This receipt has been tested in a hotel in Oregon that was literally alive with them. The salt was scattered over the floors, and for a few days, while the atmosphere was dry, appeared to have no effect on them; then came a drizzling rain for two or three days, the dampness melted the salt, anO all the bugs in the house swarmed to the outside and remained there in rows close to the battens. believe there were twenty thousand of them of all shades and sizes.

One of the most extraordinary inci dents that has yet occurred in connec tion with evictions took place in Cash- el bn Monday last. . At the last petty j the reminiscences of dotted lines occu sesslons held in Cashel the representa-j py' thousands of pigeonholes; a library tives of the late Dr. Daniel Kyto pro- of crooked marks is piled to the eeil cefded against a weekly tenant named , ing of a five-slory block on Monroe Mr. Frank Dwyer for possession of a I street. It is the lartrest man house in weekly tenement, situated in William street, for non-payment of rent. The defense setup was that Mr. Kyte had left Dwyer the house;, together with a coffin, which he kept beside him in his room, but, notwithstanding this contention, the justices gave a decree for possession Before the eviction Dwyer, better known as "Franky Doodle,' made preparations on a somewhat extended scale to barricade the phtce. On Monday morning the town bailiff proceeded with a party of police to William street to carry out the order of the magistrates. The house, as already stated, was barricaded, "Franky" making his appearance at one of the windows, shouting: 'You can't evict me out of the coffin. I will go into the coffin, and you must put ine out, coffin and all." After some further parley on the part of "Franky" and the police, he agreed to give up possession, but only on condition that he should be evicted while in his coffin. The key of the door was then thrown down, and the barricades bein? removed, the bailiffs and th'j police, entering at once, pro Mjdod to put "Franky" out. whom Ihey found still lying in the coffin. Owirig. however, to the stairs being to r.urrow they h:id to put the coffin with its living inmate out through one of the windows. The sight was certainly a novel one, and not without its amusing aspect baiuil and police lowering an unpaiuted and open coflin. within which whs stretched, or rather reclined. Franky," in excellent health and wearing a high silk hat. around wliich was twined an old white veil. As he descended he protested to the assembled crowd against his "illegal eviction," but if one might judge from the boisterous laughter that was heard on a'l sides the spectators seemed greatly to enjoy the scene. As soon as the coffin reached terra fir ma the boys." who seemed inclined for more fun, raised it up. placed it on their should. -rs. and proceeded up the main street, followed by a large gathering cheering lustily for "Franky" as he sat upright in it. Clonmel (Ire.")Chron iele. BOUND TO SUCCEED. Story or a Srotrh laid Who Waa Determined to Klse In the World. The following is one of the tradi tions of a manufacturing firm in Glas gow. Scotland. Thirty years ago. a barefoot, ragged urchin presented him self In-fore the dsk of the principal part ner and asked for work as an er- rand-lxry. "There's a deal o running to be ilune," said Mr. Hlank, jestingly, affect ing- a brad Scot eh accent. "Your first qualification wud be a pair o shoon." The boy. with a grave nod. disap peared. He lived by doing odd jobs in the market, and slept under one of the stalls. Two months passed before he saved enough money to buv the hoes. Then he presented himself be fore Mr. Bland one morning, and held out n package. 'I have the shoon. sir," he said quietly. "Oh:" Mr. Blank with difficulty re called the cireumstan-esi "You want a place? Not iu those rags, my lad. l ou w ould disgrace the house." The boy hesitated a moment, and then went out without a word. . Six mouths passed before be returned, de cently clothed in coarse but new gar ments. Mr. Blank's interest was roused. For the first time he looked at the boy attentively. His thin. bloodless face showed that he had stinted himself of food for months in order to buy those clothes. The man ufacturer now questioned the boy care fully, and found to his regret that he could neither read nor writo. "It is necessary that you should do both lie fore we could employ you in carryiug home packages," he said. "We have no place for you." The lad s face grew paler; but, with out a word of complaint, he disap peared. He now went fifteen miles into the country, and found work in 6table3 ne ir to a niffht-sehool.

Hot ami Lines and ( rooked Marks That Keqnlre Months of Labor. The story of a dot a .fortune in a hair-line is the making of a map. Dot stories fill a row of walnut eases; the world, und for twelve years has printed 1.000,000 maps a week 624. (XJO.OOO pieces of linen paper covered with dots, lines and crooked marks. Fortune lies in the accuracy at the lines and stories in the locations of the dots. . Maps are as necessary to real estate men as title deeds,, and nearly as much depends on their accuracy. A map is a plain, simple thing that tells its varnished tale at a glance. How is it made? Until about the time of the gnat fire maps were engraved on stone, copper or steel. The process was very slow, tedious and expensive. The "plates soon wore out and maps cost about as much as a sheet of goltL About 1870 a Buffalo man invented the process of making maps on wax. It revolutionized map-making, and now maps are as common and nearly as cheap as newspapers. The map-maker works in a room whose temperature can not run below ninety degrees. Few men work at it longer than four years, though years of apprenticeship are required to make them expert. The lieat becomes un endurable in the end and they go into some other employment. Preparatory to making the original plate melted beeswax and some hard ening ingredient are poured on a highly polished metal table. . For fine work the wax is as thin as a piece of paper, but for the coarser kind the waxen sheet is an eight of an inch thick. Rough pen and ink drawings of the work to be done are given the oiierators. They draw the hair-lines with sharp-pointed instruments by the aid of straight-edges. The dotted lines ; indicate county or township boundaries are made with little wheels, on whor narrow edge are cut the peculiarly re designed lines. AU crooked lines are made by hand and require an artift's eye. The names of towns, river, countries and the like are impressed in the wax in typa letter by letter. Every impression must cut through the wax to the polished steel plate beneath, for the map is made face down. When all the lines aad letters are in, the wax is plaeed under a cooler temperature, which hardens it. The wax fs then covered with black lead and the steel plate, with its waxen coat, is smpaaiei in an electrotyping solution. The copper in the solution covers the black lead and forms a hard plate which is called the original. The wax is then peeled off and the printing surface is presented. The thin copper plate is backed up with type metal and the plate is ready for use. It is usually preserved, however for the making of stereotype plates from which the actual printing is done. In the preparation of the etching's great care is required to keep the wax at the proper temperature, as a de gree too low would "make it hard to work aud a degree too high would melt and probably destroy it. Often many hundred thousand maps of the :ime pattern are ordered and from twenty to forty plates are made from the original. If the maps are small so many of these plates as can be used conveniently are placed side by side on the presses and a sheet of maps is printed at each impression. The or dinary advertising real-estate map is finished when it leaves the press. The better maps are sized and varnished. The larger ones are mounted on roll ers and wooden strips, lhis com-i pletes the mechanical process of the i making of a map. But this is the smallest part of a map. J he unseen worfe, the prepara tion of the original draft, represents the time, labor and money expended. The story of the dot is not woven in a dav. Post-office towns are located hv copies of papers in the Post-office De partment at Washington; the chief en gineers of the railroads send profiles of their lines; county surveyors make maps of their localities. Where the Government has made surveys the lo cation of a section, township or coun ty line is easily made. But the six mile township system was not thought of until the Western reserve of Ohio was surveyed. In the older States, where a boundary line begins at a stone and runs to a whil-e-oak tree, the trouble begins. Good local maps are used in these States. But in countries where no Government surj veys have been made the greatest difficulties are encountered. --Chicago A'etcs. o- a Major Smith "Colonel Jones, can you tell mo where General RoVhison got his military title?"

The Probable Crista of the Polaonoua Prla ciple in UIry Products. The causes of poison cheese re mained a mystery, in a scientific point of view, ontil : the investigations of Prof. Vaughn, of Michigan, estab lished the fact of the presence of tyro toxieoh in poison cheege. Since then, numerous investigations have served to eonitrm t.h s eAiilta of t"h nrft. feasor's experiments. Quite recently. Dairy Commissioner Ives, of Minne sota, has investigated, in his official capacity, a case of poisoning by eating cheese, which has attracted a good deal of attention. The thorough anal ysis of the cheese by the State Chem ist, Prof. C. W. Drew, showed it to contain tyrotoxieon. Otherwise the cheese appeared to be of excellent quality and extraordinarily rich in fat. An analysis of four different samples of whole milk cheese, by ProL Drew, showed the presence of fat as follows: No. 4S had 21.46 per cent, of fat; No. 49 had 36.46 per cent.; No. 50 had 89.14 per cent; and No. 51 had 32.44 per cent, of fat. No. 50 was the sample of poison cheese and was very rich in fat, as will be seen. - This excess of fat leads -to a suspicion that a portion of it might be due to " pecular chemical changes undergone through destruc tive fermentation. No signs of adul teration appeared. There was only the presence of the usual quantity of annatto applied for coloring. ; - But here let us remark that annatto, as obtained in market, is not always the pure vegetable substance that some suppose. It is not on!y adulterated in some cases with lead and other ingre dients, but is polluted with nrine ap plied to make it keep and to brighten the color. This accounts for the urin- . ous odor too often given off by basket annatto. So annatto is not always the harmless and clean substance that has onz been ponularlv su noosed and taught. "' " - - - But, in the case under consideration, as given us personally by Dairy Com missioner Ives and Prof. Drew, there does not appear to be any thing un usual in the coloring matter used. So the poisonous character could not be reasonably attributed to this -cause. In all four samples analyzed the fats were found to be pure. But the presence of tyrotoxieon was unmistakable. Now, whence the presence of this poison? It does not appear to have been introduced. The inference is that it was generated. It is well known that decomposing albuminous compounds act as a ferment and a small portion introduced into the cir- culatory system of a human being be comes a very violent poison, often, if Tot al wa vs. nrodneintr dftath. Manv a surgeon has lost his life by the intro duction, through a slight abrasion of the skin, of a minute portion of de- , composing " albuminous tissue from a corpse. .' . '. ': In all probability, the poisonous principle in cheese has the same origin from decomposing albuminous mat ter. Through carelessness and tm cleanliness, decomposing matter finds its way into cheese, to there act as a ferment and develop . tyrotoxieon throughout the entire mass. . Hence it is self-evident that too much care can not be taken in cheesa factories to keep every thing scrupulously clean. Every thing that touches tie milk should not only be carefully washed in warm water, to which a little sal-soda or other alkali had been added, but afterwards thoroughly scalded in boil ing water water at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. If this were done in all cases, we do not' believe we should so often hear of poison cheese, if we did at Kll. In view of these now known facts. nncleanliness in a cheese factory be comes criminal; but in view of some of our experiences, we should not be sur prised to find that the germs of des tructive and poisonous fermentation are often introduced through the ren net tub, which in many cases we have found to smell more like carrion than any thing fit to be introduced into human food. For this reason we call the special attention of officials having the matter in hand to the ren net tub, when they next have a case of poison cheese. It is a fearful source of off-flavor and quickly decomposing cheese, and why not of poison cheese? Prairie Farmer.
