MosquItoes in The Arctic RerIons.
A member Of Lieutenant schwatka

A member Of Lieutenant Schwatka's
exploring expedition says:
The temperature in HudsOn's Strait
was much lower than in the bay, and
we felt the cold intensely. ] began 70
imagine that my acclimatization had not
been complete until noticed that the
lnuits who came on board complained
OF the cold as much as we did. Indeed,
l believe that one feels the cold in an
Arctic summer much more disagreeably
than in the winter. The low tempeEa-
ture In the strait is in all probability
attributable to the ice that Is constantly
there, either local ice or the pack
brought down from Fox Channel by the
wind and current. The great Grinnel
glacier, on Meta IncOgnita, which Cap
tain Hall estimated 10 be one hundred
miles in extent, must also have con-
siderable effect upon the climate. As
we passed down toward Resolution Isl
and we could see this great sea of ice
from the deck Of the vessel in all its
grandeur, surrounded by lofty peaks clad
in their ever-enduring mantels Of snow.
l did not 20 on shore while our vessel
lay at anchor in North Bay, for / had
no anxiety to encounter the mosquitoes
which abound there, though not TO the
extent which makes life such a burden
as upon the eastern shores Of Hudson's
Bay. Captain Baker and l went in one
Of the ships boats TO the mainland,
about fifteen miles TO the southwest, to
secure lot of musk-ox skins and other
articles Of trade at a Kinnepatoo en-
campment there, and though we spent
| but one night on shore 1 never before
| endured such torture from so small a
! cause as the mosquitoes occasioned us.
The natives kept their tent filed with
| smoke from a slow, smouldering FIRE in
| the doorway, which is the only plan to
render them habitable at all, but the
remedy is only one degree better than
| the disease, as Captain Baker remarked
to me, with his eyes filled with tears
The only relief from these torments is a
| strong breeze from the water which
carries them away; but even then it is
not safe TO seek shelter in the lee Of a
tent, for there they swarm and are as
| vigorous in their attacks as during a
calm. The men wear mosquitO-net
hoods over their heads and shoulders
while in camp or hunting, and the women
and children live in the smoke of their
smouldering peat fires.
The shores of Hudson's Bay are low
and barren and abound in lakes Of every
size and shape. They are too low to
produce glaciers, but are just right for
the production of the finest crop of
mosquitoes to be found in the world,
as has previously been remarked by
Franklin, Richardson, Back, and, in
deed, all the explorers of this territory.

Coal Oil Running to Waste.

THERE are in round numbers nearly
5000 producing oil wells in the Brad
ford district. Their daily yield is TO-
600 barrels. The lower or old oil fields
are producing $4,000 barrels a day.
The daily demand for petroleum is 55,-
600 barrels. This is the amount now
run by the pipe lines. The accumula-
ton of oil for which there is no present
demand long ago exhausted the storage
capacity. For three months 5000 barrels
have been running to waste every day.
There are 100000 barrels of petroleum
in wooden tanks at the wells. 1t is es-
timated that there are at least 100000
barrels of accumulated stock in the
storage tanks of the pipe lines. The
oil that is running to waste is run upon
the ground and into the creeks. Enter
prising individuals build dams along
these streams and collect the floating
"grease." Hundreds of barrels are
pumped off and stored in improvised
tanks to await market. Individual
producers are building private tanks to
Store the over production. There are
now 100000 barrels of this tankage in
this region. The number of wells stead
lily increases every month, in spite of the
situation.
The Bradford wells are all flowing
CELLS. This fact is what caused the
abandoning of so many of the wells in
the lower field, they being all bumpers.
Until recently the ''sucker-rod" and
pumping engine were almost unknown
in the Bradford field. Now they are
in demand. Many of the oil wells
have fallen off greatly in their yield.
The supply companies can not furnish
enough sucker-rods and engines to meet
the call for them. Secondhand ones
from the lower field find ready mar
ket at good prices. This resort to the
pump is creating no little uneasiness in
the field. 1t indicates that the gas is
failing. A flowing well on being
pumped increases its yield largely, but
the continuance of full yield becomes
uncertain. The positive defined area
of the Bradford oil-producing field in
cludes $4,000 acres. There is well TO
every five acres of land that have been
developed, which leaves about $4,000
acres yet TO drill. Wells on this terri
tory will not be put down with such
reckless haste as has characterized past
operations, because it is controlled by
large companies of capitalists. Brad
ford (Pa.) Cor. NeU York Sun.

washing or Working Butter.

Some years ago il was thought that a
great discovery had been made, to the
effect that washing the buttermilk out
was great injury to butter and so it was
determined that the only way to make
a first class article was to work the but
termilk out and wipe the butter off with
a damp sponge or linen cloth. Well
we remember how the butter expound.
ers rang the changes on this great dis
covery. Many were the theories ad-
vanced as to how and why washing in
jured the butter. The saccharine prop
critics were soluble in water, was one.
The delicate favors were ephemeral
and liable to get washed away, was an
other; and so the sponge took posses
sion of the dairy-house, and such an
abomination as a sponge is after it has
been used few weeks in summeri All
full of old butter that cannot be washed
out-a thing that should be toler-
ated in no well regulated dairy.
The cloth is decidedly better, but
in our opinion an entirely useless arti.
Gle. Clean fresh water can take its
place with far less trouble and no dan
ger. The sole purpose Of either wash
ing or working butter is TO free it from
buttermilk before sailing, and either
process, if properly done, will accom-
plish the end in view. The great
trouble in working butter is that it re-
quires decided skill to do it properly,
and while many dairymen understand
the operation, a great many do not; and
as it is very much harder to work than
to wash the buttermilk out, many fail
to entirely rid the butter of it, which
will soon cause the butter to become
rancid, and the working method is per-
haps condemned because it is not prop
erly done. AS Ezra Michener, a noted
Philadelphia butter maker, says: Wash
ing effectually removes the buttermilk,
and can be done in one-fourth the time
required to work it out, which is an
important item to any farmers wife
with her manifold duties. | can
now count dozen who are wash
ing their butter to one who diu so
ten years ago, and we are not
to suppose they are doing an injury to
their product. While l do not claim
any superiority for washed over worked
butter Gf properly worked), do claim
it is in no wise inferior, and that the
time saved is sufficient if the perform
ance is properly understood, to cause a
very general adoption of the method. y"
The action of water on unsalted but
ter is purely mechanical, carrying of
only the buttermilk, because it is solu-
BILE in water and really mingles with it.
As to the favors and delicate aromas
being carried off by water, we cannot
believe it, as this is now almost the uni
versal practice in the largest and most
noted creameries in the country. Fresh
running water as near to sixty-five de-
grees is the best for this purpose. If
the water is allowed to be so warm as
to melt, or render the butter quite soft,
it will certainly do harm, but this should
of course be avoided if to accomplish 1t
ice should have to be used. If the water
is too cold it will stiffen the butter so
that all the buttermilk cannot be reached
and thus do injury. If properly used it
is perfectly innocent and most conven-
ient.-American Dairyman.

Setting Milk for Cream.

The greatest mistakes in the dairy
are made in setting the milk for cream.
In the family dairy, where one COW sup
plies milk and butter, the arrangements
are usually better than in some farm
dairies. Here the arrangements are
often surprisingly bad. 1 have seen the
milk offour cows set in a sleeping room
and under the bed. The young woman
who managed that dairy prided herself
on her good butter. What she knew OF
bad butter must have been fearful to
contemplate. In some farm-houses the
milk is set in the living-room, where the
cooking and eating are done and where,
in the evening, the farmer and the
hired-man smoke their pipes and dry
their wet boots and socks under the
stove. No wonder some persons prefer
Oleomargarine to butter made in that
fashion. If these lines come under the
notice of any one, man or woman, who
keeps milk under such circumstances
as these, or in any way approaching to
them, would say to him or her, that
good butter cannot be made in that way,
and the labor spent over it is only half
or quarter paid for.
Inc llrsJ necessity IN seJtlng Une MIX
is perfect purity of place and surround

A moderate circulation of fresh and
moist air.
Shelves raised at least three feet from

Mosquitoes and Malaria.

MOSQUITOES, according to some doc
tors of the new school, are natures
prophylactic against malaria, the liquid
injected by the sting depositing crys-
tai which, upon analysis, is supposed to
be identical with quinia. The idea of
the mosquito being the counter-irritsnt
to malaria is certainly a very benevolent
one, though it will hardly prevent peo-
pie from killing their medicine on sight.
But why not assume the converse of the
proposition, that mosquitoes are the
cause of malaria? Certainly the big
gest mosquitoes and those that bite the
hardest are found where chills are most
severe and fevers hottest. In Louisiana
and Mississippi, where the "break-
bone " fever RACES, the mosquitoes have
the reputation of being able to pierce
through thick buckskin glove. In
those sections, ladies do their sewing
under mosquito nets, and the most
ardent lover, when he goes courting,
always finds "bar " between him and
the object of his affections.-Erchange.

THE PLUMES or CRECY.

Twas reading. Of kings and mobiles,
Tourney and lSnightly gage,
TIL the summer twilight faded
From FrOissarts ancient page.
Then in the darkened pnrlor
saw fHirCr sight
The brave Old King whose valor malzoa
The shame of Crecy light.
He stood on the little hill. side,
Taller than all his peers,
Quite blind but with eyes uplNted,
HOury with many years;
Stlll wearing his golden armor,
Crowned with his royal crown,
Leaning upon the sword with which
He struck the Soldnn down.
And high in his cleaning helmet
Three ostrich piumes, snow white
From the Paynim's brow he tore them
In some Jabluna fight.
All Scared with Carpathian arrows,
His hcu1t with Honor flames:
" Advance" he cries, land fight for France,
Bohemia, and St. JamesW
But two Of his knights staid by him,
And little did they say;
The blind old King talked with his heart,
And that was in the fTny.
Alas! alas He heard too soon
The sounds of shameful flight;
"Thank Cod" he sighed, "Bohemia's blind"-
He would not see this sight.
Now, friends, one more good deed claim,
Last service for your lord:
ask a soldiers grave, good knights;
I'll dig It with my sword.
My horses retns tie fast TO yours
a friend on either hand
Then ride straight on to whore you see
The English archers stand"
They kissed their King most tenderly,
Then three as one they went
Down to the field Of certain death
With proud and glad content.
They cut a path TO where Prince Charles,
The Kings son, stood at bay:
tTWus spirits, and not flesh and blood,
For honor fought that day,
The three white plumes above the gloom
Cleaned like snowy wing;
YictOrs and vanquished paused TO watch
The blind Bohemian King.
Pierced off by arrows, stained with DlOodJ
The SOldan's plumes still wave,
Until Bohcmia's sword had cut
Honor's unsullied grave.
Next day, when English heralds sought
over the fatal field
Tramplcd lilies and flags of France,
They found upon his shield
The blind old King of Bohemia,
Son and friends by his side;
But torn and stained the snowy plumes
Thatlong had been his pride.
Then said the Black Prince over him,
80 knight the brHvest, best,
Thy plumcs are dyed in hero's blood
Henoeforth they are my crest"
And still they wave DER Englauds crown,
And teach the young and brave,
When all is lost but honor, then
Valor digs Ionor's grave.
