MCDOUGAlIS' SHEEP DIP.

McDougalls' non-polsonous sheep dip and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect eN-
terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry, etc, has been used with great success
in this county for several years. 1t instantly
exterminates all ticks, lice and maggots; is
the only true specific for scab, and finely
stimulates the growth of the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at n
special strength it also waterproots the fieeces,
thus affordng the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United States,
Great Britain and many places abroad it is
now generally adopted-having to a large
extent displaced the use of tobacco, arsenic,

English gentleman in New York, who
found young emigrant girl of his own
nationality who had missed her friends
and was alone in the street. He asked her

Did you ever wonder why it is that
ice, being formed of CONCEALED water,
floats? And why, on some still lakes, it
begins to form at the bottom before it
does on the surface2 Scientists explain
these enigmas this wise: Ice is specifcal-
ly lighter than water just about to
freeze, and therefore floats in it. This
is one reason why the formation of ice
usually begins at the surface.
Another is its peculiar law of expan-
sion The general law is that cold in
duces expansion; this law holds good
with water only to q certain point.
When water has cooled down to within
IA degs. of freezing it ceases to contract
as before with increase of cold and be-
gins to expand till it freezes.
This expansion causes the colder por-
tions of the water to rise to the surface.
The formation of ground ice" OF
''anchor ice," as it is sometimes called,
is the only exception to the rule given
above.-St. Louis Republic.

EX-PRESIDENT GREVY reer When law

of 1880.
On the restoration of peace he returned
to his books, and after admission to the
bar almost Immediately gained repute as
an advocate. He participated inthe up
heaval of 1S48, and later on, as Il member
of the constituent assembly, opposed the
designs of Louis Napoleon. The latter
recognized his activity by putting M. Grevy
in Jail, where he remained for several
months. From the time of his release I'M
til 1868 he figured little in public affairs,
and consistently refused to take the oath
of allegiance to the empire.
In the year named, however. he yielded
to the Established ORDER" and was at
once elected a member of the corps legis-
latif from the department of the Jura.
Upon the fall of the empire his chiefest
period of political activity began. From
1871 to 1879 his parliamentary career was
distinguished by all the tact and ability of
a great statesman. Subsequently as presi-
dent of the republic he gave France eight
years of peace and prosperity. Then came
the scandal of 1887, which forced him into
retirement. Wilson, his son-in-law, was
charged with having sold decorations of
the Legion of Honor, and Greyy at once
resigned the presidency. The remainder
of his life was passed in retirement.

The Emperor as an After Dinner Speaker
AS an after dinner speaker the EN-
peror has no superior in Germany. He
speaks readily without notes, expresses
himself with vigor, never descends to
conventional commonplace, and, above
all, gives the very best assurance that
his words are not prepared for him.
have heard conspicuous speakers in Eng
land and in our own country, and, if
comparisons are not in this case invidi-
GUS, | should say that the German en-
peror need not fear to meet such an au-
dience as even a New England society
dinner assemblies. One Of the prettiest
speeches have listened to was delivered
by the emperor in answering the toast to
his wife in the province where she was
born. 1t was during the great combined
naval and military naneuvers of 1890, at
which the United States was represented
by Commander Ward, and Great Britain
by Admiral Hornby
The emperors words were: "I desire
to express to you, my dearest sir, the
gratitude felt by the empress and myself
for the kind words we have just heard
AT the same time our thanks to the
whole for the day we have passed and
for the reception which the province has
prepared for us, This day was, how
ever, not needed in order to assure us
of the warm friendship we have found
here.
''The bond that unites me to this prov
ince and chains me to her in manner
different from all others of my empire is
the jewel that sparkles at my side, her
majesty the empress Sprung from this
soil, the type of the various virtues of
German princess, it is to her that 1 owe
it if am able to meet the severe labors
of my Office with u happy spirit and
make head against them"
The words of the emperor were unex-
pected, and to no one more so than to
his wife, whose face beamed with happi-
ness at the compliment she so publicly
received. Nor did any one who listened
to the speaker at that dinner think to
question the spontaneity and honesty of
the language. Poultney Bigelow in
Century.
