Meeting of Brothers After FOrty-Five
Years.

The Cortland Republican has an ac-
count of the strange meeting of two
brothers after n prolonged separation.
1t says "About sixty years ago, Mr..
Richard Almy, then living in East Ho-
mer, had his wife's brother, John
Wright, come from Schoharie county,
to live with him. John lived with him
until he was twenty years old, when he
went to work for Gen. Miller, on what
is now the Loring farm, and afterward
for others. About 1926 he induced his
brother, Eiakim, ten years younger
than himself, to come to Homer. Ella
kim lived with Mr.. Almy for while and
then began TO work for others. He
worked a year for Mr.. J. Barber, dur
ing which time he aided in digging tue
cellar of his present house. He worked
year for Mr.. b. Tubbs. In 1927 John
left Homer, lived several years in the
western part of the State, and then
moved to Michigan, where he still has
his home. In 1898 Eliakim went to live
in Cattaraugus county, n. Y, where he
still resides. In 1880 they lost track of
each other. Neither, however, forgot
the others existence, and both lived on
in hope of meeting again. Three weeks
ago last Monday John left his Michigan
home for the East, determined, if posi-
BILE, to find his brother, from whom he
had heard nothing in forty-five years.
The next morning Eliakim started from
his New York home on the same errand.
Each had decided to come to Homer
and institute inquiry. They reached
Syracuse within two hours of each other.
John took the noon train for Homer,
and Eliakim the evening train. Upon
making inquiries here, both were separ-
ately directed to Mrs. st. John, their
neice. Neither of them knew that she
was here. They called upon her, and
the next morning she had the pleasure
of introducing them to each other. The
meeting, as may be readily imagined,
was an affecting one."

Protection Against Flies.

"M. w. S." of Sloansville, n. Y,
writes to the New York Tribune If
any information or suggestion can be
given which will tend to reduce the dis
comfort arising from the prevalence of
house flies, that information or sugges-
tion will benefit at least one-half the
people of this country, particularly at
this season of the year, when the pests
are being armed and equipped for the
Summer campaign. On this subject
there are a few things worth publishing
and knowing. One is that the eggs of
flies are never laid or Matched in the
house, and scarcely ever in the shade.
There are few favorite localities where
the eggs are deposited, which can be
easily discovered. One is upon the
lower side and along the main rib of the
leaves of certain kinds of trees and
shrubs. If the leaves curl, and upon
examination a mass of minute insects
are found, or color from dusky brown
TO black, and flies small to full grown
are about the tree, one may know that
tree or shrub is the hatching-p place for
flies. A small tree is sufficient to pro-
duce millions of them. L have at differ
ent times been compelled to dig up
beautiful purple-leaved beebery and an
English cherry of the yellow Spanish var
iety for the reason that they were breed
ing ground for flies, and in too close
proximity to my house, which they were
yearly filing with this filthy insect. An
other f&vorite place for depositing their
eggs is where the flow from a sink is al
lowed to stand and grow putrid on the
surface of the ground. Where favorite
food is furnished them and light is freely
admitted they will be attracted a long
way, but in dining-rooms ond kitchens
all sweet and moist food should be Sc
cured as soon as the table is left by the
family and the light excluded. If these
few suggestions are needed the annoyance
OF flies and the consequent reputation of
a s.ovenly house can be easily avoided to
n great extent. This will pay good inter-
est, first in a reputation for cleanliness,
and secondly in being relieved of a nui-
sance which is often past human endur-
onaa

New Postal Regulations.

People who write letters and mail
newspapers to their friends the "wide
world over," will find something to in
terest them i'll the following change in
postal regulations which have of late
been made:
The department is prepared to com
mence the issue of postage stamps of the
denomination of five (5) cents, to meet
the new letter-rate of postage, under the
treaty of Berne, to the following coun-
tries, viz: Germany, Austria, Hungary,
Belgium, Denmark Gncluding Iceland
and the Farce islands,, Egypt, Spain
Gncluding the Belearic isles, the Canary
islands, the Spanish possessions on the
northern coast of Africa, and the postal
establishments ofSpain upon the western
coast of Morocco, Great Britain Tin
cluding the island of Malta, Greece,
Italy, Luxemberg, Norway, the Neither
lands, Portugal Gncluding the island
OF Madeira and theAzores), Roumanla,
RussiaGncluding the Grand Duchy of Fin
land, Servia, Sweden, Switzerland, and
Turkey.
The changes in foreign postage will
render unnecessary further issue of the
Z, II, and q cent stamps and stamped
envelopes, and they will accordingly be
discontinued.
In order to avoid the liability to mis-
take caused 10y the near similarity in
color between the 2-cent and 10-cent
stamps, the former VIII in future be
printed in vermillion, the color of the
discontinued 7-cent stamp.
The department will also issue
revised schedule of stamped envelopes,
TO take effect on the 1st of July. Among
the changes, all of which need not be
here specified, as they will appear fully
in the schedule, is the addition of 5-cent
envelopes, in suitable sizes and qualities
for foreign postage. There will also be
added, in appropriate denominations, a
new size of envelopes, 30 by 81 inches,
to be designated as No. A. commercial.
The new size is a medium between the
full letter and extra letter, and is well
adapted to business requirements. The
of the public is especially in
vited TO it.

Wonderful WOOd-Sawyers.

They tell of some extraordinary Gin
cinnati wood-sawyers. Old Mr.. Crab
apple is very much pleased with a gen.
tleman whom he has engaged to saw
wood. "When he piles the wood, +"
said old Crabapple to his friend, if one
stick projects beyond the other hepounds
it with the AK" "He's slouch," re-
piled old man Stubble; "you should see
my wood-sawyer. When he gets the
wood all piled he takes off the rough
projecting ends with a claw-hammer
saw" "Does hel Well, he couldn't t
pile wood for me-" broke in old Spiken-
berg; "my sawyer piles the wood care
fully, then goes over the ends with a
jackplane, sandpapers them down, and
puts on coat of varnish before he thinks
of asking for his pay" Then they all
went into the Grand Hotel before Syntax
could tell how his wood-sawyer silver
plated all the ends of the wood, and
nailed a handle on each and every stick
to pick it up by.

An Unreliable Timepiece.

One night Mr.. Cooley's clock sudden
ly got out of order, and at midnight il
struck six. Cooley happened to be
awake, and when he heard it he jumped
from bed, and, after routing out Mrs.
Cooley, he dressed himself. Then he
was surprised to find that the servant
girl was not up, and he walked her and
told her TO make the best possible time
she could and hurry up breakfast. Then
the whole family came down stairs won
dering how it was they felt so sleepy.
But they lighted the gas and hustled
about as usual, preparing for the days
work. Cooley's brother Bill had been
out TO party, and about half past twelve
he came home. When he saw the light
in the house he suspected at once that it
had been entered by burglars. So he
crept up to the door and listened. He
could distinctly hear the robbers moving
about inside, and he concluded that he
would get gang of policemen and cap
ture them. While he was gone on his
errand the clock struck seven, and Mrs.
Cooley said she thought it was queer
that it was still so dark out of doors.
Pretty soon Bill returned with two of
ficers, and they determined to act
promptly and decisively. Bill unlocked
the front door, and as he did so police
man fired his revolver at burglar he
saw going through a door at the other
end of the hall. Then the whole party
opened on the robber, and he dropped,
howling ; and the other robbers in the
back room began TO scream. Then Bill
rushed up and saw it was Cooley, and he
ascertained that the yells came from Mrs.
Cooley and the hired girl. Cooley was
shot in the leg. When his brother Bill
recognized him he began to apologize,
but Cooley said
Gway from here, you scoundrel
I'll have you hung for numbering me
What d'you mean, anyhow "
Before Bill could reply the clock
struck eight ; and Cooley said it was an
outrage for him to stay sUt all night and
come home shooting at his family at
eight o'clock in the morning. Then Bill
insisted it was only two o'clock, and the
policeman said he was right. Cooley
began then to grasp the situation, and
he was just about to swear at the clock
when it struck fifteen. Then he told
Bill to stop that clock or he would go
crazy, and when Bill stopped it, it struck
twenty-six. This excited Cooley so
much that ne seized a chair and flung 1t
at the timepiece, whereupon it promptly
struck two hundred and thirty four.
Then Bill threw it into the street, where
it struck straight ahead until five o'clock,
while the Cooleys and Bill all went to
bed. Mr.. Cooley purchased chronom-
eter on the following Saturday, and for
bade anybody to bring a striking clock
anywhere near the house.-lIdr AdeLer.

Which Is the Old World =!

The efforts of Max Muller, Lubbuck
and other scientists to establish the
theory that all the present races on the
planet are derivative, and that they have
their ancestral roots on the Iranian plains
of Central Asia, seems likely to be I'M
successful. Many scientists have arisen
during the last decade who earnestly
controvert the hypothesis, and, like
Aagssiz, insist upon diverse origin, and
even claim that the western continent
may have been the birthplace of the
race. There are some curious facts that
tend to confirm this theory.
1t is well known that the first rock that
made permanent appearance above the
chaos of the molten globe is the Lauren
tian ridge of granite which trends south
westward from Nova Scotia TO Lake Su-
perior In the natural process of evolu-
tion, why should not the first soil become
earliest fitted for the abode of man
Moreover, while comparative philology
demonstrates the kinship of most of the
peoples of the eastern hemispheres, the
most careful scrutiny reveals no relation
ship between them and those races which
may be generally known as the Tartars-
including under this designation not
only the Calmuck and Cossacks of Russia,
and the Siberians and North Chinese,
but the Esquimaux, North American In
dian Mound-builders, Aztecs, Tolticans,
and ancient Peruvians. How early the
primitive races emigrated from America
to Asia cannot even be coniectured, but
intercourse across the Upper Pacific
must from the earliest ages have been
comparatively easy.
This belief finds confederation in the
high civilization attained in Mexico and
Peru. Under the long dynasty of the
Incas, civil engineering was carried to
perfection in many branches which it
has not yet recovered in any part of the
world. Two thousand years before
Christ, Peru had population larger than
that of the present United States. They
had made more progress i'll astronomy
than even the Ptolemaic school III Alex
andria had made thousand years later;
they had invented the mariners compass
and used it, and their agricultural pro-
cesses were equal to those of Holland to-
day. Ii further and closer scientific re-
search should confirm this hypothesis,
the question will be, not how was the
American continent first populated, but
how came the new eastern world TO be
inhabited, and did the Indo- Europeans
start into being because fertile soil was
ready, or did they colonize the Orient
from the shores of Mexico-the prima
cradle of the race P-Grdphic.

French Economies.

When Frenchman in a cafe puts two
of the little slabs of white sugar in his
coffee, and the remaining two in his
pocket, it is not meanness, but economy.
The four consecrated to the demitasse
are paid for and the purchaser may
carry them home to the canary bird,
present them to the children of the con-
cierge as n means of maintaining pleas
ant relations with that person, or keep
them for eau sucree. Life is not large
as in the United States, where there is
elasticity in the incomes. Here they
are fixed; so much a year, month, and
day. The line about the budget of ex-
pense is rigid, especially in the case of
small renters, who abound in France.
The man of 5000 francs year rides on
the top of the omnibus for three sous;
reads the papers in one of the small
reading-rooms for four sous; smokes
one or two sous worth of Caporal tobacco

SMALL EXPECTATIONS.

1t was generally supposed by our fam
lily, and those who knew us well, that my
uncle Buncle would "leave me some
thing" at his demise. In fact, thought
so myself. Our reasons for this belief
being these
Fnst. When I was little girl,
though he took no notice whatever of
other little girls, he always patted me
on the head when we met, and said,
"Ha, Ia here you are, Hetty."
Secondly. When 1 was a big girl,
and went to school, he always chucked
me under the chin on holiday occasions,
and inquired, Well, what are they
teaching yOu, Hetty?"
Thirdly. When L had grown to be
woman, he established the following
form of greeting as permanent thing /:
Him how do you dol"
Fourthly. He never took notice of
any one else in SO many words, but
merely nodded to all other mortals.
Filthy. When / was married, he
presented me with an antediluvian tor
toise-shell once the property of the late
Mrs. Buncle, and of a preposterous
fashion, said to have been in vogue at a
remote date, the back half foot high,
and elaborately carved. AS he disap-
proved of weddings generally, and never
before had been known to give the
bride anything but scolding, this was
really something to build upon-though,
by the way, L offended him sorely by
refusing to wear the horrible thing to
the altar upon my wedding day.
Now, of course L did not wish Uncle

had / been certain that, on his decease,
should become q millionaire still, we
know that all flesh is mortal, and Uncle
Buncle was like the rest of the world in
this respect and when he did depart, it
would be comfort to be the means of
presenting Charlie with six thousand
pounds.
When we moved to our charming little
cottage at Barley Hill, then l decided
that when Uncle Buncle visited us,
would make him so comfortable, that
the matter would be quite settled. And,
in fact, the spare room was furnished
with an eye to his peculiar tastes, and a
large amount of pepper was laid in which
to season his favorite dishes. However,
Uncle Buucle declined our invitations
persistently and having kept our spare
room empty for him long while, we at
last informed the rest of our friends who
had promised to visit us that we were
anxious for their company.
We certainly were. Nothing could
have pleased us better than that they
should have arrived in a body on one
day. But, alas Barley Hill Cottage had
few disadvantages among them, the
fact that there were but four rooms and a
bath-room-with which, by the way, we
had such an indescribable amount of
trouble, on account of our faulty plumb
ing, that we wished that modern conve-
nience was not ia our possession.
Consequently, when on one day we
had the pleasure of greeting the Misses
Jones, the Misses Brown and their NAM
ma, Cousin Clarissa, and Mrs. Twit's
Miranda Jane, aged nine, we were rather
puzzled. However, necessity is the
mother of invention. We apologized to
TO the Misses Brown and their mamma for
putting them all three together in the
spare room. We resigned ous without

once a week for three to five francs, and
to the cafe chantant once or twice, where
his cOnsOnanlotion costs him ten sous
each time; he eats two-franc dinners,
followed by that indispensable black
coffee, for six sous, with one or two sous
gratuity, at one of the second-class cafes.
The chief part of his time he strolls on

Say, Mary, canst thou sympathize

And take 10 special pleading?

But then, that bright blue eye sent forth

And filed my declaration.
