1t is a fortunate thing that the bite OF the Amer-
can mosquito does not require the treatment recon-
mended for that of the English variety. In note
on English mosquitoes, Science Siftings' says
that the insect was first discovered IN 1863 at
Woolwich. when the trouble 1t caused almost
amounted to q scourge The main cause of it's
predominance at that time was thought to be the
hot weather. The English variety OF mosquito is
not mosquito proper. but a kind of gnat. 1t has
sting the result OF which is often blood poisoning
when the person stung has not taken proper pre-
cautions to modify the bite. When stung by a
mosquito the best thing to do at once is to battle
the bitten part with strong vinegar and lay on
bread poultices.
Think of the number Of bread poultces an even

The outlook for India brightens. A reduction Of
% cents in the salt tax will be welcomed by the
wretched peasants, who have suffered grevously
from this oppressive impost. They all need salt
but many of them have been too poor to buy it, be

mends that 100000 shall be lent every twelve
