A Much-HIfxed Suit.

S. a. Thompson, plaintiff, VS.. Emil
r. d'Artois and Walter S. Webb,
partners in the real estate business,
defendants, is the title to a new suit
filed with the County Clerk yesterday.
The complaint alleges that Thompson
had a partner named Heath, and they
contracted with the defendants to
build a hotel for them on the Rose
Grams Tract. The contract was for
1925. While the work was in progress
Thompson 4 Heath dissolved partner
ship, and Heath quit the business,
turning over to Thompson all the
claim in the contract. Thompson,
with the consent of the defendants,
continued the work, and spent 1915 in
purchasing material to be used in the
construction, by order of defendants.
April 30th the defendants ordered
Thompson to quit work, and would
not let him continue with his
contract. Plaintiff claims damages
to the amount OF his contract $525.
He also asserts that the defendants
sold him properly for which he yet
owes $40, but which they refuse to
accept. He therefore prays damages
for non-conveyance of 1910. On May
Is, 1888, the defendants took the
plaintiffs tools, worth $14.75, and
would not let him have them. there
by OBTAINING him from carrying on his
occupation and damaging him in the
Sum of 500. The plaintiff therefore
demands judgment tor 1896, with in
terest and costs of suit.

EDrroM HERALD One OF the con-
testants for the prizes offered by the
Los Angeles Safe Deposit and Trust
Company for the solution Of the
"quaiter problem" in communities
ton which appeared in this mornings
HERALD, complains of my consenting
to allow the Tribune correspondent
"Osi" to name the charity that shall
receive the amount of the prizes in
case his solution of the problem is
correct. The young lady must re-
member that if all the contestants
are wrong in their answers there was
no solution of the problem, conse-
quently we are not under any obliga-
ton to award the prizes at all. We
are not disposed, however, to take
advantage of their failure and keep
the money; we prefer to donate it to
some deserving charity; and ii "Osi''
can prove all the contestants to be
wrong (Which / do not think he can
do) we are willing that he shall name
the charity, even though he be over

DWELLING IN TREES.
Queer HabItations Found in Southern and
Central Africa.

A study of the various habitations
which do service as the home of man,
is at once most curious and interesting.
We find them made of almost every
conceivable material-of snow andice,
of mud and sod, of the skins of animals,
and of the leaves, bark and twigs OF
trees, as well as of the many other ma
terials commonly considered suitable
for building purposes. Quite as varied
are the sites selected for dwellings; the
caves of the earth, the cliffs of the rocks,
the almost inaccessible mountain-side,
the lowland swamps, and even lakes
sometimes form the site of a pile village.
In thinly populated districts of South
ern and Central Africa. where wild
beasts abound, the natives dwell in
huts which resemble gigantic bee-hiVes.
These huts are firmly fixsd among the
large branches of the boabab, an i'm
mense trees sometimes more than one
hundred feet in circumference-whic
rises like dwarf tower from twenty to
thirty feet and then throws out branches
like miniature forest. One such tree
furnishes ample room for several houses.
and it is said that thirty families have
been found to occupy single tree. In
many instances, natives who till the
soil at any great distance from their
tribe, build these huts for nightly &C.
commodation.
The natives of New Guinea are said
build their houses in high trees, some.
times upon the narrowest and most in
accessible ridges of the mountains. 10
these dwellings bamboo ladders web
the only means of access. To give
these ladders strength, and to render
the ascent and descent easier, vines
were cultivated to Chamber up them.
The Waraus, tribe of Indians living
upon the banks of the Orinoco, also
sometimes build their huts in the tree
tops. The Indian searches through the
forest until he finds tree which suits
his fancy, then proceeds TO fashion a
hut among its branches. When the
annual floods come he uses it as a raft
and floats away to some locality which
pleases him better.
Tree houses certainly offer some adj
vantages from a sanitary point of view.
The jewellers in them are sure of AN
abundance of good air. Swinging in
the tree-tops," they may enjoy an at
mosphere unpolluted by ground air. a
damp basement or an unclean cellar. -

VERMIN ON STOCK.
A Preventive and Cure Which Has Stood
the Test of Twenty Years.


the Test of Twenty Years.
l have noticed several articles on the
destruction of vermin on livestock.
We all have way of our own, which
is all right if based upon reason and
common sense. My way is to lock the
barn before the horse is stolen. IAN
ounce of prevention is better than
pound of cure" is an old saying if
rightly used and applied. My belief is
that no perfectly healthy domestic ami
NAL will ever breed or be infested with
vermin if properly treated and cared
for, and most all diseases may be
warded off or prevented by using timely
remedies or preventatives. During
twenty years of farm experience used
from fifteen to twenty-five pounds of sui
phur every year, which can be bought for
six cents per pound by the quantity.
To prepare it for use, to one part sui
phur add two parts salt, one part fine
wood ashes, the stronger the better.
Place it under an open shed if you have
Ut; if not, in the yard, and put a
cover over it, where all can have ac-
cess when they please, and feed no
other salt. During the last twenty
years have kept from one to ten
horses constantly, kept and fed hun
dreds of cattle, hogs and sheep, and
never lost by disease or otherwise one
hundred dollars, all told. In STALL
feeding cattle, l give them a warm
stable, plenty of fresh bedding, and
use the card freely every day. To
guard against lice, take an old tin
baking powder can, fill about half full
of -four of sulphur, perforate the cover
with small holes, replace, and you are
ready for business. Take your card in
left hand, your pepper box in right;
pet on near side of steer. Commence
at tail and rake the hair toward the
head with card, following up with
light sprinkling of sulphur from your
box. from tail to horns. Then give the
hair a light brush with hand back and
forth, to work sulphur down into the
hair Repeat this and in two or three
weeks allow them all Of the sunshine,
but keep we'll sheltered from the storm.
Crowd all of the feed into them that
they will take and take clean. My
word for it, you will be troubled with no
lice and will get good returns for your
trouble and feed. Cor. Toledo Blade.
