ARMY OF LocUsTs.-A Bombay, Qn-
dia) newspaper publishes an amazing
account of a remarkable flight of 10
Gusts which visited Satara recently.
After o'clock in the afternoon the
locusts made their appearance, going
from east to west, and toward evening
myriads of them began to settle down
for the night.
Next morning there were reports,
which at first were laughed at, that
the roads were blocked by trees falling
across them, that traffic was at a
standstill and that all this was caused
by the locusts.
When the mass of insects resumed
flight next day, some idea of it's i'm
mensity was obtained. The main body,
which was thick enough to form a
substantial shade, occupied about one
mile in breath, with two wings a mile
and half each. The insects were
travelling about seven miles an hour,
and as they took eight hours in passing

Relics of Civilization In Unexpected
Places.
The eyes Of every Britisher are fol-
lowing the march Of the gallant SOL
diers In the land Of the Grand Lama
Of Tibet, and wishing the expedition
whose mission Is Of far more import
ance than is commonly known-suc-
cess.
It's progress is being duly recorded
by the few war correspondents accom-
panying the expedition, and some
remarkable statements are being sent
home. One is to the effect that many
of the rifles found in the possession
Of dead Tibetans, discovered after the
recent battle Of Tuna, were Of Russian
make, thus conveying an obvious sug-
gestion which serves to indicate the
reason Of Britain's advance into the
Forbidden Land.
One of the officers on Colonel Young
husbands staff writes to friend that
they are frequently finding objects
which are strangely out Of place. A
few months ago, when they were at
Khamba-Jong this officer picked up
pair Of gloves bearing the name OF
a well-known London make; while
in the Tang Pass a private picked up
a small, well-thumbed English diction-
ary, with a carte -viste Of a young
Englishman pasted on the flyleaf.
Quite a curious chapter might be
written on those finds were 1t possible
to discover the owners of the lost
property. They indorse, at any rate,
other out of the-way finds.
A relative Of the friend Of the wri-
ter was at the battle of Khartoum,
when Lord Kitchener finally broke
the power of the Mahdi and rendered
futile the hostility Of the dervishes
against the British advance. Upon
one Of the dead dervishes was found
a single eyeglass Of undoubted Mayfair
cut. How did the dervish come by It?
Sir Henry M. Stanley, the great ex-
plorer, has in his library at Richmond
Terrace, Whitehall, many curious
finds which he came across in his wan
derings across the Dark Continent Of
Africa. One is a silver-plated fork
bearing the name Of a fashionable
London restaurant. This fork was
found in a part of Africa which had
never before been trodden by the foot
of white man till Stanley had broken
the record and arrived there with his
little band. A pigmy whose tribe was
unknown till then was wearing the
fork around his neck as an ornament.

"Booze" Brightness.

When Governor Joseph K. Toole of
Montana, was in New York a few
weeks ago he told a story illustrative
Of the faculty Of a we'll known law
yer in his state to say the right thing
at the right time. This lawyer friend
is an old timer in Montana and has
long held a leading place at the Mon
tana bar, but he Is inclined at times
to linger too long over the flowing
bowl. At such times he loses. all idea
Of location, and though he has lived
in one neighborhood for twenty years
and has general idea Of the location
Of his home to reach it he always has
to have assistance, not in walking, but
to give the direction.
One evening the governors lawyer
friend started home, little the worse
for wear, with his tongue thick and his
ideas Of location hazy. By accident he
took the right street, but when he got
within a block Of his home he was un-
able to tell where he was. A bright
idea came into his befuddled brain.
He would inquire at the nearest house.
He rang the bell and the daughter OF
the house appeared. She knew him,
and when he asked her in as clear tones
as he was capable Of to tell him where
his house was she pointed to it. The
governors friend thanked her effuSive-
ly and many times. In order to cut
short the conversation the young wo-
man said: Don't mention it; don't
mention it."
81 never will If you won't" was the
reply Of the lawyer.

ONE PERFECT WoMAN.-Apropos of
the ideal woman, President Remsen
told funny little story the other day
which was keenly enjoyed by an au-
dience Of women.
"a misguided man." said President
Remsen, "was once attempting to ad-
dress a group Of ladies upon the topic
"The Ideal Woman" By way Of intro
duction he asked: "Who among you
has ever known the ideal woman her
self or known any one who has ever
been intimately associated with an
ideal woman"
There was depressing pause which
seemed to indicate distressing lack
Of perfect woman, nobly planned etc.
ITO render his oratory more effective
the speaker repeated the question, and
the eyes Of the audience reflected sur
prise when a meek and badgered-look-
ing woman in the rear lifted hand
above the rusty bonnet.
$50 you know an ideal woman?'
questioned the gentleman.
"'No,' faltered the woman, but |
have known one intimately associated
with her. She was my husbands first
wife."-Life.

HAD TRIED IT.-The tramcar con-
ductor had had a good deal Of trouble
in getting the old lady in the car, says
Casseps Journal. But at last his strug-
giles were crowned with success.
"Oh, mel" she wheezed, as she set
tied herself in her seat. "Its all this
dreadful rheumatism-thats what 1t
is, I'm sure, as I used to say to my
dead husband, I'm perfect martyr
to it."
Instantly a benevolent-looking old
gentleman in the corner was all SYM
pathy.
Did you ever try electricity, mad
ann" he said, kindly. II used to be a
great sufferer myself from rheuma-
tism, but I went in for the treatment,
and in the course Of a short time it
completely cured me-"
electricity, indeed" snorted the old
lady. "a lot Of good that is! should
think I have tried it. Why, l was
struck by lightning only a year ago,
and I have been worse instead Of bet
ter ever since"

GOOD SECRET TO kNow.-A man
went to a nose and throat specialist
the other dav to have his cold cured.
AS he was paying well for the first
treatment he said, How long does it
take you to cure a cold?"
Three weeks" said the specialist.
"And how long would it take me
to get we'll if I didn't come to you?"
asked the alarmed patient
"Twenty-one days." said the special
jst.
And it wasn't until the patient was
half way home that he suddenly stop
ped and wondered whether he ought to
laugh or get angry. He finally decided
that perhaps the secret he had learned
was worth the price he had paid for
1t. It's a good secret to know.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

AN EXCELLENT SAFE.-Naturally,
since the Toronto and Baltimore fires,
statesmen Of fireproof safes have been
working overtime. During the week,
two safe statesmen, representing differ
ent firms, called simultaneously on a
local business man. The first salesman
said:
"To demonstrate the quality Of our
safes, it is the custom to put a cat in
one of them, to lock it, build great
fire around it and to leave it in the
flames twenty-four hours. At the end
Of that time we open the safe and the
cat leaps out unharmed.
Wonderful" said the merchant,
wonderful"
The second salesman spoke up:
I'VE once put a cat in a safe Of ours
and kept it surrounded with fire for a
week. At the end Of the week, what
condition do you suppose the cat was
it?"
Dead" said the merchant.
Eyes, dead" said the salesman. But
do you know how it died?"

been campaigning in Georgia on foot
and was twenty-five miles from home.
1t became necessary for him to go

"Adamson." he replied. Eve are five
months behind with our work here. and
