The Horn Fly (Beematobia
Serrata).
During the short time that this fly has
been recognized in America, it has certainly
proved itself to be a source of annoyance to
the bovine tribe. It. infliction doss not
stop at biting the animal, but by the con -
stint rubbing of the horns against the sides,
in the efforts made bytthe poor beast to rid
itself of the annoyanee, large Berea are
formed, which prove very irritating and
painful, mid which might also result disas-
trously, by allowing the admission of germs
into the system.
Attention was field drawn to this parasite
in 1887, in the state of New Jersey, whither
it appears to have been introduced from
France,. Its general appearance resembles
that of the common house fly, except that it
s much smaller, and when at rest its wings
are quite horizontal and widespread. It
belongs to the natural order diptera. Its
eggs are deposited upon the fresh excre-
ment of animals, especially cattle.
These eggs soon hatch and the young
large mature in a few days, whence they
enter the ground for the pupa atade. The
imago, or perfect insect, emerges in a few
days, and at once begins its work of tor-
ment and reproduction. It has been noticed
that the fly reaches maturity in from ten to
twelve days after the eggs are deixdited,
thus making it possible to have as many as
three broods per month.
When the insect occurs in great numbers,
as is the case in July and August, myriads
congregate upon the bane of the horn, com-
pletely covering, it. When feeding they
present a very- eager appearance. With
wings slightly elevated, they push their way
under the hair until they come in contact
with the skin,into which they insert their
proboscis, giving rise to much pain, irrita-
tion and annoyance. Their favorite feeding
ground is the shoulders and back. During
rain, and when its prey is lying down, the
pest then seeks the underside of the abdo-
men, inside the flanks and thighs, and the
region of the udder, and there satisfies its
voracious appetite.
Since attention was drawn to thia insect,
several experiments have been set on foot in
order to secure some economical method of
overcoming its ravages. The following are
some of the substances which were Selected
as moat l'kely to prove beneficial:
1. A fie -per -cent. solution of .eucalyptus
oil.
2. A solution of aludgite, using one pound
to eight gallons of water. Sludgite is an in-
eectieide prepared by the Columbia Chem-
istal Company, of Brooklyn New York.
3. A solution of glubo, tieing one part to
five parts of water. (Glubo is the refuse of
soap factories.)
4. Kerosene emulsion. This is prepared
by adding one-half pound of soap to a gallon
of boiling water. After it is _thoroughly
dissolved and mixed) add two gallons of
kerosene. Take a large spray syringe, and
pump the solution for four or five minutes,
when a thorough emulsion is made- When
wanted for use, diluteithe amount taken to
twelve times its volume. Apply with spray
pump, or a large cloth or sponge.
5. Black oil emulsion, prepared the same
as No. 4, using black oil instead of kero-
sene.
6. Fish oil emulsion, using fish oil instead
of kerosene.
7. Pure fish oil. •
8. Kerosene emulsion, using glubo nstead
of £109p.
After repeated trials, the following con-
clusions were arrived at:
1. First and best, fish oil and fish oil
emulsion, the emulsion Acting equally as
well as the pure oil. It is less expensive,
and may be applied with a sprayer.
2. Kerosene emulsion and kerosene and
glubo emulsion.
3 And of,no value, eucalyptus oil, emul-
sion of black oil,sladgite solution, and glubo
solution. -

-There is no doubt of Lord Wolseley's
personal' wish to come to Canada, and -it is
said that he himself suggested his oWn
pointment to the governor -generalship, but
the precedent of selecting a soldier tor such
a high civil appointMenti needs the 'careful
consideration of the colonial office. .
-Robert Whyte has sold his fifty acro
farm, at Crnmarty, to Joseph Spear°, the
price paid being $2,500.
-Mr. M. Reagan, of Ellice, while walking
through his field, the other morning, oh-
aerved that something had happened to his
-calves. Drawing closer to where they lay,
he found that eight of them were dead. It
is, not known yet what has happened
them, unless they were poisoned.
--The strike in South Wales paralyses
naval and maratime England in a way that
would be alarming should a strike happen
in time of war. The usual naval manoeuvres

Yet such ie the state of the law that the -

requests its intervention. Neither party
requests, so the dispute must go on, like

of money. The employers, of course, have
a bottomless purse.
-An intereating event, whioh was at-
tended by a large number of friends and
relatives, took place at the residence of Mr.

The Enghshman Again: •
An Englishman once visited California,
and he remarked upon the abundance of
fruit in that state. He said he was sure the
Californians could not eat it all, and he
wanted to know what was done with the
surplus fruit. His remark was answered by
a Californian, who said:
"We eat what we can, and we can what
we can't."
The Englishman, after awhile, saw the
joke, and laughed heartily over it. A short
time afterward he returned to England.
One evening he went to a dinner party, and
he determined to relate the story. He told
the preliminaries, and when he came to the
Californian's answer, be repeated it in the
following worda "We eat what we can,
and we tin what we can't, and then he won-
dered why nobody else laughed.

What Makes a Gentleman.
THE YOUNG MAN SHOULD BE GUIDED BY
HIS OWN BEST INSTINCTS.
"Common-sense *rules in dress and man-
ners, the same as in any phase of our lives,
and this our young men should learn and
understand," writes Edward Bok of "What
makes a gentleman,' in the Jult Ladies'
Home Journal. "A man's manners are not
exterior; they emanate from within, from
himself. Experience and observation are
the only teachers he can seek and use. Eti-
quette books are useless to him. A young
man's progress and favor in the eyes of
others does not depend upon his being
ostentatiously correct' in manner, move-
ment and speech. His strongest and most
lasting hold upon the respect and confidence
of people comes from something deeper.
He must not be boorish, nor slovenly, nor
heedless of the feelings of others. It is his
duty to carry himself well, according to his
best instincts, and not by rule as laid down
in etiquette books. So with o young man's
dress. At twenty we do riot expect our
young men to devote so mueh time to their
clothes that they shall be *reedy dressed
upon every Occasion. Such melees know-
ledge is at that time of life, aequired at the
expense of far more important matter. The
taste for good dressing, and its knowledge,
so far as it is necessary, comes to 4.11 of us
as we progress. The right sort of a young
man dresses in the neatest -and best manner
he can, and as well as his income permits.
That is always good dressing.. To overdress
one's station in the world is always poor
taste, and invariably makes a bad impres-
sion. I never yet saw a young man who
either hired or borrowed an evening snit for
a special occasion who did not loudly pro -

At ,Abbotsford.
The library at Abbotsford is a noble room.
The number of books amounts to many
thousands. While a mere boy Scott began
to collect books, and he has in one of the
divisions this note in his handwriting ;-
"This little collection of stall tracts and
ballads was formed by me when a boy from
the baskets of the travelling pedlars.' This
was written in 1810, and it is interesting to
note that towards the close of his life Scott
began a descriptive catalogue of his literary
aud antiquary curiosities entitled " Reliq &at
Trotea.siame, or the Gabions of the late
Jonathan Oldbuck, Esq." But this work,
unfortunately, was never finished.

Schoolmasters and Discipline.
A solicitor applied to a London magistrate
for a summons against the headmaster of a
public school for an alleged assautt upon one
of his pupils. The parents took the boy for
a day's holiday, and the following day gave
him a note asking the Master to excuse hie
absence. The communication was ignored,
and the boy was thrashed for being abeent,
but the punishment, it was admitted, was
not unduly severe. The magistrate, in de-
clining to grant the summons, eaid the
discipline of the public schools must be
upheld.

"COIlle and hear your old pal, the Rev.

Other cards would contain an exhorta-

This original vicar would go into public
houses during the dinner hour and, ad-
dressing the company, would say:
"Well, gentlemen, you have given Iny
friend the landlord a good turn. Now
finish up at my little place on the other
aide of the road."
Special services were held-ohe week for
pigeon fliers, another week for sweeps and
a third for sandwieh men.
Mr. Whish's successor was as devoted
and faithful a vicar as his predecessor, but
lacked Mr. Whish's humor and discretion.
He gave so harrowing a description of the
denizens of the courts and alleys of the
parish to a local journalist that those
whom he freely described as hawkers and
rogues resented his deseription of them by
breaking his windows. -L -London Mail.
Senator Cass Could *Imost Annihilate a
Man With a Look.
Giant heads, bodies, and brains were
Webster and Cass. All the strength of
New Hainpshire granite was concentrated
In those two sons. To look upon them
made the ordinary man feel small. Won-
derful eyes they possessed, and men have
been known to shiver with dread when
one or the other allowed his glance to fall
upon therm Cass could look through
stranger in a way to make his brain burn
and his knees knock together. One search-
ing stare seemed to destroy all mentality
and fill the victim with paralytic emotions.
No man dared take liberties with Cass.
In 1846 the proprietor of the National ho-
tel in Washington was , a man who so
closely resembled the great senator from
Michigan that he was often mistaken for
him. An old friend, returning from a
journey, entered the lobby, and, seeing
him leaning against the desk, slipped up
behind and hit him a terrific whack on the ,
shoulder, saying cheerily and simultane-
ously: "Hello, old man! Here I am back
again. How are you?" Senator Cass
straightened up his six feet three, and,
turning upon the assailant his terrible
bloodshot eyes, almost annihilathd hbn
with a Ibook. Not a word was spoken.
That look was ample. The stranger was
so "rattled" that he could not even apolo-
gize, but slunk dejectedly out of the hoteL
Later in the day, when congress was
supposed to be in session the stranger re-
turned to the hotel to flake- hands with
the proprietor and tell him all about the
Cass incident Walking bravely up, he
laid his hand down on his friend's shoul-
der, and, without waiting for a greeting,
surprised him with: "See here, old fellow,
you got me Iii a deuoe of a scrape this
morning. Why, you know I took old Cass
for you; slapPed him on the back, nearly
taking off a shoulder, and the old fool
looked at nie as if he wanted to commit
'murder. The darned old lunatic -why
doesn't he stay out of here? He knows" -
Again the great senator from Michigan
straightened up his six feet three, again
he turned his bloodshot eyes, again he
looked and again the victim fled. Two
mistakes of that kind in one day. -New

QUEER CHURCH SERVICES.
Sensational Devfices Adopted_to Draw Peo-

Not long ago the papers. contained ac-
counts of a -scrubbing FerTice in St.

up the church.
'1-lat church has bacl a efirions history

OO the parish, which is the most poverty
stricken in all Birmingham, was controlled

the services languishing from lack of wor-
shipers, hit upon all sorts of queer expo --

He announced the most flaming series

Educating a Greyhound.
The right way to bring a greyhounde
to condition is to walk him steadily every
day front 12 to 16 miles. He must not be
allowed to potter along in the road in his
own sweet way, but should be led by the
trainer. The reason is that continual ex-
ercise is thus given, and this without tir-
ing the dog. When he comes in from his
waik, the greyhound 1. buahed and
groomed. When the greyhound is at exer-
cise he wears a thick "sheet." This is
exchanged for one of thinner medley when
he is at home.
The walking exercise alone is not suffi-
cient, however. Every other day the grey-
hound is galloped, and this is done in the
following manner: A kennel- man holds
the dogs. The trainer walks awayor
nearly half a mile. At a given signal the
kennel man releases one of the dogs, rho
naturally gallops toward the tra1ier.
When the dog has got away abou 20
yards, another dog is released, and s the
process goes on until all the dogs are li-
ning toward the trainer at a distan of
about 20 yards from each other. 11 the
dogs were allowed to run together, tiey
would either play or fight with each othier,
and the leading dog must be a very g
one at galloping, or the gallop will

more severe than is that of the preparatory

Chickamauga.
The word Chickamauga, lik a great
many other proper names of places in this
country, is of Indian origin! It is said to
be a Cherokee name, signifying the river
of death," and, according to a legend
which has floated down among th4 Indians,
the stream received its name frou the ac
Mental drowning of the people of a vil-
lage by a sudden rise attributed aoloud-
burst.
Chickahominy is another llama, of shn-
ilar character, the Indian word s gnifying
"turkey lick," or a place wher4turkeys
are wont to assemble. Chicopee, the name
of a town in Massachusetts, signifies "the
place of birch bark," and Chickago, or
Choecago, which we have corrupted into
- Chicago, is variously translated, as the
"playful eters" or the "destitute place.",
It has also been interpreted as the place
of the wild le-ek," or polecat lent, and
which of the three translations is correct
must be left for the antiquarian to settle
among themselves. -St. Louis G obe-Dem-

ANECDOTE OF A FLOWER.
A Rusidan Nobleman Clave the Century
Plant Its Name.
About two centuries ago ad:Weston no
bleman traveling in -Mexico 'saw and ad-
mired the maguey plant, which is a native
of Medico.
The planteveas so much adniired by the
Russian for its beauty and utility, that he
was eager to have growing specimens in
his own country. So when leaving Mexico.
he procured some mots .no take home to
the czar as a present,. ;
On lids first visit to court, after he reach-
ed theicapital city, he told of the wonder-
ful plant and asked permission of the czar
to preeent to him the specimens which he
had. The czar graciously granted his re-
quest and gave the roots to the court gar-
dener, who promised to give the plants his
best attention, but unfortunately before
he could plant theta properly as he intend-
ed, he was taken suddenly ill and died
without having accomplished Anything.
Another gardener was appointed. In
the meantime the roots lay in the sack in
which- they were first placed. The new
gardener, not knowing their value, threw
the sack away, and it lay unheeded in a
corner of the garden day after day. Some
time afterward his little daughter picked
up one of the roots and in a playful mood
planted it, but - paid no further attention
to it The czar had forgotten all about it.
in course of time the ruler died and also
the second gardener.
The plant in after years put out a few
spikes for leaves, but did not thrive in the
cold air of Russia. It grew very slowly'
and its origin was not known to any one
save the wife of the former gardener, and
the child that planted it.
Year passed, and still the strange plant,
with its thiekilong, straight leaves, now
nearly 6 feet toll, did not bloom, but as it
grew taller it attracted notice, and the
new czar sometimes looked at it and won-
dered if it would fever bloom.
In time he, too died, and still the ma-
guey bloomed not.
- But just after the coronation of another
azar a, stalk shot up from the root of the,
plant and tepidly grew to the height of -20
• feet. Soon many clusters of small buds
:appeared, which slowly unfolded and be-
came white blossoms. The wonderful
plant had laloonied anklet. •
The gardener said it wds 100. years old
and had bloomed in honor Of the new czar.
carped was sent to him, and he and his
whole court visited and achitired the flow-
ers and -the plant.
The poor exile from the sunny skies of
Mexico had earned its" reward and a new
name, for ever since that day it has been
krfown as "the century'plant."

A. Curious Cipher C de.
Prisoners confined in diffe nt parts of
jails often use cipher codes • communi-
cating with one another.
Generally when these oip er meesages
aro found by the officials t ey have not
much difficulty in translatin them. The
guards in the Kansas City all, however,
encountered some writing in cipher that
proved too hard for them, nd it was a
good while before the key ve acnidentally
discovered. A fellow nem Turner, in
for forgery, invented the puzzle. The
writing was pn long narro strips of pa-
per, on the edge of which w re letters and
parts of lettere that ap ntly had no
connection and from which o words could
be formed. •
One day a deputy who w passing the
cell of a prisoner saw him passing a long
strip of paper around an oc agon lead pen-
cil. He took the paper a ay, and on it
were the mysterious scrawl that had wor-
ried the keepers. But th deputy got an
idea from this, and, going back -to the
office, he wrapped the stri around an oc-
tagon shaped lead pencil alnd after several
trials adjusted it so that the parts of the
-letters fitted together and iinadea sentence,
though the writing was very fine. The
writer had adopted the siilipla but ingen-
ious plan of covering the encIl with paper
and,had then written alo g one of the flat
sides. On unrolling it th writing was as
