"Lam deeply interested in the extermin-
atienoa rabbits in Australia and New-Zeaa,
lama, ,and ad's on my way to those colottioa
to watch the passing of the new -act in New
Scuth Wales," said Charles W. Kent, of
Loudon, tan other night,
"You would like some statistical ? To
commence with, on careful ceaculation it is
now settled that two rabbits in ten yettra
will multiply to 70,000,000. That is a
moderate figure. Rabbits have particular
advantages for thriving in Australis, and
heve usea those advantages for forty years,
since they were introduced. In New South
Wales the Governreent expeaded over
$4,000,000 from 1883 to 1890 endeavoring
to exterminate them. Besides that a greater
suni has been expended in private money.
In one year 25,280,000 skim had royalty
paid upon them.
"Now, there is another side to this ques-
tion of extermination, and that is the rabbit
killer's and the rabbit -skin dealer's inter-
ests. A killer gets 2 cents a bead royalty
from the Government for destroying the
animal's life. He then sells the skin at hem
4 to 6 cents. On the meat, at the eanntng
factories, he averages from 2 to 4 cents. It
is a nice, easy way of making money. The
skins are bale pressed and exported to Lon-
don, In that city there is a general auction
sale of skins every six weeks. The fiales
average from 1,500 to 2,000 bales, and the
average to a bale is 200 skina.
"There are ten companies in Auatralia
and four in New -Zealand engaged in the
rabbit -skin trade. Of these one-half add
the meat-eanning to their business. You
will understand, therefore, that there is a
big monopoly which is not at all anxious to
eee the rabbits exterminated. Interested
with it is a very largo number of the popu-
lation who find rabbit -killing more remuner-
ative and less hard. work t Ilan farming.
"Pasteur endeavored to exterminate the
rabbits by inoculation with chic:ken eholera.

that be did not got a fair trial, and, in fact,

SPREAD OF THE CHOLERA.
An 0 rphanage in Asti ahhan for the Chil-
dren of 1fte11ni8 of the maaue.
A St. Petersburg despatch says :-Re-
ports f ram Charkoff say that the cholera
there is still of a mild form, although the
mortality is increasing. More deaths are
reported from the outskirts than at the cen-
tre of population. In Astrakhan the Govern-
ment has established an orphanage for chil-
dren whose parents have been carried off by
the disease.
In Nishni-Norgorod and Astrakhan in-
flammatory literature has been distributed
in the last few days, apparently for the pur-
pose of inciting the people to a repetition
of the riots in the latter city. Two suspects
have been arrested ha Nislini-Novgorod and
seven in Astrakhan.
Disinfection of mail matter has begun sys-
tematically in several cities.
A newspaper correspondent, who has just
returned from the Russian Caucasus, says
that the deaths from cholera in that region
in the last thirty days number 50,000. In
the villages the people are unable to bury
their dead, and the bodies lie in the houses
for days, polluting the air and spreading
the disease.
As practically no sanitary measures are
enforced to stay the progress of the disease,
the correspoialent thiuks that hundreds of
thousands will have perished before there
can be any reasonable hope of an abatement
of the scourge.

A Terrible Tragedy.
The death of Lady Mary Vyner recalls a
terrible tragedy of nearly a quarter of a
century since. One day London was start-
led to hear that a party of ladies and • gen-
tlemen, including Lora and Lady Muncas-
ter and several members of Athens embas-
sies, had been captured by lnigancis while
up country on a short excursion, and that
Lord Muncaster had been released to ar-
range it heavy ransom, in default of which
the captives would have a short shrift. No
ono attached much importance to the
threats, and the Greek Government, with
characteristic want of good faith, tried to
avoid the payment cf the rausom by com-
passing the arrest of the brigands. The
latter, through their friends aft Athens,
were apprised of the ee'leine, and t;aezaupon
murclet,ia &Ca of their prilsonets mad
blood -Mr. Herbert, of the English Lega-
tion kir. Frederick - Grantham Vyner, Mr.
Lloyd, and the Count de Boyl. The affair
created a deep sensation in this country, and.
the Greek Government was roused to such
energetic Irma:gimes that nearly all the band
of outlaws vienrcaptured, brolight to trial,

their lives.

Dr -T. E. Hastings,
of Baltimore, says:
"Ayer's Pills are the
best oaths -ft -le and
aperient within the
reach of my profes•
sion."
Dr. John W. Brown, of Oceano., W.
Va., writes: "I have prescribed Ayer's
Pills in my practice, and find them ex-
cellent. I urge their general use in
families."
For a number of years 1 was afflicted
with biliousness which almost destroyed
my health. I tried varioue remedies,
but nothing afforded nie any relief until
I began to take Ayer's Pills." -G. S.
Wanderlioh, Scranton, Pa.
"I have used Ayer's Pills for the past
thirty years, and am satisfied I should
not be alive to -day if it had not been
for them. They cured nie of dyspepsia
when all other remedies failed, and their
occasional use has kept xne in a healthy
condition ever since."-- T. P. Brown,
Chester, Pa.
"Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills,
and deeut it both a duty and a pleasure
to testify that I have derived great ben-
efit from their use. For over two years
past I have taken one of these Pills
every night before retiring. I would not
willingly be without them." - G. W.
Bowman, 26 East Main st., Carlisle, Pa.
"Ayer's Pills have been used in my
fatally upwards of twenty years, mid
have completely verified all that is
claimed for them. In attacks of piles,
from which I suffered many years, they
afforded me greater relief than any med-
ioine I ever tried." -Thomas F. Adams,
