Bad." '
Cbicazo Tribune.
A professional bti(;-kfllr, bo is said to be
0110 of Cblcaeo's bloa'oJ iniUionaire. was
Interviewed by a Tribune reporter. "How's,
l.unlnossr asked the reporter. "Booming,
be rep lied ; "never bad a better season iu our
life.'1 In resixmte to many questions the
bug man went on: "How do wo kill 'em?
Well, somo killers take a bug by the throat
ami cboko it till it puts out its tongue and
bogs for mercy, but that's not our plan. It
i-m't right to torture a poor bug that way.
Ab! you want some serious information;
Very well, you shall have all I know. We
divide all insects into two classes, and have a
different kind of treatment for each class.
Ooo cla. includes croton or water bugs,
cockroaches, and ants. The other includes
bedbugs, moths, potato-bugs, flies, mosqul-
toe, ami all kitvls of vermin that lives on
birds, animals or plants. The croton bug is
very numerous in this city, whifo the genuine
cockroach is rare.
THE CBOTOK-BCG.
The croton-bug will live on anything or
nothing tbey will live for a year in an
mtity bouse, but will not breed there. In
favorable circumstances they breed with
wondrous rapidity, becoming, it is said.
irroat-grandfathers every twenty-four hours
iVrbaps that's slightly exaggerated, though.
They live aud thrive best in the heat around
heated pi(w, and imperially in hotel and
nxtAtirant kitchens. Warm water is their
fuvorito beverage, and steam for a fancy
drink. Hoat ami wet combined are the con
ditions most favornhlo to their propagation.
Thuy don't deposit os- like other insects, lut
lay the n;gs in a sack which hangs to their
tails and carry thoni about with them until
they are batched; tbiy then depocit the
whole .sackful in a warm spot, where the
young bugs remsin until they grow big. One
day, for curiosity. T made a prisoner of one
that I saw bad its su-Jt well loaded, and put
it under a gl.-iss; next morning the sack had
boon droppM anil I counted forty -two young
bugs in tl: - lipoNit. I have seen millioits on
millions -if tlieso youug bugs Iieaxs2 up in
somo iiiin-t epot undwr kitchen fltHirs or tie-
si!o u hot-cutcr pipe. The female bugs seein
to lie of a grcjrious nature, and the whole
neighborhood seems to la-casionally unite
in selcting a coiumou dumpingrnund for
thoir uumeorus progeny. Then io a few
days the progeny has familios of lti
own, all of which aro torii
ami reared in the old homo-nest
BOW TIIF.Y KILL Til ESI.
"Now as U tho way we kill them. The
powder we use for this class is a chemical
compound, which they eat lieforo any other
food. It is slow in operation, but nlwaya
elfectual. Whtn tho powder is moistened by
b'iug eaten it fi!ls the iusect with gas and
they di soon after. Now, a pound of this
stuff would not kill a bed hug, simply be
Crt'jse t lieii bug would not eat it. The bed
bugs, fleas, etc , are killed by another and
touch finer iowder. Thoy inhale It and It
suffocates them It is perfectly harmless to
anything having lungs theno insects have
none, you know. For instauoe, I can blow
it over a canary until it is completely cov
ered with a thick coating without injuring
tho bird in tho least, and at the same time in
stantly killing any lice or other insects with
which it may tie infested. If tho croton-bugs
inhaled it it would kill them also, but they
can run too quick for it to have much effect
It is iustant and sure death to bed-bugs, lice,
ami all smalt vermin One day a tramp
came into the office here the dirtiest looking
fellow I ever saw. He told me the condition
he was in, and said a mau had sent him to
me. I gave him a lialf pouud box of tho
Hvder, told him to get out of the office
quick, and then culled after him telling bini
how be was to usu it. Well, ho came in the
next day smiling 'That was lightning, that
was,' be says. 'I used it last night as you
told me. and there were lOO.OXKl.lKK) of them
there with their beets turned up this rooru
ingl"
A STOBT.
"Hotels, laundries, bakeries, and restau
rants are always pestered with the water or
crotou bug restaurant kitchens perhaps the
worst. And that reminds ine of a story
ulxmt the big laundry man. He washes for
many of the leading restaurants, and among
others for Blank & lllank's. Of course you
know them everylxxiy does. I have a con
tract with the laundryman to keep bis place
clear of roaches, bugs. ' etc., and though the
work was easy I found that this restaurant
made it much bigger than it might have
been. - With every tasket of soiled things
there always came about a thousand bugs.
Thov kept the bosket in the kitchen, and
threw in the napkins, tablecloths, towels,
etc, as they got soiled, and it's a poor napkin
that won't have a feast for 100 roaches on it
wlien the restaurant peoDlo are through.
Oue day the laundryman banded me a letter
and told me to deliver it at the restaurant.
I did not do so; I sent it with a mau.
CLEAXIXO PKIYATB BOUSES.
"O. yes. I hare a larger number of con
tracts of that kind. I charge $5 or in for
cleaning a private house, and guarantee
it for a year, but tbey usually keep
free from the pest for a number of
years. It is "about two or three hours'
work to clean an ordinary private house. Of
course detached houses keep clean longer, but
the cockroaches may get in laundry parcels,
liaskets of groceries, etc.. at any time. Soma
hotels I have to go over every two mouths or
so. I got $150 last year from the Cook
county hospital, and I have cleaned the
county jail, state penitentiary, house of cor
rection, aud all the principal jniblie buildings,
hotel, charitable institutions, etc.,' iu the
oity, or I might say in tho west. O, ym. it'
n tug business, the bug IsjsinesM.
AVERTING A STRIKE.
"Do yon know, I once averted a strike in
the city Yes. a big strike too. Not as big as
the telegraphers, but may he with as much
justice in it. You know 's big seed stores!
Well, they keep over 8(10 girls there putting
up packets of seeds. ' They also used to keep
a stalT of rats to protect the seed from mice
and rata. The cats kept a staff of fleas that
eventually grew to a stauding army of enor
mous proportions. In fact the whole store
warmed with fleas from fifth floor to base
meat. . The girls well, you'll have to guess a
good deal of the story. Anyhow, an Indig
nation meeting was held and a strike threatened.-
The proprietor did not kuow what to
do. - If it had been wages be could have fixed
it up. or if it had been the discharge of non
union workers that was asked for be could have
complied. But be couldu't discharge the Oeaa.
They bad nn interest in the bnsiness, ami
were de termed to stick. Eventually I was
en 11 ;.-d in I smothered the fleas and shot the
cats, and left the proprietor pleased aud the
girls happy.

Do nr long to destroy your neighbors
simply because yon can't compel them to
think and vote as they should, which is the
wayyoujlo. It will seem to yon sometimes
that it would be very pleasant if you could
only tie a Republican neighbor to a post aud
build a fire about him, and keep it going un
til Iia could nee his ulain duty to vote the
straight Democratic ticket. And now and
then you will want to take the Democratic
candidate and tie him in a sack and drop bim
oft the suspension bridge. If he drowns he's
beaten, and if he swims the other man's
elected. But this plan would gain no votes
for the uartv in oower. They used to eioc
tionoer that way. And in every Instance the
party that owned the thumb-screws and the
whipping-posts, the fagots and the ax, lost
ground, and the fellows who were oumea,
branded, drawn and quartered handed vic
tory down to their children. My dear boy, if
you want to reform this old world don't club
It; coax it Butter it, my son; butter it. If
you can conduct the campaign on the issue of
ancieut Spain and the Kings of Castile so
much the better for the feelings or the candi
dates. Or, pitch into the Mormons. I am very
firm on the Mormon question. Scarcely a
day passes that I do not demand the iramedi
ate suppression of . Mormooism, including
Sarah Bernhardt. And at times I reproach
myself for this, too, because I never saw but
one real Utah Mormon in my life. And he
bod only one wife, and was living In a gypsy
ish fashion with his family, in the bottom
woods below Prospect Hill, near Peoria, and
he found me wandering about in tlie woods
one ilay, and taught me how to mark wild
bees and follow them, and thus find a boe
tree. And all tbo bee-tree legislation I ever
knew that wandering old Mormon taught me,
as follows, to-wit, namely, via:: that "wbur
rever a man finds e'er a bee-tree, no matter
whose land, it's hisn." An! even now, when
1 find myself abusing the Mormons, the tall,
lank, ill-clad figure, and the sunburned
lieard, brown face and long, straggling bair
loom up before me, and the pale blue eyes of
my tutor in the mysteries of wild bees and
the law of hoe-trees look at me in mild re
proach. I wish he had stnng me with a
hornet. Still, I am down on the Moriuoua.

A Saturday llair-llotidar.
Cincinnati Enquirer, t
There seems to be a, desire on tho part ot
many of our business men, particularly
wholesale merchants, to give during the
warm months a half -holiday every Saturday
to their enipko'es. Perhaps a hundred estab
lishments, some retail, now close their stores
at 1 o'clock on Saturdays, and will do so until
tho 1st or middle of September. They have
found it pays: for tho clerks, salesmen and
employes return to their duties on Monday
morning refreshed and much better fitted for
their work In Now York City the move
ment is becoming general, and nearly all
kinds of business places close at noon on Sat
urdays, some doing so all the yar round.
Banks and offices here should close at noon,
and can do so without disarranging their bus
iness. Tho following is an editorial that ap
peared in the New York Hem Id on
tho sub-ject: "The movement toward es
tablishing a Saturday . half-holiday at
least during the summer months,
is steadily progressing, and is meeting with
that sympathy and encouragement from tho
public which it well deserves. The trades
unions are taking action iu the matter, and,
as employers are beginning to realise that
there is absolute advantage gained by giving
their employes this needed rest iu the heated
term, tho movement finds no serious olistaclc
to its ultimate success. If the mutter is
properly placet! before the business men of
New York, there is no reason why not alono
all the workingmen of the city whose trades
unions are acting in tbeir liehalf, but all the
immense army of shopwomen and salesmen
who are now confined to their labors six days
in the week, should not enjoy the lament of
this half holiday. When it is once estal
lished it will be readily seen bow great its ad
vantages are to employer and employed alike
in the improved health and increased energy
of those who are the recipients of its bene
fit."

"A majority of the best journalists of our
land were graduates of the printing office
rather than the college," says The Erie Herald,
and then cites, in supjmrt of this popular
misconception, Greeley, Gales, Forney and
Raymond Out of the four, Raymond was a
college graduate and a valedictorian at that,
while Gales, the distinguished Washington
editor, came to the editor's desk not from tho
printing office, but from his studies at the
mi versity of North Carolina. If this was the
case half a century ago it is still more the
case to-day. Of the leading New York pa
pers, for instance, Tho Tribune, Times, Sun
and Evening Post are all edited by col lego
gradtintes, and this list includes, to make 110
iuvidiisis distinctions, four of tho ablest pa
pom in the country .The fact is that, while
nothing can make a mau a good editor but
good brains, a good education helps tho bust
of brains.

an actual chloral panic occurred, the labora
tories not being equal to the demand. . Then
a startling number of sudden deaths! were
found to have occurred -while patients were
sweetly sleeping under the influence of the
"eafe" hypnotic, and investigation showed
that tbe effect of chloral, was tho amtttthesi

Thence its popularity waned,' but not,, bow

more attention than any one of comtsned

"Our Special Artist," in St. Nicholas.
Speaking of Aunt Dinah reminds me of
Ben's attempt to photograph her. After all
tbe family had been duly taken, they sud
denly thought of Aunt Dinah, and rushed
into the kitchen to ask ber. She beamed
with delight at tbe suggestion, bul said, in a
sort of shamefaced way .
"Laws, houey, yer don't wauter tuk an ole
body like me."
"Yes, yes, wo do; come. Aunt Dinah! come
right along I" shouted all tbo children in
chorus.
"He, her chuckled the delighted Aunt
Dinah 1 beginning to divest herself of her
kitchen apron, "of v' aint gwine fer to take

go long, honey, go 'long I l's oouiin', I'n coin

Sure enough, out came Aunt Dinah
presently, in her best plaid apron and ker
chief, a yellow turban on, and ber gold ear
rings gleaming in tbe sun. tkiii sat her on a
bench in the garden among the sunflowers,
and she made a first-rate picture much bet

"fix things," till at length, when -all was
.eady, she had stiffened into a really foruiid
able grimuess.
Presently Ben had everything arranged to
his satisfaction, and coming to the front of
the camera he said, in a warning tone, and
with a grand air that never failed to strike
terror to tho hesart of the itiuocetit. sitter
"All ready now, take care!" and immediately
pulled off the little brass cap.
Aunt Dinah had been looking in another
direction, but at these words turned quickly
toward the instrument, and whither startled
by Ben's action or tone, or both combined, it
would lie impossible to say; but she suddenly
started from her scat and fled toward the
bouse, looking back over tier shoulder with a
terrified face, as she cried -
"Run, chil'enl Massy sakes, run! it's
gwine to go off I Seed one o' detn yer t'ings
bust afore now I Done knock eberyt'tng all

Tho children all laughed and shouted at
Aunt Dinah's fright, but nothing could in
duce her to go back and have her picture
taken.

The Hot Water 4'uro.
Chicago Tribune.
Everyliody who has' dyspeptic friends,
which, unfortunately, in this country is
equivalent to saying everybody, must haw
heard of a new and wonderful cure for that
dismal complaint and of its brilliant achieve
ments. Fortunately this blessed remedy can
not be patented, for it is nothing more nor
less than hot water a couple of glosses of
hot water taken before meals each day. It
is cheap and not nasty, and though its efUcocy
may have lieeu exaggerated and the doctors
may some day discover that it is a dreadful
insult to the stomach, there can he no doulit
that its popularity is great and rapidly In
creasing. A Poughkeepsie druggist has Imen
so impressed by this fact that be is about to
open a hot-water fountain in his store. "You
would le astonished." be said the other- day
to a reporter, "to know the numtier of peo
ple who drink hot water during the fall and
winter seasons. They are mostly invalids
and used to drink vichy awl seltzer, but uow
hot water seems to lie their popular drink. I
think a hot-water fountain in this town
would prove an excellent investmeut. The
liot water these people could get at. home Is
seldom of the proper temperature, and, what
is worse, is usually impure. I intend to
clarify the water and make it absolutely
pnre. The proper temperature to drink it at
is about 140 degrees." The lieneficial results
are surprising. .Thousands of dyspeptics
have been either completely cured or im
mensely benefited on whom every other
remedy had been tried and failed.

An inventive Mexican has been telling a
eorresponilent about the "wire" worm, a
pest- of cattle. Tho worm is descrirwd as be
ing no thicker than a guitar string, Isit as
tough as steel, while in three nights it will
grow yards long. Men use them to hang
horse thieves witb. Their bodies terminate
in two hooks, one at each end. They lie in
the grass and manage to hook onto the cattle
that are grazing. The moment they : fasten
on there in no escape from them. Tbey work
their way np slowly to the waiste of the ani
nial, where one end hooks on and the ot her
end travels around slowly and finally con
nects with itlf and pulls a tight awl daUy
lutnd around tbe victim. At- first the loop Is
not very tight, but tbe infernal thing is so
constructed that it can throw nut bonks all
along its body, und it la-gins to tighten upon
them until it cuts the animal in two.' . A rti
trewiug sight is a healthy steer drawn in
the middle so that it can't breathe, and look
