A Much Dreaded Fly.

The man eating fly of Central Amer.
lca inhabits the low lying coast regions,
and is much dreaded by the natives for
the fearful results which follow its
sting. Naturalists call it Lucilis homi.
nivora. The average specimen is about
third of an inch long. 1t has big
head. with the eyes on top. Its cheeks
are golden yellow, its abdomen dark
blue with purple bands, its legs black.
its wings unusually big. and they pro-
duce a continuous and loud buzzing
when in motion.
The person bitten by this fly gets .
disease called myiasis. 1t generally be-
gins with an itching of the nose, then
that organ swells and bleeds; next it be-
comes liberated. and in these ulcers
may be found the larv@ of the fly. The
whole face becomes swollen, erysipelas
sets in, followed by meningitis and
death. One man knew shot himself
after he had been bitten rather than
face the tortures he knew were certain.
Cure is difficult. Simultaneous injec-
tons of chloroform sometimes do good,
but as often fail. One man heard Of

Two great gatherings Of interest to
many people in Reynoldsville are the
Presbyterian General Assembly and the
Methodist Episcopal General Confer
ence. The former begins its session at
Portland, Oregon, tomorrow and the
latter has been in session at Omaha.
Neb., since May 2nd. These great gath
erings of christian workers represent a
very large constituency of some of the
best people of our land. In each of
these questions of vital interest are to
be considered You will find in our
columns late reports OF these conven-
tions and whether you are Methodist or
Presbyterian in faith, these will be Of
interest to you. 1t is too soon now to
comment upon the result of these meet

hoped they may appear to be to the
advantage OF the denominations repre-
sented and the general welfare of all

EOR ASSEMBLY,
DOR ASSEMBLY,

That nothing succeeds like success, =
is cruel, heartless saying, fit only to
be quoted in defense of what were other
wise indefensible. Failure, honorably
met and nobly borne, is a thousand times
better than the success that is gained
through fraud, double dealings, or any of
the arts of the dishonest man. Better,
by far, that a man should live in obscur-
ity all his days than that he should win
the highest success that can come to him
who trades in truth to the hurt of his
neighbors. The money-making spirit
has so taken possession of a large share
of American people that they will defend
or excuse almost any act not openly
criminal that enriches the actor.-Ex.

What is the difference between Mig
gardliness and extravagance? Two men
may have the same income and expend
the same sums and one be extravagant
and the other parsimonious. So with
town, state or national affairs, the
question Of expenditures is not one Of
amount but one of necessity and wisdom.
That man is niggaid and spendthrift
who stints his family in providing the
necessaries Of life and squanders his
income in personal indulgence. So
congress may be at the same time par
s,monious and eXtravagant. The ques-
tion the voter should ask of that man or
party which asks his suffrage is not how
much will you favor as a sum total of
appropriation, but for what purpose are
you in favor of voting money. Scruti-
nize not the footing at the bottom Of
the page as you study appropriation
bills, but the items of the bill.
The last congress was severely criti-
cised because of its large expenditures.
II seems from present indications that
the present session is also to make
unusually large appropriations. Yet
from all the politicians during cam
paign we hear much about economy
Let our government be run economi-
cally, let official extravaganza cease
let business methods prevail. But how?
Surely not by the voter accepting every
partisan cry of economy that is raised
and looking only at the sum total of
appropriations: but by each citizen
informing himself concerning the nec-
essity and wisdom of the various ex-
penditures. The intelligent voter is
not the man who takes the mere ''say
so" of the political stump speaker or
party paper, but the man who investi-
gates, meditates and votes when he
votes, because he knows what he wants
and where and from whom to get it,.
What we desire surely, as citizens, is
neither parsimony nor extravaganza.

Senator German made very polite
and able speech in the Senate few days
since. The question was on the passage
Of the naval appropriation bill. The
Maryland leader, who aspires to head
the next Democratic National ticket,
expressed himself as not in sympathy
with the Holman theories and plans,
but heartily in favor Of such appropria-
tions as were demanded by the growth
and progress Of the country. He be-
lieved, he said, in the encouragement
and fostering of American industries.
He earnestly favored sufficient appropri-
alton for the rebuilding of the American
Navy. This utterance Of Senator Cor
man will strengthen the already strong
hold he has on the Democracy and the
people Of the country at large. Strang-
or things, by far, have happened than
would occur II Mr.. German is accepted
by his party IA their leader in the COM
ing presidential campaign.

All Roman Catholic people as well as
people Of the various Protestant denomi-
nations are Interested in the recent
utterance of the Vatican in regard to
the plan Of education put in practice by
Archbishop ireland. A large number
OF our American people are Catholics,
and among them are found many of the
most intelligent and liberal minded of
our citizens. Any movement which is
to effect change in the methods of
education approved by the officers of
this church is an important one. 1t is
claimed by high officials OF the church,
however, that the recent letter from
the Holy See will not change the DEGREES
of the council of Baltimore. But the
views of leading prelates differ some
what as to the proper Interpretation Of
the Pope's letter. Let us hope that
aside from all other issues involved
such action has been and will be taken
as shall lead ultimately to the perfect
accord of the Catholic church and our
public school system.
