ueatner beaten, ramshackle houses, sor-
rounded by neglected gardens, lields and
orchards. Yards encumbered with old
wagons, a bony, superannuated horse,
grazing at will, and the presence of un
couth individuals show, what we would
otherwise scarcely suspect, that these are
the dweiliug places of human being,. In
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the
dwellers in these isolated rookeries and
mountnin cabins belong to a class whose
standards are far below those of the ordi
nary illiterate laborer—a class that is
considered hardly within the pale of our
civilization. The children of this class
are dull often to Idiocy. This and their
irregular attendance at school accounts
for tho fact that they are furnished with
the barest rudiments of knowledge.
Catherine Sedgwick speaks of these as
“people who hang on the outskirts of
civilization,’' and comments on their dia
lect and peculiar manners.
A gentleman of unquestioned veracity
says that in one of the families there
were not as many articles of clothing os
there were children, and on the rare ap
proach of a team the . unclad ones scut
tied like so many rabbits into the hushes
The mother made “bread" by stirring
water Into flour and throwing this paste
on the stove. In summer the children
fed, like the babes in tho wood, mostly
on berries. There was hut one chair,
which was occupied by the father. The
mother, after throwing the potatoes out
of tho pot, made it do duty os a chair.
Another numerous trilie, living near tins
one, had hut one bed.
Tho picturesqueness of the street gamin
is lacking among the children of tills
class. They are positively repulsive.
One of them, I remember, was dis
tinguished from all the rest by a certain
fawn like grace and shyness, and an ex
pression of great saduess in her dark
eyes. Ono cold day I walked with her
toward her cheerle s home. Bitter winds
blow her straight, dark hair about her
pale, thin face; no shoes protected her
feet from the ground, and only a thread
bare waterproof cape was thrown over
her calico gown. At first she was very
reticent, but by and by growing com
municative among other things she told
mo that one of her brothers had died the
winter before. "Ho set his clothes on
fire an' got burnt awful Bitneby m'
gran’father and m' -Uncle Ding came in,
an'm' father he took the quilt offen Si
to show urn. They want no fire, an’ Si
got awful bad an’ hollared an’ hollared.
Then gran'father on’ Ding an’ pa they
started to get the doctor, but they forgot
to, an’Si he died, an’the hide cum all
often him.” The lack of feeling in the
child’s tone and face os she related this
story told but too plainly of her blunted
moral sense and of the distortion of
natural affection. That her brother's
death should be due to carelessness was
to her, a* much a matter of course as that
frost should blight flowers.
Last winter a babe belonging toon*
tribe was left alone tn a cold house, tt
crept out into the deep snow, where it
was found by a passer by, crying bit
terly. Its mother, when informed ef the
fact, not only made no excuse, but
showed no pain at the thought of her In
fant's sufTering. One family in Great
Barrington was discovered living on tbe
flesh of an old dead hone. The women
have none of that faculty known in
Yankeedom ns "gumption." They waste,
or do not adapt to their wants, what Is
given to them. On Beartown mountain
I have seen a 8-year-old boy tripping
down the hUl in a 15-year-old. girl's
dress.
Missionaries are needed among these
tribes—not the sort that degrade sacred
things by issuing such invitations as
“come and grab Jesus,’’ but intelligent,
earnest and sympathetic men. Let us
mourn less over the fate of the Fadflo
heathen and the dense ignorance of the
Tennessco mountaineer while such a
beam remains in our eyes ss the godless
and illiterate condition of these tribes.—
Lee (Mass.) Cor. Boston Herald.
Upmr litre and EUewhtre.
Dr. Han ten, the Norwegian discoverer
of Uie bacillus of leprosy, came over to
this country s while ago to trace the his
tory of leper immigrants who had settled
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota.
Of 160 original leper Immigrants ho was
able to find only 13; a few more may bo
living, but nearly 147 are dead. Of aU
their descendants, so for os great-grand
children, not one lias become a leper. In
tills country tliodiseaso does not increase
nor does it appear to be hereditary. The
failure to spread hero U thought to be
due to the improved conditions of living
which the immigrants ore able to secure
on tills side of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector, in speaking of
■er lately found at Brentwood, Eng
t says tliat many person* believe that
leprosy has entirely disappeared from
England, yet there has probably never
been a year in whicli a score of lepers
could not be produced, and that, though
England used to have lepers enough,
leprosy hss become e very rare disease
■inco English homes and English roods
hare been kept dean.—Science.
Bat Plagues.
Tho plague which the agriculturists of
England are now suffering from tbe rav
ages of rats is not without precedent in
Canada. The nearest approach to this
rat plague is the plague of mice which
visited Prince Edwanl Island and Nova
Scotia in the early part of the century.
As long ago as 1699 the umluo prevv
Ience of mloe in Prince Edward Island,
or the Island of St. John as it was then,
called, was noted by tho French settlers;
and in 1774, both on that Island and on
the adjacent main land, a complaint
aroee that these animals were again too
numerous and tx> familiar. In the lat
ter year tbe mice visited the fields and
ate up everything, including the pota
toes. and having finished this disastrous
work they turned their attention to liter
ature and consumed tlie leather binding
of tile settlers' books.-OUax a Telegram.
