THE WATER WE DRINK.

For very brief periods has our river
water been perfectly clear during this
summer. This has been bad for us, OF
course. but Il has been well for the agri-
cultural community. The seasons when
we have clear hydrant water for long
periods are seasons OF drought, when the
land Is scorched and the crops nearly
burned up. Such a season was that Of
the summer and fan OF 1891. That was

MOSQUITOES.

New Orleans is reported to be particu-
larly badly afflicted with mosquitoes TINS
season. Not only do they make the
nights horrld. but what is called the
day mosquito" has also made its appear
ance. to add to the discomfort Of the
summer days.
The mosquito plague is said TO be on
the increase North and South both. Even
the KIondike gold miners declare that
they are tortured by this rapacious in
sect. Nor are the Arctic voyagers eX-
empt. And even here in Richmond we
have few.
At certain well-known Virginia ana
West Virginia mineral springs mosquitoes
were reputed TO be unknown until Inc
Chesapeake -and Ohio railroad pierced
those mountains. 1t is now believed by
many that they were imported upon the
oil trains that came from the Ohio-river
country. BE that as it may, the mos
quito is as unwelcome in the mountains
as he is anywhere else on earth.
In one of his famous short articles,
Dr. Bagby expressed his hostility to the
ny. Yet, the adjectival emphasis that
he employed to condemn the fly might
well be doubled or trebied when one
speaks OF the mosquito. Doubtless he
was created for some wise purpose, but
the manufacturers Of mosquito bars are
the only persons who seem to have any
inkling as to what that purpose was.

we drew;
For it was ours, from utmost isles i'm

In stormy sea, where wave and tempest
swirled.
To fetch for man lost and priceless

And still for many a day, our mighty

With soaring sail flies onward DER the

And we. at dawn. with anxious vision

Each new horizon, lifted from the dark.
For islands which have Liberty in keep
