CarbOlic Acid for Insects.

The time has almost come again
when "the little busy bugs" will open
up their summer campaign, and dispute
with the ''lords of creation for pos
session of the "fruits of the earth"
Allow me thus early to call attention to
an article, the merits of which every
body knows, but which many dare not
use--I refer to carbolic acid. Pre-
pared as indicated, it cannot, think,
hurt the most delicate house plants,
and it is sure to kill insect life.
My plan of preparing is as follows: /
obtain crude carbolic acid; use it in
this form because it is stronger and
better for the purpose, and costs but
very little (about twenty-five cents per
gallon, think). Ipour a quantity of
this dark crude acid into quantity Of
good strong domestic soft soap; stir
well together, and allow to stand for
few hours. / then test the compound
by mixing little of it with soft water.
If too much acid has been added, oily
particles Of carbolic acid will be OBJ
served floating on the surface. This
shows that more acid has been put in
than the soap will incorporate or cut,
and more soap should be added to
balance the excess of acid. No more

depends on the strength of the soap.
Two or three tablespoonful of the
acid to quart of soap may first be
tried. l prefer to make as strong
with acid as the soap viii
perfectly cut. A very little prac-
tice will enable any one to COM
pound it correctly. The refined acid
may be used when the crude is not at
hand. When prepared as above make
q moderately strong suds, and apply
with syringe or sponge. In using on
very delicate plants, should any fear be
felt for the plants, they can be rinsed
off after few minutes. My first and
eminently successful use of this COM
pound was some years since, on block
of young cherry trees, some fifty thou
sand in number. The black aphis came
down like the wolf on the fold, only
they came not as single spies, but in
whole battalions. 1t soon became an
interesting question as to who was the
proprietor Of this particular block of
trees-mysef or the "bug Ethiopian"
A disinterested observer of judicial
turn of mind, judging from the general
appearance of things and the very "at
home' air assumed by the bugs, would
have said they had the best case. He
would, at least. have been compelled to
admit they had nine points of the law
(possessio ion) in their favor. I never
saw the like before. The trees were
alive with aphis. The only scarce
things on the trees were the leaves.

Putting In Evidence an Act Passed Three
Hundred Years Ago.

In an action in the Supreme Court,
lately tried at Lockport, N. Y, before
q referee, the following legal curiosity
was offered and received in evidence.
It is statute enacted by the Parlia-
ment of Scotland in 1879 on the subject
of the limitation of actions. 1t is con-
tanned in a volume of which the follow
ing is the title-page.
"The Acts of the Parliaments of Scot
land. Vol. I'LL, A. ID. MDLXVIl.-A.
d. MDXCII. Printed by command of
his Majesty King George the Third,
in pursuance of an address of the
House of Commons of Great Britain,
MDCCCXIV." -.s.-..- oTrp
The volume is from the Law Library
of the State at Albany. The statute
reads precisely as follows: -s--l

This is a very fair sample of the En-
glish thatwas talked and written by our
ancestors in the sixteenth century, and
the liberal admixture of Scotch phrase
ology makes it hardly more obscure than
was the tongue that was spoken and
written at the same time south of the
Tweed. The State Librarian furnishes
the following as a translation into mod
ern English, although the translation
leaves something still to be desired in
the way of plainness: a. ''''-s
"It is statute and ordained by our
sovereign lord, with advice of his three
estates in parliament, that all actions of
debt for house maells, mems Ordinaries,
servants fees, merchants accounts, and
others the like debts that are not found
ed upon written obligations. be pursued
within three years, otherwise the credit
| or shall have no action, except he
either prove by the writ or by oath of
the party" .r
That such a relic of ancient Scotch
law as this should even be supposed to
have any effect upon an action brought
in the State of New York in the year
| 1877, is one of the marvels of the law.
For, when this act was passed by the
ancient Scottish Parliament, 800 years
| ago, Queen Elizabeth was on the throne
| Of England; James 1. of England, her
successor, who is the Jacob VI" OF
Scotland named in the act, was boy OF
thirteen years; the two Charleses and
the other James of the house of Stuart,
as well as Oliver Cromwell, were yet
unborn, and Plymouth Rock was un-
known, for the day of the Pilgrim Faith
ers was forty years later. 80.

1t is a most excellent remedial agent, and as
such we can heartily recommend it.
