THE DICIOAI) OF PREMATURE
BURIAL.
Gustav Mahler, who died the oth
er day, Is said to havo requested that
Ids heart be pierced 'with a needle
in order to assure tho fact of death
beyond tho possibility of a doubt.
The public only hears of such a re
quest when it Is made by some
person of prominence, and if tho
truth could be ascertained it would
probably lie found that tho dread of
a premature burial Is widely pre
valent. It may bo an unreasonable
dread, but It unquestionably exists
to a very considerable extent, nor
Is it confined to Ignorant or sensi
tive or foolishly imaginative per
sons. Harriet Martlneau, tho fam
ous writer and philosopher was a
particularly clear-headed and
strong-minded person whom no ono
would accuse of being fanciful, and
yet she loft instructions by will that
her body be decapitated before in
terment and she bequeathed fifty
dollars to the doctor who should
perform the gruesome operation.
Another well-known woman who
was similarly obsessed was Lady
Burton, wife and widow of tho dis
tinguished Orientalist and explorer.
She so greatly feared the possibility
of a prematuro burial that she on
Joined the piercing ot her heart be
fore her death was so much as cer
tified and ordered that her body be
subsequently subjected to a post
mortem examination. Still another
who took a like precaution was Ed
mund Yates, author of various nov
els which had a great sale forty
years or so ago, even though they
are now forgotten. Yates ordered
by will tnat his jugular vein be
severed and ho covered the cost of
the operation by a bequest of $100.
'these are a tew illustrations of
tnis distressing apprehension which
have come to the general knowledge
and it is likely that any doctor
whoso practice has been extended
could out of his own experience add
many others to the list.
People dread being burled alive
because no Imagination can con
ceive a more awful fate and be
cause every once in a while It is
reported that, some coffin having
been opened, the disposition of the
oody within it exhibited indications
ot a struggle. The feeling is that
as such an examination is exceed
ingly rare there is no telling how
frequently tho same thing may have
happened in the millions of cases
wnich have been unobserved. Of
course, the chance of a premature
burial is so remote as not to bo
worth taking into account. To the
expert eye the signs of death are
uoth unmistakable and infallible,
and even where there have been In
dications of movement succeeding
inhumation it does not follow that
there was a conscious struggle.
Yet the npprehenslon is one which
reason is powerless to remove and
no argument will so effectually re
lieve those whom it affects as the
taking of some appropriate precau
tion. Philadelphia Inquirer.
Get Rid Of Flies and Mosquitoes.
A Philadelphia correspondent re
cently wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, as follows:
"Will you kindly send me inform
ation regarding the prevention of
Hies and mosquitoes. I have a
stable in the rear of my property,
back of which there is a manure pile.
I think the Hies breed here, and have
been told that If I mix lime with it
the dies will be killed. The
mosquitoes breed, I think, in sever
al ponds that are near the house.
Any Information furnished by you
will bo greatly appreciated."
The Professor's reply was as fol
lows: "The habits of flies and mosqui
toes are quite different, and I must
discuss each separately.
"Of course, you know there are
many different species of Hies, and
the breeding habits of each differ
considerably. However, I presume
you refer to the one commonly
known as the House fly or Typhoid
fly. This pest passes the winter gen
erally as a mature or adult Insect in
some place of concealment or pro
tection, or even as a pupa or chry
salis in or near the place where it
fed as a larva.
"In the early part of the summer
It commences to lay its eggs, chiefly
In manure, either In stables them
selves, or around the manure piles.
Any kind of filth or decaying organic
matter may serve as a place for the
laying of the eggs, and also for tho
development of the young. Within
a few days after laying, they hatch,
and the young larvae or maggots
come forth to live upon the organic
matter they can find. They develop
into white worms, which in a short
time transform into brown pupae
or chysallds, and in a few days these
split open and the winged fly comes
forth.
"The best means of suppressing
the fly nuisance is to be clean up the
breeding places absolutely. This de
mands unusual care. As an aid to
this, nothing is better than the lime
sulfur solution, made by boiling lime
and sulfur together, and diluting it
just the same as is directed in our
bulletins and circulars from time to
time for spraying for the San Jose
scale. In other words, boil one
pound of lime with two pounds of
sulfur in one gallon of water for one
hour. This is a strong solution that
can be kept. It can also be pur
chased as a commercial lime-sulfur
solution, sold by most seedsmen and
many hardware dealers. Dilute one
gallon of this with seven or eight
gallons of water, and sprinkle It or
spray it abundantly around the prem
ises. It is not only a contact in
secticide, but it is also a good germ
icide. It is the best treatment that,
can be given for the interior of
poultry houses, cow stables, horse
stables, pig pens, ets. However,
muddy or soft ground should not be
soaked with it, and then oblige tho
animals to wade through it to any
great extent, as it will gradually in
jure their feet, If they must stand
or walk in It for any great length of
time.
"If tho stable Is cleaned out thor
oughly and swept once each week, it
will be sufficient to provide against
the breeding of the house fly or ty
phoid fly at that particular place.
"Mosquitoes breed in water, as
you suggest. It is remarkable what
a small quantity of water may be suf
ficient to cause enough of these
pests to be very annoying to several
families. Sometimes an old tin can
or a water bucket or a post hole left
stand with water In It, will be suffi
cient to give the breeding place to
hundreds or thousands of these pests.
A thin film of oil on top of tho water
will immediately destroy them.
"Ono should look around tho
premises and see if there aro any
old vessels containing water, and if
so, either empty them, or put a fow
spoonfuls of oil on them. Drains.
sinks and cisterns should be kept
covered with netting, and thus be
mosquito-proof. Oil on water would
not injure It, although stock would
not come to it to drink the water
wmie the oil was on It. If ono
should, for example, have a watering
tub In which mosquitoes are breed
ing, it Is best to pour In a few
spoonfuls of oil, and let this snread.
and kill the pests, which it will do
within much less than one hour. Then
with some vessel like a bucket ho
can skim off the oil and throw It
away. '
We can scarcely hope to extermin
ate the House fly, but if we reduce
its numbers and suppress it, we will
be doing a good thing for ourselves

"THE ONLY REAL NEUTRAL IN
THIS GAME OF LIKE IS A DEAD
ONE."
True, Terese, I'm well turned ilfty.
And what I told you five years ago
still holds good; I have never had
a sick day In my life and never took
a dose of medicine. 1 have ridden
horse3 all my life and have never
been thrown but of course I do
not let the other fellow pick my
mounts. Also, chee-lld, look you,
I haven't an enemy in the world that
I recognize as such. My enemies aro
simply good people who do not un
derstand me. This is this misfor
tune. If they injure me in some ways,
they more than make up for it in
advertising, so 1 am the gainer by
their gall.
I've traveled on railroad-trains for
forty years in this country and in
Europe and I've never been robbed
nor mistreated. I never had a
chewing-match with a railroad man
nor a hotel employee. While the
other fellow is howling and calling
bad names he didn't get any pie, the
waiter brings me two nice quarter
sections that I didn't even suggest,
save in a telegraphic way.
I always get mine and a little
more. Kindness and love have been
my portion. 1 never had a banker or
anybody else refuse me a loan of
money or anything.
Once on an early train near Wich
ita, Kansas, I made a reach for my
pocketbook when the conductor en
tered and yelled, "Tickets, every
body!" I reached for my faithful
walletoskl, I repeat, and it wasn't
there. I had left it under my pil
low at the hotel. In desperation I
looked around to see If 1 knew any
one in that car.
Alas! Not a soul was there I had
ever seen before. Opposite me was
a freckled party with a derby cock
ed over his eye at a vicious angle.
In his buttonhole modestly gleamed
tho little gold antlers of the Elks.
Without a second thought I reached
over and said, "Hey, you, Bill, loan
me five dollars."
He glanced at me lazily, and
reaching in his trousers brought up
a big, greenish roll. He skimmed
off a five, and as he handed it to
me he said, "Yes, brother, sure; and
if there Is any change, get your hair
cut." And the pocketbook? Yes,
the freckled little Elk told the con
ductor, who was also an antlered
buck, to telegraph back and get that
leather. That evening a smoky,
smudgy, greasy, locomotive fireman
walked into the hotel and gave me
my pocketbook. Not a card or a
postage-stamp was missing, and the
one hundred sixty-five dollars in
good bills was there Just as I had
left it. I offered the fireman a V.
He smiled and refused to touch it.
All he wanted was a' copy of The
Philistine with my name written to
it.
"You have done so much for the
railroad boys they all shout for
you," said the greasy one.
Of course I haven't done anything
for them. But I would like to.
I love the boys the section men,
the track-walkers, flagmen, engin
eers the folks who toil and carry
burdens, aud who ask for so little
in return. God bless them all!
The very first item in tho creed
of commonsense is Obedience. Per
form your work with a whole heart
Revolt may lie sometimes neces
sary, but the man who tries to mix"!
revolt and obedience is doomed to
disappoint himself and everybody
with whom he has dealings.
To flavor work with protest Is to
fall in the protest and fail In the
work. When you revolt, why re
volt climb, hike, get out, defy
tell everybody and everything to go
to hades! That disposes of the case.
You thus separate yourself entirely
from those you have served no oue
misunderstands you you have de
clared yourself.
The man who quits in disgust
when ordered to perform a task
which he considers menial or unjust
may bo a pretty good fellow; but
the malcontent who takes your order
with a smile, and then secretly dis
obeys, is a dangerous proposition.
To pretend to obey, and yet carry
In your heart the spirit of revolt, Is
to do half-hearted, slipshod work.
If revolt and obedience aro equal in
power, your engine will then stop
on the center and you benefit no one,
not even yourself.
The spirit of obedience Is the con
trolling impulse that dominates the
receptive mind and the hospitable
heart. There are boats that mind
tho helm and there are boats that do
not. Those that do not, get holes
knocked in them sooner or later. To
keep olf the rocks, obey tho rudder.
Obedience Is not to slavishly obey
this man or that, but It is that
cheerful mental state which responds
to the necessity of the case, and
does the thing without any back
talk uttered or expressed. Obedi
ence to tho Institution loyalty! The
man who has not learned to obey
as trouble ahead of him every step
of tho way. The world lias it In for
him continually, becauso ho has it
in for the world.
Tho man who does not know how
to receive orders is not fit to issue
them to others. But the individual
who knows how to execute the or
ders given him Is preparing the way
to issue orders, and better still to
havo them obeyed. Thero Is known
to me a prominent business house
that by the very force of Its direct
ncss and worth has managed to In
cur tho enmity of many rivals. In
fact, there is a very general conspir
acy on hand to put tho institution
down and out.
In talking with a young man em
ployed by this house, he yawned and
said, "Oh, In this quarrel I am neu
tral." "But you get your bread and
butter from this firm, and In a mat
ter where the very life of the Institu
tion Is concerned, I do not see how
you can be neutral."
And he changed tho subject. I
think that If I enlisted in the Japan
ese army I would not be a neutral.
Business is n Struggle.
Business Is a fight a continual
struggle Just, as life is. Man has
reached his present degree of de
velopment through struggle.
Struggle there must be and al
ways will be. Tho struggle began as
purely physical. As man evolved
It shifted ground to the mental, the
psychic, and the spiritual, with a
lew dashes of caveman proclivities
still left. But depend upon it, the
struggle will always be life is
activity. Aud when It gets to bo a
struggle in well-doing, it will still
bo a struggle When inertia gets
the better of you, It Is time to tele
phone the undertaker. The only
real neutral In this game of lifo is
a dead one.
Eternal vigilance Is not only the
price of liberty, but of every other
good thing. A business that is not
safeguarded on every side by active,
alert, attentive, vigilant men is
gone. As oxygen is the disintegrat
ing principle of life, working night
and day to dissolve, separate, pull
apart and dissipate, so there is
something in business that continu
ally tends to scatter, destroy and
shift possession from this man to
that. A million mice nibble otor
nally at every business venture. The
mice are not neutrals, and if enough
employees in a business house are
neutrals, the whole concern will
eventually come tumbling about
their ears. I like that order of
Field-Marshal Oyama: "Give every
honorable neutral that you find in
our lines the honorable jiu-jitsu
hikerino." Elbert Hubbard in The
Philistine.
THE 'TUSSOCK MOTH.
To a correspondent from Ohio,
who asked for delinlte directions for
destroying the Tussock moth, which
badly infested his trees last year,
Professor II. A. Surface, State Zoo
logist of Pennsylvania, said:
"The Tussock moth, which is so
injurious to shade trees, especially
along streets, can be held In check
by spraying with arsenate of lead,
using about three pounds in fifty
gallons of water, which is practical
ly in the proportion of one ounce In
each gallon.
"Spray thoroughly, with any kind
of an apparatus that will throw the
liquid over the leaves as a spray,
but be sure and do this while the
moths or larvae are yet yoUng.
At tho present time the Tussock
moth is in the egg stage, in tho
white egg masses seen on the trunks
or branches of trees. The larvae
crawled to such spot, and there shed
its hairs, and spun its loose cocoon,
making this of a few silken threads
combined with spiny hairs.
"Later the female moth came
from the cocoon as a wingless creat
ure, the males flying and mating.
The eggs were then deposited upon
the old cocoons, and covered with a
kind of white froth, which hardened
over them, and protected them, as
we now find them. Along in May
the little larvae or worms will conio
from these eggs,- and commence feed
ing on the foliage.
"The best thing to do Is to gather
these egg masses by hand now.
Where this cannot be done, it is
possible to reach them with a sponge
on the end of a pole, dipping the
sponge into kerosene, and being
sure that each of the egg masses is
well touched with tho oil. In order
to color it so that you can see which
have been treated as you go around
the trees, It is a good plan to use
lamp black in the kerosene oil.
"If for any reason all of the egg
masses are not removed or treated,
and tho young should commence to
feed on the foliage, it is Important
io spray uiem with an arsenical poi
son, just as soon as possible, because
tho younger they are the easier they

'HIE WAITER AND TIIE CELERY.
The following story is told in tho
Saturday Evening Post about Rhine
lander Waldo who has just been ap
pointed to the Police Commlssion
ershlp of New York:
One of tho lobster palaces on
Broadway had bought an oversupply
of celery and the waiters were given
instructions to rush celery on every
customer who would stand for It.
Fire Commissioner Waldo came In
with a friend. Tho waiter asked
him what ho would have.
"Some oysters," said Waldo.
"And some celery?" suggested the
waiter.
"No, not a sprig. I don't want any
celery. I want some chicken gum
bo soup, strained."
"With celery, of course," put In
tho waiter.
"No; I tell you I don't want any
celery. And some shad."
"With celery?" said the waiter.
"No celery and a bit of the
roast."
"Some celery would go fine with
that," said the waiter.
"Forget tho celery! Now, what
shall we have In the wny of a salad?"
Some celery salad," suggested tho
waiter.
"Get out!" shouted Waldo, "and
bring those oysters. If you put any
celery in I'll make you eat It."
The waiter brought tho oysters and
again suggested celery, but was re
'buffed so earnestly ho stood around
and cursed under his breath.
After he had brought the coffee,
Waldo saw the manager of the place.
"Tom," he said, "come here a min
ute." "What is it, .Mr. Waldo?" asked
the manager.
"Tom, haven't I been a good cus
tomer of this place?"
"None better, sir."
"Then, why is it I can't get what I
want?"
"What is it you want, Mr. Waldo?"
"Why, ever since I sat down I have
been trying to get a little celery, but
all to no avail. What's the matter
with this restaurant? Haven't you
got any celery? If not why don't you
send out and get some?"
During this recital the face of the
manager changed from red to purple
of that rare old apoplectic tinge.
"Here, you!" he shouted to the
waiter. "Why didn't you get Mr.
Waldo some celery? What d'ye
mean by that sort of thing? Get

in' crazy. No, I ain't; I'm gone al
ready. Celery! elery! Who wants
the celery waiter?" And he vanish
