Destructive Eject Of the Insecta' Bite
Upon Human Health Scfen-
tiAeally Considered.

A more serious charge than that OF
spreading malaria is brought against
the mosquito in Century. the writer
being the chief entomologist of the de-
partment of agriculture.
1.-THE latest news, which comes to VI
with the authority of the yellow fever
commission of the United States army,
would seem to indicate that, great a.
are the discomforts which mosquitoes
occasion through their tormenting
bites, and great as is their destructive
effect upon human health through the
transfer of malaria, they exert still
another and most maleficent influence
by the transfer of yellow fever. The
immediate cause of yellow fever is still
disputed. Neither the Bacillus \ OF
Sternberg nor the Bacillus icteroides
of Sanerelh now seems to be the
causative organism of this terrible dis
ease, and the true nature of the germ
for it is germ-disease-is yet to be
ascertained. The experiments of last
summer and winter made in govern
ment hospitals in Cuba show with .
reasonable degree Of certainty that
mosquitoes which have bitten patients
suffering with the yellow fever may.
and do, upon biting healthy persons.
convey the disease. In each case, how
ever, it is not Anopheles which is the
active agent in the transfer, but spe-
cies of Culex known ~ Culex fasciatus.
or Culex taeniatus, form which.
while it has always been placed in the
genus Culex, seems, according to Theo-
bald, the English authority, to present
structural differences Of sufficient i'm

A Story of Lincoln.

During Mir. Lincoln's practice of his profession of the law, long before he was thought of for president, he was attending the circuit court, which met at Bloomington, Ills. The prosecuting attorney, a lawyer by the name of Lamon, was a man of great physical strength, and took particular pleasure in athletic sports, and was so fond of wrestling that his power and experi- ence rendered him a formidable and generally successful opponent.
 One pleasant day in the fall Lamon was wrestling near the courthouse with some one who had challenged him to a trial. and in the scuffle made a large rent in the rear of his unmention- ables. Before he had time to make any change he was called into court to take up a case. The evidence was finished, and Lamon got up to address the jury, and, having on a somewhat short coat his misfortune was rather apparent.
 One of the lawyers, for a joke, start ed subscription paper, which was passed from one member of the bar to another as they sat by a long table fronting the bench, to buy a pair of trousers for Lamon, ''he being." the paper said, "a poor but worthy young man." Several put down their names with some ludicrous subscription, and finally the paper was laid by some one In front of Mir. Lincoln on plea that he was engaged in writing at the time. He quietly glanced over the paper and immediately took up his pen and wrote after his name, T can contribute notE- ing to the end in view"

Development of the H..@~.

Mans first tool was the upllfted hand grasping a stone, and from this came, after many years, the hammer. As heavier blows became necessary the hammer grew in size. until it was op- erated by machinery in the form of the tilt or helve hammer. When steam Huc- ceeded water as n motive power, a steam cylinder replaced the tripping cam. but the first half of the past cen tury had nearly expired before the orig lnai form of this tool was at all chang cd by James Nasmyth's invention of the upright steam hammer.
 Since then the falling weight of this design of tool has gradually been in- creased from a few hundred pounds mp to 100 and even 125 tons, but excepting the smaller sizes up to 20 tons 1t has since 1900 been superseded by the hy. draulic press. which by its slow motion produces a moro thorough working of the metal Presses have grown until the capacity of 1s,oo0 tons was reach cd, requiring a 15,ooo horsepower en- zine to drive it Such A tool, with It's accompaniment of 200 ton electric cranes for handling tho work under meath. is capable of forging ingots over I5 inches fin diameter and weighing more than 2500o0 pounds.

Which of Your Eyes Criesf

It seems positively absurd question to ask. (Which of your eyes criesT
 In an everyday, common or garden cry 1t Is well known that salt tears make their appearance and rush away down the face seemingly as fast from one as from the other, whichever the "other" may be, but if careful note is made, more especially with emotional people, 1t will be found that one of the eyes has a special emotional tendency and often opens the tear valve before its companion has decided upon the un- happy event.
 Probably the best method of discov- ering the emotional eye Is to attend a pathetic stage play and when the weep ing period comes along look out for tear No. 1.
 The writer attended such piece re- gently and was somewhat astonished to find that all his grief came from the right eye.
 Whether the solution to the problem is to be found in the fact that he was leaning on his right arm must and can only be decided by an expert.

 msnts Among Th~m.
 Buffalo, Sept. 1s.-The following statement has been given out by the physicians who attended President Mo kinley during his last Illness;
 "The surgeons and physicians who were in attendance on the late presi- dent Mckinley have had their atten- tion called to certain sensational state ments recently published indicating dissensions and mutual rscrimination among them.
 We desire to ssy 10 the press and public, once for all. that every such publication and all alleged interviews with any of us containing criticiam of one another or of any of our associates arc false.
 "We say again that there was never n serious disagreement among the pro fessionnl attendants as to any of the symptoms or as to the treatment of the case or as to the bulletins which were Issued. A very unusual harmony of opinion and action prevailed all through the case.
 ''rhe unfortunate result could not have been foreseen before the unfavor- able symptoms declared themselves late on the sixth day and could not have been prevented by any human agency.
 Pending the. completion and publica- ton of the official reports of the post mortem examiners and attending stan we shall refuse to make any further statements for publication, and alleged interviews with any of us may be known to be fictitious"

But, best of all, there was Tillie, quite woman now, pret- tier than ever, blushing furiously and holding his hand as she had never held 1t before and holding up her radiant face to be kissed as often as he liked.

 But it all seemed too long to the re turned hero. He felt very proud and happy of course. He bowed to the judge and shook hands with everybody and tried to make a speech, but all the time his eyes were seeking Tillie, and his heart was aching for another chance to greet her. At last the guests withdrew, and Tom and Jim and Mir. and Mrs. Crowder and-wondrous luck -Tillie all piled into the big carriage and were driven up to the Crowder home.

 And Tillie, all blushes, ran into the bedroom only to reappear in a moment with a bundle of muslin and lace that looked like a small bolster.

 Then they all laughed and clapped their hands, except poor Tom and the baby.
 Whose kid Is it ?" asked Tom faintly as his white face turned from the child's to Tillie's.
 "Why, it's Tillie's," laughed the mother, "Tillie's and Jim's. They were married year ago, but we thought we'd keep the secret awhile"
