PLAGUE OF RATS AND MICE,
Russian Provinces Overrun with the Pests
and Crops Destroyed.

anu drops destroyed
Such a plague as civilized man never
experienced has, during the past two
years and half, afflicted the people of
certain provinces of Russia. 1t is a
plague of rats and mice. 1t has caused
tremendous damage TO property, and, in
some instances, endangered the lives
Of the people. So abnormal has beeh
the increase of the pestiferous rodents
in certain localities in the AGRICULTURAL
districts that the afflicted provinces
have literally been swept clean of grain
in both field and granary. Having de-
stroyed the crops, the little animals.
have invaded dwelling houses, and, Inv
scores of cases, ruined them as places,
of abode. Heroic measures were adopted.
by the inhabitants to rid themselves OF
the plague. Colonies of cats and terrier
dogs were imported into the districts.
but after little while neither the cats
nor the dogs would pay the slightest
attention to the rodents. The govern
nent was then appealed to by the suf-
fering people and recourse was had to
scientific means of Kidding the country
of the mice. Eminent bacteriologists
were employed by the government to de-
wise plans to inoculate the rodents with
infectious disease, and so successful
were they that the rats and mice died
by the million. By this means the
plague was practically stamped ONT
early last summer.
The numerous stories related by Con-
sui Heenan of how and why, in the
opinion of the people, the army of ro-
dents swarmed over the fields, country
houses and village dwellings. the in
difference to their presence shown by
both cats and dogs. and the absolute re-
fusal of the cats and dogs TO modest the
rodents, would form a chapter more
sentimental perhaps than instructive.
The peasantry believe that the mice un-
dertake extensive migrations en- masse
under foreboding of impending failure
of crops in those localities where the
mice originated.
Consul Heenan says that millions Of
the animals were drowned in the wells
and rivers, and that, therefore, the pop
ulation of the afflicted localities was
obliged to discontinue the use of water
from the wells and to abstain from fish,
particularly pike, as food, because it
was discovered that they contained
mice.-Cleveland Leader.

SMALLEY ON THE ENGLISH.
Their Social Life Discussed by the Noted
Correspondent 10 Yale Students.

George w. Smalley, the noted foreign
correspondent, recently spoke under
the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa So
ciety at Yale on the subject, Social
Life in England" The lecture was de-
livered at New Haven for the first time,
and was very instructive of the charac-
teristics of society life in England. Mr..
Smalley was introduced by Prof. Ed
ward j. Phelps, of Yale, eX-minister to
England. Mr.. Smalley admitted in his
predatory remarks that there was much
paltry and ignoble in London society.
but he confined his description to the
bright side of English social life. Mr..
Smalley declared that not wealth, fame,
honor, nor even rank alone, gave po-
that many of the titled personages OF
the realm were outside the gates OF
what is known as society. He said that
position in society in England was OBJ
tanned and held only by a combination
of leading traits of mind and character.
Mr.. Smalley interspersed his talk with
vast number of pertinent anecdotes
illustrating the different phases of Lon,
don society life. He spoke of the mani
fest regard for the company of others
by the members of London society, and
declared that Mr.. Gladstone was the
only person in the last half century
who had ever been able to ignore this
rule without paying the penalty. He
enumerated many of Gladstone's char
acteristics, showing him to be arbitrary
at all times in society. In concluding,
Mr.. Smalley called the English "thc
greatest of actual races and said that
we had much to learn from them, they
from us and the world from both.-Troy

HER BLUE RIBBON.
How q Little Three-Year-Old Explained
What 1t Meant.

A little girl of three, the youngest in
a family, was recently rescued in mis-
sion attached to church of the late DR..
Crosby. They all tied on the blue rib
bon, and worked with and for the re-
deemed husband and father. 1t hap
pened one day in a public conveyance
that this bit of color on the little tot
caught the eye of a distinguished
clergyman who oficiates in aneighbor-
ing church. Bending his small form to
her small capacity, he said, kindly:
Can my little girl tell me why she
wears this piece of blue ribbon?" yes,
sir" replied the child, looking up into
his face with artless assurance; that
means not to drink any beer We don't
any of us drink beer at our house now.
And since papa has stopped drinking
beer he gets us all nice clothes, and he's

man would rive the little children of his
own missions the privilege of learning
such things from books and oral teach
ing, and forstall the teachings Of the

noted eastern lecturer says that
the most surprising compliment she
ever received was at the close of lee
ture she gave in town in Idaho. The
hall in which she lectured was crowded,
and she noticed in the audience an

her and listened with open mouth to
every word she said.
He came up to the platform at the
close of the lecture and said, heartily,
while he grasped her hand until she

TEMPERANCE.
AN EASTER REFORM.
How Little Carroll Brought Conviction t.
Her Drunken Fathers Heart.

How Little Carroll Brought Conviction to
Her Drunken Fathers Heart.
1t was Easter day some years ago. A
city church was beautifully decorated
with sweet flowers and fragrant vines
for the occasion.
The lovely service was well on the way
when a little girl stole in silently, and
half fearfully seated herself on bench
just within the doorway. At first she
looked around apprehensively, wonder
ing if anyone would send her out. She
was small, thin, and exceedingly pale,
but there was something interesting
in her tear-stained face. The soul was
shining through her big blue eyes as she
listened to the jubilant song of the
white-robed choir boys.
The birds sang too as if they would
split their little Threats, and the listen
ing child, with her soul in her eyes,
fancied they, too, sang:
HE is risen!
He is risen!'
The little face grew radiant. For
brief, happy moment Carroll, the little
daughter of drunkard, believed that
"Gladness filled the world to-day" She
had forgotten that she was hungry and
that wretchedness was her portion in
this world
But stir in the large assembly re-
called her wandering thoughts from
Heaven to earth; she remembered, with
a twinge of pain that she was only little

The service was closing. She must
slip out as she had come in, unnoticed.
She went out softly, and hurried along
the board walk so as Ito be out of sight"
she told herself, before the silks and
the satins and the velvets come" just
as she was about to disappear into a
narrow alleyway, she picked up a rose
from the sidewalk, and a smile bright
ened her face again.
'Oh," she thought gladly and CRATE
fully, Pm so happy found 1.-THE dear
