Fly-Repelling Mixtures.

Prof Day. of the Guelph College of
Agriculture gave us his recipe for a
fiy-repelling mixture, as follows: One
tablespoonful of crude carbolic acid
and one quart of seal oil or any kind of
CHEAP fish oil; mix and apply with a
brush. Applied in this way it retains
its effectiveness almost a week, while
if applied with a hand Sprayer the ap-
plication has to be repeated quite often,
say three or four times week. / have
used various mixtures of this kind,
among them a number of patented and
highly recommended oneG 1 have
proved materially better than any
other and my homemade mixtures are
giving fully as good service as any
other / have tried. The mixture of
crude carbolic acid and fish oil is prob
ably as cheap as any fly repeller can
be made, but we cannot easily get the
fish oil except in the large cities, and
use a mixture of oil of tar, which l
can get at IS cents a gallon, and kero-
Sene and l sometimes add a little
crude carbolic acid, although this is
not absolutely necessary. This may be
applied with a brush or rag. l prefer
to spray it on with one of the 50-cent
hand sprayers. But 1 find that in order
to be an effective protection the appli-
cation must be repeated at far shorter
intervals than is usually recommend
ed Whether you use a homemade
mixture or one of the patented fly re-
pellers, once a day is none too often
when you apply it with a sprayer, and
than twice a day. 1t is quickly done,
is not expensive, and what lot of tor
ment it saves the poor brutes.-The

STRANGE ACCIDENT
Resulted in a Tragedy and Ended a
Colombian Revolution.

THE rejection of the canal treaty by
Colombia said gentleman recently
who has been following affairs in that
country very closely for the last sew
numerous revolutions in that republic.
and how it was brought to an end by
an accident. don't remember which
one 1t waS-I mean its number, for 1
have lost my memprandum in which
had the revolutions of the last forty
years arranged Observation-Disclosures is,
one numbered. admiral Jewett, Cap
tain McCalla and another American
naval officer named Judd were central
figures in the tragedy that brought the
revolution to a Sudden termination.
Admiral Jewett, it seems, who was in
charge of the American forces at Colon,
| sent McCalla ashore with detachment
] of men to protect, the American inter
ests. Jewett wanted to get away, and
determined, without warrant or au-
! thority, to get the rebel leader and talk
| the matter over with him. He sent for
the fellow-Fve forgotten his name
and he came down to meet the admiral
In the meantime the rebels, fearing
that something might happen to their
chief. captured Judd and took him to
the mountains near where the confer
ence was to take place, to watch the
palavering from afar, telling Judd that
| if any harm befell their leader his life
would pay the penalty Before Jewett
/ arrived, it seems, the Americans
| learned of the capture of Judd, and.
the repels guarding him being in sight.
| they took the rebel chief. placed a rope
around his neck and made him stand
upou a Sat car in full view of the
rebels in the mountains 1t was not
their purpose to injure him. only to Sc
cure the release of Judd. But in some
way the car got started down HILL the
chief was yaiked from the car and
suspended in midair. Every one was
so surprised they never thought of cut
ting the rope for some time. and when
| they did the rebel leader was dead, and
the revolution had thus been brought
to an end. But that does not end the
story. One of the officers, a gallant
| fellow. who was afterward released by
the rebels. became i'll and was sent TO
New York. He was later sent to the
insane asylum, where he is at his time,
| laboring under the hallucination that
the rebels are still after him. 1t seems
that when he left Colon he had a large
! chunk of silver and when he left the
steamer at New York he wandered
about the streets aimlessly for time,
being finally taken care of by the po-
| lice. then sent to the asylum. New

HOLLEBEN WAS
CALLED HOME
Kaiser Is Wroth With the Ger.
man Ambassador.
EMPEROR GIVEN WRONG CUE
ESPECIALLY IN THE MATTER OF
THE KIPLING LETTER.

Berlin, Jan. administrator Won
HOIleben's leave Of absence from
Washington is pretty generally re-
ceived here as being his virtual recall,
due, it is said, to the dissatisfaction OF
the government with his management
of the Venezuelan affair. This is as
serted without reserve in important
newspapers and no official denials have
yet been forthcoming. 1t seems that
the government feels it was misled, or
att least not fully informed, by the
Washington embassy respecting Presi-
dent ROosevelt's attitude when he was
requested to arbitrate the Venezuelan
dispute. The opinion is also that Dr.
Won HOlleben's dispatches regarding the
policy of the United States in the Vene-
zuelan business and its general foreign
policy have been neither adequate nor
precise.
A variety of other reasons may have
contributed to the lack of confidence
in the ambassador, the Vossische lei
tung. for instance. attributes import
ance to the telegram sent by Emperor
William to Mrs. Kipling on March .,
1899. when Kipling was i'll in New York.
The newspaper assumes that Dr. Won
HOlleben counseled the sending OF the
telegram and that the emperor, espe-
cidlly since the publication of Kipling's
recent poem, THE Rowers,'' feels he
Emperor William, when Kipling was
i'll, wired as follows to Mrs. Kip
ling:
Berlin, March 5, 1S99.-Ars. Rudyard
Kipling, Hotel Grenoble. New York:
AS an enthusiastic admirer of the in
comparable works of your husband. I
wait with anxiety news of his con-
dition. God grant that ne may be
spared to you and to all who are
thankful for the heart-moving manner
in which he has sung the deeds of our
great, common race.
(Signed) WILLIAM, l. R"
DR.. Won HOlleben's critics also aver
that he showed an unskilled hand in
the great champagne war and in the
Witt incident and also in permitting
himself TO become the object Of press
attacks, even though unjustly. The
matter of the statue OF Frederick the
Great is also remembered, with its in
different reception by part of the
American people. This, it is alleged,
DR.. Holleben ought to have foreseen,
and he should have dissuaded the en-
peror from offering the statue to the
United States.
