LOCUST PLAGUE IN EGYPT.
The Invasion Of Insects 10 a Very Sc
rlous One.

rlous One.
There is every probability of the
plague Of locusts which has now de.
scended on Egypt proving very Sc
rious one. Great anxiety is felt for
the young cotton and other crops.
The locusts first arrive In compar-
atively small numbers, but they null
tiply very rapidly as soon as they
reach the edge OF cultivation. With
in ten days the young insects, though
still wingless, advance In solid pha-
lanx sometimes two or three feet deep
and several miles in length.
It is essential that at this stage
they should be destroyed. as 1t would
be impossible to cnec.x the ravages Of
flying locnsts.
The method adopted during the last
visitation, that of 1890, was to dig
deep trenches, sometimes miles in
length, between which and the ad-
vancing swarm huge heaps of straw
we're laid and fired. Any locusts
which succeeded in escaping the
flames and smoke fell into the
trenches, where they were destroyed
by natives under the supervision Of
English instructors.
1t is a providential habit of young
locusts never to turn back or aside
when once started, no matter what
obstacles are put in their way.-Cairo
Correspondent London Daily Mall.

remarkable experience hunting snakes

terday. They were at work when they
noticed in lot near by some black
snakes in the high, dry grass. Mr..
Cushman at once began war on the
snakes, and had a very lively skirmish
for few minutes, as some of the
snakes were inclined to show fight.
He killed ten, and only one or two got
away. The last two were killed in a
tree in which they had taken refuge.
Mr.. Cushman brought them to Rock
vile in big box. The largest snake
measured almost six feet long and the
smallest snake was 31a feet long,

By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

OF all the people drawing breath
The one I least desire to meet
Is he who talks you half to death
The man who always has you beat.
In his own mind-he's made of gall
The man, I mean, who knows it all.
Most any subject that you start,
1t always seems, is in his line
He knows the whole thing all by heart
And has it down all pat and fine.
Right off your bat he takes the ball,
This maddening man who knows it ALL
You never get a chance to say
A word or two, or, if you do
The fellows sure to make a play
To get the lead before you're through
The turn on you he's sure to call,
This hateful man who knows it all.
I'm not a bloody minded man
To this my neighbors will attest
But l would vote for any plan
To rid us of this horrid pest
I've suffered long his evil thrall,
This odious man who knows it all.
