 You can best observe the mosquito fin action by letting one settle undis- turbe1 on the back of your hand, and waiting while she fills herself with your blood; you can easily watch her doing 50 with pocket lens. Like the old lady in "Pickwick," she Is soon swelling wisibly." She gorges herself with blood, indeed, which she straight way digests. aSsiinllates, and converts into BOO eggs. But if. while she is sucking. you gently and unobtrusiyely tighten the skin of your hand by clenching your fist hard, you will find that she cannot any longer withdraw her mandibles; they are caught fast in your flesh by their own harpoon-like teeth, and there she must stop accord ingly till you choose to release her. If you then kill her in the usual manner, by a smart slap of the hand, you will see that she is literally full of blood, having sucked good drop of 1t

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed
condition OF the mucous lining of
the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is intiamed you have 4
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
TO its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of deafness
Caused by catarrh) that cannot

or graceful wine pitcher filled with

The mistletoe and holly are replaced by
bouquets and garlands of artificial flow
ers, and here and there are pots of
blooming narcissi or even a rosebush.
On the family altar, and nearly every
Chihaman, no matter how poor, has his

smoldering sandalwood within. a light

candle, gay in scarlet and gold. At the
temple throng visits the angels par

joss sticks in gratitude for her favors
the past year and in hope Of their con.
tinuance during the harvest to come.
Then come those who ask che angel to

child, the marriage Of son, the setting
