THE WICKED MOSQUITO.

Nocturnal Visitant who Leaves Rage
and Bites In His Wake.
It Is our painful duty to call atten-
ton once again to the fact that the
mosquitoes are with us.
No sooner doth the grass begin to
peep forth from the ground and the
violets get hump on themselves than
there Is sound Of buZzing in the land.
From sundry swamps from odd pools
and from sluggish streams there arises
sound Of ominous import. Try as we
will we cannot escape that haunting
sound. There Is nothing else like it
in all the world. 1t is the forerunner
OF disaster
Who hath not lain awake at night
when the summer heat was terrific and
heard the soft hum Of the mosquito
as he fitted hither and yon in the dark
ness?
Who hath not wondered when the
pesky thing was going to alight? Who
hath not waited in fiendish delight to
let the insect get it's bill sunk deeply
into the skin, and then slapped savage
ly with intent to kill, only to find that
the mosquito had departed with his
bill full Of blood for other unprotected
spots?
Who hath not slapped himself almost
to death during a particularly trying
night and not landed one Of the vicious

With languid profusion he scattered

Wark OF School for Deaf.

The superintendent of the Wisconsin
school for the deaf at Delayan Is engag-
cd in work that requires the aid of his
entire staff of assistants. Two hundred
deaf and dumb boys and girls are being
returned to their homes for the summer
vacation. The school is in a fourishing
condition. Hundreds of bright boys and
girls sighted by nature have not only
been educated, but have been placed in
good positions. The manual training de-
partment has been productive of great
good, many of the graduates following
trades. The :chool has attracted the no.
tlce of philanthropists, who have extend

Boy Joins Sister In Death.

John Hankin, a 16-yearod boy en-
ployed on the farm Of William McKizer-
ger, near White Hall, shot and killed
himself in the presence Of his employer S
wife and her mother, because of despon-
dency caused by the death of his only
sister, beautiful girl. He witnessed
her death and remarked that there was
an :'easier say to die" Near midnight
he was found in the barn with loaded
revolver. As friends rushed upon him
to grasp the weapon he placed the muzzle
against his head and pulled the trigger.
Dashing the weapon TO the floor he was
heard to mutter his sisters name and
say. 1T is an easier way to die"

highly interesting. DR.. Brown is at the head OF
a large and perfectly equipped sanatorum at
North Adams, Mass, where two hundred pa
tents may be accommodated.
In speaking of the disease, Dr. Brown said to
a Tribune representative:
NO new discovery can ever offer more hope
for sufferers from cancer than exists to-day.
The average person has invested this disease
with certain atmosphere Of mystery and nope
lessness. He has pictured it in the darkest
colors as the unconquerable foe OF human
health, insidious and resistless.
"Becalling the immense progress in medicine IN
even the Last quarter of century, one might
quickly and with reason, dispose of these ideas
as relic of the superstitions of the Dark Ages,
vet no one can gainsay or deny the impressive
ness of figures showing the actual mortality
from cancer i'll these latter days. They tell with
the force of a sedgehammer blow that the
human dread of cancer is to great extent
warranted.

obtainable cancer is the cause of more than
one hundred thousand deaths in the United
States each year. Nowhere in the DOMAIN Oh

character of the disease seems to preclude the
possibility of solution of the question. The
general characteristics Of the disease have been
the same throughout all ages, but it has always
been looked upon Of the incurable dis
eases. In consequence Of this popular belief, II
has not received proper attention. The subject

Directly contrary to the knowledge Of the dis

in it's incipiency is always a local disease ana

1T invariably attacks persons who are other

sents premonitory symptoms, not even a slight

of malignant structural change that is micro

SAVE THE Soil. This is the time
of year to cast about how the land
may be improved aud saved. There
are two things with which we have
never learned to be economical
the soil and our health. We need
the spirit of Washington and
Jefferson as much in this respect
as in matters of government. Both
these gentlemen were scientific
farmers. Both loved the country,
the land, the soil, and it hurt them
to see it wear out or wash away.
1t was pleasure to the "Father
of His Country" or the Usage of
Monticello" to stop wash or fill a
gully. We must learn this. Land
is not so cheap now that it can be
worn out without thought. 1t
should bethe aim of every farmer
and every orchardist to leave his
land at the end of the year better
than the year before. This is
natures plan. She is growing
something each year by which the
soil is made better. We mnst
learn nature and let her have her
way in some things. The woods
and the fields are now covered with

and the trash in the field and use
