FLY POISON.—" It is a curious fact," says the Courier
de Lyon, "that although the butchers' shops at Geneva
are all open, and an immense number of flies may he
seen on the outside wall, not one comes inside. This is
caused by the inner walls being rubbed ever with laurel
oil, which is an effectual preventive against the inn's'
sion of these troublesome insects. The same oil is also
used with success in preventing the flies from spoiling
the gilt frames of looking-glasses, pictures, etc."
