The speakers are Mrs. Bate son and Mrs. llankey, worthy wives, but not altogether above feeling a cer tain pleasure in showing up the ways of husbands: "They've no sense, men haven't," I said Mrs. Hankey; "that's what's the | matter with them." "You never spoke a truer word, Mrs. Hanker," replied Mrs. Bateson. "The very best of them don't properly know the difference between their souls and their stomachs, and they fancy they are a-wrestllng with their doubts when really it is their dinners that are wres l tling with them. "Now, take Bateson hlsself," con -1 tlnued Mrs. Bateson. "A kinder hus -1 band or better Christian never drew breath, yet so sure as he touehes a bit of pork he begins to worry hlsself about the salvation of his soul till there's no living with him. And then he'll sit in the front parlor and engage In prayer for hours at a time till I says to him: " 'Bateson.' says I. 'l'd be ashamed togo troubling the Lord with a prayer when a pinch of carbonate of soda would set things straight again!'" Dyeing Real Flowers. "Every once in awhile some florist gets busy and puts some odd colored blossoms in bis window as an extra attraction to the display," said a club man. "1 just noticed one down the street. It consisted of a bunch of im possibly green carnations. At first glance a good many people thought they were made of paper, but they got interested when they found out that they were 'natural.' Now, anybody who wants to have any of these freak flowers can get them by buying some kind of aniline Ink, any color desired. Carnations are the easiest to color white ones, of course. Put their stems in a glass filled with ink. Their stems nre soft, and in a short while the larger veins in their petals are filled with the ink. Don't let them absorb too much color. They are prettier with Just so much. Then remove them and put them in a vase of salt water. Lilies of the valley lend them selves to this scheme also.

DID PIPE Borough Electrician Newton Smith hati entered upon the work if lighting Memorial Park, which is the only blanch of the work that remains to be completed before the handsome recre ation grouud is ready for the public Yesterday the work of laying the inch-aml-a-half galvanized iron pipe was begun that is to be used as a con duit for the electric light wire. The wire is carried into the park from Center street through Upper Mulberry street on two neat looking poles. At the Upper Mulberry street ec tranoe the wires enter the ground. No where in the park will the wires be visible. The metal poles—which are very ornamental—are lining manufact ured by the Danville Foundry & Ma chine company ami will be completed next week. The lights to be installed are ten iu number. They are kuowu as the "100 watt" lamp and will light the park up very nicely. The trench being dug for the gal vauiz.ed pipe is ten inches to a foot iu depth. Leading down from Upi or Mulberry street the trench passes arnuud outside the concrete w;»ik at the monument and l hence to the Bloom street eutrauce. This provide* for a light at each corner of the uiounmu t and one on each side of the Vvalii M the edge of the para at the Uijo . street entrance. The four lights re maining will be distributed about the park at points where light w ill be most needed. There Was Something Doing. In a barber's shop the other day 1 saw a man for whom I felt sorry—not that he needed my sympathy from the standpoint of charity, for he was a well to do man, having many business affairs, but I felt sorry for him cause of what he was doing. A bar ber was cutting his hair. He was hav ing his left baud manicured. In his right hand he held a newspaper. He was smoking a cigar, and a porter was shining USs shoes. There he sat read ing a newspaper. Three persons were busy waiting on him, doing their best to please him, and he was oblivious to the joy which his opportunity afforded him.—Fort Worth Star.

Lecturer In Boston Says Perfected Airship Will Make It Habitable. 11. Helm Clayton, formerly of the Blue 11111 observatory. In an address before the Boston Scientific society the other day predicted that the per fection of the flying machine would result in populating the arctic regions. In the early days of man, he said, tropical countries principally were In habited. lint as the population grew It became necessary togo to other lands where a colder climate was found and where greater needs developed man's Intellect. The progress In foresight and thrift which began lti those early days has been halted at the arctic, ho said, because there was no season of growth there. ! "I believe, however," he added, i "when the flying machine is perfected so that the necessary demand for clothing and food can be quickly sup plied. that the arctic region will be as 1 thickly settled as any other portion of the earth."

Instead of a long. straight, tight, tucKed net, I see a hopeless balloon affair; Here a medallion and there a rosette. Ending In frills of a hideous flare, Leaving my forearm shamelessly bare.

I BE RID OF 1M DESTRUCTIVE MOTH In his weekly letter to the press of Peuns.YL VMIJIU of May 11, Professor H. A. Surface, State economic zoo'ogist. says iu regard to that pest to all house keepers, the moth : i'luteshor Surface is daily in receipt of letters from ail over the State, which cover « wide rauge of subjects, from spraying for the destruction of San Jose scale and oyster shell bark louse to tiie ridding of oallars of rate aud mice. A case in point may be mentioned : A physician wrote to inquire "whether or not camphor is ttie best preventive of moths in cases contain ing ciotiiing." As this is season of the year when winter clothing is be ing put away until needed again, and housekeepers want to know how to keep the moths from destroying the same, the Professor's answer is apro pos. He replied »s follow*: PREVENT DAMAGE FROM MOTHS "As a preventive of moths in cases containing clothing, there is nothing like making the cases which they are packed so tight that the moth can not en.*, t t . ,ay her eggs,from which eggs the larvai come. I prefer naphthaline halls to camphor, but if the garments are wrapp»d in newspapers and put into a protected case and this sealed with strips of paper pasted over the cracks at every possible point of cn;iv, to keep out the moths, there will I L no dauger of the moths developing. Camphor or naphthaline balls can be used iu the packages also, but these alone will not prevent the occurrence of the moths, nor destroy the moth larvae after they have entered. The chief point in protecting fabrics from destruction by moths is to keep them in a vessel where the little winged moth can not enter to lay its eggs. An aid to this is tiie nse of some sub stauce like the bails above mentioned, which act as a repeliaut. After the olothing is attacked destroy the pests at once by fumigating with bisultid of carbon." The State zoologist of Pennylvania recommends one pound of this liquid to each 100 cubic feet of space, either sprinkled on cloth or poured into shal low vessels placed on it. Difficult Advice. Sirs.
