WITH A MORAL.
Despair and Ruin Were Left In the Track
of the Biithesome Youth.

Despair and Ruin Were Left In the Track
of the Biithesome Youth.
A free and joyous youth, whose wide
eyes looked frankly upon the world,
and who also wore sash and a pink
tie. What secret guilt was on his soul,
that he quailed before the elderly man
who overlook him? Why did his cane.
that he had been dragging harmlessly
behind him, handle down, slide into the
gutter? Why did his breath come in
quick, short gasps, his teeth chatter
and his knees knock together? The
elder was. in appearance, a person OF
wealth, for the quality of his garb be-
spoke it, yet, his attire was recklessly
disordered; it was rent and stained; his
hat, though it bore traces of former
care, was dashed with the filth of the
streets, and the look of grief and pain
showed that he was a man who had
suffered. With firm and impressive
port he bespoke the youths attention.
"Young man." he said, II have
watched your course when you have
not needed me. Be warned! 1t may
be the careless gaiety of your years
rather than wilful crime that you need
to guard against, but, ah remember
that. although You have not yet fallen,
your acts are hurling others to despair
and ruin. 1t is your way ever to lool
forward. You do not hear their groans
their cries, their curses o, reform II
time and cease this evil, or some victim
less lenient than l, may come upon yot
and revenge himself for his catastro
phies by cutting you off in the flower
of your youth. Another repeti
ton of your cffense may bring
| calamity on you and woe upoI
your household. To You the con
sequence Of a misstep seems small, but
ah! think what it means to those abov'
you in years and station, who hav'
families dependent on them, who stan'
high in the social and commercial world
viii you see these brought low, help
lessly, hopelessly, through your act
You weep, it is time Look back ant
realize what you have done"
The young man looked back, for tn
other had got through shaking hin
then. He discovered that eight peopl
had slipped on the banana skins whicl
he had blithesomely strewn over tn
Isidewalk in his march. He fled whel
he saw the ambulance coming.-C.

Testimony differs as to the feeling
of the soldier on going into fight. and
the many experiences related during
the recent encampment by grand army
men. to their always-willing listeners
showed that in their war histories there
was no uniformity of either fear or dar-
ing. The major of New Hampshire
regiment said: II always felt timid
when the shot began to reach us, but
as soon as we got into action was car
ried away by excitement l am not
usually profane man, and I have NO
recollection Of talking roughly to my
troops, yet good many of them have
assured me that all through fight
would swear like-well, like trooper" !"
Another man, . colonel, said: "It's all
nonsense to say that man doesn't feel
afraid at the beginning Of fight and
all through it. OF course he does. He
has reason. Sherman said of Gen. Sum-
uer that he was the only man who grew
bolder as he grew older, but the only
man ever saw who really seemed tO
want to fight, and to enjoy it after he
was in it, was Custer"

TO ExTERMINATE MOSQUITOES.


Deluge Their breeding Grounds with Kero-
sene OH.
A writer on the subject of the ex-
termination of the mosquito tells of an
experiment he made with kerosene a.
the destroying agency in the Catskills.
Noticing few mosquitoes about the
porch Of his cottage he made search
for their breeding-place and found it in
q rain-water pool having surface area
of sixty square feet in the neighbor-
hood. Eggs had been deposited freely
on the water, and it was very plain
that the cottager was destined to be an
noyed by innumerable mosquitoes un-
less a remedy was applied at once. He
determined to try kerosene, and sprin.
killed. four ounces of it over the sur
face Of the pool. At the end of ten
days it was covered with dead insects,
which the writer estimates at 7,4o0.
Most of them were gnats, but there
were 871 female mosquitoes and many
males. The number may appear tri-
fling enough, but ON that score the ex-
perimenter has this to say: NOW the
average number of eggs laid by . fo-
male mosquito is 800, and the destruc-
ton of these s71 specimens prevented
the development of III, 300 individuals
of the next generation. Moreover, GER
tain females hew away after touching
the surface Of the water, and undoubt-
edlv died at some distance from the
pool, So that the ,ffect OF the applicar
ton was even greater than these fig
ures indicate. In fact, the capacity
of the remedy was only limited
by the number of the mosqui.

pool for egg-laying purposes, and
in locality of greater mosquito abun-

of the remedy would have been enor-

expense. This experiment proves that
at this rate of application one barrel OF
kerosene costing four dollars and q
half (and the cheapest Of oil is prefera-
BILE to the more expensive), will sue

square feet of water surface 1t il
probable that there are many mosquito

area Of the breeding place does not ex-
csed this figure, and where at the slight
expense mentioned, provided the appli-
cation be made early in june so as to

During . thunderstorm the air is
of such varying density. that thunder
peals are never heard at a distance cor
responding to their violence. For the
same reason the roar of cannon on .
field of battle is not noticeable. and the
day has often been lost within short
distance of the reserves of the defeated
army, which were waiting for the
sound of artillery to call them to the
scene of action. The air at night is
more homogeneous, and hence sounds
are heard more clearly and farther than
in the daytime. In foggy weather
sounds suffer innumerablc deflections
from the mist and are soon destroyed.
