A RYBRID MOSQUITO.
Colonial Beach Progress.)

The public is informed that q
scientific" plan is on foot to hy-
bridize mosquitoes and 80 cross the
breeds of these pests as to give us
what certain latter-day scientists
term "Mule Mosquitoes" The plan
is to cross our native "skeeter" with
a South Sea fly. 1t is argued that
such a cross will produce an unpro-
life mule mosquito. This little
"crossing" business will cost not more
than few hundred million dollars,
and can be done perhaps in the
course of couple of csnturies-or
maybe in the course of just one hun
dred years. The new product (mule
mosquito) will possess all the biting,
buzzing, stinging, worrying, tantaliz.
ing, poisoning and tormenting facili-

EDUCATE THE EDUCATORS.

It is stated that one of the chief
purposes of the May educational
campaign, now in progress through
out the State, Is to educate the people
To the Importance of more liberal ap-
preparations for school purposes.
That Is eminently proper aud com-
mendable, and it is to be hoped that
the campaign will bear abundant
fruit. But before the taxpayers
become fully and properly receptive
to the lessons Of a campaign for a
more extensive and expensive public
school system, they are likely to
pause and enquire if the present
system is productive of effective and
satisfactory results commensurate
with the amount of money appro-
priated for it.
The campaign of education should
begin with the educators themselves.
and the first thing they should learn
is that for the practical affairs of life
it is better for boy to know few
things thoroughly than to have a
smattering of great many things
without an adequate knowledge of
any Of them. Apparently, the public
school system of the present day is
more showy than substantial. This
applies not only to the system in
Virginia, but to the system in other
States as well. The New York Herald
recently published some very strong
articles attacking the same defect in
the public school system of that
State, and the defect is probably uni.
versal throughout the country. With
a salutary reform of this character,
and the assurance of teaching fewer
things more thoroughly, the edu-
Gators that are leading the campaign
of educating the Taxpayers to loosen
their purse-strings in behalf of a
more liberal support of the public
school system of the State, would have
a strong claim to public considera-
tion and attention. on.-Index-Appesl.

POINTS FOR SMOKERS.
(Frora the Medical Rrief.l

Very few people are aware how
much harm is done to young men BY
the almost universal habit of cigar.
ette-smoking. The man who smokes
cigarettes has one always in his
mouth, and is continually inhalinp
nicotine until the system is saturated
with the poison.
The result of this practice is q
catarrhal condition of the nose,
throat and bronchial,a "a disordered and
very irritable state of the nerves, q
weak and rapid action of the heart
and digestion.
Thin, anaemic, weak, with clammy
hands stained with nicotine poison,
unstrung nerves and degenerated
muscles, the youth of the land go on
ignorantly suffering the consequences
of pernicious habit until attacks of
heart trouble, nervous prostration,
melancholia, etc., bring their condi-
tion to the attention Of the physician.
If man must smoke-and we
admit the charm of the habit to
those who have become accustomed
to its soothing infiuences-let him
choose mild cigar and have certain
set times for indulging. If he puts
a certain restraint upon himself from
the start in the matter of smoking he
will not overdo it, and there are few
men who can smoke more than three
cigars a day without injury.
