Involuntary Passengers That at Times Travel on Shipboard-Insects and Animals That Voyage All Over the Civilized World. Many strange and weird things in habit foreign bound ships in the form of animals and insects that are rarely suspected and never seen by the ordi nary passenger. Most people are aware that the presence of rats on board ship is inevitnble. whether the vessel be of wood or iron. Indeed, sailors consider them safe shipmates and sure signs that the vessel is seaworthy and not in danger of sinking. The sight of rats deserting a ship is sufficient to discourage any sailor from going on board for a trip; but, on the other hand, too many rodents on board spoil everything. Numbers make them bold, and instead of staying in the hold where the cargo is stored they in vade the sailors' quarters and even make their apearance in the captain's cabin. But rats are not by any means the only strange visitors that travel in ships withput the consent of either owner or captain. There are many in sects that migrate from one cuarter of the globe to another by means of the vessels which ply between distant ports. Indeed, the spread of nearly all kinds of living creatures has been de pendent on the ships of civilized na tions. Winged pests and blessings have been steadily carried to new countries by this means. Not long ago a ship from one of the tropical countries was followed by a swarm of butterflies, which persistent ly hovered round the rigging of the ves sel until the shore was lost in the mists; then the insects alighted on the masts and decks. A few disappeared in the night and were destroyed in the water or reached shore safely. Some of the others hid away in the cabins and hold of the ship. After a trip of some thirty days the vessel reached England, and from their hiding places in the ship a few of these butterflies emerged and flew ashore. Thus an entirely new species of butterfly was introduced into the country. Cockroaches are too- ancient an importation to be worthy of more than a passing notice. Grain carrying ships are overrun with weevils, and these grubs do an immense amount of harm to the cargoes. Ships engaged in fruit carrying from warm countries are often visited by a miscellaneous collection of queer crea tures. Concealed in the bunches of bananas/there may be poisonous rep tiles and insects that have traveled half round the globe. They may sting or bite the hand of some receiver of fruit or they may be killed before they have inflicted any harm. Sometimes, however, they escape ashore, and if the new country proves congenial to thei growth and multiplication they may in a very short time establish a progeny that will eventually spread in all di rections. Poisonous snakes of the trop ics have thus been introduced into lands where none was ever known to exist before. Moths of a destructive nature constantly come to this and other countries in the fruit slrips, and their spread is only a matter of time and opportunity. They are visitors that cause zmo trou ble to the sailors, who are very often not even aware of their presence on board, but they prove expensive to the farmers and inhabitants of the land where they become established. -Even flowers and plants from other countries bring with them new mi grants in the shape of brugs, bees and other insects. Concealed in the blos som or curled up leaf of the plants, they remain dormant during the long voyage, but when they reach a land where climate and surroundings are conducive to their propagation and active growth they come forth to estab lish themselves in the land of their adoption. Thus from the West Indies we have brought insects by the hundreds con ealed in the beau'tiful Easter lily blossoms, and from all parts of the world strange insects bidden away in the cuplike bloom of orchids, which hunters risked their lives to secure,. hav~e been introduced in our midst to work destruction or add to our pleas res. Not all visitors on our incom ing ships are obnoxious. Some are of distinct value to our country, and their introduction in this secret way very often works out successfully problems of great public and commercial value. Most travelers to India and China will remember the revulsion of feeling with which they were seized on first detecting a scorpion or mosquito in their soup at luncheon or dinner. Some of the liners which are kept con stantly for the. traffic from Aden to Bombay and known as the Red sea boats are never free from these pests. With the tramp ships that visit the south Pacific monkeys and parrots are the most common visitors. It is a very frequent occnrrence, after a "tramp' has not touched at any port for a weeki or so, for the sailors to find that their food is continually being stolen. They know at once that monkeys' are on board. A vigorous search is instituted, with the result that at least o11e mon key is shortly afterward foua:d, an~ sometimes half a dozen. Thes~e ani mais resist capture at first, but soon accept the inevitable and becom~e in a very short time great chums with the saiors. When England is reached ,ack takes them ashore and dispose of the-n for ready cash to diealers ii the neighborhood of the docks.

The State Board of Education at 0 recent meeting revised the list of col leges whose diplomas exempt grad. uates from teachers' examinations and declared illegal all certificates issued on diplomas from schools and colleges not included in the list.

The board also decided to include in the next teachers' examination, questions from Hughe's Mistakes ir Teaching, Peterman's Civil Govern. ment and Current History, and rec ommend that the teachers read the Vision of Sir Launfal and the Last o the Mohicans between now and th( examination. The State Superin tendent directs ine to urge the teach ers to procure all of these books i possible, but at least see that all gel ilughe's Mistakes in Teaching anc Peterman's Civil Government. These two I have on hand and the others : will get with pleasure on short no tice. The Little Chronicle, publishei in Chicago, is recommended for cur rent history.

S DEAR SIR:-Please say through your paper to the peo ple and our customers and friends that I am here with the cash in hand hunting goods to suit 5 and 6-cent cotton. ' Never. before have I been in such a position to get goods like I~am getting them now. The fall in the price of cotton has certainly changed things up here, so many merchants from the South are not coming to New _ York this spring or not until very late. and I never have 3 had such values offered me. Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of goods were bought by these wholesalers; abefore cotton went down and now as the goods are on hand and must be sold, they are cutting the price on some. N things to almost half and there are so many small lots or jobs-lots that they offer as baits to try and do the busi ness. I wish I had one hundred stores to buy for. I have . just closed a trade on a lot of shoes at less than the actnalb .4 sales cost. These are only baits they are offering to-attch me on regular goods or to get all my business. I be've bought hats so cheap that if .after I get'-home and" get:._ ! them in if any one will come to me and show me that they. 3 are not able to buy a hat I will gladly give him one. - I have made arrangements with Mr. Finlayson\of '450 Broadway to handle those "oldefolks" Bibles at $1. _ have big lot of them.

Worshipers of Strange Gods. Snake worshipers are more , imer 3us than river worshipers in the Pun jab. They have always been a large denomination in heathen countries. Why they worship snakes is a problem that has been frequently discussed to mo particular purpose. But people who worship owls, bats, lobsters, rats and mice will worship anything, and per baps anake worshipers are so common merely because snakes are so widely distributed and so far from exclusive in their habits. If a man worships an opossum or an ornithornycus, he must go to Australia to do so, but serpents i are everywhere. So is the earth (Prithi), and the earth, as Hertha. Demeter and under many other names, has never wanted adorers. Even the untutored Pawnees are earth worshipers and bury articles by way of sacrifice, ivhich is more eco nomical than burning them, as they can be dug up again. The ancestral moun'd is a good deal adored in the Punjab. In Scotland it became the fairy hill. as at Aberfoyle, and was treated witli conspicuous respect in times comparatively modern. The church was usually built as near it as possible, perhaps to counteract the in fluence of the ancestral mound or to acquire any local sacredness that might be going.-London News. The Ballot and Offee. In 1777 it was written into the con stitution of Vermont that "the house of freemen of this state shall consist of persons most noted for wisdom and virtue, to be chosen by ballot, by the freemen of every town in this state." Time and conditions have lowered our standard. We are content with average wisdom and average virtue, and in years of apathy virtue and wis dom are quite forgotten, and we elect whom the machine nominates. Rota tion in office, party control of nominat ing machinery, the ambitions of cor porations and of party leaders-these are the forces that move the pawns on the legislative chessboard. Under the political conditions which the majority of the voters tolerate can we expect the legislature of a state to be com posed of the best men of the com munity? And we know that the real danger of the democracy is the with drawal of intelligent and humble men from public duties.-S. P.

Georgo Reno, an American newspa per man who went to Havana and ob tained work on a daily paper there, did not get on well with, the managing editor, a former Chicago physician. They disliked' each other extremely, and the editor took particular pleasure in mangling Reno's copy beyond all recognitenu. One night Reno protest ed at some blue penciling that was done. "I recognize your right to edit my stuff, doctor," said he, "but I must beg you to do so in such manner that you will not split all of the infinitives. In this Instance you have made my copy over into a bundle of phraseolog ical kindling wood." In reply, from the erudite managing editor: "You seem to be worrying yourself over a mere trife, Mr. Reno.

Some writers have claimed that the woodcock Is sure in his flight, never becoming entangled in briers or creep ing vines when in swift flight through close cover. That may have been their experience, but is not mine. I have seen' woodcocks when flushed in such spots become so entangled that they were forced to cease flying and drop to the ground to again make a new start in fying. I .remember one old fellow that sat hidden before the estand of one of my setters until I almost step ped on him and then, rising nearly into my face, got tangled in a clump of fronweed and fell at my feet. Had I been so disposed I could have caught him in my hands, but my desire was to see if he was injured. and a moment later he proved that he was only a badly frightened woodcock, as he dart ed away through cover while I watch ed and l-aughed ,at him.-Amateur Sportsman.'
