Where Flies Come From.

If by stealth a man should let in lit
tie light and air-that is a mans idea of
cooling a room, to open it wider than
the Chicago exposition and let in all the
dust and heat and noise and flies and
glare the street can pour into it-he is
discovered every time. She whose
genius had made every room in the
house a storage warehouse for night air
comes in and wonders Where all these
flies came from?" He, with extravagant
gesticulation, doesn't know-at least he
says he doesn't, and doesn't care, which
is true; what he wants to know is when
they are going back again?-Robert j.
Burdette in Ladies' Home Journal.

whistler's Frank Criticism.

A Paris letter says that Whistler Sc
riously criticised one of Dannats pic
lures in a Paris art exhibition week or
so ago, and the next day mutual
friend nischievously introduced the two
men. Meantime the censorious ex-
pressions of the former had been widely
repeated. Glad to meet you, Mr..
Whistler" Dannat is reported as having
said, particularly glad at this moment,
as | hear you have been running down
my pictures behind my back"
Yes" returned the adept in the
gentle art of making enemies; 81 did
say something rather harsh about it,
and it was behind your back, as | never
before had the pleasure of seeing you
face to face.
''Now that do see you, will do you
the favor to tell you the contribution
you have sent to this salon has no bust
ness here. This is a collection of pic
lures, and you should be informed that
half dozen figures outlined on wall
do not constitute picture. Something
of intelligent composition, some attempt
to represent an idea, some respect for
the truths of nature are prime requisites,
and your fat drawing over there does
not embody any of these qualities. Good

Mosquitoes That Never Lived.

Some of the good people of Stratford,
Conn, decided this year to drain about
forty acres of marsh land and had the
necessary bitches dug. Afterward some
of the bitches were partially filled rp
and the marsh water stagnated therein.
On examination the water was found to
be a saturated solution of mosquito
Larvae. The local scientists focused their
powerful intellects and microscopes
upon specimen of the water and fig
ured it out that the prospective mos
quito population had been 10000. 900 to
the acre.
AS there were forty acres drained, the
appalling fact is apparent that SOC. OO0,-
900 promising members of the mosquito
race, who might have done good and
telling work upon the Connecticut coun-
try boarders this year, were thus cut off
before their youth had a chance to
flower or even to sprout, or, to come
down from metaphor to fact, to crack
the shell of the embryotic state. Among
other things, this little story teaches us
to keep away this summer from un-
drained marshes.-New York Tribune.

A Potato vine Initiating the Lemon Trees.


J. w. Q. Pogue brought in to Visalia
this morning a remarkable freak of ma
ture in the shape of potato vine upon
which was growing potatoes in all stages
of development, from the size of mar
BILE to one as large as the average Early
Rose. The vine was discovered in Mr..
Pogue's lemon grove. The seed planted
was of the Early Rose variety, and some
of the potatoes will be planted out to see
if they will reproduce. When the vine
was pulled up few small potatoes were
found at the root, but on the vine there
must have been a hundred. The only
explanation Mr.. Pogue can offer is that
the potato must have thought it to be its
duty to produce lemons, as is was sur
rounded by that fruit, and that ii
made an honest effort in that direction.
