Locusts in Europe.

The appearance of locusts in Southern
the Rhone reminds the correspondent of
German paper that this is by no means
the first time that the latter district has
been visited by them. The local history
Of Aries mentions between the years
1545-76 several processes at law against
the locusts; for at that time the custom
still survived of subjecting animals and
even inanimate objects to trial, sentence,
and the ban Of the Church, just as if they
were human beings.
In 1865, when the locusts laid waste
the region in question, the people were
in despair, and forthwith demanded
their expulsion. Accordingly sum-
mons calling upon the insects to appear
before the Court of the "Oticial" was
issued and proclaimed throughout the
fields around Aries. AS in due time the
locusts. who it may be presumed were
wary of justice, failed to appear, a we'll
known advocate, named Martin, was APP
pointed to plead for them 'in absentia. !"
The defense was admirable. The locusts,
said Maitre Martin, were but instruments
in the hand of God for the punishment
of those who refused to pay the tithes
due to the Church, and to lead them to
penitence and the renewed fultllmcnt of
their duty.
He submitted that the curse should
not be pronounced against the defend
ants" but that they should be regarded
as blessings in disguise, and suffered in
patience till God should remove them.
But this pious defense failed. The 10
Gusts were formally cursed and called
upon to leave the country without delay.
The record adds that notice of appeal
was given against this decision, but that
before the day of bearing arrived the To-
Gusts, probably finding their quarters no
longer safe, had flown to seek fresh
tields.-[ London Telegraph.

Cattle at the Worlds Fair.

1t is gratifying to learn, as we do from
recent announcements, that the cattle
department of the proposed Columbian
Fair at Chicago is receiving much atten-
tiou throughout the world; and it will
probably constitute the finest exhibition
of cattle ever made. The American
Jersey Cattle Club and the Holstein-
Friesian Association have each appro-
priated $40, 900 for showing their cattle.
j. F. Sarg, of >Nussdorf, Germany, who
represents the Cattle Breeders Associa-
ton of Baden, the largest breeders as
ISOLATION on the Continent, writes that
he intends to send herd of Simmenthal
cattle. These cattle come from Switzer
land and are large, the cows weighing
about / 400 pounds, and often 1000 or
1.7OO pounds, or more. They are white,
and marked with large, irregular and
sharply defined spots or bars of red. yell
low or drab color. They are nicely
shaped, have fine bone, head and skin,
and should make a good impression,
though they are probably no improve
ment to the breeds now found in Amer.

A NATURAL tanner OF BEASTS
The Queer Stories Told About g
Washington Rancher.

Among the visitors to Seattle the past
week was Peter Gallagher, rancher liv-
ing three miles from Renton. MI. Gala,
CHER is one of the pioneers Of the sound
country, and has lived on the same place
fer twenty years or more, taking Up a
quarter section as homestead from the
Government. BY years of hard toll he
has cleared up and improved splendid
place. which, though secluded from the
outside world, is model ranch of which
the owner is justly proud.
Mr.. Gallagher is not given to hunting
and does not modest wild game of any
kind, and to this may be ascrihd the
tameness of number of animals which
make the woods in that vicinity home.
One of these, black bear, has for year
visited his stock yard almost daily and
eaten with his cattle, lying down among
the calves and displaying neither fear nor
ferocity. Mr.. Gallagher goes among the
stock and frequently passes within two
or three feet of his bearship, not only in
the yard but in the woods. He pays no
attention to the bear aud the latter never
offers to modest him-ou the contrary,
eats with evident satisfaction pieces Of
bacon and other scraps from the table
that are thrown out to him. The bear
is handsome 800 pound fellow and ap-
pears to enjoy the company of the cattle,
and especially the calves.
Other pets are pair of fawns that run
around with the young stock on the
place, eating with the calves and lying
down among them as contented as
though with their own kind. They
evidently came from the vicinity of
Cedar Lake, where considerable hunting
is done and from which section game is
being driven. Mr.. Gallagher says he had
rather part with the best COW on his
place than one of the fawns, though he
never dlsturbs or attempts to touch
them. This is the second time fawns
have taken up their abode at this place,
the first pair coming there about i've
years ago and remaining with his stock
for two years, even going into the stables
and bein g locked up over night. He
gave them to neighbor, who in turn,
presented them to friends at Snohomish
and up the Skagit.
This sounds tishy, but not only is it
vouched for, but it is further said that
wild ducks and geese alight in his yard
and show no fear in his presence, though
the appearance of strangeri is the signal
for flight. Mr.. Gallagher never hunts
and will neither allow hunting on his
place nor interference in any way with
his pets, either quadrupeds or winged.

A Lucky Accident

"The small size of the steamers,
screw" says u boilermaker, sis not due
to the perception of any inventor of it's
greater effect as compared with a larger
one, but purely to accident. When I
first engaged in the machinery business.
screws for steamers were made as large,
as possible, it being the theory that tn.
greater the diameter the higher the
speed. A vessel was placed on Lake
Erie with a screw so large that it was
deemed best to cast each blade in tive.
parts and then weld. them together.
During storm ali these blades of the
propeller broke at the welding, reducing
the diameter by more than two-thirds-
To the surprise of the captain the vessel
shot forward at speed such ss had never
been attained before. Engineers then,
experimental with small proml2crs. and
discovered that they were much more
effective than large ones. Had it noa
been for that accident we might have.

the present day."

When strychnine was Discovered

Suicide, by means of strychnine, re-
calls to mind the fact connected with
the discovery of strychnine in 1918, by
the French chemists, Pelletier and Caver-
ton. They called the new poison Vau-
queline, in honor of their former master,
the eminent chemist, Vauquelin. But
old Vauquelin, having seen the terrible
sutferings Of the animals on which the
effect OF the poison was tried, begged
the TWO discoveries not to connect his
name in any way with this terrible "ncw
substance and it was then that strych-
nine received the name under which it is
now known as one of the strongest
poisons.- Pail Mall Gazette.

A BRAVE WOMAN.
The Heroism and Terrible Trials
of Mrs. Grimwood in India.

A"e aero1sm and Terrible Trials
of Mrs. Grimwood in India.
The English people are very proud of
little lady whose heroism equalled that
OF any male hero who ever wore the
medals OF honor. She is Mrs. Frank St.
Clair Grimwood, the young and pretty
wife OF the British resident at Mannipur.
Where the recent shocking massacre took
place.
She was only three years wife when
she was called upon to endure trials that
would have overcome many a more ex-
perlenced woman. A few weeks ago it
Will be remembered the natives about
Manlpur became rebellious. Three Eng
ilshmen under flag of truce went out to
Pafiey with them. Only their heads came
back to the Residency.
lnen the Europeans knew the worst
had come, and they prepared to sell their
lives as dearly as possible For several
days the handful of British defended the
holly assailed Residency. The wounded
were placed in a cellar, where they were
tended by brave Mrs. Grimwood, who
though shot through the arm, would not
give up.
AT last the ammunition began to give
out and 1t was decided to retreat. The
little band had dwindled till there were
scarcely enough to carry the wounded,
Not q man was left behind on that dark
night when the Residency was aban-
doned by the back way, and the fright
ened but brave squad plunged into the
thlcket. In the morning their flight was
discovered by the enraged besiegers,
who, taking their trail, harrassed them
day and night as they made for friend
ly territory.
Through that terrible retreat the little
| lady bore up with great bravery. Though
bullets were falling about her she never
faltered. She set out with her ordinary
house shoes. These were soon worn out
and she had to put on heavy ammu-
milton boots.
For ten days the retreat continued.
Day by day the pursued became weaker.
Then the last hope t1ickered out on the
tenth day, when it was found that the
cartridges would last only through that
day. The next they would be at the
mercy of their pursuers.
But Mrs. Grimwood chcered on the
men Her words of encouragement and
hope remained to the weary fighters and
they struggled on. During the day Col
onel Butcher, in command, gave out all
the cartridges but two-one for himself
and one for the lady, to end their lives
in case of capture.
But just as it looked as if they would
have to be used body Of friendly
Ghoorkas was met. These charged the
! Manipuri, rescued the British, and car
ried Mrs. Grimwood in triumph to their
chief city, whence she reached English
territory. Then she took off her clothes
the first time in ten days.
She speedily recovered from the ter
rible strain, and her convalescence has
been assisted by the gracious apprecia-
ton of Queen Victoria, who has given
her the Royal Red Cross. Admiring
friends in London have also presented
her with wreath of honor and are NOV
ing for q public recognition.
