BY Faith.

The night is dark. and alone tread
The way. yet not alone:
The clouds that lower overhead
Across the moon are blown
onward go and do not fear.
With footsteps firm and light;
whisper words Of sweetest cheer
By faith and not by sight.
Oh, how thank Him that the way,
Though unto me unknown,
He knowsi And through the clouds the rap
OF light Is Ger me thrown.
simply hold His guiding hand.
And, although dark the night
trust-nor care to understand
For faith surpasses sight
Oh, scould know each Ill that waits
Upon my onward road,
I'd bow beneath the heavy weights
OF sorrows weary losdi
His grace sufnces every need,
And nothing can alright
The soul that on his mamma feeds
And walks by faith. not sight
Gods way Is always the best way;
His will now make mine;
His peace doth fll my heart each day
With harmony divine
I simply trust because know
Gods plans are always right
And willingly, where'er SO,
III walk by faith, not sight.

The PLAGUE
OF MOSQUITOES.
Nocturnal Marauders Are
Found in Many Places.
Eggs Laid in the Morning Are Hatched

The government department OF agri-
culture has just issued little book by
l.. A. Howard on mosquitoes Mr.. How
ard says that "the attention Of the entire
civilized world has been drawn with
vivid interest toward the whole mosquito
question. Every fact concerning mosqui-
toes becomes now of great potential inn
portance. The correspondence of this of
flee on mosquitoes. owing largely TO Its
publications, has become greatly in

address scientific bodies and citizens i'm

mosquito determination, and in the spring
of the, present year lectured before the

OF very many mosquitoes; but by this he
does not intend TO convey the idea that
they are carried by wind or that they iiy
to any great distance inland. There are
other means of conveyance, and OF these
railway trains seem To be very important.
All through the summer evenings trains
are started inland from Wee
hawken, Hoboken, Jersey City'Sonth
Amboy, Long Branch. Atlantic city,
Ocean City. and Cape May. Many OF the
cars, as the writer knows from expert
ence, contain mosquitoes by the hum
dreds. In this way unlimited quantities
of mosquitoes are carried unlimited dis
tances, and. emerging from the cars.will
start 10 breed even In localities where
mosquitoes are ordinarily rare, or would
be rare under ordinary conditions.
In this way even mountain resorts Will
get their supply OF lowand mosquitoes,
and with the Improvement OF railway
service and the increase I'm number of
through cars the danger is constantly In
creasing.
II appears that mosquitoes are hatched
from eggs. The individual eggs are OF
nm. in length and ole nm. In diameter
at the base. They are slender. broader
and blunt at bottom, slenderer and some
what pointed at tip. The tip is always
dark grsyish brown in color, while the
rest OF the egg is dirty white. Repeated
observations snow tDat the eggs Hdtcn,
under advantageous conditions. certainly

DRAGON FLIES AS EXTERMINAToRS

New York and Philadelphia. while en-
gagged a number OF years ago i'm building

This gave Or. Lamborn the idea that
perhaps dragon flies might be domesti-
Gated and utilized to destroy mosquitoes
along the New Jersey coast and else
where; and so he offered prizes for the
three best essays regarding methods OF
destroying the mosquito and the house
fly, especially designating the dragon fly
for careful investigation.
The successful essays-by Mrs. c. B.
Aaron. Mr.. A. G.. Weeks and Mr.. William
Beutenmuller--were published by DR.

Flies vs. Mosquitoes. The Lamborn prize

lt is needless to say that none OF the es-
SAYS was able TO solve the problem of n
practical breeding. on a large scale. of
dragon flies for mosquito determination
and. i'm fact. the whole subject of the
natural enemies OF the MOSQUITO Is of
little practical importance. Dragon flies
as adults. feed on adult mosquitoes
just as they Will upon all other insects
which they are able to capture and de-

. Women as Takers.

Talk is popularity supposed to be a
gift with which the gentler sex is eX-
travagantly endowed. Yet how few
women talk Welt Some of them were
forgotten when the gift of CAB" was
passed around; many more have a
great flow of words of which the sub
stance is-nothing.
There is no reason in nature why
women should be less amusing than
men; but the inferiority is obvious.
Take the simplest instance. Thirty or
forty men will meet at o'clock, dine
together and pass the evening very
agreeably till midnight. Everybody
likes to be asked to such functions.
Imagine thirty or forty women called
upon to do the same; would they be
able to amuse themselves? If they
would, why do they not do 1t!
The fact is that the vice of talking
TO make talk, and not to interest or be
iterested, has entered into their very
souls. and onlv the careful and intelll-
gent among them eradicate the faint.
Women have learned 10 be talked to,
hut not to originate talk. They have
been taught by their mothers from
childhood that they must never talk
about themselves; that discretion is
the better part of conversation, ana
that the one thing essential is to be in
significant, because if you mean moth
ing. YOU never will be misunderstood;
whereas if you get into the habit OF
exciting yourself over talk, you may
h11rt somebody's feelings or shock
somebody's nerves, and you may not re-
member to go away at the end of
twenty minutes. All this formality ~
simply fatal to talk; because, in order
tn talk so that you will interest or in
order. to show that you are interested
YOU must produce something of your
nr,-,n nnersnnalitY.

TEE GOLDEN TEMPER.
This Is the Philosophers Stone of a
Woman's Domestic Life.

Woman's Domestic Life.
The art of being companionable is a
secret worth finding out, even if it
takes time and patience to learn it,
afirnls Mary Stuart Mckinney when
writing of THE Companionable Per
SON. in the March Woman's Home
Companion. Some people are born with
the happy knack There is a spon-
taneOus gaiety that you expect women
TO have, just as you expect the birds to
sing and the sun to shine. Many a
very bad quarter of an hour has been
averted in the domestic circle by a
bright laugh or a gay rejoinder- The
laugh may be saucy and the TejOinder
a bit Of verbal buffet, but if it is only
done good-naturedly it will be all the
more effective. 1t used basely to be
said Of men that the only way to make
them happy was to feed them well.
That could only have applied to a small
and commonplace minority. OF course,
no one wants an uninterrupted round
Of even the most brilliant smiles any
more than he would wish to make three
meals a day Of meringues and biscuits
glaces, but it is safe to say that count
less numbers of willing and delighted
masculine captives may be led by the
lightest chains that gaiety and good
hurnOr can forge. One result Of a great
deal Of the imperfect education that
is dealt out by the handful nowadays
is that some women are apt to set IN
due value on mere book learning and
the gift Of controversy. This kind Of
a person looks upon your little joke
as beneath her dignity, and she treats
you to a comber- harangue on the neces-
gity of having serious views Of life at
the moment when you are striving to
look at things cheerfully in an EFFORT
TO forget cares and anxieties. 1t is a
woman's privilege to tighten the shad-
ows and be all that is gracious and
bright on the ornamental side of life
1t is a good plan to let much learning
sit as lightly as possible and to get
into the habit Of making little trou-
bIes pass like little ripples in sunny
river -
