A Plague Of Flies.

The village Of Ellsworth. England.
has been visited by remarkable plague
Of flies. which simultaneously covered
an area Of one mile. At some places ii
was impossible to move without closing
the eyes and mouth. Around every
lamp in town the spectacle was most
curious Attracted by the light thick
swarms abounded, and their buzz re-
sembled that Of hive of bees. At the
post-office, where the upper portion Of
the door Is open for ventilation. and
where necessarily the light is kept burn
ing till the early morning, the insects
covered the sorting boards, letters and
bags, and had to DO continually swept
off with brushes. At one lamp they
simply hung down In clusters. Ia the
window of the Office they were to be
seen in thick punches. Bicyclists were

Doing the kow.Tow.

The kow-tow ceremony, as witnessed
BY reporter one day recently at o
Chinese temple on Waverly Place, will
bear description. The guardian of the
temple was. just sounding barrel
shaped drum suspended from wooden
framework. Having evoked few dull.
rolling sounds. he wakened the echoes
by pulling a massive bronze bell hang
ing underneath. Then taking the
sticks of incense, he placed a mat on
the floor before each idol, on which he
knelt. first bowling down with hands
Joined and then raising them above his
head like the priest elevating the host
at mass. He then performed the kow-
tow. which consists of knocking the
head against the floor six times before
minor idols and nine times before major
gods with great rapidity and violence.
The Mongolian devotee fulfills his no.
ligious task with no half-hearted zeal,
making the floor vibrate again as he
introduces his head to it. The thought
would naturally occur that this would
be rather trying even to an opium
bxfogged Chinese cerebrum; and pass
ing near the worshiper as he rose from
his task. it was noticed that he had on
the top Of his head a Dulging prutuber-
auce as large rs an average fist-the
result of frequent and vigorous kow-tow-
ings. This must have become perfectly
callous, as in response to query on
parting the custodian remarked that the
frequent humping was the cause Of no
pain or unpleasantnesss- SaN FrGncisco

A Valuable Antidote.

Already an antidote has been dis
covered to the sting of scorpions, which
although rarely fatal, are extremely
painful, and the poison is closely allied
to that of the venomous snakes. Mr..
A. M. Markham, of the Indian Civil
Service, has written to one of the Indian
papers calling attention to the fact that
the root of Achyrdnthes aspera, known
popularity as chirchirra, affords almost
instantaneous relief from the pain
caused by the sting of scorpion. The
plant is very common everywhere in
India, and Is one of those whose cling
ing burrs are such nuisance on ones
legs when out shooting. The root,
macerated in water, is applied to the
part stung. and small quantity is
drank in water. If this be done quickly.
there is absolutely no pain half an hour
or SO after the sting. instead of the
twelve or twenty-four hours of intense
suffering which follow an untreated
sting. Three cases occurred recently
in Mr. Markham's camp, in which the
sufferers, thanks to chi.-chtrra. and the
presence of khitmutgar who knew
how to apply it, were going about their
work within an hour in each case, feel
ing nothing more than numbness in the
par. stung. Whether this remedy
would be equally efiicacious against
snake bites is doubtful; but after such
striking proof of its efficacy against the
venom of scorpions, the matter is
nssuredly worth investigation. 1t may
be that the Achyrentses aspera is the
antidote used by snake charmers.

DIAMONDS.
The Dimoulty of identifying Them II Re

The Difficulty of identifying Them II Re-
moved From Their Settings.
Wanting to buy few precious stones
to distribute among my friends before l
get my life insured and go to the sea-
side, interviewed diamond merchant
down town, and while we were compar-
ing the gems the conversation turned
upon the difficulty of identifying dia-
monds. Some people assert that they
can recognize certain stone as accu-
rately as other people can recognize a
certain man. You take your diamonds
to be cleaned or reset, and you are sure
that you receive the same stones again,
although others less valuable. or even
paste limitations, may have been substi-
tuted. But the experts are sure that
they can never be deceived unless the
stone has been recut. Upon this point
the diamond merchant told me a good
story
One day another firm in the same
business-call it Smith & Jones-sent
him a diamond which was very fine and
very cheap. 1t was setin ring so that
he could not weigh it; but after exam
ming it carefully he concluded that its
cheapness must be caused by some de-
feet, and so he returned it to the owners
The next week an agent called
with another fine cheap stone, which
my friend concluded to purchase. Be-
fore binding the bargain he thought he
would take it over to Smith 4 Jones
and see what they said about it. They
praised it enthusiastically. why, it's
bargainr cried Smith; and so my
friend bought the diamond.
'sAhar' said Jones, when they met
the next day. "you did buy our stone
after all, and you paid fifty dollars more
for it than we asked for it originally"
This was gall and NORWOOD. My
friend hurried back to his office and
looked at the diamond. Sure enough,
it was the stone which Smith & Jones,
had sent to him. The clever firm had
angled for him through an agent and
caught him nicely. He matched the
diamond, had pair Of earrings made
and bided his time.
At last he gave the earrings and his
price to an agent and sent him out to
sell them. The agent came back and
said: ''Smith & Jones want one of
these stones. Will you split the pairp''
"Yes," said the diamond merchant
''sell them this one." and he took one
of the stones out of its setting; 1.-THE
price is SO much carat, as the color is
very fine.'
When the agent returned with the
check my friend sat down and wrote
Smith & Jones the following note.
'Quits! You have bought back your
own stone and given me ninety-seven
dollars profit l prefer Pomery Sec."
1t was a case Of diamond cut diamond,
and it confirmed my doubts as 10 the
possibility Of identifying unset stones. -

A DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.

Incident occurred. illustrative of the
philosophical manner in which negroes
accept the DEGREES of Providence.
Amelia, it will be remembered, is one

occupy most of the old homesteads. and
are given over to ignorance and super
stition. The Wigwam. the old Harri-
