4 Good Spray Mixture,

Paris green does not dissolve, but is

water must be constantly agitated TO
apply it. The Ohio Experiment Station

which is soluble in water. 1t is made
by dissolving two pounds of commercial

BONAPARTE AT JAFFA.
His Orders Regarding the Plague Strick
en- Soldiers.

Prof. Forgue of Montpelier in a recent
lecture on the respect that practitioners
should have for human life told the story
of Desgenettes, which, though well
known, is worth telling again as it Is
told by Desgenettes himself.
When the French were about to
evacuate Jaffa the question arose what
was to be done with the plague stricken
soldiers in the hospital. Desgenettcs
says: shortly before the raising of the
siege-that is to say, on the 2Ith-Gen.
Bonapartc sent for me very early in the
morning to his tent, where he was alone
with his chief of the staff. After short
preamble as to our sanitary condition, he
said TO me, If | We're you | should end
at once the sufferings of those stricken
with plague and should end the dangers
which they threaten us by giving them
opium.
Il answered simply, My duty is to
preserve life Then the general de-
veloped his idea with the greatness cool
ness, saying that he was dvising for
others what in like circumstances he
would ask for himself.
He pointed out to me that he was,
before any one else, charged with the
conservation of the army, and conSe
quently it was his duty to prevent our
abandoned sick from falling alive under
the scimiters of the Turks. i do not
seek he went on, to overcome your
repugnance, but l believe / shall find
some who will better appreciate my in
tentions.' Desgenettes goes on Ia say
that opium was. as a matter of fact, Civ
Ell to some thirty patients.
1t happened, however, that certain
number rejected il by vomiting. We're re-
lieved, got well and told what had hap
pened The story has been told in vari-
Gus ways, and the fact Of the poisoning
of the sick soldiers has been accepted 10y
the enemies of Napoleon and denied by
the defenders of his memory. Desgen-
cites narrative bears the stamp Of
truth.-BritiSh Medical Journal.

Prev Rust on Tin.

An authority ON household matters
says that if new tinware be rubbed
over with fresh lard and thoroughly
heated in the oven before it is used it
will never rust afterward, no matter
how much II is put in water For
stained tinware boraX produces the
best results. If teapot or coffecpot
is discolored on the inside, boil it in a
strong solution Of borax for a short
time, and all Its brightness will return.

Lake Cities HealthfuI.

Statistics compiled by the statstieian
Of the Chicago health department show
that cities on the great lakes are more
healthful than those on the sea coast or
on river banks. The five chief cities To-
Gated or the great lakes, four on the
sea cost and six on rivers are used in
the illustration. The figures in the
health departments table show that the
FIVE lake cities had a death rate from all
causes of 1862 per 1000, the coast cities
rate of 1870 and the river cities a rate
Of 1889
The lake cities used for the illustra-
ton were Chicago, Cleveland. Buffalo.
Detroit and Milwaukee. Those on the
coast were New York, Boston. Baltimore
were Philadelphia, st. Louis. Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Washing

Grape Vine Fertiltztng.

Grapevines usually need very little
manure other than mineral, and that
chiefly potash. In European countries
it is the habit Of vineyardists to burn
the prunings each year and apply the
ashes. No other fertilizer Is used. In
fact, stable manures are objected to, as
they make the vines grow rank, and the
fruit will Lack the flavor that belongs
to fruits whose vines are only MANFRED
with the ashes. Much of the excellence
Of French wines is possibly due to this
sparing use of manure.

Eggs without Shells.

Russian exporters, to avoid an excess
i've freight on eggs. as well as TO avoid
loss from breakage and from spelling
by heat, ship them without the shell
!. e., broken and the contents put up in
alright block tin boxes, with or with
out salt, according to the taste Of the
customer.
Each box contains several eggs and
is sold by weight, the size running from
half kilogram up to a pud (some 10
kllograms). The price of the latter IS
5 rubles For use I'm cooking and for
limited time these timed or preserved
eggs seem to answer very well; that Is,
on the continent, for England doesn't
take kindly to them. London, for in
stance, says the National Druggist,
which buys large quantities of Russian
eggs, pays s rubles a pud for them
against 3 for the preserved eggs, be-
sides the weight Of the shells and the
extra freight tariff on eggs.
Each block tin box of conserved"
eggs, whether of half kilO Ga kilo is
little more than two pounds) or 2-pud
size, must bear the date and hour of
its closing, thus guarding against get
ting stale eggs The amount of eggs
put up in boxes and annually exported
is enormous and constantly growing.

shoes and Spectncles for Animals.


In Bohemia when geese are to be
driven long distances to market they
are shod for the journey. The method
of shoeing is as simple as it is effective.
The geese are made to walk repeatedly
over patches of tar mixed with sand.
This forms a hard crust on their feet,
which enables them to walk long dis
tances without becoming footsore.
Even more useful than shoes for
geese are the spectacles worn by the
COWS that feed on the Russian steppes,
Il region where the snow lies for six
months of the year.
These cattle pick up living from
the tufts of grass that crop up above
the snow. The sun shines so daZzingly
upon the white surface that many of
the animals suffered formerly from
snow-blindness. 1t occurred to an in
genious and humane individual that
this situation might be remedied so he
at once experimental in the manufac-
ture Of smokecolored spectacles that
might be adjusted to cattle. The re-
suit was successful and the animals
were saved much suffering.
