According to paper printed in the an

cal Society, the following superstitions are
current in Bengal Shouting the name of
the king of birds, (Garuda) drives away
snakes. Shouting Ram Ram drives away
ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Monday
or Saturday ends fatally, but not cholera
that attacks on Thursday. The Towering
Of bamboos augurs famine. In tanning,
if the fan strike the body it should be
thrice Knocked againstthe ground. When
giving aims the giver and receiver should
not be standing on different sides of the
threshold. If snake is killed, it should
be burned, for it is Brahman. Alright
the words "snake' and "tiger" should not
be used; call them creepers and insects.

Mosquitoes.

The bill of mosquito is a complex in
situation. Ii has a blunt fork at the head,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the angle of the fork, is lance of perfect
form sharpened with fine bevel. Beside
it the most perfect lance looks ike hand
saw. On either side of the lance two saws
are arranged, with the points fine aud sharp
and the teeth well defined and keen The
backs of these saws play against the lance.
When the mosquito alights with his pecu-
liar hum, it thrn-ts its keen lance, and then
enlarges the aperture with the two saws,
which play beside the lance until the
forked bill with its capillary arrangement
for pumping blood can be inserted The
saving process is what CRATES upon the
nerves of the victim and causes him to
strike wildly at the sawyer

One of Bangors oldest physicians, when
driving, the other day, was aceosted by one
of the most charming little children on the
east side, Mamie Weston. The doctor
asked her to get into his carriage and said
he would take her home, and the invitation
was promptly accepted. On the way the
young lady conversed with a sweetness and
childish simplicity which interested the
doctor greatly. As he left her at her home
she looked up at him and said "Now
don't forget to bring me a cunning little
doll Christmas Why should bring you
a doll?" was the surprised reply. "0h, [
know you; you're Santa Claus, said the
child, and she went up the steps with face
wreathed in smiles. The doctor, whose

guished appearance at all times, drove away

saint of the children.-Bdagor Commer-

standing around to watch others doing it.
They evinced no uneasiness at being seen
in the frolic any more than if they had been

There was a genuine can can danced at

about to see that wild arrangement which
no one but Paris cocotte can render with
