Here is q curious little story told by
an English solicitor. He had among
his clients a few years ago a notorious.
company promoter, whose inancia,
Affairs came to grief. One day, hap
pening to pass by q s%tationer's shop,
his attention wns attracted by q por.
strstt OF Mr.. -, the we'll known bar.
rister. MIR. 49, was attired In u wig
and gown AMI in his hand he held q
paper on which the solicitors sharp
eyes caught the name OF his client. His
curiosity aroused, he purchased the
photograph and proceeded to decipher
the words of Mr.. IS brief, speedily
discovering that they indicated that q
warrant was ''out" for the arrest Of his
client In . few hours the man OF
finance was out OF England, to which
country he has not aimee returned.
The fear that the wrecking company
charged with the work of saving the
Kearsarge will find little of value at
Roncador is based upon the known
character Of the inhabitants in those
parts. Old Providence is only about
400 miles from Roncador and the peo-
lple there are expert sailors aud exper-
denced wreckers. Roncador has
brought them many q gift and they are
moi likely to have any sentimental
seruples touching the conqueror Of the
Alabama. The history of wrecking on
koms Of our own dangerous coasts
leaves us small room to reproach Old
Providence. Every such danger point
has its cruel traditions Of barbarities
committed before the life saving ser.
vice had policed the whole coa,t line.
The red bug Of Florida is q neal
%equiyalen. Of thechigre hat intests
blackberry patches in New York state
and further south. The red bug is al
most invisible to the naked eye, but he
appeals strongly TO at least one other
enss, After q traveller has slept in q
region where these insects abound, he
rises next morning with an almost in:
tolerable itching, and red Jumps begin
TO appear I'LL over his body. The red
bug has burrowed into the flesh and
doubtless deposited eggs In the burrow.
The humps and the itching stay with
the victim for the better part of q week
and marks of the red bugs ravages are
carried for nearly a month.
Ono element OF difficulty In bringing
Spanish American offenders against
the lava to justice IN our territories de-
rived from Mexico is the ties Ct race
and kinshtp. An atrocious criminal OF
Mexican blood nay be protected
through years of q lawless career by
relatives and family friends who them
sslves are eminently respectable and,
except where the safety OF friends OF
kindred are concerned, law abiding
Tho protection is continued after the
criminal has been brought into thu
courts, in the way of brihing and pack
ing OF juries and in the providing o
avenues OF escape from prison.
No country contributes SO many i'm,
migrants to the United States in pro,
portion to population as Norway. 1t is
chiefly the rural Morse that come to
America, and the immigrants ARE for
the most part under 80 years of age.
Tho Morse are good farmers and thrifty
citizens. They, as we'll as their neigh.
bors. the Swedes, have q strong desire

mont citizens Of the United States.
Most Of those who come are Of marked
peasant type.
