Mosquitoes Under the Microscope.

We have long held the opinion that
the mosquito is an unmitigated scoun-
drel, who could give our own lively flea
six stones and beating over a long
course, but we are now convinced. A
gentleman has examined Mr. Mosquito
under u microscope, and his descrip-
ton is, TO say the least, startling. 1t
appears that in the ''bill'' of the little
beast alone there are no fewer than
five distinct surgical instruments.
These are described as lance, two
meat saws, suction pump, and a
small Corliss steam engine. 1t appears
that when ''skeeter" settles down to
his work upon nice tender portion of
the human frame the lance is first push
ed into the flesh; then the two saws,
placed back to back, begin to work up
and down TO enlarge the hole, then the
pump is inserted, and the victims
blood is siphoned up to the reservoirs
carried behind, and finally, to complete
TIE cruelty of the performance, tho
wretch drops quantity of poison into
the wound to keep it irritated. Then
the diminutivc fiend takes fly round
just to digest your gore. and makes
tracks for fresh victim, and If the
first one has been of unusual good
quality, he returns to the same happy
hunting-ground. The mosquitoes mar
velous energy. combined with his port
able operating chest, make him at
once terror and pest Our English
skin grazers are doves in comparison
with them. --London Sportsman

In contrast with Goethe, the Chancellor
has seldom uttered any confessions of reli-
gious faith at variance with other utterances
of his on the same subject, and any thoughts
on divine things directly opposed to former
" pronounced views. Nevertheless, he
passed through a rationalistic period-then
an unbelieving time, time, at least, in
which religion was no felt want-then a
period in which, as he decidedly affirmed, he
took up Christian and confessional stand
point. Lastly he has arrived at time in
which he may simply be defined as deeply
religious man who believes firmly in God, in
divine dispensation and in a personal con-
tinuance after death, who derives his sense
of duty from his faith, but lays little stress
on dogma, will hear nothing of intolerance,
and has no strong desire for priestly edifica-
ton. His mother was a sensible, enlight-
ened woman his father genial man, with
