Romance of a Farm

A romantic story, one in which a
number of stirring incidents are relat-
ed, is told of little farmhouse and
forty-seven acres of land that within
the last week have been turned over
to a great church organization for an
orphanage.
The property is located on the main
line of the Northwestern road, about
two hours out from Chicago, and ad-
Joins the little village of Nachusa. The
land was handed down from genera
ton to generation by family of the
name Of Dysart. BY a member of this
family 1t was originally taken up from
the government, and remained in the
family until 1t fell into the possession
Of Col. Alexander Dysart, who for
years was one of the best known citi-
Gems of this section. He was a man
of some eccentricities, but beloved by
the whole community. He raised a
family of sons, three Of whom became
engineers on the Northwestern road
and are now running trains. The colo
mel, during his lifetime, improved the
old home, which in early years was
but cabin, until it assumed the pro-
portions of fine country home. He

No Human Life There

The coast of Labrador is the edge
OF vast solitude of rocky hills, split
and blasted by the frosts and beaten
by the waves OF the Atlantic for un-
known ages. A grand headland, vel
low, brown and black in its nakedness,
is ever in sight, one to the north
or you and one to the south. Here
and there upon them are strips and
patches of pale green moses, lean
grasses and dwarf shrubbery. There
are no forests except in Hamilton
inlet. Occasionally miles of precipices
front the sea in which fancy may
roughly shape all the structures of
human art.
More frequent than headlands and
perpendicular sea fronts are the sea
slopes, often bald and tame, and then
the perfection of all that is pictur-
esque and rough. In the interior the
blue hills and stony wales that wind
up from among them from the sea
have a summerlike and pleasant air.
One finds himself peopling these re-
gions and dotting their hills, valleys
and wild shores with human habita-
lions, but a second thought, and a
mournful one it is, tells that no men
toll in the fields away there, no wom-

pine trees, and these for miles may be
seen from points along the road.
When the colonel was well along in
years he fell in love with a widow,
and against the wishes of his family
married her, only to be divorced in a
few years.
Within sight of the Dysart home
was the farm of Peter Durham, a
sturdy German, the father of an in.
dustrious family. Among the children
was daughter, Mary, who grew up to
be as pretty lass as could be found
in all Lee county. A farmers daugh.

farmers wife, marrying Henry
Shippert. Both husband and
wife had not one but several

fered for sale, Mrs. Shippert bought it.
Then she proposed to the Evangelical
church, Of which she is a member, to
convert the little farm into an orphan
age. The church accepted the charge
and only the other day the home of
the kindly old colonel was dedicated
to its noble purpose.

Ways of the Mosquito

That adult mosquitoes live through
the winter is evident to all who have
seen and felt them on the first warm
days of early spring, says writer in
the Literary Digest. Now we are told
in addition that larvae and even the
egg of the insect may survive great
cold. Says writer in the Revue
Scientifique:
1T is well known that mosquitoes
hibernate in the adult state; certain
number Of these vexatious insects
pass the winter in various retreats
in slaughter houses, granaries, cellars,
ETC., and in the spring they resume
active life and multiply their kind
Hibernation, however, does not always
take place in the adult form only;
the larvae can also pass the winter
with safety. This has been shown by
the observations of John B. Smith
made during the winter of 1901-1902
and at the end of 1902. The winter
cold does not regularly destroy

aquatic larvae. They will bear con.
siderable degree of it; they have been
seen surrounded with ice, the water
having frozen around them, and after
the melting of the solid envelope they
still lived. The same larvae may be
alternately frozen up and melted sew
eral times in the course of the win
ter. This is true of the culex pungens
and of several other species both of
culex and of anopheles, etc.
Certain species hibernate in the
adult state; others in the larval state
also; others still hibernate in the egg.
But many have alternating larvae;
with many the larvae pass the winter
under the ice, or in the ice. without
the least injury. It may easily be
seen that cold will not kill mosquitoes,
for numbers of polar explorers have
noted the abundance of the insects in
the regions of ice, and it is well
known that the mosquitoes are one
of the plaques of the summer in the
moist parts of Alaska.

The Flnsen Light Cure.


United States Consul Frazier of
Copenhagen, Denmark, reports that in
the Finsen Medical Light institute,
now state sanitarium, 1857 cases
had been treated up to May, 1903, by
the Finsen rays. OF these most were
lupus vulgaris. and in about 1000
cases the best results had been attain
ed, so that 'in most cases one may
count definitely upon a cure" to use
the official language. The doctors at
the institute are extremely conserva-
tive and never promise to effect
cure; but the records show that in a
majority Of the cases where sufferers
have been encouraged by being ad-
mitted as patients cures have been
effected. In the one case of the
American patients where the physi-
clans have not yet determined wheth-
er they can give relief. it appears the
patient is suffering from a rather
deep-seated cancer. but the Finsen
rays do not cure any but the most
superficial cancers.
