Death 10 House Flies.

Chas. Bush IN Sallna Gazette
I have discovered good way to de-
stroy house flies. 1t has the advantage
of cheapness and also preventing dead
flies from falling into everything, as they
do when poison is used. Mix together
equal parts, by measure, of melted rosin
and castor oil. Stir until thoroughly
mixed, which will take only minute.
While yet little warm, spread thin and
evenly on any strong paper that is not
porous.
Lay the paper on tables, shelves or
anv snare places where flies are num-
erous, They will soon cover the paper.
AS soon as they alight they will stick
fast and pull themselves down. When
the papers are covered two or three flies
deep. put in stove and replace with an
other one. Be sure to use no water. The
oil prevents the rosin from hardening,
and has the popularity Of not evaDOrat-
ing. The oil leaves no door when cool.
Ten cents will buy enough to kill all the
flies in a hotel

THE RERIIN CONVENTION.

The work of conference in Berlin,
which has been considering the problems
presented by the Samoan difficulties is
nearly over, and the resu Its are IN sight.
The essential features of the conference
report are these: Malietoan to be restored;
Samoans to rule Samoa; an advisory
council, representing the three signatory
powers, to deal with the king in regard
to all questions affecting the rights of
foreigners; a land court or commission to
investigate and decide disputed real
estate claims, and all treaties heretofore
made between the Samoan government
and other governments to remain in full
force. In the advisory council the United
States and Germany are to have chief in
f1uence, as being chiefly concerned,
while England's representative is to act
only as an umpire III case of disagree
ment. There is no reasonable doubt of
the acceptance Of this convention by the
government of the United States and
England, and as it has been framed di-
rectiy IN the presence OF Bismarck it
may be said to be the probable basis Of
future action Of the three powers that
have most to do with the islands, 1t is
in this connection, pleasant to acknowl-
edge the kind offices of both England
and Germany IN this matter. There has
seemed to be nothing but the most earn

clusion without disturbing the concord

OKLAHcMA'S FIRST EXPORT PRO-
DUCT

This years crop of prairie hay in Okla
homa is estimated to be worth ten mil
lion dollars. Charles NJ. Lane, business
manager of the Oklahoma City Daily
Journal, says that his town expects TO
ship nearly a million dollars worth be-
fore the end of the season. 1t will be
the principal source of income for the
settlers this year, and will furnish en-
ployment for great number of people
who are in Oklahoma but have no
claims. Unless unfavorable freight
rates interfere the prairie hay will liter
ally be the salvation of the new country's
first year.
Oklahoma City is not expecting a
very severe set back" says Mr.. Lane,
but we know that when the adventures
and disreputable classes leave, as they
will sooner or later. and the town settles
down to solid padding, there viii be
less apparent prosperity for time.
These people have been and still are q

they are thinning out and leaving the

faith IN its ultimate greatness and

WAGES DEPEND ON PROFITS.

American Economist.
A protective tariff leaves the ratio, in
which the value of the joint product of
capital and labor shall be divided be-
tween these two factors in production,
entirely to the joint force of the compe-
tition between employers, seeking to
hire men, and the competition between
wage workers seeking to earn wages.
Actual wages always must be the mean
between these two competitions. The
effect of a protective tariff upon wages
is reached through its effect upon prof
its, for it is only as employers can see
their way reasonably clear to make
profits by hiring men that they are
called upon to hire them at all. But
profits are a margin that remains be-
tween cost of production and return, or
price obtained for product. and the price
of any product is in its turn the mean
between two competitions, just as the
rate of wages is, the rate OF wages being
itself only the price of labor de-
termined by the same economic laws as
determine all other prices. Price is the
mean between the competition of all de-
string to buy. AS the employer going
into market with his product has its
price fixed for HIM by a series of compe-
tons to whose law he must submit, if
the price falls relatively to cost of pro-
duction so as to threaten or eliminate his
profits, he must cut down his cost of
production, or stop altogether. Neither
trades unions, dynamite, anarchy,
charity, the single tax, nor even a pro-
tective tariff can directly stay the opera
ton of the law of interest by which en-
ployers cut down wages when profits
fall, or that by which they raise wages
again by their involuntary competitions
when profits rise. But the
Labor Tribune certainly must per-
ceive that such tariff legislation as
would cause in America the manufacture
of $50, 1000, 900 worth of iron and steel,
now being imported, to be promptly fol-
lowed by 800, 900, 900 worth of ships,
so, 900, 900 worth of cottons, as much in
woolens, etc, would be independent fac
tors tending toward competition among
employers for the hire of men and in
surfing rise in wages relatively to the
condition which will prevail if these
things continue to be obtained by i'm
portation or not at all. Protection, like
the fisherman's net, affects directly only
the magnitude Of the catch. not the
terms on which it shall be divided. But
the less the ''catch," the smaller must be
each ones share.

The National Flower,
From the New York sun.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Her
aid, favors the choice of the violet as the
national flower of this country. 1t is a
nice flower, no doubt, and has sweet
fragrance; but of late years it has de-
veloped an unfortunate and fatal disease.
In this latitude it is a kind of blight, a
sort of fungoid, parasitical affection.
The leaves wither, the flowers come to
naught, and the plant itself perishes. So
it has been for two or three years past,
and only few lucky cultivators here
and there succeed in raising violets.
Under such circumstances we suppose
our esteemed contemporary will with
draw its advocacy. Better come back
to the Sun Flower; there is no blight
about that

A snoring room mate or bed fellow is
recommended as an infallible remedy for
insomnia. When the afflicted one

it might prove effective, but to person
of nervous temperament, and most per-

be about like the Irishman's experiment
at learning his horse to live without eat
ing. 1t worked all right, said Pat, until

The BOSTON Herald thinks il sees

The Boston Herald thinks it sees, by a
careful review of the proceedings of the
Presbyterian assembly, that the bottom
is dropping OUT of Calvinism. 1t notes
that in every other sect Calvinism has
''gone by the board and that the only
reason why the Presbyterians cling to it
is because it stands to them in lieu of a
charter of rights. 1t may be true, it
probably is, that the Presbyterians will
revise their creed and that they will
cease ere long to be known as the ''blue"
sect. 1t will not do, however, to under
estimate the great work OF John Calvin
in formulating and presenting Chris
tianity in a systematic form, even if his
doctrines were little severe. The world
was never one whit the worse for the
life of John Calvin, and his works are
not vet dead

dred thousand bonds of % francs each,

says its supporters, would please the

millions necessary to run the company
