that he found that X pounds of the.
bi-sulphide is enough to each ton OF
grain. He advises that it be applied
in this following way: A ball of tow is
tied to stick of such a length that
it can reach the middle of vessel
containing the grain. The tow re-
ceives the charge of bi-sulphide, like n
sponge, and is then at once plunged in
to the vessel and left there, the mouth
or opening of the vessel then being
tightly closed. When necessary, the
stick may be withdrawn and the
charge(of one ounce to 100 pounds of
grain) may be renewed. The action of
carbon bisulphide lasts in ordinary
cases six weeks, after which period a
fresh charge is required. The BIZ
sulphide does no harm to the grain az
regards it's color, smell, or Cooking
properties and the terminating power
| of most seeds is not appreciably
affected, provided that too large n
uuanihy is not used, nor its action
continued for too long a period.
The assistant director OF agriculture
af Burmah, is reported to hay" used
naphthalin instead OF hi-sul Pride in
the following way; but insect life does
not expect anything like as good
results from the napthalin as from
the bi-sulplde: A hollow bamboo
cylinder * inches in diameter, with a
stick fitted into the cavity, il pushed
down to the bottom Of the bin; the
stick is then withdrawn and n few tea
spoonfuls of napthain powder is
poured into tho bamboo, which is
then drawn out leaving the napthalin
at the bottom of the bin. If the bins
are very large this should be done
once to every 10 feet square and the
application should be repeated every

Cs.ts as Clocks.

Everyone knows that cats can ace
IN the dark, but the reason they can do
so is because of the peculiar construc-
ton OF their eyes You may have
noticed that in moderate light the
pupil or black part i'll pussy eyes is
small and oval shaped, while in the
tu!l glare OF light it becomes narrow.
Now, in the dark, it expands to u
circle, and nearly ills the surface OF
the cyeball.
This popularity OF the cats eye is
turned to account in curious manner
by the Chinese. The Able Hue relates
that when he was travelling in China
he asked his attendant what time it
was. The man went over to n cat
that WAS quietly hasking in the sun,
and, examining it's eyes, told the Able
that it WAS about two hours after.
noon, and on being questioned how he
knew that, he explained that the
pupils OF n cats eye were largest III
the morning, and that they gradually
grew smaller as the light increased,
till they reached their minimum
at noon; that then they began 10
widen again, till at night they once
more became large,
The good Able was filled with nd
miration for the ingenuity OF Il PEG
pie who could use cats as clocks. But
it must be admitted that this way Of
telling the time OF day is rathera loos'
one, and could only be trusted in Very

OF his independence of thought and

General Loris Melikof had been
given such unbounded power to act
against the Nihilists that, as he said.
he Was virtually created vice-emperor.
He discovered, in the course of his of.
fetal Investigations, that one of the
leading Nihilist chiefs was in the habit
of visiting Tolstoi, and one day Nell
koff himself went out to the novelist =
country-house. Before the visitor had
announced himself, Tolstoi recognize
ed him, and said:
."You are Loris Melikoff. Do you
come to see me officially or as a
private mani? If you come officially
here are my keys. Search, open every
thing. You ere free to do 80"

Melikoff.

calling two stalwart servants, he said
to them. 'Throw this man out o!

The order Was obeyed to the letter,
and Melikoff dared not seek redress.

Horse Rad,sh for the Grip.

A week or two ago q lady of this

recommending the use of horse radish
as means of alleviating the grip, if not
affecting thorough cure. Several in

acted upon with strikingly favorable
results have come to the knowledge OF
the Tribune. Ordinary grated horse
radish, eaten vt frequent intervals
during the day and in connection with
food at thetable, if food is taken at
all, has been found remarkably effica-
cious in banish hing the distressing

enough. There is profound truth at

IT seems to grow harder from year
to year to collect any claim against the
government of the United States. Oc-
casionally some Indian claim is al
lowed, provided there are sufficient
number of congressman pecuniarily
interested in it. The French spoila-
ton cases serves as an illustration of
the Unfortunately tedious process of
securing claim against the govern
ment. Kansas has been quite fortu-
nate in securing some of her claims,
but the cases where private individuals
effect settlement of claims against
the government are rare.
