IL for forty-eight hours you can keep
every drop Of liquid from room the
flies In 1t will leave it. But the probi-
bition is absolute. "A drop of dew on a
rose leaf, still more the CONCEALED breath
on windowpane, gives quite as much
fluid rs the thirsty little flv will ask for.
But good house. keeper will remember
this rule 90 rs never to leave pitcher
of water uncovered in a room where she
means to place guest. And she will
carefully cover any other cup, mug,
glass or other vessel which contains liq-
aids.
Observe, next, that the fly is tropical
insect, dislikes cold and cannot bear 1t
long. For the same reason, probably,
he is disconnected, even on warm day,
by draught of air. DR.. Franklin, you
will remember, proved that man
might be killed, AS if frozen to death
by swift draught of air, even at tenn
perature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. For
practical purposes the fly knows this as
well rs DIR. Franklin did. So soon as
your patient leaves room, open The
windows enough to start all dradghts
possible. Fave paper weight sin abund-
ance to keep books, handkerchiefs or all
other movables in place, that no one
NAV have an excuse for closing the win
dows.
The old New England housekeeper
supposes that flies dislike darkness, and
the old treatment of summer rooms is to
keep them dark when they are not occu-
pied by men, women nr children. But
| think this Is an error. The fly, in
darkness, simply reeedes-into MS dens
and caves and holes of the earth. So
soon as the light comes he is out again,
seeking his prey. Ii may be observed,
also, that the apparent reason why he
annoys your patient as he does, In the
early morning when no one else is
awake OF Wauts W ''''' nv
has been chilled at night and now seeks
the warmth of the pillow or the cheek.
He is not at that moment seeking food.
Ii you have been careless enough to per-
init any flies to sleep in the room with
your patient, you can draw them to an
other corner by lighting one or two kerr
osene lamps, with such an arrangement,
for instance, as every oil stove gives.
You should not have had any fly in
the bed room. Nor would you if the
whole house had been kept in proper
condition. If the esta blshment is large,
the superintendent, if intelligent, will
certainly detail competent person

a Gallo Genius.

The laws regulating the transmission
of mail between countries embraced i'll
the postal union have heretofore ex-
cluded packages exceeding eighteen
inches, or forty-five centimeters, in
length, but will hereafter admit pack
ages of about twenty-seven inches, or
seventy centimeters, in length. The
way the change came about is explained
in a circular just received at the post
Office from the superintendent of for
eign mails. A French publisher. wish
ing to send to his subscribers fashion
plates, about seventy centimeters in
length, was told that they could not
be received in the forei-n mail. Seek
ing to keep his engagements with his
patrons, however, he cast about for
some way to relieve his difficulty, and
knowing that packages not exceeding
%forty-fve centimeters, or eighteen
inches, in length would be received,
hit. upon the following eXpedient: By
making a paper box in the shape of n
cube, having each of the lines of its
squares just forty-ive centimeters in
length he could place his fashion plate
roll within the box, the roll being
placed ~diagonally touching the bottom
and top of the box. A great number
of paper boxes eighteen inches square
threatening to cram the French mail
bags to bursting, the government de-
termined to take the seventy-centime-
ters-long rolls instead of the boxes. ask
ing the other countries in the union to
receive these rolls, until an interna-
tional congress can change the laws
relating to the length of parcels. The
change contemplated, and which the
United States foreign mail Office has
now sanctioned, permits the mailing of
rolls that can be contained in cubes,
the sides of which do not exceed forty
five centimeters or eighteen inches in
length.-St. Louis Republican.

President Tyler's Son.

One OF the most striking figures seen
in Washington is the son OF ex-Presi-
dent Tyler. He is now an old man.
He is bent with weight of years. His
long, white, patriarchal beard sweeps
down from his venerable face. nearly
covering his broad breast. He wears
a soft hat slouched Well down over his
deeply-set eyes, and is dressed general
ly in a careless suit of badly cut black.
He is rarely noticed, and walks the
street to most people unknown. Yet
IN his day he was one of the GREAT
beaus of Washington. He was con
sidered one of the handsomest men
who ever graced the society of Wash
ingtOn. When his father was presi-
dent he was the leader amono the
young men who went in Washin ptop
society. He was tail then. stra oht 40
an arrow, and with a most magnificent
persence, if one can judge from the
glowing tales of his contemporaries.
He used to wear a long, shaggy coat
trimmed with Astrakhan fur. which
was a rarity. When he walked the
avenue swinging his cane, twirling his
brown mustache, with his fur coat
thrown back, he was hailed as the hero
OF his time. Women bowed down and
worshiped before him, and the number
OF his conquests was legion. To-day he

AFTER Tie GALL.


She counts her conques.s all as naught
Before this GROWING one
The love that seemed to come unsought,
Like splendors of the sun;
And every word he spoke tonight
Is craven on her brain
In letters of auroral light,
Forever to remain.
She lays her lips upon the hands
His fervent lips have kissed;
And DER her clear eyes she stands
There comes a happy mist.
What was her charm in form or face
O'er others at the ball
That he should do her such a grace
AS choose her mid them ALA
She casts her shining silks aside,
And robes her for her rest;
Her only dream till morning tide,
'He loves me-loves me best"
o virgin faith! o face so sweet?
O heart that pulses true!
Will any mans heart ever beat
As Loyalty for you?
He leaves the ball, but not for rest,
And not for faithful dream;
Life needs, it seems, another zest
Where Lais reigns supreme.
Fill higher the beaker with champagne,
And crown the board with flow'rs;
A husband may not know again
Such gay bohemian hours.
Not his the love that lives for aye,
Not his the loyal troth;
His passion lasts a summer day,
He swears a traitors oath.
So take the mortal mid the strife
or hymeneal plans,
That love is all a woman's life,
And only half a mans.

AmcricaniylnR Canada.


A curious sort of complaint comes
from the dominion press. 1t notices
the progress in Canada of a quiet species
of propagandism, whose effect will be to
cause American ideas to take root and
assume predominance there. The most
effective means in furthering that as
similation between the United States
and Canada which is unquestionably
going forward is said to be found in one
Of the features Of modern journalism.
All the newspapers Of the provinces,
excepting only such as are published in
the larger centers Of population, are
made up OIL the American plan. That
is to say, the publishers Of these smaller
papers, unable to provide out Of their
own resources sufficient original matter
of good quality, have ecourse to the
syndicate plan. They purchase from
some company engaged in the business
the right to use a certain quantity of
prepared matter, to be supplied TO no
other paper within the field Of competi-
ton. This matter is acceptable to the
public, it increases the attractivcness Of
the paper, and it is readily contracted
for by the publisher. Now this syndi-
cate system is distinctively American.
The matter furnished comes almost
entirely from American sources, and it
deals with American topics and is full
Of American ideas. Column upon
column, it is said, Of the papers of
Kingston. Toronto, and other minor
Canadian cities. is filed with American
biography, history and general litera-
ture. The effect Of this is naturally to
direct the Canadian mind to the con
temptation Of American affairs, and to
familiarize it with the American system.
England becomes, as far as the average
reader is concerned, a remote and pract-
ically unknown land. The effect Of it
all, says the Montreal Witness, must be
to make Canada American. There is a
good deal of force in the argument. The
general ideas of men are little influenced
by striking articles or forceful leaders
in comparison with the educative work
of the commonplace affairs which con
stitute their daily study and the bulk of
their information. 1t is easy to believe
that a practical revolution may, in time,
be accomplished by this modest method.
There can be nc quarrel with it on this
side of the line. 1t is only helping to
fulfill a manifest destiny. The future
of the United States and Canada should
be one. Whatever helps to bring that
about is doing good work. And there
could be no better preparation for the
doing away with those prejudices and
selfish notions which still keep these
peoples apart than the quiet, unob-
~trusive but incessant missionary, work
Of the multitude of minor newspapers.
Let the propaganda go forward, to its
legitimate end Of a continental union OF
peoples already one in all essentials
