MADE DRUNK BY MOSQUITOES
Small Pests, Not the Wild Animals,
Are the Real Troubles OF the
African Hunter.

1.-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 a word. you're drunk" said mis-
sionary.
sIn the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the
mosquitoes an hour before sunset. I'd
set up my mosquito net with the ut
most care. I'd clamp down it's edges
with valises and boxes. I'd light inside
it three green wood fires, filling 1t
with a bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native
tobacco, and I'D long miserably in
that hot, smoky atmosphere for the
dawn.
Despite all my precautions quite
200 or 800 mosquitoes would get in
side my net as soon as darkness fell.
They were like a whirlwind in there.
1t couldn't have been worse. Their
noise and their nipping made me
foverish-made me really dclirious at
times.
cat 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, it isn't the elephants or the
CRATES that trouble the african hunt
er, but the 'skeeters.

TWO ACRES BURNED OVER
AT MOHEGAN PARK.
Believed Fire Was Started by Boys
With Firecrackers-Fireme Called
Out.

At Mohegan park on Friday there
were about two acres of the grounds
bprned over. as the result, it is be-
lieved, of boys with irecrackers. Su-
perintendent Duff found that he was
unable to check the flames, and a. call
was sent TO the fire department, and
they spent constable time there be-
fore the fire was put out.
Quite a little damage was done by
the fire. The use ~of frecrackers and
infamnable material in the park
should be carefully guarded by those
having it, and with everything there
so dry it would be wise to stop the
use of fireworks there. CareIeSSn eSs
causes damage which it takes years to
reDlace.

Cooking Versus Piano Playing.

A distinguished man said the other
day, at the opening of new school
of domestic science: Though speak
not from personal experience, but
putting myself in the position of a
working man who married, l would
infinitely sooner be certain of eating
a good dinner than of listening to an
Indifferent pianist 1t seems to me
there is often more emphasis placed
upon piano playing than there is on
the more homely. but certainly more
useful, Offices of domestic life." Per-
fectiy right, good sir; but you won't
convince Conservatory pupils, or the
aspirants for culture" in the outly-
ing districts, that good dinners are of
the least consequence compared with
their music lessons!-Bostoh Herald.

Remedy for Burns,

For burns apply linseed oil and
lime water. From experience I have
learned to keep a bottle of this rem
edy in the kitchen with soft, clean
pieces of old muslin, right where I
can get them without a moments de-
lay. Apply the oil Immediately, and
bandage so that not a particle of air
can reach the burn, and If it is just a
skin burn no blister will form. Even
if it is a deep burn this will give i'm
mediate and complete relief from
pain; but of course physician should
be summoned at once If the burn is
severe-Exchange

DESTROYING Locusts.

The method of exterminating To-
Gusts most generally adopted in Pan
anna has been to dig a trench about
fifty feet in length. two feet wide and
one foot deep, with perpendicular
sides, in which the locusts are driven
by men beating the grass and trees
with switches. In this way millions
are collected and are destroyed with a
solution of strong I've soapsuds. The
trench is then refilled with earth SO as

Based on a judgment of the SUI
preme court a decision rendered by
Judge William H. Williams last week
in the short calendar session of the
superior court i'll the case of the
Grand lodge, A. o. U. w, of this state,
against the Grand lodge, A. o. L. w,
of the state of Massachusetts, settled
d hard fought legal contest The de-
cision rendered by Judge Williams
awards the plaintiff the Grand lodge
of Connecticut, S25,113.42. The state
lodge also receives the costs, which
amount to $125.25.
The granting of the motion for
judgment in accordance with the in
structions of the supreme court of err
rors settles one of the most interest
ing cases Involving fraternal orders
heard in state court. The case was
over a division of funds connected
with the orders. The proportion OF
the divided funds which each lodge
should have, caused the litigation.

HOW TO USE SCRAPS OF CRETONNE

OF the design to be attached. After
apply the cretonne spray and press it
down with the fingers.
For curtains cream colored net or
ecru Is often used rather than plain
white. and when the background of
the cretonne is cream or ecru the cur
tains have quite a hand painted effect
In a chintz furnished room the Gre
tonne scheme may be carried out in
plain coarse meshed, net trimmed with
cretonne designs to match the rest of
the chintz. and the effect is even pref
tier than all cretonne. Dainty trifes
such as pincushions. box coverings and
fancy work bags win always be well
coined as birthday or Christmas pres
ents.
Another new kind Of needlework is
called "Florestinan." The difficulties
which this new work present to the
intelligent worker are few and consist
in mastering two small details. The
first of these Is to hold the wire. which
is covered. to make the carnations
as seen in the illustration-with the
thread so that the wire is concealed.
A little practice makes T. IS quite easy.
II is first holding the wire as you
would the padding cotton in Irish
crochet The second detail is the bind
ing of the stems. Stems have always
been crocheted or embroidered before
this work originated but in the Flor
estinan work they are bound. This is
much better, as It makes the work
more adaptable The carnations are
done with mercerized thread, fine wire
and a crochet needle.

I F you have odd pieces OF cretonne left
over from house draperies. etc. do
not throw them in the scrap basket,
but fold them carefully until you have
time to use them for the new cretonne
art work. II is a long time since any
needlework novelty has proved so at
tractive as this treatment Of cretonne
flowers on net. for the coarse mesh
forms the foundation and the flowers OF
the cretonne are put on TO show
through.
Suppose you decide to make a dress
ing table cover. Take a strip OF coarse
white plain net and cut It the exact
size required. The edge OF this should
be either bound with narrow ribbon or
else with frill OF lace. Another idea
is TO use a fiowered ribbon In keeping
with the design. When the cover Is
ready for decoration cut out the sprays
OF flowers from the cretonne. A pretty
arrangement is TO start a large spray
in one corner. letting II stray across the
net TO the opposite corner. The sprays
OF flowers. II not long enough. can easi-
ly be increased by other flowers. A
charming table center had little French
wreaths tied with ribbon and scattered
at regular intervals all along the edge.
All this was cut out Of cretonne. and
the whole effect was extremely pretty.
The cretonne motifs are pasted on
the net face downward. and for this
the pasting has been done carefully
