WAR ON THE MOSQUITO
HOW NEW JERSEY IS FIGHTING
HER FAMOUS PEST.
Swamps and Salt Marshes Being
Drained-Fish as an
Auxiliary.

The concentrated effort on the part OF
the state authorities of New Jersey to
eliminate it's mosquito was explained by
DIR. John b. Smith, the state entomOlo-
gist, in an illustrated lecture, under the
auspices of the Biological Society of
Washington, last night in the lecture
hall of the George Washington Cniver
sity Following the lecture. the ento-
mology and habits of various members
Of the mosquito family thriving I'm this
section of the globe were explained by
DR.. l.. O. Howard. entomologist of the
Department of Agriculture.
The breeding place for New Jersey
MOSQUITOES, according to DR.. Smith, lay
in the great salt water marshes existing
as much as five and six miles inland
from the coast line in the northern and
central sections of the state, and the
pools and puddles among the sand hills
prevalent along the coast The former.

level In such a manner that winter
winds would drive loose sand from the
neighboring flats and gradually add to
the permanency of the covering. Other
pools it was found impossible to fill
and these were drained into a common
center, where small lake Or pond was
constructed and stocked with fish, which
prevented mosquito breeding by feeding
on the eggs.
The address of DIR. Howard was of
a scientific nature and dwelt at length
on the habits of the mosquito and the
comparative ease of reducing their
numbers through the destruction Of
their breeding places.

K0MINY AND SAUERKRAUT.

OOWtlNt HSO oAO6tttNlNO ls
Properly Cooked, One Suggests 6eetho-
ven. the Other Wagner.
Why is it that sauerkraut is never
truly fit to eat until it has been
cooked twice, with an interregnum
Of twenty-four hours separating the
cooking? And why is it that hon.
my boiled and then fried is at times
as delicious as hominy simply boil
ed?
In each case every hearty and ar
tistic eater is aware of the fact, but
no one thinks to discover the rea-
son. Among the ignorant, of course,
sauerkraut is devoured at once
and after its first stewing, but the
present inquiry is not directed to-
ward the habits Of the ignorant. To
the connoisseur of educated taste,
to the refined amateur Of delicates-
sen, sauerkraut cooked once is as
unsavory a mess as Philadelphia
pepperpot or Boston beans. The
very thought Of it benumbs his
stomach and insults his intelligence.
And yet if that same sauerkraut be
laid away for twenty-four hours,
preferably in a stone jar, with
brick on top, and be brought to
simmer in some suitable stewpan
that same connoisseur will walk
twenty miles in the snow to get
scent of it and hundred miles on
redhot Goals to get few skeins Of
it.
In the Bavarian and Saxon royal
families the sauerkraut for Sun
days breakfast is always cooked on
Friday evening. An hour or two Of
brisk ebullition is enough. Then
the beautiful strands are dredged
up from the caldron and transfer
red to large copper or earthcn
vessel, which is deposited overnight
in some convenient arsenal. There
the kraut remains all day Saturday
and Saturday night. At dawn on
Sunday morning it is withdrawn
from its vault and transferred to an
aluminium stcwpan and seasoned.
Then the mixture is heated, and the
result is sauerkraut de luxe. Once
cooked it would be mere food; twice
cooked it is a thing Of beauty and a
joy forever.
Hominy has the same habits.
Boil it once and it is food for con-
victs and political hangers-on, but
boil it twice or boil it and then fry
it and it is lifted at once to the
range of a superb and tlawless Wet
ual. The man who has never tasted
hominy in conjunction with the ma
tive wild hog Of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland is man whose right
= to be regarded as entirely civilized
= and cultured is yet to be demon
strated. Such viands-and, alas,
they are too few!-ennoble while
they warm and educate while they
.nourish. In the art of eating their
place is as high as that Of Beetho-
ven's Fifth Symphony in the art Of
music.
Hominy, indeed, suggests Beetho-
ven in more ways than one. 1t
shows all of his rugged simplicity
and honest worth. There is a di.
rectness about it which wins the
heart. It is above all pretense and
subterfuge. Sauerkraut, on the 9th
er hand, is more romantic. It is not
Beethoven, but Wagner. No matter
how we'll one knows it, it is full Of
delicious novelties and surprises

Shifting tho Responsibility.

An Irishman who traded in small
wares kept donkey cart, with
which he visited the different vii
lagos. On one occasion he came to
a bridge where toll was levied.
He found to his disappointment
he had not enough money to pay it.
A bright thought struck him. He
embarrassed the donkey and put it
into the cart. Then, getting be-
tween the shafts himself, he pulled
the cart with the donkey standing
in it on to the bridge.
In due course he was hailed by
the toll collector.
'fHey, man" cried the latter.
fFWhaur's your toll:?"
''Begorra," said the Irishman,
Ejust ask the droiyer."
