The Mandarin's Robe,

The author of "Recollections Of a
Society Clairvoyant" tells of the case
of lady who was haunted by reason
of garment she wore 1t was a
mandarin's robe from China. stated to
be part of the loot from the sack Of
Picking. The owner. who lived in a
fat in q London suburb. first began
to be alarmed by "a smell of decom-
position in her bedroom" and heard
''stealthy footsteps padding along the
tiny passage in and out Of the sit
ting ROOM" She changed her house.
but the obsession continued The
dreadful smell required. her cats died
in great agony from some unknown
cause. and uncanny footsteps were
heard at night. According to the
clairvoyant's diagnosis. the robe had
belonged to "a man who had worn it
when he engaged in the mystic forms
Of ceremonial magic known to the
Chinese. He had met with a violent
death. and certain malignant forces
were still imprisoned in his robe.
which. from the bloodstains on It. he
must have been wearing when he was
killed" The curse was eventually
dispelled by the robe being burned.

Meteoric Showers.

How many know that the earth Is
getting larger each year from the fall
of meteoric matter on its surface and
that snch matter is of no small

the estimate made by Young. This.
he says. would make layer one inch
thick over the entire earth in 1000
100000 years If we assume this me-
teoric matter to be three times as
heavy as water. But another effect
has to take place at the same time.
As the earth Is getting larger the force
Of gravity gets larger. and we are be-
ing attracted with more force toward
the sun. But the centrifugal force
keeping MS away from the sun gets
much greater. too. and. In fact. more
so than the suns gravity. the result
being that we are gradually fncreas-

Clean Your Glasses.

The most scientifically fitted glasses
in the world will do more harm than
good unless they are properly kept and
correctly worn. 1t Is a strong state
ment to make. but most people wear
dirty glasses. even those who are fas-
tidiously careful in all other respects.
Peering through any clouded and IN
certain window is a strain upon the
vision. How much more must the
strain be when the window is so close
to the eye that 1t is almost part Of it!
Glasses must be worn at the exact
angle for which they were prescribed
and no other. For this reason many
people and all children do better in
spectacles than in eyeglasses. The
glasses should be fitted to the eye by
the optician. after which care should
be taken not to handle and loosen the
frame. If this occurs in the slightest
degree they should again be fitted and
tightened.-Youth's Companion.

I know little city on a green and sunny

Where hundred tiny families have

Its byways are uncrowded. its leafy lanes

and rock and sway
Whichever way the summer breezes
blow.

The fathers and the mothers all earn their
daily bread
And bring it to the little ones who cry.
They do not ride or motor; they do not
walk: instead
They choose the very latest mode-they
fly.
The happy little citizens who live so high
and free
They sing and sing and sing the whole
day long
For the peaceful. quiet city is a green and
lovely tree.
And the dwellers there are birds, whose

A Queer African Town.

n Queer AFRICAN own
The town Of Abu Hamed is located
where caravans quit the river Nile
and begin their journey across the
desert. Merchants leave their mer-
chandise there and load up again with
goods that other merchants have left
there for them. There is nothing un-
usual in this. the strange part being
that no storehouses or depOts are used
for the protection of these goods. often
Of priceless value. The curious story
about Abu Hamed is that goods left
under the monument dedicated to St.
Abu Hamed are safe. Here they re-
main in the sand beneath the monu-
ment for months or years. No one will
modest them. They are considered to
be under the protection of the saint
himself. There has never been known
an instance of loss or theft Of any
goods.

KEEP LOOKOUT FOR
ALFALFA WEEV|l
Pest Has Put i'm Appearance i'm Utah
and Alfalfa Growers Should
Be Careful

Charles Conway has handed us
clipping taken from a Sacramento
paper, concerning the dreaded
alfalfa weev;l which is working
havoc in the alfalfa fields of Utah.
We think it is of extreme impor-
lance that the following suggestions
should be followed by growers in
this section:
There are about 100000 acres
of alfalfa in the U nited States, pro-
ducing an average of three tons to
the acre annually and valued at ap-
proximately $1OO,OOO,OOO. This
vast industry is threatened serious
ly by a small weevil (Phytonomus
murinus Fab. y native of Europe
and an insect that has already be-
come firmly established in Utah.
1t first appeared in that state in
1904, on the east side of Salt Lake
City, and it is merely by chance
that its attack has not fallen upon
the MAGNIFICENT alfalfa fields of Cal
ifornia. The infestation now covers
more than 100 square miles in
Utah and last year 1000 tons (esti-
mated were lost in the first cutting.
The loss has been especially severe
in the older fields where the vitality
of the plants was lowest. There
seems to be no hope of exterminat-
ing this pest, and as yet no fungoid
enemy has attacked the insect as
far as known here, and should the
insect secure hold elsewhere there
is no reason to believe i would be
controlled by natural enemies or
fungus disease.
The following suggestions are Of
fered:
/. That all horticultural commits
sioners, inspectors, quarantine
guardians and alfalfa growers ex-
anime the growing alfalfa crops at
every opportunity to see if this pest
can be found.
2. Discover from what territory
your seedman gets his alfalfa seed,
order no seed from suspected terri
tory and have every lot of seed on
sale thoroughly inspected and fumi-
gated.
3. Warn each seedman of the
danger of ordering Utah seed and
secure promise that he purchase
no supplies from suspected territory.
4. Urge that all alfalfa seed COM
ing into the state be fumigated with
carbon bisulphid.
5. Examine the wild growth of
alfalfa or similar plants along the
railway tracks and about the station.
and especially stock cars about the
sidings.
6. Horticultural and quarantine
officials should confer with alfalfa
growers and request them to report
all insect attacks.
s. Send unknown insects found
in the alfalfa fields to Prof. A. L.
Melander, Eutomologist, State Col
lege, Pullman.

LONDON BATTLE
LEAVES A PAIN

LONDON, January AFTER a days
reflection the sober thought of London
appears to be that the marshaling of
great force of police and military to
destroy a little nest of outlaws was
mistake A number of provincial pa
pers, too, criticize the authorities
sharply The Manchester Dispatch to-
day says that Englishmen have been
made to appear ridiculous and tnat
the affairs is one which the country
will be glad to forget.
Nothing has since developed to es.
tablish that more than two men held
the tenement against several hundred
police, two and half companies Of
Scots Guards from the Tower of Lon
don, a detachment of horse artillery,
with two machine guns and a gatling
gun, and fire brigade, to say nothing
of tens of thousands who lent their
moral support, expressed in vocifer-
Gus cheers.
It was reported that during the night
the police had discovered a third body
in the ruins, but this is not true. Only
two men are known to have been
killed.
The casualties reported from yes
terday's battle are five policemen, a
sergeant Of the Scots Guards and half
a dozen spectators wounded by the
bullets, most of them slightly, and two
firemen seriously and three firemen
slightly injured in the collapse of the
