Legend of n BOolr.

A quaint & I'd kindly legend, illustrat-
ing the sorrow devout Christians used
to feel for the pagaHlsm of their ia
vorite classic authors. is that Of st.
Cadoc and his Virgil. st. Cadoc, whose
day Is Jan. 24, was the son of a South
Welsh prince. who founded several
monasterles in Glamorganshire and
neighboring regions. but was driven
away to Brittany by the coming OF the
Saxons. There he was walking one
day with n copy of Virgil's poems In
his hand and wept TO think that Vir-
gil as a pagan might be In hell. An
ultra orthodox friend who was with
him severely reproved him for even
doubling the -. and a sudden gust
of wind carrie. the book out of Ca
docs hand into the sea. But that
night he heard In n dream a sweet
voice saying: Pray for me; weary not
in praying. I will sing the mercies OF
the Lord forever" And next day a
fisherman brought Cadoc Il fish inside
which the Virgil was found uninjured.

A YersatiIe Partsh Cleric

The ancient parish clerk in England
had many functions. Letters were not
so common in those days is today, and
the clerk was the learned mar OF the
community. One Of his functions was
writing e%pitaphs, but this was not the
sum Of his accomplishments, as may
be seen from the advertisement of John
Hopkins, clerk Of Salisbury in the
eighteenth century:
John Hopkins, parish clerk and under
taker, sells epitaphs OF all sorts and
prices. Slaves neat n plays the bas-
soon. Teeth drawn. and the Salisbury
Journal read gratis every Sunday morn

My wife ten years not much to my ease,
But now she Is dead in caelo quies.

The following tells of the MOSQUITO
and the alleged preference of that san.
culinary insect for colors and persons:
1t Is stated that the mosquitoes are
strongly Influenced in choosing their
victims by the color of their clothes.
In 1871 Spence found that a loose
fabric of white threads kept mosuui.
toes away much more effectively than
one of black threads. Jolly observed
in Madagascar that mosquitoes prefer
to alight on black soil rather than ON
white sandy soil, and rather on black
shoes and clothes than on white. The
natives Of Madagascar even SUSPEND
pieces of black fabric from the cell.
ings of their huts in order to attract
the mosquitoes to it. Jolly also found
that light dogs were tOrmcntcd less
by mosquitoes than black ones, no.
groes more than Europeans. Similar
observations were made in India. The
Englishmcn, Mutual and Shipley, found
that Anophclcs maCulipennis preferred
colors IN this order; Dark blue. dark
red. brown red. black, gray, olive gray
violet green, light gray, pearl gray,
pale gray. azure blue, ochre color
white, yellow. The malaria eXDert
Cali Valerie, director of the institute
for experimental hygiene and parasit.
Ology at the University of Lausanne.
Switzerland, confirms these facts in
his Manuel pour la lutte contre les
m~oustiques,' just published, as a result
- h;g ne oy,,rir,nt, .
that in experiments with the Ano.
pneles maculipennis and Anopheles
bifurcatus, 1l9 settled down on dark
colors and only 80 upon light ones.
Similar results We're obtained with
culeX pipiens and culeX a $40
preferred dark and only 1870 lighter
colOrS
Thus the chances Of the number of
mosquitoes bites may be decreased By
choosing light colOrs for our clothes,
but they can. not be avoided entirely.
1t is the same with all the remedies
used in the op"n air. Tobacco smoke
is the most efficient, but not at all in
fallible. C~amphorated vaseline and
other strongly smelling ointments
rubbed on the hands are only efica-
cious until the odor has e%vaporated,
which is done quickly on a hot day.
The only certain protection is a veil
of muslin gauze such as is worn by
the Italian railroad watchmcn and
soldiers in the malarial zones.
The most rational way is to wage
war against the larvae and eggs of
mosquitoes which they deposit in
swamps and stagnant waters. This Is
best done by means of a thin coating
with petroleum. This should be the
work of the municipalities of the state.
