QETTIMQ A QOWN BY DIPLOMACY. Dr. J. 4. Vityyoun, Atnrica's foremost mosquito a:ptit, was talking in Washing ton nbov the mosquito's coming exter tainntlon. "It will come," ho said, "but to has ten Its coming the public must bo drawn Into tha light. It Is on tho public that we must depend for tho mosquito's extermi nation, and, to interest tho public all Eorts of methods, tho finest diplomacy must bo used. "Diplomacy, you know, Is n remarkable agent. Tho other day a lady said to her husband: '"James, I have decided to do without a new fall street dress, nnd with tho money I shall have mother hero for a nico long visit.' "James turned on her excitedly. "Wear that old brown cloth thing an other season? I guess not," ho exclaimed. You go downtown to your tailor's today nd order something handsome. Remem ber, pleaBo, that as my wife you have a tcrtnln position to maintain.' "The wife bowed her head in submis sion. On her lips played a peculiar smile." -tr MRS. CRAIGIE'S ADDRESS. An amusing story of tho late Mrs. Cral gle, the noted novelist, was told tho oth er day at tho Authors Club In New York. "When Mrs. Cralglo was In America last year," said an editor," she was in vited to make an address at a certain meeting. She accepted the invitation, but her name, through somo oversight, was put far down on the programme, and, worse than that the chairman, a rather stupid person, introduced beforo her somo speakers who were not on the programme at all. "In short, It was close on to 11 o'clock when the chairman, with a pleasant smile bowed and said: "'Mrs. Cralgle, tho eminent author of 'Some Emotions and a Moral, will now five us her address. "Mrs. Cralgle rose and said calmly: "My address Is 60 Lancaster gate, Hyde park, W., London, and I now wish you all food night for I am far from heme.'" Ct HOW IT BALANCED. Mrs. Ada Dean, the woman Jockey of Grafton, Mass., said the other day of nobblshncss: "Tho greatest preventive of snobblsh- " ' 4yr unselfishness, sympathy. If lie' r-4rT'(!D.e0Ple' thinking them beneath hfm, "were get to know tho people ho despises, ho would llko them, and ho would percelvo that they wcrb not so far beneath him as ho had imagined. "I know a little boy, a well dressed, wealthy boy, who was playing one after noon with somo dirty urchins In rags. 'Johnny,' cried tho little boy's mother In toncB of horror, 'come here at once." 'And, when he came, sho added: '"Don't you know those are bad boys for you to play with?" '"Yes, mother,' he replied, 'but then I am a good boy, for them to play with.'" r THE REPROACHFUL WAITER. Mayor Brush, of Mount Vernon, had been describing to a visitor tho municipal Ico plant that, thanks chlotly to his work, Mount Vernon had set up. "Reproachful?" said Mayor Brush. "Yes, St Is a fact. Tho Ice trust Is re proachful now. All over the land It is re proaching sorrowfully tho cities that, sick of its extortions, havo at last set out to make their own ice. I "In this respect tho Ice Trust reminds me of a certain waiter in a Parisian cafe. "An American ordered at this cafo an hors d'oeuvro, sole, agneau, pre sale, arti choke salad, peche Melba and so on and, when tho waiter brought him a bill of 30 francs he paid It like a man "After his change was brought, ho counted It, and pushed a franc towards the waiter for a tip. "But tho man, pushing back tho franc laid In gentle reproach: '"Pardon, monsieur, but that Is the tounterfeit franc.'" SMART BOY. Old Joe, a farmer, was noted for the rnany ways he had of skimping and sav ing. Ono day he hirod a big country boy to help him with his work. The boy re ported for duty at 5:30 o'clock in the morning, and Old Joo stxt him down to breakfast. After the lad had finished the meal, the sharp old farmer said. "What do you say if wo eat dinner while we are at It?" Ab the boy agreed they fell to and ate a llttlo more. Then seeing that the youngster could eat no more Old Joe sug gested. "Suppose we finish up and eat supper, too." "All right," assented the lad, and he managed to swallow another crust of bread. "Now, let's go to work," shouted the gleeful farmer, thinking of the saving In meals he had made. "No," returned the boy. "I nover work after supper. A man's tlmo Is his own then." fir HAROLD THE SLOW. J Sam Small, the reconverted evangelist said In Atlanta the other day: "I believe In religion of the old fashion ed kind. Now fangled creeds and bizarre faiths repel mo. There is safety in the old rut after all. "Thus I know a cemetery where all the Inscriptions being conventional remain Intact. But one, a bizarre inscription, has been tampered with and made ridiculous. "The tomb has on It, at the top: 'Helen Vance, wife of Harold Vance, 1854 . I kwalt you.' Then, beneath, is carved Harold Vance, 1889. Here am I." "At the base of the Inscription some one has written: "'He took his time."' CLEANING CARPETS. Carpets should be taken up, and if not cleansed professionally should be beaton, well brushed and hung out of doors to freshen tho colors. When relaying carpets k layer of felt should be placed below them. This serves the double purpose of wear and tear and makes the rooms warniMr, For the sake of economy sheets oft paper may be substituted for felt, and make an admirable substitute. If the colors ef the carpet are dull they pay be brightened by rubbing It over pith flanael eleth wrung from water Used with i llrUe amnaoala. HOME BUILDER HINTS. By Marie Meredith. Don't forget that a poorly planned sad poorly built houso costs Just as much as the other kind. Don't try to get your house built for less than It Is worth. You will bo tho loser. Don't scrimp your building anywhere, nor forget your wlfo's comfort when you plan your house. Don't expect to heat a poorly built house economically . Don't omit to double your first floor. It will pay in comfort, healthfulncss and fuel. Don't try to build a 15,000 house for J3.000 and don't expect It of your archi tect. It can't bp done. Don't get tho poorest bulldor you can find becauso ho Is "cheapest." You will be the ono to regret It. Don't undertake to see how cheap you can build, but how well. Don't get good architecture and dry good boxes mixed. Thero Is a wldo dif ference In tholr selling value. A FALSE COUNT. Chairman NIssen, of tho customs com mittee of tho Importers and Cutters As sociation of New York, wns talking about tho jewelers' shops of tho Ruo do la Pnix In Paris. "Millions of dollars' worth of Jewels," lie said, "aro bought In theso shops by American women and smuggled Into the country. Only 10 per cent of tho women who bring over diamonds pay duty on them. "Thero Is no such array of Jewels any where In the world a9 Is to be seen in the shop windows of tho Ituo de la Palx from tho Placo Vendomo on out to the Place del'Opera. Diamonds and pearls and rubles, flawless and incredibly big, glow and glitter and blaze In a confusion that makes them seem cheap. You see so many necklaces you think they muit bo common; you can't believe they aro worth $80,000 or $90,000 apiece. "Ruo de la Palx jewels are so abundant that you aro deceived Into regarding them as fakes. You are deceived In a different way from a young actress I heard about tho other day. "Thin young actress won tho heart of nn elderly count who was visiting our shores. The count frequented her society for some months, and gavo her a great many jewels, "After ho had gone home tho young ac tress, dining with a diamond dealer, said, ns sho fingered proudly her flashing rings, her sunburst and glittering dog collar gifts of the count. "'Well, ns long as I have theso I'll never want for bread." '"Nor for pastry, cither,' chuckled the diamond dealer." A NEW SLEEPING CAR STORY. Among the railroad visitors In town yesterday wns F. A. Miller, general pas senger agent of tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. Ho visited all of tho general offices In town nnd at the Holl enden hotel yesterday told a story of one of the sleeping car porters who was re cently found" asleep on dutyT This 7s contrary to tho rules of tho St. Paul road and tho negro man was In trouble when found by the inspector on tho Pioneer Limited. Ho had his wits about him, however, nnd In response to tho Inspect or's Inquiry ns to what ho wns doing asleep, he said: "I'll tell you how It was, boss. I have only been with the company a short tlmo and beforo coming hero I was working on such nnd such a railroad. The lino was so rough the I could not got any sleep. Since I have been working for- the St. Paul the road has been so smooth that I Just could not keep awake." Mr. Miller says that while tho negro had violated tho rules, ho wa3 permitted to keep his Job on account of his wit KEEP THE CHICKENS GROWING. The question uppermost at this season Is how best to keep tho chickens growing. The prn ss in some ynrds is getting old and tough, In others It has all been pick ed off. The growing chicks require an nbnndnnt supply of green food. If you have not already done so, it would bo well to sow some rape, or better, lettuce. You will be surprised how the birds roliaJi these foods. Worms are not as plentiful as thei were a few weeks ago. Wo must supplj animal food in somo manner. Milk t drink, or mashes wet with milk, aro good The weather Is almost too warm to feed cut bone or fresh meat satisfactorily. I have doubts as to whether tainted meat Is a health producing food for chioks. 1 know it gives good results at tlmei but I have seen instance! whore it was anything but satisfactory I know of no food for summer meal equal to beef scraps. It Is expensive, bul tho esults aro worth tho most. Shade Is very Important. Wo havo It tho yardn a few rows of artichokes, alst corn nnd apple and plum trees as well at n very nice doublo row of evcrgreoi trees. The chicks favor tho artichokes ai shade. During the heat of tho day then are by far tho most chicks sitting undei the artichokes. This may bo duo to th( faot that visitors do not disturb then there, as tho growth Is thick enough si that It Is rather difficult to seo an chicks. It is interesting to watch hov the chicks enjoy finding a cool, shad plaoe to rest where thero is not muol fear of being disturbed. During a recen holiday a party called during the day tt see somo chicks ,and after going arouni tho yards asked when I sold tho chickens They said: 'We were here a few oven Ings ago and this yard swarmed witl birds, wo cannot now seo a dozen." I toll him to tako a walk through the artl chokes , where ho found them, much U his surprise. Canadian "Poultry Review. MEAN REVENGE. A magazine editor was congratulatln) Richard Harding Davis on tho success a his farces. "Could you," pursued tho editor, "tree, farcically the situation of a wife's elope ment with her husband's best friend?" Mr. Davis laughed. "One of tho principals of Just such i situation," he said, "got a good deal fun out of It. I allude to tho deserts! husband. He got fun and revencn ns wall This deserted husband, tho day after hi wife's elopement with his best frienl sent the aforesaid best friend a pack and the following letter: "Dear Sir: Please hand the enelnaav set of false teeth to my late wife, and a her to be sc good as to return my fatherl whloh, In the hurry of the moment, sb toon py mistaxe."
