GRAssHoPPERs IN ALGERIA.
Two Thousand Soldiers and Six Times al
Many Arabs Fighting Them.


Two Thousand Soldiers and Six Times az
Many Arabs Fighting Them.
New York sun.I
Immense swarms of grasshoppers have in.
vaded parts of the country of Algeria and
are spelling lots of things. Two thousand
soldiers, aided by 10000 Arabs, have been
employed to fight the pest. The roadways
present the appearance of battlefield and
extraordinary efforts are being made to rid
the surrounding country of this insect
enemy.
This is not the first time that this plague
has devastated Algeria In 1S45 the har-
vests of almost the entire country were de-
stroyed by grasshoppers. From 1747 to
1749 these insects desolated Algeria, ex-
tending their ravages even TO parts of
Europe.
Millions on millions Of the dead bodies of
these insects are covering at present the
great roadway leading from Mascara to
Mostaganim, and filling the springs and
rivers. The task of killing these masses of
grasshoppers is no small one. Imagine q
district of 100 miles in circumference which
not long ago was covered with wheat, tobacco
and fig and olive trees, but now is SO densely
covered with grasshoppers that not single
green branch or leaf can be seen. For three
years a distinguished Partisan naturalist.
M. Kunkle. has been studying how to ex-
terminate these creatures.
The best pla n seems to be that of stamp
ing the moving, quivering heaps with the
bare feet. Shovels and other sharp instru-
ments are used, but it has been noticed that
the elastic layers of grasshoppers tend to re-
bound after pressure and only the layers on
top are crushed. Large fires have also been
lighted, but the dense smoke arising from
the flames is only partly effective in prevent
ing the descent of these all-devouring

How q Condemned Man Taught q Fanny
Fellow a Severe Lesson.
Philadelphia Times.)
Some years ago it was still the custom in
France to conduct condemned criminals
through gaping crowds of idle spectators to
the public guillotine. On one such occasion
the unfortunate, seated upon his coffin In
the cart, heard would-be wit in the crowd
remark to q companioni
"well, I'll bet that fellow don't feel
much like laughing?"
The coarse attempt at q Joke stung the
prisoner, and when he arrived at the scat
fold he asked that the proceedings be stayed
a moment as he had confession to make.
although denied it at my trial, I had
accomplices in the crime for which have
been sentenced. and there, +" pointing to the
Joker, ''is one of them now."
Great excitement ensued and the party
designated was seized by the gendarmes
with no gentle hands. Out of the confusion
somebody managed to drag order and the
wit was placed on the scafford beside his ac-
cuser.
Such fearful case of abject terror as the
Joker presented was never witnessed in that
somber locality. After enjoying his help
vict said to the official in charge:
HE tried to make sport of my suferings,
but the man is innocent. And as soon as
he seemed to be sure that il was no laugh
ing matter for me to be here, was curious
to see how much such funny fellow would
laugh under similar circumstances himself"

How He Fell in Love Boy and Saved

How He Fell In Love ms a Boy and Saved
His sweetheart From Cholera.
Philadelphia Press.1
Crispi's youth contained one episode toe
romantic and touching to be passed over.
It was in 1887, in his second year at the
University of Palermo, that be met young
girl called Rosina. She was the daughter
of widow, and had three sisters and q
brother. She was beautiful and he fell IN
love with her, although he was scarce Is
and Rosina but 16. Naturally his father
would not hear of his marrying. Hence he
made him come home and leave Palermo
and Rosina.
But francesca pined and neither ate nor
slept. They sent him into the country, to
their villa at Sciacca for change of air. In
vain. That year the cholera came into
Sicily and devastated, beyond other towns,
Palermo. where Rosina dwelt francesca
heard the terrible tales of suffering and re-
solved to save his beloved or die with her.
He, therefore, set out upon farmers horse,
and made his way to Palermo and to Ros-
mas house, nor did he arrive too soon, for
the mother was already dead, so were the
eldest and the youngest sister, and only one
sister remained alive beside Rosina and the
brother who was dying.
francesca sold his horse to the postmaster,
and with the money obtained he succored
the two desolate girls. Meantime Fran
cesco's people did not know what had be-
come of him and mourned him as dead.
But one day. 10 and behold, who should
come tro;ting along ths road, drawing the
post wagon, but the farmers horse. who had
disappeared at the same time with Fran
cesco This clew the family. therefore, fol-
lowed up, until in Palermo, with Rosina,
francesca was found. There was nothing
TO be done then but to accept the situation,
and the married infants received the bless
ing of the good Tommaso. This child-wife,
Rosina, only lived two years.

tical politics 1 ever saw. 1t was full of sug-
gestions to those whose duty 1t is to prepare
the youth Of the country for participation in
popular government. If it had not been for
this young man, whose name was Brown, we
never should have had any show at all in
that caucus. By this time toughs realized
what was going on and they crowded upon
us Brown put his back against me, as 1
hung over the rail, and received the on
slsught on his ample chest. For q moment
was in doubt whether the rail or my spine
would break first; then the rail gave way,
and we went through.
When we got upon the platform Brown
Immediately descended into the crowd to
pay his respects to some Of the toughs who
had been particularly offensive. While he
was thus engaged my supporters, who had
now gained some courage, yelled for me to
take the chair. But Yates had crawled un-
der the rail, and now held the chair by the
back. He was q large man with broken
nose, and he did not look pleasant

OSTRICH NEST BUILDING.
The Lady Bird Does the Bossing, and Insists
That it il Done Right.

The Lady Bird Does the Bossing, and Insist.
That it il Done Right.
I had an opportunity, says Santa Anna,
CAL, correspondent of the New York World,
writing of the ostrich farm there. of witness
ing the building Of permanent nest. The
female bird trotted around the lot in pc
culiar manner, now and then pecking at the
ground with her bill. Finally she found a
spot to her liking, and scratched up the
sandy loan little with her foot. Then
she walked away, proud and happy in the
knowledge that she had found the proper
place for digging the family nest. She re-
tired to q further corner of the lot and sat
down.
Then the male bird, a handsome, black
plumed fellow, strutted over to the spot
where the head of the house had scratched
away the turf. He went to work with a
will and soon his big, two-toed feet armed
with their heavy claws, had dug out quite a
hole in the soft sand. He did not stop until
he had made an excavation FULLY as broad as
the body OF his beloved mate and about a
foot in depth. Then he spoke to her in
ostrich language and she Immediately came
to the nest.
There were some modern Improvements
which he had overlooked, perhaps, for she
wasn't pleased with it exactly. She gave
him few more instructions and sat down to
watch the progress of the work. The old
fellow went to work like dutiful husband,
scratched off a little more dirt here and dug
little deeper there, until he had appar.
emily carried out the orders of his spouse.
She then sat down in her nest, ruffled her
feathers, kicked and scratched little and
finally pronounced the nest fit.
Then they both went gossiping around by
the fence, letting the Inhabitants of the
ostrich village into the secret that they had
the latest improved and best appointed nest
in all ostrichdom and were about to hatch
brood which should be the envy and wonder
of all beholders.

WHERE THE SECRET rs now.

WHERE THE SECRET rs NOW.
Having no children of his own, the secret
formula for the hydrophobia remedy was
bequeathed by DR.. s. s. to the next nearest
akin, DR.. James /. Marchand, Of Irwin Sta
ton, one Of wsalthiest and foremost citizens
Of that pretty little town. He has ever
since complied with all requests for the pill.
His modest little frame Office on Second
street is rather hard to find for q stranger,
and their is nothing about it to indicate
other than general practitioners business.
The doctors name and nothing more is
inscribed on the card at the eoor. Irwin
people will readily recognize the picture of
the Office in these columns.
DR.. James Marchand fully realizes that
he owns something that would prove YER
liable gold mine to him II properly adver-
tised But he refuses 10 do that, saying
that the requirements under which the
formula descended to him forbids advertis-
ing of any kind. If people hear of It and
need 1t, let them CONT to him for pill, but
he will 60 to no pains to make known the
remedy.
THEY REFUSE TO ADVERTISE.
Some of the medical profession are ene-
mics of the pill and its owners, because the
code of ethics In medicine demands the free
use of all medicines and instruments, no
matter how discovered, ior the whole pro-
fession. The Marchands insist on keeping
their secret to themselves. But they free
themselves from all suspicion of quackery
by SO steadily refusing to advertise the pill.
They charge very little more for it than
ordinary medicine of any kind, the ingredl-
euts being little more expensive. Dr.
James was even 10th to talk to me about
the matter fearing that the effect might be
to practically advertise him.
He admitted that within his own practice
of the formula he had met with no failures,
and he has treated probably 200 persons
who claimed to have been bitten by mad
dogs. Many Of these were treatment by
letter, because patients have applied to him
from as far west as California. Others have
come to Irwin from such distances as
Minnesota.
ABSOLUTELY NO FAILURES.
He always makes the request when he ad-
ministers or sends away pill that he be
notified if it fails to prevent hydrophobia.
In no instance has he received an unfavor-
ably reply. The doctor said Of course many
of the persons whom he treated may have
been mistaken as to the nature of their in
Jury. Fear often leads a persons to think
that q dog that has bitten him was mad.
And very frequently also people think it
best to be on the safe side when bitten,
whether the dog was mad or not. "This
pill, "he said, "is not a cure for hydropho-
bia in its active stages. It is a prevent
i've If taken as soon after the biting as
possible"
"How does the number of your patients
this summer compare with that Of other
seasons?" Iasked DR.. Marchand in con-
clusiou.
There have been fewer applicants for
the hydrophobia pill this summer than ever
before, he replied.
So Chief j. o. Browns war on unmuzzled
dogs in Pittsburg was a success after all.

Health Authorities of Ontario Taking Steps
TO Stamp II Out.
New York Star.1
There is considerable excitement over the
discovery that leprosy has made its appear
ance in several remote parts of the Dominion
hitherto unaffected. Heretofore the dread
disease was believed to have been confined
within the limits of Lazarerto at Tracade.
DR.. Smith, the medical officer at Lazaretto,
is now watching the cases reported on the
Island OF Anticosta.
1t is believed to have been the result OF
intermarriage, and has secured a strong foot
hold, spreading out to the mainland. It ap-
pears that an infected family went from Port
Mansfell, Caraquet, to the Island Of Anti
costa some years ago. Referring to cases in
the portion OF New Brunswick from which
this family removed, DR.. Smith In his report
saws:
"Of late leprosy has been dying out in
Trancade, but, finding cases outcropping in
the neighboring districts, made q special
tour OF investigation and found q growing
form OF the disease between Caraquet and
Shippegan, tracing also from this center
several cases to other settlements which will
in turn, if overlooked, become new foci OF
the disease"

CHAPTER VI.
FAIRY LAND.

1t was soft summer night, cool and
fragrant after the heat Of the long July
day; and here under an awning in the stern
of the house-boat White Rose, were George
Bethune, his granddaughter Maisrie and
Vincent Harris, looking out upon the magic
scene that stretched away from them on
each hand up and down the river. ALI the
dusk was on fire with illuminations; the
doors and windows Of the housed boats sent
forth dull golden glow; there were col
ored lamps, crimson, blue, and orange;
there were strings of Chinese lanterns that
scarcely moved in the faint stirring of
wind; and now and again an electric launch
would 60 by-stealthily and silently-with
brilliant festoons of fierce white lights
causing Ii to look like some
gigantic and amazing insect ir-

made her way along to the ladies' cabin al
the bow, into which she disappeared. Vim
Harris now lit cigar-the first during this
day.
But when old George Bethune resumed
his monologue, it was neither Highland
clans nor Lowland songs that concerned him;
it was something that proved to be a good
deal more interesting to his patient listener.
1t was Of Maisrie's youth that he spoke, and
that in far more simple and natural way
than was his wont. There were no genealog-
ical vauntings, no exalted visions of what
she should be when she came in for her
rights; there were "reminiscences Of her
earlier years, and of his and her wander1ngs
together; and there was throughout a GER
tain wistfulness in his tone. For once he
talked without striving for effect, without
trying oratorically to convince himself; and
it is to be imagined how entirely Vincent
was engrossed by this simple recital. Not
that there was any consecutive narrative.
The young man could only vaguely

carried me out through window on the
right of the platform. After this perform
ance, Yates raped for order, and called for
nominations of "gents ter receive, sort an
count de votes"
Mr.. Brown thereupon approached the
railing and announced that was to be one
of the tellers. Mr.. Yates looked Mr.. Brown
all over, and said he guessed that could be
teller without the formality Of vote.
Other names were suggested. and the voting
soon began. I don't mind saying that If 1t
hadn't been for Brown we shouldn't have
got dozen votes in the box; as it was we

President, Johnson, sitting on the end of a
beer cask, was just dealing a Jackpot on
the head of a barrel. Mr.. johnson was the
color of the ace of spades-which he had in
his sleeve learned that the object of the

polls, but did not find out just what
amount of recognition in dollars and cents
would be satisfactory. 80 = =

not care to do either. After this experience
I returned to the Young Mems Reform
Club. We were told that the place to re-

to go to the primary and run it right. Be-
fore the night of the caucus we got SO many
that we felt sure of having a majority on
our side.
