Mosquitoes.

Speaking Of mosquitoes" remarked
Herman Reischke, who was over from
Cedar the other day, "reminds me Of
one day came down to the spring
after water. I tied the jack to an old
grind-stone and proceeded to fill up
my kegs, whom l heard a terrible
roaring like distant thunder. In less
time than it takes to tell, a large mos
quito shot by; catching up the burro
nnder one wing and the grind-stone
under the other, be proceeded down
tho wash at lightning speed, stopping
only at intervals to whet up his bill
on the gr!nd-stone and take bite out
OF the burro. What are you laughing
at? You may not think this is 80
but you can ask Carl Schuman and
he'll tell you the same thing, Us he
was with me when it happened. lex

Among types of the Italian army
in 1899, described by General Marriott,
is that of Gen Macard, commanding
division of cavalry. He was one
of those officers raised by hazard and
by their courage, and who while of
real value before the enemy. were
not less incapable, from their want
of instruction, of holding high rank.
This singular persona real Colos-
sus, of extraordinary bravery when
about to make a charge at the head
of the cavalry, was accustomed
s'habiller en- bette, as he called it,
He Invested himself of his coat and
shirt, leaving only bis brooches, his
boots and his plumed hat Thus
naked to the waist he exposed to view
a trunk as hairy as that of bear.
Once equipped en- bette, clenching his
saber, he rushed on the foe, swearing
like a pagan, but he seldom came to
close quarters, for the singular and
terrible sight of this half naked
giant, covered with hair and who
presented himself with yelis, 80 ter
rifed his foes that they flew on all
sides, thinking they had to do with a
wild beast.

THE UNIVERSITY PROJECT

Seldom is young town offered such
an opportunity to secure the establish
ment Of a great institution of learning
as that which is embodied in the prop
osition submitted some months ago to
the people of the Bay cities. The
magnitude of the project and the vast
good which would inevitably result
from the location of great university
in our midst seem to he but dimly APP
preciated by the people. 1t would be
like a powerful magnet, attracting to
us from all parts of the country people
of culture and moderate means, who
desire to establish homes not only
where the climate ministers to health
and the beauties of nature surround
them, but where there are abundant
opportunities for profitable investment
and where their children may enjoy
at home the advantages of higher ed
ucation and the ennobling influences
of association with people who do not
regard the almighty dollar as the only
thing worth striving for here below.
Such an institution as the one proposed
would be one Of the greatest attractions
the city could possibly have. 1t would
be a permanent advertisement of won
derful influence, and a source Of vast
material benefit from the day of the
commencement of work upon the
buildings. The people Of the Bay
cities cannot afford to be indifferent to
such project. The land holders par
ticularly should aid it literally, not
grudgingly, but eagerly, because, if Sc
cured, it cannot fail to be an important
factor in increasing the value of their
property. Don't let it drag. Talk for
it, Work for it. Give for it, We
need it, and if we do not get it it will
be because the quiet, earnest work of
its chief promoter is not supported as it
should be by the people.

Our readers nave doubtless followed

respondence. heavy and lengthy though
II was 1t was IN proper diplomatic
form, and each party TO the controversy
stated its case IN full IN the properest
kind Of language and wound up with as
surances OF distinguished consideration

The correspondence in the CHILEAN af-
fair may however. be contrasted by
those interested in such matters with
batch Of diplomatic writing in which
that sturdy old Revolutionary hero, Gen
eral Israel Putnam figured. Not far
from Peekskill, n Y, is an eminence
called Gallows Hill 1t got its name
during the Revolutionary war from the
fact that young man named Palmer
was hanged there as spy by order of
General Israel Putnam. The gallows
itself was rude structure of logs and
stood till long after the war of the Revo-
luton had ended, Palmer was hand
some, athletic young man, American
born, belonging to a fine family. He
had wife and children in Yorktown at
the very time that he was charged with
being the secret spy Of the British gov
eminent and also with trying to get re-
cruits from his own fellow countrymen
for the British army
A more fragrant crime in the eyes of
odd Put could not have been COM
mitted Palmer was captured, tried
and found guilty and condemned to be
executed Every effort was made to
save him. His wife knelt at the feet Of
that stern old patriot with her babe in
her arms. Sir Henry Clinton himself
sent a flag of truce with letter de-
manding that the prisoner be released,
and threatening vengeance If mis- de-
mand was not complied with.
For reply General Putnam sent to Sir
Henry Clinton the following letter
which may be taken as a model Of the
kind of diplomatic correspondence he
went in for

ENGLAND UNDER PROTECTION

When the commanding position of
England in manufacturing is adduced
as evidence of what free trade has
done, it should not be forgotten that
her supremacy in this respect was at
tanned through stringent protection
to all her industries, says an eastern
paper. Take the linen manufacture
for example. From an old book
printed in Edinburgh in 1888, entitled
IA Collection Of the Acts of Parliament
Now in Force Relating to the Linen
Manufacture, I'VE learn that a royal
bounty of penny a yard was paid on
English and Irish linens valued from
Cd. to I'D. yard by act Of parliament
in 1743.
In l74S British subjects were pro-
hibited from importing or wearing
foreign cambrics and French lawns
under penalty Of fine of e5 for each
ofiense. The same penalty applied to
those selling or offering for sale the for
eign fabrics. In 1869 additional
duties from a farthing to ID. per
ell were levied on foreign linens, and a
penny yard was added Oh Holland
white lawn. 1t was further provided
that el5,000 per anuum should be de-
voted from the revenues derived from
these duties, to be paid in bounties, for
the encouragement Of raising and dress
ing hemp and fax in the kingdom.
This is only one instance out Of hun
dreds recorded on England's statute
books. In short, the United States
never had anything like the prohibitive
duties under whose shelter Great
Britain's great industries took root,
iourished and attained maturity. 1t
was under protection that England be-
came supreme in manufacturing.
Since she adopted free trade she has re-
linquished the palm to her protected
American rival.

Ulm is famous for having wit
messed one of the most extensive and
disgraceful suTrenders in this cen
tury-a century, by the way, partic-
ularly marked by great surrenders.
On the goth of October, 1906, the no
torious Austrian commander Mack,
followed by sixteen generals and &c.
600 men, marched out as prisoners
of Napoleon, who had on this occa-
sion routed, killed or taken prisoner
10000 men, with a loss to himself of
scarcely 1,5O0. 1t was, l believe, in
consequence Of the number of prison
ers taken by the French in this cam

adopted the plan Of distributing them

France, in order to make up for the
