Mosquitoes.

pestiferous mosquito gets IN It's
deadly work. No scientist has
ever been able to discover single
virtue in the insect, but we all
know it's faults. Besides making
mankind miserable during the
summer, there is no doubt that
the mosquitoes carry and aropa-
gate diseases.
There is every reason to believe
that they spread yellow fever. 1t
has been observed that this dread
full fever comes with them and
departs when they go. Where
they are most plentiful it -four
ishes, but where they are scarce
very few cases appear. Malaria
is also supposed to be propagated
by these pests, but this charge
has not been proved.
There are about one hundred
and fifty species of mosquitoes in
the world, and at least twenty zone
are native to North America.
New Jersey alone has four species,
one succeeding another, so that it
Is kept we'll supplied all summer.
The largest varieties occur in the
tropics.
The female does all the biting.
The male never enters the house
unless by accident, its only object
in life being to perpetuate the
species. The natural food of the
female is the juices of the plants.
It is not known why she likes
human blood. If she drinks her
FIJI once she never troubles man.
kind again. Her sting consists OF
five very sharp needles, two Of
them being barbed. They unite
and form an awl, which, having
made the puncture, serves rs a
tube to suck the blood through.
When Mrs. Mosquito is ready
to lay her eggs she selects some
till water near by. Here she de-
posits them in boat shaped mass
on the surface. She lays about
one hundred at sitting. From
these the larvae are Matched. These
larvae are called "wrigglers. :
When the wriggler is ready to
emerge into an insect he comes to
the surface and sheds his skin,
which serves as raft for him to
stand upon. If there is any wind
his taft may lie upset and he
drowned. However, if nothing
happens, he stands on it a minute
or two until his wings are dry,
and then flies away to torment
unfortunate persons. 1t takes
three or four weeks for the eggs to
develop into full-fedged mosquit-
oes.
In localities where there are
swamps or bitches the nuisance
may be mitigated by covering the
waters with petroleum. A single
drop of oil will spread over quite
large surface, and the thinnest
film is said to be the death of the
llrvae. 1t is estimated that 500
acres Of. water surface can be COW
cred with crude oil for So. II
such surfaces were covered five
times during the summer no mos

duce hundreds Of generations in i"

We were aske ii g other day by a
conscientious gold man if it would b e
right to accept good gold from the
money brokers OF New York and
London AMI then compel them to &C
cept silver simply because the bonds
are made payable in either metal.
In the first place bonds were not sold
for gold or silver, they were sold dur
ing the war, the greater portion OF
them. for deprecated green backs
which cost the bond holders but fifty
cents on the dollar.
Yet those bonds have been paid
with good gold dollars worth one
hundred cents AND A LARGE POR-
TION OF THEM, IN R ECENT
YEARS, WITH GOLD DOLLARS
WORTH TWO HUNDRED CENTS.
Surely he tax payers of this country
have not allowed the bondholders to
suffer. All Of this has been done, yet
the advocates of the single gold stan,
dard seem to be greatly worried for
fear that hose poor money brokers
are going to be cheated in some way
and hence they cry reputation, nat
ional dishonor, etc.
1t is true that the government re-
ceived gold for recent bonds sold, and
President Cleveland wanted thost
bonds made payable in gold only,
claiming that the government could
save several millions of dollars m
premiums thereby. but Congress would
not permit this. Hence the govern
ment has paid for the privilege OF
paying those bonds i'll silver if it Sc
chooses.
The producing classes OF this
country have paid upwards of two
billion dollars of war bonds. By
careful estimate made by such mel.

tinue to raise wheat at the present
luinousIy low prices, w.th which to
buy two HUNDRED cent dollars 10 pay
a debt that originally cost the boud-
hol ers but fifty cents on the dollar.
Surely the harvest of the bondhol sers
has been ample and easily garnered.
while that of the toiling millions has
been scanty, yielding meager returns
for the labor expended, and to brand
those poorly clad and pc orly fed. IL

classes of this country, repudiaters
and anarchists, simply because they

robbed, back to its former place, is
unjust.
The cry of "Repudiation" come
with poor grace, so far as the pay
ment of the government bonds are
concerned.

This day died MIR. Sam. Pepys, a
very worthy, industrious and curious
person, none in England exceeding him
in knowledge of the Navy. in which he
had passed through all the more consid
cradle Offices, CLERK Of the Acts and Sec
rotary Of the Admiralty, all which he
performed with great integrity. When
King James went out Of England, he
laid down his office and would serve no
more, but withdrawing himself from all
public affaires he liv'd at Chaplain
with his partner Mr.. Hewer, formerly
his clerk, in d very noble house and
sweet place, where he enjoy'd the fruite
of his labors in create prosperity. He
was universally BELOVED, hospitable,
generous, learned in many things,
skill'd in music, very create cherisher
of learned men, of whom he had the
conversation.
His library and collection of other
curiosities were of the most consider
able, the models Of ships especially.
Besides what he published of an Ac-
count of the Navy, as he found and left
it, he had for divers yeares under his
hand the History of the Navy, or Ma
valia, as he called it, but how far ad
vanc'd, and what will follow of his, is
left, suppose, to his sisters son, Mr.
Jackson, a young gentleman whom Mr..
Pepys had educated in all sorts Of use
full learning, sending him to travel
abroad, from whence he return d with
extraordinary accomplishments and
worthy to be heir. Mr.. Pepys had been
for neere forty yeares SO much my par.
ticular friend that Mr.. jackson sent mt
compleat mourning, desiring me to be
one to hold up the pail at his magnifi-
cent obsequies, but my indisposition
hinder'd me from doing him this last
office. -''Evelyn' Diary
An amusing incident occurred at ~
fashionable wedding in London. Ono
friend, who determined to save her
money and credit at the same time, took
a broken earring to famous jeweler Of
Bond street and ordered the little stone
to be set as ascarfpin for the groom.
AS she sagely remarked, "It does me
no good, and coming from such a ia
nous establishment they are sure to
prize it and think 1. paid lot Of
money" When the package was re
turned from the shop, the wedding guest
failed to examine her proposed present,
and merely dispatched it with her card
and compliments. Imagine her disgust,
when strolling through the rooms where
the bridal gifts were displayed, to find
a dozen people about her offering, and
each one smiling For moment she
hesitated, then pressed forward, and 10!
