said the president. "! confess myself
unable to see the treaty in any such

"To have these treaties not ratified

Baffling the Mosquito.
I.ast summer we were pestered with
the nwful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty In our
bedroom, at midnight The following
day I took a woolen cloth, put a little

shies of the wire mesh of the screens
with It That night one lonely inos
rpilto disturbed our rest Two or three
times each week I rubbed the screens
in like manner, and we enjoyed peace
the rest of the summer The odor
from the oil remains only a few min
illch. and the oil Itself preserves the
screens ami keeps away flies.— Good
