Rough on Flies.
Philade! Record.


That's a queer ;order." remarked a
Chestnut street florist on Saturday after
noon to a Record reporter, at the sane
time handing him a despatch, dated At
lantic City, August 4, which read as fol-
lows: Send the 200 castor-oil plants as
o o as possible, and the price quoted in
yonr letter of July %. Sample came O.
X. and acted like a charm" To the tell
egram was attached the name of the pro-
prietor of one of the largest hotels at At
lantic City.
"What does he want with c~astor-oil
plants?" aueried the scribe.
"Well," replied the florist, ssthey're
not particularly pretty, but they're death
on flies and mosquitoes and he is going
to use them to keep his hotel free from
these pests.'
THE discovery that castor-oil plants
possess the faculty of killing and keep
ing away flies, mosquitoes and other in.
sects was recently made by q French
scientist named Rafford, who noticed
that certain rooms in his house, in which
castor.ol plants were growing, were en-
sects, although other apartments were
infested with them. He found lying
near the plants great quantities of dead
flies, and a large number of dead bodies
we're hanging to the under surface ofthe
leaves, which caused him to investigate
the matter, and the discovery was made
that the plants gave out an essential oil
or some tonic principal which possessed
very powerful secticide qualities.
In the greenhouse connected with the
florists establishment the reporter was

In warm weather it attracts moisture
and keeps the manure from fire-fauging

In winter it keeps the heap from ireez-

Colonel F. D. c urtis writes the New
York Tribune that he has tried all kinds
of experiments in killing Capada this
ties. Seeding heavily with clover and
moving it is one of the best. The poor
est way to kill them, and the best way
to spread them, is to put the land IN
hoed crops. Every little broken joint

starts a new bed. Hence the less

the ground is plowed so frequently that
they cannot grow at all, and this extra
labor is SO out Of joint with ones in.
elination that it is seldom done.
The Poultry Magazine recommends
the following as a condition powder for
fowls: 1.-TWO pounds of .inseed meal,
two pounds ground bone, four ounces
sulphur, two ounces red pepper; eight
oances saffron, one pound salt, eigh,
ounces bread soda, two unces copperas,
one pound charcoal, two pounds chalk.
The above will make about ten pounds
condition powder, costing about so cents,
or 5 cents a pound. 1t is nearly the
same as many high.priced powders or
egg foods. Give a heaping t%easpoonful
IN the soft feed for each fowl"

A Reckless Woman.
Peck's Sun,

"Well, sir" said an engineer, as he
took a doughnut, ''all these accidents
occur just by people trying to be smart.
l have seen hundreds of farmers who
would stop their teams far enough away
from a train, SO there would be no dam
| ger, but about one in ten acts as though
he owned the earth, and if he gets the
hind end of his wagon over he thinks
he has achieved something remarkable.
1 expect to kill a woman out here about
a hundred miles one of these days. She
drives an old black mare, m l think
she lays for a train. She sees the train
coming, and slaps the old mare with the
lines, and hurries on the track, and the
old stops as though she was going
to eat grass, and then the old lady looks
up at me in the cab window, through her
spectacles, slaps the old mare some
more, and she meanders off the track
just before l hit her, and the old lady
looks back at me AS the engine whirls
past, aud my heart is in my mouth, and
she looks just as though she thought I
was running that way just for fun, and
that am an impolite thing, because ]
don't slack up for her. Some day the
marsh out there is goingto have a show
er of black mare and buggy wheels and
spectacles. and there will be Grape on
the old lady's door, and instead of a sui
eide, the CORNERS jury will blame the
engineer, and her relatives will sue the
company for damages"

The WAY.

An American student at Gottingin, the
son of q prominent New York clergy
man, unintentionally gave offense to
three German students by brushing
against them in hurriedly passing along
the street. They went on a few steps,
then came back and insisted on having
satisfaction for the insult; he must fight
q duel with one of their number. lie
declined, saving, 81 am an American, I
do not fight" But they repeated. 1--WE
must have satisfaction" He replied
well, ifyou must you can have It,"
and, throwing off his coat, went at them
with his fists. He knocked all three o
them down and one rolled in the gutter.
Then, putting or his coat, he walked
away. Somewhat bewildered over the
situation, the three German students
picked themselves up and went their
way. The American was not afterward
CHALLENGED to fight a duel nor otherwise
moiested.

distinguished part in the civic service of tn,

Andrew G. Curtin, the old war governor
Of Pennsylvania, now in congress from tn

war med up with his subject when his voic
dee pens and his whole manner changes 81
that he holds the closest attention to hi
hearers. He impresses one as q ra pos
sessed Of more than ordinary powers as a
politician, who certainly comes very close
to being a statesman as wall. His account
of the difficulties that p%ertained to the du-
ties of his position at the time when the
government resorted to a CONSUMPTION was
very interesting, and the tribute which fol-
lowed to the men who volunteered o fcourse

a little story. This story was of an old Penn

had served in the war ofthe revolution Is a
wagonmaster. As years rolled on this per-
son was vont to expatiate upon his per.
sonal sevices at the battle OF Monmouth
(his, single action of moment) until as he sat
in the village store one night, after several
accepted invitations to drink, he told it in
this wise: I'm that fearful day at Mon
mouth, although entitled to a horse, l
fought on foot. With each blow l severed
an E~nglishman's head from his body, until
a huge pile of heads lay around me, great
pools of blood on either side, and my shoes
were full OF the same dreadful fluid that
my feet slipped beneath me. Just then l
felt a touch upon my shoulder aud looking
up who should l behold but the great and
good Washington himself. Never shall /
forget the majesty and dignity of his pres
ence as pressing his hand upon me he said:

heavens sake do not make a slaughter house
of yourself TIL shouts of laughter that
greeted this story showed that the governor
had made a point that it is to be hoped will
not be forgotten at future military reunions,

be well il a rule suggested by q witty Mary
land officer for such an occasion could be.

l.. THE SLEEPER.-He will be there.
P~eradventure he leaneth his chin upon
a cane, g that when the moment of
deep and profound slumber cometh up
on him, his chin slippeth of, and with
the bang of his head upon the pew, in
front of him he is awakened. Howbeit
the bang upon his wife's head no man
can hear. Or, the slumberer may sit
bolt upright and nod in time to his deep
and regular breathing. Only when you
cast your eyes upon him, the watcliful
wife at his bosom stabs him with her
elbow, and he glareth upon the congre-
cation as who should say: "He that
sayeth I slept the same is liar, a VII
lain and u horse-thief." Or if ne be to
that he leaneth his head back until the lid
thereof faileth down between his Shout
ders, ans he playeth phantastic tunes
with his nose, insomuch that
the boys in the gallery make merry
