Insects and Disease.

Nothing could more strikingly illus trate the importance of small things than the large role which Is now att tributed to the mosquito in the etiology of some of the most serious and wide spread diseases to which the human race is subject. It Is truly said that what prevents the successful colonial tion of many tropical countries, and what throws the greatest obstacle in the way of civilization and of good government in vast regions of central Africa, is not climate, not distance from home, and not unfriendliness on the part Of the natives. The obstacle Is malaria. and now we find that the prevalence of malaria, so far as man is concerned, depends on the mosquito. and that this pestilent little insect, in addition to irritating and annoying, is the means by which the poison of ma laria Is propagated and distributed. For important part played by birds in tho scattering of seed. and of insects in the distribution of the pollen of plants; and 1t seems not unlikely that pathol- ogists will have to recognize in a much larger degree than has till lately been done, the large part taken by the sub ordinate forms of life by which we are surrounded-our cattle, our horses, our dogs and cats, our flies, our mos- quitoes, and perhaps even our fleas-- in distributing disease from man to man, and, as is stated in regard to the mosquito and malaria. in deciding whether the extension of our empire over great areas of the globes surface shall be possible or not.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Illustrated by the Success of Mr
 Wanamaker.


 A business man of Philadelphia tCld me the other day that MT. Wan- amaker's profits from his Philadel- phia store last year were over $1,- 750,000 and those from his New York establishment will run close to that figure. The Saturday before Christ mas the receipts in New York were even greater than those In Philadel- phia and exceeded $500, ,00O. The New York store has paid q profit from the very day it was opened. although two firms which occupied the estab- lishment since 4. T. Stewards death have failed. The reason of MT. Wan amaker's great success, both in New York and Philadelphia, is his skill ful and extensive dverti ing. It has been his rule to cOnfine his advertis. ing to newspapers and magazines, on which he has spent annually more than $500, GOO in hiladelphia. The advertising bill of his New York es- <tahlishment exceeded eYen that sum last year.-W E. Curtis in Chicago Record.
