miles Of the track were obliged to be
swept, and carloadsof the dead insects
were shoveled over the embankment.
Many of the streams are alive with
caterpillars swimming across them to
reach the track, where they immediate
ly join the army advancing this way.
How far the march of hordes of these
insects will extend probably depends
upon their powers of endurance.
Some fifteen or twenty years ago, an
old lumberman says, there was similar
march of caterpillars in Orrington, Me.
Talking with a citizen who spends a
good deal of his time in the woods as a
surveyor, he says the caterpillar plague
is not confined to the Canadian Pacific
in this section. All the woods there
about contain numbers of them, and
they are denuding the poplars and the
jumpers of their foliage. AS yet none
have appeared on the country roads.
Nearly every fruit tree here is alive with
them. and the citizens are afraid they
will not only lose the fruit but the trees.
Nothing was ever seen like it in this Sec
ton, and the people are considerably
excited. Many are sprinkling the trees
with kerosene oil in hopes of stopping
the work of devastation.

The Berlin Marriage Market.

FROM the LONDON GLOBE.
The recent published return of the
marriages celebrated in Berlin during
the year 1887 is rather more interesting
than statistical documents of the kind
usually are. Only 122 out of the Is, 209
marriages took place between near blood
relations. OF these 113 were between
first cousins and eight were between
uncles and nieces. The remaining mar
riage was that of nephew with his
aunt. Among those who were married
were boys of Is and 81 girls of Ii or
under, together with 10 widowers of
from 20 to II, one divorced woman of 73,
and one widow of rs. The two last mar
ried men of between 45 and 80. In H.
800 cases bachelors married spinsters;
in S8l cases bachelors married widows
or divorced women; in AL spinsters
married widowers or divorced men I;
while in 522 cases widows or divorced
women married widowers or divorced
men. Two widows and one divorced
woman took bachelors as their fifth hus-
bands, and widows and 2 divorced wo-
men took as their fifth husbands men
who had been previously married,
while eight widOwers or divorced men
married spinsters after having already
buried or got rid of four wives
apiece. In many cases there was con-
siderable difference of age between the
contracting parties. AS many as 81 wO-
men were 80 or more years younger than
their husbands; AZ were from % to 80
years younger: and 123 were from 20 to
70 years younger. On the other hand,
in 4, 700 cases the woman was older than
her victim. In 81 marriages the differ
ence was between Is and 80 years; in
one marriage it was 81 years; and in an
other it was as much as 40 years. In
Berlin, as elsewhere, the young mans
fancy seems to lightly turn to thoughts
of love in the spring, rather than at any
other time; for the favorite matrimonial
month is April. But after April, Ocfo-
Der sees more marriages than any
month, and also more suicides.

A Fashion That Makes Corns.
From the Pittsburg Disnatch


"Year before last I had two women
patrons to one man." said a chiropodist.
"But last year, and so far this year, the
falling off in the former patronage has
been more than one-half. But there
has been no decrease in the number of
my male customers. How do [ account
for all thiso Easily. Fashion in shoes
is responsible for it. A year and a half
ago the high, narrow French heels were
the fashion in women's shoes, and they
are one of the best friends chlropodist
can have. They are regular and rapid
breeders Of corns. No woman can wear
q pair of such shoes long without looking
up a corn doctor. But the low fiat heel is
now the fashion. If the rest of the shoe
fits the foot, these heels are the natural
enemy of corns, and the chiropodist has
to suffer.
cit is generally believed that women
are more vain Of their feet than men are
of theirs, but my experience has shown
me that quite the contrary is the fact.
Men will insist on making their feet look
small, and any shoe that will do that is
the fashion for them. The narrow-toed
or "toothpick" style of mems shoes,
worn now as much as ever, will always
insure the corn doctor living, espe-
clally If the shoes are patent leather. A
patent leather shoe, for some reason.
will call corn into being much quicker
than an ordinary leather shoe. The fell
lows who don't have corns are those
who wear roomy-toed shoes, but they
mustn't be too large. A shoe too large
is as bad as one too small. An over
sized shoe makes corns on the bot
tom of the feet, and they are the worst
kind.
"The late war was the greatest corn
curer ever known. [ never knew a SIN
gle case of soldier in the war who suf-
fered from corns, and I was all through
it. If law should be passed that no
shoe should be worn in this country. but

A Sad Mistake.

Brander Matthews tells good story
IN the Washington Post of the ethical

Carriages Run by Gas.

A Munich firm has made a carriage
propelled by gas, which it generates
from benzine or analogous material.
The motor, which is not visible from
the outside. is placed in the rear of the
three wheeled carriage over the main
axle, and the benzine used in its pro-
pulsion is carried in closed copper re-
ceptacle secured under the seat, from
which it passes drop by drop to the
generator, and which holds enough
benzine for a journey of about seventy
five miles. The gas mixture is ignited
in a closed cylinder by means of
an electric spark. After regulating
:. the admission of the gas, the motor can
be started by simply turning hand
lever. Power is applied by the medium
of link chain belted to toothed
wheel on the rear axle. The speed of the
motor can be increased or diminished
at will by turning the lever backward
and forward, and it can be stopped by
pulling on the lever. The vehicle is
steered in the same manner as a tri-
cycle, by small front wheel. It can
attain speed of about ten miles an
hour, but in crowded streets it can be
made to move as slowly as an ordinary
vehicle. A quart of benzine is sufficient
for an hours trip.

Two Leading Features Of Masonry

A good many people seemed to be
surprised that the Masonic fraternity
did not take prominent part in the
Washington centennial celebration, con-
sidering the prominence held by Wash
ington in the order, says John II.
Deems in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. Thousands of Masons did partici-
pate, but not as Masons. There are
two leading features of Masonry that
many people, even in the order. do not
remember. These are: Non-solicita-
ton; no public displays except for flu
nerals. Frank Gouley's funeral was the
occasion for the largest Masonic turnout
ever seen in st. Louis. Next to that
comes the Garfield funeral pageant.
The last-named was a great surprise
even to it's projectors and directors.
Missouri Lodge took the initiative, and
it took hard work on the part of those
who took the matter in hand to make it
a big success. Personal invitations
were sent, believe, to every Mason in
St. Louis, including hundreds who were
not affiliated with any lodge in the city,
and the result was great dem onstra-
ton.

How a Wife Was Lost.

A pair of Berlin lovers whose union
was opposed by the girls parents,
eIoped and set out for English soil on
Hellgoland to get married. When they
got to Hamburg they found that no
steamers were running, SO they hired a
sall-boat. The waves were pretty high,
and before they had been at sea an
hour he excused himself to 60 below to
lie upon a sofa. She, left alone above
deck, thoughtabout it awhile, concluded
that she didn't want to get married
after all, and ordered the captain to
turn back toward Hamburg. There her
lover was unable to induce her to stay
with him, and she went back to Berlin
alone on the first train.

Upset Their Calculations.

The recovery of the King of the Meth
erlands has been a great surprise to his
subjects. More than half the well-to-do
families of the country had made ready
their mourning, and immense quantities
of black cloth had been purchased for
hanging the churches and other public
edifices directly the King had expired.
But now that his majesty has undergone
a species of mental and physical resur-
rection, all these funeral trappings are
useless, and their purchasers are almost
as much depressed as they would have
been had the worst occurred.

The SOLDIERS, BURIAL GROUND.

BY HELEN THAYER HCTCHbSoN.
There's camp upon bill top.
Pitched in many cleaning line,
And above that still encampment
Droops the banner OF the pine.
Never claug of lifted weapon,
Oath, nor jest, nor naughty BOAST,
Never song OF martial measure
Breaks the stiffness OF the host.
But the name of every hero
Answers from the caryen scroll,
In a white, eternal silence,
To the calling oil the roll.
And the light rains beat reveille.
And the winds their buges blow
As they keep their stern, still Dlvouac
Meath the white tents of the snow.
And no sentinel doth guard them,
For they fear not any foes,
And their password is the secret
Of the land that no pan knows.
