South American Mosquitoes.

One of the pests of life in South
America is the ubiquitous mosquito,
which there attains such an enormous
size and venom that his victims are
numbered by the score. Not long ago q
herd of valuable cattle taken from the
United States to a ranch upon the
Magdalena River became so desperate
under the attack of the mosquitoes that
they broke from their stalls, Jumped
into the water and all were drowned.
Passengers intending to make the voyage
usually provide themselves with protec.
ton in the shape of mosquito bars, head
nets and thick gloves, and when on deck
are compelled to tie their sleeTes around
their wrists and pantaloons around their
ankles. Even these precautions are not
always elective. Large as the insects
are they seem to have the power to creep
through thY smallest crevice, and it is
often necessary to change ones clothing
four or five times day on their account.
Day and night they give the sensitive
skinned travellers no rest. / have been
so!emnly assured that very often when
they have attacked boat and driven its
captain and crew below they have broken
the windows of the cabin by pluuging
in swarms against them and have at
tempted to burst in the doors. Although
this may be something of an exaggera-
tion it Is nevertheless true that FREQ lently
horses and cattle, after the most fright
full sutferings, have died from mosquito
bites Oh board the vessels. - Graphic.

The Ocean Sunf1sh.

Recently Captain Newal Gray dis
covered little distance from Captain A.
w. Gray's wharf, at koothbay, Me-, the
big fin of an ocean suntish. He speedily
transferred himself to a rowboat, and
in little time caught the fellow by his
nose with the boathooE The skin was
so tough he could not penetrate it, and
after u hard fight the fish escaped. He
was probably 100 pounds in weight.
This fish is peculiar, in being little but a
head, and two immense fins about where
the neck should be, and the most of the
body is wanting. They float lazily on
the surface. and take the name from
lasking in the sun. Their food is Jelly
fish, so abundant on the Maine coast.
The livers are very large and yield large
quantity of oil, which commands high
price as remedy for sprains and burns

Gillian Soldiers.

We know more, perhaps, of the
progress of Chile than of any other Of
the Spanish. American countries, through
its overwhelming triumph over Peru in
the recent war. No other country Las
been supposed to be endowed with 90
large share of the pushing, grasping
and arrogant spirit which is regarded as
characteristic Of the Yankee Of the
North. Mr.. Curtis's account Of the
Chilleno character is extremely interest
ing. He gives them credit for great
bravery and endurance, Spanish tenac1
ity and an Irish wit. He finds much|
resemblance between the Chillenos and
the Irish. They are alike in their patri.
otic pride, their reckless bra .ery end
Their vanity. The Chilleno will mott
endure siege nor fight at long range
but as soon as he sees the enemy he fires
one volley, drops his gun and rushes in|
with his curvo. This is long curved
knife, which he carries as a dagger and|
uses to cut throats. lie neverl
fights with his fists and never carries a|
revolver, but in quarrel springs with
this knife at the throat of his enemy like
bloodhound. AT least one or two|
throat cutting affairs are to be found lnl
every days paper, and on feast days OF
carnivals they fill columns. The awful
scenes that took place on the battlefieldsl
during the war with Peru are said atoI
have been without parallel in modern|
warfare. Nine.tenths of the dead wereI
found with their throats cut and theI
Chillenos took no prisoners except when
q whole army surrendered. They ask moi
quarter and give none. The fear OF theI
Chilleno knife had much to do with theI
subjugation of the more humane Peru
vians.

Petrifactions in a German Church.

1t is most surprising thing how in
different the Germans are about their
churches, says a gentleman writing from
Bremen. Here in prosperous, rich
city, is cathedral 700 years old, around
which most of their history clusters, and
one of the towers lies in ruins, and has
so lain for many years. The bricks and
mortar crumble at their feet, and the
citizens pass by unheeding and careless,
while opposite is beautiful new "ex-
change" and fine stores are seen in all
directions. AS we push open the door
of the cathedral burst of melody pours
forth; hundreds of children, led by a
splendid organ, are singing some grand
old German anthems. Their clear. pure
voices awake the echoes high up in the
roof and touch the heart, as children's
voices always do. After the little ones
have gone away peep at the interior IS

Storage OF Life.

In q recent lecture to the Sanitary
Institution of Great Britain, DR.. B. w.
Richardson considered the power the
human body has been proven to possess,
of storing up life to u prolonged period.
He stated the conditions favoring such
storage. in the following order: l!ered-
itary qualification, maintenance of bal
ance OF bodily functions, perfect temper
ance, and impurity from implanted OF
acquired diseases. Temperament has lts
influence, the bilious and sanguine tenn,
peraments being best Tor long llfe' and
the nervous and lymphatic the worst.
What he termed all-round temperance Is
the avoidance Of everything that stlmu.
lates the heart beyond its natural ac'
tivity, such stimulation being an un::
natural tax that reduces the storage OF
life.

The " Topsy-turyy" Railway. :.

The latest amusement at Brussels is
riding on "Le Chemin dc Fer de
PArmour," or the "Topsy-turvy" rail-
way. 1t consists of an enormous barrel
opened at the end, and grooved go as to
run upon set of rails which slope in the
centre. On each side of the barrel is a
seat, and on each seat three passengers
sit, being strapped round the waist, and
having their feet in straps, while with
their hands they hold on to the seats.
The barrel is set in motion, and goes
down the incline and up the other side,
passengers turning round and round
with it. The journey is short one, the
barrel rolling completely over only fourl
times, and then stopping with its pos.
sengers seated right side up again. The|
fare is 30 centimes. Many women ride|
in it, their skirts fastened by a strap at|
the ankle.-New York Sun.

It:nerant Restaurants.

AItinerant food supply is a new feature
Of Boston life. A large wagon train
carrying complete dinners, or viands a Ia
carte, goes about the streets supplying
its customers. Nothing is easier now
than to take an apartment, or room, rs
may be, and order whatever one may
ctooee, ser ed ut such hours as he shall
desire, and the arrangement is the
apotheosis of household JOY. No more
cooks, no more marketing, no more
kitchens, and no more going out to res
taurant, hotel or private boarding house.
The itinerant food supply cuts the Cor.
dian knot. The food is said to be excel
lent, and furnished at rates far below the
cost of marketing and having it pre-.
pared. or of restaurant or boarding house
rates. 1t offers solution of many dill
culties for an increasing number Of peo-i
ple to whom domestic life on the old
plan has grown impracticable or unde-
sirable. -Ilmes-Dsm0crat.

Til, Diagnosis OF Leprosy.

"Leprosy, said doctor to the Chicago
News. "ls roughly divisible into two
great tpyes: tubercular or black and
anesthetic or white In the first, spots
of pale rcd or dark-brown color appear
on the back, hands, feet, palms, soles,
forehead, and cheeks. The face first be-
comes livi1, then swollen and discolorcd.
The white Ieprosy is characterized by
water-blisters, at first, VIII ch break and
leave whitish scar. The scar is first
the seat of stinging pain, afterward sue
ceeded by complete loss of feeling. The
disease lasts long time and the patient
dies in the white form from simple
exhaustion: in the black death is
usually caused by blood-poisoning. The
disease is due to bucilla, OF minute,
fiat, needle-!ike germ. This must find
its way into cut surface to become con-
tagious. The disease, hence, spreads
SLOWLY. Leprosy has always existed in
the Ulted States since the Louisiana

Religion In the Russian Army.

The Russians have strange ideas OF
religion. A writer for the Paris Figaro
has been visiting the barracks Of regi.
ment of the Imperial guard at st. Peters
burg. Arriving at about eleven o'clock
in the morning, he found battalion in
the dining room enjoying their break
fast, consisting of bread, oatmeal, and a
kind of drink made of grain stepped in
vinegar, and diluted with water.
The room was clean and comfortable,
filled with tables, each large enough for
six soldiers. The oatmeal, dark in color
and cooked in water, was served in a
dish placed in the middle of the table,
and each soldier, armed with wooden
spoon, dipped in for himself. Fsaro,
who tasted the oatmeal, confesses that
he could not help "makiug wry face''
at it. The bread was pretty good, but
the drink was so horrible that ''nothing
but long practice could enable French
man to get it down."
The meal being finished, the sergeant
in charge of the loom rose to give thanks.
All the soldiers rose, took of their caps,
and stood attentive. The grace having
been said, the whole battalion responded
with simultaneous "Amen." Not to
say amen would be regarded as a
breach of military discipline; but in
Russia such an omission could scarcely
occur, for the whole. population except
some of the educated class, accepts with.
out question the orthodox faith.
Three times year the whole Russian
army takes the Communion, one COM
pany at the time, and all are requirad to
fast vigorously for one week previous to
the ceremony. Every company in the
army possesses its own holy image,
which. is placed conspicuously in its
quarters, and before it burns Increasingly
a little lamp. In every barrack there is
an altar, before which the chaplain says
mass once month.
All the religious services and usages
have the same character of military dis
cipline, something required of every
man, to VIII ch no one thinks Of object
ing. The Kussians, in their own way,
are probably the most universally relig-
ious people in the Cid World. Even the
few sceptics practise the prescribed re-
ligious observances. In no part of the
great empire, however, is there complete
religious freedom.

The, Orchid Fad.

There is an orchid establishment In
Jersey City, N. j., which is a branch
Of an establishment at St. Albans,
kare and costly orchids of hundreds
of different kinds were seen there by q
New York 1tleEana reporter.
"What is the pr ce of this one2" he
asked, as he pointed to large, yellow
flower with ruled edges.
''That one is worth $3.50"
"Why are they so costly?"'
'That variety is quite rare. You will
notice that it has an extraordinary dark
shade near the centre of the blow. Here
is one that you might think more beauti-
full than the other, but it is much more
common, and we can sell it for SIS.
"The prices of orchids range from 81
to $1,000 each. Their cost depends on
the rarity of the variety, the expense of
collecting them in remote parts of the
world and the difficulty with which they
are imported.
"Then, too, they are very slow to
multiply from bulbs, and it takes from
ten to twenty years to produce flowers
Why were not orchids introduced
sooner2"
"Attempts have frequently been made
to do so, but they were failures because
their culture, which in reality Is very
simple, was not understood"
"What kind of treatment do they
required"
"The orchid is an air plant. If planted
in earth its roots will Immediately strike
out for its favorite element, and the
plant will not do we'll until air is
reached. They grow finely on. pieces of
wood or bark, and, in dry atmospheres,
it is we'll to put them in pots containing

mo; it is yet comparatively email.
Perhaps the finest private collections in
this country are owned by Mr.. Kimball,
of Rochester; Mr. anderbilt and Jay
Gould. In England they are rapidly
becoming famous, and it is probable
that they will in time entirely supersede
the rose all over the world, as they are
more beautiful, fragrant and lasting.
''The finest bouquets ever made were
entirely of orchids. They were, from the
Queens of En- gland and Saxony. Many
men were employed several days in COL
lecting the flowers, which, for. the two
bouquets, cost about $4,000. They were
gathered from all parts Of the world"
