The ravages of parasite insect on
orange and lemon trees are attracting
much attention in Italy and the West
Indies, and have begun to create alarm
in Florida, Louisiana and California.
j. Fl. Bostwick, Inspector of Customs,
who has charge of the fruit department
of the New York Custom-house, is TAX
ing great interest in the matter, and has
some specimens from cargoes of
oranges, the rinds of which are covered
with incrustations of these parasites.
The matter is a serious one, for vast
numbers of trees are ruined by these in
sects. Mr.. Bostwick says that the
italian Government has offered a prize
of 800, 900 francs for an effectual remedy
for the pest, and that wealthy Italian
has added 1OO,O 900 francs to the offer on
his own account. He says that thirty
years ago he stopped the ravages of q
similar pest by washing the trunks and
large limbs of fruit trees with soap and
sharp sand. If the trouble continues to
increase as it is doing now, the impor-
tation of fruit from Italy and the West
Indies will be much reduced, and there
will be heavy losses in the orange groves
of Florida, Louisiana and California.
The value of the fruit imports at this
port in 1880 was 4,198, 1871, the duty
on which was S746, 031.-NeD York

Held By the Hair Of the HesA.

There Il nothing especially attractive
in being carried by the hair Of the head
at the rate of sixty miles IN hour. This
was, however, the experience Of mad
man, who attempted suicide by jump
ing from q Car Of the Midland express
train from London to Leicester, Eng
land. His father and . woman, who
were the only other occupants Of the
carriage, were unable to control him.
Throwing open the door he leaped from
the carriage. Fortunately his father
caught hold of his hair and the collar Of
his coat. In this way the son was held
suspended for some time, the train
meanwhile going ut the rate Of sixty
miles an hour. As they approached
Market Marlborough the terrible state IT
things was noticed and the train stop
ped. The father was terribly exhausted
by the struggle and placed his SON In the
charge of officials, who bound and
guarded him until he could be placed n
an asylum.-Boston Herald.

not seriously. An acquaintance about

OF relieving any anxiety she might feel

but without avail.

Rescue of Two Drowning Hounds by
COmrade Dog.

A most remarkable illustration OF
canine intelligence was given the other
day by Newfoundland dog owned by
Mr.. May, of Livermore. A reverend
gentleman, well known for his love of
| coursing, who witnessed the affair, de-
scribed it to Chronicle reporter. 1t
can be accepted as bare fact. Two
greyhounds, the Newfoundland dog
| spoken of and a small terrier were &C.
companying a party of hunters the other
day near Livermore. The hunters had
occasion to cross a very wide and rapid
creek, and made their way over the tor
rent on fallen tree which spanned it.
The dogs could not cross in that man.
ner, and plunged into the stream, the
greyhounds taking the initiative. The
greyhound is peculiarly untitled for the
water, and the two dogs in question
were unable to make Roadway across
the torrent. One of them was swept
down the creek, and the other, having
struggled into an eddy, was barely able
to hold his own. The predicament was
not pleasant one either for the dogs or
the hunters, as the animals were valua-
BILE and had just been borrowed from q
fond master for course. In the midst
of the excitement, while the hunters
were rushing up and down the banks
cheering the drowning dogs and trying
to extricate them with a pole, the New
foundland voluntarily plunged into the
rescue. Being powerful animal he
could swim almost straight across the
torrent, and making direct for the weak
est Of the hounds, seized him by the col
lar and carried him to the bank, where
several friendly hands were stretched to
his assistance. The rescuer then swan
back to the other hound and repeated
the performance. The intelligent
animal had always been noted for his
ferocity, and several times his owner
had thought of disposing of him in some
way. The remarkable exhibition of
forethought and bravery so astonished
and delighted Mr.. May that he vowed
that $500 would not buy the intelligent
dog. Another and even greater sur
prise was in store for the hunters, how
ever. The terrier had evidently made
up his mind that where the greyhounds
could not get through he would have
little business. He rushed up and down
the bank barking excitedly and making
very extravagant demonstrations of his
anxiety. The Newfoundland tried sew
eral times to lead him into the water by
boldly plunging in and wagging his tail
in confident manner, but the terrier
only barked the louder and kept further
away from the water. At last, disguised
by the timidity of the little cur and tired
Of the exhibition, the big dog rushed at
the alarmed terrier, seized him by the
neck and jumped into the torrent with
him. The terrier yelled ''murder!"a nd
'spolice!" in the most expletive language
known to the canine tongue, until the
Newfoundland deposited him safely on
the other side. 'sThere isn't money
enough in the State to buy that dog"
said Mr.. May, as the great shaggy beast
gamboled up to be patted for his
achievement.-San Francisco Chronicle.
