Utilizing the Festive Mosnuito

The idea may soon be forced-such
are the works of science-to regard even
the mosquito as blessing in disguise.
Dr. Carlos Finlay, the Cuban physician,
believes that he has demonstrated that
incubation with yellow fever may be
made by the sting of the Cuban day mos

proportion to the number of punctures
and the quantity of poison retained by

tanned lead him to think that a form of
the disease may be given by one or two
mosquito bites which will be free from
danger and will render the subject of
the operation secure against a severe at

ing into Paris. Mr.. Smith and friends
this time were costly ensconccd in apart
ments in a hotel near the scene of the
ceremonies. in due time he secured a
good place from which nc could view
the cavalcadc. The solemn music came
nearer and the tramp of the batallions;
the people pressed closer and closer.
Little elbow room was left. Most
people had their hats off The
caskct with the precious ashes came in
sight. All heads were uncovered and
the awe was great; only Mr.. Smiths
head remained irrevcrcntly adorned.
" Hat off! Monsieur said voice be-
hind him. Hat off /" Mr.. Smith
tried to comply, but he couldn't move
an elbow quick enough. A stick came
down upon his hat; blow, and the hat
went still further down over the back of
his head, covering the ears and the nose;
there it stuck. Mr.. Smith was en-
vcloped in darkness. Some laughed and
some cursed. All thought it served him
right. Only when the crowd dispersed
could he raise his arms and push up his
chapcau, and regain daylight. But the
ceremonies were over then and the people
were going home. Smith left in disgust

Ivan the Terrible, of Russia, forgot
neither his devotions nor his diversions.
His palace alternated with prayer and
carousing. For his pastime bears were
brought from NOygorod. When from
his window he saw a group of citizens
collected he let slip two or three of
these fcrocious animals, and his delight
on beholdng the flight of the terrified
creatures, and especially on hearing the
cries OF the victims, was unbounded, his
bursts of laughter being loud and long
continued. TO console those who were
manned for life, he would sometimes
send a small piece of gold to each of
them. Another of his chief amusements
was in the company of testers, whose
duty it was to divert him, especially be-
fore and after his executions. But they
often paid dearly for an unreasonable
joke. Among these testers none was
more distinguished than Prince Gvosdof
who held high rank at court. The
car being one day dissatisfied with
Jest, poured over his head the boiling
contents of a soup basin The agonized
wretch prepared to retreat from the ia
bic, but the tyrant struck him with a
knife, and he fell senscless and welter-
ing in his blood. Dr. Avnolp was called.
" Save my good servant" said he czar;
81 have jested with him little too
hard" $50 hard, said the DOCTOR "that
only God anC your majesty can restore
him to life, he no longer breathes. -
Ivan expressed his contempt, called the
deceased favorite dog, and continued
his amusement. Another day, while he
sat at table, the Voyvod of Staritza. boris
Titof, appeared, bowed to the ground,
and saluted him after the customary
manner. "God save thee my dear voy-
vod Thou deservest proof of my ia
vor," said the car, and he seized knife
and cut of an ear. Titof thanked him
for the gracious favor, and wished him
happy reign.

for the purpose Of mastering in Post, but
there are enough ex.soldiers in Southern

the number to fifty. II is desisous to start
the Post as strong in numbers as circum.

COEUR D'ALENE COMFORT.

Information from the C9ur d'Alene dis.
trict states that thus far the boom has been
Of a purely superficial character. A letter
lately received at Dillon, from man who
has had twenty years experience off and
on in mining, says: "Things have taken
change here. People are leaving the
mines, and few are arriving at Eagle City.
l don't think there has been three ounces
Of gold taken out Of these diggings, but
lots Of It brought In from California and
New Mexico, which they claim came out
Of the mines here. If times do not &c:
better will get out Of this place. The
trail between Belknap and Eagle City is
about gone. They have about given up the
wagon road for bad job, or until the snow

THE MEDICINE LODGE BRANCH.

An exchange, in mentioning the propos'

useful enterprise, soon to be carried out ny
the Union Pacific Co. is the building OF
branch from Red Rock Station, on the U.
and NJ, to the coal mines on the Medicine
Lodge. Though called coal mines, they
are in reality Ignite mines, but as the prod
uct is readily combustible, and gives forth
a fierce heat, it makes very satisfactory
cheap fuel. The construction Of the Med.
icine Lodge branch will not be delayed
long, and the result will be that the COM
pany will be able to sell coal In Butte at Sc
or Sc. 60 per ton."
