The March of the Lemminqs.

Few animals are more stupid than
the Jennings, species of rodent in
Norway and Sweden like the com
mon water rat of America. They
are exceedingly voracious and bite
at anything and everything. 1t is
said that if met by cart the only
idea Of the lemming would be to
bite the wheel. This Unsuitable APP
petite makes it a fearful pest. An
army of Jennings will do as much
damage as a swarm of locusts. They
come down in enormous numbers
from the northern districts, where
the food supply has given out, and
march through Scandinavia in two
great armies separated by the Kio-
lens rance.

A Chinese Leqend About Tea.

There is a strange Chinese legend
concerning the tea plant. According
to the story, there once lived a very
pious hermit who passed the greater
part Of his time in prayer and yigils.
He was, however, unable to keep
awake as long as he wished and of
ten found his eyes closing while he
was in the very midst of his deyo-
tions. This naturally annoyed him,
and one day in fit Of wrath against
this weakness of the flesh, which he
seemed unable to overcome, he cut
off the offending eyelids and cast
them upon the ground. But his ac-
ton had been observed by a god,
who Immediately caused tea shrub
to spring up from the spot where
the eyelids had fallen. 1t is in refer
ence to this, according to the leg
end, that the leaves of the tea plant
are shaped like eyelids, fringed with
lashes and possess the power of
warding off sleep.

THE BANDS PART.
reasons Why 1t Would Rather Cut
Ice Than Make Music.

One winter when the First United
States cavalry was stationed in
Montana, says the Chicago News,
the bandmaster went to the com
mander of the post, General Culver
Grover, and reported that the mem
bers of the band had been ordered
to help cut ice.
He said, "Sheneral, they did not
enlist us to cut ice, but to make
moosic."
The commanding officer called
the adjutant and on his approach
said: "Mr. Adjutant, Mr.. Schmidt
wishes the band excused from ice
fatigue. He says they enlisted to
make music"
Mr.. Schmidt, bowling to the com
handing officer, said, eyes, shener-
al, to make moosic."
The commanding officer then said,
"Mr. Adjutant, the band will be ex-
cused from ice fatigue"
Mr.. Schmidt bowed himself out,
saying, "Thank you, sheneral; thank
you, sheneral."
"But," continued the command
ing officer as the door closed, "lIr.
Adjutant, the band will take post on
the bluff overlooking the river and
will make music while the rest of
the command cut ice"
The weather was intensely cold,
and as a matter of course it was i'm
possible for the players to make
sound, their breath freezing on their
Instruments.
The bandmaster again hurried to
-he commanding officer and said:
'Sheneral, it is impossible to make
noosic. The band would rather cut

A LEGEND OF TIE FLOOD.
The Tradition Handed Down by the
British Columbia Indians.

All the northern coast Indians,
says a British Columbia correspond
ent, have tradition of a fosd
which destroyed all mankind except
pair from which the earth was
again peopled. Each tribe gives the
story a local coloring, but the plot
of the legend is much the same.
The Bella Coola tradition is as fol-
lows;
The creator of the universe. Mes
mes-sa-la-nik, had great difficulty
IN the arrangement of the land and
water. The earth persisted in sink
ing out Of sight. At last he hit
upon plan which worked very well.
Taking long line of twisted walrus
hide, he tied it around the dry land
and fastened the other end to the
corner of the moon. Everything
worked well for long time, but at
last the spirit became very much
offended at the action of mankind
and in fit of anger one day seized
his great stone knife and with
mighty hack severed the rope Of
twisted skin. Immediately the land
began to sink into the sea. The
angry waves rushed in torrents up
the valleys, and in short time
nothing was visible except the peak
of very high mountain.
All mankind persisted in the
waters with the exception
of two, a man and his wife, who
we're out fishing in a big canoe.
These two succeeded in reaching the
.op of the mountain and proceeded
% make Themselves at home. Here
hey remained for some time until
he anger Of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik cool
ID, which resulted in his fishing up
he severed thong and again fasten-
ng it to the moon. From this pair
hus saved the earth was again pop
dated.
