/MOTH HUNTING BY NIGHT. , BOSTON MAN AND CAPSULES.
rb« Sport 1* Often Eidtlne and Re-
quires Store Than a Kittle

Hot Staff.
The glorious Wicken sedge fen in
Cambridgeshire, the only bit of “wild
fen left in England, has for ages past
been the happy hunting ground of the
entomologist, and it is now the only
place where some of the rarest insects
find an English home, says rearson’s
Magazine.
Night work among the moths re-
quires a certain amount of courage in
the man who undertakes it alone, for
though when sport is brisk the excite-
ment tends to keep up one’s spirits,
yet when no moths arc flying the en-
tomologist, standing out in the dark-
ness of the wide fen, is apt to feel the
loneliness of so vast and weird a space.
A successful night's work entails a
good deal of trouble. Toward sunset
the moth catcher will start for the
fen wheeling a barrow heavily laden
with such articles as he may require.
These include a stout wooden box, in-
side which is carried a big lamp, meas-
uring about 18 inches high, 12 inches
wide and 10 inches deep; a “killing”
bottle of cyanide and a number of pill
boxes of various sizes; three 6-foot
poles, a white sheet some 10 feet long
\by 5 wide; a pot. of molasses (called
/‘sugar” by the motli catcher), a lan-
tern, a moth trap and the indispensa-
ble net.
He makes his way somewhat labori-
ously over the marshy ground, along
narrow paths, which lie picks out as
though they had been clearly defined,
though to the stranger there would
appear to he nothing to distinguish
them from the marshy soil on eitliei
side. After a walk of about 15 min-
utes he arrives at a nice open space,
where the sedge has been cut.
Quickly fixing in the ground two of
the long poles, the moth hunter
stretches out the big white sheet be-
tween them. Ten feet or so away he
fixes his lamp on the third pole, so
that the light will fall full on the
sheet. Conveniently near he arranges
a number of the pill boxes, the lantern
and the “killing” bottle, and hangs the
moth trap on an adjacent tree to take
its share of the night’s spoil. This
inoth trap, though regarded as of sec-
ondary importance, is a very ingenious
contrivance, so designed that when the
moths, attracted by a light inside, once
/ enter they cannot, escape.
After the trap has been “set” a third
snare for the moths is prepared, the
sinewy young branches of the low, sal-
low shrubs which grow profusely here-
abouts being twisted and tied together
In knotty bunches, which are liberally
smeared with treacle, with a dash ot
rum in it. This “sugar” is certainly
not very appetizing in appearance,
especially as a potful is made to last
a considerable time, but it is quite
good enough for the moths. When it
is sufficiently dark for the moths to
fly, the big lamp is lit, and its strong
light is thrown upon the sheet, so that
it is easy to see the smallest moth
that may cotne within range.
The moth catcher takes his stand,
net, in hand, slightly behind the lamp,
and in this position he is ready to rush
forward and take any moth which may
settle on the sheet or fly into the light-
ed space. Should it he a hot, dry night,
with heavy clouds banked over the
set sun, as often happens, particularly
In July, the moth catcher will have a
very warm time of it. The perspira-
tion will soon be streaming down his
back, his pipe will grow hot between
his teeth, and it will only be kept there
to repel the attacks of the flies and
gnats 'which wTill soon be singing and
buzzing in his eyes and ears.
On most nights the fun is all over
by 12 o’clock, but on a good night it
will last until one or two o’clock, and
In the early, part of July the moth
oatcher will sometimes wait for the
sun, and then stalk about to catch a
beautiful little geometer called Hyria
nurorarla, which is itself the color of
the rising sun, and only flies from
three to eight a. m.

He told the other patients at the
/anitarium that he was from Boston,
ind said it much as he might have said:
‘1 am president of the United States. ’
But his fellows of unsound bodies did
aot show the least readiness to fall
iown on worshipful knees. Even had
se been one of the' elect of Boston,
thoroughly starched hud ironed as to
nis mind, it is doubtful if they would
have made genuflections, for Boston
Is the better part of 4,000 miles from
louthern California, and its awe-in-
spiring radiance is n weakly splutter-
ing candle-light by the time it has
trussed the continent. And he was
jot one of the elect, says Leroy M.
Scott, in Woman’s Home Companion.
“From Boston!” cried a rheumatic
young civil engineer, also from that
eit-y. “Looks more like a man from
Posey county, Ind., or,” he corrected
himself, “like a product of the tropical
tone—the land of eternal green.”
Terhaps the young civil engineer
spoke sarcastically, for at times his
rheumatism played on his nerves as
though they were banjo-strings; but
be spoke very near the truth. Despite
his proud origin and an unlimited
amount of money “green" fitted the
self-proclaimed Bostonian as if it
were a word tailored for him express-
ly. His trousers were so bagged at, the
knee that they looked knobby; his
shoes were of that once common sort
known as “Congress;” his face was a
lurid sunset-red; and if that little
book on etiquette, called “Don’t,” had
been destroyed to the last copy it
could easily have been reconstructed
from observation of his manners. Yet
he said he was from Boston; and as a
further proclamation of this fact he
always carried with him a volume of
Emerson’s essays—a book which no
one ever saw him read.
One day he sent word to the medical
director of the sanitarium that he was
feeling decidedly out of sorts. The
medical director came, looked him
over, asked a few questions, and went
rway. A- few- minutes later a nurse
brought to the Boston man’s room a
small box of capsules that contained a
white powder. In accordance with
the time directions on the box, half an
hour later he proceeded to take two
of the capsules, and to take them after
his own fashion, for this was his first
experience with them. He carefully
emptied the contents of the two into a
spoon, added a little water, and Then
emptied the spoon into his month.
Immediately he fell upon his bed,
and writhed and coughed and called
aloud. A nurse attending a patient in
an adjoining room hurried in in re-
sponse to his cries.
“Water!” he gasped.
The nurse hastily poured him a
glassful of water, winch he gulped
down. Then she called the physician.
When that gentleman rushed in, tlje
man from Boston indignantly de-
manded:
“See here”—a fit of coughing—
“what did you give me that infernally
hot stuff for?”
The doctor’s quick eyes lit upon the
empty capsules, and lie instantly
knew the cause of the trouble.
"You fool!" he cried, in exaspera-
tion. The doctor specified the exact
variety of fool, but there is no use
writing down his word, for the editor
would cross it out. “You fool! Of
course it’s hot! That’s why' I put it
up in capsules! What did you take it
out for?”
A knowing look came, over the face
of the man from Boston. “Say, now,”
he demanded, sarcastically’, “you don’t
suppose I wanted that ising-glass
down in my stomach, do you?”

Not long ago the wife of a western Kan
gas politician asked him to lay aside politic*
,ong enough one day to dig the potatoes it
tiie garden, lie agreed to do it. Attei
digging for a few nuuutes he went into tin
house and said he had found a coin, lb
washed it off and it proved to be a silvei
quarter. He put it in his jeans and went
bade to work. Presently he went to tin
house again and said lie had found anotkci
coin. He washed the dirt off it. It was a
silver half dollar. He put it in bis jeans.
“1 have worked prettv hard.’’ said iie to
his wife. "1 guess I’ll take a short nap."
When lie awoke he found that his wilt-

she found no coins. It then dawned upon
her that she had been “worked."—Kansas

HAD BEEN ON THE CHAIN GANG
And He Admitted He Wai a Little
Bit Toachy on the
Subject.

Cooking by the heat of the sun is a
novel idea, but. suggests economy, and
Ir certainly practicable if there is no
exaggeration in the claims made by a
Ban Francisco inventor in behalf of a
newly patented contrivance, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
The apparatus consists of a sort of
oven made in the shape of a rectangu-
lar box, open on one of its four sides
(through glass) to the direct rays of
the sun, and similarly exposed on an-
other side to solar rays reflected from
a series of prismlike mirrors. Inas-
much as the box and mirrors are ad-
justable at various angles, the rays of
the sun may be concentrated upon the
Inside of the oven at any hour of the
day.
The oven is set upon one edge.
I Whereas the upper two sides are of
glass, the lower two sides are of wood,
and the whole box, save for the two
glass sides, is double-walled and lined
with felt and sawdust. Thus, glass be-
ing also a nonconductor, the heat that
enters the box does not easily get out
’■> .gain. In fact, if there were water in-
side it is claimed that it would quickly
boil on a sunshiny day.
The internal arrangement of fhe
oven consists of three shelves which
remain horizontal, no matter at what
aagle the box is placed. On these
shelves baking is done. Along the top
edge of the box extends a flat piece of
metal, hollow inside, into which hot
air is admitted from the oven beneath.
This is a broiler, and the inventor says
that one may eook a steak on it nicely.
One advantage of the solar method
of cooking is that it is clean. No fuel
has to be supplied, and there are no
ashes to remove. It is a process that
recommends itself most strongly,
therefore, to the neat and thrifty
housewife.

Ostensible Head of the Family—Ma-
ris, there was a canvasser here to-day
who wanted to sell me a work on eti-

It oan’t be taught in six lessons. I’ve

§m Spare Momenta.
HI believe I've had John Smith up
here before," remarked Recorder
Broyles at the police matinee, accord-
ing to the Atlanta Constitution.
“I’se been in de gang erfore, Jedge
Briles," stated John Smith.
"Then you ought to have been more
circumspect," said the recorder, “and
not have got into this trouble. The
officer says you raised a cyolone of
profanity last night in Crooked Alley
and threatened to annihilate the en-
tire population.”
“Jedge Briles, yer hit on de head of
de kerrect nail ob de hull sitterwa-
shun,” said John Smith, “when yer
brung up de fae’ dat I’se bin in de gang
erfore.”
“Wherefore and whyfore?” asked
the recorder.
"Bekase,” was the reply, “it am de
rickerlicshun ob dem stripes an’ dem
chains an’ dem balls dat makes me git
riled when I h'ars ennyt’ing ob de lak
ob dat, Las’ nite dem niggers in de
alley sed ez how dey were gwine ter

less chain ter raise munny, an’ I stood
all dat. But when one ob de sisters
sed some'n erliout wantin’ folks ob
de rite stripe, den de handle ob mer
rileness flowed off an' I mout er ripped
out sum perflamed langwige.”
“I’m afraid you are too touchy about
your life in the gang,” remarked the
recorder.
“Enny nigger what’s bin dar am1
bleeged ter feel techous, Jedge Briles,"
stated John Smith, “fer dey habs er
way ob makin’ hit er techous bizness
wid de handiness ob de lash.”
“I’ll have to impose a small fine,"
stated Recorder Broyles, “justto make
you less sensitive. Three and costs
will. I think, touch up your techness.”
