Insects That war with the Mo.qu,t,

Insects That War with the Mosquito.
There are two natural enemies of the
mosquito, the dragon fly and the spider.
The latter, as we 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 mos

There is no necessity for this. A Clergy
man adds nothing to his usefulness, but
greatly detracts from it. by neglecting his
health. If man, be he clergyman or layman,
will resort to the right remedy just as soon
as he feels out of sorts, and knows that he
is little bilious or that his liver is torpid,
or his digestion is out of order, he will re-
main healthy and robust and add much to
his usefulness and MANY years to his life.

The Commons al Buckingham Palace

Members of both sides of the house
of commons have been comparing notes
of grievance anent the recent fiasco at
Buckingham palace. Two interest
ing stories have been going the round
of the lobby. One is that when Mr..
Speaker, who was sitting on form in a
vault or corridor, waiting to be sum-
moned to the presence, was called up
stairs it was done in a very uncere-
monious manner. "Speaker!" shouted
an official up aloft; Speaker" shouted
another at the top of the cellar steps;
and so the first commoner of the Mother
of Parliaments was invited to leave hi:
form and go upstairs with his address

THE PARLIAMENT OF MAN.

Whatever has become of the age Of chivalry. as
suredly the age Of congresses Is here. One might
well hesitate to say how large proportion OF
the human race Is at this present moment en-
gagged in holding conventions Of one kind or
another They are local, State, National, uni
versal. They are educational, religious. indus
trial political. Some of them result in much
practical good. Some are more idle than the
wandering wind. But whatever work is to be
done. whatever reform wrought, whatever cause
advanced whatever theoiy, fancy, vagary, ex-
plotted a congress must be called, through
congress the end must be attained
An interesting example of this tendency Of
the times is TO be seen in Brussels. That city
is this summer the scene Of no less than four
separate international congresses dealing with
four separate phases of what is so vaguely
termed the labor question. The first of these,
beginning on July I. had under consideration
the Day of Rest. Sabbath observance was dis
cussed from all points Of view. including fe-
ligious, social, educational, industrial and n.y.
genic The second followed shortly after OPEN
ing on Friday last. 1t deals with the housing
of working folk, with view to increasing COM
fort and health and decreasing cost. The Sec
ond will close to-day, and tomorrow the third
VIII open. 1t VIII be QeVOteU 10 tne mucnus-
cussed topic Of injuries to wOrkingmen the pre-
vention thereof and indemnity therefor Final

will consider the feasibility Of establishing an
international system Of protection for working
men against accidents, unhealthful trades. I'M

Government patronage and are participated in
by leading officers of State
There are other congresses this year at Brus-

where. and that the interests of industralsm
are more to the fore in the congresses of the
world than any other one theme train of
thought. Nor Is it unreasonable that it should
be For industrialism comprehends the great
majority Of the human race. 1t is an encourag
attention more and more to the welfare of men
Of action. There is no longer room for complaint
that labor is ignored. Its interests are
spicuous If not dominant in the Legislature. the
school, perhaps the Church, certainly the
gress. There are none others so influential, so
sOlicitOusly regarded. That as already said, is
well. But it is well, also, not to lose sight Of
the natural sequence, the reciprocal obligations
Of he man Of action to the man of thought
If parllaments and conventions are thus devot
ing themselves to promoting the welfare of the
workingmen, it is surely incumbent upon the
worklngmen to be amenable to the reasoning
they put forth and to the laws they make.
