INSECT r OB" ■ N S OF BRAZIL.
Mosquitoes ft Blessing Compared with
Brazil’s Creeping Pests Which Lodge
Under the Sum and Must ba Cut
Out.
From the Yew York Star.
Insects in all countries often possess an
extensive power of annoyance greatly in
contrast with their diminutive size. They
appear to combine the maximum of effect
•with the minimum of effort, in a very scien
tific fashion. Biazi! is especially favored
with parasitic torments; and even if those
who are to the manner born become cas;
hardened, the traveler from climes where
insect life is less offensive in it attacks can
never be wholly reconciled to iiis lot Even
the most generous of Christians harbors a
revengeful spirit against his bloodthirsty
but minute assailants, which are at once
puny and powerful.
'l ake the bush tick, for example. Of this
diminutive monster there are three species,
of which the largest is aiiout three-quartbrs
of an inch in diameter. We are told that this
insect was known to the ancients, but it is
very unlikely that they enjoyed its ac
quaintance. There are three varieties:
lx des ricinus, ixodes plumbus and ixodes
reticulatus. The Latin name was derive!
from its supposed resemblance to the ripe
bean of the Palma Christi. The Brazilian
name is earrapato, and when examined
under a magnifying glass it is seen to be
furnished with a weapon of defense in the
form of a trident of teeth, which are
serrated inward. It has also three pairs of
legs, and each leg is provided with strong
hooked claws. Enormous quantities of the
eggs are laid upon the ground, and the
young ones as they creep out climb up the
plants aud catch at any passing animal
which brushes past, and fatten on it. When
H. W. Bates was in the highlands of Brazil,
he had to devote an hour at the end of his
daily rambles to picking off the carrapatos
that clung to him by their incisive fangs.
The infliction is so dreadful that horses and
rattle sometimes die from the exhaustion
caused by the bites of these creatures, which
settle in swarms. The traveler soon has the
appearance of a person suffering from
ebingles. Sometimes the attacks bring on
ricinian fever, just as in Russia, people may
Suffer from pulicious fever. The rainy sea
ton kills many of the carrapatos, and they
also fall a prey to the birds; and the cirema,
in particular, is never snot by the natives,
because they know the value of its service in
thinning the ranks of the multitudinous
(dood-sucking ixodes.
Another insect torment of Brazil is the
jigger, or pulex irritans, pulex subintrans,
pulex minimus, pulex penetrans. These
interesting creatures make their home
chiefly in the human foot, and hence are
known to the Brazilians as bichos do pe
(foot beasts). H. C. Dent had five of these
Unwelcome guests from January to June,
and they took up their abode in the follow
ing localities: The first on the right big
toe, second on the right heel, third on the
left heel and two under the sole of the left
foot. He had to cut them out.
Btill worse are the verne, which attack
indifferently cattle and human beings.
With animals, they appear to raise a large
hard lump, so that they probably reside in
lhe skin arter the fashion of the ox-warble,
fiir Richard Burton says that stories are
current of negroes losing their lives from
the berno. The grub is deposited in the
dose and other parts of the body, and if
Squeezed to death, instead of extracted, it
festers and produces serious consequences.
Children 8 months old may suffer from a
Visitation of the berno. Some of the na
tives, in the case of adults, apply a burning
Stick to the wound in order to destroy the
Worm. Mercurial ointment is also used.
Mr. Dent’s dog was one mass of sores from
the bernos and bichos do pe, and it was piti
able to see him, when running about, turn
kround almost every minute and, with a
pitiable whine, bite his wounds until they
Were raw. Such are some of the pleasures
t>f the insect world of Brazil.
THE UPHOLSTERY OF ART.
Realism Run Mad in the Matter of
Framing Etchings.
from the New York Mail and Express.
Loversjof art have watched with growing
horror the progress of the picture framer's
•o-ealled art. The thing is to make the
frame in consonance with the picture, and
l.iis has been carried to a pitch of realism
It w hich artists stand aghast. Some of
iiiis upholstery of art is “shoppy” to tho
'ust degree.
A fine etching of Millet’s “Angelus,” for
stance, is framed m a broad band of
i 'nest jut, shady in dusky tints, with an old
'."11. from which hangs a coil of rope,
irved on one side and a flight of bats
'.■reading their wings on the other. Jules
Id.oion’s “Winnowing the Grain,” hasa like
mil of chestnut, with the scythe and rake
111 dull silver crossed above the head of the
kling woman. A panel of Landseer's
lings, framed in oak for the hall, has a
ivh p b ailing its length across the top of
lie wood; and a silver chain and padlock
f isteued from corner to comer below.
Cooman's “Laughter” shows a girl with
her head on a p llow. As framed and
xhibited a recent copy carries out the
Ideas by enameling the wood, picking it
hut in silver and gold, and making it appar
ently a continuation of the damsel’s lace
tushion.
Carved frames and enameled frames are
the varieties most in vogue The enameling
Is done upon shaded chestnut in white and
gold, pale blue and piuk to suit Pompadour
looms. Sometimes it is picked out in
metallic tones by hand. A w ater-color ma-
I'ino view h„s an enameled frame in whit
ish green tint3 suggesting sea
loam. Across one corneris stretched
a piece of net and in the net strug
gles a fish with iridescent scales. Other
Inarine pictures have cable cord stretched
kbout the frame, or oars, harpoons and
anchors applied in dull silver. Maiden’s
lioads are framed enamel done to represent
soft-hued silk folds.
The < arved frames are more elaborate.
The carving is done in intaglio and is some
times darkened, giving the effect almost of
a burned wood sketch done oil the frame. A
genre picture of a frog concert has a tracery
of carving on its wide, flat frame showing
Water weeds, lily pads and notes of the ba
trachian music. Harvesters at work in the
fields have carved fruines showing heads of
grain.
But the most radical of all steps is taken
when the carved fiame not only echoes, hut
actually continues the picture. This is
most easily possible with the yellow-brown
tones of a photogravure. A landscape scene
shows you a farmhouse in tho distance, a
country lane, a plowed field. The lane
runs directly toward you, projects on t e
frame and is curved without a break. The
furrows of the plowed ground do tho
same. The farm ouse itself encroaches on
tlie wood, and the fence at its side and the
trees which overhang it are wholly carved.
Bo with on old boot which a peasant woman
Is pulling. The bow is photogravure, tho
stern is carving. The wavts are half of
them carved. The woman’s right oar begins
in the picture, but its blade is carved on the
lrame.
Of the nature of bric-a-brac fancies are
the cases in which the picture is finished on
the frame in silver. A lion’s head is shown
In a cage. The bars are of oxidized silver,
and they are sot in the frame above and
‘"’low. A flock of birds are perched on a
telegraph wire. The poles are of silver, one
011 each side of the frame. This liberty is
taken with etchings, which submit with
patience to tho treatment. Silver is also
used for lettering, on otherwise plain, fiat
chestnut or oak frames, the naiue of picture,
artist or etcher.
Thi large new silver vault in the treasury de
partment is so damp that the canvas hogs con
taining the silver stored there are rotting away.
|' , 'ssiires are being taken to improve the ventl
, Dun 0 f t he vault, and arrangements are also
being Made to substitute small rough piue boxes
llt r ‘tie canvas bags tor holding the silver.
Those boxes will each hold 3.UUO silver dollars,
•hit it Is proposed to shire 30,000 of them in the
vault. The silver Is still coming lu at the rate
W JdUO.DOO a day.
A CKOIUi. V "‘F EVILS.
Is It Better to ie of Poisoned Cigar
ettes or Bad Cigars?
From the New York Graphic.
The last note of alarm, and one which
will strike with formidable resonance m the
ears of timid, nervous and fanciful people
who are given to smoking tobacco, has been
sowide iin anEnglish paper by a medical <;• ■ -
respondent, wiio states that having fou ;d in
the course of his private practice and tliatof
the ho nital to which he is attacked a
marked increase in eases of malignant
throat diseases, he, together with some of
his colleagues, have made some very care
ful researches into t e causes of this dis
quieting portent, and, finding that the suf
ferers from this special form of distase
were almost exclusively males, they not un
naturally adopted the inference that smok
ing was, in a great many instances, t e pri
mary cause of these thoracic disturbances.
It must be at once admitted that the medi
cal alarmist in question is not by his own
statement by any means one of those who
consider the pipe, the cijjar or the ordinary
cigarette necessarily injurious; but he has
come to the conculsion that the tobacco in
cigarettes directly imported from Egypt
and Turkey is mixed, presumably to impart
to it a characteristic flavor, with some in
sidious poison.
This conclusion was not adoptei without
makii g a careful analysis of cigarettes
manufactured at home from foreign tobacc ,
and of the Egvptian and Turkish produo..-,
themselves. In the latter was found a
large proportion of opium and an unclassi
fied alkaloid which was totally absent from
the former.
Thus, argues the medical gentleman, it
will bo obvious that an irritant poison con
stantly brought into contact with the region
of perhaps the most sensitive part of the
human organization is calculated to bring
about serious organic trouble; and he con
sequently deems it his duty to warn the
public against w hat he contends to lie a
grave danger lurking in their midst.
Undoubtedly, says the London Tele
graph, from move than one point of view
the medical gentleman has every rig.it to be
considered a public benefactor; and, if
Egyptian and Turkish cigarettes are really
found to yield a dangerous proportion of
irritant poison, be it In the shape of opium
or of some unclassified alkaloid, the sale of
such commodities should bo generally dis
couraged, and, if necessary, suppressed by
the law.
There are, of course, the Telegraph con
tinues, ciioice cigars made of rare and
fragrant tobacco, delicately cured, symmet
rically rolled, scientifically finished, dain
tily packed, and these cigars are worth all
the money that the most expensive tobac
conist can charge for them. Yet it is unde
niable that England and the Continent of
Europe are deluged with vile cigars, com
posed, we do not doubt it, in most cases of
some kind of tobacco, but which absolutely
reek with essential oil, which is an acrid and
irritant poison. Will the and etors kindly tell
us which component is the most perilous to
lite and health —the slight quantity of
opium or some unclassified alkaloid which
may be mixed in Egyptian and Turkish to
bacco, or the horrible oil which p Isons the
inferior cigar! It is, perhaps, for the rea
son that thoroughly good cigars are so costly
and so difficult to obtaiu tnat even polite
society has of late years taken to smoking
briar wood pipes in the country and cigar
ettes in town. Of course the cigarette;
should be devoid of any poisonous admix
ture; but, were the Egyptian aud Turkish
products thoroughly discredited, it is to be
feared that some new medical prophet of
evil would arise to prove to demonstration
that bronchitis, laryngitis and diphtheria
were all largely on the increase, in conse
quence of the adulteration with some act
ive poison or some unclassified alkaloid of
South Russian, Cuban, Louisianian, Mexi
can or South African tobacco.
FASHION AND TASTE.
A Woman’s Dress Reveals Her Taste,
Refinement and Independence.
From the London Queen.
The fashion of buying all things ready
made has been a blessing in many ways, but
It has deprived women of the necessity of
thinking out their clothes for themselves,
and as investing them with some degree of
their own personalities,
The ‘'aesthetic set” were right when they
set their faces against this custom, and de
clared that every woman’s dress should be
an expression of herself; but the mania for
full bodices and skimpy skirts, huge hats
and little handkerchiefs, defeated its object,
for all the maidens and matrons of the eso
teric coterie were arrayed in the same fash
ion, so that while the individuality of their
set was asserted energetically by their at
tire, thtir own personal entity was more
utterly disguised thereby than it would
have been by the most French and elaborate
of ready-made costumes.
A woman who has the instinct of dress
shows it when she buys a gown “off a peg”
just as much as wtieu she plans and ar
ranges every detail of her costume after
her own fancy.
That a frock is pretty or quaint or fash
ionable is no reason that she should pur
chase it; her test of it is, "Does it look like
me!” and though she may sometimes take a
new departure, some new freak of fashion,
which is unlike anything she lias worn, but
that yet approves itself to her as likely to
suit her, she has the wit to know whether it
will really mold itself to her, and utterly
scorns the idea of being a dummy for the
display of Mr. Worth’s last creation.
