SNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.

!*c Xl*iit Haiti and Kill
the Peat* with Salt.
A plague of snails, or slugs, aa the af
flicted people call them, lately atrnck
Jeffersonville, Ind., In full force, and
instances are cited where persona have
been compelled to mote. Their first
appearance was after the flood of Feb
ruary, 18&4, but they have never been
so bad aa at present. The pesta art
not exactly like a snail, but resemble
them In some respects. They have no
shells and are night raiders, Bays tha
New York World.
At no place In the city where the
flood water failed to reach has one of
the slugs been seen, but in the most
fashionable quarters the peats are
numerous. In size they range from
one to six inches in length, being from
a quarter to an inch in diameter. It ia
not until ten o'clock at night that the
snails come out of their hiding places,
under houses, and slug hunting parties
have become fashionable.
Armed with a lamp and a cup of salt,
the people hunt for the pest, and when
a slug is found its days are numbered,
for the smallest particle of salt means
death. The more salt the quicker the
work.
They leave behind a slimy track, that
furnishes a clew to their movements.
In some places fine carpets have been
ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
One of the most peculiar character
istics of the slugs is their ability to get
their large bodies through a small
ipace. They flatten out almost as thin
es a knife blade, allowing them to crawl j
Ihrovgb a good sized door crack.

WHEN TOGO WAS YOUNG.
Example of the Japanese Admiral’*
Alertness of Mind Given in
Boyhood Days.
A retired English naval officer, who
when a lad, was on board the training j
ship Worcester, at the same time as the
future Japanese Admiral Togo, accord- |
ing to the Rochester Herald, tells tha
following reminiscences:
“Togo was constantly the victim of a!!
manner of chaff from the young British
ers on board, who called him ‘One-go
two-go-three-go.’ Disliked at first,
perhaps because he was unlike his
mates, he grew in popularity on account j
of his remarkably alert mind and agile
body, until at length he became a gen
eral favorite with officers and boys.
“He stood all chaff with a certain
amount of bravado, unless it touched
on his resemblance to the Chinese. To
one fellow sailor who dubbed him a
Chinaman, he said, with emphasis: j
'When I am “the” admiral, I hang you
to the yardarm.’
“One day Togo had his leave stopped
for some small offense. ‘Liberty boys
to go ashore,’ was piped, and the boys
went up to him and said: ‘Areyou to go?’
‘No,’ he replied. Immediately the young
sters got around him and pinched him,
for telling lies, shouting at the same
time: ‘You are Togo.* 1
i “His praenomen being rather difficult
to pronounce, Togo was told by one of
: the boys to shoot his godfather and god.
mother on his return home. ‘We do not
shoot gods In Japan,’ was hU reply.”
