A Weeping People.

Down in the Bay Of Bengal, between
Hiudostan,On the west and East India
on the east. lie the Andaman Islands,
and there lives a race Of people who are
the suangest and lowest in order of
civilization in the world. He wears
very lit le clothing, but plasters himself
with a red mud. When one Of them
dies, the body Is at once buried and
then the entire tribe moves away from
the spot to a distance of dozen miles,
no one approaching the grave for a
month or more.
But the oldest trait the AnddmanneI
has Is that Of crying. Every body
cries 20 you ask; Of course; but these
queer people oil cry together, men,
women, boys and girls, actually shed
tears together; sometimes for three
whole days They cry not only 70!
grieI. but for joy. When two friendly
tribes long separated meet, the crying
begins aud for many hours there Il
wailing and evident sorrow. Fancy q
whole people all in tears at once. Aftel
the tears are all finished then dancing
and festivities begin, and the meeting
is celebrated as one would think i
should have been I'm the first place
The Andamauner is a. careful Of hi
mud toilet as a Paris woman Of he
silks aud ribbons, and does not cOnside
himself fit to be seen until he has com
pleted il; though we would hardly con
slider him fit afterward, covered will

CENTURY OLD AND WORKING.
Wonders What Will Happen to Him
When He Gets Old.

The new superintendent of streets al
Calais, Me-, has just reappointed Patrick
Meyers, who will be 105 years old next
june to his old place as custodian of the
city sidewalks a post which he has held
for 81 consecutive years. In 1864, when
substitutes were getting from $500 to
81, 900 to go to the war; and national and
state bounties made the total sum up to
$1,000 to $500, Meyers enlisted, and
having passed a successful examination
as to his physical abilities, was rejected
on account of his age, being 6S years old
at that time. 1T was discouraging to
me- said Meyers, in speaking of the
matter last week. 81 was a poor man.
and the bounty money would have bought
me fine home, which should have en-
joyed after serving out my time in the

The old man lives in a small house, which
he has bought and paid for cut of his
earnings at $l.50 a day His widowed
daughter acts as housekeeper for him.
Report says he has tidy sum in the local
savings bank. His body is bent from
hard work and be limps at times when
the rheumatism gets into his legs, but his
general health is still good. He eats his
three meals day and sleeps ten hours
every night. He has smoked two 10-cent
plugs Of tobacco week for the past 94
years, never any more nor any less Years
ago he took a glass of whiskey when he
felt that he needed it, but was never ad-
dicted TO the habit. Since he has passed
his hundredth birthday he has frequently
regretted that he was not permitted to
enter the army. "If / had served year
or two" said he, 81 could get pension

Tanned an Ant.

The Rev. Father Wasman is German
Jesuit priest who takes a great interest
in insects of every sort, and is recognized
as an authority ON their habits. He
keeps many tribes of ants in artificial
nests. To these is connected feeding
tube ending in a glass bulb closed by a
cork. He noticed an ant that came into
this tube regularly. 1t was easy to
recognize it. The tiny creature licked
up the honey or sugar in the bulb, then
gathered up a supply which it took back
and shared with its companions. The
Rev. Father Wasman then approached
the ant with the point of a needle dip
ped in honey The ant at first shrank
back as if frightened, then gradually
drew nearer, feeling about with its an
tennas until it reached the needle and
licked of the honey. Later Il would
come and take the honey from lhe tip OF
his finger. Wasman succeeded in tam.
ing the insect so completely that at last
it Quilted the bulb Immediately the cork
was removed, came in quest OF The honey
on his finger and, after it had enjoy ed
its feast, without any attempt at fight,
allowed itself to be lifted on bristle and
carried back to the nest,

AN Open SEWER.
Running for Blocks and Causing
Sickness and Death.

81 was present one morning here whel
the body of a woman was pulled out o
this canal, into which she, no doubt, haC
fallen accidentally, as | do not think i
was a case Of suicide" said a resident o
South Capitol street to a Globe man one
/ day the past week.
The canal seems to be coated with
scum.
Coated with scum! Why, sir, it is d
sewer except for these eight or nine
blocks, from Virginia avenue and South
Capitol street until it empties into the
Eastern Branch over there
And sure enough, on closer inspection
the evidence was plain enough that We
were gazing on an open sewer, mscalled
(now) a canal.
The classic precinct called Bloodfield
is west of this sewer, while on the east
side are scattered residences; eight or ten
blocks of them here and there.
Surveying the ground with the eye in
the territory through which the sewer,
like Goldsmtt's schel1t, lazily seeps and
meanders, we were struck with the suita
bleness of the territory for manufacturing G
purposes, with working population close
at hand The Globe was informed that
surveys had been made for the South
Capitol bridge across the branch, but in
what condition or what progress toward
its erection was being made nobody could
tell
This open Sc ser or canal is a menace
to both life and health and serves again
by its existence to illustrate the rrespon-
sible form Of despotism the citizens OF
Washington and the District are, living
under. In any other city in the world
such a nuisance would be abaied.
Here is a surface ground ditch of water
running eight OF ten blocks, reeking with
filth, the stencil from which in the hot
weather is something unbearable, and
which the people living in the vicinity
are compelled 10 breathe in their lungs
day and night Why the Commissioners
have failed 10 abate this pest breeding
and sinking nuisance by filling in OF
covering it over is due to the fact that the
people forced to live in that section are
principally people who have to work fol
their daily bread, aud who, being de
prived of the privilege TO have any say in
the naming or election Of the city authOri.
ties, must grin and bear the evil and
suffer from the sickness naturally resul
tant from such an open sewer in theil
midst.
The danger to life of an unguarded ant
open ditch Of water and filth, both as d
pest.5reeding nuisance and trap for The
unwary pedestrian, has been demon
strated 10 the many drownings which
have, from time to time, occurred, as wei
as the general sickness prevailing in tho
territory through which it seeps.
Suicides, too, have been committed
and inspired by its fetid waters, as veal
/ physical organisms forced to suffer from
its poisonous miasm have been unable tC
endure the strain, and preferred death tC
a life Of such nauseating conditions al
one s compelled to endure who resides
within the deadly influence Of the ditch
This canal IS disgrace to the city, anC
the people living in that section should
invoke whatever little public sentimen
is left or is possible to arouse for its i'm
mediate abatement

How TO Overcome Habit.

An English schoolmaster offered a
prize TO the boy who could write the best
composition in five minutes on How Ia
Overcome Habit" The little fellow OF
0 years who won the prize wrote as fol
lows:
"Well, sir, habit is hard TO overcome
II you take Off the first letter II does not
change abit If you take off another
you still have bit left. If you take
of still another the whole Of IL remains,
II you take off another, It is not wholly
used up. All Of which goes to show that
if you want to get rid Of habit you must
throw il of altogether"
