Isolation of st. Kilda

FROM the London Daily EApfess.
Five months of stormy weather in the
outer Hebrides have brought the lonely
islanders of ST Kilda to the verge Of
starvation Their plight which became
known on Saturday, prompted Mr..
Churchill to send orders by wireless for
warship to be sent to the island, and II.

No steamship with supplies has reached
the island since Christmas, and the people
are still waiting for their Christmas ana
New Years letters.
The state of affairs on the island week
ago was described by Captain Rennie Of
the steamer Strathmore, when the vessel
reached Aberdeen on Saturday. When
the Strathmore touched at the island all
kinds of food supplies had run out. There
was no tea. no sugar and no meat; only
few handfuls of -four. What was per-

run short of tobacco.

of the loss of the -TitancAthe first the
islanders had heard of the disaster.
When our steamer sighted the island
several of the islanders manned a boat
and hailed us. Asked how they were get

OF seni-starvation.
Now that the seabirds were nesting
they were getting eggs, and that helped
them little, but still they felt that they
required something more to feed them
selves properly.

much, but we promised to report the state
of matters as soon as we arrived home.
We had been a week out already. and had
not very much to spare for them. We
gave them all the newspapers we had on
board, and these they evidently appre-
clated. They told us they had been with
out news since before Christmas. They
told us that the Strathmore and the Hull
trawler weer the first steamers that had
been seen near the island this year.

to be only some 50 or 60 miles from the
Western Hebrides, and yet so much out

them food to last them for some time.

A Pickle in a Museum


A pickle five inches long and two inches
thick, In bottle with a half-inch neck,
covered with vinegar, has been there since
1852
Such is a fair description of donation
made to the Bloomington, ILL.,, Historical
society by William yanscoyoc. The ex-
hibition looks at first sight like the i'm
possible achieved. one observers with an
Interest in devices decided that the bottle
had been blown around the pickle in
1852, at some glassblower's exhibit.
The solution is simple enough. In the
spring of 1862 Mrs. Mary Vanscoyoc took
the bottle out to the cucumber vines and
into the small neck of the bottle induced
tiny cucumber to go. Then the vine
was watered and tended, and the cucum-
ben. soon and permanently to be pickle,
grew and waxed fine and strong When
II had filled the bottle off was cut the
stem, and the big cucumber was separated
from it's parent
Then the bottle was filled with weak
vinegar and corlged tightly, and so il was
reposed through more than a half CEN
fury, and will further repose with the
curios of the Mclean County Historical
society, and coming generations will have
a chance TO speculate concerning the very
large pickle reposing IN very small

On Boston Common

Comparatively few people know tina.
there was once a spinning school, on
Boston Common. Winsor's Memorial His
tory of Boston records that upon the ar

of the town, and the women. young and
old. high and low, rich and hoor floclxed
into the spinning school, which for want
of better quarters was set up in the. Com

women appearing there seated at theil

tisement.

Years ago. before wing shooting had

of his own as to the oncoming bird, hold
ing that the heavy breast feathers
turned the shot. He waited until the
bird had passed him, when, firing d.
recty at II he could bring down his
quarry
But it was not because the bird was not

was that It flew over his charge of shot

hammer could fall on the percussion cap

der could be ignited and exploded, send

flown yards, perhaps beyond its position

But by firing directly at the bird after 1t
had passed. the shot charge had a strong
tendency to drop as it flew and the bird,
flying on a level line, got in the way"
of the charge.

Now Is the Time to Fight
Moths

Late spring and early summer is the
time TO guard against moths and beetles
Many of these Notwithstanding insects
are brought into the house on flowers.
May and June are especially bad
mouths, as both moths and beetles are
only dangerous to fabrics In their young
or grub stage. according to DR.. Z. Porter
Felt. New York state entomologist.
These insects will destroy almost any
thing from coarse rugs to the finest OF
ball gowns and dress suits. Carpets that
are rarely swept and garments that are
seldom disturbed are most liable to dam
age.
The substitution of the frequently re-
moved and easily cleaned rugs for car
pets will greatly lessen the danger from
the destructive moth and beetle grubs.
Carpets laid on tight floors are much less
liable to injury than where numerous
cracks furnish safe retreats for the in
sects Tarred paper uncer carpet is an
excellent preventive
All clothes presses should be thoroughly
cleaned at frequent intervals. The gar
ments should be removed, aired and Wig
orously brushed. Any larvae which are
not dislodged in this way should be de-
stroyed 1t is a bad plan TO keep odds
and ends OF woolens or other materials
in atti1s where these pests can breed and
thus spread TO more valuable articles.
Spraying with benzine two or three
times during hot weather is good way
of preventing injury TO furniture or car
rage upholstery and other articles which
are in storage or not in use for a long
time. If you are certain that wooens
and furs are free from the pests they
may be stored in safety by placing them
in tight paste board boxes and sealing the
covers firmly with gummed paper.
Both moths and carpet beetles are
harmless at temperature of 40 degrees
Fahrenheit--a fact employed to advan-
tage by the large fur storage companies.
And they cannot survive temperature
of 100 degrees If subjected to it for about
20 minutes.
