The Mosquito-An Unsfoentific Study,
X ow comes the mosquito. Not that the
mosquito confine { his visits to the late sum
nier and autun by any means, for, like
the poor, we have hini always with us, or
nearly always ; but it is about this time
that he begins to take himself seriously, to
insist upon himself, to labor and to prey,
but not to wait by any means.
There are some curious and interesting
points about the mosquito, and now that we
must give him sonic measure of attention
whether we wish to do so -.r not, it is well to
get some entertainment. eut of him. lie
gets a good deal out A us.
'I'here are a good inany kinds of him for
one thing-genera or species, as the reader
may please-sonae of them active by day
others by night,and sonic-as anybody may
discover for himself, though the scientific
books neglect to mention the fact-ready,
like the lower olass of restaurants, for
"meals at all hours of the day or night." -
The most curious thing about a mosquito
is that lhe is found in some places, and not
In others where the conditions are appar
ently precisely the same. There are places
where mosquitoes swarm, while in others
near at hand and similarly situated not a
mosquito ever presents a bill. The reason
for this nobody knows.
Another thing about the mosquito that
nobody knows is how he buzzes. That is
his secret, and as yet he has not revealed it
to anybody. - Entomologists have question
ed him on this point to no purpose. 'T'hey
have dissected him, sbparated each of his
muscles from its fvllows ; they have stud
ied him sitting still, flying and walking,
they have observed himi in the act of blood
letting ; they have counted tl.p vibrations of
his wings, and learned that s stroke is lif
ty to the second ; but they have never dis
covered how or why hQ buzzes. They have
many pretty theories on the subject, but
have agreed among themselves upon no set
tied doctrine.
The mosquito is a graceful fellow in all
he does, and if he would sleep of nights
would not be an unpleasant companion, but
for his bite. We should say her bite for it
is only the female that bites, a fact fm
which every reader will argue that miosqui
toes must be polygunists, with many thou
sands of wives apiece, for one very rarely
finds the mosquibe that does not bite. 11o
is rarer than the man who does not smoke
or the woman whose shoes are avowedly
too small by half a size.
Why does the mosquito bite ? That is
another secret. It is pretty certain that
she has no occasion to do so. Vegetable
juices and sweets are her natural food, and
it is now doubted whether or not she really
needs any food at all. To test this ques
tion a Tennessee entomologist believing that
arrangements for sealing the state debt
were in a satisfactory state of advancement
devoted his spare tine a few years ago to
the making of experiments. lie iaprisoi
ud several mosquitoes under bell glasses and
kept them there without food during the
whole term of their natural lives, and lie
testifies that they remained healthy, active
and vigorous, without pefceptibly losing
1lesh, until the advent of cold weather put
an end to then and the experiment at once.
''heir blood-thirst, therefore, seems to he
purely nalicious, anrd not at all a part of
their struggle for existence.
An ingenious apologist for the mosquito
attempted a few years ago to set up a de
fense for her, which. if it had been true,
would not only have excused her, but
would have justified her also, in the use of
her laneets. lie declared that ,irs. 1os
quito is a female practitioner ; that she
lives in mnalarious regions and punctures
skins there, partly to drive men away from
pestilentini spots and part,ly to counteract
tiro poison of the atnmospere by the admino
istrationi of an antidhote ; in a word this
apologist 1he1( that 31rs. Mosquito bites not
- fr the p)urpose of sucking blood but to ad
mninister minuite (hoses of quinine by sub
cutaneous injection. If this fact could be
p)rovedl, we should have in the mosquito the
nost electic of phiysicians--one whlo uses
thei old school hancet, but gives homteopathic
doses.
llow the mosquito bites is much better
known than why she bites. She carri'es six
little lancets inside her proboscis, and with
these she punctures the skin, miaking a hole
so small that the blood cannot, flow through
it except under pressure, and through this
hole she draws what she wants by a sort of
special suction-p)ump) stomach which is (dis
tinct from her stomach piroper. Thle intlami
nation and irritation which follow thme bite
mare due not so nmuch to the p)uucturing of
the skin as to the acrid saliva which lows
into the wound. This irritation is sonme
times so great as to produce fever, a fact
- from which It appears that, if the mnosquito
is really a physician, she adhieres to the
hiomeop)athic dloctrine that like cures like, a
doctrine which has never been folhowedl out
to Its logical end mn cases where men, hay
lng broken their heads by falling down
ia liit of Blairs, need to be thrown down a
liight by way of repairing the injury. Per
hiaps this is a nisimnterpretation of the doc
t,rine, andl at any rate has nothing to (10
with miosquitocs, whose heads cannot, be
broken in any such way.
Th'le usual remledy for mosquitoes Is to
slap one's self violciitly. It (does not hurt
thme mosquito, but it braces the sufferer up
and teaches him to end(ure pain.

AGRIOULTURE.
SABLE SHEEP.--There is no profit in
black wool and it brings live cents per
pound less In the market than white.
nome years since, when every rural
household contained a sninning-wheel
and loom, upon which the matron spun
out the material with which the family
was clothed, black wool was in demand
and filled-an important niche in the
domestic economy. Now the great fac
tories monopolize that bu.'lness, and
are able to furnish the people with yarn
and cloth better and cheaper than It can
be made at homie. To- day there proba
bly is not a yard of cloth manufactured
domestically where there were a thou
sand fifty years ago. The factery pre
fers white wool, which can be dyed to
suit their purposes, while it has been
found more difficult to control the ir
regular shading of the black. The
preventive agaiust black wool is easy.
There is no black blood In sheep, white
or black; no pignentum in the skin of
sheep, as In the races, only diflerence
in the outgrowth or wool. A white
ewe will more frequently produce a
black lamb than a black ewe, and a
black owe will more frequently have a
white lamb thani a black. Were there
black and white blood In the sheep the
reverse of this would be true. White
ewes unmixed with black will always
have white lambs. 1'ut only one black
sheep with the white flock and there
will be many black lambs; mix the
black ewes with the white and they
will have a majority of white lambs.
The inevitable conolusion is that the
marking of the lamb does not arise
from any distinctive characteristic in
the blood, but from the IInpressiols
made upon the mind of the mother.
She looked upon the black innovator
with wonder and stamped the character
of her lamb; the black owe took in the
beauties of her white companions aid
fixed the destiny of hers. Not long
since, Mr. T. 8. Tinsley, of Missouri,
writing to The liural Vorld, inquired
as to what could be the cause of his hay
ing livo black lambs in a flock of forty
head, which had been bred ton Cotswold
and "had no black rais there." He
mentioned incidentally hat'"there was
at black stray wether tnat took up with
his flock.' This accounts for the "milk
in the cocoanut'' and is an illustration
of th fact set forth above. Missouri
is the home and birthplace of the black
sheep. -Some time since we bought800
sheep ther'-, in lots of from 5 to 100,
and when we got through we had 240
black ones. li purchases made of
those natives you have to take black
ones, grandmnot.hers, grandfathers and
the flock through. Over-loaded . with
black, desperate mcasures were In or
der. 'lhcy were put on st,rong diet,
and as they were ready, a load was
shipped to Chicago.- "A car-lo-td of
black mutton I"-the first and only ar
rival of the kind ever in that market.
So rare was it that it was a matter of
comment in the local papers. Four
and one-half cenls per pound sufliced
us, and they took them In. ''he black
sheep Is a healthy, hardy animal, but
the wool being depreciated in the mar
ket, they should be avoided, and when
on hand, committed to the shambles.

great protection to the horses working
in the harvest field. It screens then
from the heat, from tiles, and from dust,

desirable, when horses are washed, to
use a oft sponge and water in which

CAIC.-Before commencing to make
cake, be sure that you have all the in
gredients in the house, and all the im
plements at hand, such as trays, bowls,
large dishes, large, strong iron spoon,
egg-beaters, etc. Use none but the
best family flour in making cake. It is
a good plan to sift it before weighing
or measuring It, and to let it air and
sun several hours before using it; as
this makes It much lighter. It is a
great mistake to set aside rancid or In
different butter for cake making. The
butter used for the purpose should be
good and fresh. Always use granu
lated sugar or else powdered loaf or cut
'sugar, las pulverized sigar Is apt to
have plaster of Paris or other foreign
elements In it, Never use brown or
ever clarified sugar In cake making,
unless It be for gingerbread. Do not
attempt to make cake without fresh
eggs. Cream of tartar, soda and yeast
powders are poor substitutes for these.
A fresh egg placed in wvater will sink
to the bottom. In breaking eggs, do
not break them over the vessel in which
they are to be beaten. Break ttetu one
by one over a saucer, so that, if you
come across a defective one, you will
not spoil the rest by mixing it with
then; whereas, if it is a good one, It
will be easy to pour the white from the
saucer linto the bowl with the rest of
the whites, and to add the yolk which
you retain In the egg shell to the other
yolks.
ENoLrsu GINEn BEEii.-'l'wo and a
quarter pounds of loaf sugar, one ounce
of cream of tartar, one and a half
ounces ot ginger-root, two tablespoon
fulls of fresh brewers' yeast, two lem
ons, and about three gallons of water;
bruise the ginger, put it into a large
earthenware pan with the sugar and
creani of tartar; peel the lemons,
squeeze out the juice, strain it, and
add, with the peel, to the other ing're
dients; then pour over them three gal
lons of boiling water. When It has
stood until it is otrly just warm, add
the yeast, stir the contents of the pan,
cover with a cloth, and let It renain
near the lire for 12 hours. ''hlent skim
ofl the yeast and pour the liquor oil
into another vessel, taking care not to
shake it, so as to leave the sediment;
bottle it immediately, cork it tightly;
in three or four days it will be fit for

BAKED INDIAN PUDDIN.--Pour
enough boiling water on two cups of

one-half cup of butter, well beaten
with one cup of sugar, til like a cream;
two well beaten eggs, a tittle salt, two
cups of milk; two tablespoonfuls imo
lasses, nutmeg and cininmon to suit
the taste; one tea-cup of stoned raisins,
slightly chopped ; bake slowly three
hours. If preferred, use two-thirds of
a cup of Ilnely chopped suet instead of
but.ter; instead of raisins a cup and a
half of dried wlortleberries are very
nice, or two cups of linely chopped
sweet apples instead of any other fruit
Is excellent.
CiRANnERY JEL.Y.-Put one quart
of cranberries, which have been care
fully picked over, to boll in one pint
cold water; have ready in a bowl one
pint white sugar; when the cranber
ries are perfectly soft mash them while
hot through a colantter Into the bow
which contains the sugar, and stir tin
til the sugar Is dissolved ; then pour
into inoulds and set in a cold place for
at least twenty-four hours. If the
cranberries are good and no more witter

A Joyful Announcement
to suffering munions is the glad tidings that at
last a OOrtai cure for piles has been discov
ered. 600,000 persons who have. used Dr.
tlilsbee's Anakesis, pronounce it infallible.
Doctors of all medical schools proscribe it in
practice ; empirios and nostrum vendors coun
torfett and Imitate it, and all, without- excep
tion, admit that it is entitled to the name of
"Medical Miracle." Nothing in medicine is
more simple, rational, prompt and certain. It
is not an accidental blunder of inexperlenco,
but the scientific solution of a most diflicult
problem, by an accomplished physician of 40
years' practice and study. Anakesis is a
happy combination of a soothing poultice,
supporting instrument and curative medicine.
It alleviates at once the most excruciating
pain; it holds up the raw. sensitive tumors,
and by firm, continued pressure and medica
tion appilied to the swollen veins is able to
cure the most inveterate cases of blind or
bleeding piles. The inventor of ."Anakesis"
may well be regarded as a public benefactor,
and sufferers from this terrible disease will
thank us for calling attention to a discovery
so worthy. It is not less ain'gular that in the
circular concerning Anakesis, full directions
are given for riuvENTriso PiLrs, a fact never
before observed in any medicine tho propri
otbrs wished to sell. "Anakesis" is sold by
dru,gists everywhere. Sent free on receipt
of price. $1.00 per box; samples gratis by 1'.

The Mockinr Hird.
This bird possesses faculties which ren
der it one of the great objects of curiosity
and admiration among the feathered tribes.
Its natural notes are musical and solemn.
It likewise possesses the singular power of
assuming the tone of other birds and ani
mals. This extraoadinary bird is peculiar
to the new world, inhabiting warm cli
mates, and low country seeis miost con
genial to their nature ; they are more
numerous in the South. The berries of
red cedar, myrtle, holly, gum-berries, and
an abundance of others, with which the
luxuriant swampy thickets of these regions
abound, furnish them with a perpetual
feast. Iie builds his nest in different
places, according to the latitude he resides
in. A solitary thornbush, orange, cedar or
holly tree are favorite spots. Always ready
to defend, but never anxious to conceal his
nest. During the time the female is set
ting, neither eat or dog, animal or man can
approach the nest without being attacked.
Ilis whole vengeance is directed against his
natural enemy the h :ack snake; whenever
this reptile is discovered, the imate darts at
it with the rapidity of an arrow, striking
it violently and incessantly against the
head ; the snake soon becomes insensible,
and the bird redoubles his exertions, he
seizes and lifts it fromi the ground, beating
it with his wings until the business is com
pleted ; lie returns to his nest and pours
out a torrent of song in token of victory.
The mocking birds is so called because it
can imitate with the greatest ease, not only
the songs of other birds, but the sounds
and cries of animais. In conficuemnt he
loses a little of the power and energy of
his song, In his domesticated state, when
lie commences his dareer of song, It is imn
possible to stand by uninterested. He
whistles for the dog-Coesar starts up,wags
his tail and runs to meet his master. Ife
slucaks out like a young chicken and the
hen runs about with outstretched wings
and bristled feathers clucking, to protect
her breed. The barkimg of a dog, the
mewing of a cat, the creaking of a wheel
barrow, the grating of a grindstone and
the rushing of a torrent of water, follow
with gread truth and rapidity. In regard
to food we give the following: Take two
old potatoes (never give them new ones),
pare and boil them, also boil two good
sized eggs, remove them from the shell,
mashi them fie with the potatoes, then put
away in a cool place; give a large soon
fuml evem'y hour or so, feeding himi by hmandl
just as you wvouild an infant, Inm tIme monith
of August or Septembler, a bit of a sweet
