Ar. ingenious *{*>! gist for the mosquito
attempted a few years ago to set up a de
fer* for her. which, if it had been true,
would not only have excused her, but
would bavv justified ber also, in the use of
her lancer K. He declared that Mrs. Moe
quit-is a female practitioner; that she
lives in tuaianous regions and punctures
skim there, partly to drive men away from
jwatikmuai spots and partly to counteract
the poison of the atmospcre by the admin-
MOmtion erf an antidote; in a word this
apologise IK* lei that Mrs. Mosquito bites not
ftw the purpi*- of socking blood but to ad
minister minute doses of quinine by sul>-
eutaneous injection. If this fact could be
proved, we should have in the mosquito the
most Hectic of physicuuis—one who uses
the old school lancet. but gives homeopathic
doses.
H<w the mosquito bites is much better
kzxwii than why she bites. She carries six
little lancet* inside her proboscis, and with
thear she punctures the skin, making a hole
as small that the blood cannot flow through
it except under pressure . and through this
bote she draws what she wants by a sort of
special suction -pump stomach which is dis
tinct from her stomach proper. The inflam
mation and irritation which follow the bite
are doe not so much to the puncturing of
the skin as to the acrid saliva which dows
into the wound. This irritation is sonic -
limes ao great as to produce fever, a fact
from which it appears that, if the mosquito
is really a physician, she adheres to the
homeopathic doctrine that like cures like, a
doctrine which has never been followed out
to its logical end in cases where men. hav
ing broken their beads by falling down
a flight of stairs, need to be thrown down a
flight bv way of repairing the injury. Per
haps this is a misinterpretation of the doc
trine, and at any rate has nothing to do
with mosquitoes, whose beads cannot be
broken in anv such war.
The usual remedv for mosquitoes is to
slap one's self violently. It does not hurt
the mosquito. Iwit it braces the sufferer up
and teaches him to endure pain.

SARI.K SHKKP. —There is no profit In
black wool ur.d it brings five cents per
pound less in the market than while.
Some years since, when every rural
household contained a splnning-wheU
and loom, upon which the matron spun
out the material with which the family
was clothed, black wool was in demand
and tilled an important niche iu the
domestic economy. Now the great fac
tories monopolize that business, and
are able to furnish the people with yarn
and cloth better and cheaper than it can
be made at home. To-day there proba
bly is not a yard of cloth manufactured
domestically where there were a thou
sand fifty years ago. The factory pre
fers white wool, which can be dyed to
suit their purposes, while it has been
found more dilticult to control ttie ir
regular shadiug of the black. The
preventive against black wool is easy.
There is no black blood in sheep, white
or black; no pigmentnm in the skin of
sheep, as in the races, only difference
in the outgrowth or wool. A white
ewe will more frequently a
black lamb thau a black ewe, and a
black ewe will more frequently have a
white lamb than a black. Were there
black and white blood iu the sheep the
reverse of this would be true. White
ewes unmixed with black will always
have white lambs. Put only one black
sheep with the white (lock and there
will be many black laiubs; mix the
black ewes with the white and they
will have a majority of white lambs.
The inevitable couolusion is that the
marking ef the lamb does not arise
from any distinctive characteristic in
the blood, but from the impressions
made upon the mind of the mother.
She looked upon the black innovator
with wonder and stamped the character
of her lamb; the black ewe took in the
beauties of her white companions and
tixed the destiny of hers Not long
siiue, Mr. T. S. Tinslev, of Missouri,
writing to The Rural il'orld, inquired
a to what could be the cause of his hav
ing live black lambs in a flock of forty
head, which had been bred toaCotswold
and "had no black rams there." lie
mentioned Incidentally hat "there was
a black stray wether tnat took up with
his flock." This accounts for the "milk
in the cocoa nut" and is an illustration
of the fact set forth above. Missouri
is the home and birthplace of ttie black
sheep. Some time since we bought 800
sheep there, in lots of from 5 to 100,
and when we got through we had 240
black ones. In purchases made of
those natives you have to take black
ones, grandmothers, grandfathers and
tiie flock through. Ovec-loaded with
black, desperate measures were in or
der. 'Ahey were put on strong diet,
and as they were ready, a load was
shipped to Chicago. "A car-load of
black mutton!"—the flrst and only ar
rival of the kind ever in that market.
So rare was it that it was a matter of
comment iu the local papers. Four
and one-half ecu's per pound sufficed
us, and they took them in. The black
sheep is a healthy, hardy animal, but
the wool being depreciated in the mar
ket, they should be avoided, and when
ou hand, committed to the shambles.
PROTECT THE HORSES FROM THE
FLIES.—A cotton sheet will IHJ found a
great protection to the horses working
in the harvest field. It screens them
from the heat, from flies, and from dust,
and the labor of cleaning them is les
sened. As mentioned it will bo found
desirable, when horses are washed, to
use a t*oft sponge and water in which
some carbolic soap has keen dissolved.
This cools the skin, assists perspiration,
removes the strong pungent smell,
greatly refreshes the animals, and
drives away files. Wherd* there is a
river near by, a bath in the evening
will be agreeaole and safe, If the horses
are kept in the water only two or three
minutes, are driven home at once and
rubied dry. A scraper for the horses
may be made of a piece of the scythe,
with the edge dulled on the stone; with
this the sweat or moisture, after wash
ing, may be easily r moved.
THK COW that is fleshy gives milk
that is richer In butter than the cow
that is poor and thin. One that has
reached her full maturity gives better
milk than she did before she reached
thai age; a cow that is gaining flesh
day by day gives richer milk than a
cow that is losing gradually. The con
dition of the pastures have also much to
do with the quality of the production.
Regular feeding, It not generous, is
better than food giveii in excess for a
few days, and then stinted, r food
giveu plentifully, but at irregular per
iods. Animals do not thrive unless
perfectly contented, and never permit
ted to get hungry. The same hours for
feeding should be kept regularly
throughout the whole season.
WHKN cattle chew leather, wood, and
old bones it indicates a lack of phos
phate of lime in their food, which is re
quired to supply bone material. A
teaspoonful of hone meal given daily
with their grain will correct the habit
and supply the deficiency which in
duces it.
Phantoms of the Stage.
Three nights before the death of George
Frederick Cooke he was playing Richard
111., and in the scene where the coffin of
the dead king is brought on, the actor start
led with a fright so intense that the audi
ence roae perfectly thrilled by the look
and manner. He declared that he read
plainly inscribed on the walnut pall his
own name.
Macready was so morbidly afraid of a
toad that he almost fainted at sceng a cari
cature of two frogs doing the fencing scene
in Hamlet.
Lucille Western had a vision of her sis
ter's deatii, which she recounted graphically
before the death occurred and all the par
ticulars were afterward verified.
One of the most famous managers of the
present time is extremely superstitious, and
gets in a nervous state for weeks before ha
brings out a new play. On one occasion
he saw a coffin in the flats, caused by the
bad work of the scenic artist in letting the
moonlight slune through the trees in the
shape of a coffin ; on another occasion the
fall of the old horseshoe that was nailed
over the stage door gave him an ominous
fright for a week.
The elder Booth and many other great
actors believed in those airy forerunners
that come in from out the vague and
boundless dreamland.

an abundance of others, with which the
luxuriant swampy thickets of these regions
abound, furnish them with a perpetual
feast. He builds his nest in different
places, according to the lutitude he resides
in. A solitary thornbush, orange, cedar or
holly tree are favorite s[K>ts. Always ready
to defend, but never anxious to conceal bis
nest. During the time the female is set
ting, neither cat or dog, animal or man can
approach the nest without being attacked.
His. whole vengeance is directed against bis
natural enemy the hiack snake; whenever
this reptile is discovered, the mate darts at
it with the rapidity of an arrow, striking
it violently aud incessantly against the
head; the snake soon becomes insensible,
and the bird redoubles bis exertions, lie
seizes and lifts it from the ground, heating
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
ami cries of animais. In confinement he
loses a little of the power and energy of
his song, In his domesticated state, when
he commences his career of song, it is ini
|x>Bßiblc to stand by uninterested. He
whistles for the dog—Ciesar starts up, wags
his tail and runs to meet his master. He
squeaks out like u young chicken and the
lien runs about witli outstretched wings
and bristled feathers clucking, to protect
her hrrod. The harking 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 aud boil them, also boil two good
sized eggs, remove them from the shell,
innsli them tine with the potatoes, then put
away in a cool place; give a large spoon
ful every hour or so, feeding him by hand
just as you would an infant. In the month
of August or September, a bit of a sweet
apple may be accasionally added. A table
spoonful of ant's eggs soaked and mixed
with tins Ivjou wiii prove beneficial. In
the cage place plenty of river sand, sprink
ling it freely on the liottom; also give them
plenty of water to drink, and a batli once
a day in the morning; never allow the
bath tub to remain long in the cage; after
the bird lias bathed, remove it, as there
is probable dangnr of the bird leing
drowned.
