The Malaria MusQuito.

According to the observations OF
Major Ross OF India, the germs of ma
laria are borne. not by the brindled or
gray mosquito, but by his cousin, the
spotted-winged mosquito. Major Ross
vas recently sent to the west coast OF
Africa to investigate the sources of
malaria there, and he reports that, as
In India, the spotted-winged mosquito
is the agent through which the disease
is spread. Italian Investigators have
also shown that mosquitoes convey the
germs of malaria into the blood of
human beings.

About Destiny.

w. J. Bryan is the greatest
American of them all. He wa,
thrashed by his opponents i'll 1896.
They seemed to enjoy the defeat
they gave him, but YOU keep hear
ing Bryan reiterate that if the de-
feat of the policies which he advo-
Gated benefited the country then
he is more than glad of the reverse
he met. But the country has not
yet been benefited, and Bryan is
yet the man of destiny.
But Bryan is too'modest to talk
overly much about his own dcsti-
ny, so he talks about the country :
destiny. Down in New York the
other day he gave uttcrancc to the
following good thoughts:
Some say that God opened the
door for lis and pushed us into the
Philippines and then closed the
door. want to know how they
know. If any man says God told
him, then | want to know the day
and the hour of the communica-
ton, and | shall undertake to
prove an alibi for the Almighty.
u hear men going up and down
the land saying that God told them
things. | know that if God knew
them as well rs know them he
would not tell them anything.
put against this doctrine of blood
the words of the Master himself,
/ come not to destroy but to save.
They say the Filipinos are not
capable of self-govcrnment. Isay
it is false. What would YOU think
of a God who would create the Fill
ipinos and leave them for hundreds
of years helpless until il syndicate
found them! They say it is desti-
ny. If it was the destiny of Cain
to Stay his brother, was it also the
destiny Of Cain to wear the mark of
the murderer on his brow forever
afterward? If it is the destiny of
our nation to enter the path of i'm
pcrialism, it is destiny to follow
that path of destruction, as did the
empires Of history.
but | do not believe this nation
is toperish. am not ready to pre-
pare it for burial. Empires resting
on force may fall, but Il republic
resting on the broad ground of the
Declaration of Independence will
live forever"

The Great Presidential Campaign Of 1900.

The wars Of America have, heretofore

conclusions have been answered as soonas
the battle smoke cleared away, and and
the victor realized his victory. The war
with Spain is unlike its predecessors. IL

atcd problems which may not be solved
lightly. These problems are being formu-
lated by the political parties. and before
they can be definitely settled at the ballot
box it is necessary that the people be in
formed in regard to the situation. The re-

The most popular and exciting form
OF gambling in China is cricket-fg

Scabby Legs.

This is condition of the legs caused
by the growth and irritation of an in
sect, that is sometimes found living be-
tween the scales of the shanks, says
American Poultry Journal. You may
find just slight roughness with a
few insects, or the shanks may be
twice the ordinary size and Of dis
gushing appearance. The rough spots
consist of scales, dirt and a few in
sects. If you scrape off a little of this
collection and put 1t under a magnify
ing glass, you can easily recognize the
insect that causes the trouble A little
pains taken will cure this disease. An
ointment of sulphur one ounce, vase
line ten stablespoonfuls well rubbed
into the rough places twice a week,
for two weeks, will make life miser-
able for the parasite and heal the irri-
tated parts. Set no hen with scaly
legs unless you desire unsightly shanks
in the chicks. A single hen with scsly
legs is liable to pass the disease to the
other birds in the yard. The legs of
the infected bird getting against those
of other birds on the roost may cause
the spread of the trouble. II You wish
to be sure Of no future cases, apply
the ointment to all birds. DO not have
even one case Of scaly legs on your
plant. 1t is an indication of a han.
hazard poultryman.

The vocabularIss of Civilization.

If the English language Is soon to
be the universal tongue, one Is inclined
to feel rather sorry for those who have
to acquire it. For, according to a Ger
man statistcian, who has made a study
concerning the comparative wealth OF
all the languages of modern civiliza-
ton, ours is the only one which heads
the list with the enormous vocabulary
OF 100000 words. Germany comes next,
after great drop, with 10000 words
then follows Italy, with 10000; France,
with only 10000; Turkey, with $4,000,
ana Spain, with 10000 words. Fortu-
nately the literature of nation does
not depend on the number of words in
It's vocabulary, for did not the French
masters OF the pen In the seventeenth
century work with the small capital of
5000 words?

Last DAYS Of John RnskIn.

Occasionally we get little reminder
that John Ruskin is still with U.S.
although his working days are over
He now lives at Coniston, a beautiful
place in Lancashire, England, where
he has decided to spend the remainder
OF his days, interesting himself in his
books, pictures and music. 1t is said
that of late the great philosopher has
become strangely silent and uncorl-
municative. and only on special occa-
sions Will he allow his friends to see
him. He is now very old and infirm,
so much so, in fact, that he can no
longer attend to his garden, which
pastime was formerly one OF his great
est delights. John Ruskin, however,
has always lived the life OF recluse,
more or less, somewhat in the same
manner that Thomas Carlyle was wont
to do. Therefore one is hardly sur
prised at hearing that he now rests in
seclusion after working for over half
century.
