The Mosquito Plant.

In northern Nigeria there is tree,
called in scientific language Ocimum
viride, which mosquitoes cannot toler-
ate. Two or three plants kept in every
room and placed along the veranda are
enough to shut out trespassing insects.
A mosquito gently inclosed in leaf
of the plant will lose consciousness in
few seconds. The bruised leaf has a
scent not unlike that Of wild thyme
and eucalyptus. The natives of north
ern Nigeria prefer an infusion Of its
leaves to quinine in malarial fever both
for themselves and their children.

came when the eggs hatched.

The first thing that sprang out Of an
egg was funny little duck. He look

next years acreage: 1t is much easier now to in
duce the farmers to hold the cotton they have al
ready made for higher price than it will be to in
duce reduction in acreage, or even to prevent an
increase, next spring, if there is prospect of II
cents for next crop, While holding back cotton has
had its share in influencing the Market don't forget
that the shortness Of the crop is the predominating
factor If we would have IL cents cotton we must

Chicago Commercial: Mr.. Tillman exactly voiced
public sentiment when he said the United States
Senate must clear its character. He told the truth
when he asserted that the charge had been laid
at the door of the Senate that it is controlled by
corporations, and that some of it's members repre-
sented interests nmical to the public interests -
He was right in arguing that the Senate must dis
prove this charge or purge itself of the Mitchels
and Burtons and Depews still hid under cover.
