Under the Swatter's Banner.
Of course it Isn't pleasant to think of
flJoa trailing their contaminated wings
over yonr food, but you can't make
7W&T with rosewater, and civilization
ibas declared war on the fly. There
dtore you must think of these things.
If the pest is to be exterminated It
must be In the home, and every house
wife must become a crusader and
march under the sign of the swatter.

A HOMEMADE FLY POISON.
Beat together the yolk of one
egg, one-third cupful sweet milk,
one level tablespoonful of sugar
and a level teaspoonful of black
pepper. Put on plates and set
where flies abound. After a few
hours, says Emma P. Telford,
you will find the floor covered
wltbujead or stunned flies. Sweep
up and burn.
Cleveland is to be i-luxm-d ami n
logued as a flyles town. In the cut
paign Inaugurated for the citt'iiiiln
tion of tUe fly four ntis are uutlintHi
First. To educate the people as
the deadly nature or tne ny.
Second. To kill off all wmtsr fiiea
thaae hidden about tho houses, waiting
their aoaaon of forage.
Third To do away with all brooding
plaoes for flies.
Fourth. To trap all flies that happen
to capo.
As the first step addresses on the
subject are beiug made before the va
rious women's clubs and in the schools
of the city. Circulars aad booklets w ill
be distributed among the children of
the schools, to be carried by them to
their homes; posters and lllustrntfd
bulletins will be placed in the schools,
in the street cars and other public
places, carrying the sermon of the fly
reform.
The extermination of the winter fly
Is a problem for the individual house
keeper. Don't let one fly escape you.
Hunt for them and kill tbem, for tho
winter fly is the most dangerous of the
race. The winter fly is the mother of
all next summertolarrlble throng.
To do away wfth the fly breeding
places Is merely a matter of cleanli
ness, for the fly Is a scavenger, a lover
of filth and an habitual follower after
all that Is unclean and unwholesome.
Clean houses, gardens and yards, clean
streets and allerways discourage the
fly in Its breeding proclivities, and
therefore the doctrine of cleanliness Is
to be preached by the anti-fly cru
saders, along with the sermons on the
deadly character of the Insect.
And carrying out the fourth step all
the house furnishing stores In the city
will be asked to carry In stock and
push the sale of fly traps, marvelous
little wire screen bouses to be baited
ped Is doomed. With the campaTgnw
education- -w-iU- be--eieaomplale, In.-,
etrnctlons for the use of the fly trap,
which may be placed on porches or
window Bills, on garbage palls any
where that files are likely to congre-'
gate, but always on the outside of the
house always outside. Catch tho fly
otitaido of tho houao before it has a
chance to come in and spread lt poi
on and disease.
This city Is to be divided Into dis
tricts and eaoh district divided again
Into clans and clubs, and from each
center, small or large, branches will
reach out, grappling with the subject
In whatever way seems best adapted
to that Individual section.
Death to tho fly is to be the battle
cry. It is to be a fight of man against
his enemy the fly and of the fly against
man.

Knowledge for Its Own Sake.
Meanwhile from the earliet epoch
(1834 B. C.) the Chinese had utilised
the characteristic! property of the com
pass needle, but do not seem to hare
connected It with any theoretical
ideas. The really profound changes in
human life all hare their ultimate
origin in knowledge pursaed for Its
own sake. The use of the compass
was not introduced into Europe till
the end of the twelfth century, A. D
more than 3,000 years after Is first
use In China. The importance which
the science of electro-magnetism has
since assumed in every department of
human life is not due to the superior
practical bias of Europeans, but to the
fact that in the west electrical and
magnetle phenomena were studied by
men who were dominated by abstract
theoretic Interests. A. N. Whitehead
in "An Introduction to Mathematics.
Whist.
Former Associate Justice of the S
preme Court Shlras is set In his views
about the sphere of woman. Mrs.
Shlras is a devotee of wbiet, and was
at one time a member of a whist club
that met on several evenings each
week. After a club meeting Mrs. Shl
ras asked one of the club members to
drive home with her in her carriage.
When the came to the Shlras house
the escort stepped to the door with
Mrs. Shlras. The Justice opened the
door himself in answer to the ringing
of the bell, but as the hall was dark It
was not certain who was In the hall
way. "Is that you Mr. Justice?" asked
the person who had driven home with
Mrs. Shlras. "Yes." he replied; "this
is the old man waiting for the new
woman." Saturday Evening Post.
European Centenarians.
Centenarians In Europe are much
more numerous in the south than in
the north, accordffig to the investi
gations of a German scientist. From
statistics he has collected it appears
that Bulgaria has one centenarian in
every hundred of the population,
while Germany can barely muster
one In a million. Germany, in fact,
has only 76 such patriarchs, compared
with Bdlgara's 3.83. Rumania has
1.074. Servia iZ. Spain 410, France
213. Italy 197, Austria-Hungary 113,
Great Britain 92, Russia 89, Norway
23, Sweden 10, and Belgium 5.
Minister and Priest.
Times have, indeed, changed from
the days of the immigration of the
Puritans to that of their old-time an
tagonists. The earlier warfare has
died away, and many a minister of
an old Puritan church on this side of
the water feel3 an affection for the
faithful priest of the humble multi
tudes of his own town which he does
not feel for some ministers who bear
the name of Protestant. In the men
tal and spiritual spheres attraction
often decreases with the nearness of
two bodies and repulsion increases.

"If you have taken a drsro In di

bishop that So-and So, though not of
Oxford, was wearin;; a master's hood.
" 'And I call It, bishop,' said the com
plainant bitterly, 'wearing a He on his
