Entomologist L. o. Howard Of the De
pertinent of Agriculture says that the
enormous increase III the number OF
mosquitoes in the country, particularly
epidemic along the north Atlantic coast,
is attributable to the heavily rains Of this
spring and summer As a result Of this
unusual precipitation there are surface
pools all over the country, which largely
increases the breeding places for the mos
quitoes. Dr. Howard said that there are
many Natural enemies OF the mosqui'
toes. but not one has yet been discovered
that can be practically utilized IN the ex-
termination Of the pest.

The government made a profit Of $751;

factnre of stamp books. This Is the profit
on the book itself. regardless Of the
stamps which it contains. 1t is the profit
on the cost Of making the two paper
covers and the parafin paper leaves
which keep the stamps from sticking to-
gether. The books are sold for a cent
each-that Is. a cent more than the face
value Of the stamps contained. Last year

At conference of ministers of one
of the smaller American denominations
the question of the insuificiency of
some of the salaries was being argued.
One brother who was stationed at a
mission post made strong plea for an
increase in salary. ITO properly pro-
vide my family with the necessities"
he said, ''is a serious problem" 'How
many children have you?" asked a
sympathetic brother of the cloth. II
have four boys. and each one has a
sister, was the prompt reply. Imme-
diately the sympathetic friend took the
floor. How is it possible that our
brother can provide even the barest
necessities for his eight children II

boys have the same sister"

Somebody has figured out that the
farm labor cost of bushel of wheat is
now 3 cents, as against IS cents some
forty years ago. Probably the smaller
figure is based on the labor cost on
large farms with large yields. The
labor cost Of an acre of wheat at the
average yield and on the average farm
would be considerably more than the
40 cents which the b cents per bushel
implies says the American Miller.

How Sleigh Bells Are Made.

THE making of sleigh bells is quite
an art" says an iron founder. The
little iron ball is too big to be put in
through the holes in the bell, and yet
it is inside. How did it get there? The
little iron ball is called the jinglet.
When you shake the sleigh bell it jim
giles. In making the bell the jinglet is
put inside little ball of mud, just the
shape Of the inside of the bell. Then
q mold is made, just the shape of the
outside Of the bell. This mud ball with
the jinglet inside is placed in the mold
Of The outside and the metal is poured
in, which fills up the space between
the ball and the mold.
"When the mold is taken off, you see
Il sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as it
is full of dirt The hot metal that the
bell is made of dries the dirt so that
it can be shaken out. After the dirt
is all shaken out of the holes in the
bell the little iron jinglet will still be
in the bell and will ring. 1t took a
good many years to think out how to
make sleigh hell"

The Mind of the Modern Actor.

The mind of the modern actor-we
speak, of course. of the many, not OF
ALLIES in his dancing legs, his side
splitting grimaces. his business" his
exaggerations of peculiar lives of to-
day. The mind thus devoted to the
lighter tasks of popularity, skipping
also from one authors jokes to those
of another on q moments notice, as its
possessor skips from town to town and
from stage to stage, is not mind that
can suddenly turn to the contemplation
and the study of Shakespeare with any
hope that the lines of the poet Will get
the better of the encounter. The actor
who is to play Shakespeare acceptably
must not frivol away his intellectual
dignity. One cannot sing Mary Had
a Little Lamb" with all the enthusi-
asm of his soul for 800 nights and
hope to be equal to the Magnifcat or
TIE Deum or Siegfried's Rhine journey
on the three hundred and first night.
The tasks to which the modern English
and American manager puts the Eng
fish and American actor have destroy
ed the old school Of Shakespeare ac-
tors. Now, we are not saying that
this is not for the best; that in the
processes of the evolution of the arts
the theatcr has not naturally become
what it is.-Harper's Weekly.

other is that Canadian who seems
always to hold brief against the Uni
