A Maid Who Slew Two Flies.


A little girl while playing with two
dragon flies accidently killed them. At
night the girl became feverish, and in
her deliriouS state called out that the
dragon flies We're dashing about before
her eyes. Her parents, on learning the
story, were much agitated. and invoked
the assistance of certain priest sup
posed to be endowed with supernatural
powers direct from heaven, and able to
drive away all evil spirits. For given
sum he was willing to subdue the genii
of the dragon flies. He came with his
followers, his musical instruments and
his pictures of gods. Three days and
nights he banged away at his gongs and
drums calling upon every deity in the
Pantheon, while his assistants disturbed
q whole block of neighbors with their
shrieking trumpets, tomtoms and other
most unmusical contrivances. The girl
got no better; the ghosts of the dragon
flies still pursued her. The parents
were in despair; the priest was at his
wits end, and spurred on his followers
to make greater exertions and noise
A cousin of the girl then heard of the
matter, and offered his services, which
were accepted. He ordered the priest
to desist from all lamentations and
gong beating. He entered the room
where the sick girl lay, showed her two
paper cut dragon flies, and gently told
her that they were the spirits of the
flies that were bothering her, and he
had caught them and was going to burn
them He then applied the paper
dragon flies to the light, and in mo-
ment the girl leaped up radiant with
Joy, viewed the ashes of the paper flies
With satisfaction and declared she saw
no more of them. The young man,
when asked to explain by what magic
art he had cured the girl, replied that
it was her imagination that caused her
annoyance, because she had always
been told by her parents not to kill in
sects, as they would demand life for
life, and this, no doubt, worried her
and brought on her delirium.
Meanwhile the priest packed up his
instruments, rolled up the pictures of
his gods silently, and as silently stole
away.

BIG ORDERS FOR steel RAINS.
Improvement in the Iron Trade-Active
Demand for Building Material.
IRON No Hartford Tunes.

ETOto mo Hdfff0T1 IfHfS.
PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-During the
past week the Pennsylvania mills secured
orders for 80, 600 tons Of steel rails. The
Union Pacific placed an order for 1900
tons, bought at $26 30 at the mill. Western
and southern roads want some 80 coo tons
for summer and fan construction, and
will likely place these orders at their own
prices. Steel wire rods have fallen TO
S8S 30, crop ends SIS. A little improve
ment has been developed in several
branches Of the iron trade. because Of the
apprehension entertained that because Of
the low condition of stocks in consumers
hands, a more general demand is prob
able. The meeting OF the Western manu-
facturcrs and their workmpn is watched
with deep interest by manufacturers all
over the United States. A lockout in the
West will improve demand in the East for
all excepting the specialties of the West
ern mills IL is probable that a quarter
OF a mill on the dollar will be invested
during the coming six or eight months in
steel making plant in tins State. Manu-
facturers are everywhere figuring upon
the process, and in the event Of lockout
a stimulus will be impaired to the adop-
ton Of the new method.
Since the first of the year exports Of
COPPER, Including copper ore, foot up 90
100000 pounds, the largest exports known
in four months.
The backwardness in manufacturing is
telling severely on the anthracite COM
bination. The companies have begun a
secret cutting Of rates against each other,
similar to that which has been going on
for months against the railroad compa-
MES, and the present indications
point to the disruption Of the com
binatiOn. But the combination has
weathered so many storms that manu-
featuring and buying interests are not
confident that they will be able to
profit by it's destruction. The producing
interests are looking to the Western mar
ket for safety, believing that the Il mand
from that quarter will absorb their entire
production and enable them to discontinue
the present disastrous cutting Of prices.
Several large contracts, aggregating 500,-
coo tons, have been placed recently on
private terms.
The demand for building material is
active. Large orders for wrought iron
and cast pipe are coming in. Iron nails
are selling in Western Pennsylvania at
81; steel nails, 81 10: in Eastern Ppnnsvl-
vania, 81 10 10 81 ~. The tendency of
prices is downward. Builders hardware
is steady. The latest reports from the
larger cities throughout the country show
a continuance Of building activity and an
improved demand for material of nearly
all kinds.
The closing up OF so many avenues for
the employment Of capital is resulting in
an unusual accumulation Of capital in
leading financial centres. The develop
ment Of business so far this month has
been disappointing, and in connection
with the possible peaceful solution of for
eign complications indicate a lower range
of prices for staple nroducts.

amount Of matter to come drifting in out
Of the sky.
The fan of meteoric dust is one Of the
most ancient phenomena with which we
are acquainted. Before the rains de-
seconded or the clouds were formed, before
there were any lands or oceans or rock
ribbed hills upon this globe, when it was
yet Itself a little blazing sun, and through
all the ages Of its development from a
chaotic mass into a beautiful planet, the
steady downfall of meteOrs upon it must
have been going on. I'm those earlier
ages, there il reason to think, the matter
thus added to it may have been far more
considerable in quantity than that which
II now sweeps from the clearer heavens
through which its journey lies.

AN ASIAN CAMPAIGN.
How Russia Proposes to Conquer Eng
land-Gen. GOurka's scheme.
From fhs Mean York Herald

From tn Ne3o York Herald.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-The Rus
SLAMS have at the present moment 100000
men between the Caspian Sea and Herat.
According to the best military estimate,
Russia's position Is practically unassail-
able, and it would be madness for an
Anglo-Indian army Of less than 100000
men to attempt operating in Central Asia
against Russia.
The fOllowngplan of operations in Cen.
tral Asia has been drawn up by Gen.
GourIo, and would have been put into ex-
ecution in the event of war:
First. The principles Of the campaign
would be those Of the Moscow campaign
Of 1872 against Napoleon.
Second. The Russian commander would
strictly avoid any general engagement
until the Anglo-lndIan army was drawn
into The interior at least 800 miles beyond
Candahar.
Third. Three Russian corps d'armee,
each 20, 600 strong, would await the Anglo
Indian advance in strongly defensive
positions echelOned along the Kushk and
the Murghab rivers.
Fourth. Twenty-Five thousand Cossacks
at the first sign OF a British advance
would swarm through Afehauistan,
dlOust Tue NuNlt thuulll pihtlHlU ANNND
Khan as Amer and harass British COM
munications, burning supplies, raiding
round the British army, stamptding camp
followers, etc, but avoiding aEy serious
engagement.
Fifth. A corps of observation Of $4,000
men and $4,000 COssacks 10 be stationed
at Chickishlar, on the Caspian, ready 10
march straight 10 Teheran the instant the
Shah Of Persiashould show the slightest
sign Of aiding the English.
Sixth. When the Anglo-ludian army
has been drawn far into the interior. worn
out boy the difficult country aud worried
night and day bv the Cossacks. IL would
be attacked Simultaneously by the 10000
men forming the three Russian corps
d'armee.
seventh. In case OF British defeat the
Russ an advance would he followed by
the immediate construction of railways,
and made very slowly hut very surely.

Ashphalt far Roads and Stable.

The asphalt payemeuls alluded to, are Al
good roads as eyer saw if they wear well
and can be easily repaired, which no doubt
they may be. The asphaltum comes from
the Island OF Trinidad, where a lake of /
exists, alloriIng an exhaustless supply. In
making the roads, the bel is graded, then
covered with coarse rubbish; broken bricks,
oyster shells, or coarsely broken stones If
they can be obtained in this naturally
s.oneesi country. It is thea lsvelcd by
coat < Of gravel brought By rail aud topTed
with a hard solid surface Of asphatum and
sand mingled while hot, aud at once spread
and rolled down with heavy rollers. 1t
makes road which for all light vehicles is
perfect. presume it would quickly yield
to such a traffic as the streets OF New York,
or the busiest streets here have to stand
The fact is, we might make much greater
use Of asphallum than we do, in all parts
Of the country. The use Of fine sand with
it gives a smooth surface, adapted to sid =
walks aud TO Iaths about the house, while
the use OF coarse sand and gravel gives it
surface fitted Ior COW stables aud stalls,
where the floor must be one upon which
animals are not likely to slip. This
Trinidad asphaltum seems to stand the hot
summer weather better than the material
