 There is no department of business, professional or in- dustrial life in which 1t IS not an essential part.
 No community, however small, can enjoy the full ad- yantages of modern life with out including the Telephone. By it's use to the needs of humanity 1t has proved its claims to rank as one of the necessaries of life.

ALASKAN MOSQUITOES.
They Are Small and Silent, but Work
With Fire Tipped Stings.

Mosquitoes in this icebound north
ern country. Alaska, are a plague be-
yOnd relief. They come to life about
the middle of May, before the ground
Is thawed out and while many feet OF
ice still cover the lakes and all but the
Bwiftest rivers. Stagnant. sun heated
water is not in the least necessary.
they breed In the glaciers wherever a
bit OF earth or manure has melted a
little pool Their wrigglers are seen
in running Ice water. by the 1st Of
June it Is uncomfortable to sleep with
out protection, and from that time on
until September, when the first frosts
have benumbed them, especially dur
ing the warn. rainy season of July
and August, they become a never ceas-
ing scourge, swarming in thousands.
The Alaskan mosquito Is small
brown, silent and very much in ear
nest. He never sings a warning nor
fools about selecting n spot to his
taste, but comes in a bee line with his
probe and gets into action. Every
inch Of your clothing IS industriously
bored. so that you look like an ami
mated brown cocoon, and the slightest
exposed spot on wrist or neck IS
promptly set on fire. l experimental
with a small hole in my glove. After
the first mosquito had found the open
ing others came in quick succession
to the spot. He left some microscopic
"kind lady and no dog sign there. II
l killed the first and left his carcass
It served as a warning not at all. The
others came the faster, and the more
killed the more eager the survivors be-
came, perching quite unmoved on the
remains Of their confreres.-World To

all alike. Never once" says Mr..

believe in 3O,OO0,0O0 gods, he may
hold that the world is dat and that

he will have charm Of manner and

But the Indian woman is the crown
of her creation, as, of course, all
women are everywhere. She may be
unable to read or write. she may give

A Fine Distinction.

Sometimes n small boy can draw a
fine distinction. Two fishermen of the
sportsman type, equipped with all the
latest appliances for angling, were
walking mountain road when they
met a barefooted boy with tin can in
his hand and carelessly trimmed
branch of a tree slung over his shoul-
der.
Hello. sonny" exclaimed one Of
the men. "Going fishingW
NO" drawled the youngster, with
only a glance at the splendid outfits,

Plants That Shoot Arrows.

The arrows are crystal needles of
oxalatc of lime. They are of microscop-
ic dimensions, and they are shot from
minute capsule shaped bodies found
I'm the tissues of such plants as the
Indian turnip and the Polynesian taro.
An extraordinary spectacle may be
viewed in the field of the microscope
when the "bonds" contained in drop
of taro pulp begin to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles and sometimes groups of four
to ten were discharged at once, the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left
It. 1t has been suggested that the
intense burning and pricldng sensa-
tions experienced in chewing such
plants rs those just mentioned are due
TO the release and discharge of these
crystal arrows when the plant tissues
are crushed in the mouth.-darper's

What He Deemed a Ois7ster Brought

The miners of New Mezico tell q
queer story which ILLUSTRATES their be-
lief in luck. miner was trudging
along one hot day through a gulch,
with the sun shining on his back. when
he smelled smoke and presently, to his
dlsmay. discovered that his knapsack
was on fire.
Like all miners, he carried large
lens for the purpose OF examining spec
linens, and for want Of room he had
hung the glass on the outside and the
rays of the sun had been concentrated
on his pack
AS among the contents were fifteen
pounds of powder he lost no time In
dropping the dangerous burden and
getting as far away as possible. The
haversack fell between two big rocks,
while the miner from n safe distance
mournfully watched the smoke rising
from his sole worldly possessions.
Presently there came deafening ex-
plosion, and the miner went TO gather
up what he could find. Then his eyes
almost started out OF his head at see
ing the quartz that had been blown up
fairly glistening with gold. His pow
der had literally blown open n gold
mine and he was made n rich man in
an instant. He named the mine the
"Nick o. Time Exchange.

EUGENIE'S ESCAPE.

HOW the Empress Got out OF france
After Sedan.
AS soon as the hot headed citizens Of
Paris learned in September, 1870, that
their emperor, Napoleon H., had sur
rendered TO the Prussians at Sedan
these Parisians rose in a riotous mob
and made posthaste for the Tuileries.
They were armed and after royal
blood and plunder. The empress had
to flee for her life. Assisted by the
Austrian and Italian ministers, she
but found the mob ahead Of her in
the garden; back again and then out
by q secret way into a side street,
where they entered a carriage a
street gamin recognized the empress
here, but the shouting Of the mob was
so great that the boys cry of warning
was not needed.
Once the carriage was stopped by a
mob but the party alighted and man
aged to escape. Finding themselves
near the residence of DR.. Evans, the
American dentist, they took refuge
lhcle, anu lllc uoO'ol tooh upOh hi'i
self the responsibility Of Empress Eu-
genies safety. The empress put on n
dress belonging to Mrs. Evans and,
with Nine. Breton, her friend, was
driven by Dr. Evans to the suburbs.
Dir. Evans explained that the women
were n patient and her attendant
whom he was taking to a santarium.
Two days later the fugtives reached n
coast town, whence they escaped to
England.

fEATHERED POLICE.
Birds Do a Wonderful Amount OF
Work For the Farmer.


Birds work more in conjunction with
man to help him than does any other
form of outdoor lrc according TO an
article i'm Success Magazine. They
police the earth and air, and without
their services the farmer would be
helpless. Larks, wrcns and thrushcs
search the ground for grubs and in
sects. The food Of the meadow lark
consists Of - per cent of Injurious
insects and - per cent of weed seed,
showing it to be bird of great eco
nomic value. Sparrows, finches and
Quail eat large amount of weed seed.
Practically all the food of the tree
sparrow consists of seed. EXamina-
tions by Professor Il. II. l.. Beal OF the
biological survey of the department of
agriculture show that n single tree
sparrow will eat quarter OF an ounce
Of weed seed daily. In state the
size OF Iowa tree sparrows alone will
consume more than 800 tons Of weed
seed annually. This, with the work
of other seed eating birds, saves the
farmer an immense amount Of work.
Nuthatches and chickadeeS scan
every part OF the trunks and limbs of
trees for insect eggs. In a days time
chickadee has been known to eat
hundreds OF insect eggs and worms
that are very harmful to our trees
and vegetables. WarblerS and vircos
hunt the leaves and buds for moth"
and millers. Flycatchers, swallows and
night hawks are busy day and night
catching flies that bother man AM
beast. Hawks and owls are workine
silently i'm daylight aud darkness To
catch moles, mice, gophers and squir
rels.
