ONE OF eRAzlL's AFFECTIONS.


"T"inhfS App'tites'
In the colony of Loruenco, Brazil, in
the months of May and June, 1876, mice
suddenly appeared in enormous num-
bers. They invaded The grain fields in
such large numbers that the corn seemed
literally alive with them. destroying in u
few days everything that was edible, and
where, but n short time before, bushels
OF grain might have been harvested, not
an ear remained, and the noise produced
by their nibbling and climbing was audi
bic for "A considerable distance. After the
corn fields were devastated the potntues
next received their attention. only The
largest We're eaten in the ground such
rs were transportahlc were cprrlei away
and hidden in hollow trees or other re
treats for future use. Gourds and pump
kins, even the hardest, were gnawed
through aud eaten. OF green food, such
as clover, oats, barley, not n leaf was left
standing, even weeds were cut down and
the inner parts eaten out.
In the house the struggle for existence
Of these long tailed invaders was truly
amazing In many of the dwellings
hundreds were killed in IA single day
Thu cats could contribute but little aid
in fighting such "A plague. for not only
were many of the rats so large that it
would hive been an unequal contest. but
by their great number they drove the cats
actually from the houses not to return I'm
til the plague was passed Nothing, eX
cept what WIS composed Of iron, stone OF
glass WIS spared from their destructive
ness. Furniture, clothes, hats, books
evcrything-bore the traces of theiI
teeth. They gnawcd the hoofs of the
cows and horses in the stables, literally
ate up fatted hogs, and often bit AWAY the
hair Of persons during sleep. They pcne
tratcd all apartments and gnawcd their
way through boards and walls Of houses.
bitches that were dug about granaries
did not suffice; the mice would climb
over each other and thus reach the top.
The foregoing account of one occurrence
in Lourancc will suffice to show to whnt
nm extent the plague reached. The same
province had suffered similarly in 1873
and 1868, and in all probability will ngain
in1SS9 Similar plaques, though far less
in extent, have occurred in Europe in
which the field mice u"nacoountably ap-
pcarcd in greatly increased numbers.
One may well think what would he the
result were these little. almost insigniii
cant, creatures everywhere in such wise
to TAKE the ascendency. When one con
sidcrs that an average of every one OF
two months from five to eight young are
born, and that these young became ma
turc in n few months themselves, he will
be surprised to know that n single pair Of
common field mice in the course Of "A

PECULIAR TRAITS OF ANIMALS.


Dogs Observation-Disclosures Horse.
1t is related that a defeated king once
watched a spider weave it's web, and
that the persistence of the nimble little
creature gave to the king renewed
courage so that he, too, became persist
ent and conquered where he had before
signally failed. This king must have
noticed at the same time the mathemat-
zeal regularity of the weaving.
While in a barn recently l examined
the home of a spider and was led to be-
lieve that, to "A certain extent, they are
esthetic. There can be found a great
love of the beautiful among the lower
forms of life. The idea is "A pretty one
and is well worth the carrying out. 1t
is a fact that many brutes are quite hui
man, and if the mass of people be taken
as the standard many brutes are super
human.
The birds appreciate the sweetness of
sound. This is too well known to need
mention, but perhaps it is not so gen
tra1ly known that birds have taste. The
little humming-b bird, beautifully colored
itself, shows n love of rich coloring and
picturesque surroundings. You will
find his nest in the center of some SPLEEN
did, leafy orchard tree, and if you will
watch him when in search of food you
will see taste shown in quite another
direction, for he invariably goes to the
flowers having the richest tints. Docs
he 20 to the gcranium-bed, the brilliant
red and crimson varieties are visited
first. a preference is shown for the

by the lady who chooses the richest
tinted flowers to deck her dress.
Going to the four-legged brutes, we
can not pass by the melodious and mel
lifluous cat without some brier men
ton. The cat is II clearly anil.ud, and
for tidiness cxcels nearly all other ami
mails. In preference to n corner in the
woodshed your cat will invariably
choose n soft, warm place in your
packed-away linen to give birth to a lot
of feline promulgations. lis true the
cat can not compare with the hooking
bird for musical versatility; nor with the
nightingale for sweetness of tone. The
cat is perhaps unfortunate in its choice
of time for emitting oft in he Silly
night its weird and penetrating love
passages. Doubtless those sweet, melodi-
Gus tones would he more enjoyable when
the air is fraught with the noise and
turmoil of n busy city. But, alas, the
cat singeth at night.
The mind naturally turns from the
cat to the rat or the lesser members of
the rodent family, the mice. We have
all heard some time or other Of musical
mice. They have been known to utter
