The Paradise Of the Mosquito.

The coast of Swedish Lapland is
everywhere pierced by deep fjords,
sometimes many miles in length, and
everywhere forming immense swamps
and marshes-the paradise of the mos
quito, which breeds and swarms there
to an extent inconceivable in other
parts of the world. s'No words of
mine," says M. d'Alviella, s'could de-
scribe the tortures which these vam-
pires inflicted upon US during our days
march in the field. They were in ac-
tual clouds, and frequently hid the
landscape from us behind fog of black
dancing spots. They felt like close
rain Of needles dipped in venom" At
one place on the Muonio the party
adopted the mosquito armor Of the
country, ssa sort Of helmet of strong
linen" with an opening for the eyes
curtained by netting. ssOur whole bod
ies," he adds, s'were simply masses Of
blisters, and we were almost driven to
follow the example of the Englishman,
who, we are told, flung himself into the
river, maddened by the torture of the
stings. ."-LtppincoH's Magazine.

The road that leads from Brady Street
highway to st. Marguerite's Cemetery
passes across a little valley, and mid
way in that valley, not far from the
road, stands great haystack. Last
Sunday forenoon, q very long funeral
procession was on the valley road, and
the driver of the fourth or fifth carriage
gave the side of the haystack cut with
his whip. Immediately he and his load,
and all of the drivers and people behind
his rig, wished that he had minded his
business, and not been so free with his
whip, for hundreds of hornets swarmed
out of that stack and attacked the horses
and men and women furiously. He had
cut their nest. Many OF the horses
reared, plunged forward, pranced, tried
to run, and did run, but the hill just be-
fore them soon tuckered them out. The
men and women fought the hornets
with fans, handkerchiefs, parasols and
hats, nearly all the distance to the
cemetery. A few we're stung, and there
was some screeching, and would have
been more but for sense of decorum
due the solemn occasion. It is a won
der to every body in the procession that
no accident occurred. With all the
veering and dashing of the horses, not
even buggy tipped over. There is no
doubt, however, that, if the hill had not
been So near, serious accidents would
have secured; as it was, the first
driver had the good sense to let his team
try the hin when they started off on be-
ing stung, and the drivers behind him
followed his example. No funeral pro-
cession ever went up the hill at that one
did, we venture to say.-Davenporl

CONFESSION in the Church OF En-
gland was discussed in the House of
Lords recently, by Lords Oranmore and
Browne, who believed that there were
now several thousand clergymen who
practiced it, Notwithstanding that the
Bishops had spoken against it in their
charges. There were now notices in
several churches in the diocese Of Lon
don to the effect that the church would
be open for two hours three days a
week for the purpose Of confession and
absolution. The Bishop OF Manchester
had said in his pulpit that, though he did
not approve of it. he dared not forbid
it, so many of the most earnest among
his clergymen being favorable toit. In
the speakers opinion that was q direct
sanction to the practice. The clergy
encouraged young women to attend con-
fession surreptitiously. Lord Oranmore
narrated how clergyman in the diocese
Of Canterbury kept his church open be-
tween 10 a. m. and 5 p. m. to hear con-
fession and give absolution, and de-
scribed the case of one girl whose fam
lily relations he had embittered by en-
ticing her to the practice of confession.

Does Bees Hear?

The question whether bees have the
power of hearing is the mooted point
among naturalists. Sir John Lubbock
has tried experiments with his bees in
order to elucidate the matter. Thus he
has played the violin close to his bees,
he has tried dog-whistle, shrill pipe,
a tuning fork, and shouting, but
no noise seemed to disturb them in the
least. Nevertheless, curious occur
renee took place a few days since at
Windsor. Colonel Stewart, command
ing officer Second Life Guards, reports
that q few days since, when the regi-
ment was returning down the Long
Walk from field day, a swarm of bees
attracted by the music followed the
regiment into barracks, flying about
over the heads of the band. On arriv-
ing at the barrack-yard the band form.
ed up to play the regiment into barracks.
The bees followed their example, form
ing up also and settling on branch OF
a tree over the heads Of the bandsmen.
They were st once taken prisoners BY
the corporal OF the guard, and are now
hived in the barrack-yard. The distance
over which the bees followed the band
was more than mile. We have heard
of spelling bees, but these are musical
bees with yengence. 1t is q
common practice in the country to col
lect bees by means of rattling warm
ing-pan with piece of iron, or shak
ing stone in a tin kettle, and the ides
that bees win follow sound is as old a:

THIS doubtful story comes from Ala
nance County, North Carolina: A DR..
Hooper, a dentist, living in the north
ern part of the county, went to the
breakfast table prepared to poison his
wife, for what reasons is not stated.
They were seated alone at the table.
After pouring out the coffee, Mrs.
Hooper was dispatched out of the room
on some pretext, and in her absence
her husband poured into her cup a
deadly mixture. She returned, and it
happened that the doctor himself was
called from the room for moment.
In his absence a fly fell into his cup,
and Mrs. Hooper, wife-like, exchanged
cups. The doctor returned and drank
is coffee almost at one swallow. He
at once detected the singular taste of
the beverage, and asked his wife if she
had exchanged cups. She replied that
she had, giving the reason for it, when
he exclaimed, "Then l am a dead
mani" and in few minutes was a
corpse.
