The ctreful housewife was always In­

as an annoyance rather than a peril,
just as we used to think the mosquito

have learned much In recent years of

war against this pest has become a
matter of sanitary concern as well a-

So when the fly comes buzzing from
the nearest stable to wander over the
meat end vegetables and fruit spread
out in the market, or upon the kltch

enemy. It is established by observa
tlun that epidemics of typhoid fever
in camps, for example, have been due
to the infection of food by flies, and
while this particular danger may not
be frequently present in town, it 1 b
one to be remembered—at least as a
reminder that the warfare agalnBt flies
is a serious matter. The careful
screening of windows and doors is
probably the most effective means of
immediate protection, but the same
persistent care against whatever will

kind is called for by thia most persist­
ent visitor. The summer Is his sea-

Life Imprisonment for the man,
twenty-five years besides a fine for
the woman—such penalties i wll
universally regarded as none
heavy for the kidnapers of Willie
Whltla, or, Indeed, for any kidnap-
ers who try to gain money In this
cruelest of ways. The woman tries
to gain sympathy by pointing to the
withering of her youth In the grim
walls of the prison. No withering of
strong life Is pleasant to contemplate,
but it is better that this woman with-
er In confinement than that mothers
and fathers, deprived of their chil­
dren, should suffer worse pains, and
the children themselves should be ex
posed to the evils which too often fol­
low such crimes. The man tries to
gain sympathy by pointing to an in­
stigator of the crime In the very fam­
ily of the victim. He only succeeds
In making one fact sure, and that is
that he himself was a blackmailer be-
fore he became a kidnaper. He puts
himself in all the worse light. If
some other person was accessory or
principal in this crime the full pen­
alty for him Is also desirable, but
that does not affect the justice of the
present convictions.
The effective
work of tho police in catching the
criminals and the speedy administra­
tion of justice by the Pennsylvania
courts are both deserving of praise.
The police are the more to be praised
because they acted not In co-opera­
tion with but against the efforts of a
father whose love for his boy explains
but does not excuse his disregard for
the interests of all other children in
his haste to compound with crime,
The result of the Whltla case should
be not an Incentive to other crimes of
the sort, as appeared probable before
the criminals were captured, but a
distinct discouragement to would-be
emulators. In so far it has been a
social benefit.

"Some years ago,” says a Boston law­
yer, "a man in Nantucket was tried
for a petty offense and sentenced to
four months in jail. A few days after
the trial the judge who had Imposed
sentence, in company with the sheriff,
was on his way to the Boston boat,
when they passed a man busily en­
gaged In sawing wood.
“The man stopped his work, touch­
ed his hat politely and said, ‘Good­
morning. your honor.'
"The judge, after a careful survey
of the man's face, asked:
" 'Isn’t that the man I sentenced to
jail a few days ago?"
“ ’Yes.’ replied the sheriff, with some
hesitation, ‘that’s the man. The fact
is. judge, we—er—we don't happen to
have anybody else in jail Just now,
so we thought ft would be a sort of
ureless expense to hire some one to
keep the jail four months just for this
one man So I gave him tho Jail key
and told him it would be all right if
he’d sleep there o’ nights.' ”—Harper’s

SCHOOL GARDEN WORK.
HE school garden work of the past few
years has not only given the school build­
ings themselves more attractive surround­
ings, but it has been the means of de
veloping in the children a Bense of pro­
prietorship in the growing things, and of
inspiring an embryonic civic spirit that
promises well for tiie Washington of a few years hence.
It is impossible to estimate the benefits which the city
has gained from this work, modestly started, and for a
season or two conducted under discouraging difficulties,
but loyally persisted in by the teachers until it has come
to be recognized as one of tiie important branches of
school work. Hie direction of the children’s attention
on a certain day to the importance of the vine as a
means of improvement is in the line of wholesome edu­
cation, and every adult In the district should emulile
the example which the youngsters will set day after to­
morrow.—Washington Star.
THE ART OF JURY-MAKING.
HE American art of jury-making was a jest
and a scandal even before "The Glided
Ago” depicted Its technique, thirty-six
years ago. Not for a day since have men
out of court ceased laughing at or bewatl-
Ing its Imbecilities, or men in court been
able to restrain their anger over the de-
lays and injustice caused by the Bearch for talesmen
"without prejudice." Yet judges are still forced to per
mlt attorneys to toll along In the same old rut, as
though it were a sacred way. A week was spent
hunting Jurors for the Hains trial. Five were chosen,
after 177 citizens had been tediously cross examined, and
to secure two more 150 additional talesmen had to be
called. As soon as they expressed any knowledge about
anything they were forthwith bundled off again, The
dreary old procedure should be made to yield to a meth­
od that getB a jury together as expeditiously as
Europe—or New Jersey.—New York Evening Post.
THE FAR SEEING SULTAN.
BDUL HAMID must surely live—after
shall have been hastened upon his final
abdication—in the minds of his country­
men as the apotheosis of cunning. He has
been the John D. Rockefeller of Turkey,
playing not only the bold game for power
and wealth, but arranging for a safe and
easy cushion . upon which to light in case of mishap.
The pillagers of the imperial palace at Yildiz have
made several Interesting discoveries in the late Sultan’s
private affairs. One of them is that it was Abdul
Hamid's custom to keep large sums of money In banks
al road, using a confidential agent to make the deposits.
German banks held no less t han $10,000,000. Great Britain
and France have been his bankers, and a short timo
ago the old fox placed his confidence In certain insti­
tutions In New York.
The Eastern despot has, in common with Presidents
of Latin America, a purely selfish interest in ruling.

GOING OUT TO DINNER.
J
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ►
Mrs. Coburn had decided at the last
minute to go to town in the morning
with her husband. He fretted while
she got ready, and together they
rushed for the eight-fifteen, only to
find themselves, much to Coburn's un­
acknowledged discomfiture, in plenty
of time. His impatience he expressed
in a tirade against the slowness of
women in dressing, and the unneces-
sary fuss they made about their
clothes, A writer in the Chicago News
tells the story.
“My dress suit comes home from the
tailor to-day,” he said to his wife as
they parted. “I'll get there at five-
thirty, so we can start for that dinner
in plenty of time. And, Bess, do start
to diess before the last minute!"
At twenty five minutes to six Coburn i
rang the bell furiously and long. The
maid and Mrs. Coburn arrived at the
door simultaneously.
"Thought you'd never come,” he
said, as he filing himself out of his
overcoat and dropped it on the stairs.
"I must have lost my latch-key. Did
the tailor send my suit?—oh. there’s
the box. Looks all right, but you
never can tell. Where on earth are
my diess shirts? 1 haven't one in
sight—"
He paused as his wife took his
hands out of the bureau drawer, which
he was frantically pawing from top
to bottom.
“Not in there.” she said. “That’s
the drawer your socks and handker­
chiefs are kept in. Here they are!”
“Oh!" he exclaimed, slightly molli­
fied. “Afcn’t you dressed yet, Bess?
I wish you'd put in the links and
buttons for me. And say, will you
hunt up my ties?
“Ask Mary to see If the patent­
leather polish is down-stairs, will you,
and telephone Bill not to come out
this evening I foigot to tell him we
wouldn't be home!"
Mrs. Coburn, in her kimono, and
with her hairpins in her hands, flew
one way and Mary flew the other. The
roar of running water and mighty
splashings came from the bath-room.
"You’ve
got
those
buttons in
wrong!" he cried, presently. "Still
in that kimono? You'll be late, sure
as fate!”
He emptied the tailor’s box and pro­
ceed^ to don his new clothes.
A
gror.n brought Mrs. Coburn to find him
twisting his head round perilously and
staring into the mirror with an an­
guished face.
“Awful!” he moaned. "Give them
away—burn them up they don’t fit!”
“Now. Harold.” said hl* wife, xe i
He is a patriot only when it Is absolutely convenient
for political purposes. The power, the luxury, the Ori­
ental love for concentrated and unemployed wealth
alone make the throne attractive. The Sultan did no
little to Improve the state of his country, but travelers
Insist that he did this reluctantly. He undertook rail­
road building because It kept the soldiers—who did the
build jg—busy and placed In parts of the empire where
they eould plot to little advantage. Western ideas en­
tered the country slowly—and it Is proof of the Sultan’s
cunning that he long opposed them, for when European
thought did become widespread In Turkey It brought
about the fall of Abdul Hamid.—Toledo Blade.
THE SIMPLIFIED SPELLING FAD.
NE of the silliest tilings that Andrew Car­
negie ever did with a portion of those
surplus millions, upon the disbursement of
which depends his happy and peaceful
deathbed, was to permanently endow a
simplified spelling board. Simplified spell­
ing, like many another reform attempted
in the United States, was a fad. Certain writers and
teachers over the country became for a time greatly in­
terested In the subject, and the matter reached the
height of its popularity when President Roosevelt In­
dorsed It. and it was at that time that Andrew Carnegie
was moved to invest some excess money in the progress
of this much needed reform.
And now the fad has passed. Such newspapers and
journals ar. adopted a portion of the changes advised
by the Simplified Spelling Board have dropped the most
of them, and were it not for the conscientious efforts
of the board to earn salaries and the continual flooding
of newspapers and teachers with the literature setting
forth the changes which they allege are desirable in
the spelling of English words, the whole matter of sim­
plified spelling would be as forgotten as the Interest
o»ce felt in the age of Ann.—Fort Worth Record.
PARENTAL DUTIES FORGOTTEN.
HE doctors say that most of the babies of
the poor are quite as strong and healthy
at birth as any, but that the summer mor­
tality among them is due to improper feed­
ing and inadequate care. The babies born
in the spring, who thus become frail, suc­
cumb to the first week»» of very hot weath­
er, the Infant death rate Jumps up, and there Is a hue
and cry to “save the babies.” But the babies in greatest
need of care have been lost before tiie summer work is
under way. The new plan is to give them proper care
from the week of their arrival, so that they may be
fortified against the first descent of hot weather.
It is a beautiful and thorough going scheme and high
ly to be commended for its practical good sense. But
It leaves an old fashioned man rather gasping to know
what has become of the duties of parenthood, and just
why they should end with a birth certificate. It is,
however, a clear economic waste to allow children to die
because the homes Into which they come are unable,
from ignorance or poverty, to bring them to healthful
maturity.—Brooklyn Eagle.
etrainingly, "what is the trouble? Of
course that coat wrinkles when you
twist yourself up like that!”
“Can’t you see?” he stormed, "the
coat's ruined! It’s cut too low in the
neck! The shoulder hunches! Look at
the sag here! And the trousers are too
tight! That man a tailor? - He ought
to be breaking stones!"
"Let me hold the mirror and you
stand still and take a look,” command­
ed his wife.
He did so, and then coughed.
“It’ll have to do for to-night,” he
said. “Where’s my hat? I'll bet ft’s
still packed away in moth-balls. Oh,
did you get It down? It smells like a
drug shop. Aren’t you dressed yet?
I’ll go down-stairs, and please hurry
up. Wonder where my overcoat is —
ugh!”
Coburn fell over the overcoat at the
bottom of the stairs, and promptly
examined his new suit and shirt-front
for possible damages, His eye caught
the clock.
“Bess,” he yelled, “it’s quarter of
seven! YVe’ve Just fifteen minutes to
drive four miles! You've had the
whole afternoon to dress—’’
"My dear boy,” said his wife. sweet-
ly, “you sit down and be quiet, Now
that I've got you dressed, I’m going
to finish myself. That clock is half an
hour fast. 1 set it ahead, and the one
up here, too. for I knew just how
It would be when you started getting
ready.”
Coburn sat down to wait without
a word.

What an Actre«« Lenrna About the
Art of Individuality in Dre««.
The actress soon learns to approach
the subject of dress In a way that rare­
ly occurs to the average woman upon
whom its necessity is not enforced—
though that necessity exists in ordinary
life quite as much as on the stage, and
overlooking it is the secret of much of
the bad dressing we see. says Julia
Marlowe in Women's Home Companion,
The actress is bound to wear clothes
that will keep her in the picture, and
such favorable attention as she attracts
by her clothes is due to the design,
material or style of the gown Itself
only so far as these all melt Into tho
scene in widen they are worn.
How much tiie average woman could
learu in this one particular from tiie
hard school of stage experience! Hour
few women know how to choose even
a house gown that is in harmony with
the surroundings of their own homes.
Of course, dressing for the street IS
more difficult, but «wen there ordinary
forethought would prevent many of tho
selections in dress which American
women allow themselves. Dressing for
the social function Is the most difficult
of all, on this very nccount, for there
each woman is at the mercy of other
women present, most of whom have
dressed with no thought of the envlrois-
ment, while on tiie stage the actresg
knows that every other costume, like
her own, lias been calculated for the
picture.
And this principle allows plenty of
latitude for individual taste and jiid#-
ment in dress. Even we stage women
develop Ideas of our own and have our
favorite kinds of costumes. I don't
know of a part in which I take mort
comfort than I’arthenla in “Ingomar,”
and I believe in tiie artistic lines and
graceful freedom possible in the looser
flowing style of dress in vogue before
the days of stays and prim-ess gown*
The terrible question, "Where shat
we spend the summer?” is again ramp
ant. None the less terrible to the de
elding member of the family, perhaps
are the numerous “best places in th«
world" which are freely and sincerely
recommended. The man in the fol
lowing story had a good answer, ac
cording to a writer in the Philadelphia
Record.
”1 see the railroads have been rals

ter to his companion as they cam«
into the city on a Reading train.
"Yes," replied his city friend, “but
luckily for me. it is not going tc

“Oh, I heard you speaking about
your vacation last year—great place
I believe?”
"Yes, it was.”
"Good table?”
"Best in tiie world. Wasn’t a thing
I wanted I did not have.”
“Pleasant people?"
“Delightful, and the best of li was

"Restful?”
"I should say so. Never was In t

"Beds good?”
"Great! Private bath, too.”
"I’ll bet it was expensive, though?"
“On the contrary, it was the cheap
eat holiday I ever had.”
"Goodness me, man, tell me where

The fortunate man drew a card from
his case, wrote the name on it and

CLOTHES AND THE STAGE.
WORTH TRYING
A
.
months ago has Just lamb'd in i»r»«m»r
ton. Wash. says the New York Time*,
since it left New York it has traveled
over 16,000 miles in an effort to over­
take the United States arhiored cruiser
Milwaukee, for the oilicers ami men of
which it was intended. Before it final­
ly caught up with tile big cruiser tills
sack of mail had been to San Francisco,
then to Honolulu, and buck to San
Francisco; next to Panama, then to
Honduras, back to San Francisco again,
and finally to Bremerton.
When a ship is at sea and the length
of its stay in any one port Is uncer­
tain the navy department directs tin»
relatives and friends of the oilicers and
men of that ship to aildri-ss all letter»
for the ship in care of tile postmaster
at New York. In the general run of
things tiie Milwaukee's mall in tiie New
York postotlice accumulated until there
was a well-tilled sack of letters and
parcels waiting for shipment.
One day in last July this sack of
mall was placed aboard a fust maJl
train and hurried to Chicago, where it
was transshipped to one of the trans­
continental expresses for San Francis­
co, where the Milwaukee was in port.
But before the mail arrived Comnuui-
der Rogers of tiie Milwaukee received
a hurry-up order from Washington -to
sail for Honolulu.
On the day before the Milwaukee
was due in Honolulu tiie sack of mall
was startl'd on the same journey In n
fast mall steamer, but the Milwaukee)
was l.iioo miles out, bound for I’ams-
ma, 5,000 miles away, when the uiaO
steamer was sighted off Honolulu. Two
days later the sack was on its way back
to San Francisco, where it arrived in
due time, and as tiie Milwaukee was
still between 1.500 mid 2,(MK) miles out
of Panama then, the San Francise»»
postmaster hustled the bag on a Pana-
ma-bound steamer. The cruiser, how-
ever, reached Panama first, only to be
ordered to Amapala, Honduras, a thou­
sand miles to the north, and was well
on her journey when tiie mall steamer
arrived.
The Panama postmaster found that a
vessel was leaving for Amapala within
forty-eight hours, and he transshipped
the sack of mail to that steamer, but
the Milwaukee was steaming full speed
back to San Francisco when the sack
reached Amapala.
The postmaster
there forwarded it to San Francisco.
Again the sack missed connection, as
the Milwaukee had sailed for Bremer­
ton, Wash. Arriving there, the cruiser
was put in reserve, and the bag of mail
again forwarded from San Francisco—,
this time by rail—finally reached tho
boat and was delivered to the men.
