Colonial days now in possession of Mrs.

WhY n MOSOuitO Rite Hurts

Humboldt, who was a firm believer in
the poisonous nature of the mosquito
bite, considered the sucking out of the
poison to be the explanation of the pain
lessness of some wounds. He affirmed
that if the insect were allowed to suck
to safety no swelling took place, and
no pain was left behind, and considered
that when pain was produced it resulted
from the hasty interruption of the proc
ess of sucking, since then the last in
fused poison would not be able to be
Withdrawn. He experimental with one
of the most virulent species, allowing it
gently to settle on the back of his hand,
and reports of it:
81 observed that the pain, though vio-
lent in the beginning, diminishes in pro-
portion as the insect continues to suck.
and ceases altogether when it volunta-
rily flies away."-Knowledge.

When Animals Are "Charmed,"

Kahn mentions having seen a rattle
snake 'lying at the bottom of a tree on
which a squirrel was seated, fixing its
eyes on the little animal, which from
that moment cannot move or escape, but
begins a doleful outcry, comes toward
the snake, runs a little bit away, comes
nearer, and finally is swallowed" But,
as If to show that this result of Devil
derment is not all to be put down tc
the eye alone, DR.. Andrew Smith says:
81 have heard of cases in which ante
lopes and other quadrupeds have been
SO bewildered by the sudden appearance
of crocodiles, by the grimaces and con-
tortlons they practiced, as to be unable
to fly or move from the spot toward
which the crocodiles We're approaching
to seize them"

Where Steel Is Made.

The general aspect of the interior Of a
converting house at night is at once
startling and grandly impressive. Here
heat, fame and liquid metal are ever
present; locomotives whistle and puff,
dragging with clatter and clang huge
ladies Of molten iron; the lurid light,
flashing and flaming, that Eliminates
the scene, throws shadows so intensely
black that they suggest the "black fire"
of Milton, for in such a place it is i'm
possible for a shadow to be cool: half
naked, muscular men, begrimed with
sweat and dust, fit about; clouds of
steam arise from attempts to cool in
some degree the roasting earth of the
floor; cOnverters roar, vibrate anu vomit
flames mingled with splashes Of metal
from their white hot threats; at inter
walls the scorching air is filled with a
rain of coruscating burning iron.
IngOt mOlds lift mouths parched with
a thirst that a only be appeased for a
short time by streams of liquid steel that
run gurgling into them; the stalwart
cranes rise, swing and fall, loading scores
of tons Of red hot steel upon cars of iron;
all these conditions and circumstances
combine to make an igneous total more
suggestive of the realms Of Pluto than
any other in the whole range of metal
lurgic arts.-W. F. Durfee in Popular
Science Monthly.

The Ancient SchooI,naster.

A roll measuring about fifteen feet
long, containing poems hitherto I'M
known of Herodius in Seazon or cho-
hambic meter, has just been exhibited
in the manuscript department of the
British museum. One of the poems is
entitled THE Schoolmaster." A mother
appears before the master called Lam
priscus. She is accompanied by her son,
and entreats the pedagogue to fog him
within an inch of his life because the
boy is the terror Of her existence. He
has nearly ruined her by playing pitch
and toss, he associates with the lowest
characters of the town, and if he is
asked to spell the name Of Maron he
turns it into Simon: in fact, he has en-
tirely got beyond the control of his par
ants. Lampriscus therefore fetches his
instrument Of correction, which is made
Of coWhide, and applies it without
mercy. The boy bowls and promises to
be good, and when the schoolmaster
thinks that the youth has had enough
ne tells the mother to keep him a close
prisoner for some time to come.-Man-

About

In placing your furnace in your new
house, always remember that lateral
pipes give out much heat. The
hot air must invariably ascend to pro-
iuce a current, and therefore we see
very often a register in the third story
giving out splendid heat, when in the
extension library, where warmth is par
sicularly desired, the air of the room is
hardly affected at all. In a large coun-
try house it would really be better to
have two small furnaces rather than
one large one. Less coal would be
ased to more purpose, and they would
not be much more troublesome to tend
;han is one. But if you have two, do
1ot make the mistake of putting them
side by side, as was done in a very large
house near New York. This simply in
Eensified the heat in the same part of the
house without carrying it into the wings.

But she says philosophically: 81 am

Things Money Cannot Buy.

How much the happiness Of individual
! lives is made up of priceless things, I'M
salable in the coin Of the land, yet found
quickly when the heart of the searcher
honestly desires them! Many of these
real treasures are qualities that simply
difuse themselves through the moral
and mental atmosphere, and are some
times little valued, because they seem
too vaporous and too Elusive to be prac-
tically grasped; but they are genuine
possessions and won by heart service.
Who does not rejoice to have an hon
orable name-not necessarily a distin-
guished name, but a clean one? Truly,
pride in such an inheritance, which can
not be bought, is j~ustifiable if with it
there are mingled a feeling of humility
and a desire to do ones own part to
transmit the name as unsullied az it has
been bestowed. What makes home love
dearer and sweeter than all else, and
treasured while life lasts: Not the tables
and chairs, not the delicacy Of porcelain
or the aesthetic beauty which the loom
achieves.
These minister to the comfort, taste
and artistic nature; but beyond these
there is something which ministers to
the heart and soul, clarifying plain sur
roundings and homely details-some-
thing illrsive to Measure or weight, yet
potent to guide, to comfort and to help.
What is this but the sympathy, the
trust, the spirit of sacrifice, the gentle
ness, the faith, the readiness to do and
to bear, which, blended together, make
the chain that binds US to our homes?-

THE Clarendon Traveller actually
assumes to believe that the 20 votes
cast for the regular republican candl-
date and the 49s votes cast for the in
dependent republican candidate rep
resent the republican strength of
Dallas; while the 3,571 votes for the
democratic nominee, and the 4,377
votes for the Independent democratic
candidate represent the regular DEM
ocratic strength. What can be said
in the face of such stupidity but
simply nothing? The man who be-
lieyes that Dallas has twenty demo-
ocratic votes to one republican vote is
by nature incapacitated from judging
of the relation OF things.

THE Waco News sees very little
promise of good to the democratic
party from the alliance, judging from
this lugubrious deliverance:
"The leaders of the alliance may
cause the defeat of the democratic
party in 1893, and they may be the
cause of democracy losing several
southern states and they doubtless
will, unless they change their course,
but they will then only prove
themselves what the News has
branded them-the greatest enemies
of democracy: The News does not
believe this is the object of the lead
ers, but it may be one of the results
of their foolish wisdom.
Does the News mean that the Alli-
ance would gladly aid the democracy
in the coming campaign but does not
know how? The object is not to hurt
the democracy, but the end is injury.
