Murray hughi-d, reerossed the <-cm and went out through the sagging door. An hour afterward Carter gathered himself t- jrether and rose. Slipping to the head of the stairs, ho saw that the hi! room was empty. The night bar- tender was drowsing over the bar. Carter caught up his bap: and stum- bled down the stairs. He got by the l>;irlonder without rousinpr him. In the street he fairly ran toward the station.- "Ticket for Chicago," he told the agent. "Wh'2ii dj I get a train?" Ho was lucky. There was a train in thirty minutes. He slunk into the shadows and wa'ted. The train whis- tled into the station. He ran across the platform. As he went ap "he stejjj of the train he looked back. Mu i ray was standing on the platform, watching him with that awful expres- sion in his hard eyes. "He's after me," Carter breathed, as he sank into a scat in the smoker. The train pulled out. Just before the station was lost to vvv Cartel looked back. Murray was not in Right. Carter glanced behind him, but the couch door was closed. "I wonder where ho i.?" Cailri saij to himself.

"Kee:> him wandering," Murray said harshly. "Keep him wandering till he thinks he has no place to lay his head. He knows I'm after him." 'Well, I guess you'll get him," said i the Kid, so.berly. "I've got ham now," Murray said. He picked irp his bag, "Well, good- bye, son. I'm off. See you again some tiir.e maybe." "Good-bye," said the Kid and he i watched the tall form vanish through the door. Murray walked up to the ticket agent in the station few minutes later -and tossed a $20 bill through the i window.

Spiders' webs are used as fishing nets by the natives of a llttie village called Waley, in New guinea. The spider !s about the sJze of a small hazel-nut, but its dark and hairy brown legs spread to about two Inches. The web it spins Is about six feet In diameter, and its mesh is very strong. The natives set up long bamboos bent over Into a loop at the end, and in a very short time the spider weaves a web on these frames so kindly left for him, and the Papuan has his. net made "while he waits." The mesh at the outside of the web is about one inch square, and gets smaller and smaller . until near the centre It is only, perhaps, or.e-eighth of an inch.

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to- day; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here \ All simply in the springing of the year. Oh. give us pleasure in the orchard white, Like nothing elsa by day. like ghosts by night; And make us happy in the happy bees. That swarm dilating round the perfect trees. And make us happy in the darting bird That suddenly above the beas is heard, The meteor that thrusts in with need'e bill. And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.

"Keep away," he pleaded. lie could see Murray set himself now, every muscle in the lithe Thc Clothes Moth. There are more than one species of clothes moth that riddle our Sunday- best and make it unfit for wear, but the one doing the most damage is known as the case-making clothes mo til. Thc destructive work of the larvae of the clothes moths is only too well known when, during the summer months, they show their fondness for furr, woolens, carpets and clothes. The little yellowish or buff-colored moths may be seen at times fitting about the room, attracted to lights at night, or perhaps disturbed in their usual haunts in thc folds of garments or curtains. They themselves are quite harmless and eat no food, as they possess only rudimentary mouths. The destruction caused by these pests is then limited to the feeding at larval stage. The cnst-making clothes moth makes a tiny transportable case for its protection and when it feeds, car- ries this around with it. The larva is one-brooded, that is, there is only one generation a year. Thc time of year that the larvae are present, to create haven- in garment?, furs, feath- ers and carpets, is from June to Aug- ust. At other times, it is said, no fear need be had. The moth ig about half un inch long between thc tips of the wings and dies right after the egg-laying is complete I. The minute, almost invisible eggs are laid on ma- te-rial that will serve as food for the newly-hatched larvju'. Sumotimes they are laid in cracks in trunks so that the young larvae can enter and enjoy a nice quiet existence among the ma- terials within. Many experiments with various sub- stances have been tried against both the adult moths am! the larvae, as well as the eggs. Some of the results are mentioned below. Naphthaleiie--T"his substance is a coal-tar product and very easy to ob- tain. It has been found to be uniform- ly effective in protecting woolen gar- ments from being eaten by theae pests nnd also in killing both thc larvae and adults. The fumes from this product seems to be tho agent that makes these pests succumb. It was found also that the insect eggs- treated with thifl material did not hatch. Camphor -Oum camphor used at the rate of five ounces to five cubic feet of space was effective in varying degrees. It is not as efficient as is the naphthalene and costs quite a lot more. Red-cedar Chest During un experi- ment to deteimine the killing proper- ties of a red-cedar cheat, seventy adult moths were liberated within it and nt the end of sixty days not one of them was alive. The sanie experi- ment was tried again two years later using the same cheat, and thc same results wore obtained. Red-cedar chips and shavings, while not altogether efficient in killing the moths and keeping them from laying their eggs, will probably act as a deterrent to keep moths away from garments treated this wy. Pyrethrum Pyrethrum was very effective, killing one hundred per cent, of the moths, when used at the rate of four parts of the pyreihrum to ninoty-!*ix parts of flour. It is also very effective, iigainst the larva. Clothing can IH> protected if thorough- ly dusted with pyrethrum powder. Nicotine nnd TowdeJed Tobacco Neither of these materials were found to ln> very destructive to the larvae when used ot ordinary strengths nnd if used strong enough to kill thorn the price would IK- almost prohibitive. ("loves and oil of lavender wore ef- fective in protecting flannel from the egg laying moth, while some mate- rials ihut helped to control the larva* were ninety-rive per cent, ethyl alco- hol H H H spray, cloves u.wd as a dust, and ftodium tluorid as u dust. Mate- riul.s that were ineffective against the )rv weie ftllapii-e, angelica root. I Iwrax, eucalyptus leaves, formalde- j hyde, white hellebore, lavender flow- ! ers, lead carbonate, .jad oxide, lime, ' sodium bicarbonate. Sulphur fumiga- tion has proven to be a very good way of killing the adults and larvae on a! ! large scale. Formaldehyde is useless. ' A general suggestion on control measures would be to carefully exam- ine and brush every garment before it is put away for the summer and then either apply naphthalene ox pyrethrum. Clothing that is frequent- | ly brushed is not very apt to become infested.

There's some that say I'm hard to please. (There, beat the batter light!) Well, nothing spells eternal peace so much as starting right. Some say a man must do his work, no matter what or when; I'm thinking nil the doing doe?n't fall upon the men. (Child! Mercy me! Your griddle's 'not. This spoon will hold enough.

What a Mot'.er Should Know. A few simple rules for feeding chil- dren are us follows: If children are allowed to eut when overtired, indigestion results. Thirsti- ' I ivoss is often mistaken for hunger. Four meals a day are neecl'ed until the 1 child is live years old. But see also, that he drinks plenty of wat.'r. If the children refuse plain bread and milk between meal* give them no- ; thing. They are evidently not hungry. There is often too great variety of! 'food in the child's diet. He is hap- pier with less choice. It is a serious offence U> offer a child for whom you are not respon- sible food of any description. You may serrously upset "rim. i Allow plenty of time for the child j ; to eat. If he is not hungry do not try to tempt his appetite by offering sweets when simple food is refused. j Teach him to chew his food thor- oughly. Keep tihe ohild happy at ratals. Laugh ami grow fat applies to chil-j dren as well os adults. I)o not give children highly season- ed food. This is avoided by taking out the child * portion before seasoning t.he dish for the family. It is far better to give thc child his meal apart from the family when you may take lime to train him in good i eating hahita. The vulue of milk cannot be over- i estimated; use cf oatmeal, hominy and cornmeal as the chief source of energy ' is always wise; little w no meat is necesfiary until a child is six y<\irs i old; little or no sugar is needed if the t i-hild has the proper fruits.
