"Thoreau lives on this creek," Bro-
kaw said. "How much farther is it?"
"Fifteen or sixteen miles," replied
Billy. "You'll last just about five,
Brokaw. I won't last that long unless
you take these things off and give me
the use of my arms."
"To knock out my brains when I
ain't looking," growled Brokaw. "I
guess—before long—you'll be willing
to tell where the Indian's shack is."
ROACHES HAVE GYPSY
NATURE.,,
That roaches have a gypsy nature.
is declared by R. L. Webster, ento-
mologist.
"In towns roaches may move from
house to house," said Mr. Webster.
"They have even been known to leave
one house in large numbers and mi-
grate to another. But whether • they
enter in bands or singly they are a
pest that is especially repulsive."
They are probably the most an-
noying of common insects, according
to Mr. Webster, .and some time in the
history :of nearly every „home they
make their appearanceand cause the
housewife no end of, trouble.
Damp localities, such as the neigh-
borhood of the kitchen sink, is their
favorite habitat. They are night
prowlers and usually remain hidden
duringthe daytime. Roaches may be
recognized by their brown or black

color and their size, which is usually

that their . sympathies were enlisted
in a cause exclusively their own and
they kept at work as diligently as if
they expected to get rich by it.
The boys' acre was sown to grain;
for the pigeons' rations and the boys
required little assistance in harvest -i
ing it. At the age of six months, the
pigeons began to pail: and the flock
kept increasing. •
Much more , important than the
money they make is the fact that they
are so well satisfied and so interested
with something to do on their own
home farm. They loved their home
but were anxious to do something for
themselves. It was not money they

"I can't do that," he said. "In ten "Probably the most effective method
years I ain't run out the white flag of controlling roaches is by the use of
once. It's something that ain't known sodium fluoride," Mr. Webster ex-
plained. "This is a white powder that
may be purchased at almost any drug
store. The powder should be dusted
in liberal quantities into all locations
in the house frequented by the insects,
especially in pantries and under
sinks. Sodium fluoride should never
come in contact with any foodstuffs,
however, since it is poisonous."
"On the market there are a number
of preparations for the control of
cockroaches. Many of these contain
borax or boric acid, which niay be
purchased as such from the druggist
and applied in the same manner as
the sodium fluoride previously men-
tioned."
Any treatment for cockroaches must
be continued for several weeks, if suc-
cess is to be attained. Persistence is
necessary, regardless of whatever
measure is used against these trouble-
some insects. Special care should be
taken never to allow bread crumbs or
other food of any description to re-
main exposed about the house, since
this encourages the insect.

A PRETTY FROCK FOR MANY
OCCASIONS.
About two years ago 1 was sur-
prised to . overhear my oldest son,
aged twelve, tell his younger brother
that as soon as he was old enough he
was going to the city. This set me
thinking. I talked to him and tried
to get his view on farm life. He soon
made me realize that he was a eery
ambitious child and that he did not
consider the farm a good place to
make money. I do not wonder at his
attitude for no pains had been taken
to encourage him in individual effort.
We are the owners of a hundred -acre
farm, yet neither of the children own-
ed a plot of land or an animal. They
had their regular work, allowance and
hours for recreation but they had no
hope of profit from any enterprise, ex-
clusively their own. "Why," I said
to myself, "should our boys be exclud-
ed
xcluded from share in enterprises which,
when they are grown, will probably
be their greatest impulse to success?"
I therefore made up my mind that
we well could afford our sons some
constructive opportunity that would
soon convince them that they could
make money at home. I talked the
subject over with xny husband and we
decided on pigeons. We had none on
the farm and we reasoned that some-
thing new would be more interesting
to the boys and we were right. When
we presented them with six pairs of
pigeons and an acre of land as their
very own, their joy was too great for
words.
They went to work the next morn-
ing making a pigeon house in an un-
used shed and we were surprised to
to extract the juicer Make a hard

Rhubarb Conserve is delicious.' It
requires three pounds of rhubarb cut
into pieces, three oranges, three
pounds of sugar, three-quarters of a
cupful of water, one pound of raisins,
one-half pound of shelled nuts (if de-
sired). Wash and slice the oranges,
including the rind, wash the raisins
and seed, then chop the nuts. Mix
the ingredients and boil slowly for
about three-quarters of an hour. Pour
hot into jars and seal at once.
BASHFUL JACK'S SLING.
Jack was unfortunate enough to
break his arm, and being at the bash-
ful age, refused to- stir out of the
house with his unsightly white band-
ages that shouted his injury loudly at
every one he met. Finally, Jack's
• mother thought of a remedy for his
trouble. She made a dark -colored
sling out of an old silk skirt
The edges of the yard -square sling
were neatly hemmed on the sewing
machine. The sling was then folded
into a triangle and was ready for use.
The forearm was placed in the centre
of the sling and the outer end of the
sling was carried over the arm and
at the back of the neck. The inner
side of the triangle was carried up
between the arm and the chest "and
to the back of the neck, where it met
the other end and was tied behind
Jack's collar, first being adjusted as
to length for it to be entirely eom-
le.

then folded around the elbow in such
a way that it gave support and kept
the elbow from sagging and was pin-
ned in place with safety pins. The
pins were black to be as unobtrusive
possible.
With his dark sling partly conceal
as
ed by his coat, Jack went forth into
the world again without fear of being
noticeable and strange, a thing a boy
never wishes to be.

Wyatt Tilby, the well-known authority
on vital statistics.
He tells us that the ordinary man
who reaches maturity attains to an
average age of sixty-two, but the aver-
age
verage age of five hundred more success-
ful men works out at about sixty,
seven and a half years; while in the
ease of two hundred and sixty-four
lives of very distinguished men the
figure was sixty-nine.
Statesmen, Popes, and Archbishops
have an average age of seventy-nine,
which compares- favorably with the
"life -line" of artists, musicians, and.
authors, who on the average reach
only sixty-four. The average length
of life of Speakers of the Hou
Commons is eighty years, and Lord
Chancellors seventy-nine,
Poets, on an average, have shorter
lives than prose writers, their length
of life being fifty-four years, while
scientists can boast of an average age
of seventy years. Test -tubes and
mathematics would thus seem to be
more favorable to longevity than the.
"fine frenzy" of the writer of verse.

Cheese -Cake is seasonable. To
make, add one egg to one cupful of
fresh cottage -cheese, beat until
smooth, then add one-half cupful of
sugar and a piece of butter the size
