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. cauuifs, ThisistheToPoftheGaNuiNE Pearl Top Lamp Chimney.
