THE MOSQUITO IN LABRADOR.
Terrible Pest to Travellers and Ma
tives In the NorthIand.

No account of travel in Labrador
can be complete without some men,
ton of the terrible pest of mosquitoes.
These were always present in i'm
mense swarms from the beginning of
our trip to the end, and sometimes
they made life almost unbearable.
Nothing could be heard but their buzz.
zing. Whenever we attempted to eat
they were down our threats and in
our eyes and faces and in spite of our
head nets and fly dope we were always
badly bitten. The natives seemed to
mind them almost as much as we did,
their remedy being rancid seal oil. I
am satisfied that were one so unfortu-
nate as to be caught out at night
without protection, he would be either
crazy or dead by morning.
Our tents were provided with a fine
mesh bobbinet inner tent, but some
would always find their way inside
or come up from the ground. At times
our light so attracted them we went
outside to see if it were not raining,
Tor the constant tapping or the moSqui-
toes against the canvas sounded so
exactly like rain that it was impossible
to tell the difference.
On many nights / had to give up
the observation of stars for latitude
and longitude because a candle could
not be kept lit long enough to adjust
the artificial horizon. We unfortunate
ly had no chimney and the mosquitoes
swarmed so thickly that without this
protection the flame was quickly
smothered. There were but few
nights cool enough to afford US any re-
lief; we found that it required tenn
perature within a few degrees of actu-
al freezing to subdue them.-Forest

Still keeping firm hold on the
mans collar, Allerton swung him
around facing the door, when both
started back with a gasp of surprise.
A woman in long white dressing
gown stood facing them with a revolt

at them.
The crash of the falling bottle had

Don't you think I'd better be going,

Giving the mans collar vicious
twist, Allerton led him, followed by
Estelle and her pistol, into the dining
room, where he lighted the gas. The
burglar picked up his shoes, and, seat
ing himself on the window seat, swung
his feet out and prepared to jump
when Allerton should release his hold.
"Say," he said, when he felt himself
entirely free, you're couple of game

but hasn't got the sand to tell it."
With a low chuckle of delight the
burglar lodged vicious uppercut that
Allerton handed to him and dropping
quickly to the ground disappeared.
Allerton looked at the girl, who had
recovered from her fright.

Audubon park, in upper New York
city, has been regarded as a memorial
of John Audubon, the renowned nat
ura!ist, whose specially was ornitholo-
gy. There he lived in his own home
for long time, until his death, Janu-
airy 81, 1851, and there his wife died
20 years later. The naturalist expend-
ed much money to keep 1t a private
park, having brought there some rare
birds; and even now it is said that
some of these birds nest in the trees of
the park and in Trinity cemetery, close
beside, wherein Audubon's body was
buried Now all this is to go, and a
great part of the old estate is already
sold in tracts and lots, and will be &C.
cupied by apartment houses.

Decoration WorthIIy Bestowed.

President Fallieres' first list of deco.
rations for the New Year included the
name Of one man who is little known.
This was a young physician named
Louis Bozy, who lost an eye in the
discharge Of his duty. DR.. BoZy,
while acting as assistant to an operat.
ing surgeon in one of the Paris hos
pitfalls, had an eye injured through a
drop of poisonous matter coming in
contact with it. He knew that an
antidote must be applied Immediately,
but by doing this he would have left
the chief surgeon unattended, and re.
NAMED at his post with his eye un-
cared for until the operation was
completed. In consequence of his
heroism he lost an eye and was con.
fined to a hospital for long time.
President Fallieres, in comforting the
decoration, said that a wound re-
ceived by physician in the discharge
of his duty was as honorable as one
received on the battlefield.

Medical Inspection Of All immigrants.

Medical Inspection Of All immigrants.
Millions of immigrants have come to
this country, and the numbers are con-
stantly increasing. Each immigrant is
examined by service medical officer
and those found suffering from loath-
some or dangerous contagious diseases,
insane persons, idiots, epileptics and
those likely to become public charge
because of infirmities, are detained
and the immigration officials deport
them to the country from which they
come. This inspection Of immigrants
is carried on not only at our seaports,
but also along the Canadian and Mexi-
can borders wherever there is direct
communication by steamboat or rail-
road. This inspection serves to keep
out the thousands of sick and disabled
who would become burden upon pub
lie and private charities. 1t also keeps
out thousands of cases of contagious
diseases. The service maintains 81
marine hospitals, and 141 marine-hos-
pital stations, where medical treat
ment is given to sailors of the mer:
,chants marine. Over $4,000 sailors
were thus treated during the last fiscal
year. This care of sailors serves two
useful purposes besides it's direct bene-
fit to the sailor, remarks the National
Magazine for January. Seamen taken
i'll or injured while en- route to, or at a
port, would necessarily have to be left
by the vessel for treatment at the port
which in the majority of cases would
not be the sailors home. The sick
would therefore suffer unmerited neg
lect, or become burden upon the
charity of community to which they
did not belong. Further, if the illness
be of a contagious nature, they be-
come menace. Deep-water sailors, be-
cause of the nature of their life, are
prone not to form family ties, and
when these men contract tuberculosis,
as many do, they both suffer them
selves because of the lack Of home in
many cases, and in addition endanger
the community in which they live. For
these men the service maintains
large sanitarium at Fort Stanton, New
Mexico. This sanitarium is on reser-
walton of 3S square miles, located on
plateau in central New Mexico at an
altitude of $3.50 feet. Here there are
200 or more patients continually under
treatment. Some remain until cured,
others remain few months during
which time they become improved and
learn how they must live if they would
recover, and how to conduct them
selves for the protection of others.
Others, Of course, less fortunate, never
leave the sanitarium, but their days Of
illness have been rendered as comfort
able as possible.

nature except to stab the tired and overworked
and women of American life with sharp quick jab
at their sense of pure fun.
The comic germ has kept pace with the rapdity
of progress in American knowledge Of worldwide
sense of humor 1t has banished certain types and
tquated jokes forever. The fat German, the idotic
Englishman, the excitable Frenchman, have all mod
fed their stage desnes to meet the facts that they
established in the minds of the American people.
The laugh-makers themselves have adapted, much to
their personal pleasure, legitimate interpre-
ation of character close to life presentments, and
the authors who grow gray in their service to make
audiences laugh facing the necessity Of writing
comedies that natural, rather than strained ex-

seventy-eighth birthday. She has been

assistant postmaster. In response to
a petition signed by almost every in

office is said to be a model of neat

a clerk and she superintends one sub

tending to an extensive money order

There is always beginning and an
ending to comedy that each in their way
represent the authors most heroic strug-
