Contagious Blood Poison has brought more'suffering, misery and humila

But the next minute be had such a
surprise! A great, loud, hearty voice
cried, "Why, hello, Hubert! So you've
got back again ! I low do you do ! How
do you do ! I'm glad to see you ! Yes,
that's so. Whoa. Kitty! Stand still,
whoa; Bow wow-ow! Bowwow-ow!
Lie down, Prince! Yes, good dog!
Good Prince!" And then came a sound
like the squeaking of the screen.
A more astonished little boy could
not be found. He expected every min
ute to see the master of the house walk
through the curtain before him, but
there was only the soft fluttering sound
he had heard before. I was very hard
to sit still. He wanted to go into the
next room and see who it was that was
calling him, and what all the conyno-
tlon was about; but mother had al
ways told him not to walk about or
to meddle while waiting.
Just then the maid entered the din
ing room to prepare the table for sup
per, making Just a little bit of noise
with the silver and dishes. Then the
voice cried again, "Is that pretty good?
I want some! I want some! Caw!
caw! caw! Pretty Poll! Pretty Poll!
And then Hubert knew that it was the
parrot talking all the time.
He wanted to go in more than ever,
but Just that moment the maid brought
In the note be was asking for, and he
was obliged to go.
"But how did he know my name?" he
asked his mother. "It was Just like
Mr. Gray's voice."
Don't you remember Mr. Gray's first
name?"
'No. Mamma, you always call him
Mr. Gray.'
"Well, !fs Hubert, Just like yours.
The parrot was just Imitating both Mr.
and Mrs. Gray's talk when he drives
out of the city and the dog runs to
meet him. They say it is very funny
to hear the parrot coax for something
to eat when they are dining. The
Gray's parrot is a wonderful bird.
Some day we will go over and visit him.
I don't wonder you were surprised,
sitting there all alone. It isn't every

"The lad was so Ignorant," he said,

FOE WOOD PRESEBVATIOIT.
Fooling a Wolf.
A boy 12 years old, the son of a
pioneer In Montana, observed a wolf
sneaking about one day last January.
He took a sheep skin and spread it
over a low bush in such a way that it
resembled the live animal, and after a
time the wolf made a dash for It
He detected the fraud at once, and
Instead of galloping away with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him, he dropped It and
sneaked off with his tall between his
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim of n Joke, and he felt
the same as a boy who had been April
fooled.
Efforts of Uncle Sam to Prereat De
cay of Valuable Lambrr,
Uncle Sam Is making careful and
elaborate investigations of methods of
preserving wood, which are expected to
result In the savings of millions of dol
lars annually by the prevention of de
cay. It has been determined that coal
tar creosote is a most effective preser
rative of timber and a number of ex
periments are being made along this
line.
Those most directly and materially
Interested In the experiments In the
toethods of creosote treatment are the
railroad companies, the mining Inter
ests of the country and the telephone
companies.
All of these Industries expend mill
tons of dollars every year In renewing
timber which Is made useless through
rapid decay. The growing scarcity of
the more durable woods has made It
necessary for the lumber Industry to
turn to the less durable timbers. The
economical utilization of many woods
which are very susceptible to decay
would be out of the question but for
the possibility of preserving them
through treatment.
It has been shown In the experiments
which have been made that the life
of some kinds of timber can be doubled
or trebled by Impregnation with creo
sote oil.
A representative of the forest service
Is now visiting a number of the large
eastern cities In the study of creosote
oil production and the coal tars which
furnish the raw material for it The
commercial use of preservatives will
check the work of the Insects and fungi
which destroy the timber.

A Child's Playroom. ,
In the best homes the nursery Is the
most carefully planned room In the
house. It should always have sunlight,
for the sun vitalizes the air and kills
germs. The windows should always be
open, for ventilation prevents disease.
To keep out the dust stretch cheese
cloth over the netting and to prevent
draughts have a ventilating board nail
ed across the foot of the window.
Have small furniture with rounded
corners. Imagine our discomfort if we
were obliged to live among furniture
designed for the use of giants twelve
feet high. Have no unwashable cur
tains or draperies, iveep the rooms
simple.
In a millionaire's house In New York
the nursery has tiled walls, and on
each tile is painted a Bcene from Moth
er Goose. It Is enough to worry and
distress the mind of any child. The
tiles are beautiful foi; hygiene, but very
expensive.
Leave the walls bare, tinted In some
plain, delicate shade, perhaps. Have a
