Ulg Three RnjV State Convention of Sunday School. When Robert Rnikos started his ilrst Sunday school In 17S0 or there abouts, his friends and neighbors laughed nt him nnd dubbed him "Bobby Wild Goose," but his wild goose Idea had so much good in It thnt it would not bo down by sneers nnd Jeers, nnd to-day tho Sunday school idea girdles the globe. Tho modern Sunday school, with the Dible ns Its textbook, employs tho time nnd talent of the best scholars of the land. Among Its oflleers and -teachers nro fohnd tho first men nnd women in nil walks of life, nnd as tin Institution the Sun day school is recognized as one of the most potent factors In the mak ing of strong manhood and beauti ful womanhood. Pennsylvania is the largest Sun day school territory in the world; over 11,000 schools are located in the state, with a membership of 1, 841.855. Like all progressive agen cies, these schools aro federated in a statewide movement under tho name of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School association, with auxiliary associations in every one of the sixty-seven counties. Tho organization seeks to bring improvement in meth ods and equipment to the smallest school held in the country school house, as well as tho largest city school on the avenue. Representatives of these schools assemble annually in state conven tion for tho purpose of outlining its yenrly policy. The next convention will bo the Forty-sixth annual, and Is announced to meet in Altoona, October 12, 13 and 14. This annual gathering is tho largest as sembly of religious workers held within tho state. REMEDY FOR RED HUGS. To an inquirer who writes the de partment of health asking how to rid his house of bed bugs Prof. Sur face, economic zoologist, to whom this letter was referred, outlined the following procedure in his reply: "I received your letter addressed to tho state health department and forwarded to me for reply. I beg to say that the various means of get ting rid of bed bugs which you have tried, are among those which aro considered least efficient by those who have had real practical experi ence. These means are all right for destroying germs, but when It comes to crawling bugs, they aro not so satisfactory. There are two meth ods of destroying bed bugs. One is to apply thoroughly alco holic solution of bichloride of mer cury or, in other words, corrosive sublimate. This is not only ex tremely poisonous, but fatal to pests. It kills them whenever it touches them. It can be put Into an oil can and injected into the cracks and crevices, if Immediately after using it the can is emptied and washed well, rinsed with water, and then oiled or filed with oil to pre vent further action of the corrosive material. You can, of course, not keep It In a metal oil can for a very long time, because it will readily corrode tho metal and eat Its way through. It can bo kept In a bottle, and when you wish to use It trans fer it to a spring bottom oil can, and inject it where you wish. You need not bo afraid to uso this material freely, even though it is rank poison when taken Internally. Tho other means, which is certain to get rid of bed bugs, is to fumi gate thoroughly with hydrocyanic acid gas. This deadly gas is made by dropping potassium cyanide or so-called prusslc acid into sulfuric acid and water, in a tightly closed room, nnd leaving it instantly, so that tho operator will not breathe it In the least. It doea not Injure any fabric, metal, food or other mater ial, although It will kill living plants, animals nnd insects of nil kinds when used at the proper strength. While it Is safo to uso, it must bo used with considerablo care, and for this reason I have prepared an article entitled household fumi gation, which is published In one of tho monthly bulletins of tho division of zoology which Is sent freo to household pests. It Is rather expen sive, but It cleanses tho house com most absolutely certain method of getting rid of bed bugs nnd other household pests. It is rather ex pensive, but It cleanes tho house com pletely nnd Is satisfactory. I havo fumigated several housed, mills, warehouses, etc., in our experimen tal work, and know whereof I speak In saying that It is effective. What Ho Had.

Incidentally he ninny. bent the customer whn dealt with him. Tho way ho could slur over the tle fects nnd buzz about the virtues of an animal amounted to genius. Once Ilnnk was trying to sell n neighbor a horso thnt hnd an eye which was nearly sightless. Th neighbor know Hank would not He outright to him, so ho questioned the horso trader ns to tho various point? of tho brute. "How about his eyesight? Can he see out of both eyes?" ' "Sure," said Hank. "lie's got pool eyes." Here ho leaned forward, 1N eyes fairly scintillating with sup pressed honesty. "One oyo is particu larly goodl" Hank's enthuslnsm for the truth had carried him too far. Tho deal was off Tulsa (Okln.) Post. Hair Monstrosities. French theater managers In th" eighteenth century had worse evils than picture hats to contend ngninsl. Mnrie Antoinette, who was short, even according to French standnrds, set the fashion of high coiffures nnd ultra fashionable women prided themselves on measuring four feet from tholr chins to the tops of their heads. These structures took nbout six hours to erect, the hairdresser mounting n lad der In the process. Some coiffures were almost ns broad as they wero long, with wings slicking out nbout eight Inches on each side of the head. For the "frigate" coiffure tho hair wis rippled In n lingo pile to represent the waves of nn nngry sea and sur mounted by n fully rigged ship. As a cousequence of these monstrosities, disturbances In theaters occurred nl most dally until nn ordlnnnco was Is sued ngalnst the admission of women with high coiffures to tho floor of the house. Calling on Tennyson. A young American girl, who with her mother had called at Farrlngford to see the famous poet Tennyson, but was not received, shortly after ox pressed her regret to Mrs. Cameron, Tennyson's neighbor, who was also bis Intimate friend nnd n lady at once charming nnd masterful. "Oh, so ho wouldn't see you!" cried Mrs. Cameron indignantly. "Come with mo!" She took tho reluctant Amcrlcim straight back to Tennyson's house nnd. without knocking or ringing, went Into the room whore ho sat with his wife. "Alfred," said she as tho two looked up, startled, "these strangers enmo from a far country to see tho Hon of Freshwater, nnd behold a boar!" Tennyson burst out laughing nnd be came amiable nt once.

English is not only, as Richard .Tcf fetios assorted, the most expresslvo nnd flexible of tongues, but also. In Swinburne's opinion", the most musi cal, lie proclaimed the lines Music that Rontllcr on tho spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes to lie unmntched for melody In nny language. And few would venture to contradict such n master of music nnd tongues. Hut surely French ranks next on the roll of Inngunges. For clearness of diction It Is unrivaled, and, thanks to Its abundance of vow els (close on one for every consonant) It flowes rliythralcnlly from the tongue. Against Westley's dictum, that French Is to German as a bagpipe to an or gnn, may bo cited a saying of another famous divine. Dr. Dolllngcr. "L'Allc maud n'est pas une languc, mats ceux qui parlcnt ce Jnrgon so comprennent cntro eaux" (German Is not n lan guage, but tboso who speak this Jar gon understand ono another).

Tho scheme now on foot to hnve tho government take over the Mammoth cave property and make of it n gov ernment reservation is one that will be -of Interest to every ono who has seen the cave or known of Its won ders.
