DYNAMITE FOR MOSQUITOES.
West Haddonfield, N. j., Tries Blasting
and Meets With Success.

West HaddOnfield. n. J.-This Dor
ough has found dynamite an effective
weapon to use in combating mosqui
toes A paragraph In the borough year
book, just out, says:
THE residents of West Haddonfield
were for years pestered and torment
ed by mosquitoes which, it was learned
upon investigation, were propagated in
stagnant pools between the railroad
and Haddon avenue. 1t was found
practically impossible to drain these to
the street cutters; hence another meth
cd had to be employed. and it was de
cided TO sink the water into the ground
Under the supervision of L. z. Law
renee a heavy charge of dynamite was
sunk and discharged about twenty feet
under the surface. This caused the
pools to disappear in short order, and
no water has accumulated at this point
up to the end of the year"

LAMB HAS SIX LEGS.
Healthfu and Freakish, 1t Is the De-
light of the Children.


light of the Children.
Ogden. Utah.-A x-weeks-old lamb
with six legs is the unique pet recently
brought to this city by Frank Smyth,
secretary of the Iutermountain Land
and Live Stock company, from the
company's headquarters in Boxeider
county.
Although freak lambs are not I'M
common. sheepmen contend that few
of them live more than a few weeks.
The freak animal owned by Mr..
Smyth is said to be as frisky as any
normal lamb at the age of six weeks
and promises to develop into a healthy
sheep.
The extra pair of legs are attached
to the ribs just behind the shoulder
blades. The limbs are somewhat
crooked, the toes pointing in a variety
of directions, but the extra legs do not
interfere with normal use of the regu-
lar fore limbs. Mr. Smyth allows his
pet to Craze on the lawn in front of
his house. where 1t has become the
playmate of nearly all the children in
the neighbOrhood.

PAYS FOR HIS MUSTACHE.
Saloon Keeper Gives Mitchell $40 For
Half the Adjournment.

Carterville, MOTOR the loss of the
right side of his mustache, which he
had cultivated for nearly fifteen years
and which, it is said, was long enough
to be wrapped around his ear, William
Mitchell has been compensated by
Sherman Smith, in whose saloon the
adornment was cut off recently.
Mitchell had been in the saloon only
a few minutes when a loiterer clipped
off half the mustache. Mitchell threat
ened the arrest of the saloon keeper,
but Smiths counsel consulted Mitchell
and learned the monetary value at
which he held the lost half of his mus.
tache, which was so. This amount
was paid to him, and he withdrew the
charge. The loss of One-half of the
mustache has not weighed sufficiently
with Mitchell to prompt him to accept
the loss of the other half, and he still
is wearing what has been left to him

Athens, Pa.-The archaeolOgists who
are traversing the Susquehanna river

and digging up aborigines and other
relics are said to have made most
astounding discovery on the Murray
farm. near here, in finding the bones
OF siXty-eight prehistoric men.
The average height of these men
when their skeletons We're assembled
was seven feet, while many were much
taller. Additional evidence Of their
gigantic size is found in the massive
stone battleaxes in their graves. The
average age of these men is said to
have been from thirty to forty.
Another amazing point of this dis
covery is the allegation that perfectly
formed skulls were found from which
horns grew straight out from the
