Twentieth Century Laugh With Us— Not At Us— The Kick 'N Everything The Kitichi correspondent to The| Pioneer included one in her news| notes which we' deem might be ap-| propriate for this column. It follows:| “We have been handed a recipe for home-brew that is declared to exceed anything else that has been invented since John Barleycdtn met his near death. We take pleasure in sending in the following: i “‘Chase a bullfrog three miles and || gather up the hops; to the hops add ten gallons of tan bark,-one pint ofJ shellac, one bar of home-made soap, | ¥ boil 3G hours, then strain through an W.'s sock to keep it from work- | ing, then bottle and add one grass-| hopper, to each’ pint to give it the LW kick.” " —That Will Make the Moon Shine— Useless Questions Now that the big international is- sue is limitation of armaments, we offer the following questions which Edicon must have overlooked: When a man and woman who has the last word? i How many men does it take to op- erate a onc-man top? argue, What fruit do we get from anple| trees?—irom shoe-trees?—from hall- trees?

That’s the first that we knew that the school board was so badly afflicted with that habit.

NOTICE HAVE YOU PAID FINDS CURE FOR BLEEDERS Paris Physician Succeseful in Treating Disease With Use of Blood From the Horse. “Bleeders,” as they are called, gen- erally come of families with a history of bleeding, Such sufferers are rare- ly cured. But Dr. P. Emile-Weil of Paris reports in a bulletin of the Societe Medicale des Hopitaux the suc- cess he has had with his treatment of the disease, which is called hemophilia. He relates the case of a child of seven, a pronounced bleeder, belong- mg to one of the classic bleeder fami- lies that have been written up in medical annals since the Eighteenth century. He gave the boy an injec- tion of 20 cuble centimetres of normal horse serum—that is, horse’s blood with the corpuscles extracted—every second month until fifteen injections had been given, The tendency to hemorrhage seemed to he arrested, and after s vears there has been no sign of its recurrence. Previous to this Doctor Weil had treated seven cases of familiar hemo- successfully, but he never regarded a case as wholly cured until that of this boy. But the fact that he has been free from bleeding for seven years in- dicates at least that this disease is gurable. ¢ Similar. “What's hecome of Blithershy?” “He's gone where the wicked cease from: troubling and the weary aie at rest.” : “Dead?” “No, indeed model peniten Yoing time ‘in a philia with such injections, all of them “Harum-Scarum.” Harum-scarum js a perfectly good word used in connection with a person who Is exceedingly wild, reckless or thoughtless. The word probably origi- nated from a combination of the two English verbs, “hare,” to excite or worry, and “scare,” to frighten. Locke, in his “Essay on Education,” uses “hare” as a verb in this manner: “To ‘hare’ and rate them is not to teach but'to vex them.™ In this country, it is generally sup- posed that “harum-scarum” is an Americanization, = due probably to Washington Irving’s use of it in his “Alhambra,” where he wrote: “From a . walk, -the horse soon passed to a trot, from a trot to a gal- lop and frem a gallop to a harum- searum scamper.” NATURE'S WAY WITH PESTS. One Destructive Insect is Used to Fight Another; Each' Canable of Usetul Work. You recall the old nurs “This is the house that The story of Nature's warfare runs on very much the same liu This is the fox that ate the squirrel that stole the eggs of the magpie that killed the sparrow that devoured the fly that destroyed the caterpillar that spoilt the cabbage that'grew in the house that Jack built! Nature uses one pest to fight another, Each of the creatures mentioned is a pest; yet each’is ‘capable of useful work. Moths and butterflies lay hundreds of éggs at a time, so that if nothing have not a single green leaf in the But e, must have moths | dent with your car. preyed on caterpitlars we should soon | ¥ and" purferfliies £o fertilze flowers. The chief foe of the caterpillar is fhe ichneumon-fly, which lays eggs in him as he crawls on a leaf. These eggs hitch into grubs and kill the cater- pillar. b The ichneumon-fly is eaten by small birds which do useful work in this way, though in other ways they are pests, for they eat the farmer’s corn. They are kept in check by cuckoos, hawks, crows, and magpies. Theze birds of prey, if their growth was un- checked, would soon kill all the.game | | the same meghod more.than 150 years in the ‘country. ~Squirrels and other birds keep them down by stealing their eggs. Squirrels are preyed upon by foxes, which, as we have no wild beasts in this country, must, be kept in chack by man. For Windows.

Delicate Revenge. * “You. must have made a few ene- mies in your long political career?” “More than a few,” answered Sen- ator Sorghum. “I have forgiven them all” “That is magnanimous.” “Not especially. By forgiving them I call their attentlon to the.fact that they never succeeded in injuring me enough to earn my abiding resent- ment.” ; No Luck. Blackstone—Heard you had an acei- “Was it damaged much? i £ ‘Webster—No ‘such luck, The best T could get’ from the ‘insurance peopla was a new coat of paint. P - R i USED ANTS TO FIGHT PESTS Southern. Arabs Employed the Method 150 Years Ago in Culture of the Date Palm. ® Control of destructive insects by the ' introduction of their natural enemies has become an important technique during the last generation, writes Paul Popence in Science. But if competent observers are to be trusted, the soutbern Arabs employed ago in the culture of the date palm. In his “Relation d'un Voyage dans PYemen” (Paris, 1880, page 155), P. E. Botta : “I was able to verify the singular fact previously observed by Forskal, that the date palms in Yemen are at- tacked by a species of ant which would cause them to perish if each year the growers did not bring from the moun- | tains and fasten in the tops of the palms branches of a tree that I did not recognize, which contains the nests of ‘another species of ant which des- troys.that of the date palm.” P. Yorskal was the naturalist of C. Niebuhr’s expedition; his work was published’posthumously in 1775. I have not seen his account to which Botta refers. It: would be interesting to know whether the history of economic en- tomology furnishes any earlier record of the “blological method” of pest con- trol.
