THE INSECTS OF PANAMA.
FIeas, Ticks md Borers Render Life
ON the Isthmus Anything but
Enjoyable.

Owing to lack of facilities for travel.
comparatively little is known of the
everyday customs and conditions of
life in Central America, and we are
prone to think of these tropical regions
as place, of lavish, luxuriant vegeta-
zion. everlasting sunshine, gayly
plumaged birds and an ideal atmos-
phere of relaxation and comfort. We
forget that, during the rainy season.
the mud is four feet deep on the roads
in Panama; that men die like dogs
during some seasons) in the street, so
fresh graves in day being a common
sight; that sanitary regulations re-
ceive no consideration whatever; that
the soil is mass of decaying vegeta-
ton that breathes out disease and
death; that the haunting fear of
chagres and yellow fever hangs over
every district of the isthmus, and last
but not least, that life is made one
round OF torment by the legions of in
sect pests that infest the whole. coun-
try, says the Los Angeles Times.
Indeed, it takes man of fortitude
and courage to face a life in Panama.
No amount of fine scenery and the CAV
coloring of flower and wing will really
compensate for the physical discom-
forts that these myriads of insect
forms bring to man, especially to the
white man. who is less Injured to tor
lures of that kind than is his black
brother. And yet many Americans 20
there, suffer the trials that such eli
mate and life entail. and often come
out none the worse for the experience.
We consider the flea of California
troublesome enough. but he is nothing
compared with the little creature that
takes his place on the Isthmus of Pan
ANA. This flea, called "coloradiIla-
(little red one), is tiny, flaming red
insect, almost microscopic. His dfmin-
utive size renders him impossible TO
capture, which is one of his advantages
over the fleas Of the temperate climates

| however, the coloradilla has no hor-
ping ability. but he sticks firmly to the
| flesh wherever he chooses to locate.
As he cannot readily be seen with the
naked eye it is impossible to remove
him by any ordinary means. and ones
only relief is to battle in alcohol. So
numerous are these fieas and so annoy
| ing their bite that an alcohol bath is
necessary every night before retiring.
To neglect this duty is to spend hours
of sleeplessness.
Another insect far more yenomous
in its effect. and pronounced by the
miners who go into the interior as their
greatest enemy. is a small creature
that gets into the flesh of the feet. usu-
ally about the nail. This insect bur-
rows beneath the skin and lays an egg
that soon matches, causing itching,
swelling and intense pain. The little
sac in which the egg is laid swells rap
| idly, and the severe pain thus caused
necessitates immediate removal of this
foreign substance. 1t frequently hap
pens that blood poisoning sets in. and
toe or foot has to be amputated to
save life.
The Americans who are quick witfed
enough take their cue from the ma
tives and remove the little insect in
truder as soon as the itching is felt.
If allowed to remain until the swelling
begins the operation of removing is
painful one. And again, a certain skill
is necessary in order not to draw the
blood, and this may be acquired by
observation of the blacks, who have re-
duced to scientific basis the process
of cutting out this little insect.
Indeed. the only protection against
these insects and another quite SINH
lar that bores beneath the skin is to
learn the art of removing them For
no buckskfn leggings or stiff walking
boots are stout or close enough to
hinder these intruders from finding
their way to the human flesh. and ones

position of flea.
Another source of common annoy-
ance, in the way of insect life, in that
land of manana, is the sand fy. This
minute being is omnipresent, and he
makes himself known by bite that is
far worse than that of the ordinary
mosquito. Another dissimilarity from
the later is that the sand fly gives no
announcing hum or singing as he ap-
proaches, but, like many another of
the poisonous creatures of Panama. is
right there 'for business" before one
has chance for protection against his
sting. In many cases he poisons the
skin so badly that swelling and great
pain are the result, and the only rem
edy is diluted ammonia or some other
solution used to extract poison from
the bites of venomous insects and rep
tiles.
These are but few of the torment
ing creatures of that sunny cline.
Their number is legion, for the trees
along the river banks are hung with
poisonous snakes which are dreaded.

PLANTATION REPORTS.
Onomea and Honomu have each Raised
A Banner Crop.

The annual reports of Onomea and
Honomu plantations have been sent to
stockholders. The crop just harvest
ed has been the largest in the history
of the two plantations. The Onomea
crop was l3.472 tons and that of Ho-
nomu 1884 tons. On neither plantation
is the crop of next year expected to be
as large as that of this, on account of
the excessive rainfall of the past two
years and simultaneous cold weather.
The managers of both plantations say
the labor situation is satisfactory, and
Manager Moir of Onomea speaks in
great praise of the new Yellow Gale

The modern champions of greed and
enemies of society are resorting to
many artiflces to escape the services
of justice. Justice will refuse such
alluring overtures. She demands an
answer. She viii not accept such
soap water, towel and sponge as an
atonement. She is blind to them.
Justice says to the op2ressor and
despoiler, there Is blood on your
hands" Macbeth has murdered
Sleep" You are in the broad day
light of righteousness, and your palms
are soiled with dirty dollars. You
tried to murder justice and "Banquo's
gnost will not down." Only justice
can clean your hands.
To the venal vampires, justice says
to their pleadings for continuance,
"You have swindled and impoverished
men, women and little ones. You have
heaped sharp stones in their path
way of life. You seek the remission
of sins at the confessionals of priests,
editors and statesmen, followed with
rich gifts. | will none OF 1.-THE men,
women and children are still pinched
and starving from your greed"
The day of reckoning must come.
You cannot with unwashed hands
conjure up some miracle TO save you.
The time Is coming when justice will
challenge again the dirt on your
hands. "The mills of the gods grind
slowly. but exceedingly fine." You
men with unclean hands, do you OBJ
serve that roses have left the cheeks
OF the children of your victims? They
are working hard to give fathers and

resentatives shall be appOrtioned by
adding the whole number Of free per-
sons three-fifths of all other per-

negroes. If, then, we repeal the 18th
amendment and make negroes slaves,
these slaves Tor property shall be
counted, in making up the number of
representatives each southern slave
state will be entitled to in congress.
Do the southern people want to do
this? Do they really want to make
slaves out of their negroes and yet
have them counted as almost equal to
their owners, in making representa-
tion in congress? If so, then white
man, by owning lot OF slaves, can be
very powerful in congress, and wealth
would go to make up representation OF
the southern states in congress, while
freemen would make such representa-

14th amendment, negroes became citi-

object?
If the 14th amendment is repealed,
then negroes cease to be citizens, uil-
less the state legislatures choose to
make them citizens. And the states
tnat seeded and thereby produced
civil war-(simply because Abraham
Lincoln was elected president and It
could be seen that there could be no
more slave states and that slavery
must be restricted to the states where
it was)-certainly will reduce negroes
slavery, as soon as the 14th amend
ment is repealed. This amendment
certainly makes them citizens, and IL
the southern people do not intend that
negroes shall be citizens, what do
they intend that they shall be? There
is no middle ground. They must eth
er be citizens or else reduced to the
condition of horses, cattle and other
animals, that can be bought and sold
and treated as property. Should these
people be reduced to merchandise?
If we repeal the 14th amendment
and 60 back to the constitution, as we
had 1t, before the civil war, then we
shall be called upon to allow the
southern states to count three-fifths
of the slaves in making up the num-
