THE eROwN-TAIL MOTH.
A Poisonous Pest Of Massachusetts
Tcrns.

Poisonous Pest Of Massachusetts
Towns.
Many residents of Somerville have
been afflicted recently with n strange
disease, which bafiled the physicians,
and for which no one could offer an en-
PLANTATION, says the Boston Transcript.
They seemed to Lave been, victims of
ivy poisoning, the hands ard arms red
dening ard swelling, but they had not
touched any ivy. 1t is now definitely
known that the trouble all came from
the presence of that new pest, the
brown-tail moth.
This discovery was made by the en-
ploycs OF the gypsy moth committee,
who, to their sorrow, have found that to
touch q brown tail moth is equiva-
lent to taking a dose of poison. When
the employees of the committee began
their annual work of turning burlaps
to see how many pupa had Sc
GREETED themselves Hereunder, the?
found in the places contiguous
to Somerville a number Of pupa
of the brown-tailed moth. Grown
careless by the innocent nature of the
ocneria dispar, they plucked them of
ard destroyed them. Then the trouble
began, and loud are the complaints of
the men with poisoned hands and arms.
The moths are now handled gingerly.
The center of the gypsy moth resti-
lence has moved from the Malden-Nred-
ford district, where it originally devcl-
oped, to the Saugus woods. It is esti-
mated that the committee men are
slaughtering 100000 daily.

An ALIeI OFFICE.
A c1Eaous IAstitution OIenea Up In
~ Paris.

4 Curious IAstit1tion> Opened UD IN
F.. H. Paris. "a
Novel ideas are being put into prac-
tice every day, and if rumor is to be be-
lieyed the latest thing in original con-
ceptions has assumed the form Of All
alibi Office. What is an alibi office the
bewildered reader may be inclined to
ask, says a Paris correspondent Of the
London Telegraph. Well, in this par
ticular case 1T is an establishment
which undertakes to post letters from
any and every, corner of the world. 1t
is, in fact, sort of philanthropic insti-
tuition, devised for the benefit of per-
sons who, while remaining quietly ut
home in a sort of incognito condition,
can make believe that they are on a
long tour: Thus is human vanity salts
fed, and thus are the expenses of
regular journey saved. A man takes
leave of his friends at the close of the
season, with the announcement that his
recreation will assume the form, for in
stance, of a, run through Spain and
Portugal; and at regular intervals fol-
low letters from Madrid, Seville, Lis
bon, Oporto, and so ON, dulv slammed
and postmarl1ed. The alleged promot-
ers of the enterprise are represented as
arguing that after all this pleases some
people who do not care for the trouble
and fatigue of travelling, but are eager
to enjoy the prestige with which n
grand tour will, as they fancy, invest
them in the eyes of their friends. After
all, this NAV be mere report, for the
office is described as being a very dis
Greet institution, having no outward
and visible sign of existence.

THE COST OF. IT.

HUNTSVILLE TRIBUNE. ~ ~
The present constitution of, Alabama
has cost this state by retarding progress
and enforcing stingy, non-progressive
government, a government which re-
PEELED capital and labor, more money
than the state of Alabama would sell
for If put up for the highest bidder The
ina bility of our state under its consti-
tutional tax restrictions to educate the
people, so they would know something,
to build schools and show the outside
world the home-seelxers4 that we. had
some progress, some civilization. in our
state, alone has cost millions. By nurs-
ing non-progress, we have repealed thous-
ands of home-seekerSs and driven back
millions of capital which would have To-
Gated among us. 1t should be noted that
we as whole are not very far from a
semi-barbaric condition, that our ignor-
ance is the second greatest in the United
States, and that 70 thc ten years between
1880 and 1890 Alabama was the only state
where ignorance craw1edaup from So to
"a par cent This, the reader can see, is
a bad comparative showing for state
which boasts of its wealth., progress and
civilization. Indeed our state is as conn
pared with the great progressive COM
monwealths Of the United States as nom
progressive, ignorant as lSpain's COM
pared to other nations. Still some 2x4
fool will rise up and say constitution
will cost the state $4,000, hence for that
reason we Should not nave one. IN re-
Spouse to this piece of gratuitous folly
thousand little fools who have been
rearsd In ignorance and kept in ignor-
ance by a non-progressfve state, state
whose progress is Handicapped by a con-
stitution, clap their little hands gleefully
and say, no, we can't afford constitu-
tional change. This class of editors and
lBuM MouY o. u5nou9 Ssuss 1.usABq eIdoed
is the matter with them. Unfortunately
for Alabama the fools are largely in the
majority, and are, as our constitution
shows, controlling our state. We even

ought to have more dehcacy opposing SO

mental law. 1900
