Wasps and Flies.

The wasp is accepted as mathematical or irritability and petty malignity, but even this much abused insect plays a beneficial part in the work of nature. A number of wasps were seen by R M Harrington of Bray, Ireland, buzzing about his COWS Closer inspection re- vealed that they were all busy catching flies. One white COW drew more wasps than any of the others because the mo- ment fly alighted it was seen at once against the skin. When 8 wasp catches fly, it immediately bites off both wings, sometimes leg or two and oc- oasionally the head. MT. Harrington saw some of the wasps, when laden with one fly, catch another without letting go the first and then fly away with both. There was a constant stream of wasps carrying away flies, probably to feed the larvB in their nests, and returning again to the COWS to catch more. In about 20 minutes MT. Harrington estimated that between 300 and 400 flies were caught on two COWS lying close to him.-San Francisco Argonaut.

 MT. James Rowland of this village, states that for twenty-five years his wife has been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent MI. Rowland for the doctor. but be had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead of going for the physician he went to the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife did not approve of MT. Rowland's purchase at first, but nevertheless applied the Balm thoroughly and in an hours time was able to go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always gives relief. He says that no medicine which she had used ever did her as much good.
