"a Sure Cure for Mosquitoes"

Mr.. Francis McCabe, who comes from
Seagirt, NY, where the mosquitoes are
SO thick and savage that they have been
known to eat blanket off horse, says
that some years ago he saw in newspa'
per that the people in the jungles OF
India protected themselves from the
pest by planting castor beans around
their houses. He tried the experiment
and found it great success. "Now," he
says although the mosquitoes may be so
thick 100 yards away that you can not
see the stars they never come near my
house. 1 have several of the plants set
out in my garden, while on the rear and
side porches they grow in tubs. have
heard that poisonous substance on
the under side of the leaf of the palma
christi, which is the technical name, kills
the long billed imps of voracity. The
prevention is not only absolute, but the
plants add greatly to the attractiveness
of the house, and cost very little."-

The Democratic New York Sun printed
the following in 1887. 1t would seem now
that the article was intended for the
present time, it is 80 applicable. 1t says:
"There is labor in every pound of iron,
every yard of cloth, every gallon of wine
imported into the country. This foreign
labor displaces just so much American
labor. If less wages are paid to this
foreign labor than our American labor
ers receive, than the consistent
tendency of the importations is to reduce
wages here to European standards.
Whenever in our folly we have tried
free trade or an approach to free, our
labors have lost their high wages, and
then their employment at any wages,
whatever. Our manufacturers, undersold
by cheaper foreign production, were
forced to close their furnaces, mills and
factories, our workmen and proprietors
exhibited to the nations of the earth
the spectacle of a people claiming to
be great sitting in idlness and poverty,
waiting for the growth of sufficient pol
itical reason to save q nations industry
from utter ruin by restoration of protect
i've duties on foreign importations. The
right to protect your labor is as sacred
as the right to protect your lives. And
duty to do SO is just as obligatory. Your
title to your own country's markets is su.
preme. No foreign competitor has any
right whtever in it, Shut him out! Don't
forget that this competitor is in every
ton of rails, every ton of copper, every
crate OF crockery, every bundle of car.

For Member Congress, 9th District,
GEO. w. HULICK.
1t Begins to Crop Out.

Some time ago We had occasion to call
attention to the close affinity existing
between Gazzie and the T,gO.for. The
verifcation begins to appear. At the
Milford convention DIR. Stevens, of the
$anitarium, was chosen as the Demo.
cratic Congressional nominee, clearly
because Of his financial ability, rather
than his craftsmanship. Branson Wor-
ley, an able aspirant from this county,
and several gentlemen from other
counties whose services entitled them
to recognition, were ruthlessly turned
down by those who we're given to un.
derstand that Stevens had the Doodle.
1t was triumphantly and exultingly as.
serted that he was another $org, and
that his Doodle would carry him through.
The plan was to raise a hue and cry
against Mr.. Hulick for the alleged use
OF Doodle, and under cover of this diver
sion to tap the Stevens barrel and flood
the counties of the district. Stevens
knew that his only hope lay in the use
OF the dollars at his command, as he
had neither ability nor party service to
bring to his aid. Yet he was anxious
for the nomination.
1t was thought that all who apposed
the use OF Doodle would vote against
Hulick, while all who appreciated it's
easy requirement by peculiar political
methods could be quietly secured for
Stevens. Already has Gazzie begun
carrying out this program. Already
she has lifted her voice of outrageous
falsehood against Hulick, and, already,
as in last falls campaign, she begins to
swear that the sainted candidates of
Democracy will not use the vile stuff.
This is partly 10. deceive the general
public, and partly that when the Demo.
cratic workers ask for their hire, she
may retain larger per cent. of the con.
signment.
Now comes the Two.. for and joins it's
squeak with the howl of Carrie, and
says, "No, DR.. Stevens won't use any
boodle!" Since when did the TaCo- for
gain entrance to the counsels of Democ.
racy Since when did the $apitarium
Sucker make it the repository of his
condolences?

ations which we had to retract in our

A WAR FOR LIFE.
Struggles of the Indian to Perpetusso

well understood by most of US, given
by an old Scotchman, who spoke with
strong accent. Whats firt?" said
he. "a man who proposes and is re-

than can say, but so it was, and am

EARLY USE OF OXEN.
They Preceded the Horse in Agricultural
Labor.


Labor.
The help which our bovine servants
render US by the power which they
exert in traction, as in drawing plows,
sleds or wagons, appears to have been
first rendered long after their introduce
ton to the ways of man. The first Of
these uses in which the drawing
strength Of these animals was made
serviceable appears to have been in the
work of blowing. In primitive days
and with primitive tools, hand delving
was a sore task.
The inventive genius who first con-
trived to overturn the earth by means
of the forke5 limb Of a tree, shaped in
the sem lance of pillow and drawn by
oxen, began great revolution in the
art of agriculture. To this unknown
genius we may award a place among
the benefactors Of mankind, quite as
distinguished as that which is occupied
by the equally unknown inventors Of
the arts of making fires or of smelling
ores. After the experience with the
strength of oxen had been won from
the work of blowing 1t Yves easy to pass
to the other grades of their employ
ment where they were made to draw
carriages.
Next after the contribution which the
kindred of the bulls have made by their
strength we must set that which has
come from their milk. Although this
substance can be obtained in small
quantities from several other domestic
ated animals, the species of the genus
Bos alone have yielded it in sufficient
quantities greatly to affect the develop
ment of man. 1t is difficult to measure
the importance of the addition to the
diet, both of savage and civilized peo-
pie, which milk affords. It is fact
well known to Psychologists that in its
simple form this substance is COM
plete food, capable when taken alone of
sustaining life and insuring full de-
'velopment Of the body.

SNAKES In GEORGIA
A Prospector Reports a Terrible
Case Of Snakes.
This Man Would Not Go Back TO Snake
Hollow for All the Gems of Golcon-
de-Walking Ankle-Deep In
Reptilian Gore.

John Turney, prospector, has just
returned from a trip through northern
Georgia, and gives thrilling account
Of his experiences in Snake Hollow,
White county. He said:
al had heard of the place by name
and knew that remarkable stories were
told about it, to which paid no atten-
ton, as people have to find some vent
for their amagination, and there could
scarcely be a better place to locate
fabulous stories. The natives told me
that 1 had better not do any prospect
Ing up the hollow, but this made me
the more determined, because If they
were afraid it was a sure sign that it
had been left alone and was more apt
to find what 1 wanted than in places
that had already been thoroughly pros
pected.

dozen reptiles, kissing and squirming

thought when 1 escaped without in

beautiful spot its very homely but sig

Continuing up the hollow for about
a mile 1 found a rock that promised
well If could find the vein, and began
to test it with my hammer. A few
blows brought forth results that had
