Of the dlscorery that ma laria was caused by mosquitoes, It la related how Dr. Ixiw and I>r. Bam bon lived In the uialarlooa Iloman Campagna without quinine. They re tired at sunset to a mosquito proof hut, with double doors and windows of wire net, and they did not lear# un til sunrise. Tho fact that they re mained Immune, while the attendants, Bleeping outside, contracted malaria, confirmed tho belief that the moe , qultoes were responsible. Bat how did they carry the disease? At first it was thought ta.be by wa ter. To settle the question lire mos quitoes which bad blttAi Infected peasants were sect borne and two members of tho school submitted to be bitten by them. They both went down with malaria. Again, how did the mosquitoes transmit the germ? By cutting sections of the proboscis the malarious parasite was fonnd. It breaks through the sklo of the pro bo ats snd is transmitted at the tlmo of the sting. From the first conjecture to the final proof was a series of csre ful experiments, ending with the slic ing of the moequlto's proboscis. Now, this Is finer than fine balr. It Is nec essary to stop to think. For It Is eas ier to imaglnstflhe triumph of the proof than the owicste operation that produced it—London Standard. .LIGHTING BY GAS. It Was a Costly Process When It Wss First Established. The first Incorporated gas company was tho National Light and Heat Com pany of England, established In 1800. In America lho first gas company was Incorporated In Ilaltlmore In 1810, the second ono In Boston In 1822, and tho next ono was the New York Gaslight T y Mnnapir, Incorporated in 1823. / ' trior to 1830 the gas business of tills country was nominal, but tho price probably was responsible for Its slow development From 1824 to 1828, says Moody's Magazine, tho New York Gas light company sold gas to consumers at the rate of t>o a thousand cubic feet The first artificial Illuminating gas was produced In England about 1720 ' by one Dr. Hales, but not until 1780 was a practical test mnde. In that year the Earl of Dundonald of Scot land arranged an apparatua by which be lighted his castle with gas. The same year William Hurdock of Bir mingham, England, Introduced gas as a light In his workshops st Redruth and Cornwall. As Mr. Murdock wss the first man to reap any commercial benefit from the Discovery of the use of illuminat ing gas, be way properly be accredited as the father of modern public utili ties. In 1813 Ix>ndon bridge was Illu minated by gas. snd five years later gas was In general use throughout the main part of London. Rsd Letter Dsys. The origin of a "red letter day" baa been traced back to the third century. Gregory, bishop of Caesarea, sealous for the conversion of pagan a, found them unwilling to give up their cus tomary recreations at the festlvala of their gods, so, taking a leaf out of their book, be Instituted feetlvsls In honor of saints and martyrs. This ex ample soon led to the Institution of holy days, now corrupted Into hall days- In old si mioses all such holy days were set forth In red tak, the rest being In blsck; hence the terra "red letter dsy" for any notable occa sion. Others say that tbs origin of Ihe expression Is much mors recent aad Is due to the fact that Saints' day, tbe Bth of November, tbs Muffs blHbday and accession and King Charles' dsy Were slmllsrly marked off In red as bolldsys for tbe Bsak of England, evi dently la tbe tlmee of tbe IstsrMuam •-London Telegraph. Political Animosities. Political animosities today sre sel dom carried lato private Ufa la the past lost tbs opposite was tbe rule. "Coke of Norfolk" once stated that when he was a child bis grandfather took him on bis knee and said, "Now, remember. Tom. as long as jam live never trust a Tory," snd he used to add, "I never have, snd, by Osorg* 1 . never will." O. W. B. Russell, too, tells of an eccentric maiden lady whom be knew In his youth who. having ■pent her life in the Innermost circles of aristocratic Whlggery. always re fused to enter a cab until she bad ex torted from tbe driver an esterases that be had never carried cases of In fectious disease, that he was not a Pnseylte snd that ha wss s Whlg.- London Graphic.

You can't beat me dat way."—Judge's LI brary. Punishment ef Children. Parents should remember that every distressing, bloodcurdling story told to -a chlld, every superstitious fear In Stilled Into lis young life, and their mental attitude toward the child, their whole treatment of It. are simply mak ing phonographic records In Its nature which will be reproduced with scien tific exactness in It* future life, says Orison Hwelt Marden In Success Maga zine. Whatever you do, never punish a child when It Is suffering with fear. It Is a cruel thing to punish children tbe way most mothers do anyway, but to punish a child whou It Is already quivering with terror, and especially when you sro angry. Is terrible. Tbe same principle appMee to punishing children In school. Last ef the Old Orators. The Iste Senator John Warwick Daniel of Virginia may be aald to have been the last of the old fash loned orators In the house of the con script fathers. Ills fame will rest not on his lawbooks, which were excel* lent; not on Ills speeches In house and senate, which were strong, but on two masterly orations on Lee and Stone wall Jackson delivered be(f&«fiUi» e«r 4*:.. into congress, -it may weK be doubted whether anything superior to them, considered simply as orations, can be found In the literature of the world.

When Water Was Avoided. p Until comparatively recent times there was • medical prejudice against drinking water. Sir William Vaughan * In his "Natural and Artificial Diree- I tlons For Health" declared that water r "ought seldom to be drunk." Another doctor admitted that It might be healthful for children, but not for men —"except some odd, abstemious one among a thousand perchance, degen - era to and of a doggish nature, for dogs i of nature do abhor wine." Indeed, the recommendation of water as a bever age was supposed to be the sign of the I quack. Even Wesley In his "Primitive Physic" wrote of It with caution; "Drink only water If It agreoa with your stomach; If not, good, clear sin all 1 beer." s i . t John Wilson, proprietor of a 1 "social club" in Salisbury, was | convicted in two caaee in Rowan t county court for selling liquor.
