Intelligence of Beavers.

The intelligence of the beaver is
proverbial," says a correspondent OF
the St. James Gazette, "but it may not
be general y known that if a steel trap
is left visible in one of his runs he will
deliberately spring it with stick; but
if it is so artfully covered with snow or
leaves that he steps on it unwarily. he
will twist round and round till the limb
is severed. 1t is only under water that
a steel trap will hold beaver, and then
because he browns before he can twist
himself free. l once caught beavers
foot in this wa, and some weeks after
ward another trapper caught a three
footed animal in a dead-fall. This was
evidently my beaver, so bought his
skin and eventually brought it to Lon
don, where it was sold, to be converted
so I was informed-into a seal-skin
vest"

College Boys on a FroIic.

1t is told in Boston that a party OF
Harvard students, anxious to get even
with the Boston police for some I'M
doubtedly good reason, bought bar
ber's pole, got q receipt, and started
through the streets bearing their
property. OF course they were soon
stopped by policeman. Hello. there,

them to the police station. Whats
the trouble, officer?" asked the SER
peant. ''Stealin' a BARRIERS pole. "
Then the policeman gave detailed
account of the crime and the arrest Of
the criminals, who were about to be
sent to their dungeon cells, when one
of them handed the sergeant the re-
ceipt. "Oficer. you may return to
your beat" said the sergeant, and the
students filed out. bearing the pole
proudly. Two blocks away another
policeman stopped them. Then fol-
lowed the same dialogue, another ar
rest. and the same scene at the station.
And so it went on until the young men
had been arrested six times. They
might have been arrested twelve times

to the police not to modest the party of

THE HOT-AIR CURE.
Something About the Simple Diet of the

Something About the Simple Diet of the
South American Cowboys.
When in the Republics of the Uru-
quay and the Argentine in 1868, where
| met Captain Burton, | found that the
tea of Paraguay (mate) as a hot infu-
sion used by Englishmen sin the
camp did, with mutton, all that is
claimed by your correspondent. The
fellows in the distant camp were often
six and eight weeks without any thing
but mate and their sheep, and to my
horror | found that each at a meal could
eat merely sodden shoulder of mutton,
which for an hour had been toasted
from a wooden stake over a fire of dry
cow dung. The mutton so pre- pared was
often perfOrce eaten without bread, salt
or pepper, and then it was always rel
ished for its own sake, but washed
down with inactivity, it was living
like fighting-cock! Still, | am bound
to confess that when the fellows from
the distant camp visited Buenos Ayres
or Monte Video, they made straight for
a confectioner' shop, and "hobbling"
their horses in the street, they gOrged
themselves with cake like so
many schoolboys Yet the Rcpub-
lies of South America con-
firm the statements of your correspond
ent, with this qualiic ton, that the hot
water may be infused mate, and that
if fat and sinew are liked they may be
eaten freely. The dwellers in the camp
are the leanest, the most enduring,
and the healthiest men living, sixty
miles on horseback before breakfast
being as little thought of as the walk of
a Londoner from the bank to the stock
exchange. 1t should be added that
children begotten in the camp inherit
these qualities, with intelligence be-
yond their years from an English point
of view. The boy or girl of eight or
ten years may be trusted to climb up
the fore leg of horse that he or she
may chase sheep running before a
storm, to be headed homeward to a
corral. One word more: simple finger
cut on the pampas practica ly involves
lockjaw; and it may therefore be asked
whether this follows from a diet of hot
wafer and meat without vegetable or
mineral accompaniment p Barry, in

BENEFICIAL INSECTS.

chronological Information for Horticul.
turIsts and Gardeners.
At a recent meeting of farmers in
Iowa, Mr.. c. P. Gillette. speaking of
entomology for the horticulturist, said:
1T is utterly impossible to definitely
draw the line and say just how much
entomology the hOrticulturist or farmer
should know. There is no limit to the
information that one might gain in the
study of insects that would be a benefit
to him in devising methods of proven
ton and remedy. | shall not go out
side of what may be called the essen
tial knowledge to successful warfare
against our insect foes.
THE horticulturist should be able to
distinguish injurious from beneficial
species. The majority of insects are
vegetable feeders, but there are great
many that feed upon or within the
bodies of other insects, causing them to
die. These latter are called preface
Gus or parasitic. and in the main are
beneficial, as they destroy many injur-
ious forms. When the lice have been
mostly eaten from a plant by the lady
beetles, the Orchardist, finding many of
the latter and few of the former, nat
urallv attributes the damage to the
beetles, and proceeds to destroy all that
he can find. Natures check is in this
way removed, and the lice increase
again and the injury goes on perhaps
worse than before. 1t is not at all I'M
common for entomologists to receive
these little friendly insects from farm
ers or fruit growers who report them
as doing much damage to some tree or
plant.
THE lady beetles, or lady birds, as
they are often called, are among the
most beneficial of our predaceous in
sects. Their food consists almost en-
tirely of plant lice and the eggs of in
sects and they should always be pro.
tected. Nearly every one knows these
insects in their adult state. They are
rather small and are shaped much like
a Colorado potato beetle, and are usu
ally decorated with bright white OF
black spots. Who has not said when s
child, Lady-bird, Lady-bird, fly away
homer Two other very beneficial in
sects that can only mention are the
larvae of the Surplus flies and the beau
tiful lace-winged Chrysopa. These are
most commonly found in colonies o
plant lice, of which they devour Large
numbers"

A paragraph going the rounds OF
Georgia papers tells OF the first ap-
pearance OF cotored lawyer
in Atlanta. 1t was when Aaron
Alpeoria Bradley went to the State
Senate. Bradley was a kind-hearted
mulatto, a sharp fellow, too, and when
he rose unexpectedly in the courtroom
one day to defend a case the lawyer on
the other side was SO indignant at his
impudence that he Immediately forgot
every thing he knew. The mdlatto
lawyer called for the papers in the case,
looked at them through his eyeglasses
and made a motion to dismiss upon
some technicality. The court granted
the motion, and Bradley, with an ag-
prayating twist of his mustache, swag-
gered off. leaving the white lawyer so
full of rage and modification that he
would not open his mouth

THE ANDAMAN PIGMIES.
The Fiercest Little Savages in the World
at Last Won by Kindness.

at Last w on Dy hIn0neSs.
In the Bay of Bengal is chain of
islands known as the Andamans, whose
inhabitants have long been famous for
their extreme ferocity, their diminu-
tive stature and the utter failure of
missionaries who have labored among
them for twenty years without making
a single convert. 1t has been almost
certain death for a stranger to set foot
on some of these islands, and it may
now be said for the first time that
through the exercises of long and pa
tient kindnesses these little folks have
been infused with some measure of
confidence in the outer world. A large
part of their coasts may now be visited
without inviting the tragedies of which
we have often read as occurring there.
The Indian Government has long

of it resolved to try upon the fierce
dwarfs of Little Andaman the policy
that had won for them the good will Of

expedition, assaulted as usual when it
landed with arrows and battle axes,

ers and carried them nearly hundred
miles away to Fort Blair. They were
treated with the utmost kindness, and
after a while began to think they were
among friends. In two months they
were restored to their island loaded
with all the presents they could carry.
Upon the next visit of the whites the
released captives came to see them, and
in a few days men, women and chill
dren fearless visited the camp, and
even ventured on board the steam
launch. Some of them have since Wis
tied the white settlement on South An
daman, and, though tact and caution
are still required to deal with them, it
is believed that soon shipwrecked
crews will be able to land on Little An
daman with perfect safety.
As far as we know, the Andamanese
are one of the smallest races of men
that ever existed. The average height
of the men, Prof. Flower tells us, is !
feet 9 inches that of the women feet
inches. They are about the same
size as the South African Bushmen, and
we know no people smaller than the
Bushmen except the Aka of Central
Africa. Evidently of Negrito stock, the
iso alton resu ting from their fer, eness
has kept them a pure and primitive
race, still in the stone age, forming
Nleir huts of boughs and leaves, and
presenting to othnologists a most inter
esting field of study.
Only one tribe of these wild people
has thus far proved wholly untamable.
The Jarawas Of Great Andaman keep
their arrows sharpened for any whites
who pass their way. Some of them
have been taken captive. honored with
the kindest attention, and finally sent
home loaded with presents, but the
hatred they cherished for the white
race is still as fierce and vindictive as
