The bill of the mosquito is COM
pleX institution. 1t has blunt fork
at the head and is apparently gtoovel.
Working through the groove and pro
jecting from the angle Of the fork IS u
lance of perfect form sharpened with
q fine bevel. Beside it the most per-
feet lance looks like hand saw. On
either side of the lance two saws are
arranged, with the points fine and
sharp and the teeth well defined and
keen. The backs Of these saws play
against the lance. When the mosquito
alights, with its peculiar hum, it thrusts
its keen lance and then enlarges the
aperture with the two saws, which
play beside the lance until the forked
bill with its capillary arrangement for
pumping the blood can be inserted.
The saving process is what CRATES
upon the nerves of the victim and
causes him to strike wildly at the
sawyer.

"Among a lot of letters l received in

business man, there was one that in

that l couldn't read the signature.

was clear, but the signature was IL
legible. 1 don't know how many peo-
pie there are who write plainly enough
until they come to write their own
name and then write that blindly. |
suppose it is more from force of habit
than anything else, for they may be
otherwise the most careful people il

Every man should write his sigma
ture with perfect distinctncss, SO that
it can be read easily and without mis-
take by those unfamiliar with it, and
also as a mark of his own care and
exactness.
zone letter that received, its body
written, had its signature put on with
a hand stamp. l didn't know just
what to think of this, but it had at
least the merit of perfect plainness. -

Economy of Heat and Health.

The average humidity in artlfcially
heated houses is about 80 degrees; the
average temperature, 70 to IA degrees.
1t has been found by conclusive tests
that a room with a humidity Of 60
degrees and a temperature Of Go de-
grees seems warmer and more COM
Portable than a room of ~ degrees of
heat and humidity of 80 degrees. d..
Henry NJ. Smith says that if room at
6S degrees is not warm enough for any
healthy person it is because the humid
ity is too low, and water should be
evaporated to bring the moisture up to
the right degree. In other words, wa
ter instead of coal should be used to
make rooms comfortable when the
temperature has reached GS degrees.
AS water IS cheaper than coal, the rule
should become q popular one.-Chicage

A Clever Retort.

Sir William Fraser records q clever
retort made by Lord Adolphus Fitz
Clarence when in France in attendance
on the English queen. He met the
Prince de Joinville, who, as a French
admiral, professed to be patriotically
bellicose toward England in particular.
He said to Lord Adolphus in friendly
manner: ''You, my lord, and l are
seamen. l have had but one dream In
life-to command q smart French frig-
ate and to lay my own alongside Of an
English ship Of the same strength for
twenty minutes" Lord Adolphus re-
piled in a perfect spirit of courtesy,
81 think, sir, that ten would be enough"

GOVERNOR IS STUMPED
He Doesn't Know What to Do About
Silver Service.

The governors private office at 2
o'clock this afternoon looked like a
sample room for a si1verware drum
mer. But it wasn't. 1t was simply the
"silver service" agents for the battle
ship Kansas trying to sell the governor
$4,000 worth of plate.
This morning at 8 o'clock a half
dozen agents were sitting in the wait
ing rooms at the governors office look
ing for his excellency. When Secre-
tary John Smith informed them that
he would not be back until almost
noon, they fumed and tore around and
talked something about mot keeping
engagements When the governor
came in at 10 o'clock he told them that
he would see them this afternoon at 2.
'I dread the job," he remarked as
he started for lunch at half past IL.
What do 1 know about silver service
sets? OF course I know what looks
pretty and what does not, but so far as
picking out 5000 worth of silverware,
that is almost past me. But then I
guess 1 will do the best [ ean.'
A decision on which of the agents
will receive the plum will not be reach
ed for several days. The governor
says that after they all get through
with their talks, he will have to take
some time to decide.
Some of the bidders who were pres
ent this morning Were: Tiffany &
Company, New York; Mermod-Jaccard
Jewelry company, St. Louis; Edward
Vial, Wichita; J. F. Pritche, Chicago;
I. M. Blitz, Topeka.

KEEP COOL.
Sentiment Expressed by Newspapers
at St. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The Russ, the
Novoe Vremya and other Russian pa
pers today counsel patience for the brief
interval before the meeting of the peace
plenipotentiaries and dwell on the fu-
tility of attacking men of straw before
il is definitely known what terms the
japanese. propose.
The Russ says: m. Witte has def
mite instructions as to what demands
will be absolutely unacceptable and will
know what course to adopt if such de-
mandS are presented. We are ignorant
of the japanese proposals but will know
what they are in a few days. Mean
while let us watt
Discussing the supposition that a com
bination Of the powers might be formed
to exert pressure for the modifica ton of
extortionate Japanese demands, M.
Neratoff, the spokesman of the foreign
office, in an interview in the Gazetta
declares that however much such pro-
posal might be advantageous to other
powers, Russia never would be the
mover of such a project, as it believes
that all questions connected with the
settlement of the war should be decid-
ed directly between the two countries
interested. China, he said, had ad-
vanced no claim to compensa ton for
losses sustained on account of Man
churia being the theater of war but no
such claim would be considered.
Discussing the question of creden-
tials, NJ. Neratoff said that NJ. Witte' s
powers were greater than NJ. Witte
himself had stated and were equiv
alent to a full power of attorney, and
that Gin the conduct of the negotia-
| tions the plenipotentiary will appear
for the absolute master of the coun-
try who had confirmed the trust in
| him."
Nevertheless, M Witte, he said. had
| been instructed as to maximum OF
| concessions and if the japanese de-
mands exceeded these there would be
nothing to do but to break off the ne
| gotiations.
! The Sviet also declares that China
is without standing in court regarding
Manchurian damages, and that Russia
never will pay for the privilege OF
shedding her blood in a country to
which she was called by the boxer
outrage.
The Chinese minister at Paris has
arrived here. He had a conference III
Finland today with the minister to
! Russia Mr.. Ho.

ASKED FOR a PASS.
Startled Santa F'e OhfciaIs and She
Was Locked Up.

Because she asked for transDortaS
ton, Mrs. Charles Rigdon, wife of a
Santa Fe employe, was dragged into
the police station today by three couls
pany detectives, who were by no means
gentle in their treatment of the help-
less woman.
Mrs. Rigdon was seriously injured
by street car about. a year ago, and has
been in poor health since that time
Her husband. Charles Rfgdon, has
gone to Los Angeles, Cal, where he il
| employed by the Santa Fe company.
He told her before leaving that she
could get transportation and come to
him August 1. Today she called at
the Santa Fe offices and asked for q
pass. Her request was denied in the
department where her husband was
employed, and she went to the general
manager. Detectives were sent for.
and the woman was dragged to the
police station, where she was hastily
released by the city officers. ''She has
committed no crime said Sergeant
Gardiner, "and I won't allow her to be
locked up just because Santa Fe de-
tectives dragged her in here
Mrs. RigdOn is totally deaf, and in
consequence of her aff1iction and ex-
treme nervousness. the result of her
accident year ago, has something of
the appearance of a demented person.
It is evident that the railroad officials
were afraid of the delicate little wo-
man, and called in the com pany- de-
tectives. At the police station She
wept over her treatment and exhibited

the valiant detective.

Telegraph Operators on Great North
ern Out of Job.

st. Paul, Aug. differences be-
tween the Great Northern railway and
its telegraphers reached a climax to-
day wnen nearly all the operators on
the Wilmar, Fergus Falls, and Breck-
enridge divisions quit their places.
The men claim it is a lockout by the
road, because they will not accept the
terms offered them. The company
claims that 80 per cent. of the men are
satisfied. In a circular to its employees
the company proposes a schedule OF
wages which it claims gives an in
crease to the men amounting to $780,
600 annually. The men, on the other
hand, claim this increase amounts to
only $1,000 or $4,000 year, for about
a thousand men.
The men were asked to decide
whether they wished to continue in the
company's service and be governed by
it's new rules and regulations. When
the men refused to accept the PROPOSE
ton they claim they were at once dis
charged. President Perham of the
telegraphers' union said today: But
one man has failed u.s. Elsewhere
they have gone out uniformly.
want to make it clear that this is not
a strike but lockout"
"A statement issued by the road says
in part: "All of the points at issue
between the men and the company
have been satisfactorily adjusted with
one eXcepClOn. 1nlS Is d Tulc SONSiA-
ing the payment of overtime at spe-
cial rates for Sunday work.
"In view of the fact that it has been
impossible for the officials of the COM
pany and mem berS of the telegrapherS'
committee to reconcile this difference,
it was decided to prepare a schedule of
rules and regulations which, with only
this exception, embodied concessions
made to the committee. Copies of the
new schedule and a list of the new
rates of pay have been sent out to the
various divisions, the men on the line
being requested to signify their inten-
tions as to accepting without the con-
currence of the telegraphers' commit
tee. The canvass of the telegraphers
| on the system so far indicates that ap-
proximately 80 per cent. of them on
the line are entirely satisfied with the
new rules and rates. 1t is expected
there will be no difficulty in maintain
! ing a regular and satisfactory traffic
over the company's lines"

er to the Department.
Commissioner Warner Thought
He Must Be Crazy.
A EXAMINING BOARD
Is Sent to Inquire Into State of
His Mind.
Found That He Had Merely Be-
come Christian Scientist.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Commissioner
of Pensions Vespasian Warner recent
ly directed medical board to examine
a man named Kyse to determine
whether the latter is in his right
mind. Kyse, who had been drawing a
pension for a number of years, re-
turned his voucher for $50, the
amount of his pension for the last
quarter, in a letter in which he stated
he was not entitled to a pension.
This was such an unusual proceed
ing that the commissioner naturally
thought he was unbalanced mentally,
and sent a board of physicians to look
over the man who had voluntarily sur
rendered his pension.
The members of the board found
Kyse was in his right mind and that
he was also in excellent physical
health. When asked why he had sur
rendered his pension Kyse replied
when it was granted he was entitled
to it. as his health was poor, but some
time ago he became a member of the
Christian Science church, and since
then all his infirmities have disap-
peared, so he did not feel he could
longer accept the pension. The money
was turned into the treasury.

NO TIME FOR PEACE.
Japanese People Said to Oppose End
ing the War Now.

New York, Aug 1.-Nasujiro Ishi-
kawa, editor of the Hachi Shimbun of
Toxic, one of the men officially accom-
panying Komura. the Japanese peace
envoy, gave out an interview today
in which he outlined what he declared
to be the popular feeling in Japan re-
garding peace terms.
My people feel that this is no time
for peace, that it is too early" he
said. First, we must get Harbin and
Nladivostok, for unless we get them
we fear that by and by we shall have
to fight again We must stop Russian
ambition, once for all. We do not
wish to fight the Russians again, once
peace has been concluded
On the question of indemnity. Mr..
lshlkawa said that the very smallest
sum his people would be willing to
consider was s75O.0OO.O0O. the actual
cost of the war so far. but that some
demanded as high as $2.50O,00O.0 900.
He himself thought the people would
be satisfied with $500, 100000.
Then Sakhalin must be ceded, for
two reasons he continued. 'In the
first place, it was exchanged by Rus
sia thirty years ago for the Chishima
archipelago, but these other islands
really belonged all the time to Japan,
and it was only because Japan was at
that time afraid of Russia that the
deal was assented to-"
