Circumventins tho Mosquito.

While the British steamer Bellucia
was in the harbor of Buenos Ayres on
her voyage to South America Captain
Nerison taught the people Of that city a
lesson which may be Of value to people
in many sections Of this country. The
residents of the city and other captains
in the estuary Of the River Plata won
dered why the English vessel's foghorn
footed every evening. The choes Of the
harsh braying Of the horn ,aked up the
harbor and caused great deal Of com.
ment. When the mystery was solved,
the horns on other craft were blown too.
The explanation was very simple.
Captain Nerison Of the Bellucia was
unable to smoke his evening pipe on ao-
count of the millions Of South American
mosquitoes that made life on deck after
sundown unbearable. He happened to
remember that mosquitoes cannot stand
the pulsations in the air caused by
sound waves. So on every dog watch he
detailed a sailor to blow horn back Of
his chair on the quarterback, and there.
after smoked his pipe undisturbed. d.

The beauty Of the Greeks has been

beautiful face. There was village on

handsome, tall women, with the low,
classic brow and often with blue eyes.
They wore their hair plated with rib

seph's Drink-The smartest DOG.
Was Hungry and Willing.

National Committeeman W. O. Hill
Of Tennessee had an experience in Wash
ington not long since that will linger
long in his own memory and that Of
certain cab driver Of the capital. Mr..
Hill is a small but wiry and resolute
gentleman. The particular cabby with
whom he had to do was big and strong
and not overburdened with integrity.
His fare was on the point Of leaving the
city, but got the jehu to drive him to
down town hotel, the bar Of which he
entered for liquid refreshments. While
in the place the Tennesseean dropped a
roll Of bills amounting to nearly 5000.
He re-entered the vehicle, but shortly
afterward discovered his loss and direct
ed the driver to take him back to the
hotel where he had last remembered TAX
ing out his money.
On entering he made eager inquiry
for the lost roll, but nobody had seen it.
It was good bit to let get away, and
Mr.. Hill was much put out. He went
back to the street and said rather saw
agely to the coaohman, 'sDrive me to
the police station.'' The fellow demur-
red to this. and at last fatty refused to
go. Hills temper arose, and he made q
grab for the man to pull him of his
seat.
"Hold on, sir. That'll do. I'll give
you back your money" and to the as
tonishment of tho southerner cabby be-
gan to unscrew his ancient lamp. and
from the socket drew forth bundle Of
currency so blackened and soiled with
grease and dirt that it was scarcely to
be recognized as money. Mr.. Hill count
ed it and found there was not a dollar
missing.
He was SO amazed at the denouement
that he forgot to tell the driver what he
thought of him, and the latter began to
humble forth lame explanation that
he hadn't meant to steal the cash, but
only intended to keep it for awhile to
teach the owner not to be so careless in
future. Mr.. Hill let it go at that, but
he has his own ideas touching the in
tentions Of the other party.-Washing-

The Old Hounds Farewell.


An affecting account of the death OF
an old hound is given by his owner in
The Animal World. Hector was long
tried and trusted dog, the leader Of a
pack Of hounds. The old dog became too
infirm for tho field and was left at
home when the pack went out. Year by
year his feebleness grew upon him, bat
he was we'll cared for and passed his
time mainly in sleeping beside the
kitchen fire. His long absence from the
hunting field caused his fine, deep toned
note to be almost forgotten. Zone aft

ing in my room, when suddenly heard
the splendid note, as thought at the
moment, Of strange hound and lis
tened to heay it again, when, instead Of
its being repeated, the whole pack in
the kennel near my house gave one
burst, as if in full cry, and as the
sounds died away and all was again
hushed in stiffness, my huntsman
rushed into the room, saying in an agi-
tated voice. Hector is dead, SIR That
splendid note of what I had thought a
strange hound had been the old dogs

The recent floods along the Mississipm
will be made the text Of an appeal next
winter for 4lb, 900, 900 appropriation
at the next session. Representative
Catohings Of Mississippi, who used to
be the chairman Of the river and har-
bors committee, said recently that this
amount at least would be needed to
raise the levees along the Mississippi
four feet on an average in order to pre-
vent the recurrence Of the disasters
which the states Of Mississippi, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana have recently expert
enced. Fifteen millions of dollars,"
said he. "seems to be a very large sum,
but we have already lost CSC, 900, 900 in
the cotton and 90, 000, 900 in the sugar
plantations, to say nothing Of the great
loss to railroads In the tying up Of trains
and the lack Of ordinary freight traffic
that results from good crops.
To Control the Mississippi.
Representative Sayers of Texas, who
was chairman Of the appropriations
committee in the last Democratic CON-
gress and who has had much experience
in dealing with government works, sug-
gests plan for a comprehensive settle
ment Of the Mississippi river problem.
Mr.. Sayers would have the United
States government invite the engineers
Of the world to consider the problem Of
controlling the Mississippi river and to
present plans for permanent system,
80 that tho government might adopt the
ideas Of the best engineering talent.
For this purpose he suggests that q COM
petition might be brought about by an
offer Of prizes, perhaps $4,000 for the
plan which should be considered best
and $25, 900 for the second best, induce
ments sufficient to attract the most skill
full engineers in the world. those who
have dealt with such works as the Sue7
canal and the dikes of Holland. By this
plan, Mr.. Sayers believes, the govern
ment could secure the ideas Of the best
engineers Of the world, who might be
induced by the offer Of a large reward
to personally study the great river and
the possibilities Of controlling it.
