How to Drive flies Out of Room.


From the British Medical Journal.
Observations made by NJ. Ratford, a
member of the Society d'Horticuture at
Limoges, show that a castor oil plant
having been placed in room infested
with flies, they disappear as by enchant-
ment. Wishing to find the cause he
soon found under the castor oil plant a
number of dead flies, and large num-
Der of bodies had remained clinging to
the under surface ofthe leaves. 1t wOu
therefore appear that the leaves OF the
castor oil plant give out an essential OIL,
or some toxic principle which possesses
very strong insectictide qualities. Castor
oil plants are in France very much used
as ornamental plants i'll rooms, as they
resist very we'll variations of atmosphere
and temperature. A the castor oil plant
is very much grown and cultivated in all
the gardens the Journal d Agriculture
points out that it would be worth while
to try decoctions of the leaves to destroy
the green flies and other insects which
in summer are SO destructive to plants
and fruit trees. Any how, M. Ratford's
observations merit that trial should be
made of the properties of the castor OIL
plant both for the destruction of flies in
dwellings and of other troublesome in
SectS.

Pure Water tor Stock.

The vtlue of pure water for the stock
at this season of the year cannot be
over-e stimated. A number of careful
experiments made by M. Dancel and
given to the French academy of science
go to show that the amount of milk OBJ
tanned is approximately proportional to
the quantity of water drank, and that
the yield of milk can be increased to a
considerable extent without deteriora-
ting in value, by inducing milch cows to
take an abundant quantity of water. In
deed, M. Dancel maintains that a COW
that does not commonly drink as much
as ;Wenty-seven quarts of water day is
necessarily a poor mixer, while cow
that drinks as much as fifty quarts daily
is sure to be an excellent mixer. Stag
nant water, and that from standing
pools and small ponds is always more
or less foul in summer time, and even
though abundant in quantity and easy
of access, has an injurious influence on
the favor of dairy products, often cows
seem to prefer such liquid even to clear,
running water, but experience album
dainty shows that when mich cows
have access to such pools a first-class ar
tice of butter or cheese cannot be made
from the milk which is sc metimes found
to be absolutely unwholesome.
why Men Don't Wear FINER Clothes.
From the New York Post.
The reformers who have been endeav-
oring for number of years to induce
men to clothe themselves in more pic
turesque garments have made little head
way, evidently because they have over
looked the economic relation between
male and female costume. All econo-
mists know that there is only a given
amount of capital in the world at any
given time which can be used by the
two sexes as what they call the clothes
fund; and that the more of this there is
used by one the less there is left for the
other. In early times, when men were
stronger than women, and made use of
their strength in their own interest, they
took the greater part of this fund and
spent it uDon themselves, which accounts
for the splendor of male attire among so
many primitive races, and for the seclu-
sion in which the women were kept
much lavish expenditure in shopping"
being thus prevented. In our day, on
the contrary the progress made by wom-
en- in establishing an independent po-
sition for themselves is seen in their get
ting the lions share of the clothes fund,
just as it is elsewhere. For t he last two
centuries every step in the advance of
women in getting their rights has been
marked by corresponding decline in
the dress of men, until nee-breeches,
slashed doublets, jewelry, wigs and lace
have all been discarded, while that
share of the fund formerly devoted to
these no Y goes into the dress of women.
What reformers ought to advocate is,
first of all, the resnbjection of woman,
her RELOCATION to her old position. This
however, involves a general rising by
men, for which they show no evidence

The Delense Of Nen OrIenns.

DAAAllylN Euus
Yesterday was the anniversary Of
the battle at New Orleans, in which
General Jackson, with less than 5000
men, chiefly militia from Tennessee
and Kanmoky, defeated a British
force Of 5000 veterans, and gained
that popularity throughout the coun
try which made him President in 1893
and again IN 1882. A treaty of peace
had been signed, it is true, two weeks
before the battle, 50 that the slaugh
ter attending it was useless SO far as
the shaping OF conditions was con-
cerned; still, it is beyond doubt that
Jaekson's brief campaign and hard
fighting on the Mississippi sixty-seven
years ago saved New Orleans from the
rapine from which parts of Maryland
suffered in that war, and created such
an impression in the British mind
tGat the recognition of American in
dependence, which had previously
been equiyocal, became thereafter
actual and hearty. 1t is not too much
to say that the few ~laurels won in the
wal which begun June Is, 1912, and
ended January 8. 1915, belong il
about equal proportions to the defend.
