GETTING Rid of Bot Flies.

The United States department Of ag-
riculture has thoroughly tested a very
unusual cure for the disease of horses
called bots. Bots are the larvae of the
horse bot fly and live in the stom-
achs of horses. They interfere with
digestive processes to such an extent
as to cause loss of flesh, general poor
condition and often death. Dislodging
them is extremely difficult.
In the treatment tested the horse was
fed little hay and oats in the morn
ing and allowed to go without food
the rest of the day. In the evening Il
purgatiye was given. Next morning
the horse was given three drains Of
carbon bisulphide i'll Il gelatin capsule
three times at intervals of I'M hour.
When the capsule reached the horses
stomach it dissolved. and the carbon
bisuphide, liquid that is extremely
volatile at the temperature of a horses
body. evaporated rapidly. The gas suf-
located the bots and other parasites
in the horses stomach without injur-
ing the horse in the least. The remedy
was tried with complete success on a
large number of affected animals

Too Quiet a Fire.

hotel, and l got there before the fire
men. When they came at last, in
their tin pot hats, they got out half a
dozen big squirts and rushed into the
building with them. Then, when it
was out, they put the squirts back into
their little express wagon and drove
off. You never saw such child's play
not q line of hose run out, not an
engine putting, not a gong heard, not
a soul letting out a whoop. 1t was
more like a Sunday school picnic than
a fire. l guess if these people ever
clio have a civilized blaze it would
scare them to death. But they never
have any. Well. what can you ex-

Guarded Himself Pretty Well.

Not many people guard their health
so carefully as did Sir Tatton Sykes,
who in winter wore five or six coats
when out riding and shed some Of them
as he became warmer. Prince Potia-
kline, however, took even stronger pre-
cautions against illness. If there was a
touch Of cold in the air he had fires
lighted in his grounds before venturing
to stroll in them. His waistcOats were
made in two separate pieces, joined at
the sides by buttons, so that he could
take them off or put additional ones on
without removing his coat. If caught
in a shower he sheltered himself with
an umbrella nearly two feet wide.
which came down below his waist and
was pierced with little windows. In
very hot weather the prince wore boots
coated with tin as a protection against
mad dogs and carried sponges soaked
with vinegar in his shirt front to ward
off unpleasant smells.

A Mannisn LADY,,

An eccentric lady who was source
of great amusement to the then Prince
of Wales in those earlier years was
Lady Sophia Mcnamara, who is de-

She was the most Independent wo-

LincoIn,s Appearance.

Senator Dawes. describing Lincoi1's
appearance on the morning of his ar
rival in Washington, ten days before
his first Inauguration, wrote: Il never
saw a man so unkempt. His hair was
disheveled and his clothes were the
ones he had worn on the sleeper from
Springfield. He was long and angular.
It seemed as though his body was made
up of component parts of different
bodies-as though his head were not in
the right place. Rough and uncouth
he was a typical backwoodsman. But
there was something incomprehensible
in his face. something unfathomable."

beauty of the tale is that It's
