London Newspaper Carts.

a newspaper cart is light affair on
two owheels-naturally cart cannot be
on four-with one reckless driver and a
man to deal out papers. They rush
along with all the headlong speed of
the American butcher cart, and the
rivalry among them is something Won
derful. OF course the first paper on the
ground is the one that gets the cream of
the trade. Probably the handsomest
carts are those of the Globe and the
Pal Mall Gazette. The former has a
raised hemisphere on each side, typical
of the name; the latter's carts are oak
colored, with the title of the paper on
each side and on the ends. The Echo
carts are ugly and very serviceable.
Jgos before an edition comes out these
carts can be seen in row before their
respective printing offices, each paper
having about dozen. When the edi-
ton is published the carts are filled in
a twinkling with the paper in quires-
twenty-six to the quire-and small bum
dies wrapped up in contents bills. The
latest contents bills are pasted on the
backs of the carts and away they 90 as
speedily as if one of Arabi's bombs fell
among them. They dash through Lon
don Streets WITH the rollicky reckless
ness OF a fre-engine, and soon scatter
to all points of the compass. The bum
dies are flung in at the doors of the
news agents as the carts hurry by with
out stopping. At the street corners
they pause and the news-boys gather
around, handing in all the former edi-
tions that are unsold, together with
cash for as many more as they wish to
buy. The papers are dealt with great
celebrity by the man in the cart, who has
a trick of holding the sheets IN pecu-
liar way in his left hand, while he runs
his right across the edges thus exposed,
counting them accurately with the speed
of lightning. The amount of cash, gen.
orally rendered in pennies, seems to be
almost instinctvely got at by netting
them in his hand. The round has to be
made within certain time, and the
carts have to be back before the next
edition is due, and the cash and returns
handed in before another lot is brought
out. On the last round they collect the
cash and the returned papers from the
news agents.
The evening papers here are hardly
as honest in the matter of numbering
their editions as the American contem-
poraries. No London evening paper
numbers an edition as ''first;" for in
stance, the Echo's first edition is called
the second, and is issued at l o'clock.
The next edition they call the fourth,
and is issued at 2:20. The fifth edition,
which is really the third, comes out
at APO; the special edition at 6, and the
extra special at s. Some of the evening
papers begin business with a third edi-
ton, which the unsuspecting Britisher
buys under the impression that he is
getting something very late indeed.

How to Drive Flies Out of a Room.

Observations made by M. Rafford q
member of the Society d Horticulture at
Limoges, show that q castor oil plant
having been placed in a room infested
with flies, they disappeared as. by en-
chantment. Wishing to find the cause,
he soon found under the castor oil plant
a number of dead flies, and large mum.
Der of bodies had remained clinging to
the under surface of the leaves. 1t
would therefore appear that the leaves
of the castor oil plant give out all es-
sential oil, or some toxic principle which
possesses very strong insecticide quail
ties Castor oil plants are in France
very much used as ornamental plants
in rooms, as they resist very well vari-
ations of atmosphere and temperature.
As the castor oil plant is very much
grown and cultivated in all gardens.
the Journal d. d'Agricaltt4re points out
that it would be worth while to try
decorations of the leaves to DESTROY
the green flies and other insects which
in summer are SO destructive to plants
and fruit trees. Anyhow NJ. Rafford's
observations merit that trial should be
made of the properties of the castor oil
plant both for the destruction of flies
in dwellings and of other troublesome
insects. British Medical Journal

A Story of Two Georgia Judges.

We are sorry to say that Judge Pate
accepted challenge from ex-Judge
Hawkins to try their luck in the stream
after court adjourned. Court closed
after supper on Wednesday night and
on Thursday morning at o'clock, be-
fore it was good light, they started for
the creek. They had only moderate
luck, but Judge Pate gdt beat. When
their fish had been put on the strings
and they were ready to start home,
Judge Pate was thinking how he could
make it draw bet with Judge
Hawkins and said: Judge Hawkins,
give me one of your fish and | will have
as many as you have" mo" said
Judge Hawkins, ''you give ME one of
yours and I'll have twice as many as
you have" Now if you can tell how
many fish each judge had, you can
solve one of Capt. Martins puzzles

Curious Remedy For a Snake Bite,

Mr.. VIM. Musselwhite, who lives
about ten miles northwest of Tateyille.
Ca, was bit by large rattlesnake on
the leg. The snake was Immediately
killed and his head cut off and the cut
end bound to the bitten place. This
was done by Mr.. Musselwhite himself;
his mother being present cut off two
more pieces from near the snakes head
and also bound to the bitten place. 1t
is said that Mr.. M. ate about one pound
of tobacco and drank one quart of whis-
ky. He is yet alive and is improving
very fast. and it is thought by those
that have seen him that he will soon be
able to go to work.-Dooly (Ga.) Vix-
dicator.

How Ideas Come.

A certain lawyer justifes his pet hob
by, which is carpenter work, not mere
ly by the healthy relaxation of nervous
tensions and exercise of muscle it brings
him, but chiefly because he works out
his legal problems, plane in hand. Old
law reading comes back to him then,
out of the way precedents recur to mind,
the very text of the law book is never
SO clearly before him as then. He has
q glimpse of the volume and the page,
and the very part of the page on which
is some needed citation which he would
otherwise have long to seek.
Nor is it only memory which works
when he is half engrossed with the af-
fairs of his handicraft. Original thoughts
arise and ingenious devices; clever
combinations take shape of themselves.
The case works itself out, and mental
labor is only pleasurable exertion, just
as his amateur handwork is. Haw-
thorne composed walking. Musicians
are seized with ideas, and modern play
wrights seize upon others ideas, at the
most unexpected moment Business
men have been known to depend upon
their meditation at dead of night for
sound review of the present, and fore
cast on which they base their plans
When we are hurried. we long for rest,
to ''think over things" and decide ra-
tionally; but, relieved from pressure,
we ''think of nothing at ALL" Comes
the moment for action, we settle in
three seconds the confusion of DAYS,
and, for good or i'll results, our plans
are at least clear. What is needed is
not time nor will, but rather the favor
able moment when there is harmony
Then, like the electric message, thought
is swift and sure. The idea which we
have long waited for arrives, not as the
certain result of earnest thought, but as
the reward of thought, just as honorable
fame is the reward of noble deeds, but
not the certain result of them.-Boston
Courier.

Wonderful Instinct in Bees,

Many interesting accounts have been
written of the wonderful instincts of
honey bees-some, in fact, which would
almost tend to prove that they possess
ed reasoning faculties. An Australian
bee-keeper contributes to the Queens
lander the following interesting Incl
dent, illustrative of the sagacity of these
wonderful little insects: "a neighbor of
mine who keeps bees in bar-frame hives
had robbed them of some of their sur
plus store, but noticing few days af-
terward the honey running from the en-
trance to the hive, and the bees clogged
with it, he raised the top to ascertain
the cause, when he found the bees in SC
wotul a plight that he knew not what
to do, and was quite disheartened. He
mentioned the matter to me and went
to his assistance. l found the hive in a
dreadful state; the frames were very
large, and the weight of honey proper
tlonally great; the combs had fallen
down, and the honey had been set free
thousands of bees were suffocated and
smeared with the honey, and it was a
work of some difficulty to set matters
right. On the floor of the hive, and
floating in the escaped honey, were
dozens of white grubs, which had evil
IDENTIFY been forcibly drawn from the
cells by the bees, and the reason they
sacrificed their progeny appears to be
that, finding themselves overwhelmed
with the disaster that had befallen them
and having filled every available crevice
with the overflowed honey, they had
found it necessary to empty the cells of
the young brood in order to find space
to store the balance until the wreck
could be repaired. There was reason,
certainly, for what they did, and the
fact has not, perhaps, been noticed be-
fore because the people who kept bees
for observatory purposes would never
have allowed such a calamity to happen
to them.
