WARD WON'T PURCHASE
MILITARY ACADEMY

Charles W. Ward. of New York city,
who has been mentioned as a prob
able purchaser OF the property at Or
chard lake formerly used for the Mich
igan Military academy, declares that
he has no intention OF purchasing
that place.
Il would not think OF buying it, he
says. Military schools have gone
out of date TO large extent. Several
important schools have dropped the
military feature. This may be due to
some extent to the fact that formerly
unruly boys were sent to such schools.
The situation OF the academy at Or.
chard lake is very good. but the build
ings are not best-adapted TO school
use. as they have been built from
time TO time and not al once on 4 com.

man.
We all regret that he is going "a

Use hot, unsalted fat. lard or olive

Hot water may be poured over them

he could run into 1t the facts about
the creation of the stingless bee and
the biteless mosquito
Along about the 9th of August
Uncle Ashdod opened the hermetical
ly sealed incubator in which he ha,
deposited the eggs of the bisquito, AZ

psted the eggs carefully, cutting each
egg in two and then gluing the rear
end of mosquito egg to the fore-end
of bee egg. He did this with sew
eral thousand eggs, and then put them
to hatch In butter tub in his attic.
1t was his first attempt at egg graft
ing, aud he hardly hoped that more
than one or two of the eggs would
hatch, but the results far exceeded his
expectations.
The butter tub was full OF bisquitos
Of the strongest quality. They were
full of vitality and they seemed to
recognize that Uncle Ashdod was a
sort of step-father to them, and sew.

Early this spring Uncle Ashdod
Clute made up his mind that he was
pretty sure to die within twenty or
thirty years, and he felt that it would
be a shame to die and not leave any
thing to carry his name down TO pos
terity, and that he ought to hustle UP
bit IL he wanted to enroll his name
on the banner of fame. The only
thing that troubled him was that there
were not many things man could do
In BetZville to make his name resound
around the world like June bug In
a bass-drum, but one day, when he
was down at the creek fishing, the
idea came to him like fash.
|. He says he was sitting there with a
grasshopper in one hand and the fish
hook in the other, ready to thread the
grasshopper on the hook, when sim
ultaneously at the same time bee
alighted on his left ear and a mos
quito on his right ear He says that
any ordinary man might never have
got an idea from that, but Uncle Ash
a flag in the breeze, and he wiggled
them. He says he must have wriggled
them too hard, but he wasn't paying
much attention to his ears just then.
He says that If he had wiggled his
ears with just slight wiggle all
would have been WELL but he must
have wiggled them mighty strong. for
