The following item appeared in the
Farm Journal in July 1880., They
reprinted it in the July 1923 issue.
This is what was claimed and it's
just as good now as then? Put a
coup!*' i?f handfuls of the common
bfack walnut leaves into a vessel of
water all night, and next morning
boil for fifteen or twenty minutes;
then when cold take a sponge or rag
and moisten the eyes, nerk, legs, etc.,
of a horse; the flies will give those
places a wide berth. This may or
may not be true but it wijl not cost
much to try it. It is said, also, that
if carbolic acid soap is rubbed on the
neck and legs of a horse he will not
be bothered by flies. The strong
odor, of tbe soap drives these miser
able horse tormentors away; and,
besides the soap gives the animal's
coat a fine polish. Take a dry cake
of soap and rub on after grooming.

French Traitor Freed
From Devil's Isle
Paris. Three lines in a dally paper
have Just recalled a story of passion,
treason and crime; the ruin and degra
dation of a brilliant young naval offi
cer who. lf> years ago. betrayed his
country In order to obtain money for
h woman of whom in* was enamored.
Ullmo, condemned to penal servitude
for life, has bean released from his
prison in Devil's Island and given free
dom?comparative freedom, that is to
sny in the scorched land of Cayenne
where he will drag out the remainder
of his miserable existence.
La Belle Llson was the name of the j
woman who fascinated Ullmo In the
early years of his career at Toulon.
The son of a wealthy Industrialist at
Lyons from whom he received a hand
some allowance to supplement his pay,
Ullmo was envied by his poorer com
rades. But La Belle Llson had expen
sive tastes. To satisfy them the young
officer was (toon deduced to borrowing
and then to other more dishonest
means of procuring money.
Employed In a naval department of
fice where he had access to Important
documents, he succumbed to tempta
tion and began to sell secrets to for
eign agents. He even endeavored to
sell to his own government forged
documents purporting to be Informa
tion relative to a foreign power's mili
tary plans. Suspicions were raised and
the French authorities laid a trap for
Ullmo.
French Demand Motors
That Economize on Gas
Paris. ? France Is ten or twelve
years behind the United States In Au
tomobile production, Is the conclusion
of Andre Citroen, sometimes described
as the Henry Ford of France, upon his
return from America after mnklng a
comparative study of manufacturing
In the two countries.
"In France," said M. Citroen, "we
haven't mass production of automo
biles yet because of a more limited
market. There are 12,000,000 cars in
the United States, a very big market,
whereas In France we have 300.000
cars, with, say, 75.000 customers, each
one of which buys a t.cw car every
threo or four years.
"Th* chief difference In French and
American cars," said M. Citroen, "!?
that of style. The French like a grace
ful. light machine, burning relatively
little gas. The automobile Is still some
thing of a luxury with the average
Frenchman. Consider, there nre only
.10,000 In n big place like Paris, of
which 12,000 are prlvnt*. 12,000 on
hire and the rest truck*.
"I was amused." said M. Citroen, "at
the reception given the two sets of
cars I took with me. I thought my
caterpillar car which made the trip
over the Sahara would be regarded
with curiosity. Not nt all. It was my
regular type car The novefty of pop
sess'ng a French ?nr will appeal to
Americans, I think. There everythinp
Is for novelty. Yesterday 1s a closed
period f?r a mprlnins something to he
forgotten."

NEW YORK'S HALL OF DEATH
Building Woll D?acrib?d ?? a "Placo

It I* u gray building nestling along
tlu1 bleak and dreary water front of

ninth street- a building from which
emanates shuddering, creepy horror.
Mack wagous come ami go, leaving
their fcivwxoim' load*, writes o. o. Me

night vagrant lints from uearhy ware
houses heat against the walls. And
oft In (in1 river tht- soft swish of a
Joiiely puddle or the sound of u boat
man's night song.
The building Is the dei?MMtory for
the city's unidentified dead -the
morgue. In the gloomy . interior, a#
forbidding us the tomb, ure rows upon
rows of drawers, to each one of whleh
is thumb tacked a white card bear
Ing an almost illegible scrawl and
number.
l'erhaps a girl of the cuharets
washe<| up from the ever-flowing wa
ters. The gangster pistoled through
tin* skull. A woman In silks and sat
ins with add seared lips and all Iden
tification marks removed. The dis
illusioned froth ail walks of life. All
fiHf tiller III numbered drawers.
Into the ^waiting room, . feebly light
ed, come searchers with faces of
ghastly pallor- the aristocrat and
bourgeois. All hoping against hope.
Sullen, phlegmatic attendants take
them one by one Into the hall of
death to gaze upon the human flotsam
of a great city.
Veteran reporters', lured to the sor

without an Inward shudder. Hut they
must go, for the morgue Is the first
step in unraveling many or New

times the steps lead to the grilled
doors of Fifth avenue's most palatial
mansions.

plcious Bank Cashiers.
A rule whs recently established In
one of Chicago'*! stores to the effect
that any customer wishing to charge
and at the same time take purchases
must show the floor walker something
for identification.
One day a stout woman hustled up
to the glove counter, selected a pair
of gloves, and said to the clerk : "I'll
Just take these with 'me. Charge
them, .please." The <:clefk tilled out
the necessary slip and called " the floor
walker.
"Have you anything by which you
can he Identified?" he asked.
The customer flushed uncomfort
ably. "Why ? I ? I never heard of
such a thing!"
"It's a new rule, madam. Every
customer Is required to show some
mark of identification. I'm sorry, hut
none of our other customers have
taken offense."
-The woman looked about her doubt
fully. "Well," she said reluctantly,
"if I've got to, I suppose I must."
Then quickly unfastening her .collar
and pointing to a large brown mole
on her neck, she said : "This Is the
only mark I've got. I've had It all my
life, if you think it's going . to do
your store any possible good you're
welcome to look at It !" ? Judge.
To "Educate" Wine Drinkers.
English palates, long noted for their
appreciation of fine old wines, are
in danger of deterioration because
bf the lower price of vintages, accord
ing to a group of prominent wine mer
chants who propose an English "wine
week," in emulation of the French
custom. Wine, they declare, is no
longer a luxury, as the lower price
has brought It within reach of all.
The purposes of wine week, It is
said, will be to educate the English
taste for wines and also to instruct
diners In the elementary rules and
traditional usages of leverage selec
tions. It Is planned to gather a repre
sentative group of speakers and
writers to sing the praises of wine and
to tell those who would learn how to
drink it. The merchants expect sub
stantial assistance from the govern
ments of wine-producing countries,
such as France, Italy, Spain and Aus
tralia.

Some ?,f fhe new arrivals who bad
never laid eyes -on the Leviathan could
not be convinced that It was a ves
