A Terrible Pest.

The worst insect pest Of tropical America
is the terrible fire-ant (dwmica soevissi,na),
whose sting is ikened to the puncture Of
red-hot needle. II is found only on sandy
soils in open places. and seems to thrive
most near houses and in weedy villages.
Towns are sometimes deserted on account
Of this little tormentor. 1t is a small spe-
eies Of 2 shiny red color, not greatly differ
ing from the common red singing ant of
our own country, except that the pain and
irritation caused by its stings are much
greater. Where it abounds the whole soil
is undermined by it; the ground is perfor-
ated with the entrances to their subterra-
mean galleries, and q little sandy dome oc-
ours here aud there where the insects bring
their young to rooeive warmth neax the sur
face. Homes are soyerrtn with them, they

Who Was st. Patrick.

The ordinary portrait of st. Patrick Is
drawn largely from imagination, and Is col
ored by superstition and priestly design, as
well as by national feeling; and the colors
are not those of the fifth, but Of the twelfth
or fourteenth century and his life, as thus
set forth, is made up of the boldest and
baldest legends.
Who, then, was the real st. Patrick He
was very devout and useful missionary
who labored In Ireland with eminent zeal
and success, and who has left behind him
certain writings such, for example, as 1.-THE
Confession of Patrick, the Letters to Co
roticus." etc., which throw clear light on
both his faith and his Christian character,
and show him to have been what we should
now call faithful evangelical Protestant
missionary and minister of the Cross of
Christ. He was born about the year A. D.
1917, not far from Alcluyd, on the river Clyde,
afterward named Dumbrton, whence the
modern Dumbarton. His grandfather, Poti-
tus, was Presbyter; and his father was
Calpurnius, Christian deacon, and also a
Decurio, IA magistrate and chancellor of
rank and influence; and his mother was
Conchessa, Christian Indy of Britain, of
superior character, who trained up her son
n the nurture and adinonition of the Lord.
His original name was Succath, afterward
changed to Patrick
When Patrick was about sixteen years Of
age, an attack was made on his native town
by pirates, and he, with some two hundred
of the villagers, was carried away captive in
to Ireland. This captivity and its ha rdships
led him to thoughtfulness and much pra yer
And an account, which he afterwdrd wrote
of his conversion. shows thorough heart
work carried on within him by the Holy
Spirit, and shows, too, that his religion was
not ritual but spiritual; not matter Of
form, but faith; notpenance, but repcn-
tance; not saint-worship but humble and
grateful alteration of God not priest-work,
but heart-work; not mere reform Of con-
duct, but the regeneration of the soul q
religion whose substance is the grace Of
Jesus Christ, aud whose power Is the grace
of the Holy Ghost

The Era Of Murder.

Amid tho general catalogue of crime,
from successful and scientific burglary
to bank-robbery after the most romantic
style, the record Of fearful murders stares
US in the face as bloody page in the his
tory Of this nineteenth century, At
times, it would seem there must be in this
enlightened age, q certain stratum Of crime
in which. alternately, some especial feature
takes precedence. Insanity, temporary or
absolute, is a convenient plea on behalf of
those who kill their fellow men, and the
more appalling the deed, the stronger the
argument, Of the lawyers for the defence
And yet the ..insanep mmderers stalk
about in our midst, ready. it may be. to edo
another killing" and find shelter from JUS
tee in their presumed or actual-and GER
tainly convenient - alteration OF mind.
The columns of the daily Press TEEN with
accounts Of butchcries and cold-blooded as
sassinations. till the public become sur
feited with the details. and the keen edge
Of justice seems blunted in the penalties
exactcd against the murderers. Mystery
follows mystery, and we are no longer
shocked by reading Of manslaughter. De-
lays are dangerous, in cases where the fate
Of murlerers depends upon the verdict of
the jury. Permit murderer to go untried
until the event is partially forgotten. and
the sense OF justice. governed by the ques-
ton of intent to kill, is often injured by
the delays in trial following the commission
Of the crime. If there be any remedy for
this infectious disease of murder, it is in
quick trial and speedy justice for the Of
tenders. If there be little fear Of the law,
because Of its widespread net through
which murderers escape, the meshes may be
drawn closer by prompt measures for pun
ishment.l before the crimes be forgotten,
and technicaIities devised to stay prompt
justice.

Riches and Death.

The following from the New York Sun
written Immediately after the death Of A. T.
Stewart viii long be remembered:
A rich old man lay dying. The fun num-
Der of years allotted to man had passed away
since first his eyes opened to the light Of
day, and a father and mother rejoiced that
son was born unto them. The full NUM-
Der Of years allotted man--itis long time;
and yet it had not seemed long to him, so
stealthily do the days glide by. But it is
long enough to incur grave responsibilities
responsibilities which, If the preachers
preach truth, stretch out, in their conse-
quences, through all eternity.
The longest life has it close, and his hour
had come. The physicians who had healed
him heretofore could not heal him now. He
was possessed of untold millions By night
and by day his riches had increased was it,
alas that in the moment of his dire necessi-
ty they might press, with mountain weight,
upon his own soul2 His gold, which had
awaited him so often, would not avail him
now. All his vast wealth, If he were willing
to give 1t, would not purchase for him one
day more Of life. He must die
Failing in all efforts for physical relief, he
turns to seek for spiritual consolation. He
had lived life quite blameless in the esti-
nation of men-a fair life; but hvers of the
fairest lives grow anxious when they stand
face to face with Death, and realize that
they are about to enter into the darkness
which human vision cannot penetrate. Could
he find comfort IN tho word Of Cop? He
opens the Bible and reads
How hardly shah they that have riches enter In
to the kingdom Of God"
at is easier for camel TO go through the eye Of
needle, than fora rich to enter into the kingdom
Of God.n
And he thought of his millions of money.
And he wondered what JESUS CHRIsr meant
when he spake these words.
And he died!

Brown Paper Cigars.


II is stated that not steamer leaves New
York for Havana TINT does not take out from
1000 to 5000 reams, or in occasional in
stances as high as $4,000 reams Of coarse
brown wrapping paper. What this paper
was used for was for long time mystery !;
but it has recently been revealed that Il en-
ters into the manufacture of "pure Havana
cigars" 1t is said when saturated in the
Juice. of tobacco stems the straw paper makes
" filing" almost equal, If not superior, to
the genuine leaf In fact, il is sometimes
impossible to detect the delicate Aim of pa
per interlapped with leaves in the finished
cigar or neatly folding the exterior. For
this purpose, we are told, it serves admira-
bly,, the paper, under combustion, leaving
no residum other than pure white ash.
To such refinement of art has this business
been carried that by the use Of machines
rolled over the sheet of paper an almost per-
feet impression of the tobacco leaf is OBJ
tanned, the peculiar 4spots" being printed
as on calico. Smokers of Havana cigars,
will no doubt, consume their g weed with
an added zest after learning Of what it is

MISCE / IANY.
10 Fear Of Death in the Dylags

A striking fact in connection with the
dying is that they are not afraid Of death.
You notice this even in executions The
majority of men who are hanged are re-
ported to die game" Death following
disease or injury is seldom accompanied
with fear. Disease dulls the intelligence so
that the situation may not be fully COM
pretended or there may be pain, and death
is looked upon as a relief. Nature, by
kindly provision, seems to prepare for the
fight of the spirit; as the hold upon life
grows weaker, SO does the desire for life
grow less and in scarcely single instance
within my experience, or within that of my
professional brethren, with whom / have
conversed upon this point, has not the
dying man relinquished life at the last
without seemingly reluctance or fear.
The several physical phenomena which
accompany the act Of dying, vary consider
ably in the early stages with the causes
whiofs produce death; there is much SINH
larity in the latter steps. Death offers,
then, physiognomy which once witnessed,
is not hard to recognize again.
Among the more constant signs are the
failing pulse, which gradually becomes hn-
perceptible, first at the wrist, and lastly at.
the breast itself; the extremities grow cold 5.
the countenance changes as the venous
blood courses the arteries the skin grows
cIammy as the vessels relax; the eye
glazes; the jaw drops the fluids accumu-
late in the windpipe, causing the death

SA HED BYA P4RASoI.

10 A little colored girl, nine years of age;
daughter Of SamueldP Phelps, was passing
over the railroad bridge which spans
Fishing creek near the depot, with a.
large parasol stretched over her head,
when blast struck her, and in a mo-
meDt she was swept off the bridge and
was falling to the earth, sixty feet below,
A lady who saw the affair from q short
distance of, says that she went down,
hanging TO the umbrella, which she had
stretched over her head Ikea parachute.
The handle broke just before she reach
ed the ground. Several persons went TO
her assistance Immediately, and were
doubtless surprised 10 find her alive. She
was not only alive, but comparatively
little injured, as the doctor who attended
her, told the writer that her worst injury
was a severe sprain of one Of her ankles,
with possibly fracture of one of the
smaller bones. Her preservation from
death is probably owing to the fact that
the parasol acted as a parachute, and
that she fell on haw bush three or four
feet high.--lhlledgeviile Reporter.
