Grnsshopper War in Algerla.

Immense swarms of grasshoppersh have
Invaded parts of the country of Algeria
and are spelling lots of things. Two
thousand soldiers, aided by Il, 900 Arabs,
have been employed to fight the pest.
The roadways present the appearance of
n 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 harvests of almost the entire country
were destroyed by grssshoppers. From
1747 to 1749 these insects desolated AL
geTia, extending their ravages even to
parts of Europe.
Millions on millions of the dead bodies
of these insects are covering at present
tho great roadway leading from Mascara
to Mostaganim, and filling tie springs
and rivers. The task of killing these
masses of grasshoppers is no small one.
Imagine a district Of 100 miles in cir
cumference which not long ago was
covered with wheat, tobacco and fig and
olive trees, but now is SO densely cov-
cred with grasshoppers that not single
green branch or leaf can be seen. For
three years distinguished Partisan
naturalist, NJ. Kunkel, has been study
ing how to exterminate these creatures.
The best plan seems to be that of stamp
ing the moving, quivering heaps with
the bare feet. Shovels and other sharp
instruments arc used, but it has been
noticed that the elastic layers of grass
hoppers tend to rebound 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 preventing the
descent of these all devouring swar1ns.

A local newspaper man who went
down to visit his wife ut tho seashore
recently had a very narrow escape from
causing what, to put it mildly, would
have been talk. His wife was boarding
at tho Blank house. It seems that there
is also IL New Blank house at this resort.
Ignorant of that fact, when the young
Journalist espied a porter with Blank
house on his cap he said to himself,
''This is my place." and he allowed the
porter to pilot him over to the hotel.
On arriving there he asked, as a matter
of form, if a lady of u certain name, Civ
ing his own, was staying there. On be-
ing assured that she was he remarked
that he guessed ho would go up to see
her. II don't believe she is up yet" re-
marked the clerk. "Oh, that doesn't
make any difference" tho other respond
ed confidently; "Tll go up" Tho clerk
stared at him, but finally gave him the
number of the room and sent Il porter
along with him. "She must be up by
this time," he remarked to the porter;
1.-The baby wouldn't let her stay in bed"
"The baby2 Why, she has no baby"
the porter said. Reitcration and denial
followed, and finally it entered the jour
nalists mind that it was possible for
lady of the same namo as his wife to be
staying ut that hotel. The matter was
finally Strengthened out and he found
his wife at another hotel.-Washington

Trensures in tho passuic River.

A few days ago "Bert" Lyons and a
dozen other boys were diving in about
ten feet of water in tho Passaic river
near Belleville, N. j., in rivalry as to
which of them should bring up tho most
shells from tho muddy bottom. When
it was young Lyons turn to plunge he
remained SO long under the water that
his companions began to fear that he
had gone down to stay, or else was gath
ering so many shells that the contest
would be virtually over when he reap
peared. He came up at last, however,
without any shells, but holding aloft tri-
umphantly, for the contemplation of his
envious friends, IL solid silver double
case Waltham watch and chain that he
had fished out of the depths. The watch
had stopped at 7:so o'clock, but the
proud finder has ascertained that it will
merrily resume work when the water
has been pumped out of it and its in
ternal organization has been soaked for
ten days in oil.-New York Tribune.

Trinls of Mail Smuggling.

cut to fit a customer can be sent by
piecemeal. We discovered one-half a
trousers leg in a big letter once, and we
decided to lay for the rest of tho suit.
Sure enough, eight big, thick letters fol
lowed, addressed to the same man. Our
first idea was to send for the man and
compel him to pay duty, but then the
joke was too good and had to be played
to its legitimate conclusion.
"We sent him q piece Of the pants, a
piece Of the vest and coat sleeve"
Tho deputy went on to say that on the
following day the young fellow came in,
all of perspiration. He was expecting
some foreign mails from "Lunnon, don't
you know" and at least five letters were
missing. He was told to come on the
following day and the letters might be
found.
He came, and Postmaster Van Cott
forced him to open in his presence the
three letters they had discovered, and out
came the dutiable goods and the swell
had to foot.
But" concluded the deputy, "these
were not all the letters, and we made
him worry for two weeks over tho miss

Banker Won Kcndler,s Trial,

Herr Alfred Won Kendler, whose trial
for fraud has commenced before Vienna
jury, was the head of an old banking
house founded in 1900, which failed in
November last with liabilities amounting
to upward Of 2,500,00O forins. The
prisoner, who was arrested week after
this event, is charged with appropriating
to his own use deposits of private per-
sons or firms amounting to nearly 2,OO0,-
600 florins. 1t appears that the accused,
who was of extravagant habits, began to
tamper with the deposits in 1881. Among
the persons defrauded is tho head waiter
at the hotel where Kendler used to dine,
and who had given up tho whole of his
savings, amounting to over 20 900 forins.
Tho accused, who is man Of 60 years of
age, when asked by the president of the
court whether he pleaded guilty, an
swered that the facts stated in tho indict-
ment were, generally speaking, correct;
but that, as he firmly believed and hoped
he would be able to replace the borrowed
money, he did not feel guilty. The trial
is the topic of general conversation in
Vienna society.-Cor. London Standard

AT first sight one would suppose that
the class above all others that would
hail with delight n general strike of po-
lice would be the burglars. Curiously
enough this is not so. Tho professional
burglar is dead against such strike;
for, as he correctly reasons, though the
police ceased to protect property, prop
erty would not thereby be Left unpro-
tected. In fact it would be protected
all tho more by tho owners themselves,
and the burglars special knowledge, ac-
quired from local observation of the
habits of tho police, would for tho time
being be useless. In the police the burg
lar knows exactly what he has to cope
with. When every householder is his
own policeman, however, it Is different,
for the burglar is quite ignorant of the
weapons that may bo waiting to receive
him in any given case.-London Mer-

Tricks of tho Birds.

II was much amused one afternoon
says an observant friend, "by n little
family scene on twig of an elm tree,
where u fly catcher had her tiny brood OF
five, just out of the nest, all perched in
arrow. She was feeding them, and the
little dots took their rations with great
content as often as the mother caught an
insect and flew back with the morsel to
each open beak in turn. The regularity
with which she kept account, feeding one
after another, in exact order, from TOP
to bottom of tho row, was very interest

Signs of War Oh broadway.


A procession of odd and dilapidate,l
looking vehicles, fastened together and
hitched to the tail of IL large two horse
truck, excited considerable interest as it
proceeded numbering along Broadway
from South ferry.
Tho horses were pretty we'll tagged
out by tho time they reached the inter-
section of Park row, and the driver of
tho truck halted opposite the Astor
house to give them rest and breathing
spell.
The vehicles, which consisted of four
timbers and gun carriages, two of which
wero surmounted by four-inch bore
field pieces of IN antique pattern, were
soon surrounded by large crowd of
idlers and curiosity seekers.
Tho guns and carriages were marked
for the Commanding Officer, Watervliet
Arsenal, West Troy, N. Y" Tho truck
driver explained that they were from
Governors island, and were ell transit
for shipment to tho West Troy arsenal,
where they were to be rehabilitated and
modernized. The carriages, he said,
weighed 1900 pounds each, and the
pieces of ordnance 800 pounds each, or
10,4OO pounds together, which, besides
the truck and driver, made u good sized
load for a team of horses to draw on a
warm day.-New York Herald.

Broken Hearted.

The sorrows of childhood are real
enough while they last. Happily, how
ever, they are not only brief, but often so
much on the surface that even the suf-
ferer hardly knows what they are about.
A small girl ran to her mother the
other day, sobbing as if her heart would
break, and burying her head in her lap
cried out that she would never, never
play with her sister Emeline again.
"Why, my child, what has Emeline
done?' the mother asked.
"Oh, mamma, she has said something
that has just broken my heart" the child
declared, sobbing yet more violently.
"What was it?"
The child paused a moment in the midst
of her wild weeping as if trying to think;
then her tears burst forth afresh.
"Oh, mamma" she cried, II can't re-
member what it was, but it was SO cruel
that she has broken my heart. youths

At n NIninc Funeral.

A Maine Clergyman, who evidently is
somewhat interested in the matter of
funeral reform, writes: "Some time ago
attended u funeral which took place on
the outskirts of civilization At the
close of the services, as usual in the
country, an invitation was given to the
audience to view tho remains After
they had done so the relatives of the de-
ceased went forward to tako their last
look at the familiar features, and natur-
ally wero much affected, some of them
sobbing and crying in an audible manner.
When all were again seated the person
who had charge of the funeral arose and
remarked, we will now allow the friends
a few minutes to git control of their
feelin's,' shen resumed his seat, while
the silence was only broken by the sound
of sighs and weeping, which gradually
died away. 1t struck me as an innova-
ton upon the usual funeral customs, but
no ono there seemed at all surprised."-

When Liszt Lived in a Fiat.

Wrapped in his dressing gown, and
with feet incased i'll slippers, Franz Liszt
was sitting comfortably one evening in
his ann chair, ready for work and invit-
ing inspiration. On the floor above, in
tho apartments of a banker, q noisy
musical soirce was in progress. Polon-
aises had succeeded waltzes, and noe
turnes had followed polonaises, when
suddenly the door of the salon opened
and Liszt entered, still wrapped in his
dressing gown. The astonishment of the
company may be imagined. With slow
steps Liszt walked toward the piano, and
tho young key FOUNDER who was sitting
at it quickly left his place. Liszt sat
down at theinstrument, carelcssly swept
his fingers over the keys as if to prelude,
and then suddenly he shut down the
cover and put tho key in his pocket.
And Immediately, with tho same tran
quill air with which he had entered, he
went out and returned to his room,
where he could work ut his ease.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

OF tho sixty odd millions of people i'll
