Destroying Lice on Cattle.

Aloes in fine powder is a specific for
lice on all animals, and as it has no
poisonous properties, its intense Bit
terness being what kills,it can be free
ly applied. and as it is to be used in
dry state its application is as safe in
cold as in warm weather, consequently
it is free from all objections urged
against other remedies. Use with a
fine pepper box, busting and rubbing
it in all over, then curry out inside of
week. Or take a pound of fresh
lard. fourth of pint of kerosine oil
and four ounces of sulphur powder or
flowers Of sulphur; mix them thor.
oughly. With this rub the animals
head, also the spine and upon the
shoulders and brisket and under the
thighs and wherever the vermin is
seen. Repeat the operation once a
week until the lice disappear, which
will not be long. Or take quassia
chips, steep in water and wash the
animal thoroughly. One application
will kill the lice, and in case of nits
that are not hatched, the second ap.
plication, put on a few days after. will
entirely rid the stock of the vermin.

THE PRACTICAL PROsPECroR.

The practical prospector is rapidly
taking the place Of the ignorant and
inexperienced, says the Mining and
Scientific Press. He has paid for his
knowledge, not by years of loss mixed
up with his gains, to indelibly i'm
press bis experience upon the mental
faculties. IL is a business to which
few are adapted and fewer still are
successful. There is nothing in the
business world that requires such q
wide knowledge as that of mining and
prospecting. The practical prospector of
to-day understands every detail of the
SOLITAIRE. dynamic and chemical fac
tors most effective in the worlds past
periods Of universal formation. He
has learned that while heat, water
and vapors have produced deposits in
veins and otherwise, many of which
have proven valuable, that the greater
part OF the great bonanzas OF the
world are always in connection with
two OF the six principal divisions Of
igneous or eruptive erocks-trachyt and
felsyte-the former generally lying in
great fields and truncated masses, the
latter in dikes and in overhows and
older formations. These again have
been divided into various character
istics, owing to the period of eruption
or subsequent metamorphism, all of
which have been instrumental in min
eralizing the adjoining country rocks
in veins and deposits. The secrets Of
the modern prospector and mine man.
ager lie in his knowledge OF the dates
and effects Of the porphry overfows
and intrusions. The advance from
prehistoric mining was slow, but is
now coeval with all other industries
and scientific attainments.

Vast Quantities of Stores Which

How the Arms and Equipments

The wind-up of the war. when IL Is
really ana truly hnished-a condition
by no means so definitely settled in the
minds of the military authorities as in

Of?
Well. that question has not come for
final decision as yet. There may be
more fighting. you see. II the peace

tina President Mckinley is gravely in
doubt as to whether the conflict Is yet
over. and there is never any telling
what the intangible and invisible

difficulty adjusts itself. there will be
vast Accommodations OF p~erishable stores
to be disposed of.
Large numbers of horses. doubtless.
will be sold at auction, as were the
animals that were to have been ridden
by the rough riders. in New York the
other day. The latter brought wretched
prices. averaging not much better than
SIS apiece. because of their dilapidated
condition, and IL is beyond a doubt
that the government will lose a great
deal of money on the thousands Of ami
mails which are yet to be disposed OF.
After the close of the civil war III. 0O0
mules were sold. one might almost say
in a batch. by the wal department. and
the prices they fetched were a bur
lesque of value. Not long afterward,
