"Tho man who Is married to ono or thoso fomalo tyrants with firm chin and haughty demeanor has no need of purgatorial fire In tho llfo to come.

"A cross, cantankerous Jado loves to glvo her husband a pleco of her mind, and imually, like a mosaic, her mind Is composed of many pieces. "Scolding wives live long and die naru. unoy posbcss vitality, volubility and sometimes vituperation.

PANAMA "SKEETERS." NINETY KINDS ARE FOUND IN THE CANAL ZONE. Scientist, After an Investigation In the Isthmian Region, Makes Remark able Collection of Little Disease Bearers. Washington. A government bug hunter hns been down on the Isthmus of Panama collecting mosquitoes In tho cannl zono. Ho secured larvae of S3 species, of "which 30 wcro now to sclonco. , With seven additional spe cies already known, this constitutes tho Inrgcst number recorded from any one locality on earth. Anybody who Is Interested may seo tho mosquitoes for himsolf In tho Na tional musoum, whoro they havo been deposited. August Busck Is tho namo of this scientific collector who now holds tho mosquito record. Ho spent threo months on tho isthmus during tho mosquito breeding time, covering tho end of tho dry season and tho early part of tho rainy season. It has cost, and is costing, a lot of money to protect tho Uvea of tho man working In tho canal zono from'tho 90 sepnrato species of mosquitoes now known to exist along tho route of tho jvatorway. Mosquitoes do not fly very far from tho placo whero they are born. They keep close to their food supply, Thoso that nffect tho Inhabitants of n town or camp normally do not como from a distance greater than 200 yards. It Is this fact that rondora tho sanitary work of tho canal commission possible Tho laud about ovcry settlement ia cleared by tho removal of all brush, undergrowth nnd grass; only shado ajul fruit troea aro left, and theso are thinned out to admit sunlight and freo ventilation. When practicable, swamps nnd low lands arc filled In with some of tho Immense supply of material taken from the Culcbra cut. Then tho wholo area Is drained so that tho surface water will run off. Ditches and slow-flowing BtreamB aro kept clear of mosquitoes by drippings of oil or of copper sulphate. Swamps nnd pools aro oiled at least once n week. Water barrels, huckoiB and palls must bo screened or oiled, and all tin cans must bo burled. Even tho cast off machines, brush-covered relics of French occupation, aro drained of their puddles of water. If many In sects Infest a camp or town, it Is fumigated. By carrying out these methods of general extermination ex ceptionally thorough results havo al ready been obtained. Ono Important feat already hns been accomplished.

Schultz then seated himself on tho far end of tho plank, to keep It down, and his assistants below hean to mosquito, tho only kind in America spreading this infection, scientifically called Btegomyla, Is very scarce. It Is possible to llvo for weoks on tho lino of tho canal without seeing n slnglo specimen. This mosquito Is a strictly domestic insect, never found away from man. It breeds only In artificial receptacles, such aB barrels, water coolers, bottles, tin cans, etc., In nnd around human habitations. Knowlmr 'this, It Is well within tho power of tho nuuiontics to ellmlnnto nbsolnto.y this i dangerous insect, nnd render a yellow fovor epidemic Impossible on account of tho total absenco of tho only agent which spreads it.
