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 q beating over long
course, but we are now convinced. A
gentleman has examined Mr.. Mosquito
under microscope, and his descrip-
ton is, to say the least, startling. It
appears that in the "bill' of tho little
beast alone there are no fewer than
five distinct surgical instruments.
These are described as q lance, two
meat saws, suction pump, and q
small Corliss steam engine. 1t appears
that when a "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 siphoued up to the reservoirs
carried behind, and finally, to complete
the cruelty of the performances, the
wretch drops a quantity of poison into
the wound to keep it irritated. Then
the diminutive fiend takes fly round
just to digest your gore, and makes
tracks for fresh victim, and if the
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.

Nervousness in Women.

One cause of the extreme nervous
ness of American women is living too
much in the darkness when indoors,
says the Herald Of Health. The rooms
are kept dark to save the carpets and
keep out the flies, and rs a consequence
both the house and the occupants lack
the benefits of fresh air and sunshine.
Houses from which the sun is excluded
are not wholesome. There is always u
damp, depressing condition in them
that makes itself evident at once to a
sensitive temperament. The minds
and bodies of all who live in such
houses are affected by it. Both health
and spirits are depressed. Their occu-
pants have not only the depressing eff
feet of the lack of light and sun to
contend against, but'the reaction con-
sequent upon living in unwholesome
conditions. All the rooms in the house
should have both light and sunshine
freely admitted at all times, whether
they are in daily use or not. They arc
thus keep sweet, and are In good con-
dition when they are wanted.
Nelson SiZer once said, when max
ing chronological examination: .'Be
rs much as possible in the sunshine.
People who live in dark rooms and
wear black are pale all through" You
cannot have too much of light either
in your lives or in your houses, for
good health. You may live; but it is
not all of life to live. Merely to exist
is but small part of our work in this
world. We should so live that body
and mind are at all times in their best
condition. We are then ready and able
to do whatever duty may be required
of US in such way that the doing
merely shall be pleasurable. and the
reaction on ourselves and others bene-
fetal 1t should be, in fact the relig-
ious duty of livery one to so live.
Many a oman and child have been
sacrificed to save the carpets and keep
out the flies. Many fit of illness has
resulted from the same cause. Many
disappointed, cherries life can be
traced back to sunless rooms as be-
ginning. Multitudes of women and
children are only half living to-day be-
cause only half-fed. Sunshine and
light and air are as much food for body
and soul as the fruits and grains and
vegetables that we take into our stom-
achs; and we can not get surfeit of
them as food. The more we have the
hattar

Something About Bananas.

1t is astonishing how little is known
of bananas, considering the extcnt to
which they are eaten. New York gets
every week an average of $4,000
punches. From Floridap Not single
one. Why, Florida only raises enough
bananas for home consumption. All
these yellow ones we get from Central
America, principally from Aspinwall.
Those big, fat, red fellows are from
Cuba. PlantainsP Oh, no, that's a
general mistake. Plaintains are only
edible when cooked; they arc more
vegetable than fruit. You didn't know
there were $50 distinct varieties of ban
anas, did youP The fruit comes to us
quite green, but in the Summer will
ripen in one or two days. Cool weather
compels us to use artificial treatment,
and we hang them in n close room and
apply heat. Now, that green bunch
will not be ripe under four days. With

Canker Worms and Lager Beer.

On the underside of almost any ap-
pie leaf to-day are half-dozen black
lines. You can not sec them without q
careful inspection, but in week or so
you will not be able to see anything
else. They spread all over the tree as
quickly rs bad news spreads over a
community, and they eat up the leaves,
kill the fruit, and burn the whole tree
all over until it looks as If q FIRE had
visited 1t. 1t will be but short time
when the most disgusting sight to be
found will be the beautiful apple orch
ards.
These nasty pests, the canker worms,
are now in their third successive year
of appearance. The story goes that
they stay for seven years and then dis
appear for seven years; but about here
it seems to be nearly always some of
the seven years of their abundance.
They are among the most disagreeable
of all the crawling objects. They in
wade houses, go all over ones clothes,
and generally make themselves an ut
ter nuisance when out of place, and
when in place at their appointed work
they are still worse.
Along in the time when hard cider
was the great drink, and apples ranked
as necessary preliminary to intoxica-
ton, the canker worm was unknown in
New England. Now, when lager beer
has come into its wide use and the ap-
pie Is only desired as an article Of
healthful diet, tho canker worm turns
up in full force and the apple is driven

An Indian Delicacy.

The Indians scattered along the foot
hills of the Sierra, says Nevada COR
respondent of the San Francisco Chro1,-
tcte, are quiet, inotfensive people.
They do not appear to be governed by
any tribal laws. yet adhere to many of
their old traditions. The tide of indus
try and civilization sweeping over and
around has left them greatly modified
by tho contact, and although they re-
tain the original characteristics of the
race, in some respects they are much
improved. One or two men of superior
ability and industry form nucleus
around which others less ambitious
gather. Here they fence n tract with
logs and brush sufficient for their re-
quirements of haymaking, pasturage,
etc. They invariably build their cabins
upon the most slightly point. even when
the spring that furnishes their water is
half way down the hill. This habit has
no doubt descended from warlike an
cestry, and is no evidence of an 8es-
thetic delight in hazy valleys and misty
mountain tops. Their gardens are not
an assured success when water is plen-
tiful and the weather propitious. They
cannot always wait for their maturity.
Many of them are industrious and find
remunerative work ut wood chopping,
sheep shearing, etc.
Although they often indulge in the
food of civilized nations, the acorn is
still a favorite article of diet in every
well regulated wigwaln. The process
of converting this bitter nut into any,
thing like palatable bread is curious.
Under the branches of a grand old pine
| found them at work. They had
shucked and ground in the usual man
ner large mass of acorn meats; a
number of circular vats had been hol-
lowed out of the black soil, much the
shape of punch bowl. Into these was
put the acorn pulp. At hand stood
several large clothes baskets filled with
water, and into these they dropped hot
stones, thus heating the water to the
required temperature. Upon the mass
of crushed bitterness they carefully Ia
died the hot water, making it about the
color and consistency of thin cream.

asked to taste of it, at which they
said something in their own language
and all laughed. asked again, and
after more laughter l was handed
small piece on fig leaf, and
found it sweet and palatable. They
began at once to remove it, and so
adroitly was this done that but small
portion adhered to the soil. They
spread it upon the rocks, and in short
time it was fit for use. This, am
told, they mix with water, pat into thin
cakes and bake before the fire.

Politcncss Rewarded.

''Will you be kind enough. sir, to
hold this ram for me while open this
gateP 1t is fastened on the inside, and
l must climb over"
This modest remark was made by a
man who was standing at gate on a
lonely road running out of New Dorp,
Staten Island, and 1t was addressed to
a stalwart sailor who had just come
up. The only other object visible on
the long, straight road was the large
black ram. whose massive crooked
horns were being held Nv the man as
the two stood quite still in front of the
gate.
"Why, sartinly. shipmate." said the
obliging tar, as he seized the big horns
and relieved the first holder.
The latter climbed quickly over the
gate.
II thank you very much" he said
politely when he got to the other side.
'.You will be surprised to hear that /
never saw that ram before to-day. The
brute attacked me about half an hour
ago, and we have been tussling togeth-
or ever since. As long as You stand

A Statesman of the Old School.

General James Findlay, who had
served creditably in the war Of 1912,
was n jackson democratic representa-
tive in the days of the contest between
"Old Hickory" and "Biddle's bank"
He was type of gentleman Of the
old school, and the descriptions of him
recall Washington Irving's picture of
the master of Bracebridge hall. The
bluff and hearty manner, the corpu-
lent person, and the open countenance
cratic blue and buff, and his gold-head-
ed cane. all Tailed with my conception
of the English country gentleman of
the olden time and the better type, and
his sometimes tender walk and equity
toe gave evidence that, although he
possessed most of their excellences, he
also partook somewhat of their weak
nesses. He was greatly beloved in
Ohio, and several anecdotes are told Of
his kindness in enforcing the claims of
the United States when he was receiver
of the District land Office, for lands
sold on credit. as was the custom in
those days. Upon one occasion there
had been a general tightness in money
matters, and many farms in the region
northeast of Cincinnati but partly paid
for were forfeited to the Government.
In the discharge of his official duty
General Findlay attended at the place
of sale. He learned soon after his ar
rival there that many spectators were
present prepared to purchase these
lands. Mounting stump, he opened
the sale. He designated the lands
aforesaid, and said that he was there
to offer them 10 the highest bidder. He
said that the original purchasers were
honest men, but that in consequence of
the hard times, they had failed to meet
their engagements. But if they had
more time the Government would lose
nothing. 1t was hard thus to be forced
from their homes, already partly paid
for. But the law was imperative, and
the lands must be offered. "And now"
continued he, Il trust that there is no
gentleman-no, will not say that
hope there is no id rascal here so
mean rs to buy his neighbours home
over his head. Gentleman, offer this
lot for sale. Who bids?' There was
no forfeited land sold that day. Cir
cumstances of this kind were some of
the causes of General Findlay's popu-
larity throughout his district; and con-
sequently, it was folly, in the days of
his vigor, to attempt his defeat for
congress. When he ran for governor
of Ohio, however, in 1884, he was de-
feated by Robert Lucas.-Ben: -Perley
