Worms That Feed on Ice.

The ice fend has been known to sci
entific societies and Arctic explorers for
"a great many years-for half a century,
at least. It is believed that a Red Star
steamer, one that came in contact with
an iceberg in mid-ocean in 1870,
brought the first of the species to the
Atlantic coast, they first making their
appearance Immediately after that cpl
sOde.
DR.. Heckelmeyer classified the insect
and named it nematoxis eczema. Pro-
fessOr Pintori, of the Smithsonian, spent
much time studying nematoxis, which he
says is the caterpillar of vespa eczema, the
ice wasp. The worm may be handled
with impunity, but the wasp, or, more
| correctly speaking, the larvae. just at the
time of transition, is said to be quite
dangerous, the bite of the creature being
quite poisonous.
When actively engaged in the destruc-
ton of an ice crop, the worm when at
its best and capable of doing the most
mischief, is about six inches in length,
almost transparent, looking more like a
glass tube than living, breathing ami
mai. Nematoxis is doing great deal of
damage to the ice crop of Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland and New Brunswick this
winter; he will gnaw his way back and
forth through a block of ice, honey
combing it as completely as the wood
worm does the hickory cordstick.
The scientists of the northeast cos st
are devising ways and means to rid
themselves Of the obnoxious creature

Founded 4 Leading Family.

In York County town one of the
leading families is that of the name of
Walker, and the story of its foundation
would afford fit material for a romancist,
says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. 1t was
over two hundred years ago and more
when young Brunswick lady of wealth,
accompanied by her groom, galloped
through on her way to Boston. There
were no railroads then, and the stage or
horseback was the accepted means of
locomotion. Miss Purinton chose the
latter. AS she went her saddle girth
broke, and no one could be found to re-
pair the damage except young Andrew
Walker, who kept little harness shop
in the village. He was desperately poor,
but desperately handsome, and as he
mended the broken strap he at the same
time broke our fair maids heart. He,
too, was stricken by the self same shaft
from Cupid's bow It was case of love
at first sight. The sequel was that he
earned home, pressed his suit and won
his bride, and both fell asleep, full Of
years and honor.

Boston papers facetiously remark that
ga Grippe is seldom fatal unless you use all
the remedies recommended for it They are
correct. The writer fully believes that the
end OF the poor grip victial, if he tried all
the patent medicines that have adorned ~
the pages of our leading newspapers as sure
cur es for La Grippe would be like Mark
Twain, who for his famous cold tried every
remedy advised by friends, until his stomach
became so weak he began to vomit, and
continued until, as he AYERS, he was like 20

of the leading advertisers OF tina dar hm
been conspicuous at this opportune time by
the absence of any claim to cure the grip
They certainly deserve q Chrome and we
feel like giving them q free 'ad' for their
compassion upon our readers. The more so
tor the reason that probably more people
have used their remedy, that good Or family
medicine, Johnson's Anodyne Lininnent, for
this foreign influenza, than all others COM
bined. And why not: Certainly no other
will relieve catarrhal colds, coughs, bron-
chial troubles, or neuralgia pains as prompt
ly as that same old Anodyne Liniment, and
the above are all symptoms or results OF La
Grippe. Herein lies the real after dangers
from this epidemic of influenza, it leaves the
mucous membrane Innings of the nose, throat
and bronchial tubes tender and very suscep-
tible to the catarrh, bronchial troubles and
pneumonia which come with February and
March in our northern climate. We shall
sS3l pin our faith to remedy CfCr this after
trouble) which acts promptly to allay in
fammation; for therein lies the chief danger
from throat and lung troubles. And surely
q remedy that has the friends that Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment has, after eighty years
trial by critical public, and has been used
for the grip more extensively than all the
advertised remedies, deserves, as We said,
medal, and has before it we hope prosper

The marvellous influence which Stanley
exercised, not only over his Zanzibar fol-
lowers, but also over all the natives with
whom he was brought into contact dur
ing his trans-African expedition, is at
tributed by his European companions to
the peculiar expression of his eyes. One
of the latter describes them as follows
"He first looks at the natives as if he
were going TO eat them, and then when
they give in and do what he wants, he
looks as if he had done so, and was
grateful to them for the meal" His eyes
are stated frequently to display that
strange far-away light which constituted
the most striking characteristic of the
late General Gordon's personal appear
ance. Gordon, like Stanley, seemed to
possess a kind Of supernatural influence
over the natives of Africa, who regarded
the puny and delicate-looking little Gen
eral with the same awe as they manifest
toward Stanley.
Stanley's present visit to Cairo recalls
the fact that the first time he passed
through the Egyptian metropolis was in
1868, when on his way to join the Brit
ish expedition to Abyssinia. On that
occasion England spent sum of $40
600, 900 to effect the rescue of eight per-
sons from the cruel hands of King Thco-
dore. Stanley now returns after lapse
of twenty-five eventful years to the banks
of the Nile, with the proud consciousness
of having rescued 300 persons at a cost
to England of $50, 600. Stanleys re-
ceptions on his arrival at Cairo was more
magnificent and enthusiastic than any
that have ever been accorded to the
crowned heads, special ambassadors or
victorious Generals who have passed
through the Khedive's capital during the
last thirty years. The most Characters
tic feature of the scene, however, seems
to have been the fact that, apparently
unconcerned by the ovation with which
he was greeted, Stanley's sole preoccul a
ton was about the safety of his baggage.

TITS BETTER TO LIVE
I have sometimes felt that the burden

have sometimes felt that the burden
OF life was too heavy to bear;
And have loDged to lie down at the noontide
And rest and forget all my care;
But overxny heart comes a message,
Repeated again and again
at is better to live and to safer
Than to die to be rid of the pain
There is rest in the darkness of dying,
And an end to the weary despair;
The grave holds sure peace and calm silence,
No sorrow nor pain can be there;
But perhaps, in the struggle of living,
Is soul that has need Of my care
Some heart may be bearing burden
That my hand may tighten or share.
'Twould be easy to say II am weary"
And lie down and give up the strife,
To suffer no more with the heart-ache
And sorrow I meet in this life;
But perhaps from my sorroW-sweps heart
strings
A melody sweet may be wrung,
And my lips when they drank deep OF suf-
fering,
The tenderest songs may have sung.
IT'S SO hard to be patient with living,
Wien all the world is awry;
So wearisome waiting for pleasures
That will only come after we die;
But even through all my complaining
| can hear that undying refrain
otis better to live and to suffer,
Than 20 die 20 be out of the pain
1 will live and be strong and will suffer
1fneed be- until find rest
When life and its trials are over
Though never by life should be blest,
Though always the sun should be darkened
By the clouds that hang over my way,
will trust that the light will be clearer
When at last [ awake lin the day

SuperstitiOns About Cats.

On the subject of cats most of our
people are superstitious, and like the
Egyptians believe it sacrilege to take the
life of cat. They think it all right to
take the life of horse, hog, COW, mule,
goat, dog, dec, or almost any other ami
NAL, but their reverence for the average
house-cat is so strong that they will en-
dure any amount of fright and disturb
ance before they will venture to take the
life of kitty puss or any of her offspring

may be said to have grown up with it.
Forty years ago the inhabitants OF the
city were reported by the Seventh United
States Census at less than seven thousand
people; and forty-three years ago When
Mr.. Taylor became permanently n OF its
citizens the population OF Jersey CITY
probably did not much exceed five thouS-
and. When Mr.. Taylor died the city had
probably reached 100000. .
in the life and progress OF the city OF
his adoption he was a potent force. WIN
the leading minds n characters or the
city he was associated in the building OF
its streets, the management OF It's finances
and the guidance of its corporations. In
council and in work he was q neg
alive, but always apositive man. lie q
his own views and convictions and the
courage of them. He was public spirited.
Though never / think an office holder IN
the city or State he had something to do
in his day with the selection OF municipal
and State officers.
mot only among the conspicuous and
controlling minds of Jersey City was
David Taylor's personality and influence
recognized and felt, but among the
masses in the lower walks OF life. His
sympathy for the toiling and unfortun-
ate classes gave him ascendency over
them. They saw in him a brother, and
never doubted his fidelity to them. Sit
ting with him in his office, | have seen
them come to him for relief in their need
and misfortune. and have observed the
~quickness and cheerfulness of responses
to their plea for help. The Door woman
who needed shoes for her feet and the
laboring man who wanted help in some
emergency would approach him and go
away with light hearts, having their
wants redressed by his hand.
ssSuch was his standing among all
classes of the city. the high, the low, the
rich, the poor, the scholarly and the il
literate. that had he ever been put before
the people for their SURFACES for any
position of honors in the municipality he
would have been an almost inyincible
candidate. But probably he never de-
sired, nor do / think he would have &C
cepted in the years of his greatest popu-
larity any public office. Yet it is safe to
say thousand of his fellow citizens IN Jer-
sey City would have enjoyed as a luxury
the work of promoting him to places of
public dignity and service in the city or
State.
