TIE FLY.


Much have been said of the fly of the
period, but few write about him who are
bald headed.
Hence we say word 1t is of no use
any more to deny the horrible truth.
Although beautiful as peri in other
ways, our tresses on top have succumbed
to the inclemency of the weather, and
our massive brow is slowly creeping over
toward the. back of our neck. Nature
makes all things even. If man be pos
sessed o. such ravishing beauty and such
winning ways that his power might be.
come dan1erous, she makes him bald
headed.
That is our fix.
When we have our hat on and go chas-
seing down the street with that camel
glide of ours, everyone asks who that
noble-looking Apollo with the deep and
melancholy eye is; but when we are at the
Office with our hat hung up on the French
walnut side-board, and the sun comes
softly in through the rosewood shutters
and lights up the shellac polish on our
intellectual dome, we are not so pretty.
Then it is that the fly, with gentle
tread and seductive song, comes and
prospects around on our bump of self
esteem and tickles us and makes us mad.
When we get where forbearanee ceases
to be virtue, we haul off and slap the
place where he was, while he goes over
to the inkstand and snickers at us. After
he has waded around the carmine ink
awhile he goes back to the bump of
spirituality and makes some red marks
over it.
Having laid off his claim under the
new mining law he proceeds to sink on
it.
If we write anything bitter these days;
if we say ought of our fellow man that is
disagreeable and unjust, and for which
we afterward get licked. it is because at
times we get exasperated and are not
responsible.
If the fly were large and weighed 200
pounds, and came in here and told US
that if we didn't take back what we had
said about him he would knock out the
window with our remains and let us fall
hundred feet into the busy street it
wouldn't worry us so much, because then
we could strangle him with one hand
while we wrote column editorial on
Conkling with the other. We do that
frequently. But little fragile insect,
with no home and no parents, and only
four or five million brothers and sisters,
gains our confidence, and then tickles
our scalp till we have to write with a
sheet of tar roofing over our head.
Then he comes in and helps us read
our proof. We don't want him to help,
but he insists on making corrections and
putting punctuations in the wrong place,
and putting full stops where they knocl,
the sense all out of the paragraph.
If the fly could be removed from oul
pathway, we would march along in oul
journey to the tomb in way that woule
be the envy and admiration Of the civil
lied world. As it is, we feel that we ar,
not making very handsome record.

At the London Geological Gardens
there is an elephant who eats buns out of
your hat. Lord Northbrook, who had
heard of this, bought bun, put it in his
hat and gracefully presented the dish to
the elephant. Unluckily, this happened
to be the wrong elephant and one whose
education has been neglected, for he took
hat and bun together, handed them into
his capacious mouth and munched them
contentedly, amid the inextinguishable
laughter of the onlookers. Lord North

The VILLAGERS OF CEYLoN. The Cey-
on villagers, if they know what is good
for them, should be a happy race-they
have no use for money. Nevertheless
they get into debt to the local capitalists,
who supply them with food, seed, oxen
and plows and helps himself from his
debtors thrashing floor to the stipulated
share of the produce. The blacksmiths
and artisans are similarly remunerated.
Even the crown claims a tithe Of the
paddy crop, and in some parts of the
land of other grain likewise. The people
themselves have an idea that this obliga-
tion dates from the Hindu Shastras, but
there is reason to believe that it is CON-
paratively modern. Standardization, the
curse Of Bengal, hardly exists at all fin
this fortunate island, where personal
service seems always to have been the
ordinary tenure obligation. The joint
family system, however generally pre-
walls, though each individual group is
usually smaller than in India 1t is dis
tinguished, moreover by disagreeable
variety: "Two or possibly more brothers
living under one roof will have one wife
between them" The practice, though
discouraged by legislation is by no means
extinct, "and still enters as a curious
factor in the law of inheritance, which
has to be administered by civil courts. u
A step in advance has lately been taken
by some of the wealthy native gentlemen,
who pay regular money, wages to the
poorer proprietors for their services, and
as a consequence, the latter are enabled
to cultivate their own little plots more.
