Mr.. Ivers w. Adams writes from
Bathur I, N. B., to Forest and Stream,
that he tried a dozen prescriptions for
repeIing mosquitoes, flies and similar
pests, aud found none of them effective
until he came across the following,
which are dead sure every time:
Three OF. sweet oil, one OF. carbolic
acid. Let it be thoroughly applied upon
hands, face and all exposed parts (care
[ " avoiding the eyes, once every halt
hour when the flies are troublesome. or
for the first two or three days, until tho
skin is filled with it, and after this its
application will be necessary only occa-
sionally. Another receipt, equally eff
cacious, is: Six parts sweet oil, one part
creosote, one part pennyroyal. Either
of these is agreeable to use, and in no
way injurious to the skin. We have
both of these in our camp with US. and
all flies keep a safe distance.

flow Mines Are Worked.

Z" wish you would tell me about the
way men get gold and silver out of anime,
my DEAR" said a lady in East Laramie,
the other evening, to her husband, and
he peeled of his coat and sat down in
three chairs for the evening.
"Well, what kind of a mine do Won
wish to hear about-gold or silver,
quartz or placer, deposit or refined
lead?"
"Well, all of them briefly. want to
know whether they scrape off the gold
from the under side of the ground, and
wash the dirt off in the creek, or how it
is.
"Well, they don't scrape off the under
side of the ground exactly. There you
are in cor. In placer mining they have
to collect the dust and pan it out with
gold-pan."
"Oh! they have to use a gold pan,
do they? That must be what makes
mining SO expensive. Does the pan
haze to be solid gold?"
Ne, it isn't made Of gold it is sim
ply to pan gold, hence the name. In
4'4arlz mining the prospector finds first

bes1rs to dig for the purpose of ascer-
tanning now extensive it is, and what it

SOB, that is it. / thought they first
bored into the ground with a pay streak
until they found the shaft, and then
they drifted for the assessment, and when
they found that, they just put blast in
the indications and sailed the dump.
Now, it seems that you don't do that
way. You follow up the micacious salt
till you strike the bias fold. Then you

they salt the contract and blast the YER

till they strike the varicose vein. After
that it is short job to put on the bias

t'InafIno trardens.

A writer describes the floating vegeta-
BILE gardens of Lake Grinagar, in Cash
mere They are made by first planting
poplar poles, twenty-five or twenty eight
feet long, in two or three rows, twelve
or fifteen feet apart Then the gardener
gathers from the lake lot of aquatic
plants, and interweaves them between
his poles. This forms the support of
the garden. Then more plants are col
lected from the lake, and piled up to the
height of three or four inches. These
soon rot and form the soil, and the gar
den plants first sprouted on the land are
then transplanted to the garden. At
first they are watered, but it does not
take long for the rootlets to find their
way to the water underneath. The veg
etables raised are said to he very fine,
and are sold for very low prices.

A Wholesale Co. Operative Society.

An interesting account of the progress
of the Wholesale Cooperative Society
has been published by the Manchester
Guardian, and some of its particulars
are worth reproducing for the lesson
they convey. The society was es-
tablished iii 1868, and is federation of
retail cooperative societies carrying on
business all over England and Wales.
At its start it had capital of only 1899.
and did business in its first wear to tho
extent of but G5, 962. Only forty socie-
ties were embraced in it, with an aggre-
gate membership of 1855. According
to its balances sheet, made up at the
18th of June last, 61S different societies
have now got shares in it, and 778 pur-
chase their goods through it. Its capt.
tai, share, loan and reserve, is now
1858, 907, and the last quarters sales
amounted to 9862,00 those for the
whole year being 93, $4,000. During
the seventeen years of its existence this
society has done a business of nearly
EGG, 900, 600 at a cost of only G362, 1856,
or Ell IS. Id. per cent, its net profits in
the same period averaging FL As. I'd.
per cent, which was enough to pay the
8 per cent fixed interest on the capital
and an average dividend of 81 per cent.
III addition. The society has buyers in
Ireland, Rouen and New York, and lat
terry Copenhagen; it possesses two man
utactories of boots and sAoes-one in
Leicester and one in HechnIon,iwicke.
but these have caused some disputes as
t. the ALLEGATION of profits, the workmen
declaring that the profits Of labor ought

money to subsidiary retail societies. 1t
is the banker of 100 of these retail stores
as well as their source of supply, and
has advanced the myney gathered from
its richer adherents in that capacity to
the poorer. In this there must be con-
siderable risk, but. apart from danger Of
this kind, the great business thus
founded appears to offer favorable ex-

Obsolete Modes or Punishment.

1t is curious circumstance that pun
ishments and forms of Indictment long
obsolete in the land of their origin should
survive here. Delaware, RS most peo
pie are aware, retains its pillory, and not
very long ago fair Philadelphian was
in trouble on the charge of being "a
common scold," an indictment which, it
is asserted. has not been entered against
any one in England since 1705, when
Anne was Queen. The punishment
specially provided Of yore for scolds was
the ducking stool, which. IN the time Of
Elizabeth, was, with the pillory, re-
CURED to be provided by the lord of n
manor. 1t is thus described: GA post
was placed in pond; across this post
was placed traverse beam, turning on
a swivel, with chair at one end, in
which, when the culprit was properly
placed, that end was turned to the pond
and let into the water, and this was re-
peatcd as often as the virulence of the
temper required" There is evidence
that this p hment was often applied.
Another punishment, formerly very
common for rowdy persons, was the
whirligig (whirling gig), circular cage
on pivot, which was turned with great
velocity, to the intense discomfort of the
inmates. A curious punishment known
as the "drunkard's cloak was nitro
duced by the Puritan magistrates into
Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The drnnkards were compelled to go
about the town carrying around them
an empty barrel, space being cut ont of
it for their heads and hands. A promi-
nent consideration in these punishments,
as in those retained by Delaware to-day,
was doubtless their cheapness, and this
is indeed no slight consideration. Some
years ago an estimate was made of what
three criminal brothers had cost an En-
glisl community in twenty years. 1t
stood thus:
