"Impossible!" they cried, gazing with ill-concealed repulsion on his ugliness.

"The ladies did it unconsciously," he hastened to add. "They were un conscious in the grip of gas at the time. And it was excuse me gas-tly. Fresh-drawn teeth were scattered about, and the declarations gurgled forth amid a stream of blood. "They all old maids.

"I read a piece in your paper about an automobile that run away with a man's mother-in-law," a correspondent writes the Adams (Ga.) Enterprise, "and I'm interested in that automobile, and would like to know the name and price of it, or if the owner would part with it for an extra consideration? The only objection to the story is that it doesn't go far enough; it says 'the automobile ran away with her, but doesn't say what happened whether the runaway was fatal, or the automobile changed its mind and turned 'round and 'came back to where it started from.

Dili Vaf Saves MllUoni She Wiutei of ldpS-'of and the spring Which followed it brought sdeh ft combiC nation of conditions in Oklahoma and northern Texas, that those states ere swept, in April and May, by a plague of "green bugs'; which did enormous damage to the wheat md oats crops, coin; pletely destroying them in many counties in those states, and doing considerable damage in Kansas, into which state the insects extended in great numbers. The estimate made by a scientist sent out by the federal Department of Agriculture was that the damage done in Texas amounted to 50,000,000 bushels of grain. In Oklahoma it was probably half that much. In Kansas it was considerably less probably not far from 10,000,000 bushels. These estimates make a total loss in three states on account of the "green bug's" activities of approximately 85,000,000 bushels of grain, worth, had it been harvested and marketed, not less than $60,000,000.

Prof. S. J. Hunter, head of the department of entomology in that institution, at once recognized the danger and soon devised a remedy. He sent, out several field agents to locate a sufficient supply of the spring grain aphis' most rapidly multiplying enemy, a wash-like paraitp.

Three or four days sufficed to locate, near Enid, Oklahoma, a wheat field in which the crop had been hopelessly ruined by the insects, but to which the paraHe had followed the bugs in great numbers. Tha already ruined crop was purchased for a eongand a small corps of men began cutting the smitten stalks, packing them in boxes and shipping'them, laden with both green bugs and parasites, to the University of Kansas. There they were kept in cold storage until they could be parcelled into small packages, the cold holding iu suspension the development of the parasites. The small packages. about the size of cigar boxes, were sent, by mail or express," to all wlio applied for them.

The enormous number or parasites thus handled may be reckoned when it is known that 8,932 boxes were sent out over the state, each box it was estimated, 30,000 parasites a total of considerably more than 250 millions. these were only the progenitors, the starting stock the "seed," so to speak. The success of the experiment is vividly told under the title "Tiny Wasp Saves $60,000,000 a Year," in the February Technical World Magazine.

I Unknown Pisplei of ArneHcl Whd Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied of by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory. thousand miles long and S00 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Nor-den's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. In one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof.

Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at. its zenith were tnot more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations.

No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth" was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of design, richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day surpasses it. MAKES KNOTTY POINT LAW. Owners of Property Have Right to FA bid Flight of Airships. A law framed thousands of years ago by the ancient Romans, and the only one bearing on the subject, may have to be amended or wholly nullified before airships go shooting about through space at their own sweet will.

This Important fact was brought out at a meeting of aeronauts In London. At present nobody has the right to fly across occupied land. The world is governed by the ancient Roman law, "Usque ad Coelum." It means that every landowner has a right to the air above his head as far up as he chooses to go, and can get an injunc tion to restrain anyone from flying through it. So far nobody has attempt ed to put the law in force. It would be most uncomfortable, not to say dis astrous, for a farmer suddenly to emerge from his barn or smokehouse and pepper one's airship with bullets.

The fact that the aeronaut from his lofty perch could not be expected to 4see the "No Trespass" sign might not prove a mitigating circumstance with the rural magistrate. Where She'd Wear It. Somebody sent this to the society editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and made affidavit that it really hap pened. Here it is: They were out at an card party. A stout woman dropped a card to the floor.

"Would you be so kind as to pick up that card for me?" she, Inquired of the lit tle woman at her right. "Certainly," said the accommodat ing woman at the right, picking up the card. "You see," explained the stout wom an, "I've got on a brand new $50 corset, and I'm afraid I'll strain it if I lean over." ''Hum!" commented the other wom an, enviously. "If I had a $50 corset I'd wear it on the outside. I really would." Strength of Money.

When we consider the amount of wear and tear to which a bank note is subjected, we ought to be able tc realize its physical strength. In a re cent experiment sheets were drawn at random from piles of paper weigh ing 14 pounds to the ream. Each sheet was halved and weighed, and each half was folded double when tested. One, offering CI square inch es, stood a strain of 100 pounds. The same-sized sheet, 16 pounds to the ream, stood a strain of over 300 pounds.

The average results of Crane paper, 14 pounds to the ream, with sizing, were a perpendicular strain of 3 1-3 pounds to the square inch. and a transverse strain of 4, pounds. Pretty nearly as toughas shoe leather. How to-Get Thin. When one has just begun to acquire superfluous flesh complete abstinence from sweets and starches, a moderate amount of food at all times, and daily exercise either indoors or out will effect a-cure.

The effort, however, must be persistent, and the watchfulness must continue even after the desired weight has been reached. Spasmodic efforts either at diet or exercise will be absolutely without lasting results. When one's weight has crept far be yond the normal amount the restraint in diet must be more; strenuous and the exercise more violent Harper's Weekly. Some Singular Wills. One of the most singular wills ever recorded was that of a British sailor, who requested his executors to give his wife a shilling to buy hazelnuts, as she had always preferred cracking them to mending his stockings.

More subtle however, was the sarcasm of a will proved in 1830, in which a wife was left $2,500, but was only to enjoy it after her death in order that "she may be burled as my A French merchant bequeathed a large fortune to a woman of his ac quaintance to show his gratitude fori her refusal to marry him 20 years be- Lall ii 0 LaLa Rogers awoke unusually early. Ho felt wretched. His head ached, his ears rang, the fiot and cold shivers took turns running up and down his back, and his feet were like ice. Many a man in a big city knows what it is to be ill In a fourth-story hall room of a boarding house, and that is just where Rogers was. He had occupied this same hallroom long enough to become acquainted' with all the boarders.

While he had been Intimate with none, he always had been willing to lend a helping hand to all. his board had been paid promptly, and he never had forgotten to tip the servants. Well, to go back to the pancakes, ho tossed about from 5 to 7, bemoaning his dismal state, and then fell into a troubled sleep that brought dreams of home, comfort and mother. His sleep was interrupted by the Inward consciousness that some one was looking at him, and he opened his eyes to find three of the men, boarders staring at him. "What's the matter?" they asked ia chorus.

"Sick. Cold," was Rogers reply. "Feel shivery?" they inquired. He nodded his head. "We'll fix you," and they disappeared to presently return and dose him with whisky and quinine, wrap his "Little Mary" in red flannel and put hot water bags to his feet.

"Lie there they said, and then left, leaving the door on a crack, so Rogers could call in case of need. Rogers' feet began to send up a genial warmth, which rapidly ascended until it reached the waist line, and there, mingling with the heat produced by the whisky, the two, hand in hand, traveled up his back until he was all aglow and became drowsy. Bang, went the door and in came the chambermaid. What, are ye not up yet?" was her greeting. "No, get out.

I am sick," was Rogers' wail. Peace reigned for an hour and his glow became a burning heat and his thirst was at a premium, but he was not to suffer, as just then old Maria came In. Poor soul, she sold tracts for a living and he had lent a week's board to her. She had hot mustard water for his feet and hot lemonade for his thirst. As he was dallying with these two cures his breakfast arrived.

Some little bird must have spread the news of his illness throughout the house. Whisky and hot lemonade are not a very sure foundation for liver, bacon, eggs arid the things that go with them, but Rogers had to make some pretense eating, as the waiter's solicitude as to Rogers' welfare was as large as the breakfast he had brought. Then Rogers thought he would follow directions and "lie there" and try to sleep. While he lay there he heard a heavy footstep approaching, which he recognized as that of the landlady. She had a hot onion poultice for his chest and some milk toast, as he had eaten no breakfast.

The landlady stayed and condoled while Rogers ate the milk toast, and then left with the promise that tho servants should be at his beck and call, which was unnecessary, as one of them appeared every 15 -minutes to attend to his wants. Did you ever lie ill abed in a small room with your "Little Mary" in open revolt at the treatment she had received and your olfactory nerves assailed by the fumes of hot onions? What to do with the onions he did not know, but when one of the servants brought in a bunch of violets, he was in despair, when the trained nursa entered the room to offer her assistance. She took the onions and violets out in the hall, where they had more space to quarrel over their individual scents, and then quickly washed his face and hands, brushed his hair, rolled him back and forth in the bed until she had remade it with clean sheet 1 and fresh pillow cases. Then the room was aired and tidied up. "Now, take this medicine," she said "and you will go to sleep," and he did He awoke at 5 in the afternoon feel ing like a different man, and as he sat up in bed and looked around the room he quickly perceived how sound ly ho had slept, as his bureau was decorated with a large dish of oranges, guarded by two bottles of whisky, Scotch and Irish.

On the window sill stood a red flowering plant, the wash-stand was covered with grapes, lemons and a jar of beef tea; and as he sat there with a gladsome smile, thinking about these kindly gifts and whe bad sont them, he heard voices outsid the door. It 'was the Frenchwoman whom hf-had taught the difference between a sitting man and a setting hen. She wanted to give him "one little pill, the grand cure for la grippe." and th chambermaid was telling her that he was not to be disturbed. "Giv it he yelled, and ho went to sleep a little later, holding the pill in his hand. He awoke at night.

The landlady brought a bit of broiled chicken, which he ate with a relish, and then some of the men boarders came in, each with Ms little gift or sympathetic word; md at ten o'clock Rogers said "good-nigitt! and went to sleep and slept like in carolled log until morning, when he awoke feeling like a lark.
