Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations made by
DR.. william Sheppegrell, president of
the American Hay Fever Prevention
association. are reported in a paper
published by him. AS result of a
weed-cutting campaign carried out in
New Orleans in the spring of 1916 the
number of hay fever cases was re-
duced to less than 80 per cent Of the
usual prevalence. The "cold storage
treatment of the disease, In which
practically all ventilation Is excluded
in order to insure the absence of at
mospheric pollen, is said to afford only
transient relief, while the low tenl-
perature is likely to cause bronchitis.
The effects of an abundant rain on hay
fever patients is beneficial because the
rain not only washes the pollen out OF
the air but also permanently removes
It's toxic qualities, so that 1t IS harm
less when again blown into the air
after the rain is over. This has been
proved by laboratory experiments, in
which pollen, after submerson In wa
ter was inhaled by hay fever subjects
without any apparent effect.

HOME OF IDEALLY SCORPION
Region in Mexico That Is Avoided by
Travellers for Most Excellent
Reason.

Revolutionary bands and brigands
may ride up and down Mexico, but
there Is one strip of territory that even
the hardest and most daring of them
will not brave. 1t is a desert country
that extends from point near the city
of Durango to the borders of the state
of Zacatecas, about seyenty-dve miles
long by fifty miles wide: 1t Is as
serted that myrlads of scorpions infest
this region and are the most deadly Of
the species.
In the city of Durango, although re-
garded as outside of the more deadly
zone, the death rate, due to scorpion
stings, IS high. This IS especially true
as to children. The alachrane, as the
insect Is commonly called, IS regarded
as such deadly pest that for many
years the municipal government has
paid a bounty of one centayo, equlva-
lent to about one-half cent of Ameri-
can money, for each one killed anu
delivered to the official custodian or
dead scorpions. Something like lO0,-
600 Of the scorpions are~.killed ana
bounty paid for them annually.
Killing scorpions is a regular indus
try with many men, women and chill
dren of Durango. One Is told that
some of the natives even go so far as
to establish regular colonies OF the
poisonous insects in their homes Tor
the purpose of breeding them for the
market.

PIANO REPAYS PROPER CARE
Extremes of Heat and Cold Must Be
Avoided, Also Both Dryness
and Humidity.

A piano should be carefully guarded
against extremes of heat and cold
dryness and humidity. Never place a
piano on the exposed outer wall Of
the house. In winter keep it away
from radiators, and in summer from
open windows, where the sunshine will
crack the varnish.
Remove the footboards and rub a
very soft lead pencil over the place
where the friction occurs, to stop
squeakng.
In cleaning the keys, care should
be taken that the cloth is not too wet,
and only a few keys should be cleaned
at a time, drying them at once. Use
toothpick with a piece of soft liren
over it to remove the dust at the back
Of the keys.
The most opportune time to have
the instrument tuned is in the spring
after the furnace is out and soon af-
ter the fires are started in the fall,
because the change in temperature will
put it out of tune. The piano should
not be left silent too long, as dlsuse
will have harmful effect on the tone.

Choose the Beautiful Way.

Thrice blessed are they who are
pleasant to live with. They are a
blessing to themselves, to those with
whom they live, and to the world at

writer has said most truly: "There
Is a beautiful and an ugly way In
which to say almost everything, and
happiness depends on which way we
take. You can upset a person for a
whole day by the harsh way In which
you may call him in the morning, or
you may give him n beautiful start by
the cheerlness of your greeting. So
not only in the words, but ia all the
little common courtesles and duties Of

CARE OF PLANTS IN HOME
Methods to Be Followed II One Would
Keep Them Always Looking
Their Best.

The housewife need have no more
wlthered house plants, If she will ex-
erclse a moderate amount of judgment
In their care.
The best plan to follow in watering
plant is to wait until the surface is
dry to the depth of half an inch. Then
pour water over 1t, until 1t reaches the
saucer Do not water again until the
surface is dry.
To keep ferns fresh and growing, set
the fern dish In a pan Of water com
Ing about half an inch above the top
of the dish. The plants should be
kept in the water for about twenty
minutes every other day. Sprinkle
the foliage profusely with tepld water
and drain thoroughly.
A remedy for the plant louise and
the red spider IS a tablespoonful of
extract of nicotine added to a gallon
of water. The dphis and mealie bug
are destroyed by dipping the foliage
in strong soap suds, Fir-tree oil is
the best remedy for scale, which at
lacks such smoOth-leaved plants as
ivy and palms.

the tale with the following: IAN in

binary herring. The fish was put into
n large bowl Of salt water, and every
day,a small quantity of the water was
removed, and an equal quantity of
fresh was substituted, until eventual
ly the fish lived and thrlyed in purely
fresh water. The owner was so
pleased with the success of his expert
ment that he then tried removing a
very small quantity of water daily un-
I'll the bowl was empty, and found that
the herring did eXcellently entirely
without water, and as he was so live

him In a cage. Here he lived happily
hopping from perch to perch, just like
bird, until one day some sudden
noise startled him, and he fell into his

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving food is 50 ancient that the
earliest written records refer to IT..
For many centuries practically all the
salt used by the human race was pro-
cured by the evaporation of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt is still
employed in many localities where the
conditions are favorable. a fiat
stretch of sea coast and hot and dry
climate are necessary if salt is to be
gotten from sea water. An ideal To-
cality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay of Cadiz, Spain. The sea
water Is allowed to collect in shallow
basins. As the water evaporates the
various salts crystalline out and form
crust. The edible salt crystallizes
out first and is drained from the other
salts, which are gathered in large
piles where the occasional rains and
the sun help to wash and dry out the
impurities. A considerable part Of
the crude salt IS used locally for cur
ing and picking and the remainder is
shipped to reiineres.
