A Lesson in Natural History.

There. Another mosquito has bitten
me.' exclaimed Mrs. Snaggs, as she
made rapid slap at the insect and only
succeeded in striking the spot where it
had been operating.
81 think you are mistaken" replied
Mr.. Snaggs.
Mistaken? Indeed I'm not! know
a MOSQUITOES bite when / feel one"
That is precisely where you are mis-
taken" Mr.. Snaggs went on. Il know
YOU merely follow colloquial usage in
saying the mosquito bit you, but never
theless usage is wrong. 1t is always
well to be accurate, and in this case 1t Is
not accurate to speak of mosquito S
bite. The mosquitoes operations In search
of food are truly interesting, especially
when he is operating on some other per
sons epidermis. He carries with him a
remarkable kit of tools, consisting of
two saws, lance and a pump. With
the lance puncture is made in the skin,
but the perforation is not wide enough
for the insertion of the pump, which is
to transfer portion of your blood to the
insects stomach. So the saws are in
troduced and they commence to widen
the puncture. 1t is the operation of the
saws which causes the irritation &c
which you allude as bite. You see,
nv dear, how inaccurate it is to talk OF
a mosquitoes bite. Don't your

You irritate me great deal more

what constitutes bite:'
well, there can be no bite without

Then, Mr.. Snaggs," exclaimed hi:

of his saws. Mr.. Snaggs. 1t IS always

The Paddock's island meet was quite
a unique thing to many who attended,
in that the results of some Of the con-
tests depended upon other things than
the mere sailing quality of the canoes OF
the muscles of those who welded the
paddles. Thus in the "huBry skurry"
race the canOeists moored their boats on
a line and were started from the judges
boat, whence they swan some forty
rods to their canoes, climbing III and
padding to the shore, where they land
ed and ran to the finish, point on the
beach. There were also upset" races
and combined sailing and padding
races as well as swimming races. III
fact the list of events was well quail
fed to bring out the superiority of in
dividual members in any Of the varied
attainments upon which .canOeists must
rely when ON a long ,cruise.-Boston

Edward Jones, who owns number OF
pacing horses, made n bet on John l..
Sullivan in the Office of his carriage
company in West Thirty-eighth street
two days before the fight. Directly
afterward r. E. Garden, another horse
man, who is well acquainted with Cor
beta. and who is a business partner OF
Mr.. Jones, proposed a bet on Corbett

proviso that the winner could either
take the money or compel the loser to
ride bareback from the Hotel Normandie

midnight perils are waiting for them.
1t requires bravery to face an army OF
men, but far more bravery to face an
army of Atlantic surges led on by hur-
ricanes.
A more stupendous scene is not TO be
witnessed than that of a ship captain
walking the bridge of a steamer in the
midst of cyclone. Remember those he
roes in your prayers, and when worn out
in the service, and they have to command
inferior craft or return to the land and
90 out of service. do them full honor for
what they once were. Let the ship com
panies award them pensions worthy OF
what they endured until they start on
their last voyage from this world to the
next.
Aye, that voyage we must all take,
landsmen as well as seafarers. Let US
be sure that we have the right pilot, and
the right chart, and the right captain,
and that we start in the right direction.
1t will be TO each of US who love the
Lord a voyage more wonderful for dis
coverv than that which Columbus took,
for after all we have heard about that
other world we know not where it Is or
how it looks, and it will be as new as
San Salvador was to the glorious captain
of the Santa Maria. Eve hath not seen
nor ear heard, neither have entered into
the heart of man." May the light from
that golden beach flash on the darkness,
and we be able to step ashore amid groves
and orchards and arOmas such as this
worlds atmosphere never ripened OF
breathed!
Ave, fellow mariners, over the roHgh
sea of this life, through the fogs and
mists of earth, see you not already the
outline of the better country! Land
ahead! Land ahead! Nearer and nearer
we come to heavenly wharfage. Throw
out the planks and step ashore into the
arms of your kindred, who have beer
waiting and watching for the hour O
| your Decentralization. Through the ricl
| grace of Christ, our Lord, may we al
! have such blissful arrival!

A Novel Invention for Bathing.

A novelty invented by Paris firm for
the benefit of the dilettante bathers at
Trouville is described as couch formed
of a sheet of canvas stretched upon a
very light metal frame, and provided
with a canopy to protect the eyes Of the
occupant from the sun. The bed IS kept
afoat by means of large hollow metal
tubes filled with air. On this 1T IS pos
sible to recline at ease floating upon the

of the contrivance has attracted crowds
of pazers to the window of the shop in
the Faubourg st. Denis, where it is ex-
hibited.-Paris Letter.

A TIMELY COMPARISON.

While the Democratic party is founder
ing around with the silver question ,one fac
ton grabbing at the free coinage idea and
another opposing it, arrangements for
next years international monetary con-
ference are going bravely forward under
the direction Of the present Republican
administration. All the principal foreign
powers have now agreed TO take part in
this great assemblage, the chief object Of
which is to fix the money status OF silver all
over the world. This is the only rational
way of settling the question. The Harri-
son administration, should it accomplish
its purpose in this respect, will have
achieved work that will ndelibly stamp
itself on the worlds history. From all
present indications this conference prom
ises to be eminently successful, and it ia
on this account that, when election day
rolls around, the president will score a
larger majority than ever, in those west.
ern states most directly interested in the
correct solution OF the silver problem.

A MEDOLER'S FATE.

A few days ago Washington telegram
stated that Congressman John G. Otis,
OF the Emporia, Kansas, district, had Of
fered resolution in congress demanding
that the Maxwell grant be reopened for
investigation. This after the supreme
court had passed upon it and all the facts
therein had been investigated time and
again by congress, and the title declared
perfect. By announcement from EN-
poria of the 10th inst, it is noted that Con-
gresham John g. Otis was defeated for
denomination by E. V. Wharson. This
is the certain and swift Justice that always
overtakes meddlers OF the McMains type.

LOOK OUT FOR THE COMING ASSEMBLY

The stockholders of the Wells-Fargo
Express company will receive this year a
very large dividend and that upon largely
watered stock. Part Of the dividend is
wrung from the people and business in
terests of New Mexico by extortionate
and exorbitant express rates. The COM
ing legislative assembly should amend
the tax law so as to compel the money
making and rich express companies to
contribute toward the expense of main
tanning the government, whose protection
they enjoy. This will be done if proper
and just men are elected to the legislative
assembly; if the White Cap element con-
trolls, why then the interests of the peo-
pie will be sold cut as they were in the
lower house of the last legislative assem-
bly,, where the Democratic White Cap
combination had two.thrds majority.

The Optic has put up the Republican

we supposed its experience in running
delegate at the head Of its columns for a
couple of weeks, a few years ago, and
then taking it down and putting up his
opponent, would have made it cautious
Of getting caught again. Perhaps its lat

both parties told it they did not care who
it worked for, has stiffened its backbone.
