CENTIPEDE CRAWLS
IN WONLAN'S EAR

Mrs. Jack Reynolds had nerve
racking experience the other day
when a centipede dropped from the
ceiling and crawled in her ear while
she slept The incident awakened
her almost Immediately but she
did not know what sort of a ten
ant she had. After considerable
probing with hairpins and other
implements, in despair she poured
a quantity Of whisky into her ear.
This had the desired effect and
the many-legged reptile finally came
out
At first Mrs. Reynolds thought
she had been bitten, but if so the
liquor counteracted the poison, as

nESERVED PRAISE.

Kansas started war on the common
house fly and the battle has been taken
I'D by nearly every state in the Union
or Doc Crumbine, as he is known IN
the west, started the hostilities. Crum-
hine was made secretary of the Kansas
state board of health several years ago
and at once started to send out bulle-
tins. He muck-raked the house fly and
did 1t so well that the whole common
wealth fell upon these little pests with
a vicfousness that knew no quarter.
"Crumbine realized that the common
house fly was a distributor of innumer-
able filth and loathsome disease germs
in it's movements from garbage piles,
cesspools and stables to sick rooms"
writes F. D. Coburn in the June num-
Der of the American Magazine, ''and
exposed food supplies, and proceeded to
inaugurate his famous Swat the Fly
campaign in which everybody has
Joined until in Kansas the fly, like tho
dispenser of strong drink, is an outlaw

tious official can render If he has his

tious, modest, tireless, intelligent Sec

Lord Brougham's Dream.

Lord Brougham was one of the
most stubborn believers in the com
mon sense" explanation of ghostly APP
pearances as dreams. At Edinburgh
university he and an intimate friend
drew up an agreement, written with
their blood, that whichever of them
died first should appear to the sur
vivor Years passed, the friend was
in India, and Brougham had almost
forgotten his existence. Arriving late
one night at an inn in Sweden, Broug-
ham had a hot bath, and was going
to get out of it when he looked to-
ward the chair on which he had left
his clothes, and saw his friend sitting
on it. Brougham seems then to have
tainted. On getting homo, he received
letter announcing that the other had
died in India at the vary time. Yet
this incident, which most people would
put down to telepathy, at least. was
dismissed by Brougham as a mere
dream and pure Observation-Disclosures

Machine to Bottle Wind.

Peter Homishak has invented a ma
chine to conserve wind power and
three other men have Joined him to
put it on the market in st. Louis. They
are Frank G. Mann, Charles G. Bryan,
and w. E. Mckinley. all of Hot
Springs, Ark.
They intend to build factory in st.
Louis, where they think the supply OF
wind is practically inexhausttble.
Homishak says his machine will
store wind just as easily as beer, eggs,
and electricity can be stored. He built
a wind motor while he was working
on a ranch in Oklahoma. 1t worked
well when there was wind to furnish
the power, he says, but wren there was
a calm it went off the job.
There was a lot of wind going to
waste, he says, and he set himself to
the task of bottling 1t up so he could
use it on still days He says the device
has been perfected and that his ma

COUNTIES NEED HOME RULE.

Through a mistake in some branch
of the machinery of the last legfs-
lature On act that was passed by both
houses was not enrolled and delivered
to the governor. Hence it has failed
to become a law. And it was legisla-
ton that was sorely needed in several
counties. 1t gave counties the right to
dispose OF the old poor farms and poor
houses and purchase new farms and
erect new houses. The failure of this
law will handicap many counties in
making most desirable improvements
for the care of their INDECENT citizens.
But the fact that the counties should
have to go to the legislature to get
permission to do anything of this sort
is ridiculous proposition, and one for
which there can be no excuse. The
right or the desirability of substitute
ing new poor farms and houses for the
old ones that have outltved their USE
fuIness IL purely a local matter, one
that should be determined finally by

great delay in the bringing about of

There is no good reason why a gen

necessary authority and power they
need to transact all kinds of county
business. They can be depended upon
to use care and discernment in han

Hens Lay Scrambled Eggs.

Tarrytown hens are Matching an I'M
usual crop of deformed chickens this
spring, and the heavy blasting across
the river is responsible, according to
well known poultry men. The disco
very was made by Irving w. Coates, of
Kendall avenue. Mr.. Coates had So
high grade eggs in his incubator, and
Matched out only five chickens. These
were particularly deformed and Mr..
Coates was puzzled.
He happened to be home when the
blasting was going on across the river,
and as each report reached this side
he noticed the chicks putting their
legs against their ears. At first he
thought the chicks were saluting him,
it being the fiftieth anniversary of the
civil war. and the blasts sounded like
cannon in the distance. But as they
continued TO hold their legs against
their ears until the blasting was over
he realized what the trouble was.
Mr.. Coates believes that while they
were in the shell they heard the noise
and the constant raising of their legs
to protect their ear drums was the
cause of their deformity. Eggs that
have been placed in incubators refuse
to hatch, and there promises to be a
big shortage in the chicken crop this
spring.-Tarrytown dispatch to New
York Herald.

Farthest North of war.

A point at the stone wall on Gene
terry Ridge, familiar to all visitors to
Gettysburg, Is correctly enough point
ed out as "the high water mark of
the rebellion The rebellion sent its
spray farther north. The Confederates
during their advance in 1863 entered
Carlisle and York, but neither of these
marks their northernmost progress. A
bill now before the Pennsylvania leg
islature proposes to convert Fort
Washington, in Cumberland county,
into public park as a memorial of
| the farthest point North attained by
any Confederate force in that memoir
able year. Fort Washington is across
| the SusQuehanna from Harrisburg,
about miles from the capitol. Here
the Confederate advance was stayed
by the concentration at Harrisburg of
a large force of militia. Harrisburg
was spared q visitation of the invaders,
though for few days It seemed pos
sib1e that the city might get an ex-
perience of real war it would long re-
member. It did see a sxirmish at
Sporting Hill in which the more ven
turesome of the Confed crate scouts
were driven back. This was on June
so, before Gettysburg had sealed Lees
fate, and when even PittSburg was be-
ing fortified.
Pennsylvania knew more war than
any other Northern state. The great

THE GRADUATE.

And fluent French can speak;
She wrangles like an Oxford don
In Latin and in Greek;
She's up in all the starry lore
That glitters in the sky;
She's perfect, too, In algebra,
And stands In music high.
She's full of Rants philosophy,
She's clever at a verse,
And half of William ShakeSpeares plays
She's able to rehearse;
She dabbles in her leisure hours
In art for arts own sake,
And she can make a better bread
Than mother used to make.
