Magistrates Small Fee.

While Judge Nero Pitchford was a
magistrate many years ago he was
blowing about half mile from home
when one of his children came out
and announced that a neighbor was
at the house wanting to see him on
important business. The weeds were
about to outgrow the corn, but he
climbed large hill, and was about
worn out when he reached the house.
The neighbours wants were made
known, after much urging, two hours
after the judge arrived. After hear
ing the trouble deliberately ex-
planned the judge gave him some adj
vice and started to return to hia
work.
The neighbor said Hold on. How
much do [ owe you?"
The judge told him that he did not
make any charge, as the law would
not allow it.
"WeI,' said the gentleman, after
studying few moments, heres a
nickel. L guess that will about pay
you for your trouble
The judge told him lie guessed it
would and went back to the distant
bottom to take out his horse, for ii
was then night.-Scootsyiile (Ky.l

FOE OF MOSQUITOES.
The Agamom ermis Culicis May Be
Propagated to Exterminate
the Insect Pest.

Summer resorcers have read with
interest of the discovery by DR..
Charles Wardell Stiles ola mosquito
destroyer. The new enemy of the pest
of New Jersey is not armored and car.
ries no torpedoes. It is an innofen-
sive threadworm about a quarter of
an inch in length and of the fneness
of a filament of silk
The honor of tracking him home
belongs to Prof. John B. Smith. state
entomologist of New Jersey, who last
year sent to DR.. Stiles, of the Public

ton. The solution of the matter will
be to induce the mosquito to eat the
egg.
''Once there was man." said Prof:
Smith in his laboratory in Rutgers
college, New Brunswick. who adver-
tised a remarkable poison for the ex-
termination Of potato bugs. The first
direction he gave was to catch the bug
and then he advised that as much of
the poison as necessary be forced
down the insects throat. When I sent
the two specimens to Dr. Stiles I did
not anticipate the possibility of ex
terminating the mosquito in a whole
sale fashion. In fact, l had not named
the worm. DR.. Stiles knows much
more about worms than I do and l
see that he has given the creature the
title of agamomermis culicis.
CAS- to the origin Of this creature we
must confess that l have no informa-
ton. l found fe wof the parasites
in the mosquitoes last year. The mos
quitoes this season have more. Sta
tistics which | am gathering from va.
rious parts Of the state show that in
some localities ten per cent of the
pests are infected by parasites, and
one lot which I received this morning
from Cape May had 81 infected mos,
quitoes out of Isl.
Il think that owing to the many
eggs which the worm lays, next year
the mosquitoes will be fewer. It In
cies become SO numerous as to be
troublesome it's enemy attacks it with
great vigor.
"Now that is the way it Is this year
with mosquitoes. They have multi
piled so that there is no peace, and
the threadworms are after them. It
is the female mosquito only that bites
human beings, and these thread
worms prevent them from so doing
This whole question which has
been raised by DR.. Stiles is so new
that cannot at the present pass upon
the feasibility Of propagating thread
worms. | think, however, that some
thing of the kind might be done. Eggs
OF the worms could be sown in the
breeding places of mosquitoes. They
would hatch out thread worms, which
in turn would la yGhousands of eggs
each. These eggs, taken up by the
young mosquitoes, might greatly re-
duce the pest. IN. Y. Herald.

REST.

There is little grove beside the hill
Where aspens shake and thrill,
With silver stems beneath their glimmer-
ing green
Against the pines dark screen.
And all day long the rain unceasing
Weaves,
Ripples of light among their trenulous
leaves,
And all day long the moss against their
feet
Tufted and starred, and sweet
FLASHES in Pickering splendor with the
crown
OF diamond drops swept down.
Through pillared arches or the, forest
aisles,
Sacred untrOdden miles,
The voiceless throngs in this Gods temple
dim
Bow to the rains soft hymn;
Walls on whose pile nor axe nor hammer
wrought
The Master-builder's thought,
Unchiseled font and granite altar stair
Wait on the worthless prayer.
And overhead against a brooding sky
The priestly pine trees high
With lifted hands invoke on vale and
crest
1nf1nitudes of rest.
