Must Have Albumlnous Food.

WUoC TINVC NIpUT1IHOU6 f00Os
 The tact that mosquitoes SO con- tinually harass rich-blooded creatures is due to the fact that they cannot lay eggs without the albuminous food which is thus secured. In tropical countries the greatest enemy of the malaria-bearing mosquito is species of bat which is protected from the in- sect's bite by it's strangely shaped hairs. The bat is very swift of flight and the mosquitoes, especially those which have already made a supper of blood are their ideal food.

Humbled by a Drag Scraper.

One Of the advantages Of being
bachelor when you are building or
restoring house Is that you can spend
most Of your time in the garden. I
am by nature a trusting soul, anyway
(Which no woman and possibly no wise
man ever is where carpenters, builders
and plumbers are concerned), and
trusted Hard Cider implicitly. He told
me the plumbers were "doin' all right"
and I believed him. That he himself
was doing all right my own eyes told
me, for he had by now reached the
south rooms, removed the dividing par
tition, revealing the old, hand-hewn
oak beam at the top, and was cutting
a double door out in the center on Ell

'tIt's the lines,'' said Hard Cider.
"Jest the right lines. Lower 'em six
inches, and wizard they be?'
"Could you build me a bookcase,

one to the other, and bring it out at

from the center, making it the back Of
