MOST FATAL DISEASE.

This is the terrible appellation
which Colonel Seely, the British un-
der-secretary for the colonies, gives
to the. sleeping sickness Of Africa.
This disease is communicated by the
famous tsetse, and Sir David Bruce
has reported that out Of hundreds of
thousands of cases he did not know
of a single recovery.
A strange fact is that the sleep
ing sickness has spread enormously
since the coming of white men into
the regions affected by it, Heroic
efforts have been made TO stay the
scourge, but it is not yet arrested,
although encouraging progress has
been made. The plan Of removing
the natives from the infected lake
shores has not proved so elTectual a
remedy as was hopcd.-Youth's

HOSPITALITY OF BERNHARDT
Guests at Dinner Table Of Actress
Whom She Had Never Seen
Before.

An Italian journal in commenting
OH Nine. Sarah Bernhardfs recent
appearance at London music hall
explains how it is thatthis great art
list seems always in need of money.
Ut is interesting to read that in the
case of this distinguished artist her
money is literally at the disposal not
only of her near and distant rela-
tions and friends, but even of people
she does not know, for her house is
open to all.
At one time she never entertained
less than twenty persons daily at
dinner, and it is related that Alex
andre Dumas, who was one day of
the number sitting at the right hand
of Nine. Bernhard, asked her, "Will
you kindly tell me the name of your
friend on my left?" "That is more
than l can do" said she, "for / have

TERRIBLE PLAGUE OF MICE
District IN Cape Breton swarms With
creaturos-cause Immense
Damage.

A district 90 miles beyond Cheli-
camp, in the far northwest Of Cape
Breton, has a terrific plague Of mice.
The whole country swarms with the
destructive creatures. The mice have
burrowed underground and excavat-
ed a network of eubterranean roads.
They began their destructive work
on the hay crop, cutting it as it stood
in the fields. When that was stored
they attacked the grain and the forty
farmers there have saved only seven
bushels. They attacked the potatoes
and the diggers ON opening up the
drills find little more than the stem
of the larger potatoes left in the
ground. The mice have carried
their work Of destruction TO the
woods and are stripping the bark
from the saplings and now they ard
entering houses, cutting their way
through the walls and threatening
to destroy clothes and household fur
niture.
No remedy is in sight. The people
have been digging pits to entrap
them, but in spite Of myriads de-
stroyed in this way there seems to
be no abatement of the plague. The
farmers are afraid to use poison for
fear of polluting the streams and
wells from which their cattle derive
their supply of water.
