The Oregonian says, from much
of the talk going one might sup

If anybody is troubled with
squirrels, and our farmers mora or
leas are, d-n't depend on shooting,
trapping or strychnine, These
methods are too slow and expen

and fully as effective. Take car
bon bisulphide, though, put it in
the runway of the squirrels and
stop up the holes, an 1 the-gas that
is generated is fatal to the penUs.

If there b, in this vale ot tears, a
more prolific source of misery than the
rheumailam twinge, we have yet to
hear of h. People are born with a
tendency to rheumatism, Just as thoy
are with one to consumption or to
scrofula. Hllgbt cauaes may develope
tills. As soon as the agonising com
plaint maulfmts Itself, recourse should
be had to Hoatetter's Btoruach Bitters,
which checks Its further Inroada and
bnulahcs the rheumatic polaon from
the eyatm. This statement tallies
exactly with the tmtlmony of physi
cians who have employed this Que

Children Mart Sleep.
There is nothing that little folks
need to much or that helps their
physical development so largely a
plenty of sleep. Until they are 15
yean old they should have at least
10 Hours or nature s great restorer.
An authority on such matters says
that they never should be awakened,
but allowed to sleep until of their
own accord they are ready to get up.
School and household duties, how
ever, make such a course impracti
cable, but If they are put to bed
early enough they will be quite
ready to rise without calling at a rea
sonable hour. Bedtime can be made
pleasant by the telling of a story or
a few especially loving ministra
tions and caresses that will make
this hour a period to be anticipated
rather than dreaded. St Louis Re

Two gentlemen were back of me.
One said to the other:
"Just look around. You cant see

What did he mean? Hooked around
also, Evidently there were none in

"That's so. You don't see them
much now. I presume they will
come back again soon. They come
in fads. Oue follow who is popular

follow suit" Curiosity had opened
my ears at first Desperation was
straining them now.
"Yes, generally one bright fellow

A year ago in any auditorium in the

For years the question whether
water wheels run faster at night
than during the day has been cata
logued among the things which no
man can find out
They do if they are so geared as to
be affected by the varying fullness
and speed of the current in which
they are set. There is no doubt that
all streams are fuller and all streams
cany more water at midnight than
they do at noon. In the first place,
the increased coolness of the air pre
vents evaporation and subsequent
drying up of the smaller tributaries,
and, in the second place, the condensa
tion of the mojsture in tiie air in tha

shape of dew la always sufficient to
add something to large streams and
their branches. Heavy dews are often
so copious aa to be almost equal to a
small shower of rain. We often hear
dewdrops falling from the overloaded
leaves and find all exposed objects aa
wet as if they had undegone a shower
during the night A large portion of
this moisture must get into the mi
nute channels, which of course con
duct it to mill streams.
"Often," says Humboldt, "the ef
fect upon a shallow stream' la very
noticeable indeed." If it is at aU
"noticeable, " a wheel turned by such
a stream would "go faster by night
than by day.1 Indianapolis Newa.
tae Vaa ef St. Barbara.
The feast of St Barbara, like that
of 8t Martin, ia a soldiers' fete in
Italy. The heroio jrlrL if we mar
believe an old story of the tenth cen
tury, waa an angel of beauty and vir
tue, born in a fortress where her
father, Dioeooro, was the governor
and also aid-decamp to the emperor,
Maximilian. 8t Barbara first saw
the light in Italy in her father's beau
tiful villa near Scandriglia, a gift
from the emperor to his general, rich
with mineral waters, marvelous
plants, statues, etc, where she passed
the first few years of her life, and
whore she became a convert to the
Christian religion, ' , . , .
The-beautiful afrlwaa hunted to
death, taken prisoner, her breasts
were out off, and she waa exposed to
brutal soldiers, who took nnsnamlon
of her, fastened her to a stake, covered
ner witb quicklime and burned her
to death, and this she suffered rather
than renounce the religion aha had
embraced. This, at least, is the leg
end, and the artillery and the eagi-
tron, to whom thoy show much re
spect and gratitude, especially aa
they have half the day free and dou

: Pur Flour aad Biaa. , ,
Those who mistake the flour of dirt
for a natural characteristic of flour
are not likely to be safe guides in
anything relating to flour. Unrefined
sugar is noted for its "flavor," but
the flavor is merely the dirt or extra
neous matter in the sugar. So it is
with unrefined flour. The stalk of
the wheat, is quite as digestible as
the bran and is quite similar in com
position. The bran faddists ought to
insist on smashing bran, awns and
stems all at once into meal Then
they would have a meal in which
nothing Is wasted exoept the con
sumer. The consumer should be
guided by experience. If bran Agrees
with him, he is right in eating it If
it disagrees with him, he is right in
refusing to eat it The moraliters
who are trying to make out that the
millers are doing a great wrong in
making pure flour have everything
against them nowadays. Milling

-' Whither the Wlndi Bore Him.
It is said of an old time Maine
preaoher, Father BkisdelL who was
the pioneer missionary along the
Maine coast that he would launch
his boat and sail before the wind, and
where the wind took him he would
land and preach. At one time, so
the story goes, the wind bore him di
rectly toward laleaboro. Just be
fore getting there, however, the wind
shifted, and although he waa within
a few rods of the land he turned his
boat and with the wind Bailed off to
another town, where he landed, held
meetings and started one of the
greatest revivals ever held under his
ministry. Rockland (Me.) urarier-

The Listener wants some one to in

shall have wheels and also a set of
runners, and be furnished with a
lever so placed and geared that when
the vehicle to moving over good solid
snow it will go on the runners, but
when a thin or bare spot is reached,
the lever may be operated and the
runners drawn up, and then the ve

Management of the Spoon,
Use the spoon only to stir tea or
coffee i never use it to sip or drink
with. As soon as the liquid is stirred
place the Bpoon in the saucer and
leave it there during the remainder
of the meal If a second cup is de
sired, pass the cup with the spoon in
the saucer, not in the cup. Do not
