Soma assuring with the rising tides a, constant movement Of the water W1th- in the ditches. The female mosquito may lay her eggs on the water but they will be carried away. She may lay them on the dry ground, but there they will perish. She has only two places. Yes, can see that Fairfield and mosquitoes will be quite separ- able"
 The records of the association show that there have been three species or mosquitoes to thrive in these loca11- ties One the marsh mosquito is rec ognized by the spotted legs. another the malaria mosquito by the three "stings'' or filters, @and the third the house mosquito recognized by the uni form brown color and with spotless legs.
 If there are mosquitoes around at the present time, the association is confident that they are not of the malaria species, so there is no fear of the spread of that malady. The as- sociation feels that the drainage has ridden this locality of that species. To spread malaria. the malaria mos quito must first attack a malaria vic- tim. Other species of mosquitoes cannot become infected.
 However, if residents are bothered with house mosquitoes they have no one but themselves or their neighbors to blame. The house mosquito finds it's birthplace around homes in tin cans tubs and etc. House mosqui- toes have never been known to fly more than 200 yards from their birth place. If the house specie is to be ridden, residents should see to it that there is no rubbish, can or other articles around that will hold stag nant waters.
 It is not expected that anyone will,
 
 to, secure the animal and make an ex- animation to determine it's species. It is sufficient to know that when the mosquito a1ights no matter what spe- cie there will be a sting.
 Rudyard KipHng must have had mosquitoes in mind when he wrote, 'fThe female of the species is more deadly than the male." It is true that the female mosquito is the one that does all the stinging and buzztng, and that the male mosquito cannot sting. The male mosquito Is recog- nized by feathery filler, the female by a hair like filler. This latter is the little teaser or tickler which causes all the waving of arms, snap ping, scratching and after soreness. Also the life of the male is about one week, while that of the female from one to two months. The female lays eggs on an average of three times in a season and on an average of about 200 eggs at each time. Of course some of these eggs are never matched. On an average it takes

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

For painted walls dissolve 2 ounces of borax in two quarts of water. Add one tablespoonful of ammonia Use half of this quantity to each bucket of water. Do not use soap Rub with clean towels till dry.
 To renovate and brighten gilt frames of pictures or mirrors, wash them very gently with a small sponge moistened with spirits of wine or oil of turpentine. The sponge must be sufficiently wet to remove dirt and fly marks.
 If a garment becomes badly soiled with precipitation, put it in soft, 1uke-warm water and wash with Indian meal instead of soap. This will remove stains of long standing if the meal is well rubbed into the Soiled places with your hands.
 In washing muslin curtains they look more sheer if you boil two quarts of wheat bran in six quarts of water for half an hour and strain and mix in the water in which the curtains are to be washed Rinse lightly in clear, cold water and dry.
 The top of chi1d's stocking is usually the first place to show signs of wear. If the new stockings are lined down as far as the knee the gaf- ter fastening will not tear it So quick ly Do not fasten the lining at the lower edge, as this would make an

 The work of draining the marsh lands along the Connecticut coast has been taken uptin other towns out side of Fairfield and meeting with noted successes It is noted that private owners of property in Black ROCK have drained their marshes, while it is also noticed that the City of Bridgeport has neglected consid- erabIe of her property in this partic- u1ar. There may be a. reason for this neglect in that Bridgeport has never had the same. complaint against the mosquito that Fairfield had.
 Fairfield residents, it is to be hop ed, may now sight with relief, the mosquito, if not entirely eliminated. lis so much on the vain that 1t is but a matter of time when the sight of a marsh mosquito in town will be a novelty. The Improvement associa- ton has ridden the town of the ma Iaria mosquito, is ridding the town of the marsh specie, therefore 1t be- hooves every resident to rid his neigh borhood of the house mosquito. Clean up the waste places that's tt11e only cure.

M'FARLAND STALLS

Goes Ten Rounds With Britton,
Appears Out Of Condition,
and Gets a Draw.

MILWAUKEE,, VS., Dec. 9.-Those
who knew anything of the recent en-
gagement of Packey Mcfarland in ST.
Louis are not at all chagrined today.
Those, however, who went to see Packey
and Jack Britton stall around for ten
rounds are a sore lot today.
Hog fat" was Packey when he went
in against Jack Britton, and the exer-
ton soon had him putting and blowing.
The other Chicago lad was not much
better than Mcfarland, and il took ten
rounds of tugging and butting to con-
vince the fans that they were being
bunked again.
Britton was thought to be c1everer
than Mcfarland, but during the ten
rounds showed little better than the
master. Mcfarland was a sad disap-
pointment to his many friends who had
come with the expectation of seeing the
marvel show something.
Only once and while did Packey
show anything like his old time form.
but when the game got too hot for him
he would clinch. Britton had the better
of il and conceding ten pounds put up
a clever exhibition.
