DEALING IN DRIED FLIES.
A Queer Business in New York That
Reaches to Mexico.

"A Nuecr BUSINESS IN new YOrk Ihae
Reaches to Mexico.
II import anything under the sun that I
can see money ill.," said down town COM
mission merchant in answer to reporter
the other day.
bought in anything curious lately?"
asked the inquisitive visitor.
swell, no bric-a-brac or curiosities Of
that Sort I deal in the plain, everyday,
homeiy products of nature, but l think l
have something here which will surprise
you for all that. What do you say to a
box as big as bale of hay, filed with the
compressed bodies of dried fies?"
"flles" exclaimed the reporter. "What
kind? Spanish flies?"
mot particularly Spanish, just Spanish
American. They're from Mexico, and in
clude any kind of fly that flies, and all
kinds OF flies that fly, I should say. James"
to boy, bring a scoopful of those dried
flies for this young man to write about"
James went with a grin to bale in the
warehouse behind the office, and came back
with shining brass scoop running over
with thin dry fiat things which on inspec-
ton proved to be flies of all sizes and col
ors, with sediment Of broken wings and
detache1!cgs.
''What are they for?" asked the reporter
"People buy them to feed their singing
birds. / sell them retail to the dealers,
who tell me they are especially good for
some birds at any time and for others at
certain times of the year."
81 should say they would prove pretty
expensive diet. Just think of the time
and labor spent in catching SO many fliesp'
"You forget, young man, that Mexican
T., e., ,+r IL r
is about as valuable as that of sitting
hen. Flies are thicker, too, in the tropical
valleys of Mexico than you have any idea
something like mosquitoes in a swamp
Or shall we say, as thick as blanks in
lottery?
"Well," continued the speaker, "the
Mexican Indian who can no longer sleep in
his hut on account of the swarms of flies
attracted by the filth which accumulates
about his front door sometimes is stung
into desire for revenge on his enemies.
Revenge is sweet, and sweeter if there is
any money in it, He goes to the woods
and collects number of green twigs of
certain tree. These he lays in pile on the
floor of his hut, with some dry twigs I'M
der them. Then from another tree he gets
gum, which he boils into thin sirup
and spreads on the walls of his hut. The
flies are attracted by it's fragrant and far
reaching odor They gather to feed on it.
When the hut is black with them the In
dian sets fire to the twigs on the floor and
closes the apertures from the outside. The
twigs emit an aromatic smoke which kills
the flies, and they fall to the floor in thou
sands. Then the natives wife dries them
while he goes to sleep again. New York

A Cucumber in a Bottle.

Henry A. Bower, of Adams township,
hamilton county, in 1854 slipped small
cucumber in a glass bottle, and hepermltted
the vine to furnish nourishment until the
cucumber had filled the available space in
side the bottle. The vine was then clipped
OFF, the bottle was filled with alcohol and
carefully sealed. The cucumber still re-
tains it's original appearance, and it looks
Is perfect as it did when bottled up thirty

How repnvson Began to Write.

There is in the possession of an intimate
friend of Lord Tennyson letter giving an
account Of the manner in which the poet
laureate first essayed to make poetry One
day, when about che age of sixteen, he was
, too i'll to go to church, and his brother
suggested he should employ his spare time
in trying to write poem. Tie boy did so,
and discovered for the first time bis capae-
tty for poetical expression. -Bookman.

MY HORSE.

Ny horse sometimes think of; where is he?
Companion in the war for many day,
His graceful, glossy TANKS of ruby bay,
His delicate head. with eyes that beamed on me
Good naturally and friendly, or in plea?
Fleet hmbed and full of courage for the fray,
Enduring in the march, though long the
way;
Through hunger. dust and thirst; where may
he be?
doubt he lives. Myself am somewhat gray,
And man has twice the travel of horse.
I'm glad think of him without remorse,
For kindly was he used in service long.
I'm glad we parted friends; heard his
neigh
Over the peach field, like farewell song!

SOME WERE LEFT OUT.
The Strike at Shoenberger's Mills
Declared Off by the Men.
MANY OF THEIR PLACES FILLED.
Imported GlasSwOrkers Stopped When
Landing at New York
NEWS OF THE GREAT LABOR WORLD

The strike at Shoenberger's mills has
been declared off by the men and the works
hereafter will be run independent of the
malcamated Association. Monday night,
mt a full meeting, il was decided to call the
strike of and open up the works, as they
term it, Manager Henderson had antici-
psted the action OF the men and waited for
Them until 10 O'Clock when he be-
came tired and went home. The
men were so jubiIant over the action
of the meeting that some of them stopped
at Manager Henderson's house on their way
home to let him know what had happened.
Yesterday morning the committee appointed
at the general meeting came TO Manager
Henderson and officially announced the
matter. 1t was no surprise to either Mr..
Henderson or the firm as they had been e1-
pecting this to happen for some days.
As result of this action there was gen.
eral stampede by the men to secure their
old positions Not a few of them were
disappointed-new men filling the place
where they formerly worked. The firm is
positive in the statement that none of the
new men filling their positions acceptably
will be removed for the old men. One
heater, in particular, came for his former
position and was decidedly put out when in
formed that it had been filled by very
good man. He was told that there might be
some vacancy which he could fill on the
night turn. He went away very disconso-
late, saying that he did not propose to take
q lower position than he had held before.
There is one thing can say about this
strike" said Manager Henderson, land that
is it was conducted in very orderly man
ner told the firm when it proposed plac-
ing officers on guard that it would not be
necessary. No one was interfered with and
men could come and go as they pleased 1t
was very foolhardy strike, taking every
Thing into consideration. l went among the
men and told them it would be the mistake
of their lifetime if they would go out, but
their only answer was, principle. A great
number of the men who worked here will
have to go elsewhere for positions for the
new men have taken their places"
One of the strikers who was applying for
work said: ''It was the most complicated
strike / ever heard of 1 don't think if you
were TO talk for six years you could convey
TO me an intelligent reason why we came
out. 1 have grown up in this mill and can
say that there is not a firm in the country
which treats its employees as well as Shoen-
berger & Co."

dose felt better, and in q few moments
took another dose which entirely relieved
