BOERS AND THE LOCUSTS, * Wfcy They Refuse to Exterminate These Seath Africaa Pests, J. A correspondent writes of the numerons swarms of locusts which from time to time settle on South African farms, / and the method by which the farmers destroy them. The locusts cover everything:, and are described as blotting out the sun In their flight till It seemed shining through an orange mist The rush of their wings fills the air with sound li^e the roaring of a storm through a pine forest, and the bodies of those which, wearied with flight, fell to the earth covered the ground like a living can>ot Seen at a little distance, .the main body of the swarm resembles a snowstorm, the wings diaphanous in the sunlight, drifting along - before the wind, cr sinking softly toward the ground. It is impossible to ride through the living mass, as the buffeting of the face and hands of the rider becomes intolerable. As seen from behind the swarm is visible for miles, i trailing across the country like a big band of smoke floating along before the EK breeze. When the swarm alights it destroys every green blade of vegetation, and leaves behind it a track of ruin and desolation. A method of dealing with the pests with fair effectiveness, even in the fully developed flying insect stage,, has been discovered In the colony. A fungus has been found which thrives rapidly on their > bodies with invariably fatal effect. The disease ^preads with extraordinary rapidity, and if once a swarm be lnfect| ed the whole mass of Insects disappears In a few days' time. Cultures of the ^ fungus are supplied to the farmers by ~ the government, and when a swarm approaches a neighborhood all the fa5*-' mer has to do is to ride out with' a A can of the material aDd a sprinkler of | " twigs, and sprinkle it herfc-and there on the insects as they fly past hlny: In a few days there will be an end of that particular swarm. It is mentioned as characteristic of the local Dutch, that they refuse to have anything to do with the new method of exerminats ing what is one of the greatest obstacles to successful farming In South Arfriea. They say God created the locusts and It is sinful to destroy them. ' A Cartons Accident %g;: At Sheffield, England, recently, a cu|| rlons accident occurred. A passenger |p|-. was riding on a double deck electrical !|v\' v car, and a single deck car passed in the ' opposite direction. The rope of the ^ trolley boom of the latter was flying fl; In the wind, and it wound itself around the passengers* neck. Fortunately he bad the presence of mind to seize the |X rope with both hands and release himself, or he would probably have been ply; pulled from the car. The Trust Problem. pj<r To^ thoughtful mind, the trust problem is jg.-" one of serious import.

"It's a shame," decided his friend Bob Townsend, as he heard the disappointed lover's story. "We think so much of each other," murmured Leslie, mournfully. "You ain't going to give up this way, are you?" asked Bob. Leslie looked up inquiringly. "What else cau I do?" he asked, "Marry her," said Bob. "Her father won't consent" "Suppose he don't." Leslie started, ^but shook his head slowly. "I know what you're hitting at. Bob ?an elopement." "You're right." "But it could not be." "Why not?" "Because Alice is bound to obey her father, and I am, too, for that matter." Bob scowled impatiently. "Nonsense!" he aspirated, angrily. "See here, Leslie.

"Granted." "Therefore, being In the right, and the old farmer in one of his mad moods, I'd outwit him." "How?" The query was encouraging. "Run away with Alice," said Bob. "1 can't." "Why not?" "Her father watches her too closely." "That's the only reason, is it?" "I believe so." ~ "She's willing?" "Presumably." "And you?" "O, Bob, you're talking nonsense! I might as well go ba^k to the city and wait until Mr. Smith changes his mind." "And let some other fellow have Alice. You're a brave lover!" * Leslie was despondent. "I have a plan, if you're plucky enough tofollow it out," suggested Bob. Leslie's face grew expectant at the hint. "What is it?" he asked. "Listen!" What Bob told the discouraged lover need not be repeated. The subsequent acts of the conspirators afford a suf ficient explanation. It was the next day that faithful Bot reconnoitered the ground, and founc that Farmer Smith had indeed taker due precaution to prevent liisdaughtei meeting or running away with Leslie But Bob managed to get a letter tc the fair prisoner?a letter after read ing which secretly she manifested hei acquiescence to its contents by an in telligent noil to the messenger. It was the afternoon of the day fol ^wing, just Farmer Smith had seni his two boys to the town with a loaf of potatoes, ai?d was seated, resting foi au hour or two, on the front porch with Alice industriously sewing b: his side, that a vehicle driven by. i ' - - * J XI. J single occupant came uowii iue ro;m Old Jabez looked in profound amaze ment as the vehicle came to a stop It was a kind of skeleton wagon, witt a double seat, and behind it was at tached a small rubber hose, with sev eral wheels distributed here au( there, near the axle. "In the name of wonder, what hav< we here?" he said, as he walked t< the gate. The driver sprang down. "Jabez Smith?" he asked. The farmer nodded a dignified as sent, little dreaming that the beardet stranger was Bob Townsend in dis guise. "I learn from inquiries in the viilng that you are quite a scientist. Mi Smith." Science, of which old Jabez kne\ nothing, but affected much, was hi salient point. Flattered by the Strang er's words, he replied pompously. "I reckon I know something a bout it. "I have come. Mr. Smith." said th stranger, "to show you a new motiv power for hay rakes." The farmer's face fell. "A patent right!" he muttered. * don't want to buy one," he said, alouc \ turning to re-enter the house. "Buy one!" replied the stranger. "This is not for sale, sir." declare i Bob, with quiet dignity. "I desireyou opinion as a scientist in regard to th principles involved in its eoustructio and operations." The farmer's face grew please again. "Happy to give it, sir. If I can be c any use to tbe world at large by my knowledge oi science?" "Or make your fellow beings happy, you're ready to sacrifice your valuable time?eh, Mr Smith?" insinuated Bob. "Certainly, sir." "You can?you can, believe me sir," asseverated the wicked conspirator, earnestly and truthfully. "Have you a rake?" "Yes." "I'll help you bring it out here, and we'll make a trial trip of this wonderful machine." A few minutes later the farmer's hayrake was brought out. Bob made ; much ado of fastening it by a rope to J the rear of the vehicle, and the farmer j watched him curiously, as he turned | the wheels and adjusted the hose to j what he called i>osition. "This hose is an air brake, sir. The idea is, if we can make it do so, to have the rake operate as usual. The air brake" might ofler a resistance to the ground, push forward the front vehicle. ami ventilate the hay.

".Tump in, Alice," he said, desperately. The stranger whipped up the horse. Old Jabez, in the rake seat behind, clung on wildly as the horse was driven briskly. He almost fell forward as there was a break caused by the rope parting. Bob had deftly cut it with a knife. "Hold on?hold on!" cried old Jabez, as the new motor-power vehicle dashed forward. He stared blankly as it traversed the field, made a sharp turn to the road and, gracefully rounding a curve in the highway, disappeared from view. ^ What did it mean? The boys had taken the horses to town, and he could not start in pursuit; but he grew white as he discerned a fact; He had l>eeu tricked! He had cooled down considerably when, at nightfall, a carriage drew up before the gate. He looked grimly up from beneath his shaggy eyebrows as Leslie Austin and pretty, blushing Alice came forward. Bob, following them, was the first to speak. "The new motor power took up a new passenger down the road. Farmer Smith,." he said slyly. "You wanted to make mankind happy, neighbor?you'te done it." Jabez made a feint to declare hostilities, then and there, against the conspirators, but he sank back disarmed in his chair as the gentle voice of his wife said, pleadingly: "Forgive them, father?they are so happy!" And Farmer Smith had not the heart to say nay. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. ! Never speak evil of any one. Earn money before you spend it. Good character is above all things else. t .

Cfficial circles iu Berlin, Germany, attach little importance to the communication of the Chinese minister at Washington, dated June 29th. At best it is interpreted as an attempt to gloss over the recent outrageous deeds. A number of statements made in it are declared to be notoriously false, such as for instance, the representations regarding Baron Yon Ketteler'a death and the Taku seizure. The main objection urged in Berlin is that nobody knows whose government it is which the statement represents?whether the gvoarnment of the dowager empress and Kwang Hsu or that of Prince Tuan. The document bears date of June 29th, and nobody1 5 knows what government, if any, has since succeeded. FA I XT HOPES WANIXtf. London Grt* HesiNge Similar to One Sent Here By Uoodnow.

The use of horseflesh as food Is a subject which has been brought into prominence of late owing to the necessities to which the beleaguered garrisons in South Africa have been reduced. It is, therefore, a matter of general interest that certain butchers in San Francisco have been detected in using the flesh of the horse as a substitute for beef in the manufacture of sausages and other viands. There is nothing unwholesome in using the flesh of such a clean-feeding animal as the horse, but it is rightly considered that it should not be fpisted upon consumers in place of more expensive meats. In many Continental countries the sale of horseflesh for hu man food is considerable; but the but- I chers are licensed, and the animals are ', killed under proper sanitary conditions. The New York Medical Journal points out that it is comparatively easy to detect the presence of horse * in oncii smnll ouantlties as ,: mrai civ.u iu ^ 5 per cent The suspected meat is boiled for about an hour in a small quantity of water, which is afterward reduced by evaporation, cooled, and filtered. To this liquid a few drops of compound iodine solution (one part io-1 dine and twelve parts potassic iodide? in one hundred parts of water) is add-. ed, when a fugitive red-violet colora- j tion indicates the presence of horse i meat.?Chambers's Journal.
