Managing a Vacation.

AS the hot days arrive, it Is, as
usual, time to consider taking vaca-
tion. OF course, some people take
one all the year round. But even by
Woodworking people vacation can
he either used or abused. Indeed, it
seems that many persons fail to get
very much good from their holidays.
They even take harm.
How else can one explain the fire.
Quency with which the question is
asked, "IIave you recovered from
your vacation YETI" OF course, this
may refer only to fact commonly
known, that after you have broken
your regular routnine for while, 1t
does take day or two to get back
into harness, even though you are
feeling better than when you left
home. But the need of recovering"
from a vacation may run somewhat
deeper. IT may mean that you didn't
think the situation over carefully
enough before you started.
Everyone ought to ask himself, be-.
fore going OH vacation, How tired
am / as a matter Of fact?" Just a
little mentally weary and needing a
change, or tired clear through, mind
fatigued, and body run down? If a
person has reached this second stage,
then he 5ught to lay aside all inten-
tion of having strenuous vacation
and give himself all the rest he can
possibly get. Some physical exercise
each day may be all right, but II
should be stopped the moment the
muscles grow tired.
On the other hand, If you are feel
ing fairly fresh when you start, 1t
will probably do you good to enter
with enthusiasm into all possible
plans for exercises and diversions,
even to force yourself little in pur-
suit of them. It may be just the
thing to start sluggisch nerves into
new life.
II you can not take vacation, 1t
is always we'll to arrange some little
change in your usual routine. Try
sleeping outdoors for while. Go on
a short trip or two, If only for the
afternoon. One Woodworking wom-
an in a big city library was asked If
she never took q vacation. "Why,
no, l don't need to-" she promptly
replied Il Just change my work
that's all the vacation l need!"

CLEAN UP AND KILL THE
MOSQUITOES,

"Cleanup time is here, and SO
is mosquito time, Gird on your
swstting armor and go forth.
One moment, however, before
you go-'the female is more
deadly than the MALE
Among mosquitoes the men,
bers of the fair sex are fierce
bIoodsuckers that inject an ir-
ritating poison into our skins,
and they may accompany the
dose of toxin with a few fever
germs. The males lead COM
paratively tame existence, sub.
sisting on the juices Of plants
and fruits" So says member
Of the University Of Wisconsin
biology department.
THE speckle winged anopheIes,
the malarial mosquito he con-
tinues, "hibernates during the
winter in our attics, cellars and
closets. The presence Of many
lakes, swamps and ponds often
makes mosquitoes an intoIerable
pest.
"The female mosquito gorges
herself with blood in order that
the eggs may have abundant
nourishment. She deposits hGr
little egg raft on the surface OF
quiet water during the night, and
Il floats there until the larvae
hatch. The larvae are the wig.
slers' or 'wiggletals' which are
seen in ponds and rainwater
barrels the world over. Though
mosquito larvae always develop
in water, they must breathe air
and frequently come to the sur.
face. After few days tho larva
sheds it's skin and becomes a big
headed pupa, which rests at the
surface until II splits up the
back to allow the adult mos.
quito to emerge.
"The best way to get rid Of
mosquitoes 10 to destroy their
breeding places. This not only
means draining swamps and fill.
Ing in ponds, but gathering up
tomato cans, putting netting
over horse troughs and rain.

Who was the first woman hanged In
tho United States?

Who was the first woman hanged In
tho United states7
Mary Dyer, Quakeress. On the
9th Of October, 1869, gallows stood
on Boston common, and three con-
demned Quakers-William Robinson,
Marmaduke Stevenson and Mary Dyer
were led out to execution. They
were accompanied by the train band,
and drums were beaten to drown their
testimony. The town was put under
guard OF thirty-six soldiers against ap-
pretended trouble. The woman walked
between her two companions, holding
each of them by hand. The marshal
asked her ''if she was not ashamed to
walk hand in hand between two young
men," She replied: 1T Is an hour of
the greatest joy | can enjoy in this
world. No eye can see nor can ear
hear nor can tongue speak nor can
heart understand the sweet incomes
and refreshings Of the spirit of the
Lord which l now enjoy"
The two men were hanged and buried
beneath the gallows, but Mary Dyer
after having the moose put round her
neck was pardoned and sent to Rhode
Isldnd. The next spring she returned.
On the gallows the second time, June
1, 1860, she was offered her life If she
would promise to keep out of Massa-
chusetts. Her reply was, "In obedience
to the will Of the Lord l came, and In
his will / abide faithful to the DEATH
She did so.

One Of the most amusing charac-
ters in Oriental Love" the new
Mack Sennett- keystone comedy. is
not mentioned in the cast of the
film. 1t is ram with propensity
for 'butting anything that doubles up
in front of him. In the course of the
action he upsets a rajah, propels a
number Of nude ladies into swim
ming pool, and bursts a jar under
which the heroine is hiding. He
seems to get great deal of pleasure
out of it, for at frequent intervals he
is seen to open his mouth and give
vent to what looks suspiciously like
horse laugh, if that is possible for
a sheep. This ram is one of the re-
cent acquisitions to the Keystone zoo
which already includes some animals
of marked intelligence, among them
lion, a goat, a number of chickens.
and a whole kennel of assorted dogs.

Who made the first umbrella and
where was IL used?

Who made the first umbrella and
where was il used?
No one knows who made the first
umbrella. Jonas Hanway of London
was the first man on record to carry
one over his head to keep of the rain.
Umbrellas seem to have been known as
far back as the days of Nineveh and
Persepolls, for representations of them
appear frequently In the sculptures of
those early days. The women of an
cient Rome and Greece carried them,
but the men did not. Mr.. Hanway is
said to be the first man who walked
the streets Of London with an open
umbrella over his head to keep Off the
rain. He was much ridiculed and is
said to have used 1t for thirty years
before umbrellas came into general use
for this purpose.

How did the word "stogie" originate
as applied to the long cigar sold at the
cigar stands?
The word "stogle" probably orlgi-
mated in the middle west There were
and may be now more stogies smoked
there than any other kind of tobacco.
A long time ago in the Pennsylvania
lumber regions the timber was trans
ported to market by means OF teams.
The teamsters in most instances had a
long haul and ordinarily would take a
whole day to reach their destination,
which was ConestOga. Instead of tax
ing their pipes, the teamsters would
lay in goodly supply of Pennsylvania
tobacco and as they drove along with
one hand would roll it into shape for
smoking. These rolls came to be known
as Cohestogas, and as time went on the
word was contracted to "stogles."
