There is scarcely a cellar, in
region where mosquitoes are
found at all, that does not have
its winter population of impreg-
mated females-the males die in

the common house or rain barrel
mosquito, and the malaria car

house mosquito gets its name be-
cause of its tendency to get in
doors, and because its favorite
breeding places are found in or
about our dwellings. Rain bar

sewer basins, and even cess pools
answer equally we'll, and the
water contained in a broken cup
may develop a group of three or
four hundred. There is no place
too small and no water too foul
for this insect.

Canada, and even from across the
Atlantic, coming to the shores of the

England, who was Grand Master of
the English branch of the throne be-
fore he assembled the British throne.
The delegation will be headed by the
Earl of EnSton, now occupying the
highest position in the Great Priory
of England and Wales. The chief
officers of the Great Priory of Can
ada are expected to join their British
cousins on the western pilgrimage,
and the delegates will. ride in the pa
rade attirred in their gorgeous uni

of fabulous value. The Grand Mas
ter and his official family, represent
ing the Grand Encampment of the
United States, and the Grand Com
mander or his representative from
every grand jurisdiction in the Uni
ted States, will occupy positions Of
honor in the line. California Com
mandery and Golden Gate, the local
communicates will shine in their rich
