wear to investigate the pest Of the water
hyacinths, which are fast blocltading
our rivers, has faith in the destructive
ness of the red spider which has been
ravaging the leaves of the plant. TO
examine more closely The work Of this
insect, says the Florida Times-Union,
he gathered plants in Lake Monroe and
placed them in ponds in his own yard.
The spider, he says, is not quite so large
as the head of pin, and is 4 new spe-
cies, according to Prof. L. o. Howard,
chief OF the chronological division of
the department of agriculture, to whom
were sent specimens. The little fellow
multiplies with exceeding great rapid
ity, weaves his web from leaf 10 leaf,
raises his numerous family and attacks

pleteIy.
Don't understand me to say" said
Prof. Weber, that the red spider will
destroy the hyacinths completely. His
work will be beneficial, and ii reen-
forced by other diseases of the plant
will no doubt open the rivers complete

ion, for the government to SEND an ex-
pert in South American rivers to inn
port all of the enemies of the hyacinth.
This, I think, will be the most effective
way in which to destroy the pest"

Bailey, of Rutland, Vt.
The largest dog in this country is the
property of Wayne Bailey, Of Rutland,
Vt. When weighed the other day he
tipped the scales at 267 pounds, says the
Chicago Times-Herald.
When the animal weighed 244 pounds
a prominent dog fancier declared him
to be the largest dog in the world. Re-
peatedly Mr.. Bailey has been urged to
put Nero on exhibition at the big dog
shows, but he has never thought it adj
visable.
Nero is a handsome half German and
half English mastiff, fawn brindle in
color, his huge head being tritle dark
er in shade. lie sits up firmly on his
legs, and is remarkably well proper
toned
He is as agile and lively on his feet
as cat, and the other day caught big
rat in his masters barn. He makes a
splendid watchdog, but is withal kind
and afrectionate animal. Mr.. Bailey
bought him at West Rutland when he
was six months old. lie is now four
years old.
At the time of his purchase Nero
weighed 1C2 pounds. The animal is 4
product of Mr.. Winchers kennels at
Fair Haven
Nero is provided with a strong leather
harness, as he cannot wear u collar.
The animal stands up from the ground

TOUCHING rALg OF a TENANT.

With pride the agent told me. as we talked
about the fat
That children were prohibited-1 might
make sure of that.
The walls of fretful babies and the yells
of husky boys,
The screaming of the children that' we
know, alas annoys;
The stamping and the rompinS and the
sounds of youthful strife
Would have no place whatever in the
lucky tenants life
I closed the deal right joyfully, and felt
I had prize.
For I was sick Of children, with their
shouts and lusty cries.
I longed for peaceful slumber when l went
to bed at night;
I longed for quiet ev'ninGS for l felt they
were my right;
I wished those calm surroundings that as
everybody knows,
Must ever be essential to life OF true re
pose.
I'm sitting in that quiet fiat while writing
these few lines,
And Just across the hall 1 hear pooale's
plaintive witness;
Two more join in at intervals, while from
the yard below
A larger dog is barking at imaginary foe;
mockingbird
Is adding to the racket that necessarily IS
heard.
The grand piano thunders out-in number
there are six
And all the airs that come from them in
dreadful dscord mix,
While through it all I plainly hear
novice with a 1use
Who fortunes me pers!stently with shrill
and squeally loot;
And as I can't escape from this, no matter
I put my hands up to my ears and petu-
lantly cry:
"Oh, give me back the children that fused
to swear about!
Oh, give me back the romping crowd and
put the dogs to rout!
Oh, give me back the babies, too, no matter
how they vail,
And notify the agent by tomorrow morn
ing's mail
He'd better bar pianos when he wants
to draw the line,
And I prefer the children to the poodle

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
Changes IN Nature IL water NevcR
Frozc Would Re Many.

Changes IN Nature II WEter Nevc2
Frozc Would Be Many.
The whole economy of nature would
undergo Il startling change if water
never froze. The worlds climates
would be revolutionized, says Pearson'a
Weekly. The icc-bound polar seac
would cease to exercise their chilling
influences, and consequently the cur
rents of the ocean might either cease
or be turned aside in different direc-
tions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek
other shores than those of Britain, and
the climate there might be subject to
the extremes Of heat and cold noticeable
in other countries OF the same latitude.
The ice-bound rivers of the north, no
tally those of Russia ard Siberia,
would be open for navigation, and Rus
sia's activity as a sea power and q
commercial nation might alter the
whole world of commerce.
Canada would become another coun-
try altogether. An immense tract Of
land would be available for cultiyating
hardy plants, and Greenland might be
what its name indicates. The absence
of icebergs off the coast of Newfound-
land and Iceland would result in a
much warmer climate in those islands
where now the crops often fail.
Ice, too, plays an important part in
the economy of nature. Thus, if water
never froze, snow, hail and hear frost
would cease. The loosening of soils
and the disintegrating of rocks by the
frost, and many other now vital eff
fects would be lost. In shor:, the alb
sence of ice would be on the one hand
an incalculable disaster, on the other
hand great boon.

The Champion in TrugaIity,

Guy, the founder of Guys hospital in
London, was as parsimonious in private
life as he was munifccnt in public. A
good story illustrative of this is told Of
him in connection with John Hopkins,
one of his contemporaries, who was
niclmamed Vulture Hopkins on oc-
count of his rapacious mode of acquir-
ing his immense wealth. On enc occa-
sion he paid visit to Guy, who, on
Hopkins entering the room, lighted a
farthing candle. Hopkins, on being
asked the object of his visit, said: Il
have been told that you, sir, are better
versed in the prudent and necessary art
Of saving than any man living, and !
therefore wait on you for lesson in
frugality. I have always regarded my
self as an adept in this matter, but J.
am told you excel me-" Oh" replied
Guy, of that is all you came to talk
about, we can discuss the matter in
the dark" and thereupon he blew out
the candle. Struck with this example
Of economy, Hopkins acknowledged
that he had met his superior il thrift,

Food That Makes Brains.

According to celebrated health ex-
pert blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food, and the
man who wishes to keep his brain power
up would do well to include them in his
daily bill of fare. Juicy fruits give
more or less the higher nerve or brain,
and are eaten by all men whose living
depends on their clear-headedness. APP
piles supply the brain with rest. Prunes
afford proof against nervousness, but
are not muscle feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from the
liver. Butith has been proved that fruits
do not have the same effect upon every
body. Some men have never been able
ito eat apples without suffering the
agony of Indigestion; to others, straw
berries are like nnicnn-
