Sbveee Logic—A gentleinun who has lived in a mosquito neighborhood for several yesva, and has had a good opportunity to study the effects of haviag been bitten, gives his advice ad follows :"A good remedy ia to let the biting operation be continued until finished. If, when the insect has alighted, iuserted ids beak and injected the poison, the hand of the victim comes down and finishes, the insect's earthly career, the poison reniuins in the wound, and pain is experienced. If, however, the operation is not interrupted, and the veracious monster has leave to drink his fill, he naturally draws back into his own abdominal cavities the rankling poison, ia company With the sufferer's blood. The sufferer will then feel little inconvenience frtjcj the bito."—American Taper.
