A New York clergyman, who often spends his vacation in fishing the streams of the Adirondacks. was on one trip adopted by a handsome setter dog, which insisted on following him from camp to camp, as he moved along the stream. One day he met a party of men working upstream with a native guide. The guide immediately recognized the dog as his own property. "Trying to steal my setter, are you?" he shouted at the clergyman. "I'll have you to Jail for this! There's a law in the woods Just as big as you have in the city!" The clergyman endeavored to explain that he was an unwilling com i anion of the dog, which had refused to be driven away, but to little effect until he added a S2-biU to his arguments. "It's queer what strange things happen to a man up here," he said to the stage-driver who later carried him away from the woods. "That is the first time I was ever accused of stealing a dog." "Yes, sir," replied the driver, sympathetically. and added, after a moment's pause: "For myself, sir, I have never been accused of stealing anything."?

"I am well within my rights If I shoot the cat am I not?" asked the sufferer. "I would hardly say that," replied the legal light, "The cat does not belong to you, as I understand It."

W. Church, who lives In one of the mill houses near the Union road. The deed was evidently done with a very sharp instrument, presumedly a razor, as the loose hairs were cut in two. The gash was two and a half feet long and hanged from the animal's side towards its shoulder. In one place the cow was cut almost to the hollow. Mr. Church has no idea who committed the crime but savs he is willing to pay any amount up to the full value*of the cow to secure the punishment of the person who committed the deed W. H.

It is reported that he was intoxicated at the time of the shooting and it can not be learned whether the shooting was accidental or whether he contemplated suicide. At last report his chances for recovery seemed good. Although the ball went entirely through his body, it did not pierce any vital organ. Mr. Rowan is a single man about 26 years of age Rev. J. A.

This Insect a Most Dangerous Enemy of the Human Race. Never was such an Indictment drawn against the mosquito as that presented by Dr. Edward A. Ayers, whose researches have attracted the attention of the entire scientific world, says the New York World. He began his work eight years ago and he has brought to the door of the pest the responsibility for two of the most destructive diseases to which human beings are susceptible?malaria and yellow fever. Doctor Ayers was only recently the recipient of a.high honor at the hands of the Academy of Medicine, which made him the Wesley M. Carpenter I?r.t (ho von r Of course, his theme was tlje mosquito. "Most of us are blind; yes, blind," said Doctor Ayers the other day in discussing: mosquitoes. "I have in mind when I say that the vaPt tracts of swamplands in New York, and particularly within striking distance of this city, and in New Jersey, which are absolutely abandoned to the mosquito, perhaps the greatest enemy of man. "The expenditure of a little money in draining, from $1.50 to $5 an acre, and all those lands would be transformed within a few months into blooming gardens. Disease would be given a blow that would put it on its knees. That small expenditure of money would mean something in the pocket besides. The swamp land in which the mosquito flourishes is rich. Experiments have been made on reclaimed land, and it has returned from $10 to $100 an acre. Yet we pass it by. And that's why I say most of us are blind. "Did you ever pause to think of the ruin and death to human nature the mosquito works? The mosquito is the breeder and carrier of our two greatest enemies?malaria and yellow fever. After eighteen years' research we have come to this: "The germ of yellow fever is only pathogenous for human beings when introduced by inoculation. The regular process by which inoculation Is accomplished, in nature, is through the bites of the mosquito, the insect having previously become contaminated through the act of biting a yellow fever patient within five days of attack. Although the bites of a recently con t?r inated mosquito can produce at most only a very mild attack of yellow fever, the bites of the same insect, wheh its contamination dated back for several days or weeks, might produce severe or fatal attacks. The yellow fever mosquitoes, after they have once become contaminated, retain the power of inoculating the disease through the rest of their lives. "In the forty-seven years preceding the Reed commission's discoveries, 35,952 residents of Havana died from yellow fever, a constant mortality of 10 per cent. Under the vigorous control of Colonel Gorgas in 1901 it was completely stamped out In ninety days. He went to work on the mosquitoes. "Now let me tell you about fllariasis. They.are worms which are In the blood of from 10 to 50 per cent of the peoples of the entire tropical and subtropical portions of the globe, representing the blood vigor of incomputable millions of human beings sapped for a useless worm that can have no other service in God's universe than to retard the development of man. , Mosquitoes put those worms in you. , "Wherever mosquitoes can exist there you will find man with malaria. That malaria is only at its best?or e^r.l/.u If urn tfllrO fhp WUI.1l?III 11IV* UU^IVn. AL ?*v M?nv ?- United States as a basis for estimating the world prevalence of malaria we start in with an annual death rate of 15,000 out of 375.000 affected. The total annual contribution of deaths from malaria at this rate is over 250,vOO, and the total of infected persons is , more than 6,000,000. During the last 100 years 100,000 of our people have died from yellow fever and some 500,000 have been infected. Picture for yourself the ligure of those hundred years! They ought to be a blank! , Don't you think a halt should be called on the mosquito and that public opinion should make the state drain the swamp land wherever one is to be found. "The United States is just awakening to the problem there is in all this. Its tropical possessions have brought the question fairly home. But England and Germany and France have been , working for a long time at it. There is a college in Liverpool, another'in Berlin, and a third in France where the mosquito is known and studied and his extermination thought out so that disease may be the quicker overcome. "Just to show you what Italy has done in a little while, let me tell you that last year it brought the death rate from malaria down from 15,000 to 4,000. How? By getting nfter the mosquito. By an Investment of $3,000,000 in building a draining canal along the river Po it aided largely in this. It understands what menace there is in the swamp lands. "New Jersey, thanks largely to State Kntomologist John B. Smith, has appropriated $350,000 to swamp treatment. and up to July last had dug between 7.000 and 10,000 feet of draining , ditches. There are about 200,000 acres ! of swamp in New Jersey and the ap, propriatlon promises to be sufficient, although politics threatens to tighten the purse-strings for next year. Long Island has about 50,000 acres of swamps bearing down the efforts of | her land boomers and communities , like Flushing, which is surrounded by 6.000 swamp acres. She will have to fight.

' Wizard Has Novel Ideaa of Future i Methods of Construction. 1 "The poor man need no longer live In a box for a house," said Thomas A. ' Edison today at his laboratory in Or- 1 ange, N. J.. "He can own a palace. ' "Before next summer I will build a ' three-story, indestructible concrete l house that a laboring man earning 1 $1.50 a day can buy and run. It will ' be as artistic and comfortable as any 1 Fifth avenue mansion and will be i built in half a day. Come up and see < It." ' Had anyone else made these state- i ments you would have said that he I was a cireamer. out wii?n r/u>?un ?au led you through the balconies of his i study, packed with charts, diagrams I and models of his successful lnven- < tlons, you began to believe him. Then < when he had reached the top floor of the building thrown open the door of I a spacious room fitted with a quartersize model of the house and pointed 1 out of the window to a huge concrete 1 building in the distance, where he was ! making machinery to build not only one, but thousands of houses like it, 1 you knew that he meant business. "There It Is," he said briefly though 1 with a bit of pride brightening his clear gray eyes. The model was a three-story Queen Anne house, with a high-peaked tiled roof and a bay front very suggestive of the houses on Riverside Drive. The eleven rooms were high studded and well lighted. The walls within and without were frescoed simply. "You hardly think we can put that up In half a day?" the Inventor questioned in his shrlil, high-pitched voice. "Well, we can, and for less than $1,000. too. This is how we'll do It: "Over in that factory you just looked at we are molding cast-iron forms. The inside facings of these forms are nickel-plated and are fashioned exactly like the outside of the model. When these are done we are ready to build any number of houses. "At 6 o'clock in the morning we take these movable steel castings to a vacant lot. These are clamped together with bolts and you have before you a house of iron, with hollow walls. Meantime, we are mixing our concrete ?one part cement, three parts sand, and three parts quarter-inch crushed stones. The machinery to raise this soft concrete to the top of this ?lron framework a big mold, you understand, Is already on the spot. "By 6 o'clock at night there Is your house inside* your iron work. Everything except the doors and windows Is In place. In six days the Iron frame is unbolted and removed. In another eight days the concrete Is completely hardened and the house ready to live In.

The tilings around the fireplaces and In the chimneya, the gas and water pipes are also stuck in the same way In the concrete walls. The furnaces, the heating pipes, the bathtubs and water closets are all cast with the walls. "Will the unions object because they can't plumb, carpenter, lay bricks and the like?" Edison was asked. "Well, they ought not to," he said. "They are going to live in these houses." "I've been working on this two years. That's the way it is with everything I do. The idea come3 easy enough?doesn't take 1 per cent of my time. But the details mean plug, plug, plug. And the worst part of it is that when you've done anything it's never perfect, and never will be. "Take my storage batteries. Three years ago I made a battery capable of doing 12,000 miles before new plates were needed. Now I have one that will last 50,000 miles. But that's a good ways from what the idea can do. It means, however, that the horse is dead. "The truck with my battery will take twice the load of the ordinary truck, will have twice the speed and will take up half the space. So it's eight times as useful as a horse and wagon. These batteries will make trucks so cheap that a Tenth avenue butcher can buy one. In fifteen years you won't see a horse in the business section of New York. "Airships?'' Edison laughed. "They have only made balloons so far. I guess I'm too commercial to bother with them. Nothing higher than the snowline of the Himalayas for me." "He reached into his pocket and, pulling out a plug of tobacco, took a good-sized chew. "Learned the trick when I was a telegraph operator," he apologized. "It's my only stimulant. I don't need anything else. No man does who takes care of himself." "The minute my weight gets above normal. 176 pounds, I eat a little less. If it falls below I eat a little more? rarely more than four ounces a meal. That's a fifth of what the ordinary man eats. "M man uloon f aa munli f aa T never sleep more than five or six hours. What's the use of sleeping more? It's all dreams after that. "My wife used to doze eight hours, three of them dreams. She wouldn't try my method. She said her constitution was different from mine. Finally I got her to try five hours a night. Now she feels better than ever. "The public won't believe it. But ask any of the 100 men I had at Menlo Park, where we built the first electric cars, what four hours' sleep a day did for them. Why, sir, they kept as fat and pink as new-born pigs."?New York Globe. Jt-w The most elevated river In the world is the Desaguadero, In Bolivia.

SATAN AND FLOWERS. to T< Jiabolic Action of Certain Plants In ar Mythology. fa The traditional association of the ht lersonifled power of evil and a garden th n, of course, familiar to all, and the it; cindred or evolved traditions form one "t >f the most fascinating studies of th :< mparatlve mythology. But It can st icarcely be. contended that It Is In any as vay due to this association that we w Ind Ills Satanic majesty figuring so m 'requently In the folk nomenclature of cj lowers and shrubs. But such cases w ire by no means common; but far, the bl greater number of diabolic appellations _ -efer to some Dhvslcal Decullarlty In ir the plant which Is either attributed to ^ M. le Dlable, or suggests Its employ- ja ment by or effect on that potentate. Q< And when we come to consider the aJ names In question we realize, says the tt London Globe, that It Is by no means the Mlltonlc devil that is referred to, t)ut rather the malevolent and sometimes rather contemptible buffoon of q the old miracle plays. And what is still more remarkable in some cases we find plants the subjects, so to speak, of w x joint or disputed ownership, one Ja ilalmant to which Is the devil, while the other Is often a canonized saint named In the Christian calendar. It Q Is not easy for us of the present age to conceive the mental phase which (r names, for example, a hand-shaped flower after a saint or devil indlffer- ^ ently, as Is the case with one of the ^ nrchld family, which by some is styled "Mary's hand" and by others "Satan's hand." There does not seem the same Cj violence of absurdity in the custom of associating flowers or plants with elves or fairies as their originators or employers. s' It would be Impossible within rea3onable limits to give all the Instances w cf the devil among the flowers, but ^ enough may be cited to show that, as P has been said, It Is the grotesque, me-. rticLPVAl devil rather than the awesome 1 flend of theology or poetry. The fa- a miliar scabious, owing to the shape of T Its root, suggestive of a mouthful hav- w Ing been taken out of It. Is called the w devil's bite. Explanations are by no k me^ns wanting. The "bite" was taken a In Jealous rage, because the root In w question was thought to be of great w medicinal value, and the arch enemy naturally begrudged mankind every h fraction of It. One of Its therapeutic ? uses Is as a soporific, and the atmos- n phere of his abode rendering such "an |j agent quite unnecessary the devil bit ? off a piece In a dog-ln-the-manger spirit. Another tradition has It that n with this root the evil one was wont to r, perform all sorts of marvels till our a lady deprived It of the power, where- jj upon In impotent rage he hit it. e Some of the devil titles doubtless date y from the time when, as Shakespeare v tells us, to many plants with a decor- c ous appellation, "liberal shepherds give a grosser name," and these can be found in plenty In old-fashioned her- a bals. ' t Some plants owe their diabolic prefix to the same moral Idea that has been noticed in the case of the "devil's apples" of the mandrake. The berries of the brlony, for Instance, are the devil's cherries, and those of the dead- V ly nightshade devil's berries par excellence. But It is not quite easy to understand why the pretty campion should be the devil's flower, nor the ox-eyed daisy his daisy; still more, n puzzling Is it to account tor the garlic 8 being his "posy," when we call to ^ mind the universal attribute to the garlic of hostility to the powers of ^ evil?especially when manifested in 8 the vampire form. But this apparent v contradiction is noticeable also in the case of the mystic vervain, which, according to some, is eminently antive- v netlc, but which old Gerarde tell us "the 11 devil did reveal as a secret and divine 8 medicine." This association of the vervain with diabolic action reminds us that that there ara numerous plants with which, "though it be not written e down" in their names, the devil Is con- j| nected. The devil is said to exercise ^ the strictest guardianship over the magical fernseed (which gives the power of being Invisible), and the only S time it can be obtained from his cus- j tody is on St. John's eve.
