1t will be new to many readers that
the mosquito is now firmly established
in London. Ii is to be found III GER
tain large hotels which are the resort
of visitors coming from the continent,
and the supply seems to be maintained
by constant importations from abroad.
Visitors who are familiar with the noise
and bite of the mosquito assert that it
is the true pest in its worst form, and
there is no reason for doubling their
experiences.

In the Chronicle Fire Tables for the
present year will be found some STA
tistics of unusual interest. Fire de-
stroyed in 1890 in the United States,
S109, 900, 900 worth of property; in
1891, not less than S144, 900, 900, and
in 1892, the round sum of 1852, 900, 900
went up in smoke. The fire loss in
this country passed the 800, 600, 900
limit IN 1888, and it has increased
nearly every year. The insurance
men are shaking their heads ominously
over these figures. They know that
they will have to advance rates, but
they dread the opposition of the peo-
pie and the newspapers. 'It is a very
serious problem-this matter of fire
waste" observes the Atlanta Constitu-
lion. "In the past seventeen years
nearly seventeen hundred million dol
lars worth of property has been re-
duced to ashes Georgis's loss for this
period foots up over S32, 900, 900.
Now, what are we going to do about
IL? At one time il was thought that
incendiarism cut big figure in all
these losses, but it Is now agreed that
the main cause is to be found in the
notorious fact that there is a craze for
cheap and hastily constructed build-
ings, with defective fues and other
drawbacks increasing the risk OF FIRE.
The way to counteract this evil in
cities and towns is to heve q rigid sys-
tenn Of inspection that viii prevent
the erection of such dangerous build
ings. Out in the country it will be q
matter largely under the control of
each individual house owner. We
need reform that will give Us better
buildings, even il we have fewer houses
Between the fire demon and the storm
king the average edifce of lathes,
plaster, paint aud glass has few
chances of escape.

Remarkable Instances Of AntIpathy.

Amatus Lesitanus relates the case Of
monk who would faint on seeing n
rose and who never quilted his cell nj
the monastery while that flower was
blooming Orfila, less questionable
authority, tells us of how Vincent, the
great painter, would swoon upon go
ing suddenly into a room in which
roses were blooming, even though he
did not sec them. Valtaid tells OF an
army officer who was frequently thrown
into violent convulsions by coming in
contact with the little flower known AZ
the pink Orfila, our authority on the
case OF Vincent, the painter above re-
lated, also tells Of the case OF lady
forty-six years OF age, hale and hearty,
who IL present when linseed was being
boiled for any purpose, would be seized
with violent fits OF coughing, swelling
Of the face and partial loss OF reason
for the ensuing twenty-four hours.
Writing OF these peculiar antipathies
and ayersions, Montague remarks that
he has known men OF undoubted cour-
age who would much rather face
shower or cannon balls than 10 look at
an apple In Zimmerman's writings
there is an account Of "A lady who could
not bear 10 touch either silk or satin
and who would almost faint if by ac-
cident she should happen 10 touch the
velyety skin Of peach. Boyle re-
cords the case Of man who would faint
upon hearing the "swish" OF broom
across the floor, and Of another with "a
natural adherence for honey. Hippo
crates Of old tells OF one Nicanor who
would always swoon ut hearing the
sound Of flute. Bacon, the great
Englishman, could not bear TO see
lunar eclipse and always completely
collapsed upon such occasions, and
Vaughelm, the great German sports
man, who had killed hundreds Of wild
boars, would faint il he but got a
glimpse Of a roasted pig. --Philadel-

A resident Of Fort Scott. Kan. "

A resident OF Fort Scott, Kan, who
was passenger on train that was
recently stopped and pillaged by rob-
bers, has written letter TO the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas Railroad
managers suggesting means for put
ting a stop to the work of desperadoes
on the railroads. After observing that
the robbers were not only poorly or
ganized, but seemed very apprehen-
sive of the results of their crime TO
themselves, those guarding the pas
senger cars continually calling out to
their companions in the express car
to hasten matters, the writer says: "My
observation leads me to the conclu-
sion that if your company will run a
twenty-four-inch strip of boiler iron
around the bodies just below the win
dows of your cars, put four or five
Winchesters in each car just above the
windows in glass covered boxes, just as
you do axes and saws, marked 'For
emergencies, post up notices in each
car offering a reward, in advance, of
say $500 or $500 piece for fresh
dead train robbers, think you will
see the meekness and apathy of the
ordinary to-be-robbed passenger dis
appear, and the American public will
take care not only of itself, but of any
stray robbers caught in the act along
the line of the Missouri, KanJas and
Texas" another device to prevent
the success OF train robbers has been
invented by the Western Passenger
Agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Road at st. Louis His plan is very
simple and provides for equipping
every safe with two locks which inter-
lock with each other, and notice
pasted on the outside of the safe for
the especial benefit cf the robber.
The locks, fo- convenience of descrip-
tion, are called "Lock No. 1" and
'Lock No. g" and the notice reads as
follows: Notice. In case of assault
by robbers, throw the combination of
lock No. 2. This safe can then be
opened only by the agent at the ter
minal station" The messenger knows
the combination of lock No. /, or has
key to unlock it, but he does not know
the combination of lock No. 2, and il
be once throws of the combination of
lock No. 2, it is utterly impossible fof
him to unlock and open the safe, and
the painted notice on the safe door
will spprise the train robbers Of tho
fact. At the first intimation Of trou-
bic the messengers orders will require
that he at once throw of the combina-
tion Of lock No. 2, when the safe is at
once locked, not only against the rob
bers, but against the messenger aud
every one except the agent at the end

old Daoust was dead and therefore
could not come.
Millette put the heavy trunk on a
truck-sleigh and began to tEot along
the wooden wharf. Then, when Mil
lette paused for breath, Greene pushed
the old man aside and took hold OF the
truck. "Say, Millette, I'll wheel this
up for fifty cents for you," he said.
Millette ran painting alongside.
"Ah-h re drole monsieur. will pro-
vide for ze christening.
Greene stopped short "What,
another |" he said in pretended amaze
ment. "How many?" he asked,
briefly.
''Twenty-seven," rejoined Millette,
with ill-dissembled pride.
Greene stopped again and carefully
counted out twenty-seven cents
'Here's cent each for your children,
Millette. Don't stand still any longer
or you'll get frost-bitten. / dare not
run the risk of having to provide for
twenty-seven orphans"
Millette took the money with pro-
fuse thanks and hurried off, leaving
Greene TO go on to Labelle's hotel
with the huge truck sleigh. BY the
time Jasper reached the Postoffice a
procession gradually formed on the
sidewalk TO welcome him back TO Mon
tresl. When Lily Labelle saw him
she came out and promptly gave the
children holiday for the rest of the
day. Then she joined him at the head
of the procession. When they reached
the veranda the children gave three
cheers for Jasper and called for a
speech.
He waited for the crowd to disperse
before he approached Lily, who stood
leaning against the veranda, an amused
look in her dark eyes.
care you glad to see me?" he asked.
"Come in to dinner" she said.
'T'll answer your questions-some of
them-afterward.
Mrs. Labelle greeted him with a
kiss on both cheeks, while her hus-
band bowed with grave politeness.
Lilly seated herself at the upper
table Jasper at once took possession
of Lily and held his prize ag.inst all
corners, especially the cashier OF the
-Four Corners Bank. The latter was
not easily disconnected, but prepared

Miller, the cashier, asked her to go

The cashier, without waiting for n
reply, went angrily out.

"Why arc you week before your

Nothing shall make me marry him.
I'd rather go to the bottom of the
river with you"
AS they neared Hawkesbury tho
chestnut steadily gained. Jasper had
succeeded in pulling tho old black
back into his gait and began to
whistle. Suddenly he turned pale.
"How far's that fellow behind, Lip"
he asked.
Forty yards" said Lii, in an
agony.
Jasper spoke quite lightly. 'Iil,"
he said, ''did you mean you'd rather
go To the bottom of the river with mo
than let that fellow catch up?"
"Yes," said Lii, without hesitation.
"What do You mean, Jasper"
This" said Jasper; 'I forgot the
spring thaw. Three hundred yards
ahead of MS the rivers split right
across Shall l pull upp"
Lily stood up in the sleigh and
looked round. She gave little shud-
der and laid her hand on Jasper's arm.
"Go ON, Jasper" she said; "Tll
risk il.
Jasper looked down for moment into
her white face. '1'll pull up II you
wish. Lii. Twill he too late directly" :"
"No, Jasper, deserve il. Go on,
and-and tiff it's TO be good-by--"
She kissed him.
"Hold tight, said Jasper, begin

lii held tight TO the side of the
sleigh in m agony of grief. Then he
lifted the black To the leap, gave one
cruel slash with the whip, there was n
crash of breaking ice as the sleigh
struck ON the other side, n stagger
from the black. A convulsive pull and
they were over and twenty yards be-
yond the widening chasm, with the
frightened cashier pulling up on it's
brink.
When Lily recovered consciousness
she found herself in the manse parlors
at Hawkesbury.
"Are you all right, Lip" asked JAS
per, cheerily.
She clung To him and hid her face
in his breast.
"Was il all dreamp"

his pocket.

To expect us this afternoon. Now,
Mrs. Watson, she's all ready"
An hour later tho funeral black
crawled lazily back. Half way they
met the cashier, his chestnut nearly
founderod and scarce able TO stand.
Thank Godi" he cried, as they
came in sight 81 thought you were

"N-no," said Jasper, touching up
the old black. ''N-no, was just Civ

The seeming strange suggestion is
made and strongly pressed in England
that the men who man the navy should
be taught how TO swim. Ordinary
sailors are instructed and expected TO
qualify in swimming, but the marines,
firemen and engineers are not, and it
is fact, declares the New York Sun,
that large portion of the latter large
body of men who serve on war ships
cannot swim. 1t is said that many
more men would have been saved from
the Victoria but for :his fact; also
that many sailors who were good
swimmers were undoubtedly dragged
down by the men who were not. The
matter has been taken up in Parlia-
ment, and it is probable that swim
ming will be insisted on as part of
the training of every man serving
aboard ship.

The statistics furnished by the Sec
retary of the Treasury about the inn
portation of drugs into the United
States are somewhat startling TO the
New York World. 1t appears that the
Nation disposed of 1892, 437 pounds
of nux vomlca, but whether for tonical
purposes or for impaired digestion or
to kill dogs, these being among the
various uses to which the drug is put,
is matter of conjecture. The impor-
tation of 2, 1856, ,677 ounces of sulphate
of quinine indicates that malaria still
racks the bones of Americans, and the
presence of 5s7, 121 pounds of opium
on the list excites a suspicion about
the increase of the morphine habit.

The war of tariffs now fairly on be-
tween Germany and Russia is no doubt
due TO more than one cause. Tradi-
tional enmity and jealousy have doubt
less had good deal to do with it on
either side. Then there have been
some Indications that Russia, through
negotiations with Austria, has been
trying to put Germany in a position
of commercial isolation, and this the
German rulers have resented. They
have had the further political motive
of gratifying the members of the
Agrarian Party in the border prov
inces, and so making sure of needed
votes to pass the Army bill Judging
by the figures of Russo-German trade,
the New York Post predicts Russian
exports are likely to suffer more than
German from the mutual application
of maximum tariffs. Russian exports
to Germany in 1891 amounted to
about S114, 100000, while Germany
exported to Russia in the same year
only some SCI, ,OO0,O 900.
