AN UNREASONABLE ANTAGONIST TO

There ls a feeling. know. in certain quarters

way to do this is by publicity. II have noticed in

Ackerly. that many wheelmon seem to think that
the cycle path laws and onactments are direct
slap at their rights as citizens. Why, one veteran
rider told me that when he was forced 70 purchase
a cycle path tag for his wheel he felt he was be-
ing held up Now, this is all 2 mistake. and as
soon as the wheeimen in the country understand
the cycle path question clearly there Will be- no
more such talk The cost of the sldepa'h tag varies
from % cents to 81. and q tag purchased in one
county is good I'm all counties. Monroe County has
a special path law. but the county has agreed To-
recognize the tags issued iu other counties Now
those people who are protesting against the cycle
path law do not understand that all oi the money
that Is paid in for tags goes into the hands o,
Sidepath Commissioners who not only serve With

of his door. His big gray sombrero

audience. so he sent the kid out to
drum one up. He got what he wanted,
but it wasn't very sympathetic one.
Men don't go much on gush out there,

TRAVELS OF AN INSECT,
A Troublesome South American Natives
Steady Progress Round the World.

The jigger one of the insect pests of
the West Indies and South America,
has at last crossed equatorial Africa
from the Atlantic to Zanzibar, about
200 miles, &c years after its introduce
ton into the continent. This variety
of the flea, much smaller than the COM
mon flea, is very troublesome. and if
its attacks upon a few animals, includ-
ing man, are not prevented, it is some
times fatal to life. The fact that its
gradual advance among the natives of
Africa threw them into CONSERVATION,
often causing the abandonment of viii
lagos and districts. has made it easy
to trace its progress step by step, and a
brief summary of its journey across
Africa will be interesting as striking
illustration of insect navigation.
A sailing vessel arrived at Ambriz,
Angola, in September. 1872. from Bra
Zil with sand ballast, which she dump
ed on the beach. The digger had crossed
the ocean in this sand and its prOpen-
Sity for boring through the skin and
lodging between the crutcle and the
flesh soon made its presence known.
There are effective means of preventing
its attacks, but before the natives
learned how to deal with it the little
pest caused great suffering. 1t was long
ago evident that the jigger was not

any large extent in its journey through

had been great gun-fighter in his time

Squeamishness isn't a common fault

Now no one ever thought that Old

man on earth who would be thought
likely to want the center of the stage
