ABird That Kills Rattlers.

Riding in California one day my COM
panion called attention to bird in the
road ahead of me. 1t was something
like a prairie-chicken, but much more
slender and graceful in build 1t was
not using its wings, but it moved very
rapidly aud we had to keep the horse in
pretty good trot to keep up with it.
My friend told me that it was a road
runner bird that was noted there for
its pedestrian accomplishments, and a
peculiar habit they have is to walk al.
ways in the center of the road, When
one of these birds meets a rattlesnake
it behaves in such coy manner that ii
leads the snake to think it will become
the victim of it's charms, and while it is
keeping the snake in doubt as to its in
tentious, it runs about in the cactus and
picks off the thorns with it's bill, drop.

until it has him completely surrounded

snake stick himself to death on the
thorns trying to get out OF the ring.-St

Preventing orchard Failure,

During a number of years past mill
ions of orchard trees have been set
out, and observing persons entertain
the opinion that in future years there
will be an overproduction and over
stocked markets. The result will
doubtless be low prices and want of
sufficient profit to warrant the best of
care. The orchards will increase in
productiveness more rapidly than the
great multitude of owners increase in
skill for their very best management.
During the previous year of greatest
abundance in fruit many owners re-
marked that they could not take pains
IN selecting, and the fruit was conse-
guently sent to market in bad condition.
This course made the market still
worse, and many purchasers preferred
to go without fruit than to be thus i'm.
posed on. Thus there was action and
reaction. To prevent such disastrous
result all orchardists ofintelligence and
energy must give their trees tie very
best attention; they must select wisely,
plant on good soil, cultivate suffie iently,
prune as required, thin ove1l loaded
trees, destroy insects, assert only for
the best, pack with due care for market
and do all the work in the best manner.
Men who will do this will not be In such
numbers as to overstock the demand for
long time to come. Country Gentle.

Curious Belief of the MaorIs.

The Maoris of New Zealand and the
adjoining islands have strange belief
concerning the cause of the ebb and
Cow Of the tides. These phenomena, it
seems, they attribute to a huge water
breathing dragon, which they call Para
ia, who is said to do his work by power
full and regular respirations, or in
gurgitations and regurgitations of wa
ter. With one tribe in Australia, and
another in the Sandwich Islands, it is
customary to speak of a drowned per-
son as having fallen into the great
throat of Parata, a superstition
which proves a connection between
these widely-separated islands at re-
mote period of their history. The New
Zealanders have a myth which tells
that their island was populated by
Parata bringing a loaded canoe in his
mouth from some far-away land. A
cunning priest confined in the monsters
mouth with the others in the canoe re-
cited "a charm which caused the dragon
to disgorge his load in time for those
imprisoned to safely steer to the coast
of what is now New Zealand. The words
OF this charm are still preserved and re-
cited in times of extreme peril, San
Francisco Chronicle.

FinelY-Balanced Doors.

The Bank OF England's doors are now
80 finely balanced that the clerk, by
pressing knob under his desk, can
close the outer doors instantly, and they
can not be opened again except by spe-

the daring and ingenious unemployed
of the great metropolis from robbing

English banking establishments are
nightly submerged in several feet of

Even on this statement the Press
points out that expenses will exceed re-

not all. The Press adds that at least
S25, 900, 900 more must be included for

siderably less than the friends of the

that miscellaneous appropriations will

Reyoltingiy Shocking Things DIR. Bayo,
Saw in Dahomey.
A letter from Paris, giving details OF
the adventures of DR.. Bayol, the Gov
ernor of Kotonou, who was imprisoned
by the King of Dahomey, appears in
the Vossische Zeitung. DR.. Bayol him.
self was not ill-treated, but was forced
to witness the most horrible executions,
and was closely watched night and day
by three of the most important chiefs.
He was forced to be present at the exc.
cution of his secretary and his inter
prefer, and was a spectator OF the sacri.
flee at one time of eighty-four human
beings and at another OF forty-two. The
victims were bound, mutilated in hor-
rible manner, and then, still alive,
hung up by the heels. Then their
bodies were opened with large round
knives and the intestines taken out,
after which the corpses were thrown
into ''place of skulls" where in forty
eight hours they we're reduced by birds
of prey to skeletons.
DR.. Bayol was every time compelled to
view each corpse. while the execution
ers carefully turned the heads of their
victims toward him. Upon one occasion
he desired to buy off some negroes,
whom he recognized as proteges from
Porto Novo, but the King angrily re-
fused to allow it. Every day his dusky
Majesty danced before the doctor, exc
cutting steps and jumps which would
have been highly entertaining under
other circumstances. At these times the
King wore sandals and sort of Grecian
capon his head, and six Amazons danced
with him.
The Amazons DR.. Bayol describes as
very fiends. One day the doctor wit
messed spectacle which he will never
forget. At sign from the King five
hundred Amazons rushed upon living
OK and tore it into pieces in few sec
onds; then each, with piece of raw
flesh in her mouth, marched off singing,
while five of their number held the skin
and head of their victim aloft in tri-
umph. In festal garments they witnessed
from the roofs of tho neighboring huts
the human sacrifices of the next
day. and laughed heartily. They al
ways appear perfectly resigned, and go
quietly to death when their turn comes.
The King is very suspicious, and would
not sign the letter written to the Presi-
dent of the French Republic. DR..
Bayols return to the coast was extreme
ly dangerous, for he had no passport,
and was therefore obliged, in spite of
illness, to march more than fifty miles
in one day through country with which
he was quite unacquainted. On arriv-
ing at Kotonou he heard OF the death
of the King, whom, had he been still at
Dahomey, he would probably have been
accused of poisoning.

It's Threatened Destruction to Shade
Trees in Portions of Ohio.
According to a a newspaper bulletin
just issued by c. M. Weed, Entomolo-
gist of the Ohio Experiment Station,
the maple bark-louse has become de-
structively numerous over azlarge por-
tion of Ohio, and is creating much
alarm by its presence. 1t is especially
at work upon the shade trees OF cities
and villages, and unless checked will do
serious injury. The presence of the
pests is shown by the occurrence upon
the twigs of maple trees, especially on
the under side, of a brown, circular,
leathery scale about one-quarter of an
inch in diameter, beneath which is q
fluffy, cottony mass, that at this time is
alive with hundreds of young lice, ap.
pearing to the unaided eye as minute
white specks moving about.

Chemistry of Strawberries

According to recent bulletin of the
Tennessee Experiment Station, the gen
eral composition of the strawberry is as
follows: Water, 9O.52 per cent; dry
matter, GAS. The strawberry is there
fore essentially watery fruit less
than one-tenth of its weight being solid
matter, and can therefore hardly be
rated as very nutritious. The small
amount of food constituents present
are so diluted by the 80 per cent of
water that to sustain life very large
quantity would have to be consumed.
The Office of this, as we'll as other
fruits is not however, so muck one of
nutrition as that of supplying the bene-
fetal vegetable acids to the system,
diluted and favored by the water and
sugar and delicate fruit aroma, the com.
bination of which, in the case of the
strawberry, has attained so delightful
degree of perfection. The free acid
of the strawberry is largely malic, and
exists to the average amount Of 1.37
per cent. of the dry matter. Apples
contain 0.S per cent of free acid; pears
contain o. per cent. of free acid; plums
contain 90 per cent free acid; currants,
4 to per cent.

A Very Good Reason.

Druggists who are selling Smiths Tonic
Syrup, made by Dr. John Bull, of Louis
vile, KY, wonder that its sales increase SO
rapidly. At first they began to buy a quar-
ter or half dozen, but found that amount
was sometimes sold in a single day, and
now they say they are obliged to buy in
half gross and gross lots in order to keep
supply on hand There is a very good reason
why Smiths Tonic Syrup should sell so
well There is not much newspaper adver-
Using done, but it advertises itself. Every
bottle used is an advertisements, for it does
exactly what it is expected to do It will
break up the chils and fever in less time
than any other drug 1t will prevent and
quickly cure colds, influenza, la grippe, etc
In fact, it can be substituted for quinine in
every instance, and with better satisfac-
ton, for its effect is more certain and re-
liable, and it never leaves the unpleasant
effects that qunine sometimes does.

MAPLE BARK-LousE, FEMALE.

BILE, the next method I would suggest is
spraying with what is known as lero-
sene emulsion. ~
This is made by adding two parts Of
kerosene to one part of a solution made
by dissolving half pound of hard soap in
one gallon of boiling water, and churn-
ing the mixture through force pump
with very small nozzle, until the whole
forms creamy mass, Which will thick
en- into jelly-likc substance on cooling.
The soap solution should be hot when
the kerosene is added, but of course
must not be near the fire. The cmul-
sion thus made is to be diluted before
using with twelve parts of cold water.
This must be applied soon after the lice
hatch with force pump and spray noz-
zle. See that the kerosene is thorough
ly emulsitied, else it is liable to injure
the foliage.

there was month ago from roo to 1000
small white eggs. These eggs have
since Matched into young lice which are
now scattered over the trees, and will
soon fix themselves upon the leaves
where they will remain throughout the
season. They inserts tiny beak into
the leaf and suck the sap. In autumn,
before the foliage drops, they desert the
leaves and fasten themselves to the
twigs. Much of the sap that is sucked
from the foliage passes through the-bod-
les and falls to the ground. This is
called honey dew.
In cities the simplest and easiest
plan to get rid of them is to force a
stream of water from a hose into the
trees and thus wash off the scales and
young lice. OF course Il single wash
ing can not be expected to clear the
trees completely, but the treatment
should be repeated several times.
The more water pressure on at the
time of treating, the better. When this
simple water treatment is not practica-

This means that with a majority of

Democrats are still in minority in the

district system, under which the ar
engagements of the districts counts for
more than the party vote at large.
Under this system the Democratic
party was suppressed as far as Congress
is concerned inColorado, Kansas, Maine,
