believed by many tribes of Indians.
The grandfather of all mosquitoes lived in the
neighborhood of Onondaga, N. Y. When he grew
hungry he would sally forth and eat an Indian
or two and pick his teeth with their ribs. The
Indians had no arms that would prevail against
this monster, they called upon the Holder of
Heavens to come down. Finding that he had
met his match in this person the mosquito flew
away. He flew around the great lake, turned
eastward, sought help from the witches that
inhabited the Green lake, and had reached Lake
Onondaga when his pursuer came up and killed
him.
As his blood poured forth on the sand each
drop became smaller mosquito. They gathered
about the Holder of the Heavens and stung him
so cruelty that he half repented the service he
had rendered to the Indians.
The Tuscaroras say that two of the mosquitoes
stood on opposite sides of the Seneca River and
slew all who passed Hiawatha killed them. A
reservation stone marks the place where the
Holder rested during his chase, and tracks were
until lately seen south of Syracuse alternated with
the footprints of the mosquito. These foot
prints were shaped like those of bird, and were
twenty inches long. These marks were revered
by the Indians for many years.

GSYVT is surprising how many people-well
l%SI born and presumably well bred-are
ksSsss guilty of the most flagrant breaches
1ssgssJ of good manners time after time, and
it is still more surprising how many
mistaken ideas of etiquette have gained currency
among people, who, while not "in society"-as
the phrase goes-certanly ought to know better
For instance, there is the question of who
should precede when entering a restaurant,
church or theatre, girl or her escort. "The
woman should enter first undoubtedly" insists
one. Not at all" snaps someone else-"the man
always goes first to find the seat"
