Lord WolseIey has sometimes been blamed Cor

until too late. Mr.. Gladstone and the late Lord

and recommendations OF Lord Woseley and Of
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who then occupied
minor office in the Cabinet, but who was With

POINTERS ON MOSQUITOES.
Male Is Musician, but Female 1s
Bloodthirsty.


When a man hears for the first tina
that it is the female mosquito that
does all the biting it makes him feel
right glad. Further comfort is afforded
by the knowledge that the male mos-
quito has probably the keenest musical
sensibilities of any of his class of in
sects He has quite brush of hairs
on his antennae, and with them he
hears. Mayer stuck one of his kind
on a glass plate and sounded tuning
forks about When one tone was made
certain hairs would yibrate, while all
the others were still. Another tone
would start another set to vibrating,
and so oil. Also, if the tuning fork
Tere at one side of the mosquito, the
hairs on that aRtennae trembled most
violently, so that when the male hears
or, rather, feels-the voice of his be-
loved in one antennae, he wheels about
sc that vibration is equal in both and
dies straight ahead to meet her. That
Is about al there is to the male mos
quito, though, except that he cannot
bite, for the sufficient reason that he
has no apparatus with which to saw
through the Skin. So to speak, he has
the pumps, but no drill. But the fe-
male is thoroughly equipped for get
ting through even politicians hide.
The only mystery is what possesses
her to want to bite at all. How did
she come by her hapkering for blood?
The scientists give it 2p. If she laid
her eggs i'll the wound, like TIE carrion
fly, it would be easy to answer the
question, but she doesn't. II she stung
to defend herself, like the wasp, 1t
would be easy. II must be her brutal
passion for blood that prompts her to
attack helpless human beings. She
cannot get this craving by inheritance,
for the chances are that none of her
ancestors as far back as William the
Conqueror ever had a taste of human
blood, and yet sit out on your front
stoop of an evening, and mosquito,
not half an hour out of the water, will
make as straight for you as If she had
been born for that purpose. When
one thinks of the great clouds OF these
torrents that live and die in swamps
where no warm looded animal ever
comes, for fear of being mired, one can
easily believe the estimate of entomol-
ogists that not one in million ever

CHINESE HISTORY IS ANCIENT.
Dates Back to the Time When Nineveh

WAS o Great metropolis.
The authentic history and biography

Jews. Those with it's chro-

the remote Pc. j97 years before
Christ The hislO4 4eAns of China en-
brace succession OF uninterrupted
series of more than 2,400 years. The
full and continuous history of the en-
pire was compiled In the second CEN
fury OF our era. The great Libraries
of Pekin contain volumes OF books
numbered by the hundreds of thou
sands. In the archives of the govern
meur arr still to be found the ancient
predictions of eclipses made with great
accuracy together with works on as
tronomy which show a fair knowledge
of that interesting science. Biogra-
plies, very succinctly written, of the
emperors of the most ancient dynas-
ties still ey st, and written works OF
learned men are as yoluminous as
those of European nations. And all
this learning and love of learning has
been acquired without help or Sugges-
ton from any foreign people. If their
authentic histories reach back nearly
five centuries ago, mythical history
reaches still further back into the
very night of time. When Nineveh
and Babylon were in the splendor of
their might men in China were pre-
dieting eclipses, making catalogues
and giving names 10 the stars. But
Nineveh and Babylon were mere
mounds Of earth and rubbish when
China was great and to this date the
civilization and life OF the empire are
the wonder OF the world.

The Term Of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led
TO the preparation of tables showing
the full term of life" for man, and
other mammals, based upon the theory
that there is fixed ratio between the
period required to reach maturity and
the total length of life. Accident, dis
ease and so forth. have to be eliminat-
ed from the calculation. According to
these tables, only one animal exceeds
man in its full life term, namely, the
elephant. For man the theory makes
the average term about 80 years, and
for the elephant something over 100
years. Next to man. in longevity.
come the camel and the Arabian horse.
whose term of life is about AZ Tears.

taken was the adoption of the following
resolution against capital punishment:
Resolved, That the death penalty is

barbarism, which cheapens human life;
a form of legal murder which increases
the crime of murder instead of remedy
ing it. 1t cannot have the sanction of
any follower of Christ or any Christian
church. We, therefore, protest against
capital punishment, and recommend
that our people use their influence
for its abolition and the substitution Of
a form of punishment in accord with the
doctrines of our divine Master"
