The wise men have tried to find out how long this is, but there is some diffi- culty in recognizing one mosquito among the many millions that award about the 1 back veranda in summer, and e0 they have guessed that the winged znoequxto lives only a very few days.

Careful search led to the discovery of the bird calmly seated upon her treasures in the bottom of the hedge out of the reach of the plough. Nineteen partridge chkoke were eventually •hatched and duly crimped unmolested. Some birds will forsa!te their nests if so much as a fin- ger is placed within, but °there, suspicious that their sestet hat been 'discovered, seek to hide them more effice.ciously by admir- ably ingenious plans. Among the thick fern growth of a bank a wood warbler had woven a nest. 'Hie bird had evidently selected this bank because of the quantity of tread leaves scattered anal heaped there• an, the tawny crispness of these correspond ing nicely with the domed edifice, hereby- rendering discovery impossible. But the 1 fine quality of the ferne led to its de-. tection. Tugging at the frail fronds, a kindly disposed lady scared the sitting: warbler, which llew, with plaintive call, to an adjacent bough, and there exhibited signs of distress. The lover of nature could not resist A PEEP AT THE COZY 110MS, which at a glance appeared like a shapeless mass of dead leaves and graasea. Some few days after, walking through the same wood, she was :again tempted to pay thelittlewood bird a visit. Puzzled and surprised, she could not find its whereabouts, but a few minutes' search revealed an alteration from the original mode. The cunning bird bad blocked up the old entrance and covered that side of the nest with dead loaves, break ing a doorway through on the opposite side. The magpie is nothing if not ingenious. He always barricades his bulky nest with thorn branches, so that to plunder it is by no moans an easy natter ; but when circum stances oblige the ""pie" to build in a low bush or hedge—an absence of lofty trees being a marked feature of some northern bealities—ho not only interlaces his home, but also the entire bush to a most formid- able manner. Nor does ho stop here. To " make assurance doubly sure,' he fashions a means of exit as well as entrance to the cootie, so that if disturbed he can slip out by hia back door, as it were. A tree spar- row on one occasion built its nest in a tall elm, just beneath the more bulky erection of a crow. Not only did the large nest screen the smaller, but it afforded a meat s of pro- tection from the vagaries of the weather. Some time after the crows nest was 5LUNDEaED OF ITS COSTENTS, while that of the tree sparrow escaped un- touched. A greenfinch once built its nest inside the deserted home of amissel-thrush. This deserted nest was well known to the bird -nesting boy as forsaken, it being several seasons old and much battered by ITER eganserat mem In the fist place you would baaatonished to find that instead of juat one aharpneedle that is going down into you there are five of them, long, 'fine bristles that are unfolded from a hollow ease. Those wise men who have studied the mosquito and its ways and have given names to ell curious parts call the hollow case the ""labium," and one of the five bristles a "maxilla" The horrible things with spines that ourve from near the eyes and wave about so constantly are nothing but the "feelers" as you When boys and girls used to call them, or the "autenute, as the scientists have dubbed them.

Then the stops singing and pumps away until her long, thin body grows round and red with blood—your blood—is mere drop, it may be, but a good meal for her. When she has had enough she draws out the five points and. tucks them away into their box, flips a foot or two over the case to clean it and flies away more slowly than be- fore, for she is far heavier, Then you can kill her without much trouble, but it is only revenge, and you .get a good splatter of red stain—your own blood—when you, smash her. There is something about these points that the mosquito thrusts into you that leaves a bit of poison. Soon you feel a sting and then you scratch. Your sharp nails soon wear the skin off and presently you have made a raw spot in the middle of which the poisoned bite is smarting. It may be news to you to know that the mosquito when she puts her maxillae into your skin, and sucks out your blood, is takingpay for a goodaervicethat she has al- ready rendered you. To be sure, she was not a mosquito when she did this good deed and she was not bothered about doing you any good when she did it.

The settlers here are (he says) almost without exception, Eng- lishmen, snarly of them coming from"fam- ilies of good social standing in the fold Country." Moat of them have got through the rough parts of their labors, the col- lar -work," and are ret about to realize the fruits of their industry. They wish to build good houses ad get better furniture and to get married, They are unable, how- ever, to leave their farms to go to England tnhere; ma n there are uo women wives, and get e andso they have no prospect before them of attaining the refinements and the com- vo been forts of the homes for widish they have so long working. In England, or the other hand, there are many more women than men, employment is difficult to obtain, and parents are at a loss to know what to do with their daughters. ""Now," adds this practical minded'Brit- ish Columbian, "it would be an unspeakable, blessing to the girls and greatly to the ad- vantage of the settlers here if some means could be found oftainging the two together, so that the girls become the happy, con- tented wives of well to do farmers, who own the land they till and have a stake in the country, and mothers of healthy children, who will have a fair chance in the struggle for existence." Be then suggests to the Self' Help Emigration Society' the following lines of action : "There are no servants in this country, all persons being socially equal. There are, however, scores of re- spectable families in which companions' and • helpers would be' eagerly welcomed and paid very high wages. If you like I will send you the names of°clergymen and ministers in this ` itnntediate vicinity who will be willing to communicate to you the addresses of a number of persons wanting helpers, and who will guarantee the respec- tability of such persons. The society might then arrange for the first party , say, twelve young women to be sent out ; and, if satisfactorily settled, more height follow. The scheme might be varied or altered in some particulars to make it workable. For ins tance,settlera who obtainedwives through She'eoeiety would be willing -if need be—to pay the society the moneyexpended in send-. ing them out.

Each nibble that her little mouth took of this odd food meant just so much less matter to poison the water. Poisoned water you may know, is apt to produce malaria and fevers, and when it stands long enough itwill acre many people ill.
