Wild Dogs of Central Africa.

OF the wild dog of central Agrica an
explorer writes: THE wild dog is
common enough. He is an ugly look

hair, short head and large upright
ears These wild dogs play fearful
havoc with game. occasionally clear

India, before which even the tiger is
said to retreat. They have a wonder
full power of scent, wonderful bold
ness, endurance and pertinacity, and
their loose. easy gallop covers the
ground far more quickly than il APP
pears to do. They usually hunt in
considerable packs. although | have
met them in threes and

dogs actually attacking man, but they
often behave as il on the point OF
doing so, and unarmed travellers have

EGYPT's PLAGUE OF LocUsTS
Agricultural interests Alarmed at
Their Ravaqes.

Their RavaSes.
There is every probability OF the
plague Of locusts which has now de-
scended on Egypt proving a very seri
Gus one. Great anxiety is felt for the
young cotton and other crops.
The locusts first arrive in compare
lively small numbers, but they multi
ply very rapidly as soon as they reach
the edge of cultivation. Within ten
days the young insects. still wingless,
advance in solid phalanx, sometimes
two or three feet deep and several
miles in length. 1t is essential that
at this stage they should be destroyed
as it would be impossible to check
the ravages of flying locusts.
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
were 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 providen
tial habit of young locusts never to
turn back or aside when once start
ed, no matter what obstacles are put
in their way.-Cairo correspondence

MAKING OF FINE LAcEs.
One Case Where American Genius Is
Still at Fault.

Still at Fault.
Fine laces," said w. w. Chace,
constitute one of the most readily
salable classes of merchandise which
is imported to this country, and 1t is
source of wonder that American
genius has not devised some way in
which to meet this demand with do
nestle article which will serve the
same purpose and can be sold at
something like the same price.
But 1t has not" he continued. I'VE
have had many machines invented.
but the nearest we can come Is to
manufacture a type of lace which is
naturally cheap and does not in any
sense approach its handmade foreign
rival. OF course, American women
could be taught in time to knit such
fine fabrics as their sisters do in Ire
land. England, France, Germany and
Spain; but we in this country are too
busy making money to waste time in
that way.
Il have Travelled all over Europe
and the most interesting method OF
making lace over there that l came
across was at Plauen, Germany. 1t is
woven on kind of boiling cloth made
Of fine silk, and after the pattern is
completed a certain acid, parts OF
which are kept secret, is applied and
the boiling cloth eaten away, leaving
only the lace. They also have way
OF altering the strength OF the acid
in order to give the lace rich, old

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS.
BE Interested In Them, but Never
Show Curiosity.

Be Interested In Them, but Never
Show Curiosity.
If you would have friends, be inter.
csted in them.
There is a difference between inter
est and curiosity. Never be curious.
Interest asks nothing, but is glad
of others joys and sorry for others
misfortunes. Curiosity seeks to find
more than is written upon the surface,
seeks 1t for the purpose of distribu'
ton, for innocent SANDER.
Ones friends like one to be inter
ested. They detest one who is curl
Gus.
To be interested in those one meets
needs but to wish them well.
To see the best of those about us
will cause us to wish them well.
To our well-wishers we pour out our
joys and scrrows. They are interest.
ed. They understand.
The interested friend always under
stands. The curious acquaintance
never sees through motives. The curl.
GUS one is blinded by his own inter
probation Of causes and his prejudiced
view of results.
Don't, therefore, seek to know what
is hidden. II your friends conceals
something from you he has a reason
for doing it. Prove your interest and
your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust
ing him in spite of the concealment.
Those who are truly interested
and never curious are surrounded by
friends.-Detroit Tribune.

From which he laughing turned:
She smarted meath the little blows
Which left him unconcerned:
She borrowed little troubles when
Size had none of her own:

And let her fret alone.

On them was laid one day;
Bewailing his heart-breaking fate
He flung his hopes away.

While still her eyes were wet,
And led him forth. infirm and bent

built one and a quarter miles from

the citizens in this district is GER

for right of way across allotments.
The manner of construction was

were established near where the
men were working, SO that no
time would be lost in going to and
from work, and AZ the distance was
