it was some sort of hereditary complaint;
but as no disease could be traced back as
far as the great grandparents. it was
left to be supposed that the family tree
must have been sick at some period of
antiquity, then recovered, only to break
out again in little Jerry. Jerry, how
ever, grew apace, Notwithstanding the
fact that he was laboring under the dis.
advantages of weighty medical opinions.

just about this time the nurse girl

Jerry was on fire and she couldn't put
him out. The mother ran to her boy
only to find him in a circle of fame.
Jerry was in full blaze, but was not being
consumed. Water was thrown over
him, but to no purpose. Then they
wrapped him in a blanket, but it was
useless. Jerry continued to burn right
along. The incident created quite a
commotion and baffled the ingenuity Of
the inmates. Just then, however, the
door swung open, II gust of wind came in

THE WHITE ANT In INDIAN
HOUSES.

Among the household pests especially
dreaded none entail more vigilant pre-.
cautions than the destructive white ants.
creatures no bigger than grains of living
rice, whose armies work so swiftly and
silently that, if left undisturbed for q day
or two, they will completely destroy any
woodwork to which they take fancy;
and although, from their love of working
in darkness, they will not touch the
outer surface, but leave most respect.
able exterior, which touch will soon
betray hollow sham, and prove that
nothing remains beneath SO fair a show
but crumbling dust. So strong is their
aversion to light that as general rule it
is sufficient safeguard merely to raise
each box or article of furniture on such
stand as shall allow free current of air
beneath it. A couple of bricks or empty
wine bottles laid like rollers are all that
is needed; and to avoid close contact with
the wall. Wherever these busy workers
make their way they form secure tunnels
for their own safety of hard mortar as
solid as stone, sometimes so entirely fill
ing up the woodwork which they have
followed that it becomes a more solid
structure than before, though of differ
ent material. Pictures have thus some.
times been dealt with, and mirrors when
fastened to the walls, their wooden
framework and back being entirely eaten
away all but the thinnest external crust,
while the glasses remain strongly cement
ed to the wall itself. Countless are the
annoyances consequent on books and
papers being thus destroyed-indeed
goods of all sorts. One tradesman told
me he had received large supply of
English goods one day and unpacked
them in the evening. One single night
they lay on the ground and next morning
were reduced to powder. He showed
me his door, apparently of good strong
timber, which, however, clumbled at a
touch, utterly destroyed, and the worst
of it is that once they attack house
there is no limit to their devastations,
nor any means of knowing which rafter
or door post will next give way. We
happily escaped any serions damage from
these tiny hidden foes, though sometimes
little ridge of hard earthly cement run.
