nburgh.-Edinburgh has slums
that look and smell the thing they are.
There is something not only forbid
ding. but almost threatening in the
canyOn-iiko streets of the poorer quar-
ter, with their huge grim tenements
built OF uHcompromising stone and
rising high above the sunless streets.
One meets on the Old North bridge.

high portions of the town, pale-faced
women hooded in their shawls, and
bearing in their faces the marks of
poverty, hard usage and vice. One

native vigor, and the commOufolk
show the discipline of the struggle
that they and their ancestors have
long waged with a thin soil, a diff
ficult topography and a climate some
what niggardly of sunlight and
warmth.
Edinburgh still deserves it's ancient
name of Aud Reekie, and between It's
boldly magnificent topography. its
self-generated smoke, its stormy
skies. and its frowning and monument
tai architecture. It has a sort Of
grandeur hard to match in other and
gayer cities. Holyrood is surely a.
plain enough royal residence. but
where in any other town is there so
nObly and almost insOlently dominant
a pile as Edinburgh castle. 1t gives
the final touch of something like
domesticity to that alOof and high
set mass Of gloomy architecture TO
see at night the CLEAN of lights

sudden holes of after-sunset bright
ness that appear in the stormy skies
Of Edinburgh on summer evenings.

nothing less majestic than Miltonic

1t has been said that Princes street
Of Edinburgh is the most impressive
In Europe, and II any such assertion
is to be accepted 1t owes its truth not
so much to the highway itself and it's
buildings and monuments as to the
amazing topography Of Edinburgh,
some Of whose noblest features lend a
sort Of awful dignity and splendor to
Princes street. The marvellous view
Of the castle and It's slopes would
alone give Princes street the highest
distinction, and the castle and it's
steep constitute only one Of several
noble eminences within view. The
broad gardens. too, are rich and love-
iy, and there are fine old historic
structures along the highway, while
the Scott Memorial really does not
look like a church engulfed by an
earthquake with its steeple still above
ground. AS a matter OF fact the
monument, with that amiable and
studious seated statue of Sir Walter
set within, is a dignified and beauti-
full thing, even though 1t has to vie
with the austere and awful steep
crowned with the vast and wandering
pile of Edinburgh castle.

HUBBlES MUST POUND. ROCK
New Pennsylvania Law Is Put Into
Operation for the First
Time.

hiladelphia.-When six deserving
husbands we're sentenced to three
months work breaking stone at the
house of correction by Judge Breezy
there was put into operation for the
first time in Pennsylvania a new law,
passed by the last legislature, which
the court declared would materially
reduce the cases Of wife desertion in
this state.
The law empowers the court to COM
NIT recalcitrant husbands to the house
of correction, there to be placed at
some profitable employment at hard
labor, and provides that SO cents a
day shall be deducted from their
earnings and paid to the wife. The
minimum sentence is three months,
but this may be extended to six
months II the husband shows no will
ingness otherwise to support his wife.
Heretofore the only punishment
within the power of the court in this
state was a Jail sentence. leaving the
mans wife and family to be taken
care of. in many instances, by char
ity.

GOOD DEMAND FOR

The sheep tick is one OF the worst
enemies that the sheep raiser has to
meet. The damage that it does is
accomplished slowly. silently and con
unuously. For this reason the dam
age may not be noticed or thought to
be OF much consequence. Neyerthe-
less. In the course of year. constant
~ Fostering its host by its blood
sucking habit, the sheep tick can eff
fect a large amount Of damage. which.
however, IS hard to estimate If it
should require but ten cents worth Of
grain more to raise and fatten ticky
lamb than one without ticks, the dam
age done in flock of 10000 is 81. 900.
This Is worth considering. The fact
Is that the damage is more than ten
cents per sheep when the effect on the
wool is added. Therefore, laying aside
our moral duty to allay the suffering
or the suffering brute, there is potent
financial reason for destroying the
sheep tick. For determining intelli-
gent methods of destroying the tick
tails of its life history.
The life history is divided into four
stages: the egg, the larva. the pupa,
and the image. or fully developed tick.
This is the stage that is common TO
everyone. The egg is not laid as in
the case with most flies. After ferti-
nzatlon it remains in the uterus of the
mother and develops into a larva,
which is laid in the wool of the sheep
This larva changes into the pupa stage
in about II hours after IL is laid.
When first laid it is covered with
a white chitinous membrane which
soon becomes brown and hard. For
convenience, | shall include in the
pupa stage, that portion of the larva
stage which is passed outside of the
tick and shall speak of the tick as
laying a pupa. Most people call the
pupa an egg.
From the standpoint OF the eradi-
cation of the tick the incubation De-
riod OF the pupa, |. e., the time elaps- |
Ing between the laying and the hatch |
Ing, Is the most important. None of |
the sheep dips will kill ali the pupae, |
hence more than one dipping is nee
essary. The last dipping snust occur
after all Of the pupae have matched.
It was found that pupae would
hatch in from 10 to 20 days % warm
weather. In cold weather the incuba-
ton period might be much longer,
sometimes SO days being required.
Thus the last dipping in summer must
be at least % days after the first in
order to kill all the ticks after they
have Matched. In autumn or spring
the last dipping should not occur
sooner than rs to % days after the
first.
The question of next importance is

two being sufficient These should be
/ placed about % to 2S DAYS apart in
such weather as occurs in September.
! II Is difficult to determine which is
/ the best dip TO use, some being better
in certain respects and poorer in 9TH
/ ers. The effect upon the wool and the
cost must also be taken into consider
alton. The first essential is that the
dip will kin the ticks and not injure
the sheep. Among the coal tar dips
there are several that may be men
toned as effective.
1t should be remarked that sheep
and lambs with short wool should be
left in the dip longer than those with
long wool, on account OF their drying
more quickly.
The best time TO dip is probably in
the autumn. The chief reason for ad-
vising dipping in the fall is that the
wool on the lambs and sheep will be
grown out so as to retain more dip.
This makes the killing OF the ticks
more certain. If they are carefully
dipped then the flock will be rid of
the ticks and no dipping will be need
ed thereafter. The result will be that
the next crop Of lambs will be free
from ticks from the first
The sheep tick once eradicated will
not return to the flock unless they
associate with other ticky sheep The
sheep tick will not live but a few days,
generally not over three or four, of
the sheep. In this respect 1t differs
from the true tick, which may be
picked up by the host in the brush.
The sheep ticks whole life is spent
on the sheep. The pupae will, how
ever, hatch even If they are kept of
the sheep during the whole incubation
period. 1t is therefore important to
keep the sheep after dipping away
from the shorn wool for at least n
month. Young ticks will be Matching
out in the shorn wool for three or
four weeks after shearing.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
the fact that the attendants should not
come In contact with the undipped
sheep and then associate with tho
dipped flock.
