GUS measures until after the fields
were swarming with mice. The fail
ure, then. has been due partly to lack
of cooperation and partly to lack of
knowledge of quick, cheap and effec-
| tive measures. Without witnessing
such plague one can hardly form a
conception of the almost incredible
numbers of mice and of the magni-
tude of the task of destroying them.
Among methods of little value which
have been tried in other countries to
rid the land of these scourges are roll
ing the land with heavy cylinders,
trampling it by cavalry or by droves
of sheep, liberating large numbers of
cats and injecting water, steam or suf-
locating gases into the mouse bur-
rows. Many measures practicable on a
small scale or of value in the early
stages are entirely inadequate for the
suppression,of well established plaques,
particularly where farms are as large
as in the United States. Among such
methods are digging trenches or pit
falls wider at the bottom than at the
top, into which the mice fall; killing
by means Of traps. clubs or dogs, burn
ing off the heritage in infested areas
and flooding the fields. The eimina-
ton of these leaves as methods gener-
ally applicable for suppressing plaques
only two. the employment of disease
and poisoning.

Why Water Quenches Thirst.

Thirst. word of Anglo-Saxsn origin
and akin to the Latin torreo and our
torid or parched. describes a peculiar
sensation of dryness and heat located
in the tongue and throat. Artificial
thirst may be produced by the passage
of current of air over the mucous
membrane of these parts, but normal
thirst is the consequence of lack Of
liquid in the system. The agony Of ex-
treme thirst is due to the fact that all
the tissues sympathize in this distress.
1t is then as a refreshing relief that
a supply of water comes to thirsting
lips, replacing what has been lost. cool
ing the parched palate and rapidly
removing the craving which has de-
pressed the system. In short, water
Quenches thirst just because it supplies
what at the moment is wanting and is
most eagerly desired, so that Solomon
could properly compare the gift Of
cold waters to thirsty SOUP to the
advent of good news Thirst is to
some extent appeased by the injection
Of water into the blood or body. though
no fluid touches the part to which the
sensation is referred.

Wrapping Fruit In PAPER,

Any method of handling apples that
hastens the ripening after the fruit is
packed shortens the period of CONNER.
cial value. Any treatment that checks
the ripening prolongs the marketing
period. The value of wrapping apples
in paper has been tested in both sea-
sons by the experiment station of the
Iowa College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts. The comparison was
made with duplicate quantities of fruit
that were grown and handled in the
same way. One lot was not wrapped,
and with the other each apple was
wrapped in imprinted newspaper.
With some varieties like the Gano,
Roman Stem, Salome, Winesap and
other hard, late ripening sorts the
advantage of wrapping in paper was
not very apparent. But with tender
varieties like the Clemens, Jonathan
and Wealthy a wrapper was a dis
tinct advantage in extending the life
Of the fruit, preserving its natural
brightness and lessening the amount
Of decay. A wrapper serves to reduce
the bruising that may result from poor
packing or from rough handling in
transportation. 1t retards shriveling
Ind adds to the value of the fruit by
preserving its attractive appearance.

The Salvation Army's Name.

The adoption Of the name salvation
army" came about in a curiously un-
premeditated way. writes Commander
Eva Booth in Van Norden's Maya
zine. AS the head of the new move
pent Mr. Booth had gathered around
him men who were as one with him
and acted as his secretaries. One day
be was walking up and down his
study, debating, when he used these
words:
sThe Christion mission is a volunteer
army"
He paused in his dictation and look
Cd thoughtfully over the shoulder of
bis secretary at the written line, took
up the pen. scored out the word "vol-
unteer" and wrote above it salvation"
and went on debating. This was the
inst time the word was used. and it
made such an impression that it began
to be thought as an appro-
pirate name for the mission. 1t grew
upon the Imagination of men. They
liked it-liked it so well that they
inally adopted 1t.

So 1t was agreed between them that

had promised to and that as soon as
the marks OF the examination were
posted the next morning he should
make his proposal, asking her to defer
her answer until later in the day. In
the course Of the morning the Kid
should make his plea, and that night
they would know their fate.

A large crowd of students had al

enough-"M. King, 80 per cent" He
felt sudden sense Of defeat. Stan

come out at the head of the list. He
pushed his way aimlessly away from
the others.
Suddenly he came upon his chum
walking slowly toward him.
II ought to have known you'd win
her," said Stanton.
The Kids happiness was tinged with
deep pity for his friend.
"Have you asked her?"

she was just about to accept some
