Destroying Mosquitoes.

For several months past experiments
have been conducted at Sassari, in Sar-
DINA, by DR.. Ferni, DR.. Cossul- Rocca.
and DR.. Lumbar, for the purpose of rid
ting that town Of the mosquitoes with
which 1t is overrun. The doctors eff
fectually destroyed the larvae by dis
tributing large quantities of petroleum
In the swamps and other spots where
the insects bred, and the mosquitoes
were exterminated by chlorine and
other powerful destructive chemicals.
The doctors in their report considered it
possible to free any town infested with
mosquitoes by this means, provided the
place Is not too unfavorably situated.
1t is an economical remedy, costing
only about $3.50 year for town pos
sessing a population of about $4,000 in
habitants.

". Mr.. Parker considers Beecher,
Spurgeon and Moody the three best
preachers he has heard, ranking them
In that order. Beecher used the fewest
possible notes, which would be unintel-
ligible to any one else and gave no
hint OF the store Of eloquence which
they would suggest to him. Spurgeon
wrote down catch words and few be-
ginnings of sentences. Both Beecher
and Sturgeon trusted almost entirely
to the inspiration of the moment tofse7

fences, some of Beecher's aphorisms
being among the best In any literature.
Moody used no notes at all. "Can any

head, and reading a sermon?" Instead,
he spoke extemporaneously and pas

TRADE OF TIEN-TSlN.
An Important Commercial City of tn,
Chinese Coast.

An Important Commercial City of the
Chinese Coast.
The bund, or water front, gives one
some adequate idea of the commercial
Importance Of Tien-Tsin. The docks of
Liverpool or New York, although many
times greater in extent, are not more
crowded and busy. Here the lighters,
anchored in the river, just across the
way from the great warehouses, are
loaded with cargo to be sent out or
which has just been received from the
ships at Taku. There are mountains
Of bales done up in mating and bound
securely with iron for their protection
in their long journey to the uttermost
quarters of the globe; there are boxes
and casks Of Chinese make marked
London or Hamburg, and in the midst
of all this merchandise throngs Of half
naked coolies swarm like insects, in
sects furnished with lusty and never
silent voices. There are tons of wool
from Mongolia, camels' hair. skins.
charcoal, and soda from Siberia. mats
and grain. One now and then has whifrs
OF musty perfume, the breath of orien-
tai bazaars, spice and sandalwood. 1t
Is one of the busiest spots in the world
and can furnish succinct object les
son to one at all interested in the prob
lem of our commercial relations with
the far east.

1t is well known that Mrs. EmmOns
Blaine has made muniflcent provisions
for establishing the Chicago Institute,
with the twofold object of providing
ideal educational conditions from kim
dergarten to college and Offering to
teachers the best advantages for pro-
fessional training. One feature Of the
enterprise which is not often mention
ed is of much Importance. After the
staff of instruction was appointed, the
twenty-six men and women who COM
prise the staff were placed under sal
aries and were allowed year for ma
turing their own qualifications before
being called to their respective chairs.
Most of them are now pursuing special
studies at universities, or are travelling
on tours of observation in the rich Old
World. This faculty elect Is composed
Of persons already well educated.
Many of them have already proved
their fitness for the work for which
they now seek fresh preparation. Such
a fact emphasizes the modern urgency
for higher educational standards. The
teacher must ever be a learner The
same impulse reaches downward to the
preparatory schools. The conditions of
admission to the best colleges are not
growing easier And for those who
seek real education the regular course
leads to a real commencement" be-
cause the bachelors degree marks the
first step, the lowest round on the lad
der of that higher learning which is to
be the joyous pursuit and passion of
lifetime. Postgraduate studies are also
growing in fashion, because every pro-
fession, like that Of the instructor, de-
mands a superior equipment, with
broader and deeper grounding. In all
departments of skilled labor-in art
and artisan work, in business manage
ment and the conduct of human affairs
along every line-there is the same de-
mand for higher standards, as if civil
ization were trying to throw off the
curse of bad work. AS the late James
r. Fields once remarked: "There is ev-
erywhere a demand for what is first
class. Nobody wants "a pretty good
egg"

WHAT THE CHINESE EAT.
Rice Is Not the Principal Diet of the
Comm mon People.

Rice Is Not the Principal Diet of the
Common People.
1t is the popular belief in this coun-
try that rice is the chief diet Of the
lower classes Of China. This is erro-
neous, for rice Is luxury from their
point of view, because too costly for
everyday consumption. They eat much
pork, which costs little for hogs Of
razor-back breed are plentiful every
where, and the pig is the domestic ami
NAL par excellence. She sleeps in the
living room, recognizes her name and
displays in her intelligence the inherit
ed results Of centuries of training. She
filters twice year, and of her offspring
the males are fattened while the fe-
males are sold or kept for breeding. The
household porker is pet; she is fed
at every meal of the family, foraging
for herself at other times in the streets
and fields. And it should be remem-
bered that the pig Is decidedly clean
animal when properly kept.
Rev. DR.. Williams, in his middle
Kingdom" says that the Chinese in the
vicinity of Canton, from whom are re-
cruited nearly all Of the pig-tailed i'm
migrants to this country, have a re-
markable appetite for cats. One fire.
quently sees pussies hanging, nicely
dressed, in the butchers windows, the
meat looking so white and clean as to
be almost appetizing. They are kept
alive in the shops, too, in cages ready
for killing. Because they are so pro-
life and find so much of their own food,
they can be raised profitably. Cats
eyes are considered a great delicacy by
the rich, those Of black cats being re-
garded as choicest and commanding the
highest price. Rats and mice are sell
dom eaten, except in case Of famine;
they are too hard to catch to be cheap.
But among, the Chinese there is an old
joke about an imaginary dish called
honey and squeak made by inclosing
a live mouse in piece of honeycomb.
