Death to the Horses.

1t is a white and dreary plain. There
is line of struggling gum trees beside a
feeble water course.
Six wild horses-brombies, as they are
called-have been driven down, corralled
and caught. They have fed on the leaves
of the myall and stray bits of salt bush.
After a time they are got within the
traces.
They are all young and they look not
so bad. We start. They can scarcely be
held in for the first few miles. Then
they begin to soak in perspiration. An
other five miles and they look drawn
about the fanks, and what we thought
was flesh is dripping from them.
Another five, and the flesh has gone.
The ribs show, the shoulders protrude
Look! A poler's heels are knocking
against the whiffletree. 1t is twenty
miles now. There is a gulp in your
throat as you see wreck stagger out of
the traces and stumble over the plain,
head near the ground and death upon it's
back. There is no water in that direc-
ton, worn out creature.
1t comes upon you like a sudden blow.
These horses are being driven to death.
And why? Because it is cheaper to kill
them on this stage of thirty miles than
to feed them with chaff at $3.50 a ton.
And now another sways. Look at the
throbbing sides, the quivering limbs.
He falls.
"Driver, for heavens sake, can't you
see?"
81 do; SO help me God, do. But
we've got to get there. I'll let them out
at another mile"
And you are an Anglo-Saxon, and this
is Christian Round the Com
pass in Australia"

Not the Weaker Sex.

To refer to women as the weaker sex,
a German scientist says, is surely mis-
take, for they have always known how
to preserve their dominion over the so
called stronger SEX Men are indeed wo-
mems most obedient slaves. Solomon
said his wives were bitterer than death,
and surely there never was greater slave
to woman. Statistics show that seven
wives survive every ten famous men.
Heloise survived the loss of her beloved
Abelard twenty-five years, and similarly
the wife of Washington, though she de-
clared she could never get over the death
of her husband, outlived him thirty
years.-San Francisco Argonaut.

MARTIN Z. RYAN.

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are
keepers of the government Light
house at Sand Beach, Mich. and are
blessed with a daughter four years old.
Last April she was taken down with
Measles, followed with dreadful
cough and turning into fever. Doc
tors at home and in Detroit treated
her, but in vain; she grew worse rap
idly, until she was mere handful of
bones" Then she tried DR.. Kings
New Discovery, and after the use of
two and half bottles, was completely
cured. They say DR.. Kings New
Discovery is worth it's weight in gold,
yet you may get trial bottle free at

Buried Wealth in France.

In Normandy the English conquest in
the Fifteenth century, followed by thei1
ultimate expulsion, has given rise to
many traditions of buried treasure,
which the least superstitious attribute
to the English. Throughout France the
Revolution, without doubt, gave occasion
to many secret boards, the owners Of
which may well have perished in the
massacres and prescriptions of the Reign
of Terror.-Al1 the Year Round.

In an address by S. A. Forbes before
the Society of Economic Entomologists
he said:
Kerosene emulsion has been fully stud
led as to methods of preparation with
various kinds Of soap-hard and soft
and with milk, by Cook, of Michigan:
has been used with success by Fletcher,
of Canada, for the cabbage plutella; by
Fernald, of Massachusetts, on the red
spider; by DR.. Jabez Fisher, of the same
state, for the pear tree psylla; by Rich
mond, in Utah, for the cabbage flea bee
tie, and by Osborne, in Iowa, for plant
lice of all descriptions. Applied to the
asparagus beetle by Smith, in New Jer-
sey, it killed a large part of the larvae,
but not the eggs. A notable idea in the
application of kerosene has been worked
out by Goff, the experiment station hor-
ticulturist in Wisconsin, who has de-
vised pump and nozzle by which kero-
sene and water are mixed Immediately
at the nozzle in any desired proportions,
and thrown out as q fine spray without
the necessity of previous emulsifcation.
