The woodtick OF Honduras.

Any description of the business-like ways
of the garapatos would be, to those who
have personal acquaintance with them,
wanting In that fresh and lively interest
which follows first introduction, and 1t
might be cruelty to anticipate the joys Of Q
first experience by describing the way In
which the little brown villains light upon
the traveller from every bush against which
he brushes. crawl into his clothing from
every log upon which he incautiously seats
himself, and from every grassy bank upon
which he thoughtlessly reclines; how they
excite his sensibilities by travelling indus
triously over his unaccustomed and tick
lish skin, prospecting for a tender and
Juicy spot wherein to sink their heads
deeply, and thus establish claims from
which not death even, nor ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
shall separate them.
Once comfortably settled in a pleasing
spot, the woodtick gives up his rowing hab-
its and devotes himself to the business of
sucking up the blood Of the gringo. until
in time he wakes fat with rich feeding, be-
comes pulled up with much consequence,
and develops into rich, dark-red panch.
big as a currant and as round, with legs of
little moment and an insignificant head,
the most noble function of which is to pro-
vide plentiful supplies to the stomach

Man Of the Wonderful signature.

A correspondent inquiries: as old Spin

years ago old Spinner was conspicuous

manner, his loud voice, his inimitable cork

and his equally fervent and carelessly pict-
uresque language, all combined to attract
attention to him. He was one Of Mr.. Lin

The commerce of Ste. Barbara ap-
parently consists chiefly of trade in coffee,
hides, and Indian corn brought in nets
holding about two bushel Of ears each,
slung over psck-saddles on mules. Sar-
saparilla and deer skins are often seen
coming in, and wheat -four from Cali
fornia is in constant supply. The depart
ment is rich In mines, but the precious
metals make little show, and therefore
are not often much noticed by the traveller.
Fruits and vegetables from the forests and
mountains are staple articles Of trade, but

The Parnsol Ants of Trinidad.

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 q
column more than eighteen inches wide,
and, as each ant carried in its mouth a
piece of leaf which entirely covered its
body, they resembled-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 q man may kill them by the
thousand, enough will yet remain to make
him repent his rashness. A swarm has
been known to strip a fruit tree in one
night.-Philadelphi Call.

a Society Lady's 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
q handsome court shawl from Nine 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 it's owner it Is
only fair to presume that she did not know
that TO Nine. Kuki the shawl was of no
further value, and that she herself would
probably receive il as present.
The japanese do not believe in wearing
garments which other people have donned,
and so she presented 1t 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 Cleveland

A Few Word. Concerning ventilation.

Lack of pure air in dwellings is direct
result OF our advancing civilization, a re-
suit, we. should say, that now bids fair
soon TO be 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 of a century OF 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 b 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

into the hands of one of these professional
beggars, who used her to good profit. She

child's eye wrung from her the most
agonizing shrieks, and frequently threw
her into Convulsions.
