n,rnoIE AND HIs sMUpGE.

During the warm spell just closed
MOSQUITOES were unusually numerous
and active in Wilmington, the East
Side suffering especially because OF its
proximity to the marshes along the
Delaware. In his wanderings over
town the Wayfarer noticed that Jerry
O'Toole, OF the Liberty Fire Company
made use OF a device quite common in
Kent and Sussex counties, but rarely
seen here, to keep the pests away. It
was what Is known down the state as
"smudge," or a small fire which is
nearly all smoke. The scene reminded
the Wayfarer Of scenes OF his boyhood
days. When mosquitoes are bad in the
eastern sections Of Kent and Sussex
counties It is the usual thing to have
one "smudge" burning in front OF the
dwelling house for the protection OF the
people, and another in the barnyard
for the protection Of the live stock, due
regard being paid to the direction OF
the wind in placing the "smudge."
Persons residing in this section have
no conception Of what the mosquito
nuisance is. To fully appreciate II
they must go down the state and spend
a day or two near the marshes which
breed the insects by the billions in the
course Of a season. Instances are re-
corded Of the tiny pests having killei
not only horses and cattle, but men al
well.
