the government should send an army
through this state and destroy the
private property Of loyal citizens in
the course of its operations, compen-

Certainly similar compensation
should be made where private prop.
erty is destroyed to prevent the
spread Of an infectious disease. The
fact that . stock growers cattle are
afflicted with such q disease is not
his fault; and unless he were com
pensated for their loss in the event
of their being killed, he would have
a right to keep them and take the
chance of their possible recovery.
There is little doubt that the dem

posed the election of democratic

resisted because they had not shown

The situation should suggest to
the stock growers that they should

They allow partisan considerations

to be a marvellous remedy and to re-
lieve the sufferer when all else fails.
It is easy to make and easy to apply,
and it consists simply of black pepper
and camphor. Take quantity of black
pepper and put it in handkerchief.
Then fold the handkerchief over so
tina the grains cannot fall out and
saturate the whole thing with cam
phor. Bind this plaster" or the head
and lie down. In very few moments
the headache will be relieved and the
patient will be asleep. When the hand

Haydn's turn, and Mozart came full of

the work was beautiful and his must

Animal Longevity.

Some curious statistics have been
published upon what an insurance ac-
tuary would describe as the "expecta-
ton Of life" in animals Among the
larger species of cattle there is some
approach to uniformity. Thus for the
horse and the ass the extreme limit is
about tnirty-five years and for horned
cattle about thirty. For the dog it is
given as twenty-five, while sheep,
goats, pigs and cats are grouped at fiji
teen. But there are stranger dispari-
ties among birds. While a goose may
live thirty years, sparrow twenty
five and crow as many as 100, ducks,
poultry and turkeys die Of old age at
twelve years. The palm for longevity
is divided between elephant and par
rot Both pass the century.
