HOW MOSQUITOES BITE.

The mosquito has proboscis like an
elephant, only not SO large. 1t will, how
ever, look nearly as large under good
microscope. He cannot do as many handy
things with it as the elephant can with his,
but he can cause good deal of annoy
ance in small way with it. 1t is hardly
the thing to say that the mosquito bites US,
for he has no teeth. The microscope re-
veals the fact that he carries pair of
scissors inside of his proboscis-the neatest
and sharpest little cutting tools you ever
saw. He gets his living by these. They
are two delicate blades, and are placed
alongside each other. When he is ready
to make meal of US, he first buzzes
around with those beautiful wings and
sings pleasant little song. If we let him
quietly settle down, he picks out place
on our skin which is just to his liking. He
is very delicate about it. When he gets
ready he puts his proboscis down, flashes
the little scissors out and makes neat
cut. so that he can suck the blood out.
Then he drinks as much blood as he wants,
and is done his dinner But he does not
leave yet. He is going to pay his bill. He
has taken out blood, and he will leave US
something in exchange for it. With all
his faults he is an honest little fellow, after
his fashion. He has the pay in his pocket.
ready to squeeze out before he goes. 1t
is poison, but that makes no difference to
him. 1t is the best he has to give US. His
poison pocket is at the head Of his probo-
scis, and at the lower end of his proboscis
he has another little pocket. into which he
puts poison enough for one dose. This
poison is very powerful. A very little
makes the place where the mosquito puts
it very sore. After he has sucked our
blood he puts the drop of poison into the
place he took the blood from. 1t is not
the bite or the cut that the mosquito makes
that hurts us, but the dropping of this pow
erful poison into our flesh. If this mos
quito were large enough to give power
ful dose of this poison, it would be bad for
us. If he were as big as kitten, and his
poison as strong in proportion, bite from
him would kill us. Erchaage.

THE COMFORT OF OLD SHOES.

Sufferers who moan over shoes will rel
ish this pleasant bit from the Christian
Union
Nothing seems to affect the vitality of
the old shoe. Its characteristic age pos
tulates at once freedom from the restraints
OF youth--that is, newness. Hence its
benignant look. Hence its comforting ap-
pearance. Like a weather-beaten frigate,
1t smiles upon you from each yawning
seam and worn out button-hole. How
easily does it fit, and how snugly do you
nestle within it! Water only makes it
softer, and you are never anxious after its
welfare in mud. Even a new shoe, the
standard OF beauty, is at best capricious
New fashion DEGREES square toes, now
round" toes, and now, "box" toes. To-
day she mods gracioGsly at shoes of kid;
tomorrow, she deties shoes of cloth. But
tons are first her detestation, and then her
admiration. Buckles she loves, and soon
buckles she hates. Now, beauty you do
not look for in an old shoe. no more than
you expect the proportions of Venus de
Medici in your aged grandmother, or the
brightness OF azure and crimson i'm the
starry flag when blackened with powder
and rlddled with shot amid the thickening
smoke OF the battle. 1t would embarrass
you if you found it, and you would be re-
luctant to outrage its graceful symmetry
and luxliriousness of shape by inserting
therein your ungainly foot.
In shoe, beauty is but cloth and leath-
er deep, and were one to limit his atten-
ton to the mere surface OF the shoe. his
love would be truly superficial Every
scar, every cash. every disjointed seam,
every eruption on the side, or abrasion on
the sole, these only add to yonr affection.
Love soon changes into reverence, as day
after day the marks of age rapidly in
crease. The shoe SO often worn is now
treading the downward path; and, at last
when relentless fashion condemns the shoe
as shabby because, forsooth, the once
radiant leather is wreathed in rings of
snow, the once gorgeous buttons have
and the formerly sedate but
ton-holes yawn beyond all decency, then
fittingly though reluctantly, you part with
it. Its usefulness have now passed to
higher stage; one might almost call it
translation. You place it ON some dingy
shelf in dingier closet, along with per-
haps an old hat or coat, and other memo
rials Of departed greatness. there to muse
sadly over the decay of glory and fickless-
ness of fortune, as exemplilied even in
