Encourage the Swallow.

II you want to free the ncighbo,.
hood of mosquitoes encourage swallows
to make themselves at home, says the
American Forestry association OF
Washington. These birds feed almost
entirely upon obnoxious insects and
they will do much toward protecting
orchards and other trees from insect
pests. No better investment can be
made, therefore, than some houses set
out for martins and other swallows. OF
the blue swallows the purple martin Is
the largest. the male being entirely
blue above and below, while the female
Is blue above with Il gray breast. Swal.

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous to Record, but Detract Lit
tie From the Stories as
They Are Read.

The British minister Of education
points out some mistakes that he has
come across in books. One Of them
runs through "Ivanhoe," where the
Normans and SaXons are represented
as two distinct races. The fact is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage between the two races had
gone so far that Norman could hardly
he told from Saxon; but Sir Walter
Scott did not realize this until the story
was set up in type, and so the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through II. Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphry Ward, who in one
of her books made two people take
chairs in Kensington gardens in the
first week in October, though all chairs
are removed from the gardens on Sep
tember 20. Charles Kingsley makes
John "Brumblecome' recite n prayer
from the prayer book long before the
time the prayer was put in; the poet
Pope makes a weasel eat corn, when a
weasel never does; and likewise III
"Don Ouixote" the merry Cervantes
makes one Of his parties ut tavern
eat two sanners in one night. The life
Of novelist is full of trouble, but such
little things do not seem to matter
greatly. We would rather have the
stories with all their mistakes >than
have the dull facts without the stories.

Told of the Famous.

In his book, "1'he End of the Chap'
fer" Mr.. Shaw Leslie tells the follow
ing story:
"AIy grandfather witnessed an eiiec-
tive piece of play in the house or COM
mons during q duel between Disraen
and Gladstone. During a heated Hight
of oratory Gladstone upset some pens
on the table between them. Dtsraell
rose. and. after calling attention 10
the fact, slowly replaced them one ny
one. The effect Of Gladstone's speech
was lost by the time Disraeli had nm
ished."
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr.. Leslie says:
"My grandmother recalled the ludl-
crous incident which brought them to-
gether. As they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other thcy
seized the same hat. The effect was
ludicrous enough to appeal even TO
professional humOrists, and they SHOOK
hands"

Don't TRY to Remove Freckles.

Freckles can be removed, but, as
tie Journal of the American Medical
association says, "the effect Is only
temporary AZ best, and usually not
worth tie irritation and effort that 1t
costs"
The method is to apply solutions OF
mercuric chloride in a strength Of from
05 to per cent, strictly under medi-
cal supervision, for if one tries to do
it oneself she is likely to make Il nasty
mess of her face These solutions pro-
duce an inflammation of the skin which
ends in the outer skin peeling off,
bringing The freckles with it.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association says that the prescrip-
tion written by Hebra, and recon-
mendcd particularly for the. removal
of freckles, will not do The trick.
Wise women let their freckles
alone.

HUNTING THE SPERM WHALE
One Taken Off West Coast of Scotland
Realized Five Thousand Dollars

A graphic account Of the hunting
and killing of a sperm whale is told
by che who took part. in it. Starting
from the west coast of Scotland the
wlaer made for ROckall, a lonely
granite pinnacle that iuts out of the
Atlantic about two hundred miles west
of tie Outer HcbrideS. Why the
whales go there is a mystery. but In
early summer schools of them may be
found in the neighborhood. The look
out soon spies "bloW," that Is the

zones 10 tie surface TO breathe. Away
%cr% he whacr in pursuit. After
some tense mineuvering the whaier
gets into Suitable position. the skipper
takes aim. fires his harpOon gun and
II liarnGon is embedded in the mon
srer's body. Tile whale disappears
taking yards Of hemp line with him.
Presently he rises to blow again, and
a second harpoon is fired
nj him and he goes down with yards
Of cable rafting overheard. About
fifty minutes later lie floats on the
surface of the water, quite dead.
Immediately the sailors fall upon
him. Air is pumped into the carcass
to make it buoyant, his tlukes are
trimmed off, so that he will float in
tow, and the whaler makes for Scot
land again, With host of screaming
birds in her rear. This particular
whale realized five thousand dollars.
1t was a full-grown sperm, about sixty
feet long.
