War on the Mosquito.
From the Boston Advertiser

From the Boston Advertiser.
Brookline. beginning its third year OF
warfare on the mosquito. and adding the
fly to it's program OF destruction. claims
to be the only City or town north of New
Jersey off1cially to wage such war.
There Is implied criticism In the claim
and other cities and towns should take
note of 1t. After two years OF Brook
lines successful work in this direction
other municipalities should not allow 1t
to stand alone. The example of the two
past years might reasonably have in
spired imitation in other places. If
Brooklines experiment produced no sat
isfactory results. it would be folly TO con-
tinue 1t. Public opinion there would
have checked the work. On the contrary
this years campaign of destruction of the
flying pests is OF increased scope and en-
ergy. Why have not other municipali-
ties followed the example. now two years
old and proved worth while? The time
will come when every city and every
considerable town will have this work of
destruction a part Of it's regular spring
and .A.r program OF disease preven-
ton. The Importance OF destroying
mosquitoes and flies is we'll understood by
intelligent people. There is little excuse
for neglecting to grapple with the prob
len decisively. Brookiine should not be
allowed to retain her isolation in recog-
milton OF duty.

From Harper's Weekly.
The old Temple clock in London bears
curious inscription, the origin of which
is ascribed to a chance remark
Some two hundred years or so ago a
master workman was employed to repair
and put in a new face upon the clock.
When his work was nearly done he asked
the benchers for an appropriate motto to
carve upon the base. They promised to
think of one. Week after week he came
for their decision, but was put off. One
day he found them at dinner in COM
mons
What motto shall l put on the clock,
your lordships?' he asked OF a learned
Judge.
"Oh, go about your business-' his honor
cried. angrily.
And very suitable for lazy. dawdling
gang.' the clockmaker is said to have
muttered, as he retreated. 1t Is certain
that he carved go about your business
on the base.
The lawyers decided that no better
warning could be given them at any hour
of the day, and there the inscription still
remains.
