THE CHALET BY THE RIVER. By the river's rippling flow, Where the soft wind# fragrant blow, And the shadows (stretch below; Where the fUhea come and go. And the (stately swan otrda lave 1b the green and sunny wave. My love und 1 togetlier, 'Mid golden summer weather. Laughed and Rang the hours away. Where the Runshine dreaming lay. In the Chalet by the river! There we w atched each little boat, Gnyly laden past ns float: As we heard each mellow note From the wing bird s downy throat. Trilling all the long day through ’Neath the hazy summer blue. Where the cloud boats Idly fly O’er the river of the sky. In our hearts deep rapture sank. Ak from love's sweet cup we drank. In the Chalet by the river! When the tender gloaming fell With shadowy mystic spell. Over river, vale and dell. In deep solitude to dwell. My love and I fond plighted Our vows, in bliss united, While our hearts sweet rhythm kept As the moonlight softly crept Slyly through the latticed rail, Ust'ning to love’s happy tale In the Chalet by the river! — Anna, Cotntesse de Bretnont. INSECT TORMENTS OF BRAZIL Progress In Central Asia. As an illustration of progress in cen tral Asia it may lie mentioned that while, a few years ago, the traveler was likely to lx* killed by the natives, he is now in greater danger of being smashed up in a railroad accident. A train on the Trans- Caspian road was upset a few weeks ago near Samarcand and five people killed. They happened to he train hands and Europeans, but had they been Moham medan pilgrims, who now employ this modern method of expediting their jour ney to Mecca, there might have been a great outcry against this infidel inven tion for killing off the faithful. The in troduction of collisions on the Central Asian railroad will make tourists thought ful, for such occurrences, remote from civilized comforts, have their great dis advantages.—New York Bun. Ono Way to Catch Monkeys. A mso mentioned as successful in the capture of these imitative animals does not, however, hear upon it the stamp of probability. It consists of placing a basin of strong salt water before a party of wild monkeys. The ‘'sportsman” then retires a couple of dozen yards, and, having pro vided himself with a similar IjowI of clear ■water, proceeds to rub it on his face and eyes. Ilis actions aro closely followed by the animals, with the result that the strong brine so effectually blinds them for the time that they may be easily noosed and secured. We heard this from an old sailor who had seen it done.— Once a Week. To Prevent Kailway Collisions. An Australian jrt said to have designed a truck to ho run before every train, at an adjustable distance, by an electric current transmitted from a dynamo on the engine. If the truck comes in col lision with any body in front certain glass tubes, in which the current is con ducted, are broken. The current is thus broken, and at the same moment the brakes of the train are automatically ap plied. This may or may not be a work ing discovery, still there is sure to be some method, ere long, for making high speed travel almost absolutely secure.— Globe-Democrat. Looking at a Dried Tear. Tho principal element in the composi tion of a tear, as may readily be sup posed, is water. The other elements are salt, soda, phosphate of lime, phosphate of Soda and mucus, each in small pro- portions. A dried tear seen through a microscope of good average power pre sents a peculiar appearance. The water, after evaporation, leaves behind it the saline ingredients, which amalgamate and form themselves into lengthened cross lines, and look like a number of minute fish hones.—Good Housekeeping. Creeping Pests Which Lodge Tnder the SUn and Must Be Cut Out. { 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 scientific fashion. Brazil is specially favored with parasitic torments, and even if those who aro to the manner born become case hardened, the traveler fr6m climes wh*?re insect life is less of fensive in its attacks can never he wholly reconciled to his lot. Even the most generous of Christians harbors a revenge ful spirit against his bloodthirsty hut minute assailants, which are at once puny and powerful. Take the hush tick, for example. Of this diminutive monster there are three species, of which the largest is about j three-quarters 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 acquaintance, j There are three varieties: Ixodes ricinus, ; Ixodes plunitx'us and Ixodes reticulatus. j The Latin name was derived from its supposed resemblance to the ripe bean of , the Palma Christi. The Brazilian name is carrapato, and when examined under a magnifying glass it is seen to l>e fur- i nislied with a weapon of Offense in tho ; 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 quanti ties of the eggs are laid upon the ground, and the young ones as they creep out climb up the plants anil catch at any passing animal which brushes past, and fatten on it. When Mr. 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 in- lliction is so dreadful that horses and cattle 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 suf fering from shingles. Sometimes the attacks bring on ricinian fever, just as in Russia people may suffer from pu- licious fever. The rainy season kills many of the carrapatos, and they also fall a prey to tho birds; and the cinema, in particular, is never shot by the na tives, because they know the value of its services in thinning the ranks of the multitudinous blood sucking Ixodes. Another insect torment of Brazil is the jigger, or Pulex irritans, Pulex subin- trans, 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). Mr. II. C. Dent had live of these unwelcome guests fi’om January to June, and they took up their abode in the following localities: Tho first on the right big toe, second on the right heel, third on the left heel and two under tho sole of the left foot, lie had to cut them out. Still 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 tho skin, after the fashion of the ox warble. Sir Richard Burton says that stories are current of negroes losing their lives from the berno. The grub is de posited in the nose and other parts of the body, and if squeezed to death instead of extracted, it festers and produces serious consequences. Children three months old may suffer from a visitation of the berno. Some of the natives, in tho case of adults, apply a burning stick to the wound in order to destroy the worm. Mercurial ointment is also used. Mr. Dent's clog was one mass of-sores from the bernos and bichos de pe, and it was pitiable to see him, when running about, turn round almost every minute and, with a pitiful whine, bite his wounds until they were raw. Such are some of the pleasures of the insect world of Bra zil.—New York Star. COLE’S SEED COTTON ELEVATOR DRUGS I OCOOCOSO oocoo DR. J. T.

Different Kinds of Courage. Illustrative of the different kinds of courage observable in different races. Lord Wolseley tells us that at the storm ing of Lucknow our trevps found them selves in presence of a gate house, from the upper stories of which a severe fire was kept up on them. The only access to the upper stories was hy some very narrow winding staircases, hardly admit ting one man at a time. The English soldiers shrank for a moment from what seemed certain death. But the Sikhs rushed in, went up the staircases with- I out a moment's hesitation, and in five minutes had thrown every rebel out of the windows. Yet the Sikhs would not have stood up man to man against Eng- . lish infantry. Then is also the courage * peculiar to certain individuals and cer tain races which arises from contempt for death and the belief that it only leads to a better and happier life.
