The United States department of ag riculture has thoroughly tested a 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 treatmeut tested the horse was fed a little hay and oats in the morn ing and ullowed to go without food the rest of the day. In the evening-a purgative was given. Next morning the horse was given three drains of carbon bisulphide in a gelatin capsule three times at intervals of an hour. When the capsule reached the horse's stomach it dissolved, and the carbon bisulphide, a liquid that is extremely volatile at the temperature of a horse's body, evaporated rapidly. The gas suf focated the bots and other parasites in the horse's stomach without injur ing the horse in the least. The remedy was tried with complete success on a large number of affected animals.

FISHER, THE HILL OF TARA. Power of the Opium Habit. In the American Magazine a former newspaper man, who became a victim of the opium habit and is now n con vict in a penitentiary, writes a dramat ic account of bis experiences with the drug. lie gives ns follows his idea ot the power of the habit: "I do not believe that any mnn with an opium or morphine habit of years standing can deny himself the drug if it is within reach. "I do not believe that any mnn. no matter what his previous cbaracter 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 a 'habit' he will thieve. This is the history of every opium smoker I have ever kuowjj." Christian Science Practitioner. 112 B Street. Phone 71. Dr. W. W. Watkins Naturopathic Physician.

Where In Ancient Timee the Kings of Ireland Were Crowned. In the county of Meath is supposed to have stood the hall of Tara. cele brated as being tbe palace of the an cient Irish kings. There seems to be no doubt that on tbe hill ot Tara tbe national assemblies met once a year to consult on tbe affairs of tbe kingdom and to make laws. Tbe lawgivers were a class of druids called Brehons, wbo acted ns magistrates and Judges. They did not bold their courts of Jus tice In any ball, but seated themselves on tbe top of a bill in the open air. where they beard all complaints that were brought before them and decided every cause according to their own Ideas of right and wrong. .. Tbe hill of Tara is also famous In Irish history as the spot on which the kings were crowned. Tbe throne, or seat of inauguration, was a black stone, which was called Lea Fail, or the fatal stone, said to have been brought In the early ages from Spain, and It was therefore held in high ven eration, it was either borrowed by Feargus the Great, an Irish chief, or else It wan carried away, among other spoils, by the Scots in one of their in vasions of Ireland and was ever after ward used as a coronation scat of tbe kings of Scotland at tbe abbey of Scone until It was conveyed away by force of arms, together with tbe crown and scepter, by Edward 1 to England, wbo placed It In Westminster abbey, where it still exists and forms tbe ba sis of the coronation cbalr to tbla day. Argonaut. The Invention of the Panorama. The panorama was invented by a Scotchman named Robert Barker, who obtained a license in London In 1787 and erected a rotunda on Leicester square, ne was associated with Rob ert Fulton, the practical inventor of the steamboat who Introduced pano ramas into Paris in 1790. 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 tbe Parisians, whom he always tried to impress with the mag nitude of the achievements in prder to keep them faithful to his star. But these projects were never realized. Forgetmenot. Roosevelt as a Woodchopper. When he owned a ranch io tbe west Theodore Itoosevelt. as he says in his autobiography, "could chop tairly welt for an amateur." but be admits that be could not do one-third of tbe work that bis men did. "One day." be writes, "when we were cnttlug down the cottonwood trees to begin our building operations, 1 heard some one ask Pow what tbe total cut had been, and Dow. not realizing tbnt 1 was within bearing, answered. 'Well. Bill cut down fifty-three. I cur forty nine, and tbe boss, be beavered down seventeen. Those wbo hnve seen the stump of a tree that has been gnawed down by a beaver." adds Mr. Roose velt, "will understand tbe exact force ot tbe comparison." "Ah. yes. there are still true and loy al souls in this sad world." murmured the solemn individual in the tortoise- shell classes. "I used to know a dear girl it was ten long years ago and not a year has passed since that she hasn't written me a birthday letter. Always what she writes Is about the same: 'Dear Alfred. I can't ever forget, not if I live to be a hundred, this day of all the days in the year. Let me once again wish you long life and hap piness with nil my heart. etc." "Very sweet of the girl." said the stout young man with the amazing waistcoat, "very sweet of ber indeed. "Very," replied the solemn individu al, "only, you see, she writes that dashed letter to me on a different day everj' year." New York Post. $2 THE YEHR Strictly la Advance $2 For the Collection Box.
