They are given as a diuretic medicine, as stated bv Wood & Bacheiu their Dispensatory, and also used to expel tape-worm. Those who have watched their effect upon milch cows, believe that this ac tion upon the kidneys reduces their yield of milk. And this is certainly the natural effect that extra action of the kidneys mu it have upon the secretion of milk. Strong action like this must also unfavorably aff ect fattening animal. . —hogs or cattle. Pumpelly, in his work “Across America and Asia,” says the Ch nese eat pumpkin seeds between the courses at dinner. This may be as an appetizer or digester. These seeds are rich in. nitrogen and oil. They are certainly very nutritious, and cattle and hogs are often eager to eat them. Some feeders of swine have been very successful in feed ng pump kins as a large part of the ration in fat tening then.. Experience seems to have been contradictory on this matter, but the explanation is simply this: The seeds in small quantity are not delete rious to animals in good health, but when it happens in breaking or cutting up pumpkins that the seeds get separat ed from the body of the pumpkin, and these accumulated seeds are thrown to the animals in a mass, and an extra quantity is eaten by a few, it produces a bad effect It is to be presumed that if hogs or young cattle eat only the common pro portion of seeds that is, if it eats a pumpkin and the seeds that belong to it, no harm will be done, unless the pig or steer is in an unhealthy condition. But as the seeds are so liable to get separated from the body of the pump kin, it is safer to separate them, and if fed, give them in very small quantity. It is the seeds alone that act deleteri- ously upon the kidneys. The pumpkin is a profitable crop to raise for feeding all the animals on the farm. Two to three tons per acre may be raised with very little labor in the corn field, and the food value per ton is greater than the best corn fodder. But it is not advisable to feed the seeds to milch cows—the danger is greater than the advantage.— Prof. Slewart, in Coun try Gentleman. The tendency of a certain sort of people to be fascinated by notoriety, and especially by criminal notoriety, is i a curious study. A recent dispatch ' says that Mrs. Bartlett, the woman lately tried in England on a charge of poisoning her husband, has, since her acquittal, received several advantageous i offers of marriage. Parallel cases may be found in plenty. Some twenty years ago a Scotch girl named Made leine Smith was tried at Glasgow for poisoning her lover. The evidence was strong against, her, but it was shown that the lover was a disreputa ble adventurer who had driven the girl to desperation by threatening her with the exposure of certain letters she had written to him. and the jury returned the Scotch"verdict “Not Proven.” No sooner was the prisoner free than offer- of marriage poured in upon her, and this notwithstanding the general belief that she had killea the man. There appears to be a sort of “crank” theory of ethics, incomprehensible by the world at large, which governs such cases, for on ordinary lines of reason ing it is impossible to understand the desire of any man to link his life with a woman even suspected of a proclivity toward the use of toxic agents at criti cal domestic junctures. Nevertheless it is certain that female poisoners from Lucrezia Borgia to th< Marchioness of Brinvilliers, and thence to the present day, have exercised this strange fascination upon a class of weak minds, aud uot only poisoners or sus pected poisoners, but criminals of al) kinds have had the same peculiar horn age paid to them. Laura Fair, who shot down Crittenden, the California lawyer, could have married any one of a dozen prosperous idiots after her ac quittal. Mrs. Dudley, who tried to kill O’Donovan Rossa, was offered several hands and hearts on the strength of her homicidal enterprise. The young woman who played the part of a female burglar in Brooklyn last year captured the affections of a stalwart farmer bj her felonious capacity. Perhaps th« dominant influence in those cases is that which attracted Fitz-James: Official Expressions—“ Royal” found to be the only absolutely pure baking powder.
