safe, but it is more likely intended to
prepare the British public for a terrible

Perhaps the plague in Paraguay Is
merely an attack of pigue. or sand flea.
This insect Is called nigua in the native
language. In 1870 it killed whole

200 families. turning the colony, which
was at 1tape, into a cemetery. A Ger
man colony at Acegua was driven out
The pigue causes buboes and attacks
the warmest parts Of the body-that is,
the cavities and the groin and armpit-
just the same spots as the eastern
plague. 1t attacks Englishmen and
Germans preferentially and avoids
those that use but little soap. Soaps
clean the body, and the pigue likes
clean persons to eat. 1t also avoids
people who eat more or less poisonous
food. "A man saturated with alcohols,

Governors Island.

There is a large expanse of rolling
sward on Governors island kept at all
times in the pink OF condition. This
little island off Battery park is con-
coded to be the best kept army post on
the Atlantic coast. There are two
reasons for this. Fort Columbus Is the
headquarters of the department Of the
east. It must assume an appearance
in keeping with it's high standing in
the department.
It also has military prison, and the
convicts sent there for terms of months
or years are sentenced to hard labor.
Under the supervision of sentinels
these men keep the walks and prone
nades scrupulously clean and the
sward closely clipped and free from
falling leaves and other litter. They
also give proper attention to the vari-
Gus buildings and their immediate sur
roundings.-NewY York Press.

! LONDON, Jan. 11.-During the inter-
Jude of apparent military inactivity
and Official secrecy Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener have arrived at the
seat Of war. It is assumed that their
clear vision, supported by 10000 fresh
men who are due to arrive in South
Africa within 30 days, will alter the
situation and the fourth month OF the
campaign will witness the beginning of
victories for the British arms. They
are not, however, expected to produce
definite results for some days. but their
mere presence will restore the shaken
confidence of the men at the front in
their generals.
Lord Roberts finds 10000 men on
the defensive or watching for an OPEN

Applause and Criticism.

1t was after the piano recital, and the
audience was still applauding. There
were two English women, though, who
did not clap their hands. But they
commented in tones that were audible
for some distance around thus:
