The mosquito which injects yellow
fever with his proboscis bites by day
as we'll as by night and is called the
day or striped mosquito. 1t is found
chiefly in cities, where it breeds in any
chance receptacle of water. The eggs
are laid in standing water. and, al
though the receptacle may dry up. the
eggs do not dessicate. but will hatch as
soon as it again contains water. The
Larvae resemble those of other mosqui-
toes and are readily killed by kero-
sene film on the surface Of the water.

plimentary to Good Samaritan.
A Southern writer tells this story
OF a negro preachers version of the
parable of the Good Samaritan:
There was a traveller on a lonely
road, said the preacher, who was set
upon by thieves, robbed and left
wounded and helpless by the wayside.
AS he lay there various persons
passed him, but none offered to assist
him. Presently, however. poor Sa.
marian came by and taking pity on
the wounded mans plight, helped him
on his mule and took him to an inn,
where he ordered food and drink and
raiment for the man. directing the
innkeeper to send the bill to him.
And dis am true story, brethren"
concluded the preached; for de inn
am standtn' dere yet, and in de
doway am standin' de SHELTON OBJ de
mnkeeper, waitin fer de Good Sa.

nothing to complain of, all of our ships
now going out with cabins well filled.
We find no appreciable difference between
this year and 1903. But there are indica-

no cause to worry over the outlook"

due to the unreasonable weather. There
