.

In the presence of a crowd OF about
300 people from the countryside, the
funeral services for Rev. John Havl-
land Carmichael, he of the Columbus
church tragedy, were held in the little
Methodist church at Romulus Friday
morning-in the church which his own
efforts built in 1904 during his three
years pastorate in that village, and
the first funeral in which was that OF
his own beloved daughter, Oneida,
some years ago.
The ceremonies were impressive.
The remarks of the several ministers
were given more than a restricted in
terest by the hot shots" OF two OF
the reverend gentlemen, who took the
world to task for the interest 1t has
shown in the remarkable case, and
who scored the newspaper men for
their zeal in digging up facts and sup
posed facts which ultimately laid bare
the story.
The funeral party included, besides
the survivors of the Carmichael fam
lily, John NJ. Carmichael, of Wellsburg,
w. Va, the dead mans brother, John
F. Carmichael, his nephew, of Wash
ington, d. c., and Revs. John
Sweet, f. T. Leete, of Detroit; G. b.
Steele, of Port Huron, and Charles w.
Baldwin, of Detroit.
The actions of some of the crowd
after the casket, the mourners and
their friends had reached the church,
was not pleasant to observe. While
the majority undoubtedly were those
who had been members of Rev. Car
michaels congregation during his pas
torate here, and were we'll be-
haved, the element of curiosity seek
ers made itself, prominent by crowd
ing up to the front of the edifice as
soon as the casket had been placed
and trying to peer over into it, to OBJ
tain a view OF the dead mans face.
Those in charge finally got the people
back into the pews where they be-
longed.
There was no funeral sermon, but
each of the pastors present delivered
a short address. The prayer was by
Rev. Leete.
