wore dark clothes and were heavy set,
weighing probably 165 or 10 pounds.
One wore sack and the other frocll
coat; one wore stiff hat and the other
slouch hat. Both were lappdyed shirts
and white collars, .....-i,ls, .sl,,

Paid the DOwie Elder.

Mansfield Shield: Last week Edward
Williams, the Dowie bicycle elder, got
off the train at Lucas and left his wheel
on the platform. Some boys and men
secured the wheel and cut the tires and
saddle. 1t developed that the wheel was
in the custody of the railroad as the
baggage check was still on it. T.. f. w
& c. detectives looked up the case this
week and the Lucas young men who
cut the wheel, to avoid prosecution,
were compelled to pay the damage sus-
tanned. The railroad authorities seem
to be more efficient in dealing with these
outrages than the Mansfield officials.

These probably have to do with the
sucking of blood.
When the proboscis is in action 1t
is all forced into the skin except the
sheath, which is bent into sort of
loop, which becomes narrower as the
piercing organ penetrates more deep
ly. At either side OF the base of the
proboscis is a pair Of jointed ap-
pendages, maxillary palpi. The poison
is secreted either in two glands, which
are situated at each side of the
thorax, or in a single gland at the
base of the proboscis.
The sides and front of the head of
the mosquito are occupied by facetted
eyes. This probably accounts for the
ease with which mosquitoes escape
from impending smashing under an
uplifted hand They are able to see
all around them and so are able to get
out of danger. In some species the
eyes touch each other in front, so
completely do they cover the head.
A recent work on gnats or mos
quitoes, by Major George M. Giles, an
English investigator, names over 240
distinct species. Of these the culex
varieties comprise about three
fourths. These are distinguished from
the anopheles or malaria bearing mos
quitoes With the exception of the
polar regions it is said that no at
all extensive land surface on the globe
is free from mosquitoes. In North
America there are no less than Al
culex species.
AS a rule the culex is soberly
colored, although under the lens he
shows elaborate and beautiful mark
ing. Most Of them have no definite
spots on the wings, as distinguished
| from the mottled-winged anopheles.
Such distinctions of the culex varie-
ties are noted as varying colors OF
thorax and abdomen and knees spot
ted. The males are distinguished by
having plumed antennae, while the
females have their antennae nearly
bare, or with tufts of hair at the base.
Probably the most common culex
mosquito is the culex signifier, which
is thus described: Wings unspotetd
but with brindle scales, tarsal joints
banded white at both end, thorax
broWnish black, with two subdorsal
silyery vitae on the anterior half
and arcuate silvery lines throughout.
Abdomen violaceous with white basal
bands to the segments
The culex solicitans is the signifi-
cant name of another United States
| mosquito which is thus described:
Black with fawn-eolored fomentum,
proboscis long, slender, curved, tes-
taceous, black toward the tip. Anten-
nae black testaceous at the base;
thorax fawn-colored, with two black
stripes; pleurae and pectus whitish;
abdomen with two lateral black quad
rate spots on each segment, the two
APPEAL segments with narrower spots;
legs slender; tart black with white
band; wings grayish; veins testace-
Gus with brown knobs; length of body
lines; Of the wings, lines.

OLD WEDDING RINGS.

Old wedding rings, worn thin
By long, sweet years of faithfulness,
Which through the ups and downs OF
life have been
The pledges of unfaltering love,
However sore the stress
All, where's the token that can move
The heart like these?
These faithful bands,
Nor wealth can buy nor might can
seize!
Each day more precious, and each year
More sacred, dear;
Circlets that bind
In one the heart, the soul, the mind;
Remembrancers of all the sacred past;-
Sureties of love that evermore shall
last.
Old wedding rings!
How many in the caskets and the dust.
In holy loyalty and trust
Cleave unto folded hands like living;
things!
There, if needs must be, let them rust.
No casket half SO precious or so fit
AS deaths for what is left of love on
earth.
But ali, when love shall have rebirth
In heay'n, shall not the pledge that
hallowed it
Somehow-with reverence be it said 8
Share the glad resurrection of the
dead?
