THE END.
SWEET PEAS KILL FLIES.
Druggist Says the Flower Attracts and
Then Poisons Them.

\ local druggist has found new agent
for the destruction of flies that for actiy-
ity and effectiveness discounts anything
heretofore offered for that purpose And
not only Is ii harmless. but it is thing
of beauty as well. After selling annually
thousands of sheets of fly paper of the
sticky and poisoned varieties and ton
more or less of insect powder, the new
antidote for the pest bids fair to super
sede all previous methods with him and
those of his friends who are in on the
secret
For several days the druggist, who is
lover of flowers, has had upon his front
cases lunches of sweet peas of n variety
grown originally in California and but
recently cultivated in this section of the
country. Each morning after opening mp
the store he has found collected around
the base of tho vessel containing the peas
quite an accumulation of dead flies
For the first day or so he regarded the
mass of defunct dipterOus insects as an
accidental gathering i'll the neigh borhood
of the flowers, but curiosity PROMPTED
him later TO watch the conduct of the
few flies left in the store. 1t was OBJ
served when the peas were freshly picked
that Immediately after their being placed
in the vases those flies in the vicinity
swarmed upon the petals and proceeded
to fasten themselves there. Shortly after
ward they fell from their positions dead.
1t is presumed that the odor of the
peas attracted them first and that after
ward they absorbed some poisonous exli-
dation that the flowers possess and died
in consequence. So far as known the
peas possess no toxic effect upon the
human being. Springfield Journal.

W H. short who lives near Rut
ledge has recently dug ny on his farm
siXty-four old muskets which have
been buried since the spring OF 1868
The farm where Mr. Short lives was
owned by his father in the time Of
the civil war, and the story Of the
guns is an interesting one.
Colonel Glover. with force Of
Union soldiers. had camped near the
Short homestead and was preparing
supper when a troop of Confederate
cavalry dashed upon them and cap
tured the company. Colonel Gloyer's
soldiers were equipped with fuse
guns, an army musket superseded
throughout the army by more modern
weapons long before the war closed.
The Confederate troopers took the
guns, but finding they had no ammuni-
ton for the old-style weapons, left
them on the farm OF Mr.. Short
The possession OF so formidable a
display of arms at that period. when
even squirrel rife WAS on the pro
hibited list. very much alarmed MIR.
Short and his family, end that night a
trench was dug. the guns piled in and
covered over. There the weapons have
rested until one day last week, when
w. D. Short by accident found the
resting place OF the old firelocks ana
brought them TO light
The stocks are all rotted off and the
iron barrels. rods and bayonets eaten
with rust. but they show plainly the
style OF the gun, and locks and bands
are all intact Since his find has be
come known Mr. Short has been he
sieKed by relic hunters for the old
guns and he has given them out to all
applicants AS souvenirs until all but
two or three Of the guns are gone
