The sSUsouitO's Poison Glands.


 The bloodthirstv musquito is not ma- levolcnt, as he is commonly described. if we may accept the investigations of Professor George MacLoskie. He has been able. by staining and dissection to show that the poison gland is one of three minute glands (he others being ordinary salivary glands) on each side of the head, and connected with a minute duct which traverses the length of the long pointed piercer which forms an i'm portant portion of the mouth parts of the musGuito. The writer maintains that this fluid is intended mainly to prevent the coagulation of the proteids of plants which tho animal sucks from the tissues, and that its poisonous effect upon other animals is only secondary. If so, it would perhaps follow that it is not in troduced into the human flesh as poison. It is difficult to sec what purpose the ir- ritating effect of the bite upon other animals can serve the musquito. since it must make the chance of it's getting nourishment from the blood of other animals many times less than it other wise would be. It may Le worthy of in- quiry whether the irritating effect IS not Incidental and perhaps only occasional, and duo to other causes than the fluid which seems, by analogy, to have an- other distinct purpose.-St. Louis Re public

Few of the people who see Lotta kick ing her heels and playing all the tricks of little girl on the stage. would place her age at the correct figure. This little mite of body doesn't look it, but she was born in Nassau street, Nov. 27. 1S4G. Her father, John Ashwortil Crabtvce, was an Englishman, and kept book store, which he abandoned to go to Cali fornia during the gold craze of '49. Lotta has been on the stage since 1858, and she is credited with the largest pile of dollars of any woman in the profession, the greater part of which she owes to her mothers business shrewdaess. - New York Press.

Initiative Eaters.

Did you ever notice how strong the mimetic faculty of human nature is, how prone to follow an imitable example in some things? I have noticed and watched it for several years while i'll this business. A regular patron will come into the restaurant, and not until he is asked what he wants does he give the matter a single thought. He picks up the bill of fare. It is old to him. He has seen it before, and it does not con- tain or suggest a single thing he thinks he would like. He turns to the waiter, and tells him to bring out something good to eat. The waiter does so, and what is set before the patron is some thing he did not think of, and he cats it with relish. Other customers come in, and, like the first, they do not know what they want. They cast their eyes about and sec what the other is eating, and orders the same. This is rule, and if you watch you will notice it. No matter what the first one is eating. It might be piece of pastry or a large meal, but the sight of it arouses the ap- petite of the others who come in later and u want the same

 Al through the noon no least leaf stirred, But cricsets hummed and beetles whirred- Now comes breath of fresh, sweet wind From silent pools and sedges All through hot noon the reapers stand And toll, with jests and laughter,
 Beneath tho blazing skies that burn. Then. laughing still they homeward turn By th:'ce:s and fou-a: and hand in hand Go two that finger after And here we finger, hand in hand, And watch the blackcning shadows.
 Had we been born to reap and SOW. To wake when swallows stir, cnd so Forth a chill dawn to blow r..e land, Or now the misty meadows, Had that been robcr? Love of mine, We still had only strven.

Among the number was ono whom it will not be difficult to recognize and who is described as ''the daughter of an American inventor who has since be- come the wife of an Ital.an premier" Several others arc mentioned, including an actress or two and other women, an alliance with whom would not have been particularly cre<litab..-San Francisco Chronicle

Not Desirable for Suicides.

The Eiffel tower is such a blot on the artistic beauty of Paris that it offers no temptation to the would be suicide as jumping off place. The true Parisian is nothing if not consistent ill his art in- stincts. To throw ones self from the top of the Arc de Triomphe is one thing; to plunge headlong from structure so de void of beauty as the Eiffel tower is quite another matter. The authorities need nave no fear that this eighth wonder of the world will be utilized for any such purpose.-Boston Herald.

BEE. The vacant position on the supreme
bench is just now the absorbing object of in-
terest to a great many Iowa lawyers Judge
Reed who is to represent the Council Bluffs
district in congress for the next two years,
has stepped down from the bench instead of
up from it, as some might suppose. The gov
ernor is now busy in looking over letters of
application, recommendations, petitions, etc.
He says he has a basket full of recommends
tions pertaining to twelve distinct candi-
dates He will spend some days in cxamin-
ing their papers, and then will make the APP
pontment. 1t is believed in this vicinity
that Judge Given, of the district bench of this
city, is almost certain to receive the appoint
ment. He was the leading candidate for the
nomination at the last state convention, next
to Judge Granger, who was nominated. He
is very popular in Grand Army circles, and
is well known all over the state, having been
a candidate for the nomination OF governor

CliTort,'S Crime.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Feb. Especial
to THE BEE. Edwin Clifford, the actor who
died at Hastings last Thursday, had ii little
story connected with his life that was not
generally known. even among his friends.
The story is told by Miss Jessie Crisp, an ac-
tress who has been in the city. Miss Crisp
secured Clifford his first theatrical engage
ment, nearly twenty-five years ago, and fin
ally brought him to Mobile, Ala, to play in a
theater of which Miss Crsp's father was
manager and proprietor. The lady had u
sister Celia who had married a confederate
officer Captain w. Mobley, a wealthy planter.
The latter and Clifford, whose right name
was Acker, became the warmest of friends.
During the performance of a play at Mobile,
Clifford entered the box Office drunk, end
used insulting language to the managers
wife. Moblcy overhearlng tn c remarks con-
fronted Clifford and asked him to apologize
to the lady, but instead of complying Clifford
drew n revolver and fired four shots into
Mobeys body, from which he die d the next
day. The revolver with which the shooting
was done was present from the murdered
man. Clifford was arrested. but at the re-
quest of the victim was given his liberty, and
he left the city and has not been seen by the
injured family since that day. The murdered
man was brothcr-in-law to Congressman
Crisp, of Georgia, and an only son of Mobley
is at present clerk to the congressman.
The widow afterwards married Edwin Stew

The Oil ts All Rjpht.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb 17.-[Special to The
nGE.l-A great many complaints have been
made to the state board of health about the
quality of kerosene offered for sale and
about the trouble TO make lamps burn prop
erly. Assistant Secretary Andrews, who
has made a study of such matters, became
satisfied that the trouble Is not with the oil,
for every gill in use in the state is carefully
inspected. He has come to the conclusion
that the trouble is with the wicks and burn
ers rather than with the oil. For several
days he has had collection of ali kinds of
wicks and burners in his office, and has been
carefully testing them. In his opinion Iowa
has the best oil of any state in the union, be-
cause of its rigid inspection of all kerosene
offered for sale in the state. He finds that
oil of high test often burns badly because
Its great specific gravity resists the capillary
attraction and prevents it from rising in
the wick. He holds that such oil should be
used in lamps with reservoirs, above the
light so that the specific gravity helps rather
than hnders its burning AS soon as his in
vcstgations are COMPLETED he will publish
the results in pamphlet for general distri-
button.
