FIGHTING MOSQUITOES.

Consul General Richard Guenther, at
Frankfort, Germany, has sent an in
teresting report to the Department of
Commerce and Labor about Fighting
Mosquitoes in Germany" 1t reads:
Professor Fluegge, president of the
hygienic institute at Breslau, has sent
the following circular to the owners
and managers of dwellings in one of
the districts of that city:
The common council has resolved to
fight in a systematic manner the mos
quito plague, which prevails every
year. and the plan for the purpose has
been worked out at this institute. 1t

the mosquitoes which pass the winter
in the cellars and easements of houses.
These cellar and basement mosquitoes
will be destroyed by municipal experts
without inconvenience to the people
and without injury TO property. In Or
der to make it possible TO carry out
the plan successfully, we respectfully
request the admittance of the dlslnT
fectors TO the cellars of houses and
permission for them to take the steps
necessary to kill the mosquitoes. The
disinfectors will have Identification
cards.
According to the Silesian Gazette
the plan for fighting the mosquito
plague is to be worked out in two d.
rections. The alternating mosquitoes,
which are almost always found in the
cellars of houses adjoining unoccupied
territory. parks. gardens. etc, must be
killed These are found in somewhat
damp cellars, facing north. and are
recognizable with difficulty by those
not experts, but cover the ceilings by
thousands. In the spring they leave
and lay their eggs in water. the larvae
producing mosquitoes within three to
four weeks. A supplemental effort will
be made to destroy the larvae, which
are found principally in stagnant,
shallow pools. These must be either
filled in or treated with malachite

Another Treasury Raid.

1t seems that my venerable and Wit
riolic friend, General Charles Henry
Grosvenor of Ohio, is preparing for a
big raid on the federal treasury. The
best evidence is the following dispatch,
published in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat a stanch Republican paper:
Washington, June 1s.-The ship subsidy
campaign for the next session of congress
has been opened. General Charles Gros-
venor of Ohio announces a resumption of
the efforts to get a subsidy measure, in
letters appealing for support for this leg
islation. These letters promise copies of
a Grosvenor speech and of the bill TO fol-

cannot hold two consecutive terms SO
long as the present constitution en-

Drake constitution, adopted in 1860
and superseded by the present consti-
tuition in 1875, that a governor of Mis-
souri, could succeed himself. Under
the Drake constitution the guberna-
torial term was only two years Under
all other constitutions the term has
been and Is four years. It IS an interest

Gently jumped on congressman most
vigorously, but too universally He is
supporting Congressman Scott for re-
election against Henry Allen for the
queer reason that Scott by reason of
serving four years in congress is al
ready spoiled and that he does NOT
want to see the good Allen spoiled by
being sent to Washington. Now, | am
not saying whether Scott is spoiled or
not, though for a Republican he APP
pears to me to be a very decent and
amiable sort of person. But Brother
Whites intimation that all men who
go to congress are spoiled is not true.
His charge is a sort of poetic license,
though | am not certain that Brother
White has ever followed the example
of Silas Wegg and dropped into poetry.
There are good congressman and bad
more good ones than bad, / am glad to
say. There are spoiled ones and un-
spoiled-more of the latter than the
former. Taken by large and small, it
may be well doubted whether. num-

tious body of Americans extant. Most
of them do their duty faithfully and

The President and Anaora Goats.

Hon James Wilson, secretary of
agriculture, is a goat enthusiast. which

shire, nameless here forever more, IS

welt the following epistle:

costing the average New Hampshire pas

scribed In way that led me to hope they
might even effect saving in blasting

farming hereabout.

When pursued, their rapidity of move

Politics In Arkansas.

Down in Arkansas there is some
thing doing in politics. Governor jeff
Davis is hotfoot after the senatorial
toga which has adorned the shoulders
of Hon. James H. Berry for score
of years and which the latter desires
to wear through another term; hence
he objects most vigorously to Jeff's eff
forts to disrobe him. Governor Davis
proposes to open the campaign on the
ever glorious Fourth, though the Rri
maries are nine months in the future,
and when he stands up before "the
Red Necks and Hill Billies," by which
peculiar terms of endearment he calls
his followers, things political will be-
gin to sizzle. In fact, they have al
ready begun, for the governor and SEN
ator have been carrying on a most
acrimonious correspondence through
the public press Consequently every
body from the Missouri line to Louisi-
ana and from the Indian Territory to
the Mississippi is on the qui vive. 1t
doth not vet appear with which lies
the advantage Senator Berry is popu-
lar and points with pride to his record
as soldier, schoolteacher, lawyer, leg
islator, judge, governor and senator of
the United States. His friends are
devoted and enthusiastic So are those
Of Governor Davis. These latter shout
for him and point with rapturous de-
light to the wreck he has made of
precedents Not long since Governor

er Clarke is helping Davis I do not
know. Anyway Berry is tougher
