GETTING Rid of Bot FLEA.

The United States department Of ag.
riculture has thoroughly tested 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 evenings a
purgative was given. Next morning
the horse was given three drains Of
! carboh bisulphide in a gelatin capsule
three times at intervals of an hour.
When the capsule reached the horses
| stomach it dissolved. and the carbon
bisulphide, liquid that is extremely
volatile at the temperature of horses
body, evaporated rapidly The gas suf-
focated 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

Power of the Opium Habit.

In the American Magazine a former
newspaper man, who became d victim
of the opium habit and is now a con-
vict in a penitentiary, writes dramat-
ic account of his experiences with the
drug. He gives as follows his idea OF
the power of the habit:
~ do not believe that any man with
an opium or morphine habit of years
standing can deny himself the drug II
1t is within reach.
Il do not believe that any man. no
matter what his previous character
may have been. can use opium contin-
uously and not have the impulse to be
crooked. He may not be crooked, he
may lack the nerve or the necessity to
steal, but the impulse will be there
and if it ever becomes a question OF
| theft or q habit he will thieve. This
is the history of every opium smoker
have ever known"

The Invention of the Panorama.

The panorama was invented by a
Scotchman named Robert Barker. who
obtained license in London In 1877
and erected a rotunda on Leicester
square. He was associated with Rob
ert Fulton. the practical inventor or
the steamboat. who introduced pano-
ramas into Paris in 1916. but resigned
in favor of Thayer perhaps in order to
give his attention to the application OF
steam to boats. Thayer raised a ro-
tunda on the Boulevard Montmartre.
whence comes the name of the Pas
sage des Panoramas. Bonaparte caused
plans to be drawn up for eight pano-
ramas. in which his conquests were to
be shown to the Parisians. whom he
always tried to impress with the mag
nitude of the achievements in order tc
keep them faithful to his star. Bu
these projects were never realized.

They did not hold their courts of jus.

on the top of hill in the open air,
where they heard all complaints that
were brought before them and decided
every cause according to their own
ideas of right and wrong.
The hill Of Tara is also famous In
Irish history as the spot on which the
kings were crowned. The throne. or
seat Of inauguration. was black
