In Idaho is a species of the acacia tree that a writer in Harper's Weekly says is entitled to be classed as one of the wonders of plant life. The tree attains a height of about eight feet. When full grown, it closes its leaves together in coils each day at sunset. When the tree has thus setad ifonlf for ifo nitrKfclo^n if will klVU IU7V.11 AVk 1W 411511V wivvf/ iv >f lit flutter violently if touched, and if the branches be shaken a nauseating odor strong enough to bring on a; headache will be emitted. In Idaho it is called the "angry tree," and it is said that it was discovered by some men who were making a camp for the night and placed one end of a canvas covering over one of its sensitive brashes to use it as a support. Immediately the tree becran to ierk its branches sharply. The motion continued with increased "nervousness," until at last there came a sickening odor that drove the tired men to a more hospitable camping-place. , Why the Fly Is Dangerous. For each female fly hatched in; April there will be, if none of her progeny are killed, 7,600,000,000 in * September of the same year. Every fly is a possible carrier of disease on his hairy little feet.

XXX The race for Congress in the First district has narrowed down to a contest between R S Whaley and E W Hughes, with Whaley in the lead.

XXX I The estimates of the fortune left by Pierpont Morgan range from seventy-five millions to three hundred millions.

The proceedings were instituted by former Attorney General Lyon just before his retiring from office and had to be postponed on account of the illness of Associate Justice Woods. Justice Woods has recovered and the case will now be heard. Evans was an opponent of T.vnn in the race for Attorney General last summer and the bitterness which existed between them made the race a memorable one in the State. and multiply. But he likes to vary his diet ? fresh meat, sugar, bread?anything that humans eat the fly also likes. He dearly ioves to frequent the kitchen and dining-room of his human friends at their meal time, and he lunches on all kinds of filth between those meals. Every time he leaves the swill barrel or the cess pool for the kitchen or the dining-room he carries with him on his feet some of the filth on which he has just been walk ing. Swat, therefore, the voracious fly, or, better still, swat all you see; but keep from seeing many by starving them to death by keeping all their food supply in the stable, cesspool, swill barrel,kitchen and dining-room safely and securely covered up. e \ Cades Chronicles. Cades, April 1:?Farmers around here have pot busy since the pood weather came; some are plowing beans, others one thing and another, as everything needs to be done at I oncv The bean nrosnect amounts probably to half a crop,if no further disaster overtakes them from now on. Cucumbers appear to be a total failure. From the present outlook there may be a change in our school loca-! tion. but it is too early to say just j where the new site will be. Mr H -J Brown, of this place, will leave ir. a day or two for a trip to; Texas to visit his brother, who went from here in 18S0, and two sisters, who went from here in 18S3 Mr I Brown has not' seen these relatives: since their departure.

At the conclusion of an article on "The Poultry Business," in the current issue of Farm and Fireside, appears the following: "The four corner-stones upon which the success of the poultry business depends are: (1) suitable buildings properly located, 02) the right foods skilfully fed, (3) good fowls carefully bred,(4) facility and ability to hatch and rear chickens. *11* i 1 II any one is wining 10 employ some common sense, there is no reason why he should not be able to clear $200 over feed expenses from 100 layers.

It is a mistake to take calomel when your liver is lazy and needs toning up. Hundreds of people in this section have discoverd that Dodson's Liver Tone is a thousand times better and safer, and its action is just as sure. There are none of the bad after-effects of calomel to Dodson's Liver Tone and no danger of salivation. For attacks of constipation or biliousness one or two spoonfuls of this mild,pleasant tasting vegetable liquid are enough and Dr W V Brockington gives a personal guarantee that ev? Ha nil that is claimed tr*y uuiuc nui uv ? for it. Money back in any case where it fails. Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 50 cents for a large bottle. Remember the name because there are any number of remedies sold in imitation of Dodscn claims. Some of them have names very similiar to Dodson's Liver Tone?and are in same color package. These imitations are not guaranteed and may be very harmful. ~ j Go to Dr W V urocKinKxou a ?uu i ( you will surely get the genuine, adv Retrospection and Anticipation.
