insect Pests in brazil.

nothing Of the dear little mosquito.
The writer had extracted during four
years in Brazil no less than zoos higgars
from underneath every toenail of both
feet. The Portuguese, Brazilians, ltal.
ians and Spaniards called it recrea-
ton on Sunday to dig them out Of each
others feet. OF all the vile insects
on earth, the Berne fly is the worst.
She lays her eggs inside your flesh,
and matches three very ugly insects an
inch long, with three rings of bristles
round the body and sharp nippers.
They take about six weeks to develop
under your skin; then commence to
turn somersaults just when you want
to 60 to sleep after hard days work
in the sun. The natives of Brazil adopt
novel way of extracting the brute
when full grown; they tie on piece Of
raw pork and the Berne comes out Of
your skin and takes header into the
piece of pigskin.--Ceylon Observer.

Ten Years Of Blessed Work
and Glorious Victories.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
Has Brought Health and New
Life 10 the Sick and Diseased
in Every Part of The Civ
ilized World.

For the last ten years the work OF Paine
Celery Compound has been a blessed and
cheering one to men and women Of every
rank in society. In no case has the great
medicine failed to benefit, and where il has
been used promptly, it has in every case
brought cure.
The blessed results that spring from the
use Of Paine's Celery Compound are not
confined to this land of ours. The great
life-giving medicine has been sent to every
quarter Of the civilized world, and has
cured the sick, restored the weak and de-
pressed to health and strength, and caused
tens of thousands to live who failed to find
health in worthelsss prescriptions, sarsa-
parillas, nervines, and pills. Paine's Gel
cry Compound has cured when all other
remedies failed.
II is to this best of all medicines, Paine's
Celery Compound, that we would direct
the attention of every man and woman
suffering from weakness, general debility,
rheumatism, neuralgia, heart trouble, dys-
pepsia, anemia, blood disease, liver COM
plant, and kidney trouble. Thousands Of
grateful letters have poured in testifying
to wonderful and permanent cures.
Il is foolish and criminal to delay the use
of such disease banisher when others have
so clearly demonstrated its value; when
many of your friends and neighbors have
been made well by its use. The health-giy-
ing virtues are so eminently great that the
ablest physicians are prescribing Paine's
Celery Compound daily for the sick.
If you are weak physically, in the grasp
of disease, or simply out-of-sorts, irritable,
sleepless, or Respondent, try one bottle of
Paineis Celery Compound, and note well
the magical effects.

A few years passed and Miss Elwyn
was again seated in the bismarck
garden" this time in the society of
one Of the most promising physicians
in Chicago.
Neither her winsome smile nor her
personal charm had attracted him.
He was the worshiper Of her mind. and
the humber slave, who did homage to
the brilliancy of her wit. SO elevated
and impersonal was his attraction
that he had once told her: Were YOU
ten years older. and as ugly as night,
] should still be your bondsman. For
it is your spirit, your soul reverence. !"
Tonight he asked her TO share his
life, live his ideals, and help him carve
his future.
And again she hesitated. But this
time she was almost ashamed of her
self. For here was at length man
who approximated her ideal more
closely than any other she had ever
met. That is. in regard 20 the breadth
OF his mentality, the cleanness and
purity of his soul.
But, physically. this man was de-
cidedly wanting; for he was puny
and sallow and. save for lofty brow
and intellectual air, hopelessly insig-
nificant in appearance.
It's true she had read somewhere
of late words to this effect: "Man may
be considered as a body with soul,
but il bespeaks much higher stage of
evolution when we can consider him as
a soul with body wrapped about it,
At the time Miss Elwyn had ap-
proved of those words; she was
thrilled with their spiritual signiff-
canoe, but now, alas, she felt keenly
that this conception did not tally with
her own ideal. Body was not sub
sidiary to soul. Each were equally i'm
portant components of man.
For the heroes Of fictions who had
uneonsciously, perhaps, interested her
most were tall brawny men. with Wig
orous bodies as well as vigorous
brains. The character Felix Holt. one
of George Eliot's best creations, in
Miss Elwyn's opinion. had inspired her
greatest admiration and satisfied her
every demand.
Yes, a splendid. heroic soul en-
wrapped in strong, powerful frame. :"
Why should she not expect to meet
such a personality in real life2
Thus. upon the firm rock of her ideal
was the craft with her Hfe's hopes
wrecked.
For the young physician and she also
drifted apart
In these latter days Marion Elwyn
is often seen walking through the
slums Of the city, and many are the
noble deeds She administers to the
lowly. Indeed she is fairly idolized by
every dirty little ragamuffin Of those
quarters. She is a yeritable goddess
to them as she walks through their
streets and back alleys, bringing
words of cheer into their sordid lives.
Still some people have noted a Ger
tain sadness seated upon her pure and
noble brow; the expression, as il were,
Of an unsatisfied yearning.

group of happy children, who had
watched Marion Elwyn's career at

to my otherwise prosaic existence"
Marion Elwyn felt sad at this sud-
den trend of events, for coquetry was
foreign to her nature. and she had
simply encouraged Philips friendship,

So she said simply and frankly: "No,

would be impossible for me TO say

wished ! might say those words some

she hurried on to say in the most ten
der tones: "Do not imagine / love

one l know; for the only man who thus
far holds supremacy in my mind and

BAD EGG TRUST.

Combine Will Use State Product
ChemicaIIy-A New Industry.
Philadelphia, April S.-Here is the
Bad Egg trust. 1t brings with it for
the inferior actors guarantee of fu-
ture immunity from the wrath of bu-
collie audiences, loaded down with SUI
perannuated eggs, for under the plans
of the Bad Egg trust blase eggs will
be too valuable to be wasted upon
Thespians whose art is below par.
Plans are forming for the merger
of the interests of all dealers in stale
and defective eggs.
A process of condensing the albu-
men and yolk of bad eggs is soon to
be patented. The sharpest kind of
competition now exists in all large
cities for the stale and defective
eggs thrown out by the commission
men. 1t is estimated that in Phila-
delpnia alone the farmer and shipper
loses in a year about $6S000 in bad
and broken eggs. There is an aver
age loss of nine eggs in each 30doZen
CfdJ6, ana out Ol JDG fOU-UUU CRATES
shipped here in year, there is loss
of 1900 crates, or 4,068,000 eggs.
Men who deal in these stale eggs
contract with the commission mer-
chants to take all rejected eggs for
the year at sums ranging from $25
to $100, according to the extent of
the business done. The eggs are
then taken in closed iron wagons to
laboratories, and the albumen separ-
ated from the yolk. The albumen is
put in casks and shipped to Europe,
and the yolk is burned to an ash and
shipped abroad.
There the albumen is crystalized
and sent back, and sold to sugar re-
fners, bakers, chemists, photograph
ers, tanners and others. Now it is
proposed to keep this at home.
Gamblers, or testers of eggs, recog
nize eight or nine causes to warrant
rejection. All dirty, cracked or
checked eggs are picked out. In
twirling the eggs, the "foater' OF
roller is discovered.
The promoters of the Bad Egg
trust think there is big money in
keeping rejected eggs at home and
realizing on them here.

Butte Murderer Who Escaped From
Jail Is Now
FIGHTING WITH THE BURGHERS
His Attorney Has Received a Letter
Detailing How He EIuded the Pur-
suing Officers and Shipped on a
Vessel Bound for Cape of Good
Hope.

Butte, April 1.-Two years ago
Peter Dempsey murdered his wife.
One year ago he was convicted of the
crime and sentenced to be hanged.
Shortly afterward he, together with
two men who had been convicted of
burglaries, cast cayenne pepper into
the face of the jaiIer and made their
escape from the Butte Jail. The bur
glars were recaptured, one in Mis-
soula and the other in Wyoming, but
Dempsey made good his escape and
has never been heard of until yester-
day, when Thomas A. Morrin, his at
torney, received a letter from him,
written in South Africa and detail
ing how he eledued the officers and
finally shipped at st. Johns N. B., on
a vessel bound for Cape of Good
Hope. There will probably be no
effort to extradite tie fugitive, as
Dempsey's identity is now lost
among the rank and file of Boer bel
ligerents.
