Fred C. Wood, who presides over
the Cleveland Automobile club, be-
came so annoyed the other day bv

mustache with his eats, that he ex-
cused himself between the clams and
the soup, went into the barber shop

extent of its ravages l>cen fully ap-
preciated. It has killed thousands
of trees of all kinds, Collier's Week-
ly says, and from present indications
thousands more will be destroyed. It
is difficult to control the pest be-
cause of its habits. Neither the moth
nor the borer eats the leaves, so that
arsenical poisons are useless. The
borer, after entering the tree, re-
mains two seasons, during which
time it increases in size from a quar-
ter of an inch to aliout three inches
long and the size of a lead pencil. A
small tjpJYan be saved by carefully i
going over it and destroying the
pest in its borings. This can be done j
with a wire or by injecting bisul-
phide of carbon into the holes and
plugging them up. A large tree in-
fested is doomed. The pest rivals in
destructiveness the combined activi-
ties of both the gypsy and brown tail
moths.

Miss Leonora O'Reilly, in a suf-
frage address in New York, said:
"The more intelligent a man is,
the more respect he has, I find, for
the intelligence of women. Intelli-
gent men hesitate to say that women
are their mental inferiors. But stu-
pid men—dear me!"
Miss O'Reilly smiled.
"The conceit of the stupid man re-
minds me of Sandy MacPherson.
Sandy, in a Peebles pifblic house,
told an Englishman that all the.
great poets were Scotch.
"'But how about Shakespeare?'
"icd the Englishman. 'Can you say
he v Scotch?'
"'Jlis talents,' was the reply,
'would justify that supposition.'"
HOW TO CARE FOR ONION BEOS.
In his advice to backyard garden-
ers regarding onion cultivation,
James B. Sherwood writes in the
fjouisville Courier-Journal as fol-
'owr :
"Be sure that your onion beds re-
ceive plenty of water and with re^u- i
hrity. After (he ground has been
irrigated till it will not absorb any
more wait until the surface soil has
dried out somewhat and then give
the plants n little surface cultiva-
tion, just enough to keep the soil
sifted and to prevent any possible
caking around the roots.,
"If you are trying to raise oniom
on a semi-muck soil watch to see
that your surface soil does not bake
following s heavy rainstorm. Keep
it well stirred an A free of weeds and

ALASKAN TELEGRAPH WIRES.
There are more than 4.000 miles
of lines of communication in the
Washington-Alaska military cable
and telegraph system. There have
been few interruptions, due, as usual,
to storms, landslides and forest fires.
The latter have always been preva-
lent in summer along the Yukon
river west of Fort Gibson, but are
yearlv becoming less destructive
with the passing of the forests. The
system comprises 5í,f>í)2 miles of sub-
marine cable, 201 miles of double
and 1,15 miles of single land line,
c.nd miles of wireless.
WHOOPING COUGH CURE..
"Will vou please give mother a
nut to put a spider in, as baby's got
the whooping cough." This ex-
traordinary request was made to a
Ti\erton shopkeeper thi* week by ¡i
little girl whose mother believes that
if she imprisons a live spider in a
nutshell and ties it round her in-
fant's neck the whooping cough will
disappear when the spider dies.—

Hay Making Coming
that many young women have had
to solve and that will have to la?
solved in the future by many more.
The best thing to do is to buy only
necessary articles at first and to buy
furnishings of good quality. It is
far better to have a few good house-
hold articles, and the touch of a
woman's hand over all than to have
a house full of cheap things that
only "make a show." Buv slowly
and well. It is not quantity that
counts in the long run. Quality
coupled with artistic arrangement is
♦ ho essential thing.
THE ONE EXCEPTION.
Seymour—I hear that Snodkin
owe- everybody in the city.
Ashley—Don't you believe it; that
report is a cruel exaggeration ; I was
personally assured by Davis that
Snodkin didn't ow'e him and never
had owed him a single cent.
Seymour- Davis? Who is Davis?1
Ashley Why, he's the stamp
clerk in the postofliee.

away with it! Oh oh—oh !"
