Protecting Horses from Euos.-

A French pharmaceutical chemist
has discovered way to protect
horses from the attacks of flies, accor--
ding to a London medical paper.
His invention consists in rubbing the
horses, especially on the parts most
subject to attack, with little con-
centrated oil of laurel. There is not
the slightest danger in it's use, and
the cost is said to be very small.
Another rcpcllant suggested by the
same person is a solution Of sixty
grammcs Zone pound and five ounces
avoirdupois) Of assafetida in two
glasses of water and one of vinegar.
If horses be well washed with this,
not a fly will settle upon them, as the
strong odor Of the assafrtida drives
the flies away. This drug has no
deleterious qualities as an external
application, and may be used wahe. =
itatingly by horsemen.

A Terrible Experience.

A correspondent Of the Spring
field Republican says: "At one of
our quiet summer resorts the other
night, lady of delicate physique
was complaining that for a number
of years she had been unable to sleep
without taking some narcotic
Those who heard the remark were at
first tempted to condemn her for
having fritted away her strength in
the pleasures of society, until her
story, quietly and modestly told,
showed that she had been through
scenes of trial and suffering that
might affect the stoutest. The wife
of United States naval officer, it
was her fate few years since to be
on her way to join her husband at
some port on the Pacific coast of
South America at the time the great
earthquakes and tidal waves that
were so destructive to life and pro-
perty upon that coast. Her ship
had but just dropped anchor in a
Peruvian harbor when the tidal wave
came that wrenched her from her
mooring and swept her over a cliff
forty feet high into an inner harbor,
while before the eyes of our heroine
who was seated on the deck, the pop
ulous city fell down as if the block
creation of child. Fortunately the
ship, unlike its compcers i'll the har-
Dor, which were many of them dash
ed to pieces, had steam enough to get
out to sea with the receding wave,
though, dry land seemed to pursue
her for space in the retluX. Pro
ceeding down the coast that night,
town after town was found to have
been swallowed up by the earthquake.
How for weeks this woman in 4
strange land, where she did not
speak the language, sought her hus-
band. not knowing whether he was
alive or dead, and how he at dis
tant port longed and prayed for, and
ut last found her when she had al
most given him up; how they met
soon to part, as he was again called
away for months-here is a theme
for novelist. The nervous strain
on each has left inetfaceable marks
on their lives. Is it any wonder that
even in the soothing influence of this
glorious sea air, sleep comes but
slowly to the eyes that never close
but to see pictured anew the great
rush inland of mighty ocean, and
to hear the crushing of stone and
timber and the shrieks Of despairing
humanity as great city is swallow
ed up in the earth to the music of
many waters?'"

A Camel Story.

That some animals are very mind
full of an injury and eager for re-
venge, no matter how long delayed,
there is ample proof. All our young
readers remember the story of the
elephant who took the tailor's slight to
heart and gave that little gentleman
Il thorough drenching; and you may
also remember numbcrless stories of
how the same unwicldly beasts re-
membered injuries for years and
waited for chance of venting their
spite. But one Of the most remark
able eases on record is this one,
which we Gull from the columns of
Il literary Journal:
"A wear or two ago it chanced
that a valuable camel, working in the
oil mill, was severely beaten by its
driver, who, pcrceiving that the cam.
el had treasured up the injury and
was only waiting i favorable oppor
tunity for revenge, kept strict
watch on the animal. Time passed
ON. The camel percclVlnS that II
was watched, was quiet and obedien1
and the driver began to think that
forgotten, when one night, after the
lapse of several months, the man
who slept on the platform in the mill
whilst, as is customary, the camel was
stalled in a corner, happening to re
main awake, observed by the moon
light, that when all was quiet, thu
animal looked cautiously around

A Romance Of the Poeregs.

The death ofthc Hon Cambcn Mac

last Lord kirkcudbright, which has
just taken place, completes the cx-
tinction of a family of great antiqui-
ty, and at one time very powerful in
Galloway, Scotland, Of which they
were hereditary Sheriifs. The Mac
lellans are supposed to have emigra
ted from Ireland at q very early peri

in Galloway, in the reign of Alcxand-

and was very unlikely to make his
mark, as the man who had vcuched
for the genuineness of this epistle had
done. This objection naturally car
ried weight, and many people suspect
ed that the evidence of George Has
sci and Of the letter had been got up
by the Captain, who was anxious to
prove the man alive, and SO escape
from the odium which attached to
him.
Finally ship was sent to bring
this protesting Robert Jeffrey to
England, where he arrived in due
course, and proved to be the right
man safe enough, certain shyness
and diffidence which he felt in the
presence of the gentlemen who had
drawn up his report being the cause
Of his making cross instead of sign
ing it. He landed at Portsmouth in
the October of 1910, three years after
the event which had caused him to
become a public character. The Ad-
miralty forwarded him III charge of
a naval officer to Polperro. where the
entire population recognized him, and
his arrival was made the occasion of
great public rejoicing.
But before settling down in his
native place he accepted all offer
from the manager of q London thea
tre to exhibit him for a certain num-
ber of nights, and rs it was the rage
to 60 and see "Jeffrcy's the Sailor"
he made rather good thing of it.
These profits were presently swelled
by sum of f6OO, which was paid
him by the family of the Captain in
acquittal of all the claims he might
have against that officer, who was
still liable to civil action, and in the
excited state of public opinion was
likely to be cast in heavy damages.
After the lapse of few months,
when he ceased to "draw," Jeffrey
returned to Cornwall with money
enough to purchase a coasting schoon-
er: married, and, if this were fiction,
wonld have lived happily forever aft
erwards. But the story being per-
fectly true one, Robert Jeffrey was
subject to all those ills which afflict
ordinary mortals who have never
been the subjects Of popular sympa-
thy or curiosity.
He failed to make his schooner pay,
and he died early Of consumption,
leaving his wife and daughter in
great distress.

SUNSHINE over the meadow lands,
Kissing the crimson clover,
And sunshine haunting the lily cups,
That the yellow bees hung over,
And sunshine over the haZy hills
And over the dimpling river
And wished that the sun and summer day
Night shine and last forever.
We walked down by the meadow path,
The broad highway forsaking,
For the quiet Of that lovely spot
Seemed better for our love- making.
And was silent and she was shy,
And we walked down through the clover;
And we thought it the sweetest summer day
That ever the sun shone over.
We heard the birds in the waving grass,
As they twittered to each other
About the nests they had hidden away
And the COO of each glad bird mother.
And thought, as we walked that summer day
Through the clover blooms together,
That at last the world was in perfect tune,
In the glad, bright summer weather.
cannot tell what said to her,
As we walked knee deep in clover;
But knew that the robins merrily sang
Their sweetest Of sweet songs over.
And down in my heart loves own bird sang
A song that was gladder, sweeter,
And echo joined with the worlds sweet hymn
And made the day c0mpleter.
And when we came up the meadow path,
Our hearts sang over and over;
20, sweet glad day, for blossom and bird,
And for ever blithe young loveri"
And yet know not the word she said,
Or whether she spoke at all;
But Of all the sweet days that summer day

The early colonial records of New Jersey
havelbeen so incomplete that in 1872 the Gen.
eral Assembly made an appropriation to en-
able the New Jersey Historical Society to
remedy the deficiency. The Society, through
its agent, has succeeded in obtaining, in Eng
land, complete transcripts of the minutes of
the Provincial Council from 1908 to 1860, and
other papers relating to transactions between
1889 and 1853. The record is not yet full,
but the Society is still at work and expects
shortly to supply the deficiency

FrnE.-At about half-past one o'clock this
"wednesday morning, fire was discovered
an the liquor store of David G. Hoif, on the
corner'of Bridge st. and Gordon's Alley, in
this city. Owing to the storm and the mud,
dy condition of the streets, the firemen were
slow in getting to it. The flames did not
make very rapid Roadway, however, owing to
the rain, and the adjoining frame buildings,
therefore, were not seriously endangered.-
The fipemen pulled down the front portion of
the building to prevent the possibility of the
fire extending further. The loss is small
About six barrels of liquor were carried out of
the building, all of which, we learn, was stol-
en-. Some of the barrels were tapped and
fnen caught the contents in their hats and
drank it, Other barrels disappeared quite
mysteriously, and their whereabouts is un-
known.
The building was undoubtedly set on fire
Whoever did it should be searched out and
punished However great a nuisance the
building was there is no justification for
burning it, and it is encouraging spirit of
lawlessness to approve of it in any way.
