AT WE FLEAs, MERoY.
West Earl Townships Afflicted Will
Seek the Board Of Agriculture.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
Lancaster, Pa, May l4.-Reports from
West Earl township, where the mysteri-
Gus flea pest exists, are to the effect that
almost panic prevails among the people,
while a feeling of great uneasiness is ap.
parent among the residents of the adj
Joining townships The pest is known to
have taken possession of over twenty
residences and others in the same
locality are suspected, but the owners
naturally deny the existence. AS
thus far they have been scattered
by the contact of infected people
with their neighbors, the people are nat
urally suspicious of each other, and close
intercourse is not encouraged even among
the most intimate Of friends. The mys-
FERROUS bug is a species Of flea possessing
all its nimble characteristics. IL is
black, striped on the back with brown,
and has the general appearance of the cat
bug. It's powers of reproduction are
wonderful and in several days after be-
ing introduced into a house the insects
have increased into countless Swarms and
have full possession. They are very de-
structiVe to clothing, and wooden articles
of ELL description, and have the faculty of
going through books like the veritable
book worm. Thus far the afflicted families
have been fighting the plague with
quantities in the house, but the fumes
have little or no effect on the insects,
which are as lively afterward as before.
The people of the neighborhood are
greatly disappointed at the statement of
DR. Davis, president of the board Of
health, that the board has no authority
or Jurisdiction in the matter, it apparently
not being, at least as yet, a matter Affect
ing the public health. DIR. Davis thinks
it comes directly within the province Of
the state board of agriculture, who have
at their command the services Of an ento-
mologist, and an appeal will be made this
week to Secretary Edge.
1t is not a matter that admits of any
delay, as with the best of precautions the
pests may spread to adjoining districts
and do enormous damage. AS evidencing
the alarm Of the people, the residents Of
Farmersville have issued a notice, deny
ing that the plague exists in their locality
and saying that, if any Of the known in
fected people should offer TO enter the
business places of their village, they
would be refused admission.
Most Of the people afflicted are living in
tents or outbuildings, away from the in
fected buildings, while they are pursuing
their efforts to eradicate the bugs. The
afflicted people are among the best in
the county noted for their careful and
clearly habits, and the present remarka-
bic visitation can in no wise be ascribed
to any lack Of care on their part.

The Discovery Of Coneo.

Toward the middle of the fifteenth cen
fury a poor Arab was travelling in Abys.
sinia. Finding himself weak and weary he
stopped near q grove. Being in want OF
fuel to cook his rice he cut down a tree,
which happened to be covered with dried
berries. His meal being cooked and eaten,
the traveller discovered hat these hall
burned berries were fragrant. He collected
a number, and on crushing them with a
stone he found the aroma increased to u
great extent.
While wondering at this, he accidentally
let the substance fall into a can which con.
tanned his scanty supply of water. Lo
what u miracle! The almost putrid liquid
was partially purified. He raised it to his
lips. 1t was fresh and agreeable, and after Il
short rest the traveller SO far recovered his
strength and energy as to be able to resume
his journey.
Tho lucky Arab gathered M many berries
as he could, and having arrived at Alden in
Arabia he informed the mutt Of his discov.
cry. That worthy was An inveterate opium
smoker, who had been suffering for years
from the influence of the poisonous drug.
He tried an infusion Of tho roasted berries
and was so delighted at the recovery OF his
former vigor that in gratitude to the tree
he called 1t cainuha, which in Arabic signi'

. HI WEDDING DAY.

Secret marriages are in every country in
Europe considered illegal.
The Greek church employs two rings in
the marriage ceremony-one Of gold, the
other of silver.
A hundred years ago, when the bride had
q fortune, the newspapers stated that fact
and gave also the amount.
In Samoa the bride wears a wreath Of
flowers, a dress of cocoa mating, and has
her face colored with turmeric.
Wedding rings engraved with the device
of a heart and two clasped hands have been
found in Egyptian tombs dating 3. G. 1000.
In most churches of England a ring is
kept SO that embarrassment may be spared
in case Of forgetfulness Of the parties con-
cerned
cloth,' a canopy held over the virgin bride
by our Saxon forefathers to conceal her en-
barrassment.
The white ribbons and favors used at
! weddings" today are emblematic of the time
when the BRIDES garters were cut up into
bits and distributed among the young men
and women present for good luck.
In one country district of Germany pay
weddings" were in vogue as late as the pres
ent century, each guest paying for his en-
tertainment as much as he would at ar
inn, the receipts going to set up the happy
pair in their new home.
At the wedding of George III q stout,
noble duchess, whose name Is not given,
had the dreadful misfortune to sneeze dur
ing the ceremony and thereby burst her
stays. A shawl was thrown over her, and
she was taken to the vestry for REPAIRS
