It will clear cattle of lice, free sheep of scab, and drive off ticks and will correct impaired digestion when aniâ€" mals are being fed heavily on a fat- toning ration. It is simply surprisâ€" lng how quickly ticks on sheep will disappear if a tablespoonful of this mixture is fed to them daily for a few days. They will not only dis- appear from the animals, but will also leave their sleeping quarters. The feeding of it is so simple and the cost so small that it is some- what singular that more farmers do not use it. TREE PAINT. A great variety of washes have been used for preventing the female beetles from Lying their eggs upon the trees. The following is probably as elllective as any that can be safely used without danger of injury to the oneâ€"half gallon of soft soap or five pounds of whale- oil soap in oneâ€"half gallon of hot Water, and add on-eehalf pint of car-- {who acid. When mixed, add five gallons of warm water and enough lime to make a whitewash of about the consistency of paint. Finally, stir in oneâ€"fourth of a pound of Paris green. Apply the wash in April, before the eggs have been de- posited on the trees, and again in a few weeks. All cracks and crevices must be fill-ed and the bark thor- oughly and completely COVOX'G'E, a stiff brush being best for the Work. It must be understood that the work has no effect upon the borers after they have once entered the tree, but is intended to prevent the depositing of eggs, or to kill newly hatched larvae before they have entered the bark. _â€" “.5â€" PERSONAL. POINTERS Interest About Some Leading People. rl'he Duke of Devonshire has in his possession a copy of Claude Lorâ€" rain’s "Book of Truth,” the rarest book in Europe. It is an heirloom in the family, and the duke’s father on one occasion refused an olier of $100,000 for it. ‘ Sir Frederick Holder, the first Speaker of the Commonwealth House of Representatives, started life as a schoolmaster in South Australia, of which Colony he was Premier when federation was accomâ€" plished. He has been for many years a Methodist lay preacher, and he has never permitted any political work to interfere with his preaching engagements. The first Commoner of the Commonwealth frequently figures in the pulpits of the Mel- bourne Methodist churches. Lord Spencer used to be known as the Red Earl, on account of his splendid board, which contributed not a little to his great air of dig- nity and distinction. Even now the description may be found occasion- ally applied to him in the news~ papers. But he might mord’propaâ€" ly be call-ed the White Earl. During the last tw0 or three years the ,rucldy hue of his board, has been ‘gradually disappearing, and a few days ago, when he loitered for some time in the Connnons’ Lobby, it. was observed that it had become almost white.

When Mr. "l‘ree was playing in "Captain Swift.” Ar- gus used to taln his place in the 1 Wings and follow his every word and look until the suicidal situation was reached. The moment Mr. Tree felt for his pistol Argus used to rush into the darkest corner he could find and, burying his head between his paws, listen for the thud of the actor’s fall. After that the dog Would crawl back to meet his mas- ter with a howl of joy at Mr. Tree’s apparent return to life. ’ Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, the preâ€" know that he» comes of Irish stock, though born far away in Milwaukee. He began his successful career in the office of a Chicago railway, and rose to be general store-keeper of the line. In this capacity he attracted the attention of the then manager of the Canadian Pacific line. who induced him to go to Montreal as general purchasing agent of the transâ€"continental railway.‘ In two years he was assistant manager. and he has since become the head of the line. ' The late Dean Farrar was an in- defatigable worker. I-Iis working day when he was at. Westminster beâ€" gan at half-past eight o’clock and lasted until ten at night, when he used to allow himself an hour or so with a novel or some other form of recreation. A good deal of his work was done in the library of the Athenaeum Club, where he was so- cure from interruption : when he wrote at home in Dean’s Yard he used to sit at an upright 'desk near the window, with his constant comâ€" panion, a. parrot, close by. Polly used often to break in upon her mas- ter’s train of thought by insisting upon perching on his finger. and her antics lent a. curiously humorous touch to the bookish interior. An amusing incident is told of King Victor of Italy, one of whose chief amusements is motoring. One day when out with the Queen they were passing through a small vil~ lage when a. breakdown occurred. Amongst the crowd attracted to the spot were two English motorists, who, unaware of the identity of the brandy. I wonder if he can supply me. Shall I ask '2 Perhaps he speaks French.” "I shall be most happy to oblige you,” said the King, in perfect English, turning and holding out his flask. Then, as he prepared to leave, he added : "Can I be of any further use to you ? My kingdom is at your disâ€" posal, and it is not so-sm'all as its monarch.” The- death of Mr. George Clunie Ross, commonly knowu as King Ross, draws "attention to the almost unique British possession in the Inâ€" dian Oceanâ€"the Cocos or Keeling Islands. The grandfather of ’King Ross found them uninher ted in 1825 and hurried back to Scotland to inâ€" duce his fellowâ€"countrymen to go out as settlers. Many went ; but in the meantime a notorious advenâ€" turer name-d Alexander Hare had taken possession of the islands with a number of natives from the Straits Settlements. The majority of Boss’s followers returned to Scotâ€" land, but some remained to support him. For some time the two facâ€" tions lived on bad terms ; but Ross’s influence gradually asserted itself, and Hare, deserted by his fol- lowers, left the place and died at Singapore. Since, then the prosperity of the island has been assured, and it has yielded a fine revenue to the Ross family, chiefly from the proâ€" ducts of the cocoanut. There is no legislation, no rates or taxes, and nothing really disturbs the serenity of the inhabitants but an occasional cyclone or earthquake. ST. infillâ€"lit .- nvrs inner.

Whatever a man's rank, he cannot escape the penalities of the law if he breaks it. Abroad, though a man of title can no longer commit. crime with impunity, yet punishâ€" ment is too often shockingly in- adequate. The case of Prince Pros- per von Arenberg is an example of how far fav0ritism of this kind can go. , The prince was in command of Goman southwest African district, and had as his confidential servant a halfbreed named Keen. The man chanced to arouse the prince’s disv pleasure, so his master made him drunk on brandy, and then, manacl- ing him, drew him up by a cord to the ceiling and practiced upon him tortures too dreadful to mention. At last he cut; the moaning victim down, and, turning him out of the house, ordered the sentry to shoot him, The sentry fired in the air, and then, when the prince lepeated the order, shot at Keen and wound- ed him in the leg. The titled tor- turer, mad with fury, pulled out a revolver and shot Keen through the head. As the man still showed signs of life, he seized a ramrod and forced it through the last wound into the man’s brain. The prince was tried by court martial and son- tenced to three and a half years’deâ€" tention in a fortress! De'tentionin a fortress is a sort of firstâ€"class im- prisonment, and is actually welcomâ€" ed by many officers as a. relief from the severity of their duties. Prince von Arenberg is a member of one of the greatest families in Germany, one of which the members are onâ€" titled to marry into the reigning family. ROBBED BY A PRINCE. In the winter of last year a most daring robbery took place in the open street at Batoum in broad daylight. The cashier of the Cas- pian Black Sea Naphtha company was carrying the sum of $7,000 from his office to a bank, accom- panied by an armed guard. Sudden- ly a man rushed out from, a side street, stabbed the guard, seized the bag of money from the cashier, and ran off with it. Two policemen gave chase; the man turned and‘ shot .them both and got clean away. This daring and successful robber was Prince Alexander Lordkipinadse, the author of a series of crimes exâ€" celling those perpetrated by even the worst of the old time western Amâ€" erican deeperadoes. He was at the head of a widespread organization of bandits, whose headquarters were in the Caucus mountains, and whose depredations extended to Batoum, 'l‘ii’lis, and Baku. A few months ago the head of the band was caught, and, with ‘his two lieutenants, Prince Valerian and Prince Elias Lulukidse, put on trial. The case lasted a fortnight. and there were proved against. them no fewer than 100 murders, besides numerous cases of arson and almost innum- crable robberies. All three met a richly deserved fate on the gal- lows. SET HER CASTLE ON FIRE. Berlin recently enjoyed a sensation in high life. Countess von Schlie- bcn was arrested on a charge of setâ€" ting fire to her summer residence in Stcglitz, one of the suburbs of the German capital. Bail was refused and the lady i'mamured in prison. The life story of this woman is distinctâ€" ly interesting. Twenty years ago she was plain Mary ‘Hertog, a flowâ€" er seller in one of the principal streets of Berlin. Her business did so well that she made a fortune and blossomed out as a patroness of charities and editress of a woman’s periodical. Then she married-Count V0_Ii Schliebcn, a man considerably younger than herself, and the pair went to live at Steglitz in the villa which has now been burnt down. This house, which the countess built. with her own money, is the one she is accused of burning. Austria has her titled criminals. In April, 1900, a landed proprietor, Count Ker-schendorff, was arrested for complicity in an extensive series of forgerics in ’i‘ransylvania. With him were implicated an exâ€"district prefect, two lawyers, several priests, and other persons of good standâ€" ing. The notes, which were most. clevercly forged, were issued to a value of over $50,000 before the fraud was discovered. Another Ausâ€" trian nobleman who has recently got into trouble is Count Hans Arz, who has been deprived of his rank and sentenced to two months’ imprisonâ€"- ment with hard labor for committing thefts in a dentist’s waiting room at Vienna. The case which has created most popular interest of any in which titled criminals have been concerned is that of the Princess Radziwill. The case arose out of the action brought by a third party against the late Cecil Rhodes and the Prin- cess Catherine Radziwill to obtain sentence in connection with certain I» W ' i.’ It'yfifill'fl'." .-'. 2"‘3; .'_ ~ ir‘fi '.v'_-;,n.,: 5., 1'7", Lu. 1a.: : i,_'1'?” 1., ...- km. wvggz-fi.‘ ‘5 zip/V a“. n-Z-l v. _ it.
