Two women were poisoned near Chas-
ka, Mimi, and died in commissions, caused
by getting the poison of potato bugs into
sores in their hands.
An experiment made last year in Ger
many in planting potatoes, showed that
where the "eyes" had first been removed
the yield was four times as great as where
they had been left i'm their place. 1t was
found where an old eye had been rubbed
off three or four new ones made their APP
poarance.
"A medical journal says that the best
way TO kill flies is TO coat piece of board
with treacle, and when full of victims, TO
scrape them off, and renew the operation.
This Is infinitely preferable to all the arse
nical preparations so often recommended,
since flies will get away from them and die
on some alimentary substance prepared for
man, and thus introduce into ii the poison
which is the cause of their death.
An English paper publishes curious
list of the largest capitalists known to exist
in the world. The first is an American
manufacturer who has an income of ten
millions; the second Russian boyard (;
and the third an Englishman possessing
immense territories in the East Indies.
The Rothschilds only occupy the number
eleven on the list.
