Gold snd other fishes instead ot oil willbe used to exterminatethe mosquito pest In New England if the advice of Dr. Samuel Ger-man of Harvard and other scientists is followed.

Gold fish are very fond of mosquitoes and their larvae, butsome of the breeding places of the insects cannot be reached hy thelarger fish, so smaller species are to be Introduced.

It is claimed, hut not scientifically, that ths mosquitoes not de-voured may be scared to death by the terrifying names of the fish.

There are many gold fishes la the Charles river, hut amongthe smaller and less slugglst varieties proposed to help in the workof preventing 300,000 deaths annually from germ Infected 'mos-quito bites a.c the cyprlnodonta, the fundulus magals, sygonectesoottll and the zygonestes olivaceus.

If these don't do the work they can trot out the heterandria tor-moss and t£e gambusia holbrokt, which are said to be capable otputting on the finishing touches. •SIGHT MONTHS' OLD BABY WEIGHS 48 FOUNDS.

Helen Mantle, eight months old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Thomas Mantle of Belleville, 111., Is the fattest baby of its age inthe world. N i

' The child weighs 48 nounds, and is healthy, and still growingrapidly. All its ancestors were of normal weight. At its birth Itweighed but eight pounds <PRAISES THE ERIE FOR "MEANING WELL."

The Erie railroad, estimated to have been responsible for 37 percent of all the bad language in the United States, has been officiallypraised by the village of Ridgewood, N. J.

The village seat out through Its board of trade a letter ex-pressing the kindliest feeling for the railroad, one of the phrases be-ing "The Erie railroad means well."TOOK RIDE ON A BEAR AND BROKE RECORDS.

By negotiating a 100 yard dash in six seconds (estimated), T.C. Wilson of South Roblnston, Me., copped the record for riding a(bear bareback. _ • ' f

It was an impromptu affair, and was pulled off without any pre-liminary training or rehearsals.

. . Wilson and a friend were serenely treading an old, secludedfootpath in the woods near Bangor, Wilson leading the way.

When they came to a fence Wilson llghtely vaulted It, butfailed to Teach terra firms on the other side. His friend saw astreak and then no more Wilson for a while.

What happened was that Wilson landed on the broad back of a(bear taking a siesta. The bear was off with a bound and a ratherdisconcerting "Woof!" Down the path they streaked It, Wilsoneilnglng aboard his steed until he came to his senses.

Notwithstanding the speed at which he was going, the hunterthen dropped off. The bear did not wait for him.HAIRPIN SAVES 200 STALLED ON RAILROAD.

A hairpin enabled 200 persons to ride into Coney Island after(they had been hopelessly stalled for some time by a- fuse blowingcut on an electric train at Eighty-fourth street, Brooklyn.

John Brady, the motorman, tried on three trains that came up

to get a fresh fuse, but there was not one to be found. Then heentered a car and asked which lady would give him a hair pin, sothe train could get a fresh start.

One facetiously said stfe would give her hair Itself to be on herway—lt didn't cost but $2.39 anyhow. Three offered hairpins andBrady selected the longest. Fashioning it into a sort of horseshoe,tie produced a new fuse and the waiting trains were off again.

CITY WILL DRAIN RESERVOIRTO AVOID POSSIBLE FLOOD

COLUMBUS, 0., July s.—Tho ,Lewises of 434 N. Jefferson ave-nue don't go in for race suicide.Anything but that. In 25 yearsof married life Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Lewis have been blessed with 14children, 12 of whom art' now liv-ing.

The other day the Lewises cele-brated their twenty-fifth weddinganniversary. The affair was a joy-ous one and "the house was crowd-ed. But the better part of thecrowd was made up of sons anddaughters of the house of Lewis.There were present eight daugh-ters and four sons.

The Lewises have a curious the-ory about the raising of children.They believe that It lb easier toraise a big brood of children asyoungsters should be reared thanIt Is to rear a little brood. Thebig, happy, well-behaved group ofchildren that they have aboutthem constitutes prima . facie evi-dence that their theory is a soundone— least, in so fat as It ap- i

TACOMA WOMAN DAUGHTEROF JUSTICE FULLER

Dementia praecox, which Por-ter Charlton, who killed his wifein Italy, is said to be afflictedwith, Is one of the most dreadedmental affections known to themedical profession.

The patient, ln the final stages,ls unable to care for himself, andmust be fed, washed, and caredfor like a baby.

In its earlier stages and during

the development of the disease,

the patient is characterized by

abnormal emotions, lack of 'co-or-dination of Ideas, violent out-bursts of temper with little or noprovocation, hallucinations, and ishaunted by uncanny fears.

Mrs. Hugh C. Wallace of Taco- ing for Chicago to attend the fun- Systematized hallucinations are

>[plies to the Lewises. .Mother Lewis thinks that ft big

family regulates itself automati-cally; that 12 children can bekept in order with less exertionthan one or two. She says:

"I believe In big families. Themore children the better behavedthey are. When you have 12 well-fed and healthy youngsters underone roof they don't llnd It neces-sary to go outside hunting forplaymates; they are not apt to bereached by evil Influences from theoutside, either. If there Is any-thing that make a child unselfishIt ls to have 11 brothers aud sis-ters around.".. "Father Lewis thinks very muchHi does Mother Lewis.

THE LEWIS THEOREM

One child in a family, be-ins the whole cheese, be-comes, in his own| estima-tion, the center of the uni-verse.

Therefore, he becomesself-centered, selfish andhard to manage.

A dozen children ln afamily, being each but asmall fraction of the filialfold, becomes a sympatheticand docile dozen, becauseeach is surrounded by 11 oth-ers with equal rights andprivileges, and is thus led tolook upon self as having.fraternal relations that carrywith them fraternal duties.

Since one child Is selfishand rambunctious while adozeu are self-sacrificing anddocile.

Therefore a dozen childrenare better than one.

> but the patient himself.A case recently came under the

observation of the Johns Hop-

I kins hospital. A young man,I who previously enjoyed the best

of health, was married, and the

r next day returned to his wife,' after drinking with companions.I The next morning he jumped outof bed, seized his wife, almost

' strangled her to death and" threatened the lives of all whocame near him. This case wasthought for a time to sbe ofspontaneous development, but in-sanity was later found in his fa-

-1 ther's history.\ As an example of the lack of; co-ordination of Ideas, this is asample of conversation of a

' young girl suffering with demen-; tia praecox:

"How are you?""I am tolerable, I am sick, I

need a care, I need to go toheaven."

"Where do you think you are?""Ido not know. Oh, yes ,1 am

here, I am here on the bed." ,"How long have you been

here?" \u0084 ..., "I have been here a long time—already want the bible in my'lands."

"What do you want in yourhands?"

"I guess It would be lilies. Oh,na, she must not; oh, yes, thebible. Hand me the pencil andthe paper, let me write, write theother way. Won't you please sendfor a watermelon? t That woulddo me good. Iwant some water."j . "Are you hungry?" V , -\u25a0-*;.

I "Yes, I want something in my' stomach, I want someone to kiss

me.") After giving way to acts of.violence Inspired by uncontrollableJpassion, the patient willfrequent-"ly express regret, but there Is no*true penitence. : All moral sensevanishes from the patient, and he
