A Dogs Deadly Fight with a Wolf.
Lafayette Journal

Mcdowell Cox, wte lives about four miles
from Lafayette, in Wabash township. about
two weeks ago lost dog which he highly
priced. The last that was seen of the animal
was when be scared up some unknown
creature and darted out of sight after 1t in
the bushes The disappearance of the dog
remained unexplained untils day or two
ago, when Mr.. Cox accidentally discovered
his dead body in the woods, and about thirty
feet distant the dead body of large wolf.
The ground around where the wolf lay dead
was covered with hair torn from his woolly
coat. and bore evidence of desperate strug-
gle. Evidently the dog after long struggle
had killed the wolf, and then walking off .
distance of 80 feet or SO, laid down to
die, for his body was found lying by the side
of a fallen tree on a bed of leaves which had
evidently not been disturbed. The wolf
stood about % inches in height when on his
feet, and was more than twice as large as the
brave dog who finally conquered him. This
is the first wolf killed anywhere near Lafay-
cite in many years.

self-Defense Among plants.

In a recent lecture Mr.. Francis Darwin
gave some curious instances of the way
plants are protected from insects and other
dangers Opium, strychnine and bella
donna, he said, three of the. most deadly
poisons, were all formed By plants as q
means of defense to preserve them from
cattle, etc. A curious use was made of this
poisonous property, as recorded by Living
stone, who states that at one place in South
Africa the natives were in the habit of
catching their zebras by MASKING up some
poisonous plant in their drinking places.
peoples are protected by poison from the
attacks of goats and probably of other cattle.
The strychnine plant was good example of
the way in which poison was limited to the
part of the plant where it was needed.
Almonds were also protected by poison,
cuItivators generally sowing the bitter kind,
as the sweet kind was eaten by mice. Other
plants were protected, not by strong poisons,
but by some aromatic substance. The
fennel, anise and carraway seeds
not eaten by the birds on that account
The lime, which was protected by this
aroma was able to grow wild and hold its
own anywhere, whereas the orange, the cit
ron and the olive required to be carefully
preserved and watched. The mint was an
other example OF plant protected against
cattle by this aromatic principle. Flowers
are often more aromatic than the leaves of
the plant on which they grow, and owe to
this principle their safety from attack, and
caterpillars will even starve to death sooner
than eat the flower of plant the leaves of
which they readily devour. Water plants
are unprotected, for the reason that the
water is protection enough. The most Pc
culiar protection perhaps was that enjoyed
by the common lettuce, which, when
pricked, even by an ants foot spurted up a
sticky juice, and enveloped the Intruder,
who, biting the leaf from vexation, drew
down upon himself fresh shower of cab
bage wrath, in which the unfortunate ant
was drowned.

the lungs are attacked IN consequence OF 7ss

All persons thus affected take cold eanly and
have frequently running at the nostr1ls; the
breath sometimes reveals to all around toe
corruption within, while the patient mas fre-
quently lost all sense of smell. The disease
advances covertly. until pain in the chest,

NASAL CATARRH.

Sometimes the disease only AFFECTS the MEM

be easily reached and cured by simple means
But when 1t Is located in the frontal sinus, or
in the posterior mares, or If it has entered the
eustachian tubes and is fnjuli ing the ears. then

ter 1t has affected the throat
anG bronchial tubes, all well
read physicians will readily attest,
nothing can be relied on to effect permanent
cure but the inhalation OF properly medicated
vapoI. In the same manner that we breathe
common air, we can inhale and breathe q
medicated air; and it is perfectly simple, any
one can see, thus to treat disease of the throat,
bronchial pipes and lungs. How much better

resort to the uncertain and too frequent
mischievous action of medicines taken into
the stomach.
