Am Antlaote for Mosauito. Bites.

The best antidote for the bite of a
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia,
weakened with a little water OF salt
land water. Some people go so far
as to press the poison out of the
bite with some small metal instru-
lment like the point of a watch key
before applying the antidote. This pre-
vents the painful swelling that some
times occurs. AS in other cases, zone
mans meat is another snan's poison, 4"
and the same remedy viii mot apply to
all individuals. Some find camphor
most eficacious, and salt and water will
not avail. Ammonia, however, seems to
be generally successful asia neutralizer
aof the mosquito poison. Where there
are large quantities of mosquitoes and
no reason for their appearance is appar-
ent, it is well to look about, the premises
for something which attracts them. An
uncovered barrel of rainwater will
bring them in hordes, and damp places
g and stagnant pools are spots where they
delight to congregate. Salem Gazette.

Rara BooIss 20 Ne Sold.

For come time past it has been ru-
mored that the famous Althorp library,
which Dibdin called the finest private
collection in the world, was about to be
sold, and now the announcement is
made upon authority. 1t is hoped to
sell it en- bloc, but should that not be
possible it will be put up to auction.
Selling the most famous of the worlds
private libraries in lump can mean
only one thing-selling it to America.
We trust that may not happen, since
Lord Spencer's collection contains many
volumes which it is national pride to
possess4-such, for instance, as the fa-
nous Valdarfar "Boccaccio," which
Lord Blandford wrested from the sec
ond Earl Spencer for e2, ,260,. to be ulti-
mateay bought for Althorp for the baga-
telle'of e750. It will be an epoch MAX
ing sale, for this great library contains
some $4,000 volumes, mostly priceless.
Scarce editions on velluTn and large
paper, magnificent printing and dazzling
bindings by Pasdeloup and Roger Payne
these are its glories Many of the
books, too. have famous histories. They
have felt the touch of the Pompadour
sor of Diane de Poitiers or the elegant
grasp of Francis |. There are eighty
two out of the ninety-nine known pro-
ductions of Caxton, to say nothing of
the famous Mentz s.Psalter," copy of
which has fetched $4,000. To sell the
Althorp library, indeed, is almost as
though we were to sell the rarest rari-
ties of the printed book department of
the British nuseum.-St. James Ca

stutterfng and stasnmering.

Suffering and stammering are terms
that are confounded. They are not
synonymous by any means. Stammer-
ing is an inability to properly enunciate
certain elementary speech words; slut
tering is a vicious utterance, manifested
by frequent repetitions of initial or other
elementary sounds. Both are cansed by
improperly acting muscles of the vocal
chords, soft palate, tongue, cheeks. lips:
etc.
Some OF these muscles are under easy
control of the will. Over the muscles
Of the pharynx, the soft palate and at
the base OF the tongue. which move ats
root upward and downward, our power
is not SO complete, and this causes the
adiction. st. Louis Post Dispatch.

Ball Lightning.

During a severe thunderstorm Mon
day the phenomenon of ball lightning
was seen in this village. An inspection
sof the locality shows that the ball was
located between a telephone wire and a
conductor pipe about threesfeet distant,
and was doubtless of the mature of an
electric brush preceding the disruptive
discharge. 1t was of reddish color and
exploded with report like musket,
5but did no damage, nor was it attended
by any smell perceptible to- those who
saw it, although they were distant not
more than five feet.--Lyons IN. W Cor.

wagner,s Son Coming Here.

Herr Siegfried Wagner, the only son
and heir of the composer, Richard Wag-
ner, and of Frau Cosima daughter OF
the Abbe Liszt), is making the modern
grand tour. Last autumn he visited
England, but letters which have just
arrived state that he is now visiting
japan and China and will return home
to Baireuth via San Francisco. In New
York the adherents of German opera
propose to organize in his honor an inn
portant fete, in which of course his fa-
theirs music will play prominant part.

define 1t for their benefit. A snap conven-
ton Is convention which Is not satisfac-
tory to Mugwumps. q Democratic conven-
ton. convention which dominates Demo-
cratic candidates. a convention ct which
the Mugwumps snap and snarl.
The element OF time has really nothing to
do with the snap Of convention. For in
stance. II the Democratic State Convention
for the election Of delegates to tho Demo-
cratic National Convention were to be held
on May % instead Of Feb. %. It would still
be q snap convention. because 1t would still
elect Democratic and not Mugwump del
egates. The conventions that nominated
Governor HILL in 1885 and 1858 were snap
conventions. for they gave pain TO the
Mugwumps. The Democratic National
Convention will be a snap convention. be-
cause it will nominate Democrat and not
Mugwump.
In other words. any Democratic conven-
ton which Is not Stuffed is snap conven-
ton. The snap Is not in the time. but in
the quality.

Capital Punishment.

The amendment to the Electrical EIecu-
lion law removing Its press.gag feature
was we'll. But 1t was not enough.
Yesterday Mr.. STEIN introduced into the
Assembly bill to complete the good work
by 4bolishing tho law altogether and re-
turning to the old method OF capital pun
ishment by hanging.
The bill ought to pass. At the last execu-
ton by electricity. the killing OF NC
ELvAINn at Sing Sing on Monday.
Il was made evident by the disagreement
among the physicians and experts that
the true and best method OF ad-
ministering the electrical current to
produce death most surely and most
quickly is still a problem to DO solved.
Every execution by this means has been OF
the nature OF an experiment on living men.
horrible and revolving to civilization. Nor
has there been demonstrated any compen-
sailing reduction Of pain to the condemned
- compared with hanging.
The trial OF the new device has not been
successful In any respect. The old method
was much better. As the most disgraceful
method OF death in the opinion Of man
kind, il Is the most effective means OF In
flicting capital punishment. Moreover. 1t
is not novelty. but has been approved by
centuries OF experience. The electrical ex-
ecution Is the recent invention OF few
cranky reiormers hunting around to find
something with which to busy themselves.
Tho Electrical Execution law should DO
expunged from the statute book wholly.
