A rerru,neu Climate.

The little seaside town Of Hyeres, near
Toulon, France, is fast becoming one of
.thasWoat popular health resorts of the
yoyeoE1 1M6ufterMuean. The vicinity or
the Hyeres archipelago, with their sea-
cliffs and shell -banks, and the prospect
toward the cloud castles of the Maritime
Alps attract hundreds Of visitors, but the
chief charm of the locality consists in tho
extensive flower plantations that surround
the old burgh with zone of beauty and
fragrance. Thousands of acres are COW
cred with jessamine bushes, thousands
with girasoles C'heliotrope'') aud roses,
destined for the essence factories OF

atmosphere with perfume plainly per-
ceptible at Cape Carnes, twenty miles
east, whenever the night wind comes
from the direction of the flower hills.

be some mistake about the popular theory
connecting our summer catarrhs with
the effiuvia of Towering plants. On the

guests pay premium for cottages in tho

supposed to be behind the enterprise.
Between one and two million dollars will
be required, and the working capital be
st,000,0 900. Options have been secured
on mills at New Orleans, Savannah,
Charleston and Wilmington. The only
announcement made when options were
asked for was that the syndicate propos-
ed to buy all the mills in the country and
put in what is known as dutch milling
machinery, which is the kind used in
India The agent of the syndicate says
the new process will be cheaper than the
old to the planter and the rice will be
lowered so much that importers of for
eign rice will not be able to undersell

The Man-Faced Crab.

One of the most singular looking
cr"e.yss or s.sws,, tbst eyer walked the earth
tho world-famous man-faced crah Of
japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head is fitted with face
which is the perfect counterpart of that
a Chinese coolie; a veritable missing link,
with eyes, nose and mouth all clearly de-
fine. This curious and uncanny crea-
ture, besides the great likeness it bears
to human being in the matter of facial
features,is provided with two legs, which
seem to grow from the Top of its head
and hang down over the sides of its face.
Besides these legs, two "feelers," each
about an inch in length, grow from the
"chin' of the animal, looking for all the
world like a Colonels forked beard.
These man faced crabs fairly swarm in
the inland seas of Japan.-St. Louis Re.
