MOSQUITO MEN
MUST Be POLITE
President Mott Smith Wants the
Nearby Support of the
Community.

President Mo,t-Smith, as beginning
of the work of the active mosquito cam
paign, has been giving his mosquito
force a few lessons in courtesy. and the
lessons have the advantage of being
backed up by penalty for forgetting
them. DiScOurtesv on the mart of any
inspector toward any householder or
The occupant Of any house wlll be look
ed upon by the president Of the board
as all the ground that i necessary for
the summary discharge OF the luspec-
tor.
Mr.. Mott-Smth hopes to have the
hearty support OF the entire community
in the important work Of getting rid
iiof the mosquito. Without the coopera-
ton Of the community, he SAYS, the
work can be successful only to linn
tied degree.
In regard to the. mosquito and ex-
tended sanitary WORK about to be under
taken by the board of health. Mr.. Mott
Smith stated that 1T was so obvious as
not even to require mention. that any
movement for Improvement Of sanitary
conditions would be successful only IN
limited measure unless the community
Joined heartily therein: that If the com
munity acted from motives of self-in-
terest only, that was an asset not to be
| ignored or criticized: but if the com
munitv acted on the broader ground Of
| a desire to benefit others as well as
! themselves, that was an asset combined
with a substantial dividend which would
be unfailingly gratifying.'
MIR. Mott-Smith, in "A talk which he
gave to the sanitary and mosquito in
/ spectors prior to the beginning of the
actual work of mosquito inspection,
/ states that he has impressed upon the
mosquito inspectors that if there APP
reared in the course of the work at any
| time any discOurtesy on the part of the
! inspector to the householder or occupier,
! that alone would constitute cause for
! immediate dismissal; that discourtesy
on the part of the householder or Occu-
! pier would be considered as no excuse.
Il take the ground, which appears to
! be harsh.' said President Mott Smith,
"because | feel that the community
will help, too; that it Will appreciate

under what appears at the moment to
! be provocative circumstances, Will do
its best and its part to forward the

UNEVENTFUL SESSION.

Yesterday : session on the stock ex-
change was as uneventfuI as have been
most sessions OF late. There was little
trading and nothing to eniven the
monotony OF the usual routine.
Prices We're strong as they have been
for some time past and though com
paratively few buyers came forward
there were also few willing to sell.
As matter Of fact about all Of the
established plantations are in a condi-
ton which makes their stock very de-
sirahle. Cane IS growing finely. har-
vesting and grinding are going on in
a thoroughly satisfactory manner and
sugar IS going up. Shares are bringing
their owners good returns in the saape
of dividends and there is no reason to
look forward TO any great decline in
prices.

Ericsson to Captain Rosie of the
Metis, as memento of the occasion.
Miss Eriksson's pet dog, one of these

daughter, while little nervous at
first, showed great bravery, and after
the Good News went to the bottom
she cheered the men,
At times 1t seemed as though the
two little boats would be swamped by
the huge waves. A sail was rugged
and one boat towed the other. Little
progress was made, however, AND
there seemed no hope. Three days
and three nights of awful suspense
slowly passed. Only little hare
bread and half gallon of water com
prised the provisions.
A sharp lookout was kept for the
approach of a passing vessel, but il
was three days before the Metis hove
in sight. There was a mighty cheer
from every one in the shipwrecked
party when the vessel was sighted
Soon the Metis was alongside and the
exhausted crew Of the Good News
taken aboard.
And the girl was the best sailor OF
us all" said Mate McKinnon, in tell
ing of the hardships endured.

Warming Gold Dishes.

Castle Kilkenny is one of the oldest
inhabited dwellings in the world, some
of the rooms being 800 years old.
Among it's ancient treasures is a serv-
ice of gold plate. Besides the Ordi-
nary plate service, Castle Kilkenny
has the whole series of gold cups used
at coronation banquets down to the
time of George w. The gold of the
service plates is almost without alloy,
consequently very soft and easily
married; hence the plates are warmed
and presumably also washed after use
by being dipped into hot water, held
by pair of tongs whose tips have
been muff1ed in chamois leather.-Lon-

tains In Sierra Leone.
It is difficult to explain how COM
plete in normal times is the dullness
of the small villages in the protecto-
rate of Sierra Leone, on the coast of
western Africa, says a writer in the
Nineteenth Century and After. An
hour before sunrise shadOwy figures
move noiselessly through the narrow
alleys which separate the mud walled
houses and in single file pass out of
sight toward the farm lands. A little
later children and a few women leave
the houses to obtain water for cook
ing. They also go in single file and in
a short while will return in the same
manner carrying water in calabaShes,
except perchance, one or two may be
aff1uent enough to possess a tin in
which kerosene oil has been imported.
During the great heat of the DAY peo-
pie return and sit, silent and motion
less, in the matched roof verandaS.
Toward evening there is more move
ment Food time generally brightens
people even when it only means rice
and peppers. Soon after sunset all
sign of life ceases. There is no light in
the houses, because oil is expensive,
and a dying fire is enough when there
is nothing to see except those you have
seen all day; there are no sounds, save
baby's cry at intervals, or perhaps
the weird call of some night bird, be-
cauSo nnOnlo cannot talk much when
no one has anything fresh to say.
Next day will be the same, and SO will
be every day in the year except at
festival times, such as when the girls
or boys return, dancing and gayly
decked, from the Porroh Bush. There
is no church, no postman, no passing
horse or carriage and no newspapers.

snook Pictures.

Do you know how to make a spook
picture of yourself? 1t is very easy
and most interesting. All you have to
do is to write your name in ink length
wise on a piece Of paper and before it
has time to dry fold over the paper
close to the place where you have
written the name. thus plotting it and
smudging it in all directions. When
you unfold the paper you will find
nice picture of your spook. which will
be entirely different from anybody
else's spook 1t is fun to keep book
let of your friends spook pictures,
which should be signed by their real
autograph and the date.

Trapping Lions and Tigers.

III trapping these large animals steel
traps are now used. They are suried
in pits, and bait is scattered over the
top. The keen scent of the beasts
brings them to pick up the meat. and
in nine cases out of ten the trap is
sprung. The trap is not rigidiy fas-
tened, but has three pronged anchor
attached to it by chain. The animal
will run away and drag this through
the brush until it is caught. Most Of
those caught are beasts on which a
bounty is offered by the government
because they are SO destructive and
dangerous. On one plantation in Ger
man East Africa 404 beasts of prey
were trapped last year.

He Found Out,

A boy named Charles Hillyear, living
in Medina county, O., had desire to
know how it would feel to roll down
hill in a barrel. He therefore spent
couple Of hours getting an old cider
barrel to the top of long hill and
then crawled into it and started off.
Charles knows all about it now. He
was whirled around about ten thou

sand bumps and jars, and the barrel
fetched up in creek, and he was al
most drowned before they could haul
him out. 1t was two weeks before his

before he could walk without limping.
