these birds have destroyed nearly
the whole of mans crop of grapes.
The question is, "What can be done
to stop their ravages." Can any of

physicians in Boston, but they gave up treating

not another attack of scrofula for nine yeara
After that period had to get some more Vege-

and have not had a third attack. am sixty
nine years old, and since becoming aware Of the
virtues OF your medicine have given 1t to my chill

first trial Of the Vegetine had q cancer removed

Hadakai, controls mad dogs and prevents

wives by giving children. The offering
of gost's blood to some Of these Mothers
is supposed to be very effectual; the ami

The Joys of Life in Guiana.
["Rnraima and British Guiannnl

We reached the village of Menaparuti
late at night, after a very long davis
walk, and once more slung our hammocks
in the fine open shed. Here we rested
day, IN order to obtain supply of cas-
sava, which the villagers prepared for us
in abundance. They had no fresh meat,
SO a hunting party went off to the woods
in search Of game. All they brought
back was a small mann, and large
striped coatamundi, whose flesh was so
pungent that it completely spoilt the
bird which was cooking in the same pot.
We were much amused by a number of
village children who used continually to
pass our house on the way to the river.
Slowly, in single file, they marched past,
the tallest leading, and the sizes dimin-
ishing until the last was not the height
of his bow. They never smiled, and
were SO grave that they impressed one
with the idea that they were little old
men starting on some dangerous expedi-
ton.
Once we followed them, and directly
the small troop was out of sight of the
houses. Its members changed immed-
ately into children. They shouted and
laughed, pushed each other into the river,
jumped into their tiny canoes and raced
one against the other, swan about, and
were as happy as schoolboys on half
holiday. After their fun had lasted some
time they all crossed the river, resumed
their solemn air, and disappeared in
single file up forest path on a shooting
foray. About an hour afterward they
returned triumphantly, dragging another
coatamundi, which the little imps had
managed to kill, probably with a poi
soned arrow. From childhood to old age
male Indians are seldom without bow
or blowpipe in their hands, peccaries,
pumas, and panis falling as cas- prey
to the man as toucans, pigeons and small
birds to the boy. To get food is their
principal object in life. They have few
pastimes, but enjoy dance, or the cha
ha" game. In some tribes, when a youth
wishes to show his courage and powers OF
endurance of pain, he is shaken up by his
friends, in a bag filed with Monouri
ants, which are the most dangerous OF
their kind, the sting Of one being sufti-
cient to cause fever. This is almost their
only amusement.

peated and injurious delays The will OF
the city to connect herself with the people
OF the South. through the fundamentally
of grand trunk railway, that should con-
meet with the Southern railway system,
however TAGGING at times, has never failed.
The purpose which Was uppermOst IN the
minds OF her people has been substan-
tally attained, so far as the instrument for
reaching the end is concerned. But to en-
ter Oh the returns which this outlay should
bring, very much remains to be done
Pluck and endurance have built the road
The fruits of this immense expenditure
can be gathered only by the exercise OF
great business sagacity and enterprise. Tie
local business Of the road has so Tar ex-
ceeded the expectations of its most san
guine friends The prophetic declarations
as to the future Of the enterprise will best
be fulfilled by every business man vigor-
ously endeavoring to enter the splendid
field, white to harvest, but in which other
sickles are already busily employed. and
by every citizen feeling lie has something
personally to do in bringing together two
great communities. alike interested III
closer social and business relations.
The narrow-gauge railway system has
made less ay In this immediate vi
cinity than in the preceding two years.
The litigation incident to the Miami Valley
Railway has completely arrested the work
on that important narrow gauge enter
prise, and holding, as it does, the key to
the entrance of the narrow gauge system t.
the city, the tendency has been to check
the progress OF work in various directions
Considerable has been accomplished, dur
ing the year, il pushing toward compile
ton various tributary roads to the main
lines previously constructed, and in getting
subscriptions, extending r ad-beds, agita'
ing the construction ofadditional branches,
and in preparing the public mind for the
development OF these lines for local travel
and transportation. TIE part that the
narrow. gauge system is TO play in the solu-
ton of the railway problem of our time
is yet in the future, but in city and counf
try alike there comes the demand for
larger accommodations and quicker transit.
So that if the projectors accomplish no
more than to develop quick c"nimunica-
tioH between comparatively near commu-
mites, they meet a public want which finds
expression in many ways.
