The New York Tribune tell

The New York Tribune tells
this story: Give me a castor
oil cocktail" said a man at the
drug store counter. The clerk
poured a bottle of sarsaparilla
into glass, dashed a few drops
of paregoric into it and then
poured in some castor oil. The
man drank it with a pleasant
face, and walked out as if he
had drank soda instead of castor
oil. eyes, we have quite a call
for castor oil cocktails" said the
clerk. '1f a mans system is out
of order and he needs a dose of
castor oil, the only way to take
it is in the cocktale form. You
wouldn't know there was a drop
of castor oil in it. If you've
ever taken castor oil then you
will recognize the virtue of the
cocktail" If you don't believe
the story, try a castor oil cock
tail once.

4 GOOD NOPE.

It appears that there is a Board of Control fin Connecticut that can do some things. This is the State Board of Control. It has decided that here after the officers of the State mustn't put useless matter in their reports. So it has recommended that much of the reading matter which has tended to in- crease the size of former reports be eliminated and only such matter be printed as shall appear to be right to the point. In this way it is hoped that a considerable saving can be made to the State in the cost of it's printing bills, which have become so large of late years as to call for a recommen- dation in this line by the last legisla- ture
 Of course a considerable saving can be made in this way, and it ought to be made. Many of the reports are so long and dreary that nobody except the proof-reader reads them, and he would mt if he didn't get paid for it. And oh for Board of Control that will abbreviate the messages of presidents, governors and mayors!

AN ELECTRIC SPANKER.

Awhile ago we suggested a public spanking of unruly new Yale boys, and our notion was that the spanking should be done by the members of the Faculty, the members of the city gov ernment, and as many other distin- guished citizens as might be needed to go around. Perhaps by the time that public spanking comes off it can be done in a way that will not require the services of the distinguished gentlemen aforesaid, and yet will be sufficiently spectacular. It appears that electricity can do spanking as well as many other things. Professor Dennis, of East Pennsylvania, a suburb of Peoria, H., has invented an electric spanking ma- chine. All that is necessary when Pro- lessor Dennis thinks an unruly pupil has reached that stage at which phy- sical reminder of his transgressions is appropriate is to place the offending pupil in the right attitude and then press button, which brings two or more paddles into action, The pad dles do the rest.
 Professor Dennis could get a first rate advertisement by inducing the Yale Faculty to order a public spanking when there is need of it, and invite him to give an exhibition of his electric spanker.

THE FRENCH ARMY.

There is much interesting talk in
 France in these days. For instance,
 General Canonge contends that, if well
 commanded, the French army, with
 numbers increased and with training unquestionably equal to modern de-
 mands, would fight with advantage
 against the German army. He does not know, he says, which side would
 be victorious, but there would be a
 hard struggle between two armies wor- thy of each others steel. While ad-
 mitting the high qualities of the Ger
 man infantry, he points out that, in- spired by the spirit of tradition, it still holds to the methods which secured it's success in 1870. There was a great deal 1 of talk in Germany about Boer tactics
 recommended by the emperor himself,
 but it has now been proved that the German infantry has returned to it's former system. A comparison of the tactics of the two armies in delivering an attack upon artillery shows, in the generals opinion, that in some respects
 the German infantry is inferior to the French, The French cavalry, he holds, is not inferior to the German, while the French artillery is unquestic1ably sG- perior. At the present moment Ger
 many, he says, only possesses a quick

SOME OBJECTIONS ITO CATS.

Every one interested in the progress of science will regret to learn that the famous experiment in the artificial rearing Of ruff1ed grouse, which has been so successfully carried on by Prof. Clifton F. Hodge of Clark Uni versity. has been set back for three years by the hand of criminal. Every one of pr. Hodges grouse has been poisoned. Arsenic, hidden in acorns, was the direct cause of death cats, seeking the lives of these world-fa- nous birds, were the indirect cauce.
 Three years ago the rearing of ruffled grouse by artificial means was said to be an imp0ssibility. On account of the rapid decrease of this vaIuabie game bird, attempts without number were made to propagate the species in cap tivity. All were unsuccessful until Dr. Hodge turned his attention to the matter, and by his simple but thought full efforts, brought a little flock of healthy, vigorous birds to maturity The news of his success was published far and wide and brought him congrAt- ulatiops from naturalists and, sports men all over the world.
 Last winter visited Prof. Hodge at his home in Worcester, Mass, and saw the grouse. They were housed in a pen in the garden, and had a good sized open-air "run.i made of wire net ting. They were in good condition. seemed contented, and some of them were so tame that they would reed from their masters hand and even al- low themselves to be fofldled. >
 The chief trouble Prof. Clark had had, was not in rearing the birds, but in protecting them form the cats which haunted the gareen. After two birds had been destroyed by having their heads and wings torn off through the mesheS of the netting, the scientist saw his whole experiment. threatened with failure, and courteous ly warned his neighbors that IT their cats continued their deprsdations, it would be necessary for him to take measures to protect his property. All the intelligent neighbors were in full sympathy with Dr. Hodge, and either got rid of their cats or did their best to keep them where they belonged A few paid no attention, and the pro lessor was obliged to set box traps near his grouse pen and catch the tres passing cats. All whose owners were known or could be found, were return ed with a request that they be kept at home: it seemed fair to presume that the others were "strays" and, as l such, they were chloroformed.
 During recent absence of Prof Hodge, the grouse were left in charge of certain students attending the Uni. versity, and these young men had great trouble in defending the birds from a particular cat which persisted in climbing all over the cage. This beast was driven away over and over
