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.
