How Boys Caught Fish.

Fishing has been reduced to a SCI
ence by two boys living In the neigh
borhoOd Of the North Kansas avenue
bridge over Soldier creek, says To-
peka (Kan.) dispatch. This Is how 1t
is done, and the method is not pat
ented:
Two little fellows take a "gunny
sack" fill 1t half full Of corn, then an
Choir 1t in a deep hole In the creek.
In a few days fermentation sets in and
oil the catfish, crOppie. crawfish and
mud turtles In the stream begin clam
Oring for admittance to the sack. The
pungent odor or taste Of the decaying
corn seems to work a charm upon the
inhabitants of Soldier creek, and they
Immediately hold a convention.
Catching them is easy. Just bait
your hook with some Of the grains of
corn out Of the sack, or, still better,
use a little sweet anise oil on a piece
Of stale liver, the boys say. Then en-
Joy some Of the liveliest fishing imag-
Unable.

Why Happiness Is Elusive.

We must remember one thing. It is
not absolutely necessary to be happy.
1t is all very well to talk about happi-
ness, but one Of the strange contradic-
tons of life is that we can never find
happiness If we search for 1t. Happi-
ness is elusive. 1t will escape US, If we
seek to hold 1t. But II we 60 our way,
II we refuse to lose our faith, no mat
ter how weary or how disheartened,
we will learn to find happiness In little
things, In the reading of a book, In
the singing Of a song, In the making Of
q dress, in the doing Of our work.
1t Is the last thing indeed that is
the real cure for the establishment Of
life that comes to each Of us. Work Is
the great panacea. If we work, and
work well, we shall find much to COM
pensate us. And II along the way we
choose to pretend that dreams do some
times come true, who can blame us?

HORRORS OF "JIGGER FLEA"
Why Pestlferous Insect ls More Dread.
ed Than Hun Hordes by the
Soldiers In Africa.

In the capture Of the kaiser posses
sions in East Africa General Smiths
army faced pests worse than those pro-
vided by the Germans. This special
pest Is a small insect known as the
"jigger fiea."
They are black and crablike, says a
writer In Wide World being a lit
tie more than the size Of an ordinary
pins point. They "dig in" and take
up their abode between the dermis and
epidermis and Immediately commence
to breed. All one notices is a jumpy
sort of feeling In the affected part, and
later a slight Inflammation is seen.
This is the time to operate. We learned
the correct method Of operation from
the natives and were invariably sue
cessful In removing the flea and its
eggs without mishap. To effect this
neatly one must split the skin in a
cross with the infiamed spot as center,
then lift the flaps like the back of an
ungummed envelope, when the microbe
with its thousands of eggs is open to
view. 1t is then quite easy to remove
both, but care must be taken that the
bag In which the eggs are contained
Is not broken, for should there be any
left they would speedily fructify and
travel through the system. One fellow
had over 100 extracted from his feet,
while others had to have feet, toes and
fingers amputated because Of them.

HOW AGE OF MOTHER
In w AFFECTS A CHILD


EXPLAINED BY PHYSICIAN.
The influence Of the mothers
age on her children Is dealt with
by DR.. r.. J. Ewart, In an arti-
Gle In Journal Of Hygiene.
Doctor Ewart's investigations
show that as the age Of the
mother increases the average
length of life Of her children de-
creases; the likelihood Of the
children having many children
Of their own decreases the Off
spring are more likely to be boys
than girls, and the intellectual
grade Of the offspring rises.
Doctor Ewart also points to
the curious fact that as the
mother grows older the chances
Of her children being other than
blue eyed increases. Whereas
all children are born blue eyed,
the eyes of a certain proportion
tend to become darker as they
grow older. OF a large num-
Der examined 100 per cent were
blue eyed at birth; 81 per cent
at six years, 38 per cent at thir-
teen, 80 per cent at thirty-one to
forty, and 20 per cent at forty
six to fifty-five.
In children Of young mothers
this tendency Of the eyes to be-
come darker with age is de-
layed.
