The ROYAL Picture Dealer.


1.-THE royal picture dealer is making
preparations for another sale.' says
the Brussels correspondent of Berlin
paper The people of Belgium are
still muttering about the sale Of the old
masters by King Leopold. but the roy
al merchant is not disturbed and shows
his disregard by sending collection Of
$50 modern works on its first stage to
the auctioneer's block. The pictures
were taken from the royal residence
to the museum. where they may be
seen BY those who pay for the priyi-
lege for three months, and then TO the
auctioneer Leopold will also sell all
the castle furniture. and liberal Ameri-
can purchasers will receive as gratui-
ties letters Of Louis Philippe which
will guarantee the genuineness of the
various pieces"

TO End Cattle Fever.

A wretched little blood sucking tick
only about an eighth Of an inch long, Is
costing this country s4O,O0o,O0o a year
What Is to be done about itf
That nothing, or at all events very
little, should be done las Is the case at
presently is quite absurd, inasmuch as
the insect which causes all this mis-
chief might be entirely exterminated BY
the adoption Of few simple measures.
Why not save the S40,000000 a year
The answer is that the Federal govern
ment is doing its best, and that all that
is needed to bring about this happy
result is the earnest cooperation of the
state in the infested belt. The way out
Of the trouble is shown by a recent
scientific discovery IN regard to the tick
IN question.
The tick is disaereeable bug. II
IL did nothing worse than suck the blood
Of cattle, that would be bad enough.
But incidentally to the suckinig
process, II introduces into the blood

feeds npon the red blood cells, destroy
ing them, and thus producing the NAL.
ady known as "tick fever" or "cattle
fever"
Not only does the tick carry seat
tie fever but it is the only agent where.
by the maladv is spread If there we're
no tick Of this particular species, the
disease would not exist. The pros
pect Of stamping out the plague lies IN
the knowledge which has been gained in
rcgara TO the life history Of the insect
To get rid Of the cattle fever Il is
