The MOSQUITO Plant.

The mosquito plant" species of ba'
sill, is attracting a great deal Of atten'
ton in England just now. An army
officer who secured one of these plants
In Nigeria says it is we'll known as a
MOSQUITO defense there, and the ma
tiyes use an infusion of its leaves to
cure malarial fevers. AS soon as a
hedge of this shrub was planted about
the Victoria gardens, Bombay, India,
the workmen, who had previously been
almost unable to work because of the
swarms of mosquitoes, had no further
trouble with either these pests or the
scourge of malaria from which they
had been suffering.

DRESS WITH MUCH TASTE,
British House of Commons Is the Beet
CARRIED Body in the World.

CARRIED Body in the World.
Taking 1t all round the House of
Commons Is the best dressed assembly
In the world. 1t has an air of good
breeding, OF men accustomed to draw
ing-rooms and good society. The gen.
eral department comes up to a fairly
high average. You see honorable
members wearing their hats in the
house and the sight offends, but that
Is not point Of manners, but a Gus
tom with a picturesque history at the
back of 1t. You sometimes, too, see
honorable members asleep and you
often hear unmannerly Interruptions
from the Irish and tory benches. On
the other hand. you never see an En-
glish M. p, as l have often seen an
American Congressman, enjoying the
luxury of dry smoke" and relieving
himself by profuse splitting
The House. too, Is much more pune
dlious than Congress on the small
points of order. Whenever a member
violates them he is instantly hauled
up, not merely by the speaker, but by
his fellow members, to many of whom
1t Is part of the spice of life to pounce
upon offenders. AS for the oratoricaI
standard of the House 1t Is difficult to
speak with precision. The late EN-
press Of Austria used to say that she
saw more good and more bad riding In
the English shires than anywhere else
in the world. Much the same sort of
criticism might be passed ON parlia-
mentary eloquence. Some of 1t is ex-
ceedingly good, better, l think than
anything one is likely to hear in Con
gress, but much OF 1t is atrocious On
the whole, In this, as in many other
spheres of Anglo-American compare
tives. l should be inclined to say that,
while the House OF Commons best Is
better than the Congressional best,
the House of Commons average is be-
low the Congressional ayerage.-Har-
per's Weekly.

moving, perhaps a living, thing, going
without any visible means of propul-
sion; and in his strict attention to the
new sensation at the tip of his nose he
will take no notice of the car or of the
