Mosquitoes in January.

The following is taken from the Jan
uary Woman's Home Companion:
This sounds incredible, but have
again and again found mosquitoes in the
cellar this month. Finally | discovered
where their breeding place was in the
cellar. Where the water pipe which sup
piled the house with water from ths
street entered the cellar from beneath
| the cement floor the floor was invariably
| damp. This was caused by the cold
water in the pipe sweating the out
side of the pipe, and it is very com,
mon bit of natural phenomena, and
every householder has observed exactly
the same thing when pitcher OF cold
water is placed in a warm room.
"The moist floor of the cellar was q
fine place for the mosquitoes to breed
in, and we had plenty until the matter
could be remedied. The mosquitoes
found their way up to the bedrooms, to
the establishment of the occupants OF
the house. who could not understand how
they could get in in such numbers IN
well screened house.
"Of course the mosquitoes did not
come out in the winter time, Tor the
weather outside made it too cold for
them to flv about much, but | now UNI
derstand why they came in such num-
beers in the summer time. | dare say

figure. and to cause insanity and some
times death. as evidenced by this, the

And plucked him up, though he grew
full low,
And as | did the cock did grow

Juliet exclaim:
And shrieks like mandrake torn out OF

That living mortals hearing them ran
