A syndicate of eminent financiers in

digestive function, and a greater or

The Potato Bug,

Prof. Goessman OF the Agricultural
College has thoroughly analysed the
effect Of Paris Green on the potato,
and finds that the arsenic from it do, s
not and cannot enter into TIE circula-
ton of the vine, agreeing fully with
the authorities of the Western Colleg-
cs that no harm will come by the use
of this poison. lie adds:
whilst no not question its great
efficiency for that purpose, l do not
advocate its use. My objection does
not merely rest on the assumption
that the vines will absorb some arsen-
ious acid, (which in healthy, growing
plants at best could be but very min
ute traces, and consequently of but
little importance,-but on the great
danger unayoidably arising from an
indiscrminate, wholesale distribution
of one of the most poisonous substau-
ces on record. by uneducated parties.
l Recommend still rs the safest ellc-
lent remedy, the picking by hand at
the earliest periods of the season."
A New Jersey man gives the fol-
lowing preventative:
Take tobacco stems or refuse to-
bacco and steep, and to a decoction
thus secured add lye from wood ashes
or lyc from potash, and sprinkle the
liquid upon the vines with common
sprinkler"
The farmer tried this lqnid by the
the advice of chemist, with thorough
success. And The says. it not only
drives away the bug, but destroyes
the eggs. or the proper decoction
or the amount of I've necessary tc
make the application most successful
every intelligent farmer can Judge fol
himself. The New Jersey man found
1t not only effectual against the pota
to bug, but beneficial to the crop as l.,
fertilizer.
Here is another mans experience:
81 take a pailfnl of water (say
three gallons) and thicken it over the
lire with rye or -four, or with the com
mon starch that is used for dressing
satinet warps. I thickcn the wholl
three gallons to the consistency o.
cold molasses. Then l take half {
pint of this starch, pour it into anoth
or pailful of cold water, and add one
tablespoonful Of Paris Green, and
mix the whole thoroughly, care being
taken to keep it evenly mixed, and
with sprinkler or syringe, apply tc
each plant or hill. One or TWO ap.
plications during the season will be
sufficient. If the beetles are as num-
erous as l have seen them, the stencil
from the field the next day will be suf-
ficient evidence that the work has
been accomplished.

The Present Phase Of the. French
Crisis.

The terribly tempestuous scene in
the French Assembly, last Saturday,
foreshadow complications not OF
France only, but of all Europe. Am
ong no other people than the Frepch
would it be possible for two factions
so bitterly opposed to each other las
the Left and Right to indulge in five
hours and half of threats, denunci-
atoms and wild wrangling without
coming into actual collision, and pre-
cipitating scenes of bloodshed which
would rapidly grow to the dimensions
of civil war. Such scene as that Of
Saturday, indecourous as it was
and suggesting pandemonium rather
than parliamentary assembly, some
times serves as q safety valve, permit
ting the escape in angry words of pas
sion which might otherwise find OK
preston in bloody deeds. 1t is evil
dent, however, that both parties arc
terribly in earnest, and that the scenes
of Saturday were hut the opening o.
IL drama of absorbing interest ano
most momentous consequences.

may demand. They must often leave
highways of travel and go into noun

For the purpose of preventing agi-
tation Of his acts, the Assembly has
been adjourns one month, and at the
expiration OF that time when it shall
meet again, it is expected that Mac
Mohon will dissolve it and order a
new election in October. If we take
into consideration the past history OF
the French nation, we should be led
to believe, that there might be revoIu.
ton and blood shed among her own
people. But as far as the Presidents
policy may be divided, he hopes to
unite his people by the cry of revenge
and war on Germany. 1t will be re-
membered that the Emperor William
has been terribly severe against the
Catholics, even to Danish the Jesuites
from his dominions and this called
down the wrath of the Pope and Cath
olics everywhere. And if there
should be a new Imperial Govern
ment in France, it would doubtless
raise the standard OF Popal Infall:bil-
ity with the temporal power of the
Pope, thereby gaining and holding
the sympathy Of the Catholic world.
And the latest news we get from this
quarter is that the German Govern
ment has greatly increased her m:lit
airy garrisons in Alsnce and Sorroine,
the conquered French territory. There
may be much speculation about these
circumstances and events now taking
place; but they surely point to anotb-
er trial Of strength between those ma.
tons, as all the past indications in
Russia ane Turkey pointed to the
crisis that has now been reached.
Our interests in Europe will lead us
to watch closely concerning events !;
and the recent acts in France, although
small, are significant, telling, like the
great earthquake waves, of the power
that lies beneath.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit aleno. We
can assure our old patrons that it IS
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfects
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silkeiir
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
