THE CIGARETTE BEETLE.
This Tough Little Pest Will Flourish
 Even In Cayenne Pepper.

ENeu tM SdfoHUe Ftfte's
 A tiny but withal practically om- nivorous little fellow, the cigarette beetle is known to science as Lasioder- ma serrlcoine 1t is common in nenriy all tropical and subtropical countries, and, as a sample of its catholic tastes, we may mention that it will breed fin raisins, rhubarb, cayenne pepper, rice, ginger, dried fish, upholstery, ergot, turmeric, books, cane work, gun wads, liquorice saffron, belladonna and in pyrethrum powder strong enough to kill cockroaches-a varied catalogue to be sure. It is chiefly as pest of tobacco, In various forms, however, that the cigarette beetle has become notorious. The greatest damage is done to the wrappers of cigars and cigarettes. through which it eats small holes.
 The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf, and a very interesting fact is that the size of the adult beetles, into which the larvae eventually develop depends not only on the quantity, but also on the quality, of tobacco that has been de- voured in the immature stages. Ex- pertinent has shown that fin every case beetles obtained from selected cigars were double the size of those from low grade tobacco. It will be remem- bored that the cheese skipper is par tial to the better cheeses; similarly, the oigarette beetle is somewhat of q con noisseur, for given free choice cigar cites are always the first to be infested. while cheap grade tobacco and cigars kept In the same room will remain un- infested for years.
 Apart from the actual destruction of the tobacco leaf, the larvae spoil its aroma and accordingly depreciate Its value: 1t is some consolation to know that the adults themselves do no dam age This little beetle is most difficult to eradicate, and, to that end, an ex- perimental X ray machine was spe- cially built at great expense In Amer ica. The machine was to be capable of "sterilizing" cigars, on a commercial scale at the rate of 10000 day; volt ages of G4O00 to 75,O00 and exposures as long as an hour were tried without the slightest effect upon eggs, larvae, pupae or adults-the experiment was failure.-"Insects and Man." by O.

FIGHTING INSOMNIA.
Some Advi-o About How to Woo "Na

Some Advi-c About How to Woo "Na- | ture's Sweet Restorer." ! In fighting sleepicssness have found
 nothing so helpful as a simple pro- 1 cetiure based on the conditions which ! recent psychological experiment has p.nvcd to Le fundamental to sleep Thc*e are:
 Mental and muscular relaxation, Him. itation of voluntary movement and monotony of sensation. To obtain these the next time you find yourself wakeful select on the wall of your room some ornament or spot which. by reason of ray of light from the moon or street lamp, seems to stand out clearly from it's surround fngs. Having selected this spot, as- sume a comfortable position in bed, taking care that you lie in such way that you can see the spot on the wall without straining any part of your body.
 Next, remaining perfectly motionlcss and thinking of nothing but the spot on the wall. gaze at 1t through half closed lids in such a way that it seems remote and indistinct.
 Be sure not to try to get full view of it. That would mean tension. not relaxation. and would defeat your pur- pose. Your gaze at the spot. while steady. must be without any straining of the attention. sTs,
 Soon. if you have continued. to lie perfectly quiet and to think of nothing but the spot on the wall. you will find your eyelids grow heavy and close com pletely. Open them half way, as be- fore. and resume the process of gazing
 They will again grow heavy and dose. when you must, if you can. open them once more. Before long you will find it impossible to open them. for you will be sound asleep.
 Even if your room be in total dark ness you can still make use of this sleep bringing method by calling up before your minds eye some imaginary object and gazing at it between half closed lids exactly as though 1t were really before you. Remember, how ever, that you must lie perfectly still, moving neither your hands nor your legs.
 Try this device the next time you are troubled by wakefulness. From per sonal experience I am satisfied that, If you follow it faithfully in it's details. you will find that 1t works like a charm.-H. Addington Bruce in Kan sas City Times.

Lord SaIisbury's Joke.

Count Miyatovich, former Servian minister, told in London the story of a meeting he once had with the late Lord Salisbury. "He was a brilliant man and great statesman" he said. "A little cynical, he never lost an op- portunity of having a laugh at ones expense, but in his laugh there was never a trace of any malice. In the interview recounted my nations his tory, when he seemed little bored At the end Lord Salisbury dryly re- marked: I thank you, minister. Now I know what did not know before that you have brilliant history. But, my dear friend, 1t would have been much better for the Serbs if you had Il less brilliant history and a port on the Adriatic.'"

patches and silk and satin clothes. He
flatters "EverywOman" and her COM

her, for the first time, of King Love
the First and urges her to go forth in
quest Of her king. Truth" as an old

Her son, Love" appears rs a hand
some youth in simple dress. But
''EVerywoman," blinded by the Flat
prepares for her pilgrimage in spite
Of the protests Of "Modesty."
It is in the canticle that some OF the
most effective lines are spoken be-
tween "Everywoman," Truth" and
Nobody"
Truth Speaks Wisdom.

Truth. Love is the son of Truth and
can be found nowhere else but by her

as the first, Every oman's" home.
Love is asleep before the fire when
''EveryWoman" returns, led by Truth, %
who lights the way. It is then that
''Everyw discovers that Love"
is to be found in the home and then
Happiness" comes in out of the snow
to abide in the home.
Nobody apears before the curtain
after the close of the scene and speaks
a strong epilogue in which he entreats
the audience to be fair and just with
every woman, to excuse her faults. for
Nobody is to blame" he declares.
Perfect in everything back of the
foOtlights, the beautiful green drapery

added the final touch to a wonderful
evening. The orchestra, including a
harp, kettledrum and director who is
a musicmaster, plays the incidental mu-

of the best plays that has ever been
