BOSTON people are very particular, and
among them are some excellent Judges of
musical instruments. Is it then remarka-
Bile that the school committee selected the
Miller piano for use in the public schools ?
Boston is not alone in this. More than
hfty academies and schools in New Eng
land are doing the same thing. These
instruments are tirst-class in every re-
spect' and they are deservedly popular.

Mosquitoes Of tho Arctic Regions.


In work recently published III London,
"The Land of the North Wind, or Travels
among the Laplanders and the Samoyedes,"
the author, EDWARD Roe, gives the following
account of the Arctic mosquitoes, which al.
most makes us content with our own
THE one bitter drop in our cup of Joy was
the monstrous but inseparable curse of Arc
tic summer life, the mosquito. He aboundc6,
tlourished, luXuriated, surpassed himself and
outmosquitoed himself on the Kuloi river.
We are at his mercy. Our wells, gauntlets,
handkcrchiefs, flapper-all were "A vanity and
veXation. To kill WAS wantOn, tor TO destroy
sufficient was impossible. We had tOreseen
all this, and had even thought Of taking,
among other things, n woodpecker from
home with us 10 protect our faces while we
slept. But one woodpecker would have been
a solemn mockery. We should have required
a fresh woodpecker every five minutes
suppose these were the historical flies that
punished the disobedient, obstinate Egyp-
tians. They came forth in order, and after
these grievUus plagaes-the corruption of
the waters, the multitude OF frogs and the
swarms of llce-had entirely failed. We are
becoming connOiseurs in mosquitoes; we
watch them traverse our wells like figures on
slides in magic lantern. There is the yel
low striped vampire mosquito, with trip
lie fang to the probOscis; there is the brown,
or camel mosquito, with legs
of gossamer, who appears to our vindictive
eyes to be from two to three inches IN length !;
finally there is the scorpion mosquito, very
searching and business.like. We dislike him
greatly, for he wastes no time We know
now that leather IS a hollow delusion, and
gauntlets are of no avail"

Went she fast
Willows bent TO watch her
As she passed;
Hemlock slender, poplar
Straight and high,
Brushed their tops against her fingers,
Tripping by.
Half q mile to every minute
Life enough,
Though she found the going
Rather rough;
