Malaria And Yellow JAek.

,tFrom Y. Y. Herald, January A, l992)
 "The widow of Dr. Laxeare, who, Ia the employ of the Government went to Cuba, was inoculated with Yellow Fever through mosquito bites, and died applied to Congress for relief to-day"
 The above tells of the sad eulmina- ton of q series of experiments by the Government, all of which proved con elusively that the familiar mosquito is q dangerous vehicle for carrying Malaria, "Yeilow Jack" and other ;nalariai levers.
 Those who are exposed to mosquitos should take warning. Nature provides a certain degree of resistance, which, when the bodily functions are in normal condition, is sufficient to ward oh dis ease but if any of the functions are lag eing. if there is weakness. there is dan ger. and particularly if the blood is im- pure or impoverished there Is great dan ger. If you would escape. keep the blood pure and properly nourished with Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. That IS ex- actly what 1t does, and has been doing for the last half-a-century. It is recog- nized everywhere as the best blood puri' fer and tonic in use. .n.,

 "The suggestion of The Lovers of All Flowers No 2, impresses me as most excellent plan. That is, weekly inspec- tioh Of yards; and then. the many varie- ties and beautiful flowers in bloom can be noted. Otherwise it may be the exam ination will be at such a time as yard is not at its best. I judge all by my own ya.d which contains a great number of rare plants M. R. C."
 There are many women who love how- chs and who have during their early lives grown flowers with more or less success, but who now live in city home with little or no yard, perhaps live in a flat. board. or in rented houses. These women need most of the cheer and brightness that plants give, Perhaps they on the, front piazza or few plants around the front of their houses. but the summer trip makes them sad failures, in place of the thing of beauty they were

 The remark is frequently made, Oh; this Is not our place. SO do not feel like having flowers to buy for the next occupants. This need not be the case, as your selection hust govern such cir curnstances. Select such plants as cacti. begonia, bulbs of lilies. hyacinths, anna ryciis. seeds of alyssum, candytutt, ver- benas, etc.
 "Cacti stands neglect. the hot sun and want of water for several days and will show no sign of bad treatment. In the winter they can be placed on stands or brackets making fine and unique decera- tion for the house, besides their blossom is among the most beautiful.

Gertrude Atherton's new volume will be
called 'The Splendid Idle Forties: Stories
OF Old California" Besides the stories
which were originally published under the
title of Before the Gringo Came" the
book will contain number Of new stories;
and will be illustrated by Harrison Fisher.
In its entirety the volume contains the
full social history of California under the
Spanish and Mexican rule. One or two
of the stories are true, the rest purely
imaginary, but all are accurate pictures,
true to the traditions and customs of the
times in those fine old days before the
Spanish were driven out Of California.
