A Man Vho IIa3 Devoted Tweilty
Yoar to Their Peculiarities.
A Tu ins or Two for Nrleutiflc Fel-low--A
31nqutto Battle
and a Waltz.
(Louisville Courier-Journal.)
"I have devotod twenty years to a study of
the habits of iiiusquitoes, and a curious lot of
creature they are." . Ho wjs a withered-up,
yellow-faced, parchment-tddnned little man
ith bright littlo eyes peering out of biugly
glasses that had been worn t long as to niakt
deep furrows in Lia nose. Kut a bright,
chirrupy littlo fellow, withal. Ho had on a
musty black suit and a big collar. He was iu
the rear room of the seroud floor of No. 110
Kast Market street. A strange little den of n
room it was. The walls were bunz with all
hinds of insects; the tallies, aud chairs, and
bureau were all covered with theuL Glassy
eyed beetles glared from between, golden
winged butteiilies, nnd odd-looking little
round bugs were wedged into all fcorta of out
of tlie way places.
"These other insects I harepiekfHJ up every
where," said the little man with a quick,
carelo-M motion toward tho strangely taijs
tril walls. "TLw tarantula," pic-king up a
big, hairy, spider-like crewture, "I found in
Texa.i, and had a l.ard tiiae caU-hing him.
Ain't he a fine sj)Ccin.on, though?" said the
little fellow, lovingly putting tho frightful
creature back in its placo. "I have all kinla
of iiisocts, and have made them a life study.
I have a littlo money, enough to live 011, and
am able to devote all my time to them.
But of all the insects, the musquita is my fa
vorite. I have so identified nij self with their
habits that I feel sometimes is though I
would like to fly away and bum-z-z-z cfT into
the air and out into the gulden sunlight aud
never Ihj bothered with mortal troubles
again."
There was a look of such intensity in the
w ithered, parchment face, in the bright littlo
eyes, in the outstretched hand., so much
earnestness and longing, that tho reporter
half expected to seo tho transformation go
into eltect at once.
"I am writing a liook on lnusquitoca," con
tinued he, after the excitement li.nl died out
of his face. "I am goin? to call it 'Twenty
Wars Amonjr Musquitoes, by William P.
Di ieffeld,' and I will tell theso scientific fel
lows a thing or two. I havo what I call a
hatchery over there in the corner, and I
make all sorts of experiments with them.
You see it looks like a tub, and has a little
water in the bottom. Now, if you look
closely you will see that largo musquito in
the corner there, separated a little from that
covey of sabethes there; no, not that ono
with the red belt, the one next to him. That
is ' a female, and a finer specimen never
lived. She is three years old, and at tho
least calculation has had ten thousand chil
dren. "Larger than the ordinary musquito? you
say. "Why, of course; Aspasia thnt's her
name is three and three-quarters times tvs
large as tho ordinary culex. I cross races,
and Aspasia is a cross between tho Florida
anopheles and the Mexican ades. I never
let the air of this room fall below 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, and I find that with this tem
perature the average Ufa of a healthy mus
quito is 5 years 9 months and 15 days. I
have one old mala who is 10 years old. His
probosc;s is useless paralyzed, I think and
bis eyes have lonr since become useless to
him. His antenrue have dropped off, and of
the six sharp bristles within his sucking pro
boscis, which he had when I caught him, not
one remains. He couldn't even bite a child,"
continued tho old man, mournfully, looking
over toward where the gray veteran sat on
the edge of the tub.
The old man's tone had dropped into a mus
ing, subdued monotone. Arousing himself,
he said: "I have had some queer experiences
with them. I do this to amuse myself. I
don't pay much attention to it. however,"
added the little man apologetically, as he
moved toward a long glass case toward one
end of the room, which was almost entirely
hidden by a black cloth. " I keep this over,
because the light is painful to them," con
tinued the old man as he drew the curtain off
and revealed a shallow box covered on three
sides with glass. The bottom was covered
with musquitoes of all sizes. Sliding the top
aside the old man mode a peculiar bumming
sound with his mouth. So natural was it his
companion involuntarily brushed his hand
through the air, as if to ward off a wily and
enterprising musquito. Presently out of tho
b- come a swarm of insects. The old man
hcla his brown, skinny, open palm out, and
taey alighted on it with tuat delicate, hesi
tating manner peculiar to them. He counted
them over. There were sixteen. He con
tinued his strange humming, and the insects
formed into a column two deep and circled
about his band, keeping time to the old fel
low's peculiar humming. Suddenly he
stopped, and the insects stopped their march
ing. The two that were at tho head of tho
column, and who were apparently the
leaders, drew off at some little distance and
kept up a long-continued and monotonous
singing.
In a moment the old man began to hum in
a higher key, and another swarm came out
of the box. He extended his other brown,
skinny hand, and after circling about they
alighted on it They also formed a column
and marched about. Then the old man drew
bis two witbored palms together slowly. The
two columns were opposite now, and he be
gan to sing, or rather hiss, in a harsh, irritgt
inj: whisper. In a moment the two columni
rushed at each other, and wero circling round
and lost in the mazes of an ever-shifting
cloud of wings and long, hair-like legs. Tho
hissing suddenly cease t, and a full, emphatic,
guttural sound took its place. The effect
was instantaneous. The clouds slowly fell
apart, the mass of legs and whirring wings
aud long bodies separated, and in a few mo
ments they were each ou the hand from
which they started.
"The musquitoes are governed altogether
by sound," said the queer little man as he put
theui back into their box. "1 believe that all
things that have consciousness, that can feel
pain and pleasure, are able to communicate
their feelings one to the other. By a careful
otwervariou I have found what affects mus
quitoes. In a dim, vaue way they under
stand each other. When you learn what
sounds produce certaiu impressions, the secitrt
of governing them or 'training them is out.
Tliat was a battle you saw a moment agoi.
None of them were hurt. It took me neat ly
two years to learn tbem to do this.. Thex.
nre all females. Dy tho way, may be you
did not know that the female musquitoes are
the blood-suckers, and that the males nevei

"I have a littie hand of five that I hatched
in "TO that dance tolerable welL" He again
lifted the box and uttered a low coaxing
whistle.
In a moment Gve large insect come flyign
op. He held out his hand, and after they
bad aligbtd. began to whistle one of Strauss'
waltxea. The musquito began to circl"
Mbout. kping tolerably good time to the
uniiuc After be had put tbem back in the
Ihjx he turned to the reiKirter and said "My

NEW YORK DIVORCES.
Wbat a Judge Bays Tho Shystn
Who Manage Things A 'Round
tho.Corner Business.
"Caspar" in Detroit Free Press.
Husband or w ife takes a fancy to snm
Other person for a partner, but present obli
gations stand in the way. They can bo got
out of tLe way only by divorce, so a lawyer
in bunted up, a petition filed, testimony pro
duced, and, presto! the whole business if
done. Hut not always honestly doue oh, no,
not by a very long shot. In a great inuny
eases the business is a fraud from bAgiuning
to end.
We had a word on that ix.int from the
liench itself tho other day. Ths man who
said tho word, Judge DonJiue, of tho su
preme court, has signed quite a lot of divorce
dcrei iu his time. This is what he said:
"Thcie is undoubtedly fraud in many divorce
cas, and w hat I mean by that is that the
business of obtaining divorces by question
able means has not lieen suppressed, not
withstanding the extra vigilance to detect it
now exercised by the courte. I myself have
either suspected or lieen convinced in a num
ber of cases that fraud had been practiced,
yet was unable to obtain conclusive evidence
to tliat effect, and the conspirators thus
escajxii the punishment tho law prescribes
and w hich they merited."
"Who are the perpetrators of the fraud?'1
Scallawag lawyers, of course. There's a
gang of rascally lawyers in New York who
make a business of getting divorces by
crooked means, and are always ready to take
up any eae tliat comes along. They have
no professional standing, and respectable
lawyers do not rec ignizethem at all, but they
enre nothing fr that. Bread and butter ia
what they aro after, and they'll do any
thing to get it. The Tombs shyster of the
old tim was regarded on all sides as the low
est tyjic of tho profession. We have Tombs
shysters still, but they are no longer the low
est The lawyers who make a Sjxcialty of di
vorce are rightfully entitled to that rank,
and got it. 1 heir plan of operations is pretty
well known. All that the client has to do is
to put tho case in their hands and pay a fee
in advance. Most of tho divorce suits go to
referees instead of being tried in court. If the
healing is not actually secret it is, in most
cases, the next thing to it There are no
reporters and there is no audience. The di
vorce lawyer presents his case and brings ou
his witnesses.
Who are the witnesses! Why, in many in
stances, neither party to the suit ever heard
of them before. They are scamps whom the
divorce lawyer keeps in tow for just such
occasions. Their testimony is a lie from first
to last. The lawyer tells them beforehand
what they must swear to, and often coaches
thorn to see that they have the story strs'ght.
They swear to puisc-nl knowledge of things
which never occurred, and to acquaintance
with persons they never saw. If the other sida
does not appear, as often happens, because
proper notice lias not been given, the sworn
lies of the scamps go unquestioned. The
referee may possibly have suspicions, but he
must go by the " evidence," and there it is.
No 0110 has appeared to refute it. He reports
to tho court that the charges are proven- the
court assumes .that it is all right, and a do
creo of divorce is issued. So the way is
clear, and the person getting the decree may
go right off and marry again. Perhaps the
other party to the new marriage is waiting
around the corner.
It is all a round-the-corner business and an
exceedingly bad business every way. And
much more ot it is carried on iu No w York
than the public supposes. As the trials are
not reported, unless they contain something
sensational, the public known nothing about
them. It would be a good thing for morals
if the divorce lawyers could be suppressed.
But they probably can't, any more than the
quack doctors, but the quacks defy it aud go
right ou in the old way. So would tho di
vorce lawyers, no doubt, even with a law for
their suppression on the statute book.
The MItu4ian Leather " KcercC.
Chicago Times.
"I think that is a mistake," said Sir. Fliny
Jewell, of Jewell & Sons, when shown a
published statement to the effect that Ameri
can tanners had never been able to closi-ly
imitate the beauty and odor of the celebrated
Russia leather. "I believe Russia leather is
now made at or near Newark. I know my
brother, when minister at St Petersburg,
discovered the secret You have beard the
manner of the discovery, have you not?"
"I have beard several versions of it."
"Well, 1 will tell you the true version.
Over in Russia they didn't think be had any
practical knowledge of mechanics they
thought he must be just as helpless as they.
One day ho was going through a tannery
with some of the officials. Reaching a pas
sageway he noticed some mixture in barrels.
He didn't recognize its character, and thrust
his fingers in several times as a sort of
investigation. There was no bandy washing
room, so he completed the tour with his
soiled hands, but as soon as he reached his
room he washed up. In passing the right
hand over his face as all men will you know
he caught his nose between bis thumb and
finger. There, most certainly, was the odor
of Russia leather. 'Russian leather to be
sure,' he exclaimed in ecstacy. He repeated
the operation aud found the same odor. The
secret was out. He didn't know the agents
used, but it proved they were employed, not
to produce the fragrance, but because they ,
were cheap. The general immediately wrote
to Mr Scbultz, of The Shoe and Leather Re
porter, aud the process was tried in this
country The base of it was asafoeti ia, which
is also, as you may know, the base of Wor
cestershire sauce. Do I think the beauty of
Russia leather has ever been reproduced
here? Oh, yes, I believe it has; but the odor
is all there is to it. You find Russia leather
pocket-books for 50 cents, do you i.ot? The
odor Is genuine, isn't it? Well, that's not
the imported material, but the leather --.ic-cessfully
tanued here by the Russian
method."

The difference between Bennett and Greeley
was evident in their selection of rural homes. '
Greeley located ou the east side, which wac
plebeian first at Turtle Bay, and then at
Chappaqua, which at that time was an in
ferior place. Bennett, on the other band,
bought a large establishment on the Hudson
river in the centre of a highly aristocratic
oommuuity. He fitted it up in elegant style,
but it did not realize his expectations, and
uuice lie passed his last days in bis Fifth ave
nue residence. The out-of town house stand
at Fort Washington, eight miles from the
city ball, and being in the hands of a tenant
is subject to neglect and decay. The present
Dwner, eveu wheu tu America, rarely visit
the place, uud he will probably put it into
the market as soon as prices reach a satisfao
torv ouotation.

The skins, the meu said, were sold to the
tanners. In the winter and early summer
tho cats aro skinned, and tho hido is used in
the lining of winter circulars for ladies. Two
curious uses are, however, frequently made
of the dogs. Their fat is carefully taken off
and manufactured into "dog oil," which
among superstitious persons, especially the
colored people, possesses almost miraculous
virtue iu tho cure of various diseascs.but chief
ly of rheumatism. In all localities where tho
colored population is large this oil is for sale,
and always sells for a good price. It is also
in demand for consumptives. Very fre
quently people who have been pronounced in
curables go to the establishment and beg the
people there to sell them some of the oil ob
tained from the dog fat Occasionally per

niRIKQ OUT DIAMONDS.
How Cohtl5' Jewels are Obtained for
Reception and Weddings.
Boston Globe
"Tliat was an expens' ve set of jewelry,'
remarked a reporter to the proprietor o a
large Washington street, -store, alluding i a
set of diamonds u young lady had just taken
away with her,
"It is the most expensive sot we have in
tho store," was the reply," but she has only
hired them."
"Is that a common thing in Boston?" asked
iho newspaper man.
"Most certainly. Many of our best custo
mers hire a set of jewelry for an eveu ug,
and for a comparatively small prico excite
the envy and jealousy of their friends. I
wonder you have never heard of it before.
We take our costliest gems and reset them to
please our customers, and then rent them.
Of people whom we know we never require
any security, but x strauger would, of course,
have to deposit the full value of the gems.
There are two of our finest sots at Swampscott
now, where I understand th.ey havo beeu
much praLsedaand their temporary possessors
congratulated.
"A funny thing happened in connection
with this branch of cur business. There was
to be a large German, and a young lady, well
known in this city, caaie to make arrange
ments about a set of diamonds. I was not
in the store at the time and knew nothing of
the matter, so when I caaio in I let out the
same set to another young belle. Iu the af
ternoon No. 1 came in and asked significantly
if her diamonds had been cleaned. While
she was talking No. 2 put tho same question
to me. Tho situation was very awkward,
but I explained the matter and all was finally
settled in favor of No. 1, tho young ladies
pledging each other and me to eteina.1 se
crecy. " 'I wouldn't have it get out for tao world,
you know, explained No. 1.
"Another branch of our business is to rent
silver services. Theso were very well paid
for. Most of tho designs aro antique, and
some of them have figured in many Boston
homes as highly treasured heir-loouis. At
weddings we frequently furnish large collec
tions of bric-a-brac and other articles to swell
the number of 'gifts' and make a fine display.
Wo rarely get much for this, as the jeweler's
name is frequently published whou there is
anything particularly beautiful given as a
present, and the ad vertking compensates u.
When the End ot I'olygamy Conies.
ID. Conway in San Francisco Chronicle.
In the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage,
given to Joseph Smith, Nauvoo, .July 12.
184:3," it is written: "And again, verily,
verily, 1 say ucto you. if any man have u
wife who holds tb9 key of this power, and be
reaches unto her tho law of my priesthood,
then shall she believe and administer unto
mm, or she shall be destroyod, saitb the Lord
your God, for 1 will destroy her.' This con
stantly repeated sentence is the iron out of
which many marriage rings are made in
Utah; they bind the Mormon woman, but
she does uot pretend to love her fetter. Iu
the breast of every woman in that territory
there is an enemy or a otential traitor to the
system of polygamy, and when, as must
sometime be the case, the struggle with
polygamy becomes a recognized war for the
deliverance of woman, the end of the
Deseret dispensation will be swiftly it is to
be feared violently reached. As Goethe
wrote: "Evei the womanly ltadetb us ob
ward."
Tho gastrometor of The Rochester PosV
Express is responsible for this advice: "You
should never chew a raw. oyster. Just plat
turn lengthwise across the end of y out tongue,
elevate your chin u trifle, and after that you
will have nothing to do but .pay for ium."
