TRAPPING MOSQUITOES.

The Awful Pleasure of Jerseymen.
tHarper's Weeklv.)

s..s~. tHarper's Weeky)
"A New Jersey farmer opened the
deer shooting season last week by kill
ing two men with a single discharge
OF his shotgun. He was an mex
perienced hunter. The papers say the
woods in New Jersey were full that
day November - of inexperienced
hunters, very many of them, aston

The connection between alcohol and
deer shooting seems obscure Evil
IDENTITY they don't belong together
Though the farmer who shot the two
men was entirely sober. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the Jerseymen make
holiday of the opening of the deer
shooting season; and that the alcohol
goes not with the shooting, but with
the holiday. They seldom take
holiday. it seems. and when they do
they take it with all the trimmings
Triple armored hearts they must have
to go into the woods with rum bottles
to hunt among droves of hunters
armed with deadly weapons duly sup
plemented with more rum bottles! 1t
is TO lament at their ideas of pleasure.

get much practice in pleasure taking.

EXCELLENT FOR SUMMER.
Canvas Houses Conveniently Arranged
Make a Good Home.

Vacation problems and the need OF
summer home were met by Adeibert L.
Splitter of Toledo, O.. in rather mover
manner. saws Phil NJ. Riley in Country
Life. Up the Maumee river at a con-
yenient distance from the city, Mr..
Spitzer has located his summer home,
which consists of four separate de-
tached houses. three of which are ex-
clusively for sleeping
All are of heavy canvas stretched
over frames of pine with board floors
raised about two feet from the ground.
Each building has two canvas roofs,
one about eight inches from the other.
This makes the room cooler and pre-
vents leaking, in case of a severe storm.
The canvas is made in sections and
fastened with screw-eyes. Thus NOV
ing in or out is simple matter. At
the end of the season the canvas can
easily and quickly be taken down.
leaving only the wooden frame exposed
to the weather during the winter Re-
constructing the house upon the return
of summer is equally simple.
One of the houses is given up entire
Nv to the living and dining room with
its adjoining kitchen. The former. a
high. airy room, is 1Sx34 feet giving
ample space for every necessary COM
fort of the ordinary summer cottage.
Almost the entire upper half of the
side walls have been left open to admit
light and every breeze that blows, but
these openings and the doors as well
have been screened and provided with
canvas curtains to close them in
stormy weather. Nearby and con-
nected with the living house by mar
row wooden path, are the three Sleep
ing houses. These are 12x14 feet. with
bathrooms SKI feet attached, and are
built exactly like the living house.
Wide screened windows on opposite
sides ensure free circulation of air.

JAPANESE GARDENS.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

It's such a great gift not to be bored by
good people that nobody has it.
When a woman wants advice from a
man she'd better give it to herself.
a man takes his party politics so seri-
ously that the Ten Commandments be-
come joke to him.
Girls have very fair understanding of
many things till they get married and
their husbands revise their knowledge. Z
A widow can grow more excited over
getting engaged for a second wedding
than a girl can over being married the
first time. ~
IL would take more money than there
is in the world FOR "a man 10 nave any
he could spare To mis- poor relations.

Liquor Interests to See Law Makers.


In a published interview Governor
Plaisted is quoted:
My Democratic Legislature, elect
ed by independent Republicans, per-
formed its duty and submitted the
amendment to the people at the spe-
cial election last September
And. now that the people have
passed upon the amendment submitted
TO them by HIS Legislature, he is no
fair enough, sportsman enough, hon
est enough to accept the verdict O
the people and allow them to elect
Legislature on that issue. He. rather
proposes to force HIS Legislature
under the party lash, to put the same
question under another guise up to
the People again.
And in the meantime, every senator
and every representative will be
"seen," personally, by representatives
of the liquor interests!

Another Carnegie Gift.

Andrew Carnegie has turned over
$4,000, 900 to the Carnegie Corporation
Of New York, the body which was in
eorporated by the Legislature on June
. of the present year for the purpose
of taking over Mr. Carnegie's work.
in connection with educational insti-
tutions, libraries and hero funds. The
gift is in the form of fts Eerstent.
first mortgage bonds of the. United
States Steel Corporation. the bonds
being given as at par.
In amount the present gift ranks
among the largest donations made at
one time, even in the present age OF
large giving. Mr.. Rockefeller gave
1000. 600 at one time to his general
education board, on Feb. :. 1907. The
total of his gifts TO that fund is said
to be about s5s000,000 Mr.. Carnegie
is credited with giving something like
$50, 900, 900 in round figures for libraries,
but the donations came from time to
TINT DIS iIIt HttdS pItStilltd tlisiit-
selves to the donor. The Carnegie In
stitution at Washington has received
$25, 100000 from its founder, but the
sum is the total of several gifts, in
| Guiding two of sl0,0oo,0 900 each. Mr.
Carnegie has scattered $20.00000e or
more among the smaller colleges OF
the country, but at various times. AL
