I ' LABRADOR MOSQUITOES. Terrible Pest to Travelers and Nstlyee In the Northland. 'No account of travel In Labrador can be complete wit liont some mention of the terrible pest of mosquitoes.

At times ur light so attracted them we went outside to see If It were not raining, for the constant tapping of the mos quitoes against the ennvas sounded so exactly like rain that It was Impossible to tell the difference. On many ulghls I had to give up the observation of stars for latitude and longitude because a candle could not be kept lit long enough to adjust the artificial horizon. We unfortunately had no chimney, and the mosquitoes warmed so thickly that without this protection the flame was quickly mothered. There were but few nights cool enough to afford us any relief. iWe found that It required a tempera ture within a few degrees of actual freezing to subdue thein. Forest and Stream. Improved.

"While the piano tuner Is required to know every part In the makeup of a piano, he Is not neees sarlly a piano repairer. Nor can the average piano maker or repairer tune a piano. There are hundreds of expert makers and repairers of pianos who Wouldn't be able to tell oue tune from another. "The piano tuner Is born, not made. Ills acute sense of the vibrations of Round Is given to hint nt bis birth, and the mnn who hasn't got this sense enn't become n piano tuner. , "Quite a number of years ago, when Hans von Hulow was In America, I tuned the piano upon which he played. II wouldn't allow the Instrument to be tuned in the wareroom, one of his whims being that even a short removal' of a piano knocks It nil out of tune something In that theory at that So I tuned It upon the platform upon which he was to perforin. He stood over me all the time, letting out ago nized whoops and German cuss words until I couldn't help but lnugh in his fncc. , 1 "Finally, when 1 hnd the piano al most tuned, he gave a few more sbrleks and. grabbing the wrench, be gan doing the Job all over again. I let him go ahead, and Inside of three minutes he had the plnno so hopelessly out of tune that It took me three hours to get It Into shape again. Herr von Bulow had to pay double for this little exhibition of temper." Spokane Sports man Review. How Dickens Learned to Write.

Tho occasion was n great electric light bicycle race, and the attendance, wns not Icrs than 10,000 people. There were fifty entries, two of whom. James Somervllle and Percy Cliff, were not only professional rivals, but deadly enemies. Itoth were considered ex pert riders. From the start of the race Somer vllle led, with Cliff a close second. Somervllle kept the lend throughout and came Into the Inst lap with Cliff only a few feet behind hi in. When about twenty-five yards from the fin ish Somervlllo put on a terrific burst of speed and drew away from his rival. Suddenly at this point his grip on tho linndlo bar relaxed, and be fell forward. The machine, however, un dcr the tremendous Impulse It had re ceived, rnced ahead like an arrow, the rider hanging limply over the handle bar. Four yards from the tape the ma chine slowed down a little. At this point the front wheel of Cliff's ma chine struck tho hind wheel of Bom- ervllle's, sending both wheel and rider across the tape. Somervlllo won the race, but he was dend several seconds before ho crossed the tape. Chicago Record-Herald. ANCIENT DOCTORS. torn of the Things They Knew Twelva Hundred Years Ago. The Itusslnn Academy of Medlylue after examining a Tibetan "Hand book of Medicine," first published 1,200 years ago, acknowledges that It con tains many truths discovered or redis covered by modern physicians. Here are some extracts from the ancient volume: "Number of bones In the human body, BOO; number of nerves, 09; num ber of pores. 11.000.000. "The heart Is the king of the organs and the staff of life. The lungs em brace It tis a mother does her child. Sicknesses are due to man's malice, Ig norance and Inability to curb the pas sions, for these things Interfere with the proper nourishment of the human organs. All unkind thoughts react upon the heart and liver." The methods for ascertaining the state of a person's health were very similar to those methods employed to daylooking at the tongue, feeling the pulse, etc. Vegetable medicines are advocated; also baths, compresses, mas sage, bloodletting, etc. Fines were Im posed upon physicians who did not keep their Instruments clean.

A friend of mine ridicules the Idea that In the carrier pigeon It can be sight which guides It on Its home ward trail. But my friend should really study the mechanism of the eye of the bird before he skeptlclzcs. 1 am sure that from heights at which it Is Itself Invisible the falcon can note Its prey, and Its eye Is simply a self adjusting telescope.
