Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. d. there
lived in China an artist, who was also
poet. His name was Ku Kai-chih.
In London there is a painting, a long
SCROLL which for at least a thousand
years has been treasured as his work !;
and though that cannot be proved, it
is in all probability a painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he in
trusted to a friend a chest full of
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid of
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a SEAL The friend however
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and so abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
ku ai-chih, he broke the seal and
found 1t empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise.
Beautiful paintings, he said, communi-
cate with supernatural beings; they
have changed their form and flown
away, like men when they join the
immortals.-Laurence Binyon, In the
Atlantic.

Hughson, Cal.-"Last winter my
hair began to fall out and later my
scalp began to itch terribly and my
hair was full of dandruff. There were
pimples broke out on my scalp, espe-

Sometimes | would wake up at night

itching. My hair came out in hand

lifeless and the dandruff was so thick

ARTHUR WAS PERSISTENT:
BY X. CUNNINGHAM.

I've often thought" said the girl
who likes to talk, that if everybody
In the world had the persistency OF a
cat what wonderful things might be
achieved! | have been moved to this
philosophical state of mind by the
career of Arthur, our alley cat.
81 named her Arthur the first time
| saw her because when | was quite
young there was boy named Arthur
whom | hated with such a whole soul
ed hatred that even to this day the
very name gives me the ereeps. Ar
thur was the kind of cat you dislike
violently on sight. She was lean and
a notified gray and one eye had a
cast and she had the general air of
dissipated vagabond.
Il can't imagine what began the
uplift in Arthur's soul. For some rea-
son she suddenly came to the deter
mination to attain higher social
sphere-and one day we found her
comfortably disposed on our 500 dav-
export in the living room
Mother had the cook remove her
and then she sponged the ash dust off
the davenport with gasoline.
THAT night Arthur mounted the
trellis to the upstairs windows and
perched on the stills and sang mourn
fully at each of US in turn. She was
regular feline soprano, because 9TH
erwise she. never could have got from
window to window. When she war

of shame that you were repulsing her
deep affection. Somehow she man.
aged to convey that emotion.
In her broken hearted despair at
our stoniness she extracted the paper
cover off the cream bottle at the back
door the next morning and breakfast
ed off the cream. The cook saw her
departing, licking her whiskers, and
threw a pail at her, which she nimbly
sidestepped
That night when my brother was
dressing for a dinner party, he found
Arthur asleep inside his silk hat He
said that anyway he believed he

Within the next week Arthur had

a Lot of Racket

Howard Elliott, the new president of
the New Haven & Hartford railroad,
was talking at a luncheon in New
York, about millionaire who had
been boasting overmuch-boasting
about his Raphaels, his Louis Seize
furniture, his Gobelins and his Aubus-
sons.
"Of course, he's self-made man."
said Mr. Elliott I'm very fond of
self-made men. The only objection to
them is that sometimes they've failed
to put themselves together SO as to
work noiselessly."

PARASITE OF POULTRY
Blood Thirsty Pest Causes Great
Loss to Industry.
Hens Attacked by Common Chicken
Mite Cease Laying, Become Poor
In Flesh and ListIess in Action
Remedies for Eradication.
(By II. c. PIERCE.O


| The worst parasite of poultry
against which the poultryman and
farmer have to contend is the com
mon chicken mite" or red chicken
mite" There are other species of
mites which attack poultry, but they
do much less damage. This blood
thirsty pest causes great loss to the
poultry industry of the country by
killing adult fowls and chicks and cut
ting down egg production. 1t not only
| attacks poultry but horses and even
man as well.
Hens which are attacked by mites
cease laying, become poor in flesh,
dumpish, and listless in action. The
head and comb become pale and the
| bird presents sickly appearance.
These symptoms are caused by the
nightly visits of hordes of these
hungry parasites. 1t seems hardly
believable that fowls could be killed
by such small pests, but they are so
many in numbers that their total
capacity for blood is enormous. Their
ravages are most pernicious on sitting
hens, as here they may have access
to their host at all times, causing a
rapid loss of blood. Attacks upon sit
ting hens often result in the hen
leaving her nest or in her death, spoil
ing the hatch in either case. Even IL
the hen does withstand the ravages Of
the mite, the newly-hatched chicks are
attacked as soon as they emerge from
the shell and are often killed In a
short time.
The best remedies for mites are
cleanliness, sunlight and spraying
with disinfectant solutions. The poul-
try house and fittings should be SO
built as to be easily cleaned. The
walls should be smooth and as free
from cracks as possible. Nests, roots
and dropping boards should be easily
entire surface and the walls beneath
them. There are several preparations
for the eradication of mites of which
two good ones are here given:
Shave or chop one 10-cent cake of
laundry soap into one pint of soft wa
ter. Heat or allow to stand until a
soap paste is formed Stir in one
pound of commercial cresol and heat
or allow to stand until soap paste is
dissolved. Stir in one gallon of kero-
sene. For use, dilute with fifty parts
of water, which will make a milky
colored solution.
Commercial cresol is coal tar by
product and may be obtained from
the druggist at about thirty cents per
pound. Care should be taken not to
get any of it upon the hands or face
as it will cause intense smarting
Shave or chop one-half pound of
hard soap, add to a gallon of soft wa
ter place on fire and bring to boil
to dissolve the soap. Remove from
the fire and stir in while hot two gal
Ions of kerosene. This makes a thick,
creamy emulsion which may be kept
be kept as stock solution For
use dilute with ten parts of soft wa
ter 1t is better to apply it hot if pos
sible.
Extreme care should be taken that
these mixtures do not come in con-
tact with eggs that are sold for
table purposes. Eggs sprayed with
cresol soap solution taste of carbolic
acid
