A valuable Antidote.

A South African man announces that
he has discovered an absolute remedy
or. antidotc for the bite of the tsetse fly
which kills cattle, and is so confident of
the virtue of his specific that he has ac-
cepted contract to transport Portu-
guese military stores on the backs OF
bullocks through the districts infested
by this pest. The Importance of such a
discovery could scarcely be overesti-
mated, for the tsetse has proved hith-
erto. insurmountable obstacle to the set
Element of vast and fertile regions. The
fly is small insect, harmless to man,
large game, goats, etc, but deadly to
horses, oxen, dogs and donlxeys. Its
bite proves fatal in few days. and a
=nest-mortem examination reveals ex-
traordinary changes in the body of the
victim. One of the most remarkable eff
fects is seen in the blood, which loses
consistency and color. Without oxen or
cattle, trade and agriculture have been
impossible, and this apparently insig-
nificant fly, which has cut so great a
.ipurc in the history of African explora-
ton. has been left in almost undisputed
possession of it's territories.

A curious story is told of the manner
in which the Rothschilds aided Carafa,
the composer. The latter was very
poor. His principal income was de-
rived from a snuff box and this was the
way of it. The snuff-box was given to
the author of LA Prison d'Edim-
bourgh'' about thirty years ago by Ba-
ron James de Rothschild as a token OF
esteem. Carafa sold 1t twenty four
hours later for seventy -fve@ napoleons
tosthe same ieweler from who IN 1t had
been bought. This became known to
Rothschild who gave it again to the
musician on the following year The
next day it returned to the jewelers..
This traffic continued till the death OF
the banker, and longer still, for his
sons kept up the tradition to the great
satisfaction of Carafa. Jewellers CIR

rubs against my flesh it almost sends
me into fits. and nothing could make
me touch one voluntarily" remarked a
young lady recently STUFF and nom
sensev' said one of her listeners, I've
no patience with such antipathies. ;"
MANY people take the same view of
these peculiar dislilxes, but history re-
cords some strange instances of pet
aversions which seem to have a founda-
ton in more than stuff and nonsense. :"
! The celebrated Erasmus, although a
native of Rotterdam. had such an
aversion to fish that the smell OF it
had a patient who could never see an
eel without fainting; and another who
would fall into commissions at the sight
of carp ~
Joseph Scaliger and others could
never drink milk. Gardan was Disguised
at the sight of eggs, A king of Poland
and a secretary of France bled at the
nose when they looked at apples.
Henry III. of France, and many others
had great aversion to cats, mice and
spiders. A great huntsman in Hanover,
who would valiantly attack q wild boar,
always tainted away at the sight of a
roasted pig.
Amatus Lusitanus knew a person
whaafainted whenever he saw a rose,
and hence always kept his house when
they were in bloom. Scaliger men
tions a similar case in regard to lilies.
and Bayle about honey. Bayle him
self turned pale at seeing water-cresses.
Tycho- Brahe tainted at the sight of a
fox, and Marshal d'Albert at the sight
of pig A lady, wonderful enough,
could not endure the feel of silk or
satin. A man, not so strangely, was
known to faint whenever he heard a
servant sweeping. Vicanor swooned
whenever he heard bagpipe. Bayle
tainted at the sound of splashing water.

4 Kind In Which Much Reliance May BE
Placed.
Despicable as the practice which
goes by the name of fortune telling is,
there is kind of fortune-telling which
is not only possible but easily practiced
upon, correct principles. Thus, to be-
gin with the young, when child is
obedient to his or her parents or teach
ers, or any one else toward whom the
subordinate relation has become neces-
sary, we have no hesitation in predict
ing that good fortune will accompany
such a child into early manhood or
womanhood and insure fair start in
adult life If the case be that of an
honest energetic young man. who has
successfully advanced from the posi-
Ntion of apprentice and journeyman into
that of a master-mechanic or boss, we
can tell his fortune without much diff
Guilty. So with regard to those who
have chosen profession as the means
of livelihood. Let us see how they con-
duct their business. If they do this in
diligently, industriously and honestly
at the start, they will be very apt to
continue to do so, and success will be
sure in the. long run. Unprincipled
men, in the same line, may get ahead
Of them at'the beginning but will fare
worst in the end, and SO illustrate the
truth of the maxim that honesty is the
best policy. We will confess that we
are no foftune-teller IL it does not so
turn out IN. Y. Ledger.
