NOW COMES "Goo GOO" eNAT
Successor to Kissing Bug Makes Its
Appearance in Philadelphia, Sting.
Ing Victims on Eyelids.

adelphia.-Although the "kiss-
ing bug" is now regarded as defunct.
a new pest has taken its painful place
in the form of an insect which has
been named the "goo-goo gnat" pend
ing more scientific classification. The
"goo-goo gnat" attacks the eyelids of
its victims. who may or may not be
ogling some pretty girl when they are
stung
The latest victim is Charles Lehr
Of Fifth street. He was standing at
Broad street and Girard avenue when
he felt an insect alight on his eyelid.
He tried to brush 1t away. but 1t held
fast. He renewed his efforts so for
chilly that part Of the insects sting re-
mained attached to the eyelid.
Sharp pains accompanied the attack
and Lehr hurried to st. Joseph's hos
pital. The wound swelled until a
lump the size Of walnut developed.
Physicians treated the wound success
fully. but 1t was attended by severe
irritation.
The "goo-goo gnat" has confined its
field thus far to the northwestern Sec
tion Of the city. Several cases have
been treated At st. Joseph's hospital.

VARIETY IN MENUS.

The one great bugbear OF menu max
ing is sameness. The endeavor Of the
housewife to produce attractive meals
with certain allowance and have va
riety, means some thoughtful plan
ming. She who has an unlimited pock-
etbook need have little worry. but to
the majority Of women the problem
of making ends meet and serving at
tractive. appetizing and nourishing
food is a daily question.
Everything is high this year. even
the plebian potato is too exclusive for
everyday use. We must learn to use
rice and hominy instead. The old
proverb which tells us that there is
no loss without some gain" Is proven
to us, as we learn to substitute many
foods for those which we have always
considered indispensable.
The great criticism made OF Ameri-
cans, and justly. Is that we eat too
much. Our meals should be simpler.
better cooked and served. The idea
that It is necessary to have from five
to six vegetables at meal is e1trav-
agant; two is plenty and three lux
ury.

People Living Near Margate
Park Unable to Sleep.
Vigorous Protest Made Against Hide
Gus Night Noises of Vanelorious
Birds, Which Foil Efforts
to Catch Them.

London.-Do you know how to catch
peacocks? If you do Margates park
officials will be glad to hear from you.
For they. the head gardener, the
chief park keeper and the various as
s!stants of Dane park, have been or
dered by the town council to catch
peacocks.
The situation is trying one For
years Dane park has had its peacocks.
They have stcutted about proudly and
spread their tails with glorious van
ity. and Margate has been almost as
proud of them as they have been of
themselves
But recently a number of people
living near the park have taken dis
like to peacocks. The peacocks, they
say, have made night hideous and ear
~ morning impossible by their cries.
The neighboring residents could nei-
ther go to sleep nor keep asleep
So they wrote to the papers and
sent petition to the town council
complaining about the peacocks. The
matter came before the parks COM
mittee and then before the whole coun-
Gil, and the result is that the peacocks
have got to go.
That, at any rate. is the decree OF
the council. But the birds have their
views. They strongly object to their
proposed etectment.
Two ct lhea. it is true. did unwarily
allow three of the park officials to sur
prisc them and capture them in lawn
tepnis net very early the other morn
sag, but the remaining four peacocks
and three peahens have so far sue
cessfully evaded all attempts made
