There's nothing new under the sun.
The theory that mosquitoes transmit
disease is not recent development,
as many suppose. At late meeting
OF the Asiatic society, in Ceylon, Sir
Henry A. Blake, governor Of the

The women OF Sioux City have
started terrible crusade against
Sunday the ,tres and are strongly
assisted by the ministry in their
effort. AS is the case in large
cities, man, and especially a
workingman, usually is employed
during the week days and the on
ly time he has left for little re-
creation is on a Sunday; whilst
the woman, having every day in
the week for herself, can easily
miss Sundays amusement. 1t
seems that the daughters of Eva
have an idea that man was born
to labor and toll and nothing else.

The house of lords was composed
chiefly Of clerics until the time Of Ed
ward III. Thus in 1895 the peers were
ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay mem
bers, including twenty archbishOps and
bishops, sixty-seven abbots and priors
and three masters of orders. Many
clerical dignitaries summoned did not
attend at Westminster, refusing to rec
ognze the authority of parliament over
their own convocations of Canterbury
and York. 1t was partly from this
cause that the lords spiritual decreased
in number until early in the reign OF
