THE BUFFALO GNAT.

Suggestions Which Ought to be Needed
In Sections Afflicted With These In
sects.
The Buffalo gnat, which causes such
distress and destruction to cattle,
horses and mules after an overflow, and
which infested the overlooked portions
of Louisiana and Mississippi to worse
degree last spring than ever before
known, has been the subject of observa-
ton and study by Professor Riley, who
suggests the following remedies in his
report to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture:
The good effects of smudge or thick
smoke in keeping off the gnats has long
been known. This method is used in
the South at the present time and also
in Hungary. In Hungary the inhabit-
ants collect large and longish heaps of
straw, hay, foliage, etc, both near their
houses and also in the pastures. A
brand is put in the middle and the heap
begins to burn slowly and causes a
thick smoke which prevents the APP
proach of the gnats. The cattle there
understand the effect of the smoke and
make their way eagerly to the smoke
heap as soon as they perceive cloud
of gnats, or when the gnats annoy
them greatly, lay themselves down by
the heap and always on that side of it
to which the smoke will be driven by
the wind or current of air.
The use of oil of tar by the employees
of the Hudson Bay Company against
the "black fly" of the northern woods,
and the fact that long experience has
shown it to be preferable to pennyroyal
or any of the common prophylactics
suggests simple and easily applied
wash, which has been several years
recommended by Prof Riley. A guam
tity of coal tar is placed in the bottom
of large shallow receptacle of some
sort, and small Quantity of oil of tar
or oil of turpentine, or any similar ma
terial, is stirred in. The receptacle is
then filled with water, which is left
standing for several days until well i'm
pregnated with the tar, etc. The ami
mails are then washed with this water
as often as seems to be necessary
These smudges and washes are simply
preventive in their character; as yet
there appears no process by which the
number of insects can be lessened.
Prof Riley thinks it not unlikely that
the Southern Buffalo gnat breeds in the
smaller tributary streams of the Missis-
sippi River, in the shallowest and swift
est water. Such breeding places, once
ascertained, it ought not to be difficult
to kill the insect in its earlier stages, OF
on large scale, by the introduction OF
some poisonous substance: If, on further
investigation, it should be found, how
ever, that the larvae live attached to the
stems of the water plants in the Missis
sippi itself, attempts to prevent the
multiplication of the species will have
to be abandoned as impracticable.-N

it is only the present moment that is
considered, while tomorrow and its
consequences remain unheeded. "He
liveth long who liveth WE'LL" and to
live out the allotted space Of "three
score years and ten" one must, indeed,
live well, and walk circumspectly, care

be only short cuts to death and destruc-

The Sea of Galilee.

One of the first things for which l
looked here was the fishing industry
but found it not. There is evidently
only one sailing vessel on the lake, and
but a very small handful of clumsy row.
boats. When one of these boats gets
out of order there is a general conster-
nation, it is said, for the art of ship
building is no longer known here. When
we sent our servant to-day with instruc-
tons to procure Galilee fish for dinner
he was unable to find a single fish IN the
market. This is especially strange, IN
asmuch as have had positive evidence
that the waters swarm with plscatorlai
life to-day, just as in the days when
Christ called Galilean fishermen to his
discipleship.
Yet fishing is still carried on here on
a small scale. Even last night saw a
boat push out to sea with nets aboard,
Just as Simon did, no doubt, when he
was bound to "toil all night" at the
same business.
This leads me to guess or, at least, 10
hope, that the citizens were not quite so
lazy and worthless in the days OF the
Son of Man. They could not have been
any worse. The modern Galilean would
ride two-thirds the way around the lake
on the ragged back of donkey or a
camel rather than display the enterprise
required to effect crossing in one-slxtn
the time by boat Stupidity and cupid
ity are everywhere linked in way that
orely tries Occidental patience.-E1.

Out OF Tune

When the tones of musical instru-
ment become harsh and discordant, we
say it is tout of tune" The same may
be said of that far more wonderful and
complicated piece of mechanism, the
human structure, when it becomes
disordered. Not only actual disease,
but those far more common causes,
overwork, mental anxiety. and fast iiv
ing, may impair its vigor and activity.
The best remedy for a partial collapse
of the vital energies, from these as
from other sources, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is at the same
time an agreeable and mind cheering
cordial. and the best possible invigorant
in all classes of debility. 1t is an IN
comparable stomachic and anti-bilious
medicine, eradicates fever and ague,
and prevents subsequent attacks. 1t
remedies with certainty and thorough
ness, bowel and kidney complaints,
dyspepsia, nervousness, rheumatic
troubles, neuralgia. and many other
bodily ailments. 1t also counteracts
influences which predispose to disease.

THE CLUB races on Decoration Day
promise to be very interesting, several
new racers having been in active training
for some time. Old favofites will have
to look close to their laurels.
ONE OF our merchants bantered a
cyclist for race against his horse while
the club was out the other evening. The
horse was dlstanced. in about thirty
seconds. Friend Lipman must get a
better horse.
IT is expected the club will hold five
race meetings during this season, when
the medals will become the property of
those who have won them the oftenest
during that time. The first of these
meetings will be on Decoration Day.

THE CLUB will be divided into two

who can make mile in less than $50;
the second class will be all those who
cannot make mile in that time There
will be first and second medal in each
class. All medal races best two in

Coughing Congregations.

Clergymen who are annoyed by fits
of coughing and nasal trumpetings so
common inchurches and meeting houses
at this season of the year, cannot do
better then recommend to their focks
an immediate resort to "Haie's Honey
of Horehound and Tar" The result of
the advice, if taken, will be comparative
quiet on the succeeding Sabbath; for
this potent remedy will by that time
have effected a general cure. Many
pastors know from experience the value
of the preparation as cure for bron-
chial affections, and can therefore con-
scientiously endorse it. Sold by drug
