The sweeping time is when there
is something useful in sweeping; so
here it is: Our season is over on ladies
wraps and the large lot on hand must
go. The cut in the price warrants
that they will go. We will sell the
lot at one third off of the price, be-
ginning Monday, the 10th. This is
cheapening your winter comfort very
largely.

.Scscncc and Malaria.

Professor G. y. Grassi OF the Univer-
sity OF Rome describes In the current
Independent the recent victory OF SCI
ence over the diseases known as ma
laria" The results obtained were such
as to promise the banishment ut no
distant day OF these harassing mala
dies from all communities willing to
take the simple measures required. An
accompanying benefit is the opening to
human use Of many districts hitherto
deemed uninhabitable.
Space will not permit even a resume
of the successive steps of patient in
vestigation by which the character and
manner of propagation of malaria were
established. Suffice It to say that ma
larial fevers on this theory are caused
by parasites implanted in the blood Of
man by the anopheles species OF mos
quito. These parasites exist only in
the human body and in this mosquito.
They can propagate in the latter only
in the warm months. The disappear
ance of the disease during part OF the
year is due to the fact that there are
then no infected mosquitoes. But the
parasites survive in the human body,
and are taken from the latter by the
next crop OF mosquitoes, to be injected
into new human victims. and so on
from year to year.

Transcontinental railroads ended the
days of the buffaloes. Great swarms of
hunters were carried out by the rail-

and vast numbers Of the buffaloes were
killed out of sheer wantonness. Next
to the Indian himself the buffalo was
the most picturesque and distinctive
feature of the American landscape in
the wilder regions from the earliest

time, but both-the Indian by seclu-
