THE BRUTE TANNING THE BRUTE.
The power of man over the brute Gre
alton is but little understood. About
its only manifestation is purely one Of
force. The law of kindness has but lit
tie in common with the subjugation
and tanning of unbroken or wild animal
life. This is simply the brute conquer
ing another brute We like to think
that when the Creator gave man do
minion over all other life it was not in
tended to be obtained in this manner.
We see enough to teach us that there is
better way. Here is man possessed
of some occult ability taking the most
fractions and untamable horses and in
few lessons without the aid of force
in any form Transforming them into
the most docile of animals; here an
other making friends with the birds so
that they will alight on his hand and
feed from his fingers; here little girl
able to manage a horse which no
man on the place dare go near But
it may be said that few men possess
this gift of being able to tame animals
by kindness, to which we will reply
that so few ever try it that the gift
might be possessed and never be devel-
oned

Why Does a Mosquito Bite?

Just why the mosquito bites people
is not yet known. It is not to furnish
it food, for it is an established fact
that,a mosquito, after gcrging himself
with human blood, dies within few
hours, whereas mosquitoes that have
never tasted blood have been known
to live very comfortably even through
the winter and into the next season.
The adult mosquito does not need
food. During its larva stage it has
stored up enough nourishment to last
it all its life, and it is normal state
for it to go without for the rest Of its
existence. All that it needs is moist
air, adult mosquitoes being known to
pass the winter in damp cellars, living
on nothing but the moisture. The
fact that it is estimated that only one
out of 10000 ever tastes human blood
also proves that it is not necessary.
Why it persists in torturing mankind,
therefore, has not yet been found out,
and scientists can only swear softly
with the rest of mankind, and make
the general statement that the mos
quito is born with vitiated appetite
for human gore-an appetite that
causes the death of the indulger.-

MUST sTARVE TO LIVE.
Tho Only Policy to Be Pursued by the
Cautious Man.

Cautious Man.
Medical science has taken up the
food question SO closely during recent
years and gone to such trouble and
expense to find out every deleterious
quality in articles of everyday con-
sumption that the man who studies
hygiene attentatively can only eat-if
he believes all he reads-at the great
risk of contracting disease OF poison
ing himself.
Bread is not to be thought of as an
article of diet. It is O treacherous
compound, consisting largely of alum
and potatoes, and, concocted in some
insanitary cellar, it is teeming with
microbes and totally unfit for food.
No careful man will touch beef
owing to the nnmber of tuberculous
carcasses which are constantly being
placed upon the market. Mutton and
lamb are also to be tabooed on similar
grounds, and no one would think of
touching pork for fear the late
lamented piggy might have died of
swine fever.
The vegetarian chortles in his Joy
and points out that pone of these
things, except bread, affects his style
of dining. But his triumph is short
lived. Root vegetables are to be
dreaded because of wire-worm, to-
matoes induce cancer, cabbages may
become poisonous by the application
of improper fertilizers, and, there
fore, are best left alone, while; in ad-
dition to the disease microbe which
kdeyotes its attention to the potato,
thereJis always the risk of damage to
the digestive organs.
