of another that they may assist In keep ing the family together. This has been the case for many, many years among the poorer classes of people in the lower walks of life; but today 1t extends to a class who, in former years were well able to care for their families. To learn the cause of this investigation follows, and 1t is easily discovered that the ex- penses of life have been greatly increased by the aggregation of inconsiderable out lays for trif1es that have become essen- tials.
 The necessities of life having increased, and the domestic labors of young girls having disappeared, it Is a natural cir cumstance that this wasting energy be directed to a channel of production Con- sequently we find the we'll educated young in the labor market seeking em- ployment. We find her earning her living as teacher in the public and private schools, In the office as stenographer and typewriter, and in other honored places l am not one of those who believe that the domestic instincts of women so em- ployed are destroyed by the fact that they are compelled to absent themselves from the home for so many years. Some of these women in the event of marriage will gladly take up the time-honored do- nestle duties; but there are others who would never be able to do so. But do not hestitate to say that the necessity which compels a young girl to seek a liv- ing in store office or schoolroom Is fast becoming a menace to the home life of the next decade.
 The conditions surrounding the young lady in office and schoolroom are pleas ant, the hours are good and the wages excellent. This independent income breeds Independence. An American girl earning her own way purposes the fullest enjoy- ment of her independence She shows it in her home and objects to control. When married. after the period of enthusiasm after the coming of the sense Lat the husband is not a hero but very ordinary man, after the realization that an inde- pendent income has great advantages, will not the bride rescued from the type writer and the schoolroom, fret in tn, bonds and seek to break them?
 While l survey the field of labor for young women l cannot cease to commend 1t; but when I think of the home of the future, 1t seems to me that see trouble ahead. Already the gas stove has taken the place of the range fire and the de- licatessen store, with its cooked meats. has made inroads on the kitchen.
 It seems to me that the young women of today are to be congratulated upon the existence of conditions which are admira- ble for female bachelors but view with some disquiet the effects or present con ditions upon these young women when they become wives anu mothers.

 This question attacks this country. in its vitals It is the most important ques- tion of the day It affects all classes It will not be recognized until too late, and all because in the greed for gain which has become the besetting passion of our rich men they do not appreciate the storm they are brewing for their decend- ants.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Often the mosquito is a harmless fel- low, so far as the consequences of his bite go, but occasionally he is of a variety that carries malaria germs, and it is this fellow that Brooklynites are warned to look out for. How can he be told? Quite easily-that is, if he doesn't light upon the back of your neck or on the top of your head, where you can't see him.
 A well known uptown physician was talking with an Eagle reporter about mosquitoes last night and he said some very interesting things.
 What teaches mosquitoes to bite peo- ple," he said, puzzles me. For every blood there must be millions who don't. a million that he can get a good meal by I believe that mosquitoes will tackle any, thing they can get their bills ipto-plants, shrubs and the like-and that those who cannot get blood live on moisture sucked from vegetable growths.
 'The stinging apparatus of a mosquito Is wonderful piece of mechanism. It Is built in four or five parts and has little saw-lilxe arrangement that enables him to puncture human skin. That takes q pretty strong instrument, for skin is fair ly tough. I imagine. however. that the mosquito does not do any more work than he is compelled to, and usually looks around for a convenient pore in the skin which enables him to Insert his bill into the flesh with: greater ease.

 There are many who will say, 'Never Tn the history of the world were commodi- tles, once held to be exclusively made for the enjoyment of the rich, so heap, so attainable by all." That is only in a measure true. When the actual necessities or life are beyond the earning power of men, the luxuries, however low in price. are still unattainable.

LABOR AND DPOTATOES
BY HON. MAURICE M. HINTON.

It must be admitted at the outset that no argument based on local conditions is sound as a general. rule; yet, when 1t is applicable to millions it is worth more than passing consideration. In the great cities of the East, work on great improve ments done under contract yields the la borer at the rate of 15 cents an hour or @ a week; and in the same cities pota- toes are today valued at s5.50 barrel and coal at s550 ton. Compelled by Cir cumstances to buy these staples at prices which add 50 per cent. to the price. po- tatoes cost about s7.75 barrel and coal S,75 ton.
 The spotatoe with the ends of meat or mutton, and carrot and an onion, form the main food for thousands of families. When potatoes are dear it Is a calamity. It is worse than dear bread.
 One cannot consider the welfare of the toiling masses in great cities without comparing wages with what wages pro cure. There Is a vast amount of talk in certain circles in the great cities of New York, Boston and Philadelphia about fiiere being few unimployed laborers.
 Hard facts affecting the condition of la boring people are suppressed. They do not come up to break through the gilded crust They are held back

mind, accounts for the fact that mos- quito usually alights in two or three places before he makes a bite. He is looking for good place. Pretty good eyesight, eh?
 When mosquito bites you the first thing he does after getting his bill in- serted is to inject his poison into the flesh just under the skin. This poison, which acts very quickly, has the effect of thinning the blood in the immediate vicinity of the bite, thus enabling him to suck 1t through his bill into his body. Human blood fit were not thus diluted. would be too thick for him to absorb. As a consequence of this fact 1t is better to let mosquito finish biting you after he has once started in. That is because be- fore he gets through he sucks out some or the poison that he has injected and leaves less to cause irritation after he is gone.
 There is popular theory that a mosquito can bite a human being but once; that the blood he absorbs ferments in a few hours and destroys him. That is not so. The mosquito seems to be able to digest his meal quite well. have kept one in bottle and allowed him to bite me dozen times and each time he made as good meal as the first one
 Did you know that there are two kinds of mosquitoes. one harmless and the other dangerous? I mean dangerous in the sense that he is able to inoculate you with malaria. We'll, it is so, and If you observe mosquito carefully when he is at work you can tell the difference The harmless mosquito and the other kind look alike. but they have different methods.
 When the non-malaria mosquito is at rest or at work he stands on all six legs. with his body poised parallel to the surface upon which he has alighted. His

 bill Juts downward at an angle from his body and he maintains this position until he has finished his task
 The malaria-breeding mosquito. how ever, Is not satisfied with this restful pos- ture. He seems to be more ferocious and wants to get close to his work. When he alights he throws his head downward and his body up. so that his rearmost pair of legs are sticking up in the air unsupport- ed. His bill sticks up in a straight line from his body and he shoves 1t in as far as he can get 1t. Just notice the next time a mosquito bites you and you will be able to tell what kind he is. Of course, you will not always get malaria from the misunderstanding mosquito, but you are apt to if your system is in a receptive condition for the disease.
 What would happen to a man if a mos- quito was as big as a chicken? I give 1t up. but I'd hate to be the man. A mos- quito's poison, considering the small ouan- tity of 1t that he injects, is very virulent. It raises a lump in a minute or two, and the irritation is considerable Some peo- pie suffer much more from mosquito bites than others, but, generally speaking, a mosquito can raise a lump on almost any body"
