TRY IT.
They Say a Mosquito Can't Let Go
While You Hold Your Breath
From the Washington Star.


From the Washington Star.
Three or four men were sitting on the piazza
Of a seaside cottage, smoking. 1t was evening
The stars were as thick in the sky as freckles
on a red headed girls face. The waves came
in on the beach with a swish-swash-swosh just
as they have done ever since the second day Of
the creation.
More piercing than the song Of the waves
were the notes and more multitudinous than
the stars OF heaven the number of the mosqui-
toes that haunted tnat piazza. and every one Of
them was looking for blood" The men had
ceased smoking for fun. They now pulled their
cigars keep the mosquitoes away.
Something funny ABOUT mosquitoes, said
one, rather absent mind.dly.
y e., rather, - was the drawing reply
Funny how much blood IL takes to fill one of
them up
No, but honest. now; do you know that if
mosqmtO'd get his bill down into your hand
he cal 6 pull it out while you mold your
oreath?'
Don't believe it,
1t is true, howevsr, for have tried it,"
= Bet you the cigars MOSQUITO can take his
bill out at any time he wants to do it, and We
Will try 1t right here. Is it a go?"
1t is, and I'll let them try"
A lamp was lighted, the cigars put out, and
all waited In less than mute a mosquito
had placed himself on Toms hand and begun
operations.
Now. said Tom, and paced the forefiager
or ms other hand down close to the mosquito.
IL dld not bulge He placed his nail against
the abdomen Of the insect and whirled it around.
Still it remained fixed
You can do it every time " said Tom, as he
killed tue mosquito and drew long breath.
II Is fact. Go and try il.

The Flood Cure for Badness.
From the Kansas Citv Times

In letter received yesterday by Dr. NJ. Mar.
bury, residing at the corner of independence
avenue and Locust street. this city, Is related an
incldent which Is Indeed marvellous, and, com
ing directly as it does is beyond ali doubt true
The letter is from Frank Marbury. a cousin of
Dr.. MarbIry, who is just recovering from a
frlg ltful experience in the JohnstoWn foo /
For seven long hours he battled with the waters
for his life Eve Y hour seemed II day, but at
last he was rescued several miles from the place
where tn hotel mad stood
The strange part of tle story is yet to come
Mr.. MarbIry is 80 years of age, aud for twelve
years he had been entirely bald, au1 the top OF
mis- head had become quite popular with the
flies as a summer resort He had used the
wonderful hair restoratives people read about
in tn hopes of starting the hair, but all TO no

the flood he noticed downy substance all over
the hitherto bald head. As time passed the

It begins 10 look as If Tampa, Fla, would
be a great port at no very distant daT. Sac
has some energetic and wiie-awake citizens
who have magaifcelt schemes in view for
utilizing her advart lges. These schemes
are feasible. and the prospect is that they
VIII be carried out successfully.
The MORNING News called attention
some days ago to the presence T q delega-
ton Of Chicago merchant, in Tampa. The
purpose of the delegation was 10 examine
Tampa harbor with the view Of making
Tampa the terminal point for vessels en-
gag.d in trade between this country aud
Central and South America and West
India
The harb5r was found to be fully up 70 the
descriptions of it. 1t will now accomno-
date vessels drawing twelty-six fee. OF
water, and the dredging and other improve
ments contemplated will give a cha e.
from the SEA u Tampa's wharves 4 hirty-
five feet in d 9TH No greater depth than
that would be- needed TO accommodate the
largest ships afoat.
The members Of the Chicago delegation g,
which W IS composed Of leading business
men Of that city who represented the board
of trade and the produce, lumber and m
merclal exchanges, have, since their return
home, given their impressions Of what they
saw to their local journals. They were not
only pleased bat astonished. They did not
expect TO see such a thriving place as
Tampa, and did not know tlat there vas
such a magnificent harbor on the Gulf
coast as that Of Tampa They intend to
urge their respective exchanges t. indorse
and push e schemes which Tampa's enter
prising citizens have in view.
There are reasons for thinking that
Tampa has great future With the help
of Chicago she can get from congress an
appropriation sufficient to make her harb IT
one of the finest in the world She will
have pretty direct raj road communication
with Chcag }, and, therefore, with all the
great cities of the west and northwest
The trade she pro joses t. open with Cen
trail and South America and West India
will reach enormou, proportions if properly
handled TIE fruit trade Is, in itself, a
great one, and fruit from Central America
can be c.rried to the western cites by way
of Tampa at least six days sooner than by
way OF NeN York.
Within a very few years Tampa has
grown from a village of about 800 inhabi-
tants to a town of 1900 or 1900 She
viii soon have one of the finest no els in the
world, and her cigar factories are ALREADY
famous. She certainly has bright future

Fighting for Principle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Men sometimes fight for principle but oftener
for interest The Scotchman NAV not mind
spending or giving away money, but he will ex-
act the last bawbee of his due. There were two
farmers once met to settle an account The
amount was about $50, but there was an odd
penny.
''Weel here's the money, and I'm muckle
obleeged tae ye."
Thank ye. I'm thinkin' that's no RIGHT.
tho"
What's no RIGHT"
There's penny here We owe me-"
That's o nae consequence
I'm thInkin 1t is"
"Weel, I'll no payt."
"Weel, We wull payt."
"Tll no..
And so the dispute went on till they fell to
blows and had regular set-to. A friend came
up and separated them, but the man who
claimed the money was badly scratched.
What's the matter -
ITS penny"
That's a right" said the injured man. ''I'u
say nae mair ab OF the penny. wud ma mind
the hckin', but that lm penny'll cost me sax

SAVANNAH OF TODAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re-
view, containing a complete and compre-
heusive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be a
memorable one the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
and that her citizens, judgi.g from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future.
They have proven by the various local i'm
active interest they have manifested III
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confdea ce
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
aud her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word Savannah OF
to-day" In a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at q
glance, it will be seen what ha:
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the business of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah i.
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review viii be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business men an opportun-
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, a;
we'll as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re-
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired TO distribute $4,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as ne have reason TO believe 1t
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
Office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvaSsers.

Mr.. Thebe, who contested ex-Speaker
Carlisle's seat in congress a few years ago,
has been trying to get the Harrison admin
lstration to give him an office, bat thus far
1t has given him nothing but the cold SD ul-
der. He applied for several positions, com
Ing down a notch or two in his aspirations
with each application, and each time the
President sat upon him. Now he wants to
be sergeant-at-arms of the House. He
poses as the labor candidate for that office.
1t is probable that the republicans haven't
as much love for him as they professed to
have when they were using him to irritate
Mr. Carlisle.

a Baby Hand.
From the ChLcaao Jolirrc

From the Chicago Journal
Big time tonight" the drummers said,
AS to supper they sat them down;
"Io-morroSs Sunday, and now's our chanC
To illuminate the town"
''GootN' cries Bill Barnes, the jolliest-
The favorite of all:
y es; let's forget our trouble now
And hold high carnival"
The supper done, the mail arrives;
Eacn man his letters scanning,
With fresh quotations up or down
his busy brain is examining.
But Bill-why what's come over him
why turned 50 quick about?
de says just as his pards start forth,
Il guess won't go out"
His letter bore no written word,
No prayer from vice To fee:
Only a tracing of hand
A baby hand-of three
What picture comes before his mind
what does his memory paint?
ba0y at her mothers knee
Ills little White-rObed saint.
What cares man for rdcule
VINO wins victory grand?
Bin slept in peace, his brow was smoothed
BY sha 4owy little hand.
Naught like the weak things of this world
The power of sin withstands:
NO shleid between mans soul and wrong
Like little baby hand

Girls Reared in Cages.
From the Baltimore 4n,oricon


United States Consul Griffin, stationed ar
Sydney, n, 5. W. tells of a remarkable custom
OF the inhabitants of New Britain. as follows:
The inhabitants, it is said by Wallace, have a
peculiar custom of cJntining their girls in cages
until they are old enough to be married This
custom is said to be peculiar to the people of
New Britain. The cages are made of the palm
tree, and the girls are put into them when or
years of age. The Rev. George Brown estab-
lished a Wesleyan mission in New Britain in
1876, aud learn from him that these cages are
built inside of the houses and that the girls are
peyer allowed to leave the houses under anv
circumstances. The houses are closely faced in
with a sort of wicker work made of reeds.
Ventilation under the circumstances is rendered
difficult The girls are said to grow UP strong
and healthful in spite of these disadvantages s

Hon. Abra am Hewitt returned to New
York from Europe lay or two ago, and
the reporters who talked with him say tn t
he was so aggressive that they were led to
think that he had been trying the effec of
DR.. Brown-Ssquard's life giving tonic
Mr.. Hewitt was asked about the proposed
1892 exposition, as he has had a great al
to do with exposiuons, and has made a
pretty careful study OF the Paris exposi-
ton.
He said it ought TO be decided at once
whether we propose to have an international
exposition or only one of the three Americas
He thought it would be a great mistake to
attempt an international exposition in view
of the fact that the Republican party
is in the ascendency and believes in
building wall arouI ID tle country, as it
were, in the shape Of high protective tar fl
to kee1 foreign goods out Of our market
Il 1876 there was prospect that the
tariff ould soon be reduced, and foreig
exhibitors flocked to our exposition tina
year with the hope that in the We Y near
future their goods could be sold in this
country. They VIII have no such hope at
the 1892 exposition.
1t is true that the present tariff is against
an interna ional exposition, but it is quite
safe to say that if the exposition is made
national in its character foreign exhibitors
will be well represen ed in it.
The three Americas could get up a very
fine exposition, but it would not command
so much attention as one in which all the
nations participated. Mr.. Hewitt is a
member of one of the committees to have
the exposition located at Now York, and he
can be depended upon to work just as hard
for it as il he knew the tariff would be re-
duced before the date fixed for it.
