AS Geo. Stewart was going to Sutro, Ne
vada with his delivery wagon the other day,
he saw drunken man In front Of him Stun
BILE over what appeared to be moving, living
mass Of insects. Upon arriving at the place
he foundi was indeed an army OF grasshop-
pers, and the PROSTATE inebriate, unable to
regain his feet, was covered to the depth Of q
foot with them. It was with difficulty that
the man was released from his dangerous po-
sition and assisted into the wagon. Over two
hundred hoppers were taken from his ears
and nose, and it was absolutely necessary to
undress him in order to get out the insects,
millions OF them having crawled down his
back. II the man had not been intoxicated
he would probably have been thrown into
Mysteries As 1t was he only rolled over and
asked for another whisky toddy, sour.

No quarter to the Zulus.
London Daily News ]

In the House of Commons, on June 26, Mr..
J. Mccarthy asked the Colonial Secretary
whether his attention had been called to the
letters published in the Natal Mercury from
Capt. Darcy of the Light Horse, in which,
after narrating the incidents OF battle, he
said: I'VE killed little over 23oO, and when
once they retired all the hOrsemen in camp
followed them for eight miles, butchering the
brutes all over the place. | told the men, NO
quarter. boys, and remember yesterday
And they did knock them about, killing them
all over the place. Also to a letter from
Commandment Scherinbrucker, in which that
officer said: For full seven miles / chased
two columns Of the enemy, shooting inces-
sanity into the thick column, which could not
have been less than 5000 strong. They became
exhausted, and shooting them down would
have taken too much time, SO we took the as
segais from the dead men and rushed among
the living ones, stabbing them right and left,
with fearful revenge for the twenty eighth
ultimo. Noquarter was given" And, whether
these officers belong to the local volunteer
force, and to what authority they are respon-
sible.
Sir M. Hicks Beach said he had seen the
first OF the letters. Capt. Darcy was said to
belong to the Light Horse, and he knew
nothing more about him. He believed Com
mandant Scherinbrucker was engaged with
other colonial forces in Natal, and he appre-
hended that both those officers would be
brigaded with the regular forces, and would
therefore be subject to the articles Of war, and
responsible to the General in command OF the
army.

plants should be set about three inches
apart each way, in cold frame. During
the winter they should be covered with
sashes, and in cold weather have an ad.
ditional covering OF straw mats. On
every mild or sunny day air should be
given, by raising the sash few inches,
and as earlyin the spriug as the weather
will permit, the sashes should be re
moved entirely during the day. In the
latter part of March, or as soon as safe
from hard frost-a little will do no
harm-the plants should be set out on
well. prepared and richly-manured land,
in rows two by three feet. The seed
may also be sown on the hot bed in
February, and by proper care the
plants may be ready to set out in the
beginning of April; but in this case
they must be thoroughly hardened be.

a little frost will kill them. By giving
proper attention to this point, spring

Can Oysters Whistles

This little oyster story is from Thorn
burg's "Now and Old London" The
shop WAS first established by a MIR.
Pearkes in 1925. cit appears" say a
writer in the Daily Telegraph, "that
about the year 1910 the proprietor OF
the house in question, which had then,
as it has now, a great name for the su.

in which the shellfsh lay piled IN lay

Mr.. Pearkes, the landlord, listened,
hardly at first believing his ears. Ihete
was. however, no doubt about the mat
ter; one of the oysters was distinctly
whistling, or, at any rate, producing a
sort of si1leme,,t with its shell. 1t was
not difficult to detect this phenomenal
biyaIye, and in very few minutes ne
was triumphantly picked out from
amongst his fellows and put by himself
in a. spacious tub, with plentiful sup
ply of brine and water. The news
spread through the town. and for some
days the fortunate Mr.. Pearkes founo
his house besieged by curious crowds.
Douglas Jerrold's suggestion
was that the said oyster had been crossed
in love and now whistled to keep up ap.
pearances, with an idea OF showing that
it did not care" Thackeray used to de-
clare that he was once actually IN the
shop when an American came in to SET
the phenomenon, as everybody else wal
doing, and, after hearing the talented
mollusk so through his usual perform

Romance Of the Custer Massacre.

Colonel Benteen, of the Seventh cav
alry. left the impression in his testl-
mony in the Reno inquiry that Dr. Lord
and Lieutenant Sturgis, who were with
Custer, and whose bodies were not
found, might be still alive and with the
Indians. Away down in Maine this ray
of hope fell upon the heart of young
lady who is in reality, but not in name,
one of the widows of the fatal dash tor
yindication. There was more IN the
colonel's words to her than he intended.
For the fifteenth time she wrote to Bis.
marck, Dakota, pitifully inquiring If
there was any possible hope that Ben
teens intimstion was founded upon fact:

Cream Instead of Butter.

A housewife writing for the New York
Tribune proposes virtually to abolish
butter. She says: cit would be wen
to train a family from the outset to
regard butter as an incidental or luxury,
rather than necessity. The manufac.
tnre of it is one of the hardest and most
time. consuming tasks that farmer has
to perform. Moreover, with all the
work it involves, butter adds less TO the
health and sustenance of the family than
would the eating of the cream that goes
into the making of it. Where one
physician advises the eating OF butter, a
Thousand recommend the consumption
of cream. think not one will dispute
the statement that Of cream and butter
eaters the former enjoy the best d.
eestion, the best health and have the
finest complexion. Then, why work
oneself to death for worse than naught !?
Why not eat milk and cream instead OF
turning it into buttera Good bread Is
good enough without the addition OF q
condiment to make it palatab!e; and,
eaten with sweet cream, what ls more
delicious ?" -.

What to Do In Cases OF Diphtheria.

The following Is from the circular o,
the Massachusetts State board of health
In the first place, as diphtheris is con.
tsgious disease, and under certain cir.
cumstances not entirely known, very
highly 80, it is important that all prac-
ticai means should be taken to separate
the sick from the we'll. As it is also
infectious, wooden clothes, carpets, cur
tains, hangings, etc., should be avoided
in the sick-room, and only such ma
terial used as can be readily washed.
All clothes, when removed from the
patient, should be mt once placed in hot
wster. Pocket -handkerrhiefs should be
laid aside, and in their stead soft pieces
of linen or cotton cloth should be used,
and at once burned. .- -
) Disinfeotants should always be placed
in the vessel containing the expeotora-
Gon, and may be used somewhat freely
in the sick-room; those being especially
useful which destroy bad odors without
causing others (nitrate of lead, chloride
of zinc, etc). In schools there should
be especial supervision, as the disease is
often 80 mild in it's early stages as not
to attract common attention; and no
child should be allowed 70 attend school
from an infected house until allowed TO
do 30 by competent physician. In the
case of young children; all reasonable
care should be taken to prevent undue
exposure to the cold. .-- ...-.. u
Pure water for drinking should be
used, avoiding contaminated sources OF
supply; ventilation should be insisted
on, and local drainage must be carefully
attended to. Privies and cesspools,
should not Be allowed to isoak 1rvotAaae
surface of the ground near dwelling.
houses, and the cellars should be kept
dry and sweet. In cities, especially IN
tidal districts, basins, baths, ETC., as
now connected with drains, should
never communicate directly with sleep
In all cases OF diphtheria, fully as
great care should be taken in disiniect-
inc the s;t k.room, after use, as In scar.

the clothing disused should be burned
or exposed to nearly or quite heat OF

as early as practicable in the coffin, with
disinfectants, and the coffin should be
tightly closed. Children, at least, and
better adults also in most cases, should
not attend a fur eral from house IN
which death from diphtheria has oc'
Cured. But with suitable precautions,
it is not necessary that the funeral
should be private, provided the corpse
be not in any way exposed.
Although it is not at present possible
to remove at once all sources OF cpl

Adulterated Food.

From facts and data in our possession,
saws the New York Herald, it is sus-
ceptible of proof that nearly all the es.
sentials of life are seriously tampered
with, and that the adulteration OF food
is the rule rather than the exception.
The following list is carefully prepared,
and will give an idea of the extent to
which the evil extends:
Sausages-Made of impure meats and
seasoned with spices.
Bread-Mixed with alum, lime water
and -four ground in with lead.
Flour-Adulterated with damaged
peas, powdered alum and casein, IN
which are worms, insects, acarl and
smut.
Coffee-Adulterated with cocoanut
shells, almond shells, chiccory, beans,
peas and corn.
Tea-Colored with black lead and
Prussian blue.
Oysters, CLANS and Lobsters-Stale
and decaying.
Cheese-Colored with saffron, 7ene'
tian red, carrots and annotto, Whl ct
latter is often found to contain poison
ous chromates.
Essences-Adulterated and contami:
mated by nitro. .benzole, prussic acid, oil
of turpentine, sulphuric acid and cltrle
acid. -,
Sugar-Iniured by putrid blood, with
which it is purified" and adulterated
with clay, sand and bean dust, with now
and then a fair share Of marble dust.
Cake-Flavored with oil of almonds
containing prussic acid.
SpicesSBlack pepper, adulteratee
with buckwheat, caramel or shorts; cay
enne pepper, adulterated with red lead
almond shells and ginger.
