AROUND THE BEND,

There comes time just once a week
When nothing matters much;
I'm waiting for step l know,
A smile, voice, touch:
Hes coming, coming" sings the wire,
With sweet, prosaic jar
For Dick, my Dick, dear fellow,
takes common, five-cent car.
But never maiden rich and fair
'Mong cushions satin fine,
In gown OF silk and laces rare,
Had dearer love than mine.
30 every Saturday wait
The happy moment when
HIS car comes swinging round the bend,
And Dick has come again.
He glances up: know it, though
will not let him see;
For not yet may tell him
That love as fond as he.
Then comes the BELLS far tinkle
And the maids reluctant feet.
And then 1 hear him on the stair,
And then at last-we meet.
My heart beats so cannot speak,
He thinks me coy and cold;
1t is because of depths of love
The which have not told.
But when the autumn leaves are crisp
When snow has come again,
Dear Dick will be my own, my own!
Perhaps I'll tell him then.

Insects That War With tho Mosquito.

There are two natural enemies of
the mosquito, the dragon fly and the
spider The latter, aswe know, wages
constant warfare upon all insect life,
and where mosquitoes are plentiful
they form the chief diet of their hairy
foe. The dragon fly is destroyer Of
mosquitoes in at least two stages of
life. The larva dragon fly feeds upon
the larva mosquito, and when fully de-
veloped the latter dimes constantly
upon the matured mosquito. The
dragon fly as a solution of the mosquito
pest question is not satisfactory, for
while there is no serious difficulty to
be encountered in the cultivation OF
dragon flies in large numbers, yet it
is manifestly impossible to keep them
in the dark woods where mosquitoes
abound, the hunting ground of the
"darning needle" being among the
flowers and dry gardens where tho
sunshine prevails. For this very i'm
portant reason the scheme of hunting
one kind of insect with another must
be abandoned. as impracticable. -

A leading society woman here has en-

institution. For several weeks the wo-
man managers of the Protestant Orphan
asylum have discussed the defalcation
in meetings pledged to secrecy. Though
the books of the asylum have showed
large balance, when the money was
wanted it could not be had. The treas
urer finally stated that she had given the
money TO her husband and could not OBJ
tain it. When the officers of the insti-
tuition applied to the bank where the
funds had been deposited they were
refused Il statement, the treasurer hav-
iIg ordered that statements should be
given only to herself.
A new treasurer was elected and de-
mand made for settlement. The for
mer treasurer then wrote a letter to the
officers stating that the missionary
money had been used to pay for the liv-
ing expenses Of her family during the
last three or four years, and that she
could not replace 1t.

of the effects of this peculiar climate as
any one in the city. He has not beer

of success in the treatment of his
patients he has been most fortunate.
He declares it is remarkable fact that
children born here of tubercular pa
rents seldom if ever develop the disease
so long as they remain in this climate.
Therefore it is clear that those having
a hereditary tendency to consumption
would do we'll to come here and remain

the Tucson climate is the exceptional
and, indeed, unparalleled dryness of the

Humidity is wellknown factor,

that the percentage of humidity in Tue
