THE FLY'S TOILET.
A Naturalist Gives a Description OF How
~ l. Made.

II Il Made
The toilet OF the fly is as carefully
attended TO as that Of the most friyO-
lous OF human insects. With a con-
tempt for the looking-glass, he brushes
himself up and wabbles his little
round head, chuck full OF vanity, where
ever he happens to be. Sometimes
after long day OF dissipation and
flirting, with his six small legs and lit
tie round body all soiled with sirup and
butter and cream, he passes out Of the
dining-room and wings his way 10 the
clean white cord along which the
mOrning-glOnes climb, and in this re-
tired spot, Needless Of the crafty spider
who is practicing gymnastics a few
feet above him, he proceeds to purify
and sweeten himself for the refreshing
repose and soft dreams OF the balmy
summer night, SO necessary to one
who Is expected 20 be early at break
fast. II is a wonderful toilet. Rest
ing himself on his front and middle
legs, he throws his hind logs rapidly
over his body, binding down his frail
wings for an instant with the pressure
then raking them over with back
ward motion, which he repeats until
they are bright and clean. Then he
pushes the two legs along his body
under the wings, giving that queer
structure thorough currying, every
now and then throwing the legs out
and rubbing them together TO remove
what he has collected from his corpor-
al surface. Next he goes to work up
on his van. Resting upon his hind and
middle legs, he raises his two fcrolsgs
and begins vigorous scraping Of head
and shoulders, using his proboscis
every little while 10 push the accmu-
lation from his limbs. At ,lmes he Is
so energetic that II seems as II he were
trying TO pull his head OF, but no fly
ever committed suicide. some OF his
motions very much resemble pussy at
her toilet. II Is plain. even to the
naked eye, that he does his work thor
Oughly, for when he is finished
he looks like new hy, 30 clean
and neat has he made himself with
In a few minutes. The white cord
is dehled, but hoppy is himself again
and he bids the morning glories very
good-erening. Church Union.

"RoBERT WmoUs"
Mr.. Wilson turned this romaykablo
letter over to the court, the judge OF
which took immediate steps to have
the man apprehonded and brought to
justice. But he was too late. In an
swer TO his letter directed TO the county
judge Of the town from which the
murderer Of old Corbin had dated his
confession, he received brief epistle
stating that Wilgus had committed SUI
icide some weeks before and was there
fore beyond the reach or jurisdiction
OF all earthly cou~'s and ju9ccs.
There Is little more TO add. Old Cor
bins property reverted TO the county
in which 1t was situated. The farm
was leased out until 1t was all cleared
up and put in ine state of cultiva-
tion and was then made the county
poor farm. IL was while was VISIT
ing there recently that Mr. White, the
superintendent, related to me the story
OF old Corbin's death. On my return
to the county seat town l went TO the
courthouse and searched among the
old probate records until found the
final report OF Archibald Wilson as ad-
Of the estate OF James Cor
bin. In this was filed the strange let
ter already given, and which solved
the mystery Of old Corbin's life and
death. Ed. X. PRITCHARD.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
What stylish Women VIII Wear During
the Coming Season.

MhNN Ntliish women VIII wear bufthk
the Coming season.
Syrian velvet in two tones, like shot
silk, is made up with faille Francaise
and Victoria silk.
Tailor-made bodices, English red
ingotes, much cut away at the hips,
over Louis XIV. waistcoats. elegantly
decorated, and French polonaises, ar.
tistically draped and adjusted, divide
favor almost evenly this season.
Dressy house jackets Of almond-col-
ored or Roman-red camers hair, bor-
dered with cashmere bands in finely
wrought palm and arabesquc designs
in gold, silver and n mingling Of bright
hues, are imported. These are made
to appear loose, yet are on fitted
lining with darts and side forms ele-
gantly shaped TO the figure.
Short visiting. wraps and small
visites, with cape sleeves that reach to
the elbow only, are made OF black
Lyons velvet. rich-colored velvets, and
also magnificent Oriental broche ma
terials with gold threads interviewer.
These are decorated with Persian
lambskin, and also, for later wear,
with many kinds Of fur, with muff and
French toque to match.
The new hussar coat is very stylish,
with its black silk passemonteries
fecked with gold on the jacket fabric
OF deep blue or Russian-green cloth.
Sometimes they are decorated with
uiguilleties, or tags, with gold or silver
points. The peculiar style Of these
military coats consists in the superb tit
of the shoulders, the majority OF them
being slightly wadded.
Among the new suitings are a num-
Der Of rough shaggy tweeds, which
are favored by those who like ultra
English effects in gowning. Preference,
however. certainly lies on the side Of
fine, soft-surfaced woolens, plain.
striped and plaided. Most OF the
draped cloth skirts are made all in one
piece, with the selvages at the belt and
hem, the drapery cunningly lifted hoce
and there 10 break the too great
severity of style. The bodice is still
ike tailor habit in appearance, be-
ing pressed and fitted 10 look as II
nodded ON the figure.
COlored linen collars and cuffs OF the
finest quality are worn abroad with
these stylish costumes. and some OF
the linen sets are exceeding neat and
pretty. The color should be carefully
selected so as 10 set of that Of the
dress, and the dainty little French
''show handkerchieis' should match
the collar and cuffs in color. Trihcs
like these make very great difference
in the appearance, and little atten-
tion TO simple details Ia well repaid.
The linen Ht the throat and wrists, the
natty kerchici, the perfectly fitting
glove. the carefully selected shoe and
hose, all serve to stamp the wearer as
woman Of culture and refinement. -.

his efforts towards making q farm.
lie. however, was no idler; and when
not engaged in working his little
truck-patch was busy with his traps,
or, with gun and dogs, roamed the
woods in search OF game. And so
the years went by; the country
settling up until cultivated farms sur
rounded Corbin on every side.
He had closer noighbors and more OF
them, but beyond exchanging the
barest ciyilities when he met them
old Corbin went on his way ana about
his own affairs in n manner that
plainly showed he wanted to be let
alone.
Naturally enough such conduct ex-
cited the wonder OF the settlers, and In
time, their distrust and suspicion. With
them, for man to DO unsocial was
OF itself II crime, and as old Corbin
steadily refused their advances 10 be
friendly and neighborly, their suspi-
ciOns soon became settled into convic-
tions that there was something wrong
with him. To this general impression
there was one single exception. Uncle
Archibald Wilson always had good
word TO say for old Corbin. Uncle
Archie, as he was called, was one of
those kind-hearted old men who never
speak Ill OF any one He seemed TO be
always full OF sympathy for any Of his
feuOw-creatures when IN was spoken
OF them in his presence. He used 10
frankly admit that he knew no more OF
Corbin's history than did any OF his
neighbors. ''But, " he would say, "it's
plain 20 my mind that he's had trouble
an heap OF il; so don't let's be too
harsh on him. lie amt done any OF
rs any harm; nor amt likely TO; an
not knowing why he don't want TO be
sociable an friendly, we've no right TO
judge him as a bad man."
But one day there came a sensa-
tion TO the community. Old Corbin
was dead. A party OF hunters had
stopped at bis cabin and made the hor.
rible discovery that the old fellow had
evidently been murdered On the
floor Of his little cabin his body was
found cold and stark and with several
ghastly knife wounds in the region OF
the heart, any one Of which would
have caused death There were also
evidences Of a terrible struggle having
taken place; the few articles Of
furniture In the room showing that the

and therefore n character the discus
sion of which was always a ready and
interesting topic among the country
folks far and near; of these there were.
among the older people, those who
had known old Corbin for twenty years,
and yet they really knew no more about
him than did the most recent new
conner in the neighborhood. Some
twenty years had he lived alone in the
little cabin on the bluffs. Indeed. he
was one Of the pioneer settlers OF the
