TAR THE SLEEPS NOSES.

In August and September, and perhaps the
latter part of july a fly, which is very trouble
some to sheep lays eggs in their nostrils which
are Matched, and the Young worms ascend into
their heads where they become very distressing
often causing death, unless some powerful rem
edy be applied to cause their election. The bet
ter way is TO prevent the evil
Tar is considered the best remedy. By tar
ring the sleeps noses the injury will be avoid
ed. Tha better way to effect this object is to
lay tar on boards in troughs in sheltered sit
uation, and then strew on salt, and the sheep
will perform the operation of smearing, or take
stick of timber dress the upper side, and bore
some barge atger holes two or three inches deep,
put some salt in these holes and oneea week, or
oftener, put araround the edges of the holes.
Sheep suffer much from these flies at the time
they are assaulted, and they often run with their
noses to the ground in order to avoid these vexa-
tous flies, Or they will run their noses into the
dust when an opportunity presents-for this pur-
pose some persons plough up the earth on spots
often trequened by the sheep in hot weather
The application Of tar, as here recommended
is conducive to the health of sheep, otherwise
by preventing the evil we have named. 1t is
good for colds and other disorders.

THE HABIT OF READING.


The young should always cultivate habit of
reading, for it may be to them, not only the
means of information, but the perennial source
OF many of the finest enjoyments Of life. They
who make good books their constant compan-
ions, will never want good and faithful friends
in their prosperous days, or those who will sym
pathise in the seasons of reverse. There can be
no blank in the lives of those persons Who from
active love, hold daily fellowship with the wisest
and best of their race We think we could hard
ly be tempted to exchange our habit of reading
for any other friend it may be our fortune to find
on earth. And we are sure that any who will
make this habit a friend, will ever esteem it a
mong the wisest steps Of their lives and so we
counsel the young, from our own experience a.
mong all their gettings in this world, to getting
the habit, the love of reading-and always have
at hand a good book with which to fill up every
leisure hour. In this way they may come to
know that the gems OF life are found in its waste
places

Death summons the debtor, and he lays down

SINGULAR cIRCuMsrANTIAL EVIDENCE

Dl4\G ULA1t CiatlsD MD EN- lAL EN- lIENIE.
Our readers will doubtless remember an ac-
count OF shocking murder, which appeared in
our columns few weeks ago, as having been re-
Gently pelpetrated in the county of Putnam.
Mr.. David Ross, very wealthy and prominent
citizen Of that county, was returning fngp bis
factory on the Ozone river, to his family residence
about halt mile erthlee quarters distant, at nine
O'Clock on dark night. While passing through
the swamp on foot and alone, he was shot dead
with double barrel gun, in the hands OF some
person unknown. One OF the charges tooss effect
Ill the head, and the other in the body of the
deceased. The ASSASSIN stood so near as to burn
his victim with powder. The co1oners jury,
after patient and laborious investigation, rem
dered verdict, charging son of Mr., Ross with
the murder. We learn from citizen of Putnam
that one of the circumstances which led to this
conclusion. was the examination OF one of the
wads with which the gun was loaded. 1t ap-
peared in evidence, that the deceased was the
only subscriber to the Macon Telegraph in his
neighborhood; and upon close examination, it
was discovered that one ofthe wads was compos.
ed of piece of paper. And we learn from a.
mother source, that the number of the paper from
which the wad was torn was found IN a shot-bao
which had been used by young Ross, on the
same day the murder was committed The
piece was compared, and fitted so completely as
to satisfy the jury the wad mad Seen taken from
the same paper found in the shot-bag This, e
understand, was one ofthe strongest circumstau-
ces that settled suspicion on the young man.

FACTS ABOUT INAUGURATION

A writer in the Boston Medical Journal states
the following facts, which he says have beer
collected from authentic statistics:
l. Th.t the longevity of the pure African is
greater than that Of the inhabitants of any other
portion Of the globe.
2. That the mulattoes, i. c. those born of pa
rents one being African and the other Caucasian
or white, are decidedly the shortest lived of any
class Of the human race
8. That mulattoes are more liable to die under
the age of IS, than the whites Or blacks between
those aees--trom 40 to Sc, so to land so tc
70, 100 to /.
4. That the mortality of the free people Of
color an the United States is more than 100 pei
cent. greater than that of the slaves.
5. That those of unmixed African extraction
in the "tree States" are not more liable to sick
ness or premature death than the whites of their
own rank and condition in society, but that the
striking mortality so manifest among the free
people Of ceor, is in every community and sec.
ton ofcoantry invariably confined to the mulat-
toes.

HOW TO RUIN A SON.

4. Give him full access to wicked compan-

5. Call him to no account of his evenings.

GROWTH OF OUR CIrlEs.-The growth of A,
merlcan cities is unparalleled in the history of
the world. Already half million are embraced
within the limits and suburbs of New York and
nearly four hundred thousand in those OF Phila.
delphia. New Orleans contains about enc hun
dred and fifty, Boston one hundred and thirty,
and Baltimore one hundred and five thousand
inhabitants. The second child born in Cinnin-
natl, it is said, is still living, and has not vet
reached the middle age Of life, and the city has
population of more than one hundred thousand
The population of St. Louis was one thousand
six hundred in 1910; sixteen thousand in 1870
forty thousand in 1915 and is now probably
not less than sixty thousand Buffalo contained
two thousand four hundred and twelve in 1895;
in 1916, twenty-nine thousand seven hundred
and seventy-three and now contains about for.
ty-ive thousand. In 1928, the population of
Lowell was three thousand five handred and
thirty-two; it is now more than thirty thousand.
Chicago, place scarcely known on the latest
maps, has already reached a population of eigh-
teen thousand and Milwaukee, ofstill more re.
cent origin, is rivalling it in its growth and ropuy
lation.
