'coWED BY MOSQUITOES.
A ciergyman's Experience on British
Columbia Trip.

A clersyman's Experience on British
Columbia Trip.
In 1860 the Rev. John Sheepshanks,>
later on the bishop Of Norwich, was
travelling through British Columbia.
His book, "a Bishop In the Rough"
relates his experiences on the Douglas
trail, where the greatest discomfort
was caused by the swarms of ferocious
MOSQUITOES. He met with Indians COW
cred with paint, carrying branches OF
trees in their hands, which they were
sweeping around them as they walked.
They were evacuating their country,
being temporarily driven out by these
pests If by chance a traveller arrived
at clearing or an open space where
there appeared to be an immunity
from them, ere long they would ap-
pear.
"Quite early in the morning after
meeting those Indians l issued from
my tent and found an open space on
the rivers side where could get my
bath. But no sooner had I emerged
from the water than I found swarms
of mosquitoes assailing me, and, do
what3I would, slaughter them by doz-
ems, / suffered severely.
ut was on that same day, dining at
a wayside house. that took part In
scene which l can never forget. There
were twenty five men going up to the
mines. Food was on the table. There
was a ceaseless hum in the apartment,
for it was literally brown with thou
sands of mosquitoes.
cit was swelteringly hot, yet every
man had made himself as impervious
as he could. Each man wore his coat
buttoned up, strings were fastened
round his cuffs. and trousers also II he
had not on top boots. They had gaunt-
lets on their hands. their hats were on
and wells hanging down covered face
and neck. A man would stick his fork
into piece of meat and pop in under
the veil as quickly as possible. When
drinking their coffee the men would
hold the cup underneath the veil. first
clearing out the bodies Of the mosqui-
toes which possibly had been feeding
upon the hairy miner close at hand.
mot word was uttered during that
brief meal. for we were beaten down
and cowed by the insects. The first
words spoken were by miner in push
ing away his chair from the table, oh
this God forsaken country"
Three Tightwads.
Speaking of tightwads, Texas pa
per says: 1t is reported that three OF
the stingiest men in the state were In
town yesterday. One Of them will not
drink as much water as he wants I'M
less it is from another mans we'll. The
second forbids any of his family from
writing anything but a small hand. as
It is a waste Of ink to make large let
tiers. The third stops his clock at
night in order to save wear and tear
on the machinery. Ali Of them decline
to take their county paper on the
ground that it is q terrible strain on
their spectacles to read newspapers
even In the daytime.

PINKERToN,s CHARITY.
Why He Gave the Fellow Who Lost

Ra1kerton was walking home from the
EiElb, after fine dinner that put him
Sqh good terms with himself and with
tho world, when he was accosted by a
kig, burly chap who requested finan-
Eial assistance.
! "Say, mister, can't ye help pore
9eller what's lost his leg?" the beggar
hRhined as Pinkerton passed along.
''Lost a leg2" retorted Pinkerton,
Rying the man suspiciously. why,
you have two legs, haven't your"
STo all appearances the man certain
II had
P'Yes, sir" returned the beggar, with
q mournful smile that stirred Pinker-
toms heart. 1--WE got two of 'em left,
sir. but my best one-ah, that is gone
foreverl l lost it in a railway acct
dent, sir"
"For heavens sake, what were you
Before this catastrophe happened,
cried Pinkerton-"a centipedW
mo, sir; just a plain, ordinary hu-
man bein', sir. The leg l lost sir, was
a wooden one, sir, and it used to ex-
cite lot of sympathy when l got it

30 me, that leg was, but, now it's gone,
I'm the dead brokest beggar in ninety
seven counties" explained the beggar.
sWhereupon Pinkerton gave the fell
Bow a dollar. This at first seems an
sxtravagant sum to give to man like
hhat, but in this case It was not so, for
Pinkerton is a writer by trade, and he
knew he could put the incident into
words and sell It to some editor for
