Dogs Decide 1he Case of an Eloping Wife. A recent French judgment, says the Tunis correspondent of the London Morning Post, may be cited as ap il- lustration of Arab manners and Gal- lic astuteness. An Aral) was travel- ing through the interior with his wife; he was on donkeyl>ack and she was afoot, By came a rich Arab on horse- back and offered her a lift behind him. She accepted, end presently in ibe course of the journey, confided that she. 'was unhappily married. Her com- panion proposed a plan by which she might: elope with him, and she agreed to it readily. Accordingly, when they came to a branch road they increased their pace and, paid no heed to the protestations of, the husband, who was soon left be- hind. He succeeded in tracking them to the horsemen's village, only to Lind that precautions btud been taken again- st his arrival, for everybody asserted 1 bat t hey had [known the runaway pair for many years its man and wife, and that the real husband must be an imposter. The unfortunate mall had recourse 10 the French, who were at firstpuzzled how to act in the face of a village's testimony. At. last, a thought occurred to the judge. He placed live real husband's dogs in one ream, those of the other man in another, and confronted the woman wit h both. Arab dogs are very faithful to their own households and very fierce toward all strangers; so, thought .she did her atmgst, to irritate her own dogs, I hey could not be re - :strained from fawning on her, and t hough she lavished every blandish- ment toward the dogs of her new home they banked and harked and showed their teeth with ever increas- ingi fury. The ,judge 1 hereupon order- ed her to he given hack to her husband, and he placarded the village with the following notice:— "The testimony of one dog 'is here more to be believed than that of ten Arabs." As, "dog" is one of the Arabs' worst terms of opprobrium, this notice was deemed a weirs() punishment. than fines or Imprisonment. A SLIGHT JTlS11NT)1?115'I'ANtIN(1, Air.

The reported success of the Gentil mission, which left France in 1895 for the exploration of those parts of central North Africa lying to, the south and east of Lake Tchad and eastward of that water on either side of the tenth parallel of latitude, raises a very delicate question of international right in territories about which diplomatio (agreements have been concluded, but of which there has been no occupation or even effective exploration. 'rhe country which has been the field of the researelles of the Gentil Mis- sion on behalf of the French Govern- ment, was, in 1893, the subject of an agreement between England and Ger- many. England abandoned to Ger- many "all the political rights it was able to exercise eastward of a line starting from Rio del Rey, in the Gulf of Guinea, and ending at the southern shore of Lake Tchad, skirting the town of Yola on the southeast." Ger- many, however, has not, it appears, chosen to exercise her rights over the territory, which, acco)'ding to this convention, would have carried her suzerainty right up to the Nile basin, On the contrary, she made a conven- tion with France, which was conclud- ed .and signed at Berlin in 1894. by which Germany reserved to herself only Adamana and a triangle of ter- ritory bounded by the British Niger possessions on the west, the Shari River, on the east, and the tents' par- allel of latitude nn the south. All to the east and south of that were giv- en up to the French sphere of influ- ence. The question now arises whether England is bound to recognize the abandonment of rights abe ceded to Germany without, so far as is known, ulterior conditions. Assuming that she does so, the next question that pre- st•nts itself is where are the eastern limits of the territory relinquished by Germany 2 ,liy a convention made in 1890 between England and Germany, the latter recognized the political rights of the former in the basin of the, Upper Nile; so that for whatever it is worth,England should have the sup- port of Germany in the event of any dispute with France over the terri- torial limits of the re.:ognized political rights. The feet, however, that the British Government, while always pro- testing against the extension of French occupation and exploration toward the Nile from the westward, has refused, although invited by successive French Foreign Ministers, to lay down the limit of British political rights in the Nile valley, somewhat complicates the situation. It will not be made clear- er if it is true, as reported fr'ony Par- rs, that one of the. Abyssinian gener- als, Ras Mltkonnen, accompanied by the French explorers, the Marquis de Bon Champs, and party, and with a body of troops, has arrived on the Nile and planted the Abyssinian banner on its eastern bank. The movements going on from both sides of the Nile toward that river would seem to render the British ad- vance to Khartoum imperative at an early perioett as soon •as the naviga- tion permits. Whether the settlement of the new difficulty in centralNorth Africa will be arrived at in the same way as that on the Niger, the activi- ty of England and b'ranoe, in their col- onizing and exploring in tbose hit her - to imperfectly known regions, will soon deprive Africa of its title of the Dark Continent, except in as far as the term applies to the color of its' native inhabitants.

CATTLE BLOATING ON REI) CLOVER As most farmers know, cattle are lia- ble to bloat, if allowed, or compelled, to feed exclusively or even largely on rank -,growing, fresh red clover, eith- er, fust or second erop, writes C. P. Goodrich. Farmers frequently suffer serious losses by cattle dying from this cause. This trouble can be prevented if proper means are taken. 1 have had lw cases of elover bloat for more than twenty years, although for most of that time my cows have been pastured each summer on clover. Many years ago, before l learned bow to prevent it. I ha.d frequent cases of bloat. The plan I adopted was this: "In the morning before my cows were turned out, for the first time in the spring on the clover which had attained a rank growth, they were given their regular feed of dry fodder and grain. Then when they were turned out, they had their stomachs full and were not hun- gry. They ate a little clover, then roamed around the field for a while and laid down. In the afternoon they got up, ate some more clover and were taken to the stable' toward night and given some nice hay which, to my as- tonishment, they ate greedily. They did not bloat. Ever since then L have always had some good bay in the man- gers when my yews are put in to he milked twice a day, and they always eat some. 1f the pasture is rank clov- er, then They always eat the hay very greedily, nature seeming to prompt theta to eat that which w ill prevent, bloating. With cattle, other than cows, that are left in the pasture all the time I have found that a stack of good hay in the pasture where they can have free access to it, will prevent bloat. A pen of rails should be put around the stack so as to prevent t he cattle trampling over and wasting it. 1 re- member of a friend 01 mine turning SOme sixty head of cal tit' into a field of rank clover for the first tinge, about the filet of June. His neighbors pro- phesied that. h8 would suffer great loss from bloat. But the owner knew what, he was about. Ile had two or three stacks of good clover hay in the field. It was noticed every day that, after the cattle had pastured on the clover for an hour or so they would all make a rursh for the stacks and would eat hay for n few minutes as ravenously as -though half starved. .There was no bleat. in that herd. In all my experi- ence I have never known of cattle to bloat from patina, green clover where they could have good. palatable rtry feed at the same time. Where there is nothing better 1 have seer) cattle leave the rank clover and eat frequently from an old straw stack which happen- ed to he in the: pasture, and act. as Ih)u;h they had found something de- licious. 1 firmly believe that a straw stack has saved tunny an animal from clover -bloat, though to make them safe it is better to provide good hay. Al- though prevention is much better than a cure, yet if through mismanagement carelessness, accident of ignorance, cat- tle do suffer from clever bloat, it is well to know how to best treat theist. There are a number of different reme- dies, recommended, but in urgent cases they must lie tapped or death will soon follow. The proper instrument for this is 8 trocar which is a sharp, pointed instrument having a sheath. By cut- ting, with a knife, a hole through the skin, the trocar can he pushed in, and when drawn out. the sheath is left in, out through which the gas escapes. As a regular trocar is not always at band, and such a ease will not, admit of delay, a substitute can be quickly made with a goose quill for a sheath' and a plunger made of hard wood well sharpened. To u;te such a' one it is ne- cessary to' cut. a holo through with a knife. 'Phe place to tap an animal is on the left side at a point.'" equally distant; from the last rib, the hip hone and the transverse peeresses of the lumber vertehrea." r will give some remedies for hloat which are said by good authorities to he good, though 1 have never tried any of them and can- not speak from experience. Give tur- pentine in rinses of one to five tahle- snoonfult, ac"ord1ng to size of animal. Here is another: "Make a hit of ast.ick two inehes through, put it in the mouth and 1101(1 it there by a rope passing over the head like n bridle. It is said the animal will hold its bad np, the mouth of course open, and keep work- ing the tongue in an endeavor to get the bit out and in this way the gas escapes. ft is also said that n dose of soda, is good. But one great trouble with all these remedies is that the bleating is nos', always discovered un- til too late and the animals die, there- fore, 1 strongly urge all farmers to ad- opt the i'reventive measures i have re- commended rend be safe from bloat. /SOME DAiRY QI'ESTEONS ANS- WERED.

There seems to be abundant testi- mony from experienced bee keepers that a deep and wide entrance to the hive is better for large colonies than a smaller entrance. It gives room for the bees to puss in and out more rap- idly, and it gives more ventilation. (lees often quit work and loaf around hanging on the [Tont of the hive a$ if about to swarm, when the hives are so warm and so illy ventilated that they cannot exist. and be comfortable inside. We do not blame them for strik- ing work under such conditions. They usually oecur with the largest colon- ies, and those with fraines well filled, I as the greater the number the greater the heat inside, and the greater the necessity for ventilation. tf the coi- 1 ony is small and weak, the entrance could be narrowed up, which may help ' as a safeguard against robbing. But we usually think that a colony se weak that others rob iL is not worth trying to save. A wide alighting hoard in front of the hive is an advantage, as ' it prevents: the bees from the necessity of alighting on the earth, or falling from the narrow board et the earth' and soiling the combs with muddy or dusty feet. If this were provided for, there would be less said about "trav- el -stained" comes, for there would not. 1)8 se much strain upon the comb if the hoes bad toot hi ng to carry in ex- cepting what they had gathered from the flowers.

Louie \Vilzer, a distinguished anthrop- ologist, comes forward and pia inisthat it must have been sit uated very near the North Pole.

Why So *luny British Officers Are Killed lel Action, Capt. Norton, M.Y., is to ask a ques- tion in the House respecting the largo proportion of British officers serving with native regiments who were kill- ed or wounded during the recent cam- paigns on the Indian frontier, says the London Mail. Capt. Norton holds that the chief cause for these 181nen1ah1e casualties which, owing to the unufficered con- dition of the native regiments, might have become a serious Menace to the efficiency of the Indian army, is the fact that (British officers wear a dif- ferent head .tress fr.lul that of the na- tive officers and troops under 1 hem ; end are so rendered especially distin- guishable by the, enemy's marksmen. This danger in modern warfare has long been recognized in Europe, and in the home army the adoption of the universal pattern field service corp for all ranks has been satisfaoturily shown My reduce to u minimum the distinc- tion which formerly existed between of- ficers and men. With British regiments in India the white pith or khaki helmet nets in a similar way ; but in native regiments, where all but the English officers wear an Eastern headdress, the tvhit.0 helmet is a fatal distinction. Capt. Norton holds that the chief Se('retary of War to make the dress of all ranks when on active duty as uniform as possible; but it is difficult to see how this ran be done, as far as headgear is coneerned. With !be sub- ject races of which our Indian army is composed the wearing of a partic- ular kind of headdress is an integral pari: of their religion, while the pro- posal to make British officers adopt the turban umuld he equally unpopu- lar. Caps. Norton's question, therefore, seems calculated to bring the *Indian army ant hoo'ities to en impasse ; but dcntbllees, if they appeal to Pall Mall the strong force of experts which bas been applying tt limiters amount of brain power to the invent ion of a ser- ies of More or less obnoxious" improve- ments:" in military headgear during along period of years, will be able to help them out of Capt.
