Caterpillars and Snails Stop Trains.

A train in Russian Turkesta was
recently stopped by cater pillars.
Near Kiew an army of these ere atures
was crossing the track, making a bee
inc for the nearest gardens, where it
was their intention to have n good
lime stripping the young vegetables of
their leaves. When the train struck
the mass the wheels crushed them into
paste; but before it had made much
progress they began to slip in the
greasy stuff and the train came to a
standstill. Another locomotive had
to be sent for to get the cars away
from the slaughtered innocents. Mean
while, it SIS said that the uninjured
oaterpillars stood up by the side of
the track and made faces at the engi-
neer. 1t will be remembered that
some Western trains in this country
had similar experience with grass
hoppers during the last plague of these
insects.
In Algeria they have to keep sharp
lookout for snails, for the same rea-
son. Only a short time ago, on the
line from Sioux to Arba- -Bizerte, a
train was detained forty minutes by
these creatures, which had come out
in myriads during a rainy period, just
preceding, and literally covered the
track. This accident probably could
happen nowhere but in Northern
Africa, where snsils are so abundant
that they often constitute as serious a
plague as do the locusts. They climb
the trees and shrubs by thousands,
crawl out on the smallest twigs and
hang therefrom like punches of grapes.
1t is not known whether they are of
the edible variety; if so, the Algerians
should not want for delicate food dur.

No other evil existing among us threatens
so boldly the peace prosperity, happiness and
moral and religious welfare OF our people as
the evil of excessive drinking No other
social evil dlsturbs the family relation and
renders the domestic life of men. women and
children so inhuman and hopeless as the evil
OF excessive and habituai indulgence in
strong drink. Intemperance unfts husband
and wife for the duties Of parentage. the
most sacred and solemn in the entire cata-
logue OF human obligations. IL DESTROYS
the sense of decency and honor. silences CON
science and deadens the best instincts of the
human heart. There is no bright side
to the picture of strong drink in the home.
This hideous and brutalizing vice cannot be
condemned too severely and those who have
experienced much suffering from its in
huence may be pardoned II they are unspar-
ing against every effort that tends to widen
the way for the spread OF habitual drinking
among us.-Archbishop Ireland.

In the evolution of Japan, China
and Korea, war has been the most inn
portant factor. The three started
with about the same bravery, the same
military skill and the same love of
conquest. Their annals disclose OK
hibition OF wonderful courage, of
noble heroism in defeat and mag
nanimity in triumph. Each has had
its ups and downs, yet at the present
time they are so different as to Justify
cause for surprise, writes Marghorita
Arlina Hamm under the caption "Tho
Mongol Triad" in the Overland
Monthly.
"The Chinese are as brave as can
be, but their bravery is cold and fan
tastic. They have no love of nation
ality, no love of war and no love of
life.
"Very different are the Japanese.
They love life aud gayety, war and
fatherland. They have superstitions,
but while believing in them, laugh at
them as if capital jokes. They are as
brave as tiger cats. When the Ameri-

The third type, that of the citizen
of the Land of the Morning Calm, is
inferior to the other two. Il is diff
cult to describe and more difficult TO
understand. Physically the Korean
is strong and healthy nevertheless,
he shirks his work if employed and
does boys task if his own master.
He has, times numberless, displayed
great valor, yet nine times out of ten
his conduct is savage, cruel and
cowardly. On the coast he wrecks
ships, loots the cargo and massacres
the crew. Inland he robs the traveller
and any one else he can lay hands on"

We are at present developing a race Of

nearly one-half the adult people In the

The tribes of Powhatan, as found by
John Smith, we're farmers and fishers,
dwelling in fixed habitations. They
relies mainly for their support upon
agriculture, their most important crop
being corn. From the marshes they
obtained wild rice and "tuckaho," the
tubers of the latter being used for
making bread. They took fish in nets
woven of vegetable fibre or in weirs
made of twisted stalks of weeds. Their
fsh-hooks were Of bone, but they
knew how to shoot fish with arrows
Their canoes, followed out of logs,
were sometimes fifty feet long and
capable of carrying forty men.
Their houses were from thirty-fve
to fifty feet long, covered with bark
or mats. The fire, produced by twirl-
ing pointed stick in a hole in II block
OF wood, was in the centre of the cab.
in, around the sides of which was n
low platform, covered with mats or
skins, on which the inmates sat or lay.
Outside the door was huge mortar,
dug out of log, for grinding corn.
The summer diess of adults was
breech-cloth or short apron. To this
was added in winter mantel of deer
skin or of turkey-feathers The wo-
men and children did all the work,
while the men ate, slept, or danced,
when not engaged in the chase or in
war. AS soon as their corn was gathered
N the fall, they went up into the hill
country to hunt. This brought them
into collision with other tribes and
gave rise to constant wars.
A small remnant of the once-power.
full confedracy of Powhatan exists to-
day about twenty miles from Rich
mond, Va. The people composing
this last remaining fragment of a great
nation call themselves Pamunkey.
They dwell on reservation of 500
Rcrss known as "Indiantown." They
get their living in true aboriginal
style by hunting and fishing. Farm
ing they do on a small scale, though
they do not like it, and often hire
colored people TO attend TO their
truck-patches. They are very proud.
All of them are Baptists, the whole
aumber of individuals being about 110.
They are not taxed, but pay an an
nual tribute by presenting to the
Governor of Virginia number of wild
iucks or other game. New York Post.

THE EFFEcr on HEALTH.

1t is not unusual for dissectors in medical
colleges to find the liver greatly enlarged
(congested) in subjects who perish from hab-
itual use OF liquor. In such cases sometimes
the liver is found to weigh fifteen or twenty
pounds. In healthy state the liver weighs
only three or foGr pounds. Again, the con-
dition OF the blood becomes impure from the
action of alcohol, and thereby causes direct
tendency towards disease Of the lungs. Have
you ever noticed the fetid breath Of drunk
ard? And when the functions Of the lungs In
purifying the blood are impaired by disease.
the blood becomes still more impure and still
less able to supply the lungs with nourish-
ment.
Physicians find that pneumonia, or in
nammation OF the lungs, IS nearly incurable
and most frequently fatal in those who have
been addicted to alcoholic drinks
From impurity Of the blood slight wounds
prove serious, tester, mortify, and often
prove fatal. Sir Ashley Cooper. NJ D., re-
lates the case Of a powerful. healthy-looking
drayman, who had suffered an injury in his
finger from a small splinter.
The wound appeared OF trifiing nature
but he died from it. Speaking of the danger

VINO habitually use liquor, DR.. Edwards says
they can never undergo the most trifiing
operation with the security of the temperate

years, at 80 is 96.5 years, etc., while an in

For some years past there has been an in
clination to give up the use Of whisky aud
other strong alcoholic drinks and TO use beer
and other compounds as substitutes. This Is
evidently founded ON the idea that beer is
not harmful and cOntaiains large amount
OF nutriment; also that bitters may have GER
tain medical properties which will neutral
ize the alcohol it eonceals. These theories
are not confrme1 by the observations OF
physicians and chemists in cases where
either Of these substitutes had been used for
length Of time.

AN oLD-T1ME LIQUOR BILL.

For the benefit of those who sometimes as
sert that no progress is made in the temper
ance reform, we clip the following EXCERPT
from the Bostonian. In speaking of the ex-
penses of funerals, the author says:
"The bill for liquor consumed was some
tunes greater than the cost of the burial it
self. As sample OF the proportion this
item bore to the general expenses, l quote
the funeral bill Of man who was drowned
in 1878:
By pint Of liquor for those who dived for
him, shilling
By quart for those who brought him home,
shillings
By two quarts Of wine and one gallon of cider
Tor the jury, 8 shillings.
By eight gallons and three quarts of wine for
the funeral, fl, Is shillings.
By one barrel of cider for friends. l6shillings.
By one CONN, ~ shillings.
By one WINDING sheet is shillings
By which it appears that the liquor bill al
the funeral was just about double the other
expenses.

The Power Inside a Plann

The general notion of what happens
in the interior of the piano when the
hnger presses key may be conveyed
in the simplest terms. Would YOU
believe that the power developed when
the strings of your piano are tuned to
the proper pitch equals energy suffi-
cient to..raise twelve tons one foot from
the ground? If it has ever been your
misfortune to be present when the
string frame of q piano was fractured,
the above statement will require no
confirmation. A thunderbolt scarce
ly makes greater uproar, an earth
quake causes little more destruction.
The writer happened TO be playing on
one occasion, with what, in his con-
ceit, he imagined to be great effect.
he felt he was being admired by the
men and worshiped by the women,
when, as he br ought his fingers down
for magnificent finale, he instantly
found himself upon the floor with the
piano stool on his stomach, while the
piano itself presented awreck of keys,
lids, mechanism, and serpent-like
wires. Struggling to his feet, dazed,
his suffering questions as to what in
the name Of all the gods and demons
had happened, were answered by fin
ger pointing to the ruins of what had
once been very fine parlor-square. -

A man was once sitting in a saloon. He
had an old battered hat on his head, short
black pipe in his mouth. dirty shirt and
ragged clothes and downtrodden shoes on.
But he had not always been like that he had
seen better days once. As he looked out OF
the saloon door he saw two tidy, clean little
children come for their fathers beer. As soon
as they were outside the door the little girl
took drink from the jug, while her little
brother waited patiently for his turn. The
poor drunkard looked at them very sadly.

other equally injurious drug having tendency

easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
