The chigger is a red, six-legged mite
so small that it can scarcely be seen

in August. It seems to be especially
common in wood land and on berry
bushes. It Is naturally vegetarian, and
when it causes pain to chickens and
children, it is not because it is search-
ing for blood. In fact, entomologists
tell us that the chiggers which burrow
into the skin, causing red welts, be-
cause of the poison which they ex-
crete, by so doing destroy themselves.
No very effective method of combat-
ing the pest has yet been devised.

FEARS OF COMRADES.
Question Put by Inquisitive Boarder,
Though, Seemed Rather to Imply a
Doubt as to the Veracity of
the Story He Told.
j "I just got back from a big-game
nunt yesterday," said the young sports
! man. "There were six of us in the
| party and we had a lot of tun."
"Did yo« bring back any trophies?"
asked a fellow boarder.
i "Well, no, but we had plenty of
sport. Two of us who had never killed
mountain lion and bear learned exact*
, ly how to do it from the four sports-
men on the train going up 'The way
; I do,' said one of the old hands, is to
shoot the bear under the fourth rib.
i and I always like to gel my mountain
lion with a bullet just over the left
eye.*
"'I don't,' said another big-game ex-
: pert. *1 shoot them in the neck.'
" 'I like hand-to-hand encounters,'
naid a third expert. Especially when
it comes to bear. Let Mr. Hear start
i hugging me and he gets my hunting
knife right in the heart!'
| "The first night after we got to
I camping one of the old hunters came
in and told how he had killed a bear
with his hunting knife after a desper-
ate struggle, but the bear had fallen
into a chasm where the hunter couldn't
get him.
"Another came in and said he had
killed the biggest mountain lion he
ever saw, but the lion had jumped
over a cliff.
"A third expert came in and said
that he had seen a bear carrying ofT
the other two members of the party
by the trousers. He said it was lucky
for me that I had stayed iu camp that
day
"While we were talking a big storm
broke. There was a flash of lighning
and a clap of thunder, it scared the
hero whose bear had ,*alle n into a
chasm and he eaid:
" 'Hoys, I told a lie. I haven't killed
a bear or even seen one!'
"Then there came a terrible clap of
thunder and the hunter who had
brought such sad tidings of our absent
friends said:
" 'I told a lie, too. No bear carried
off the other boys. They said it looked
like rain and so they went into town.'
' The next clap of thunder did away
with the other fellow's lion. When the
next flash of lightning came there
stood a bear about ten feet high, right
in the door of our tent!
"One of the hunters who had
achieved such triumphs at various
times jumped up and dived into the
milk can and closed the top down
tight after him. The others bolted un-
der the edge of the tent and escaped.
"What did you do?"
"Oh, I killed the bear," said the
sportsman. "As soon as I saw how
badly scared the other fellows were I
drew my hunting knife and killed the
bear. It was funny, though, how
frightened those other fellows were!"
"Aren't you afraid of thunder and
lightning?" asked the inquisitive
boarder.

they will burn quickly; if wool, more

"If cotton and wool have been spun

Nicholas Culpepper. Gentltman Stu-

esting and valuable remedy, "the skull

cacy was to be expected in palsy and

After many years of earnest eu-
deavor on the part of various govern

turers and others interested in the cot-
ton industry of Europe to widen the
cotton fields of the old world, the
United States continues to produce
from 60 to 85 per cent, of all the cot-
ton grown. This country. Egypt and
India account for about $5 per cent, of
the world's supply, and with Chlua
and Rusjia added, fully 9o per cent
The 4 or 5 per cent, grown under the
Russian flag is chiefly the product of
