about week, and is often associated
with ecchymoses. Immunity can be OBJ
tanned to the effects of these bites. Oil
of cltronella and alcohol applied to the
face and hands, carefully avoiding the
eyes, seem to give the best results
toward prevention of the pests.
The insects are SO isolated from in
habitation that they are not considered
infectious, nor have any cases occurred
that could be attributed to these bites.

English Dogs in Harness.

From the London nF"ilicle-
There are probably many people living
who can remember when the Juggling
propensity of the dog was utilized in
England. Working men had their dog
carts" in which they made Sunday
and holiday excursions. The dogs en-
ployed We're, as a rule. heavy halfbred
bull mastiffs with a touch of the lurcher

the journey by sparirg allowance of
bread soaked in beer.
The use OF dogs for draught work
was prohibited in London III 1885. but
remained legal in the provinces for an
other fifteen years. Sir Walter Gilbey in
his "Recollections Of Seventy Years
notes as Il feature of his boyhood at
shop Stortford the numbers of dog
carriages and carts on the Essex lanes
and high roads. 'All sorts and condi-
tions of men used dog carriages. from
small tradesmen to poorer people who
could not afford a pony. Dog draught
was abolished because certain people
agitated against it as cruel, but 1 think
that as rule the dogs were neither ILL

Motor Truck as Feeders"
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The Canadian Pacific's plan of utilizing
motor trucks to collect grain and other
farm produce for shipment by rail and
to return merchandise to the farmer
marks an interesting new departure in
railroad methods. Once the trolley car
was counted on to perform this function
and put the farm in touch with the
freight station. The almost negligible
growth of trolley freight traffic indi-
Gates how far that expectation has re-
manned unrealized.
Apparently. the future of motor We
hicles as feeders OF railroads is more
promising. To begin with. they are
more adapta bic to the conditionS-they
can run directly to the barn door and
serve regions remote from the trolley
line, where one exists at all. Such "A
form of supplementary transportation.
indeed will provide the farmer with ia
cilities for the collection and distribution
of freight similar to those enjoyed by
the city merchant. 1t should greatly ex-
pedite the movement of the crops.
Altogether. the idea. though not a
Yankee idea is good enough for the
consideration of American railroads.
What a pity some of the New Haven's
sauandered millions could not have been
devoted to the acquisition of feeders
of this kind, which really feed
