This or ganiam is always introduced inte the body throagh the bite of a eer- tain kind of nmequito, -When the mosquito bitee a sufferer from ma- laria, it takes in the germs with au, sufferer's bleed, The germs multiply ill the intestine of the mos- quito, ami travel' through its body —unfortanately doing it no harm— to the proboscis.

The most haphazard, madam ob- servation of varioue moths will give one a feeling of profound gratitude that nature did not see fit to endow euch other enemies of man sie mos- qaitoes with anything like the mune industry, pertinaeity, ingenuity, and shreednese, If mosquitoes had anything like the ambition arid de- termination of tho inoth this would he an itching world. A mosquito accepts a sereen as an impasee and, like •any genial Micawber, merely hams around waiting for something to turn up. For a thing that seems to get as much amusement out of its disorderly life it is singularly slug- gish in pursuit of its pleasures. It may use some fineness in mamma - Tering if its victim is accessible, but even then it is apt to employ a rect action which frequently brings it to grief. The moth—stupid, blundering thing that it is, with a foolish ap- petite for hot lamp chimneys, light- ed gas jets, candles, etc., and a de- structive liking for woolen goods— is a 'wonderfully persevering nuis- ance, and about the time a mosqui- to givee up in disgust or despair a moth buckles down earnestly to work. It will examine every inch of a screen, work over the edge •where the net is tacked, inspect every place where pieces are joined, test every bit of the frame, try to, squeeze itself between the screen and the frame at ahnost every tack, and, failing in all these attempts, it will andertalte the chimney route or go around to the door and wait its chance to slip in—all this for the opportunity of dropping into a hot chimney and cracking it. Observ- ing the moth, one is grateful that it Glees not bite. HE HAD TO. MeGinnis kept a public -house and lived with his family upstairs.

Summer catarrh, as it ie often eaRed, is one of the most remark- able maladies peculiar to the sum- mer months, and very often a source of much distress to those who suffer from it. The mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes and upper air passages is irritated by the pollen of certain grasses that is floating in the air, quite unseen of course, during the summer, generally from May to September. Sneezing, run- ning of the nose and eyes make the patients life a burden and he nia.y also exhibit the symptoms of asth- ma, difficulty of breathing, and a sense of oppression. Men are more liable to this disease than women, and the clam of people who suffer least often from hay fever is the one most exposed to its causes, namely, farmers and agricultural laborerin general. Those who live in the country are far less likely to be attacked than the town dwel- ler, and persons of a strongly mark- ed nervous temperament are more apt to suffer than others. The duration of an attack is variable, but rna,y be set down as six weeks, though there are cases where the patient suffers throughout the sum- mer. It is unfortunately true that with most people the trouble is an- nual, and no sooner does the warm weather come than their misery be- gins, unless they can leave the dis- trict. Change of air indeed is the best remedy, and as no investiga- tion has yet descovered a preven- tive; the only treatment when change is impossible must consist of palliative measures. Iodide of potassium, the salts of bromine, ar- senic, and strychnine have been pre- scribed with success. Patients should remain indoors, especially during the prevalence of sunshine, which increases the irritation. A quinine and iron tonic will be found useful in many cases, and the pati- ent's should take plenty of light, nourishing food.

Sorrow is as common as night time. None es- capes it. Tears may blind with de- spair or furnish xnedia for a rain- bow of hope. Some are crushed by losses; others reprice possessione profitably. Stoicism cannot erect manhood. Daily happenings must build character as gymnasium exer- cise does muscle. We can explain few of earth's terrible accidents. As a child truite love and so ban- ishes fright, even so must mankind have a eonsolieg faith in the Omni- potent Father. He is a "God of all comfort." This God shows material abund- ance to be unnecessary for happi- ness. Jesus had not where to lay His head, yet Ile continued to be A KING: Bismarck with all his power said in late life :—"I have counted all, the hours in which I have been happy and they do riot equal twenty-four." Over against this wemay put the words of the persecuted and im- prisoned Paul: "I have learned in whatever state I am therewith to be content." Solomon said, "God- liness with contentment is great gain." Any other satisfa-ction might be that of a glutten at, his feasting who would only lay up "goods" and hear the call "Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be re- quired at thy hands.Before his death the Earl of Shaftesbury who had lived such a serviceable Chris- tian life lost his fortune. He de- clared, "I am thankful ter losing my fortune, for thus God was able to show me that I did not need it to be happy." This God shields us from an over- burden. Old day theology accredit- ed affliction to be a punishment. Man's cupidity and careleesne,ss bring accidents, but they come up- on the innocent and (Tafel alike. Then the innocent suffr' as redeem- ers of man; they serve to awaken others to law observance and a re- alignment of values. Out of every i loss comes an UPLIFTING OF HUMANITY. t They who suffer contribute to this uplift and thus so add to their na- ture that they will be larger On earth and in heaven.

Lady Henry Somerset, whose lab- ors in behalf of the children of the London slums are constant and earnest, tells this affecting story of - the way in which her interest in these little onea was aroused. I was moved in that direction by the rare patience and imagination of one little- boy. His example con- vinced me that patience was one of the qualities I needed most, and in seeking it I grew into that work. I was in a hospital on visiting - day, while the doctors were chang- ing a plaster east which held the crippled boy's limb. The operation was exceedingly painful, I was told. To my surprise, the little sufferer neither stirred nor winced, but made is curious buzzing sound with his mouth. After the doctors left I said to him: "How could you possibly ,stand itP' "That's nothing," he answered. "Why. I just made believe that a bee was stingin' me. Bees don't hurt very much. you know. And I kept buzzin' because I was afraid I'd forget about its being a bee if I didn't." A BIG HOUSE.
