MosoUIToEs.-These vexatons, pes

are glad to say. made their appearance
in smaller numbers, SO far, this year
than we ever noticed before. Their ab-
sence affords us, OF course, great comfort
and satisfaction, but we are somewhat
at a loss to account for it unless it be
the long dry weather, In the same
connection we will assert--whiie we
think Of it-upon the authority Of nat
uralists that he mosquitoes never lite,
and that it is the she-devils that so an
noy us. This accounts for their reck less
audacity and cruelty, for when any kind

LOVES OF BoNNETs.-A beautiful bonr
| net, recently imported from the house
Of Virot, Paris, is of real black lace put
on very full over diadem shape, and
tasteiully trimmed. Across the front,
resting upon the forehead, are sprays of
the lovely linden flower, above which is
a wreath of variegated ivy leaves, look
ing as natural as though just taken
from the walls of some ancient castle.
Surrounding the wreaths of linden and
ivy are two soft pink roses, from which
vine of buds and leaves trails over the
chignon. A delicate rosebud nestles
among the ivy leaves at the left side, its
slender tendrils running along the lace,
forming the crclet in front. Long ends
of black Chantilly lace, falling from the
back, are clasped together by spray of
the linden flower ...
1t is one of the most attractive bon
nets OF the season, and can be pur-
chased for iorty-fve dollars.
A quiet but pretty bonnet 10 of tulle,
over diadem shape, with sprays of
the mignonette and emerald leaves rest
ing upon the soft folds of tulle and ex-
tending half down lace ruffle that
hangs loosely under the chin. Long
scarf ends of black Chautilly lace are
joined by spray of mignonette.

fed it will cover more than halt the
cases of sickness throughout the country

ed to see children gorge themselves

ure; but we have been more astonished
to see grown up people doing the same
thing. Doubtless many life is lost
every year from this very cause, and we
think # duty to cry out against tho
practice. Prudence in eating at all
times, and especially in the summer sea-
son, is worth more than all the danger

cine, are scarcely equalled in their de-
truction of human life by war, pesti

Parents, if you love your children,
keep unripe fruit away from them, and
prevent the eating of even ripe fruit to
excess.
