A Rupert man has invented new
method of destroying lice on cattle.
The operation is as follows The af-
fiicted COW is tied to the manger and
fed literally with hay. The operator
then takes a shovel full of hot ashes
from the stove and scatters them along
the animals back and Immediately re-
tires. A few Goals in the ashes will roll
off and set the hay on fire and SINCE the
hair from the COW, The only delicate
point in the operation is to return at
precisely the proper time. A few min
utes too late will burn up the barn, and
a moment too soon will fail to destroy
the veImin.

The Monkey and the Dentist.

One of the large monkeys at the Alexandra
Palace had been for some time suffering from
the decay of the right lower canine, and an
abscess, forming large protuberance on the
juw, had resulted. The pain seemed so great
I was decided to consult dentist as to what
should be done, and as the poor creature was
at times very savage, il was thought that, if
the tooth had to be extracted, the gas should
be used for the safety Of the operator. Pre-
purations were made accordingly, but the be-
havior of the monkey was quite surprise to
all who were concerned. He showed great
fight on being taken out OF his cage, and not
ouly struggled against being put into sack
prepared, with hole cut for his head, but
forced one Of his hands out, and snapped and
screamed and gave promise of being very
troublesome. Directly, however, Mr.. levin
Mosely, who had undertaken the operation,
managed to get his hand on the abscess and
gave relief, the monkeys demeanor changed
entirely. He laid his head down quietly for
examination, and without the use of the gas
submitted to the removal Of stump and
tooth as quietly as possible.

men is = most sOrrOwful subject. We

ii is sad feature of our times, and one
on which little light has yet dswned
had times for men mean dOubly bad
times for women. Some women at
tempt loo much, and therefore make
bad failures. A great deal might be
done for health if people in straighten-

grace, and without any sense OF
humiliation, give up the little fripperies
with which life has become cucumber.

Yet He Kept His Word.

They had been engaged about fifteen min
utes and she nestled her head little closer
under the shadow of his monumental shirt
collar, and whispered, sand now what are
you going to call me, Algernon?" "Birdie!''
he whispered rapturously, while his voice
trembled with tender emotion, ''always and
ever, nothing but Birdiei" And she fairly COO
ed with delight. He kept his word, although
with the growing precision of middle age, he
has become specific and does not deal in sweep
ing generalities any more. and so it was that
day before yesterday neighbor going in the
back way to borrow the ak, a..cup of sugar and
the cistern pole, heard him call her an old

Needle Work.

What pity that it should now be as
sociated so closely with half paid toll
and tired poverty! Sewing, knitting,
netting, spinning, are all most
graceful occupations. They become

give,a man rest even 70 think OF them,
and what have they not been to wo-
man? We will leave out. THE Song

of the stitch-and the side, too, the
rose must have Its thorn-and we will
for half hour only think of the bless

coat" What hopes, dreams, prayers,
visions, have not been sewed into little
coats? What woman would give up
that blessed industry? One OF B1lwer's
sweetest touches is In describing boy

still hemmed his ufies."-lApple-
