MOUTH PARTS OF MOSQUITO MAGNIFIED.
The settlers of this country adopted the
common name mosquito for the "Culex
pipiens" and used the name gnat to desig-
nate an insect that was more felt than
seen.
Culex pipiens is frail and delicate
creature to be possessed Of vicious and
bloodthirsty disposition. But here it must
be stated that the sexes differ in this re-
spect. 1t is the female only that bites. She
alone is responsible for all the evil reputa-
ton which has been attached to the species
The male has not the power, even if he
had the will, while her will and power
seem to be commensurate.
Tho mouth parts Of the female consti-
tute wondrously elaborate and complex
apparatus, which no verbal description
can do justice to. What appears to the
naked eye to be a single sting is composed
of no less than seven distinct and separa-
BILE parts. What Is taken for the sting Is
only the sheath in which the sting rests
when not in use. Two of the parts are
barbed at the point for cutting the skin.
All but the sheath enter two thirds their
full length before they begin drawing the
blood, the sheath doubling up under the
body of the insect
1t is the prevailing opinion that mosqui-
toes live exclusively on animal blood, and
yet, according to writer in the annual re-
port of tho Ontario chronological society,
from which the foregoing is CLEANED, not
one in million Of them ever gets taste
Of it. 1t Is not reasonable to suppose that
the life even of the mosquito can be sus-
tanned long without food of some sort. Sew
eral reports have been made from time to
time of a vegetable feeding species of mos
quito having been seen. Is it a separate
species, or is it our old acquaintance Culex
pipiens indulging in a little of her natural
vegetable diet?
When we understand that this is one of
the habits Of the insect, we see that there
is double reason present why they should
seek the cover of rank vegetation-one,
protection from the direct rays of the sun,
which they cannot endure; the other that
they may obtain food to sustain life. Yet,
no matter what amount of vegetable juice
they may take, it never slakes their thirst
for blood.

The BELLE OR THE SEASON.
A Beautiful Belle Broken in Health.
A Journey Through Europe.

A beautiful American lady had grown pale
and thin. The belle of the season" was tired.
Each passing winter had found her in the
forefront OF social gayety, and each recurring
summer had tossed her like straw from city
to seaside, from seaside to mountains, ard
from mountains to country. 1t YVES very
pleasant while it lasted. There were balls
and dinners in the winter. with hosts Of
admirins friends to bear witness to her social
triumphs. A black and dismal day came
when she was forced to admit, even to her
self, that her influence was gone and that she
was merely belle OF the past. She was no
longer beautiful. Flesh anG blood and nerves
had stood the strain as long as they could,
and then they went to the Wall.

The farmers have every reason to re-
loice over the weather, which during the
whole spring has been exceptionally favor
able for them. During the planting time
it was fine and the ground dry and in good
condition for that work. Now that nearly
all the crops are in the ground the warm
rains will rapidly increase the growth.
From the present outlook the hay crop will
be good one.

A New way of Annealing Steel.

A new way of annealing steel is to heat
the piece as slowly as possible, and when
at II low red heat put it between two pieces
of dry board and screw them up tight in a
wise Tho steel burns its way into the
boards and on coming together around it
they form practically alright charcoal
bed. When it cools off, the steel is apt to
be found thoroughly annealed, according
to The Ironmonger.

every vagary of their tastes. In all Of these
cases tho action of the salts in powder form
upon the skin was strongly marked. Es-
pecially wast this the case with persons having
duh or notified faces as the result Of bad
digestion. Under the stimulating action of
the waters when used with the addition of
tho salt, tho skin would exfoliate frequently,
thus causing the complexion to become much
clearer.
He found that the action of the Carlsbad
Salt in powder form showed clearly the
peculiar value of the water for medicinal
purposes. 1t is not a mere purgativc, as
might be supposed, but is an Alternative and
eliminative remedy. In its action on the
human system it dissolves tenacious bile,
removes all unhealthy growths, alays irrita-
ton, neutralizes free acid, and places the
vital organs in a sound and healthy condition.
1t does this by aiding nature. and not by
sudden and excessive stimulation. In its
effect upon the stomach the water as well as
the Carlsbad Sprudcl Salt powder FORM
causes a soothing, Alternative action on the
nerves of the stomach. This causes the in
creased appetite that is invariably noticed
after short course of treatment, and also
spreads throughout the entire body. By its
introduction into the circulation of the sys-
TEN they correct many morbid decompo-
sitions of blood and lymph.
It will be seen from this casual glance
at the action of Carlsbad Water and the
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in powder form. that
the curative results are obtained in the SIM
plest and most natural manner. The remedy
first dissolves and absorbs all tough and
obnoxious secretions, and Immediately there
after begins to build up the system with new
health and strength. As in building new
house on the foundations of an old one, the
builders first clear away the old rubbish, so
the Carlsbad Water and Sprudel Salt clear
away the rubbish and accumulated secretions
of ill-heath.
The superstructure of new life and strength
is then built upon the renewed foundations.
The Carlsbad Waters and Sprudel Salt are
becoming so popular in this country that
dishonest persons have found It profitable to
place upon the market bogus Sprudcl Salts;
but. 70 make sure that he is getting the
genuine imported article, the purchaser
should be careful to buy only that which
bears the name of Eisner g. Mendelson Co.,
New York City, on the label, who are the sole
agents for the United States for tho products
of the Carlsbad Springs. The pamphlets
ssued by this house give great deal of
interesting information concerning Carlsbad,
and will be mailed free upon application.
