Pooling the Mosquito.

1t appears that the khedive is not the
only Egyptian who deceives himself.
According TO Canon Scott Holland, the
mosquitoes of the country do the same.
The reverend gentleman lectured to the
members of the Workingmen's College
in Great Ormond street on Saturday
evening on his recent visit to the land
of the Sphinx and the Pyramids. and
explained the only manner of obtaining
a restful night there. The only way
to obtain sleep" he said, "is to search
carefully your curtained bed and pa.
tienty tlatten with the sole of your slip
per every mosquito you can find then
close the curtains as quickly as possible.
"All the other mosquitoes in the room
at once conclude that you have gone to
bed and devote the rest of the night to
getting inside the curtains and nibbling
at what they believe to be the body of
an intr'uding foreigner, while you your
self calmly enjoy quiet and undisturbed
repOse on the sofa on the other side of
the room. The mosquitoes do not find
out their mistake until next morning"

MARK TWAlN's PHILOSOPHY.
Being Extracts from the Calendar Of
Pudd nhead Wilson.

Nothing so needs reforming as other
peoples habits.
Behold the fool saith. Put not all
thine eggs in the one basket"-which is
but manner of sayin, Scatter your
money and your attention; but the
wise man saith. Put all your eggs in
the one basket and-WATCH THAT
BASKET"
If you pick up starving dog and
make him prosperous, he will not bite
you. This is the principal difference
between dog and "a man.
We know all about the habits of the
ant we know all about the habits of the
bee, but we know nothing at all about
the habits of the oyster. II seems al
most certain that we have been choosing
the wrong time for studying the oyster.
Even popularity can be overdone In
Rome, along at first, you are full of re-
grets that Michelangelo died; but by
and by you regret that you didn't see
him do it.
July 4. Statistics show that we lose
more fools on this day than in all the
other days of the year put together.
This proves 10y the number left in stock,
that one Fourth of July per year is now
inadequate, the country has grown so.

Model Barn--Colored Camp Meeting K.

The carpenters on the new livery barn
began work Monday morning on the Office.
1t is said that the room will be done in
hard wood, and finished in oil,
aud equal to the best. We have looked II
barn over from basement to roof and find
that everything desirable is added to make it
a remarkably convenient establishment. Dr.
Morey has shown a degree of enterprise in
the planning and construction of this barn
that demonstrates practical building capa-
bilities, and we hope he will continue to add
his influence toward public improvement in
our village. Already the value of adjacent
property has taken an upward turn, and we
understand that the hotel property, just north
of the barn, is about to be exchanged for
real estate in Saginaw, and an addition ex-
tending to the west line Immediately to be
commenced, and thorough oyerhauling of
the original building THE colored
peoples campmeeting, at Riverdale. promises
to bring out very large crowd on the oath.
The grounds have been put in good shape
and every detail is completed, and it seems
that brass band is an unnecessary attrac-
ton at a campmeeting on the holy Sabbath
day, but Riverdale will be ahead of the world.
The X. o. L. NJ. are growing, innitia-
tions nearly every review feature of their
meetings being the lunch afterwards. The
Com. is quite an expert as a cook and knows
how to make the most delicious biscuits and
hot coffee on gasoline stoye.-Quite
number of wheels are seen on our street
lately. Moblo is learning to ride. By the
tracks he makes IN the streets one would
suppose he was closely connected with the
new bottling works. He had to borrow a suit
of clothes from Tim Kirwln to get back into
town the other morning.-Thee exhibition
on the street, of Plano machines, turned out
to be fizZle. None of the farmers in this
section took enough interest in the machines
to put in an appearance, and the great street
parade of one binder is indefinitely post
poned. We always understood that the place
to exhibit binder was in the field when the
grain was ripe, but then some are great
skaters ia the summer time.

Height OF Man i'm Year 1000 A. ID.

De Moreal, the French statistician, has
been figuring on the gradual diminu-
ton of height in the human family with
some astonishing results. He finds that
in the year 1910 the average height of
man was l.75 meters, or about feet 9
inches. In 1890 it was > feet 8 inches;
in 1920, > feet > inches At the present
time il is but > feet 81 inches. Prom
these figures it is easy to deduce the rate
Of regular and gradual decline in human
stature. Figuring both ways from the
present we find that the height OF man
ain the beginning" was 10 feet . inches
and that the average man of the year
1000 a. d. will be less than 10 inches
high!

Kind Of Man Women Like.

Probably the best thing that was ever
written on the interesting question of
what women like in men is summed up
in the idea that women like man who
can be strong as a lion when trouble
comes and yet if one is nervous and
tired can button up a shoe with an
amount of consideration that is men,
tai and physical bracer-up. They like
a man who likes them, who doesn't
scorn their opinions, who believes in
their good taste, who has confidence in
them, and wit enough to realize that
when one of the fairer sex is slightly
stubborn persuasion is more powerful
than all the arguments in the world.

caused by the Irish Channel for the sake
Of enjoying the superb hunting that can

used to have "A private arena, and when
in playful mood would give exhibitions
Of startling equestrian skill TO a select
One day when her little daughter
Stephanie was on visit al the home OF
a noble in another part of the empire it
occurred TO her hosts that perhaps a

princess "A novel delight. They took
the child and were astOnished at the
profound gravity with which her little
eyes watched the performers leaping
through hoops of colored paper, turning
somersaults, or riding two horses at
once.
Well, said one at last. what does
our little princess think of it?"
Not much, replied the child, shaking
her head sagely. My ma can do those
things a heap better" Then, with an
