A NEGLECTED STUDY.
The Home Traits and Personal Charaote
istics of the Jersey Mosquito.

Tho Home Traits and Personal Character
istics of the Jersey Mosquito.
OF the home and family life Of that
! famous mezzo-soprano singer, the mos
quito, few people know much of any
thing. To begin at the beginning,
| one of the leading traits of the mos
quito is his breeding quality The fe-
male mosquito takes very little care OF
| her offspring, and hence she cares very
! little how many there are. She lays
| her eggs in stagnant water, and then,
/ instead of setting" as the hen, she
| leaves the eggs to their fate, like the
heartless mother she is, and allows the
sun and water TO do the rest.
TO the contrary is told by the
scientist, with some other bold mos
quito in search of gore. In course of
time the eggs hatch, if they have good
luck, and become diminutive monsters
or the deep. They continually stand
upon their heads. or rather they hang
from the surface head downward. only
the tip end of their tails being out of
the water
Through these their tails they
breathe. occasionally making little ex-
cursions down into the water, and are
commonly called by small boys wig
glers" After awhile, either from YER
tigo or cHnui or love of change, they
cast off their outer hide and appear on
top of the water as fuil-feged mos
qultoes and at once start out on their

are the ones who do the mischief. the

do not follow this gentle injunction.
| OF the general characteristics much
has been already said. He is peculiar
and very contradictory sort of charac-
ter, gentle and yet sanguinary in the
extreme: affectionate and vet at times
extremely vindictive. The mosquito is,
above all things, a musical animal.
! Many people declare their dislike 10 his
class of music; he is sworn at by those
who have no music in their souls, as all
musicians are sworn at by that class of
people, and yet his style of music is of
so seductive and impressive a character
| that thousands who would snore
| through a Wagnerian opera wake and
listen to the ''lascivious blessings" of
the gay mosquitoes lutte.
The mosquito is also distinguished for
his universally. From GreenlaDd's
icy mountains to midas coral strand
is found the mosquito. He is found in
the greatest size and in greatest num-
bers in the low and swampy lands Of
the tropics and in New jersey. but he
is found everywhere. and only lately
there came wall from Lapland that
the mosquitoes there were very bad in

not claim that she is entirely rid Of
them. In the tropics. especially along

Pussy had made a good marriage,
one very much to the generals liking;
her husband holding good military
appointment in one of the northern
counties.
Belonging as he did to the large fam
lily of the Fidgetts, the general had no
end of fads, and on this occasion he
had to look after these himself; Stibbs,
his confidential valet, having taken it
into his head to get married, and to a
widow!
