MEXICAN DRIED FLIES.
How the Indian Takes Sweet Revenge o
His Winged TOrmentOr.

How the Indian Takes Sweet Revenge on
His Winged Tormentor.
NO matter what it may be, if In ar
ticle brings a fair price / deal in it,"
said a commission merchant to a
writer in the Waverly Magazine. MY
last venture consists of dried flies, just
common flies which come from Mexico.
People buy them for their singing
birds. l sell them retail to the deal
ers. Flies are plentiful in the tropical
valleys and the time of the Mexican
Indian is not particularly valuable.
When he can n longer sleep in his hut
on account of the swarms of flies at
:tracted by the filth which accumufates
about his front door he sometimes is
stung into a 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 a num-
Der of green twigs of a certain tree.
These he lays in a pile on the floor of
his hut, with some dry twigs under
them. Then from another tree he gets
a gum which he boils into a thin
strip 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 Indian 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 thousands. Then the natives
wife dries them while he goes to sleep
again.

A MINK
The Mysterious Close of the Life of q
Cruel Animal.

The Mysterious Close of the Life of q
Cruel Animal.
For a couple of months I have been
trying to solve the problem of a dead
mink I found lying in my barr on my
return home. The mink had been dead
but a short time, and had no wounds
upon it except at the throat where
two small holes had let out it's life
blood. How it came to this end has
troubled me ever since, says a cor
respondent of Forest and Stream.
There were no cats in the barn, and
the rats ''instinctively had left it, as
well, during my absence from home. I
at length concluded that two male
minks must have had a quarrel in the
barn and one had become a victim of
the fight.
The barn is close to the dam of one
of my ponds, and had been frequented
by minks in pursuit of the chickens
which sometimes took up a nights
lodging in it. But as they were re-
moved to other quarters the minks
must have had the building all to
themselves. l skinned the body. which
could not have been dead many hours,
and the marks in the throat showed
that only n firm and deadly grip had
been taken. 1t is interesting to know
that these cruel beasts have no bowels
of compassion even for each other.

DUTY - COD AND F.1li2.

An Athletic Prelate Who Declined 30 st'ei-
ter Behind the Cloth.
The late Bishop Selwyn, Of New lea
land and Melanesia, was well known
during his university days at Oxford
as a devotee of the noble art of self
defense, says the Washington News.
He incurred a great deal of luminosity
from a certain section in New Zealand,
owing to his sympathy with the Maoris
during the war. One day he was asked
bv a rough in one of the back streets
of Auckland if he was the ''bishop who
backed up the Maoris." Receiving a
reply in the affirmative, the rough, with
a s'take that, then!" struck his lordship
in the face.
"My friend" said the bishop, my
Bible teaches me that if a man smlte
thee on one cheek turn him the other"
and he turned his head the other way.
His assailant, slightly bewildered,
struck him again.
"Now," said his lordship, "having
done my duty to God, I will do my duty
to man." and, taking off his coat and
hat, he gave the anti-Maori champion
a most scientific thrashing.
On another occasion he was going
down the river Walkato with a Maori,
when the latter, who was very lazy,
left off padding the canoe, at the same
time mutttering that if Selwyn were
not a bishop he would-well, Ego for
him" In a moment the bishop told
the man to turn the canoe ashore,
where, stripping himself of everything
episcopal, he said, pointing to the
1.-THE bishop lies there; the man is
here. I am quite ready come on"
The Maori did not ''come on" how
ever, but quietly resumed his work
without another murmur.

Antiquity of Supplied Choirs.

Supplied choirs, wearing the vest
ment now used under that NAME, date
back to about the eleventh century,
when that particular modification of
the ancient alb and rochet was intro
duced and the name was also invented.
At that time it was found awkward to
put on the old narrow sleeved vest
ments over the furred dresses which
the ~dignitaries began to wear to pro-
tect themselves against the cold and
drafty churches; so the garment was
made looser and the sleeves widened
into the present well-known shape to
get rid of that difficulty, and the name
of sur pelisse (that which is worn over
a fur dress) was given to the altered
Vestment.

Be News To-day.

And All This Argues Well in Many Differ
ent Ways, Does the Children Good
and Doesn't Hurt Old Folks.
This has been excursion day, sure
enough.
The First Baptist church sent about
eight car loads out to Halifax, Va and it
was a gay, happy crowd.
The Main Street Methodist folks sent
hundreds to Burlington, while the Epis-
copal brethren ran an excursion to Hills
boro.
With these three excursions the town
is just about depopulated-especially so
far as young folks are concerned.
They will all return to night, and all
will feel better for having taken the trip
There should be more days off-there
should be more excursions.

as Well as Other Professionals
Have Their SpeciaIties.

Have Their Specialties.
That there is such a thing as a
specially among professional hunters
will strike some people as peculiar.
The commonly accepted idea is that if
a man can shoot at n thing he can at
another. But such is not the case, says
the St. Louis GlObe-Democrat, Not
only that, but by trying all kinds of
game a hunter may ruin himself for
all. The man who hunts snipe is gen
orally through when his seasons end.
If he shoots any Othergame it is for
his use. > He some days sends in
two hundred birds as the result of one
days work. Strings of eighty, ninety,
and one hundred are o infrequent.
His harvest is at the season of the year
when the birds sell at two dollars and
fifty cents INC three dollars a dozen.
The duck hunter is also of a class to
himself. This is particularly true of
the wOod-duck hunter. The chicken
and quail hunters are generally the
same, and in large part they are known
as farmers. Deer and wild turkey
also go together. They are found in
the same section of country and at the
same time. Their turkeys average
them over one dollar each, and when
they run across a flock it is an easy
matter to get ten or twelve out of it.
This hunter is supposed to spend the
balance of the year in chopping rail
road ties on government land, drinking
m~oonshine and keeping out of the wa
of revenue officers. The woodcock
hunters also stand out alone. Squirrels
and rabbits alone are hunted by any,
body and everybody:

A MAN may be a very able lawyer,

A MAN may be very able lawyer,
good business man, yet, when he goes
into the "printing business, make big
"pie" of it. Our correspondent evidently
takes the subject of rotation in the public
printing as serious matter, without
taking into consideration the requisites
thereof. Treating the matter in bust
ness manner, it requires an investment of
eight to ten thousand dollars in material,
presses, etc., and we question if there are
more than two Offices in the State ade-
quate to do the work, and those at Ra~
leigh. This rotation of contract would
result in some "sublet." Charlotte
probably has one Of the best equipped
job Offices in the State, yet not prepared
to invest largely in material that would
remain idle for several years waiting this
rotation. Copy of Bills ordered printed
by Legislature, would require the services
of "pony express" in transit. Ofpatron-
age to "party press" Gov. Vance's

p~The most significant recognition c

D@-The most significant recognition of
the superior advantages of the South as
a location for the manufacture of cotton
fabrics has manifested itself during the
past week in rumor that the Massachu-
setts Cotton Mills Corporation, of Low
ell, Mass, has decided to establish mills
for the manufacture of the coarser grades
of goods at some point in the South. AL
though this rumor mas been discredited
by some of the New England papers, we
have positive information from a source
of undoubted authority that the company
has decided to make such a move,
although the details of location and con-
struction are yet to be determined. The
Massachusetts Cotton Mills Corporation
is one of the largest cotton manufacturing
concerns in New England, having a capi-
tai of $1,8OO,00O and operating 126, 6,648
spindles and 5000 looms. The product
consists of sheetings, shirtings, drillings,
etc. For the purpose Of extending its
business the company has applied for leg
islative authority to increase it's capital
stock by 81 100000. 1t is understood that
the contemplated new mill in the South
will be equipped with the latest improved
machinery, and that the heads of depart
ments will come from Lowell.-Manufact

An Immense Thing for Charlotte and the
State.

There is a bill before the Legislature
to incorporate "The Catawba Electric
Power Company, Of CASTOR county,"
which the people of Charlotte hail as q
big thing for that city. The scheme is to
purchase water power on the Catawba
river, which will be used for the genera
ton and transmission of electric power
to Charlotte for electric light plants,
motive power for manufactures, etc. The
grand scheme of harnessing Niagara riv-
er and transmitting power by wire to
Buffalo and other cities, has given an
impetus to the utilization Of streams for
this purpose, and as result, great
many water powers are being purchased
throughout the West with this view. We
remember reading year or more ago an
article on the subject of thus utilizing
our mountain streams, by which, the
author holds, manufacturing towns might
be established at eligible sites miles dis
tant from the streams which furnished
the power Wilmington Star.

a. At recent meeting of the Farm
ers' Alliance, of Coosa county, Ala, a
resolution was unanimously adopted re-
quiring each Alliance "to hold q public
meeting prior to the next meeting of the
County Alliance, for the purpose of se-
lecting a representative farmer, not
under 40 years of age, to attend the next
meeting of said County Alliance to take
part in discussing the question of making
and retaining living at home" This
moves the Coosa Advocate to rejoice, it
being the first time, according to that
paper, that the subject of farming has
been brought up in the Coosa County AL
lance for at least twelve months, politics
having been the absorbing theme. 1t is
time for Alliance men everywhere to get
back to their first love. By SO doing in
the language of the Birmingham Age
Herald, "each member will soon have a
fatted calf of his own to KILL" instead OF
subssting on the husks of politics.
