MAKING FLIES FLY OUT
German Method Of Treating Moths
Will Apply Also to the House.
hold Eest8

Those terribly scientific people, the
Germans, are utilizing the common
phototropism Of insects to slay OBJ
5ecttonable moths by the ton. They
set a light, of just the right size and
brightness, where it will attract the
moths into the sphere of influence of
a vacuum fan. After that, nothing re-
mains to, be said concerning the
moths.
The common fly is much less sensi-
tive to light than the moth; neverthe-
less, he is sufficiently phototropic to
be vulnerable. Every housekeeper
has noticed that on certain cloudy
days her flies collect on the screens
and window panes, as If they were
trying to get out. It Is good plan
to let them.
In fact, one can usually, after a lit
tie experience, no matter what the
weather, clear room of flies by the
obvious device of opening the window
and letting them fly out Clures.

The Courant is not surprised
that the senatorial vacancy
has proved the POLITICAL un-
doing of John Burke. Hereto
fore the governor has been
ably by his foxiness to sidestep
and put the other fellow in the
hole, but the Johnson vacancy
called for show down and the
affidavit-faced one was forced
to 60 on record. What he did
is now matter of history. For
three weeks he kept half a
dozen or more applicants on the
anxious seat, being too weak
and vacillating to turn any of
them down. When finally his
backbone stiffened, he thre w
to plum to an outsider, whose
chief qualification was the
readiness with which he had
furnished the governor with
the sinews of war in past cam
paigns. Turning down Cashel,
the choice of his own party,
flirting with his political bene-
factors-the insurgents, he
finally passed up half dozen
democrats who we're entitled to
consideration and appointed
the man with the BARREL

The governments bureau of
statistics has just given out it's
annual preliminary estimates
on crop results from which it
appears the spring wheat yield
this year was 291, ,848, 600 bush
els as against 226, ,694, 600 bush
els last year and an average for
the last five years Of 237, 791, 900
bushels. The oat yield was
9S3, ,61S, 600 this year, 8O7, 1866, 900
last year and five year average
of S70,251, 900 bushels. The
entire wheat crop for the
United States for this year ran
about 100000 bushels over
last year and about $4,000, 900
bushels above the five year
average. In quantity the ag-
gregate crop production of the
country is two percent greater
than last year and about nine
percent greater than the avera ge
for the last five years.

GREEN CORN on THE cos
New-Fangled Aids In It's Eating
Should Be Discouraged, Says
the Epicure.

The taste for green corn, like that
for the symphonies of Ludwig Won
Beethoven, is not universally diffused
among the races of men. The Scotch.
man, though he eats oats with gusto.
regards corn as feed rather than q
food, and the German, busy with his
rye bread and sauerbraten, has no
time to master the difficult art of eat
ing it. @.
Certain misguided persons, in an ef-
fort to spread the cult of corn-on.the
cob, have recently devised ingenious
hooks and prongs for holding it to the
face, says the Baltimore Sun. The
Idea OF these inventor seems to be
that the prejudice against corn among
many races is due entirely to the
risks attending the orthodox method
OF eating it. The new.fangled corn
hooks make the operation so simple
that a novice can master it in one les.
son. When they are employed the
fingers do not touch the ear at all. In
stead, 1t is safely impaled like q
beetle on pin, and so all danger to
tne clothing, eye and surrounding
public is removed.
Despite the apparent refinement of
this device, we are unable to approve
1t. TO get the true flavor of green
corn one might eat it in the manner
followed for centuries by those cpl
curean eastern shoremen who are the
acknowledged Raphaels of the art. If
the fingers do not touch it, how can
one get the full measure of it's elec-
trio warmth? With steel prong
piercing its vitals, how can it appeal
to the imagination? With all danger
of its sudden flight removed, where
is its old romance? Away with all
such mechanical impediments to po-
et1c eating! AS we'll kiss a pretty girl
through sieve!

two tablespoonfuls of flour or corn

Add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and
extracts of lemon and vanilla until
each flavor is distinct Beat this to-
gether until we'll mixed, then add two
teacupfuls of sweet milk and one of

lard and flour thoroughly, using just
enough cold milk to form dough.

A SPACE Saxer.

The housekeeper is sometimes at q
loss for a convenient way to keep
small meats such as chops, hamburger
chopped meat, stew meat or liver, un-
ter is not commodious or there are
many demands upon it's space. For
keeping any of these or even q small

size required by the quantity Of meat
at hand will be found much more east.
" handled than a plate or bowl. Pre-
serve Jars, with well-fitting screw top
to keep the meat from the air as well
as ward OF contact with the other
provisions, are excellent. Less space
is occupied and the danger Of the
meat becoming tanned is minimized.

HYGIEN|C CARE OF TEETH
Correct Way of Brushing Them Is Un
known to Very Many
Persons.

1t would surprise many women who
consider themselves hygienic in the
care of their teeth to know that they
were not. Cleaning teeth three times
day is Of little avail if it is not done
correctly. Brushing may be actually
harmful If too rough or in such a d.
rection as to push the gums back
from the teeth.
Clean the teeth at least twice a
day, preferably after each meal. New
er neglect it before going to bed, as
when the mouth is quiet and there is
no flow of saliva dental decay is most
active.
Keep your tooth brush hygienic. Let
1t hang where it will get sun and air;
wash 1t occasionally in a good disin-
fectant. Throw it away at signs of
loosened bristles. One of these lodg-
ing in the throat may give serious
trouble.
Brush the teeth gently with a ro-
tary motion so the bristles will pene-
the teeth and gums, as much harm
is done in this way.
Never neglect to brush the edge of
the teeth, also on the inner surface.
When not using rotary motion
brush downward on the upper teeth
and upward on the lower.
If your teeth are at all irregular
use dental floss or a quill toothpick.
A metal pick is apt to injure the teeth
and gums and the wooden ones may
splinter. Remember that three-fourths
of the trouble with teeth commences
between the teeth.

THE LAND HUNGER.

James w. Witten, of the
general land office, in an in
terview in the Washington
Times: We had 10000, quar-
ter section honesteads in our
lottery on the Standing Rock
lands and 81, 900 people regis
tered in person at the six places
of re egistration, for chance to
draw. At Aberdeen, South
Dakota, alone no less than
$1,000 registered. They came
from all over the country, but
mainly from Iowa, South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Illinois, Wis
consin, Michigan, Indiana and
Ohio. Everybody in all that
great valley is wild to get land
more land. They know that
the supply of cheap land will
soon be gone forever, and the
eagerness with which every
opportunity is grasped is al
most unbelievable. A very
few more years and there will
be no more cheap land, say
nothing of homesteads.
The wonder to me, in all
these drawings | have been
conducting, is the number of
people who come from cities.
They want to get land in order
to be able to leave the cities.
You could talk a day with the
people who came for that draw
ing and convince yourself that
the cities were about to be turn
ed inside out, to distribute their
millions over the the face of
the new west. There were two
railroad engineers from St.
Paul who wanted farms 50 they
could leave the road and settle
down and get something

from Sandusky, Ohio, waited
day after day throughout the

name would be called. At last
on the afternoon of the closing
day, as the last numbers were

went to the bulletin where the
names Of the lucky ones were

coming over the names. What |
was her surprise to find her
own name among the earliest
called ON the first day. She
had drawn one of the best |
claims in the entire list, but
had not heard her name when
it was called.
The people are going with
plenty of money; they build
good homes right at the out
set; they introduce fine stock
and plenty of it; and they are
going to succeed as their
predecessors could not do. The
day of pioneering is past. Two
