"1 melte no assertions one way or
the other, although personally I en-
tertain a very strong suspicion that
a daughter of Eve soiled her fair lin-

pretty pie."
"Now what on earth ma -es you
think so? Do you imagine that any
woman, no matter how lowly lier po-
sition in life, would willingly expose
the sex of which she forms a part to
such sweeping abuse and ridicule? Tile
thing appears simply preposterous,
and, bad as we may be, and molly of
us are, we ,are not quite so bad as
all that. If any distinct object were
gained by such invective one might
posSibly understand it, but there is
none --can be none to my- mind."
"And in so fancying', Mrs. Forres-
ter," said Captain Fuller cooly, "you
for once fail to display your usual
perspicuity. Now I cart imagine a
very distinct and conceivable ob-
ject."
"Really! Well, I admit you puzzle
me altogether.. Go on."
"I must put the case more clearly.
Suppose, then, ,a certain lady to be
actuated by feelings of the acutest
jealousy; suppose that she had been
outshone by a younger and prettier
rival; suppose all her worst passions
were aroused, and a thirst for ven-
geance, at whatever cost, liad over-
taken her, can you not •conceive that
such a lady would not easily be de-
terred by conventionalities."
"Bet even then," objected Mrs.
Forrester, "She would hardly satir-
ize her own sex indiscriminately. She
would content herself with the abuse
of the one particular person."
"And by so doing show her cards

According to experiments carried

worried by flies and mosquitoes. We
have all seen cattle driven almost
frantic i11 some seasons of the year

it can be done so easi13r and with so

To keep them away simply spray
the cattle once or twice a day with
a solution of zenoleum, lysall or
