TERRoRs OF THE JUNGLE.

The Mosquitoes Of Africa Are Worse
Than the Lions.
.'The African mosquitoes intoxicate
you. They inject SO much poison into
you that you are dazed, your eyes roll
and you stagger and speak thickly.
In word. you're drunk said a mis-
sionary.
In the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the
mosquitoes an hour l. .orc sunset. I'd
set up my mosquito net with the ut
most care. I'd clamp down its edges
with valises and boxes. I'd light In
side it three green wood fires. filing it
with bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
Finally I'd get in myself I'd
smoke big pipes Of the black native to-
bacco, and I'd long miserably In that
hot, smoky atmosphere for the dawn.
Despite all my precautions quite
200 or 300 mosquitoes would get in
side my net as soon as darkness fell.
They were like whirlwind in there.
1t couldn't have been worse. Their
noise and their nipping made me
feverish-made ME really delirious at
times.
AT last, in exhaustion, I'd get few
hours Of troubled sleep, awakening
for breakfast drunk from the poison
injected by hundreds of tiny needles
into my veins.
mo; 1t isn't the elephants or the
giraffes that trouble the African hunt
er, but the skeeters." New Orleans

CUBE SHAPED CANTAL0UPEs
Washington Grower Uses Woode,
Troughs to Raise Novel Fruit.

Washington Grower Uses Wooden
Troushs to Raise Novel Fruit.
G. E. Parrish Of North Yakima,
Wash, marketed cantaloupes at, Seat
tie, Wash, few. days ago that are
perfect cubes They sold for extreme
~ fancy prices.
Parrish has been doing novel things
with fruit and vegetables for several
years, but says that his idea of grow
ing cantaloupes in the shape Of cubes
is the most practical of anything he
has undertaken. Many people do not
like the shape Of the cantaloupes be-
cause the round form makes it impos-
sible to be served artistically.
Parrish has troughs made from
heavy lumber, and these are parti-
toned to make an interior size of four
inches each way. AS soon as new
cantaloupes are seen to form on the
vines each fruit is placed in one of
the partitions in trough.
The fruit continues to grow and
gradually assume the shape of the
cubical house in which it lives. To
prevent the top from becoming round
ing Parrish places heavy cover on
the box trough in time to avoid the
trouble.

WOMEN ON POLICE FORCE.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Says Criminals
Need "Motherino"

That Minneapolis needs hundred
women policemen is the opinion of DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, president of the
National Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton, who recently addressed the stu
dents of the University of Minnesota.
She said that should the demands OF
suffragists be granted it would not be
too much to expect that women should
do their share in the police and fire
departments.
zone hundred women specialists put
on the police force of any city would
make for improved civic conditions, -
she said. "The criminal needs moth
ering.' If women were on the police
force their watchfulness, care and at
tent1on to persons who need their
wholesome influence, backed up by au-
thority, would prove most useful and
uplifting measure"

THE HALF MOON.

Duplicate Of Henry Hudson's Craft
Sent From Holland on Freighter.
The Half Moon, near reproduction
of Henry Hudson's queer ocean going
craft, which recently arrived at New
York on the Holland-America freighter
Soestdyk, was sent by the people of
Holland as token of good fellowship
to take part in the Hudson-Fulton eel
ebration commemorating the discovery
Of the Hudson river and Robert Full
toms epoch making trip in the first
steamboat
The Half Moon is built of heavy oak
timber with the high poop and long
nosed Prov now seen only in prints of
Dutch and Spanish galleons. She is
of eighty tons displacement, 63 feet
long, IS feet beam and draws ~ feet
Of water. Her crew consists of TWEEN
ty men. The vessel is rugged with
hand woven sails, will carry hand
worked flags and is antique enough in
her fittings to confuse the best sea-
man afoat
On deck there is a carved figure
head to which ropes can be fastened.
Roughly carved heads ornament the
woodwork, and wooden pump lends
an ancient air to the ship. Forward is
a raised deck, and in front of that the
prison, whose inmates were drenched
every time the Prov dipped under
water. Two cannon are mounted
amidships on the tween decks, whose
ceiling is so low that one has to bend
nearly double to get along, and port
holes on either side allow these weap-
ons to be used.
A library, or, rather, bookshelf,
has been fitted up. 1t contains the
books which Hudson took with him
Bible, prayer book and books Of
voyages. A chart Is spread out on
the cabin tables, and near at hand are
compass and measuring instruments,
sandglass and the rough nautical in
struments of the time. A gun or two
in a rack and pile Of shot and bags
Of powder are shown, together with a
copy Of the supposed contract which
Hudson had with the Dutch East In
dia company, the original being lost
The old Dutch East India company,
which had it's chief Office in Amster-
dam, caused all it's vessels to be
marked with the initial letter Of the
port from which they sailed, and on
the stern of the duplicate of the Half
Moon the letter "a" indicates this Gus
tom. Other signs painted on the ves-
sci include starry heaven, with COM
et,, planet and a half moon. Below this
is the name on a scroll in Dutch, de
Halve Maen,' while underneath are
the arms Of Amsterdam and of the
company.
Lieutenant Lam, who will play the
part of Hendrix Hudson on the Half
Moon, will be clad in the style of cap
tains Of such vessels in the beginning
Of the seventeenth century, and the
men under him will be dressed in the
fashion in vogue in Holland at that
period. a s

Homemade Ink.

A good ink is made in this way:
Bruise half pound Of nutgalls and
stand in one quart Of water, shaking
it now and then, for about four hours.
Then add three ounces and half of
gum arabic and when it is quite dis
solved three ounces Of copperas. To
prevent the ink from becoming moldy
when kept add three or four drops of
creosote. This gives pleasant-like
smell to the ink and does not corrode
the pens as chloride Of mercury would
do.

Fishing In a Missouri House.

The unusual sport Of catching fish
in his own residence was the privilege
of Jefferson Nichols Of Butler. Mo.
Nichols and his family We're driven
from their home by the recent flood.
Returning to ascertain how much dam
age had been done, Nichols saw many
fish swimming around in the down
stairs rooms, where the water was still
more than foot deep. He barricaded
the doors and in less than an hour
had caught more than 300 pounds of
tlsh, which found ready market, ow-
ing to scarcity of fresh meat. One fish
weighed thirty-two pounds.
