The virtues of the species of basil (Ocymum
viride) now known the mosquito plant, are at
tracing attention in England. An army officer
has recently given a growing plant to the Botan-
ical Gardens, at Kew. He obtained It in Nigeria,
where he says, it IS known to drive mosquitoes
from its neighborhood, and the natives use an in
fusion of its leaves as cure for malartal fevers
It's virtues are known in India also. border
of it planted round the Victoria Garden, in
Bombay because the workmen were pestered by
mosquitoes and suffered from malaria. AS soon as
the hedge was completed the mosquitoes left, and
there was no more malaria among the workmen.
If the stories told of it are true it would fill a
long felt want in this country

A DIAGNOSIS OF KENTUCKY
Kentuckys hills full of rills.
And all the rls are lined with stills.
And all the stills are full of gills,
And all the gills full of thrills.
And all the thrills full of kills.
You see. the feudists DOT the hills.
And camp along the little rills
And g thirsting ts for ct the s brmIng sTa1a f gs
Each feudst whoops around and kills.
Now if they'd only stop the stills
They'd cure Kentuckys many ills
Men would be spared to climb the hills
And operate the busy stills.
However. this would mean more gills.
And that, Of course, would mean more thrills
Resulting IN the same old kills.
So all the hills and rilIs and stills,
And ali the, giils and thrills and Kills.
Are splendid for the coffin mills.
And make more undertaker's bills.
There is charming little tale from the Japanese
which is entitled to some respect for the dis
tance it has travelled:
"a Corean vessel. commanded by German ran
down the Hayam Maru. a Japanese passenger
steamer, in the Inland Sea few days ago The
Hayami Maru had no boats, and seeing this. five
Japanese bluejackets, who happened to be among
the passengers, clambered board the Corean
-teamer, forced their way through the Chinese
sailors. who were calmly smoking their pipes.
lowered two boats and saved the lives OF forty
three persons left struggling in the water through
the sinking OF the Fayami Maru."
IT is to be presumed that the Corean vessel
hove to for their convenience in this exploit The
account continues:
Among the rescued persons the captain Of
the lost steamer. who politely asked the German
captain put into the nearest port in order that
he might give information OF what happened. The
German refused. whereupon the little japanese
produced Iethal weapon and said. In that case
I must kill myself and 1t is my melancholy duty
to inform you that you must die with me- The
German captain instantaneo1sly changed his mind
and did requested
1t is to be hoped that 'lethal weapon is un-
known to the piracy laws
