III. e. Hillman Has a Gus in His Possession
He Claims is the Famed Insect.
The insect commonly known as the
kissing Bug" which has for several
weeks past ben lavishing osculatory
caresses on residents in Eastern cities,
Philadelphia especially, and which has
once or twice been reported as having
made visitatiOns in this city, is held
in dread by people generally. On one
or two occasions death has resulted
from the dreaded caress On the other
hand there are persons who scott al
the idea of such an insect. Whether
this is so or not H. E. Hillman has in
his possession a bug which he claims
is the real thing" 1t is/a bug OF
medium brown co4or, about an inch
and a quarter in length aud a quarter
of an inch in width across the back,
having wings and eight legs. In fact
its shape is that of the pinching bug,
having the pinchers at the end Of its
head. The kissing bug however
differs from the pinching bug in APP
pearance from the fact that 1t has two
horns or feelers protruding from each
side OF the head an inch or so. The
bug in Mr.. Hillman's possession was
caught on the Island, and can be seen
at any time at his store.

WOMEN T L E
A. Lest This Is Said to Be the C,,ss
In the City of San Fran
cisco, Cal.

There are more women than mel in
San Francisco.
In 4 population of &c., 600 the fe.
males number nearly 100, OOO.
The men die in a ratio of two to every
one m
The death rate per thousand among
the white population is ISIS per cest..
the Chinese rate being 37.S3 per cent.
More people die each year in March
than in any other month, but the win
ter months between December and
March keep close behind in their death
rate.
June is the month of the least deaths
but the most suicides.
Although the men of this city die in
larger numbers than women, their av-
erage age is much greater. Mans
greatest mortality occurs between 50
and so years, 4 woman's being under
one year and between 20 and 80 years.
Male deaths are in excess until so
years are attained; the proportion
after that is 80 males to 90 females.
From 90 to 100 years the numbers are
ten males to II females.
OF the "a people who lived more than
80 years, according to statistics COM
piled by the health department of San
Francisco for the past fiscal year, Ire
land leads in longevity. Next in order
are Germany, the United States, Scot
land, Italy and England. All of these
aged people have been married.
Twice as many men die from nervous
disorders, alcoholism and diseases of
the circulatory system as women.
Tuberculosis is the commonest cause
of death. Next in order of fatality are
heart disease, pneumonia and brain
troubles.
DIR. j. NJ. Williamson. who assisted
IN compiling the last health report of
the city, says:
81 think the higher proportionate
death rate among men is due to lives
they lead and to their business expo
sures. In the lists of occupations given
are bakers. lauudrynen. laborers, boil
ermakers, cooks, butchers and clerks,
most of whom encounter more or less
exposure, working in overheatcd and
badly-ventilated places. Women are
more comfortably situated at home and
better able to take care of themselves
physically."-San Francisco Examiner

FEEDING A R HORSES
A Farmer Tells of q System
Which Has Produced Very Sat-
~isfactory Results.

l have always believed that we farm
ers feed too much hay to our horses.
Certainly we feed fully twice as much
as our friends in the city, and only about
half as much grain as horse-owners in
the city feed. Since June 1, l have been
feeding my horses by a novel method,
which | find eminently satisfactory. At
the end of May, this year, l found my
self without hay for my horses. and a
large mount of work TO do. l could
procure hay from some of my neigh
bors, but of very poor quality. This
kind of hay l did not want.
Up to this time the grass pasture was
very poor, but along toward June it be-
gan to be fair. l therefore decided to
get along without hay, and depend en-
tirely on pasture and grain. On the
evening of June /, | turned my work
horses to pasture. In the morning |
took them up and gave them a feed of
oats and bran, about five quarts per
horse. That is all they got for break
fast, in addition to what grass they had
eaten. At noon they were fed no hay.
only a feed of oats and bran six
quarts per animal and nothing else. AT
four o'clock. as is usual with US, we took
them up for tea, watered them and fed
another feed of oats. At shutdown, when
we knock off work. the horses were
turned out to pasture. This has been
and is still the bill of fare for my
horses-grass during the night, and
grain (about a half-bushel of oats. in
three feeds) during the day. AS a re-
suit, my horses are doing s%plendidly
and gaining all the time.
L am greatly pleased with this method
of feeding horses-hay or pasture at
night, and grain during the day. A.
Macdonald, in County Gentleman.
