At intervals of few yssrs, the Brazil ian colony Of Iourenco suffers from & re- markable visitation of field mice, the latest of which. in ls56. has just been described Dr. IT, VUn hiring. These creatures, UTdin- arily not numerous, appeared in enormous quantities, and in a few days destroyed the fields of corn, potatoes, clover. oats, barley. gourds, pumpkins, and even weeds. actually damaging houses to considerable extent and running furniture and cloth ing
 The periodical occurrences of these plaques seems to be due to the chief food supply of the mice, the seeds of the bamboo grass, which at regular intervals of six to thirty years, natures over a large territory, and then disappears. The field mice increase so rapidly that, If all the conditions which keep them in check were removed, a single pair would bear a progeny of 23.OOO individuals in a single summer, and every living thing upon the earth would be consumed in a half-dOzen years-Arkansaw Traveller.

It IS true there are occasional trouble here between white (? men and the Indians, but the only white men con- cerned in them are those usually denom- mated "squsw men," and if the Indians would kill of few of them 1t would be no great loss to the community. These Indians realize that they;sre powerless, that they have no chance against the whites, that if left to theIr own resources they would sll starve, and that by disease and other causes they are be- coming fewer in number year by year. Their principal chief only few days sgo said to the writer: "Whst for We nghtI lndIsn no damn fool" This h. dian has spent some time at Alcatraz, and knows how futile it would be to fight the whites.

Tn. Second Rank of Royalty,

Ladies of the second rank of royalty iu England lead very dull and humdrum lives. They are too high to find equals in society; they must be surrounded with q certain degree of state and ceremony; they have their people-in-waiting everybody courtesies or kotOws to them. But this is the extent of their grandeur. Their in comes are not to be compared with the revenues of the nobility; their jewels and toilets are inferior to the trappinss of many of th, ladies who wait on them; they have no great estates or mansions even. but must put up with apartments in some haf-deserted palace, and the spectacle they present of impoverished royalty is pitiable rather than dignifed- The nation grudges them their allowance, and threat ems not to support their rehildren--London Letter

A Society Lady. Unfortunate Mistake.

A Society Lady's Unfortunate Mistake.
 A prominent society lady of Washing ton, who shall be nameless in this sketch went to the Japanese legation to borrow a handsome court shawl from Mime. kuki. She readily obtained the desired garment -a very costly affair-and afterward had her photograph taken with the shawl gracefully thrown over her shoulders. When she took it back to its owner 1t IS only fair to presume that she did not know that to Mime. Kuki the shawl was of no further value. and that she herself would probably receive it as present.
 The Japanese do not believe in wearing garments which other people have dOnned, and SO she presented it tO the borrower. The latter Is now congratulating herself upon her good luck, unconscious, perhaps, of the fact that the donor has not recov- cred from the surprise she felt when the borrower made the strange request Had the lady known more of Japanese customs she would not have asked for the shawl, which to the Japanese could not be viewed in any other light than that of lack of good breeding. but such instances are common in WashingtOn.-COr.C Cleveland Leader,

A Few Word. Concerning Ventilation.


 Lack of pure air in dwellings is a direct result of our advancing civilization, re- suit. we should say, that now bids fair soon to be a thing of the past. Until re- gently the main object in planning houses has been to make them as nearly air-tight as possible. They protect their occupants better from the vicissitudes of climate than those ofa century or more ago. but they also give them almost no ventilation. They give more comforts with less healthful surroundings; luxury at the expense of purity of lung food. A dwelling made tight enough to keep cold air out will also keep foul air in, unless some contriv- ance to allow it to escape is also used. The houses of our ancestors, being less tight, allowed a free passage of air out and in, and their occupants were exempt from many modern diseases that we now know tO be due to confinement in the foul air of close rooms. In this respect, our fore father were better of than We are.-Hall's Journal of Health.

The Para.oI Ant. of Tr,nIdad-

A resident in the West India isle of Trinidad noticed on one occasion what seemed to be broad band of leaves nov ing across the path. Closer inspection satisfied him that they were swarms of the parasOl ants, so destructive to tropical plantations. They were travelling in a column more than eighteen inches wide, and. as each ant carried in its mouth a piece of leaf which entirely covered it's body, they resenhled-as the observer de- scribes it-a "LilIputian grove in motion" Their number seemed tO be inexhaustible. These little insectS-their industry not withstanding-are great pests. Nothing can turn them from their course, and, though a man may kill them by the thousand, enough will yet remain to make him repent his rashness.
