The Mosquitoes that Infest the
Region of Lake Nyassa.
In his book From the Cape to
Cairo" E. s. Grogan writes: The
Kungu fly, which Is peculiar to Lake
Nyassa, resembles small May flies,
and at certain seasons of the year they
rise from the water in such stupendous
clouds that they blot out the whole
horizon. Seen in the distance they
have exactly the appearance of a rain
storm coming across the lake. When
they are blown landward they make
every place uninhabitable by the
stencil which arises from the countless
millions that lodge and die on every
inch of sheltered ground. I myself
have seen them lying n foot deep IN
a room, and I was told that they are
often much worse. The natives sweep
them up and makes CAKES of them.
Biting and poisonous ants are an
other pest, but the mosquito is the
great enemy Of man. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary to turn in half an
hour before sunset and to make all
, the preparations for the night. | piled
all my belongings round the edge OF
my net and kept a green wood fire
{ burning at each end, and then I lay
inside, smoked the native tobacco and
prayed for morning. AS soon as the
sun went down the mosquitoes started
operations.
'It was like having tame whirl-
wind in ones tent. They could not
possibly have been worse. Every night

Harper rising finally, desired to be

CUNNING OF MUsKRATs.
Foresight with which These AMI
mails RuiId Winter Homes.

In the month Of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow around
the heads Of the creeks and about the
airholes in the thick ice may be seen
the curious trail Of the muskrat. 1t
can readily be recognized by the firmly
splanted footmarks, heavily and slowly
Impressed and the sharp after drag Of
the long, scaly, bladelike tail. All
through the cold winter months these
heavily furred animals have lived
warm and comfortable in their well
constructed houses, rearing their third
and last litter. One house erected
about September seemed planned with
almost human foresight. Here, with
their long sharp teeth and strong, inch
long claws, they had cut and cleared
wide paths through all the marshes
paths SO deep that three feet of ice did
mot close them, so wide that we have
often padded along them, marveling
at the great floating masses of torn up
aquatic vegetation. These paths were
a hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through a mass of
tangled co~er high enough in most
places to thoroughly conceal duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
from their houses into these under ice
channels, and the whole marsh is be-
fore them to choose their meal from.
The long yellow roots Of the flag and
che juicy tubers Of the wild onion (the
muskrat apple is the more poetic Ojib-
way) hang exposed before them or are
readily torn out.--Bonnycastle Dale In

The traveller had turned his face from

the mouth betrayed a new emotion as he

this thing 50 well known to the news

as we have noticed it presented:
1T is pity people generally do
not recognize the value of a newspa-

want anything, no matter what it is,
by spending 70 or 30 cents in news
paper that has a good circulation,
you can get it and often save ten
times the cost of the 'ad. " The En-

more strayed stock, and rented more

To The. Citizens and Voters Of
GREENE COUNTY aie.

E Il ana again before the people of
Greene County for the office of Sher-
iii and Tax Collector, and hereby so,
Hcit the vote and support of all the
citizens of said county. In coming
before you again and asking for this
important position | do SO fully real
izing the great responsibility resting
upon each and every individual hold
ing a public trust. Also realizing
that all such trusts should be filed
by men of unimpeacbable character;
men who will go forward in the earn
est discharge of duty without fear of
criticism; men who will without prejE
udice or partiality discharge their
whole duty in an honest, honorable
and upright manner with equal rights
to all.
And now in my estimation, is a
grand time Chat is during the coming
campaign for a thorough sitting
and airing of character of those polit-
ically inclined; therefore / think it is
the. duty-of the citizens Of any Coun-
ty, State, or Government to dill
gently consider these things and
place the public trusts upon the
shoulders of men who measure up to
the standard of morality and virtue,
These are some of my sentiments
as to what a man should be to make
him eligible to public offices. 2
As to promises ] have only one to
make, aud that is this. if elected to
the important Office to which aspire,
| will with all the power that God has
given me, discharge the duties of said
Office in a Jealous, honorable and up
right manner, il possible that will
meet the approval of the masses of
the people. And now in conclusion,

vantage of this opportunity to thank
you in advance for your vote and in
fuence.
