The precious metal has been employed
both externally and internally, in the
metallic state, in solution and by SYM
pathy, for great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to, for over 1000 years. The
train of thought which led the ancients
to employ this highly priced material
can be well told in the quaint language
of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann BOerhaave; writing
about 1925, he says: "The alchemists
will have this metal contain know not
what radical balm of life capable Of re-
storing health and continuing it to the
longest period.
"What led the early physicians to
imagine such wonderful virtue in gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must be
conveyed thereby into the body; gold,
for instance, is not capable of being de-
stroyed; hence they concluded it must
be very proper to preserve animal sub
stances and save them from putrefac-
ton, which is d method of reasoning
very much like that of some fanciful
physicians who sought for an assuaging
remedy in the blood of an ass ear by
reason the ass is a very calm beast!-
Professor H. Darlington Bolton in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

A Laughable Superstition.

ga curious illustration of the value Of
superstitions, said Mr.. Kunz, the dia-
mond expert for Tiffany & Co., twas
afforded the other day by lady who
brought a set Of opals here for the pur-
pose of selling them. She felt obliged
to part with them on account of series
of misfortunes in her family which she
feared were attributable to the gems,
so VIGOROUSLY unlucky. On examining
them found that they were merely i'm
itations. a few weeks ago had in my
possession three seashells which had
been transformed into opal. Their orig
inal limy material had been dissolved
out of the rock by which they were in
closed, and the precious substance was
deposited by water in place of the lime,
retaining the form Of the shells. A
graduate of Harvard college bought the
curiosity and presented it TO that insti-
tuition. New York Sun.

FLIES AND HUMAN BEINGS.
War to the Death Has Been Waged for
Centuries.

War to the Death Has Been Waged for
Centuries.
1t is not generally known, except by
those familiar with the literature of the
Fourteenth century, that the month Of
August is dedicated to Beelzebub, the
Interpretation of his name being Father
of Flies. Flies appear earlier in the
season, but it is in August that they
take possession, says writer IN the
New York Evening Sun. Bacon quotes
King James as saying, Have | not
three kingdoms for you to expatiate in,
and you must needs fly in my eye?" So
it seems flies occupy the earth. There
Is but one known spot where flies are
not found. That is Mount Carina, in
Gambia, where honey is produced SO
abhOrrent to flies that they avoid the
place. The estimate Of Spencer's mag
ination has been measured by his apos-
trophe to the silver winged possessOrs
of the empire of the air. Flies, in fact,
have no sense. There is scarcely an
insect that has not at times been trained
or shown intelligence. There is no such
record of the fly.
The peculiarities of his structure, his
machinery of locOmotion, his uncon-
seriousness of the laws of gravity have
been of interest both to scientists and
poets. Theodore Tilton's well known
ode to the fly has been set to music, and
is ON countless lips in kindergartens and
nurseries. OF this nothing is owing 70
the fly himself.
The enmity between man and flies Is
historic, but the warfare continued
through long ages is feeble, though I'M
renting. The Cape Colonists, it is re-
lated by James Payn, dip long wisps Of
straw in milk and hang them up. When
the flies have settled down on them they
draw sack over the wisps. They often
bag in this manner as much as a bushel
of flies in day. The fashion of poison
ing flies with fiypaper has gone out, the
paper being too easily dissolved into q
summer drink for ones enemies.
The flies, moreover, had an uncOmfor-
table habit of leaving their corpses on
the dishes and tablecloth. Farmers
wives pleasantly lure the fly into glass
cisterns of sweetened waters, where il
can die like rose in aromatic pain. The
latest method of fly catching is by means
of pitch coated papers. Lured by the
resinous odor the fly lights. Sheets OF
this paper, looking like huckleberry
tarts, are shown in druggists windows.
But while the fly sticks to the paper the
paper sticks to everything else, and I'm.
suspecting members of the family ars
likely to serve as walking morgue fol

Ex-AttorneyGeneral Wayne Nc
Veagh, who was in Garfield's Cabi-
net, has written a letter in which
he announces that he will vote for
Cleveland on the ground that the
Republican party no longer typifies
honest government and economy.
The Republicans expect to carry
New York State by a good major
ity. They have made a canvass of
the State and think they have the
advantage of the Democrats in the
State above the city line by about
$4,000. Mr.. Harrison's net plu-
ralities above this line were IS, 4O4
in 1888. Mr.. Cleveland's net plu-
ralities below the city line, includ-
ing New York, Kings, Queens and
Richmond counties, were 1908.
