Lively Flv Pa,,er..

Unfortunately we are all familiar with
the sticky fly paper. which. despite its
nastiness and horrible appearance when
covered with its victims, holds its own
purely by its undonbted efficacy in rid
ing room Of these most annoying pests.
One households experiences with this
very heroic remedy were most amusing.
Good gracious! what is the matter
with that paper?" said ''Auntie." jump
ing up suddenly from her chair us the
family were seated at luncheon and
pointing to piece of fly paper that was
circling wildly around in the middle Of
the room. apparently blowing this way
and that in the most lively breeze, there
being not particle Of wind stirring.
A dash at the lively sheet on the part
of one of the children explained the
mystery-underneath it and quite con-
cealed by its size was tiny Maltese
kitten. who was, too astonished at her
predicarhent even to new; but her peo-
testations were loud and vehement when
they tried to pull off the firmly attached
fly paper. and her situation for day
or two was most uncomfortable despite
her repeated cleanings, as she stuck to
the floor whenever she went to sleep
and had to be "'unglued" every time

All but One.

A shipload of fine horses was cdfi-
signed from Calcutta to Bombay, under
the charge of a very honest but sonle-
what du!! agent in the employ Of an East
India company While the horses were
being landed at the slip. they managed
to break away from the men in charge,
and ran like wild: animals through the.

Tie agent caught one Of them. and,
mounting him. gave chase. After sew
eral hours OF exciting work, with the
help Of his tlen. he had captured all but
one of the horses. us he counted them.
Finally lie made his reluctant way to
the superintendents office to give an ac-
count of the matter The superintend-
ent came to the door and listened to the
story:
"And yon say there were 1874 horses in.
and you have eighty of them in the
company's stables and forty-three baEk

''Yes. SIT, all safe but one. and we
cannot find him anywhere.

The Tomato Season

The season of the tomato is short, yet
being essentially a plant of the tropics.
it can not be lipened often in England.
except under glass. AS hot house
plant, however, it is widely used there,
certain varieties developing special adap-
tation to these conditions. In the short
but fervent summer in New England, on
the contrary. it finds itself quite at home.
Though the plant like many others of
tropical origin is highly susceptible to
injury from frost, the seeds are very
hardy, sustaining no harm from remain
ing in the ground throughout winters.
If left to come up of themselves they
do so freely from such accidental plant
ings Of the previous season. and here in
Massachusetts will begin to ripen fruit
about the last of August, while plants
which are started early in the hot bed or
window box will begin nearly month
sooner. A large field of tomatoes in the
vicinity Of Boston commenced ripening
fruit one summer about the 10th of July,
at which time they brought twelve dol
lars per bushel in the markell Boston

Tho Sunday Breakfast,

Among the many practical methods
devised by kindly Christian people to
reach and help the poor and criminal
classes. one of the most effective is the
Sunday breakfast in Philadelphia.
At 9 o'clock every Sunday morning a
room is opened in one of the most de-
graded quarters of the city within easy
reach of sailors, elnigrants and that un-
numbered class who are homeless and
hungry.
The room is clean and warm, a pleas
ant refuge in stormy weather. The ta-
BILE is set, and each man or woman who
enters. no matter how filthy or degraded,
is heartily welcomed. The breakfast
consists Of two substantial sandwiches
aud a cup of strong hot coffee.
After the meal is over there is music,
and one or two hymns are sung. while
the hosts-men and women Of all sects-
go quietly about among their guests and
try to find out the special misery in their
lives, and to make them their friends

Seeds Used for Ornaments.

: The seed called Jobs tears is used in
Siam and by the Naga and other Assam
tribes in the construction of earrings and
other simple and elegant articles of per-
sonal adornment. Necklaces of these
seeds are frequently worn, and baskets
and other ornamental articles are oc-
casionally decorated with them, especial
ly those made in Nepal. The Angame
Nagas construct elegant earrings in
which u rosette of these seeds surrounds
greenish beetle wing. These grains
seem to stand good chance of coming
into more general use in Europe in the
construction of artificial flowers, laces,
bugle trimmings and other srch pur-
poses for which glass beads are now used,
and possibly also in Catholic countries
for the manufacture of rosaries.-Cham-

How. Where and When Accidents Occur.
To the question as to when, where.
and how accidents occur, the only gem
eral answer that can be given is: When
they are least expected The CONNER
cial traveller who insures because he is,
exposed to danger while on the rail
draws indemnity for an injury received
while winding clock. The dentist
who endeavors to protect himself agaiqst
possible personal injury while using His
tools is disabled by cinder in his eye.
It is to be noted, however, that more ac-3
cidents in proportion to population oc-5
cur III the south. the southwest and the
west than in the northern, the middle

sidewalks, and midsummer, with its.
great variety Of outdoor occupations,
are especially prolific of accidents
