Insects in Brazil.

Mr.. Ernest Morris, the young traveller
and naturalist, who has just returned
from Brazil, repeats the general obser.
walton of explorers that the exuberance
of insect life is the principal obstacle to
the enjoyment of a sojourn in that part
of the world. Cockroaches swarm in
every house, despite the inroads of an
army of spiders which sally forth from
every chink to prey upon them; scor-
pions are intrusive and dangerous; q
small red insect called the ''mecuim'' is
an intolerable annoyance; at certain
hours of the day the air is black with
flies and mosquitoes; and ants are q
universal plague. To battle these last
named foes Of peace Mr.. Morris was
obliged to keep his entire collections on
hanging shelves. the cords of which
were soaked in the oil of copaiba. s'The
most destructive ant in Brazil" says MI.
Morris, sis the sanba. It will strip
trees of their foliage in single night,
andin many places orange trees cannot
be grown for this reason. The tocan-
deira is very large ant, the bito Of
which is poisonous and makes painful
sore. I was once rendered unable to
work for week from a bite received
from one of these ants. Some species
travel in large bodies, marching in a
straight line, and never turning to the
right or left. If house lies in the track
of one of these marching bodies. unless
they are completely exterminated, they
will pass through. Nothing will be in
jured, but every crack and Granny will
be explored, and not a spider nor cock
roach will survive the visitation. They
are therefore regarded as friends. and
their advent is always welcomed, Ga
where you will in Brazil, you will meet
ants. You live, sleep and eat with them
and eat Them too"

with the evangelists for q few years past,
tho patriarch Of patience was set forth
as IN illustrious case Of hypocrisy. After
the service asked him If he remembers

read for the Scripture lesson the healing
Of the lame man at the pbol. Pausing
and looking around he said, II want
you to take notice, my candid friends,
that this modern habit of finding fault
with the miracles of our Saviour is no
new thing. It is as old as the time of
the Saviour Himself. Before His eyes
the Jews found fault with every one of
His miracles; with every one. every one!'
He gathered confidence with the repeti-
ton. and said to the Baptist minister on
his left, ''My brother, do you remember
one miracle with which they did not find
fault?" Coloring, he answered mod

paused for reply His eyes were fixed
on me, and the eyes of the whole con-

me, for it was case of George WASH

not tell lie. An inconvenient memory

it was of no use. "A single one. Brother

Advice to Young Ladies'.

A Plain Talk on Everyday Matters and Things
John Ruskin gives the following adj
vice to young ladies: t'In order to in
vestigate ones self, it is well to find out
what one is now. Don't think vaguely
about it. Take pen and paper and write
down Is accurate description of your
self as is possible, and If you dare not,
find out why you dare not, and try and
get strength of heart enough to look
yourself in the face, mind as well as
body. Always have two mirrors on your
dressing table, and with proper care
dress mind and body at the same time.
Put your best intelligence to finding out
what you are good for and what you
can be made into. The mere resolve
not to be useless and the honest desire
to help other people, will, in the quick
est and most delicate way, improve ones
self. All accomplishments should be
considered as means of assisting others.
In music get the voice disciplined and
clear, and think only Of accuracy; ex-
pressioa and effect will take care of
themselves. So in drawing; learn to
set down the right shape Of anything,
and thereby explain its character to
another person; but if you try only to
make snowy drawings for praise, or
pretty ones for amusement, yot1r draw
ing will have little or no real interest
for you and no educational power. Re-
solve to do each day something useful
in the vulgar sense. Learn the econo-
my of the kitchen, and good and bad
qualities of every common article of
food, and the simplest and best modes
of their preparation; help poor families
in their cooking, show them how to
make as much of everything as possible,
and how to make their niceties; coax
ing and tempting them into tidy and
pretty ways, and pleading for well-fold-
ed table-cloths, however coarse, and for
flower or two out of the garden to
strew on them. One should, at the end
of every day, be able to say, as proudly
as any peasant, that she had not eaten
the bread Of idleness. Get quit of the
absurd idea that Heaven will interfere
to correct great errors, while allowing
its laws to take their own course in pun
ishing small ones. If food is carelessly
prepared no one expects Providence to
make it palatable; neither if through
years Of folly you misguide your own
life need you expect Divine interference
to bring around everything at last for
the best. / tell you, positively. the
world is not so constituted. The conse-
quences Of great mistakes are just as
sure as those Of small ones, and the
happiness of your whole life and of all
the lives over which you have power de-
ponds as literally on your common sense
and discretion as the excellence and Or
dor of day."

A Wilde Seance,

While Capt. Foster was swapping lies
with Ned Fry, out at the Cliff house,
San Francisco, last week. Oscar drove
up with Mr.. Lock, and, taking q stain
ed-glass attitude on the balcony, was
for some minutes lost in a contempla-
ton of the grand old ocean breaking on
the cliffs far down below him.
''How grand the roar of the ocean,"
he said, dreamily, to the captain.
The captain was a little taken back,
but agreed that it was.
"Would any price be too great for the
glory of watching hour by hour, and
day by day, through the placid wavcless
days of summer and the grand turbu-
lence of the wintry gale?''
FIFTY q month";" said the captain,
who, while Oscar sighed unheeded, ask
ed Fry what kind Of a canary bird it
was, anyhow.
After time they went to tho bar,
where Oscar ordered ''some milk, fresh
from nature odorous laboratory" while
the others took little lemon in theirs.
Then Fry and the captain and another
gentleman sat down to play ''dollar
ante"
"What eeze dollar antep'' said Oscar,
dreamily, in . mezzo-soprano sigh.
They explained.

lot course" and they gave him . seat
and ohuckled way down in their bronchi-
al tubes.
A great sadness was upon him.
Sometimes an unutterable melancholy
would fill with dark shadows his dream-
ing eyes, but he said little-only sighed.
Capt. Foster did not sigh. Several
times he might have been heard to say
something about dynamite.
Mr.. Fry was also little melancholy,
but talked in q different strain, several
times saying, limpidly, the luck"
BY and by it was Oscars deal, and he
caressed the cards gently and dtstribut-
ed them mournfully, like crumbs ct COM
muni0n.
Everybody went in. The captain
took two cards. Fry took one and Oscar

''Beshrew me, but I am oppressed
with doubt, y murmured Oscar. ..Could
/ but penetrate the dark veil Of the fl,-
ture-but no; nay, then I will risk all, y
and he doubtfully and sadly put up his
portion.
Ten harder" said the captain.
''Ten more than you, remarked Fry.
Oscar knitted his brow. verify I
am in the vortex, and the O. ershadow-
ing sky is murky, but I must stay. I
will how do you phrase it call, call on

And the captain joined the merry
throng.
'Three aces,'' said he.
''Full hand" said Fry proudly, a. he
showed his cards and reached for the
money.
..Too-too," the poet murmured, as he
almost weepingly laid down four deuces.
And when the captain had flung his
cards out Of the window and Fry was
making the air blue with INTERSECTIONS,
Oscar winked his eye audibly, and re-
marked in his patural frame Of mind:

ton at Oxford. Come and take q sniff

Table Manners

A writer ia Harper's Bazaar calls at
tenti0n to the want of good table mani
ners which marks SO many American
families and which foreigners notice as
one Of our defects. The writer saws:
We do not, as q nation, compOrt our
selves well It the table, In the FIRST
place we eat too fast, and ara apt to
make noise over our soup. Well-bred
people put their soup into their mouths
without sound, lifting up their spoon
slowly, thinking about it, and managing
to swallow it noiselessly.
In the second place, we are accused
Of chewing our food with the mouth
open, and Of putting too much in the
mouth at once. Again, we are accused,
particularly at railway stations and at
hotels, Of putting our heads in our plates,
and Of eating with the knife instead Of
with the fork.
Some people eat instinctively with
great elegance; some never achieve ele-
gance in these minor matters, but all
should strive for it. There is no more
repulsive object than person who eats
noisily, grossly, inelegantly.
brutal way of eating almost as much as
for his great learning and genius. With
him it was selfish preoccupation.
Fish and fruit are eaten with silver
knives and forks; or, if silver fish-knives
are not provided, piece of bread can
be held in the left hand. Fish corrodes
steel knife.
Never tilt soup-plate for the last
drop, or scrape your plate clean. Leave
something for manners good old
A part of table manners should be the
conversation. By mutual consent, ev-
cry one should bring only the best that
is in him to the table. There should be
the greatest care taken in the family cir
Gle to talk of only agreeable topics at
meals.
The mutual forbearance which
prompts the. neat dress, the respectful
bearing, the delicate habit of eating,
the attention to table etiquette, should
also make the mind put on its best
dress, and the effort Of any one at a
meal should be to make himself or her.
self as agreeable as possible.
No one should show any haste in be-
ing helped, and displeasure at being left
until the last. 1t is always proper at
an informal meal to ask for second
cut, to say that rare or underdone beef
is more to your taste than the more
cooked portions.
But one never asks twice for soup or
fish; one is rarely helped twice at des-
sert. These dishes, also salad, are sup
posed to admit of but one helping.

formed the only fuel supplied. ''Corn
stalks" said my host, ''are the cheapest

as easy to gather corn stalks and tie
them up into bundles as it is to cut down
those trees. Why, I can go into the
corn field with two men, and in y day
bundle up corn stalks enough to warm
my house all winter ..Let me see you
put some corn stalks into the stove" I
said. He stepped to the door and brought
IN q bundle Of corn stalks about three
feet through, They were bound tightly
together. The bundle weighed about
forty pounds. Then, lifting the top of
the stove, he laid them upon the embers,
and closed up the front damper. ..How
long will they burn?'' I asked. Three
