ar determination of MOSQUITOES.

Experiments in different parts OF
the United States, and in New Jer-
sey in particular, have demonstrated
the fact that the extirmination OF
the mosquito can be accomplished.
The Mexican Central Railway COM
pany is enga ged in. new experiment,
which, if it is all that is claimed for
1t, will be of inestimable value to the
residents OF this city. To show how
earnest they are in the matter, they
have created a new office-that of
mosquito commissioner-and the
portfolio was awarded to Captain
George c. Sperry, superintendent OF
telegraphs for the company.
An exchange, in discussing the
matter, said:
Scientific investigation has dis
closed the fact that a few grains of
permanganate of potash will destroy
oil the embryo mosquitoes in a very
large area of mosquito swamp. At
. cents an acre all the mosquitoes
can be killed for a space OF thirty
days, and as the breeding time is but
two months cents will assure pro-
lection for the entire year. This
places it within the possibility of a
state, and certainly a city, to entire
ly rid itself of a great nuisance.
April and May are two months in
which mosquitoes breed. They are
purely local in their habits, and not
migratory, as some suppose, and they
seldom move more than 100 feet from
the place of their birth. Hence, TO
exterminate the breed in a certain
locality would rid that locality of the
pest for that season at least, and the

How man gets a chance for dis
tinguishing himself when he least ex-
poets it, is exemplified in Admiral
Dewey's case. In 1897 the desirable
post in the United States navy seemed
to be the Pacific station, with Honolu-
In as its objective point. The Japa-
nese imbroglio was in full swing and
there seemed to be a chance for glo-
ny. Admiral, then Commodore Dew
ey, was very anxious to obtain the
coveted post, and when Admiral Mil
Ter was appointed Dewey was very
much chagrined, and regarded his APP
pointment to the command of the
China squadron as, practically, Danish
ment. And now in 1898 the japanese
imbroglio has vanished into thin air,
and the China squadron has been the
first to give commander his oppor-
tunity of winning glory. Truly
there's a destiny which shapes our
ends" but Dewey did not think so in

RAPID TRANSIT.

The Rapid Transit act, about whiu'i
we heard 50 much at the beginning of
the session, seems to have stuck n
the Senate. The necessity of having
some change in our public transit sys-
TEN is plain to every one. Complaints
as to the working of the cars come in
from every direction. The one blot
upon our city, as an up-to-date place,
is the tramway system. 1t is slow,
the cars are veritable Noah's arls,
and the whole thing is a disgrace to
the city.
Had the comany ever shown any de-
sire to meet the public half way, it
is possible that an extension of fran
chise might have been granted to
them, but the experience of the pub
lie is and has been that said compa-

would be for the Legislative bodies to

Couldn't Fool the Old Man.

Things had progressed TO a point
where the young man had been prac-
tically received into the family circle.
While he hadn't yet mustered up sutii-
cient courage TO ask the old mans
consent, it was evident that he would
in time.
Thus it happened that the old man,
who liked nothing better than good
game OF whist or euchre or hearts, in
vited him to have little game one
evening, and of course be didn't feel
that it would be policy to refuse.
"You and mother" said the old
man, referring to his wife, "can play
against Martha and me. That will
be fair. If you and Martha sat op-
poste each other, you would proba-
bly, persist in locking into each others
eyes to the great detriment Of tho
game"
Naturally the young woman and the
young man blushed, but they said
nothing and the game began.
1t wasn't much of a game. While
the young woman wasn't sitting op-
posite the young man she was sitting
next to him, and every few minutes
one or the other Of them forgot to play
when it was his or her turn. Then
too, there were frequent inquiries as
to who took the last trick and what
was trumps, and altogether the old
man felt a good deal like swearing on
one or two occasions.
Finally he made up his mind that
patience had ceased to be virtue.
The game had come to standstill
while the young people exchanged
condolences in whisper. 1t was Nc.
ticeable also that each one had one
hand under the table.
Young man, said the old man,
sharply, al should infer from the way
you are playing that you have not
much of a hand.
"On the contrary, sir, protested
the young man, 81 think ! haye rs
good hand as ever held.
well, suppose you drop it for a
few minutes and try to play the cards
that are on the table, suggested the
old gentleman gravely.
He did. His missing hand appeared
above the table almost instantly, and
so did hers. And they both blushed.

prince said "Did you observe that
after you changed to my right side tho
people whom we met looked at you in
