offer Will they be as energetic, as successful,
as their cousins across the line?
The climate of this region is far from what one
would expect from its northern latitude. While
1t can not be said to be entirely safe from early
degrees. there is seldom any from the middle Of
May till September, anu even the tender Gu
cumber attains maturity. Wheat. barley. and
vegetables ripen every season at the various
posts along the Pearl river. Wheat ripens even
as far north AZ Fort Simpson. in latitude 62 de-
crees, while wheat and barley from the Lake
Atiiabasca district took medal at the centen-
NAL. These crops, it is true, have been raised
on the bottom-lands along the river: and though
the table-laHds on each side are several hundred
feet higher. thcy are protected by that very ee
yatiou from those late and early frosts every
where prevalent on low-lying bottoul-lands.

IN FLY TIME.
How the Pestffer0us Insects are De-
strOyed I'm Hotels and Restaurants.

From the Philadelphia Times.
'Squeeze little lime juice into mine, Jim,"

on the other side of the counter. Then turn

afternoon. Well you would think there was q

"That's what they call the 'Annihilator
patent" he said. pointing to fine wire cage
that stood on one of the counters "The man
VINO sold me that declared that it would catch q
quart of flies an hour. The flies crawl in at the
bottom and are supposed to stay there, but
| they don't. No, stree! They crawl in, look
around and crawl out again. At any rate was
stuck for half dozen Annihlators. Then
tried the funnel traps, with hole in the top of
each to let the flies in. The flies just picncked
IN and around those cages, sleeping in 'em at
night and coming out In the morning to prey on
the customers. Last year bought a lot of fans
that worked Icy clock-work. and the shadows
cast by the arms were expected to brighten the
flies from the table the fan stood upon. They
worked admirably until the flies discovered that
the shadows never hurt them. and when that
discovery was made the usefulness of the fan
was at an end. The flies roasted on the fans
after that, and the arms, as they went whirling
around, belted so many people in the face that l

just sixty dollars.
We've got the flies down fine this summer,

Between eleven and twelve o'clock last night
all the furniture in the big dining room was
taken out and the myriads of flies upon the
walls and ceilings were busted with insect pow

hour not fly could be seen on the walls or cell

bucket to the brm. This plan of destroying
flies is practiced in all the large hotels and res
taurants. when | first tried the powder ~
SAID the landlord who invited the reporter to see
the ty-kiliing, last night. 81 thought it killed
the flies at once and they were swept up and
thrown into Jayne street. Next morning, when

SkObeletf, at the head of $4,000 men, succeeded
In effecting Judgment within the line of Turk
ish red Oubts, but that he was driven out on the
following day. His loss amounted to 5000 men,
but instead of his soldiers being disheartened
and Disguised with him personally by this dis
astrous failure, they worshipped him more than
ever as the general who had shared all their
perlls and who had performed almost incredible
feats of valor. y
Skobelef received his reward in being raised
TO the rank OF lieutenant general, with the COM
mand of the 10th division, which he at once set
himself to work to make the most efficient in
the army. His attention to the comfort of bis
men was unfortunately not so much as attempted
to be Initiated by any Othef Russian commander.
When the war was concluded he advanced out
of his own pocket sum Of money to enable his
sick and wounded to reach Odessa few weeks
earlier than they otherwise would have reached
ia thoughtfulness to which, no doubt, some
OF them owed their lives. On the other hand,
ne expected from them in return the greatest
seil-sacrince and the most unquestfOning ODE
dience. This they willingly gave as they found
ne never asked them to incur anydanger he was
unwilling to share His figure. clothed in white
uniform from head to foot and mounted on a
Wnite cnarger-whence he derived his name OF
where the fire was hottest; and the manner
IN which he escaped unhurt from the worst
fields OF carnage was nothing short Of miracu-
!ous, and excited his own wonder. as he was
fully pursuaded that he would not come out of
the campaign alive. Like Nelson, he always
dressed with exceptional care for the day OF bat
Tie, and one OF his greatest friends and admirers,
Lieut.. Greene, Of the United States army, says
that . he went into battle In his cleanest uni
form and fresh undertaking, covered with per
iume, and wearing diamond-hilted sword. In
order, as he said, that he might die with his best
clothes on" From these personal traits and
characteristics some idea may be gathered Of
the man. The historical characters to whom he
bore most resemblance appear to have been
Charles XII, Of Sweden. and the eccentric Lord

Legislature, simply because they
want the law repealed. Now such
persons are going TO make a great
mistake, if they desire to have their
county well represented, and at the
same time to accomplish their pur-
pose in having the law repealed. In
the first place, it is generally concc-
dcd that selections are very mccr-
tain" With many candidates in the
race, local prciudioos excited to fc-
yer heat, and false statements circu-
lated on the eve of an election, it can
not be denied that unworthy and in
competent men are sometimes elect
ed, and when they are elected they
have very little influence in the Leg
islature and signally fail to do the
very work for which they were spc-
cially chosen. Well authenticated
petitions, gotten up in January next,
after the law has been in operation

is no political eScitement would dc
