He Proved IL.

As skipper who fears neither
winds, waves nor men, the commander
OF the Shenandoah is as we'll known
among seafaring people as his big. full
rigged ship, one Of the largest sailing
vessels under American colors. He
has pulled through shipwreck, mutiny
and other perils of the deep with glory
except on one notable occasion. of
which the New York Tribune tells. On
that occasion one gun was temporarily
silenced.
He was making trip from New
York to San Francisco and had shipped
a boatswain's mate, who also bore
something Of reputation. One day the
skipper ordered him aloft TO examine
a sail on the royal yard.
'Tain't safe, cap'nI" protested the
boatswain's mate. The foot-ropes has
got to be fixed fust."

tain. THE foot-ropes are all right. :
know they are"
The man went up. Five minutes later
he came tumbling down through the
rigging from the top of the mast, a
distance Of over one hundred feet.
With bang he landed on the belly
of the mainsail and bounded into one
Of the canvas-cOvered boats. The sail
ors, thinking him dead, crowded about
him in a circle. To their amazement
he sat up. His eyes wandered vacantly
about till they rested on the leathery
face Of the skipper, when they lighted
up with intelligence.
"Cap'n," he said slowly, "you was
mistaken about them foot-ropes"

JUSTICE TO THE DRAGON FLY.
Science and Mythology Agree He Is q
Natural Mosauito DESTROYER

Natural Mosquito Destroyer.
ApropOs of the recent discovery that
the dragon fly is destroyer of mos
quitOes and as such is entitled to all
the protection that can be extended.
1t is interesting to learn that the in
yestigatOrs and scientists of the Army
and Navy Hospital have been fore
stalled in this discovery by the ne
groes OF lower Louisiana. The dragon
fly is known under different names in
different section of the United States
In some sections it is known under the
name of snake DOCTOR" in others the
name of ''big-head fly" prevails, while
dragon fly is. perhaps, the most gen
eral designation under which this in
sect Is known. but in Louisiana it is
known as the mosquito hawk" to the
exclusion Of all other designations.
The name dragon fly" is unknown
In lower Louisiana. where the insect
has never been known under any other
name than that of mosquito hawk"
and where il is the object of what
many have considered myth. but
which. IN the light of recent investi-
cations. turns out to be n bit of good
sound reason and fact. For a long
time the negroes of that section have
clung to the belief that the mosquito
hawk is destroyer of mosquitoes,
and that to kill one is TO court mis-
fortune and ill-luck. 1t is said that this
was formerly the belief of the Alta
kapas Indians. tribe now extinct.
but which at one time occupied the
whole Of lower Louisiana. and that the
negroes received the myth from them.
At all events. the dragon fly is pro-
tected in Louisiana. just as in other
States people are not allowed to molest
the buzZard. They believe that the
mosquito hawk hovers about pools Of
water, capturing and devouring the
young mosquitoes as fast as they
emerge from the water, and, for that
reason. it is looked upon as a benefac-
tor to misunderstanding Post.
