To Get Rid Of Flies.

Flies are the pest and worry Of all
good housekeepers, and how to rid
room of them is an unsolved problem
to many. This is quite easily accom-
plished by taking advantage of the
dies habit of flying to the window or
place from which light is admitted,
and to accomplish this. darken all the
windows with q heavy shade. or any
material, cutting q hole in one of the
shades, over which is firmly pinned a
sheet of the common transparent fiy
paper, and. ifpossible, have this located
at one of the east, south or west win
lows, from which the most light may
be obtained. It will be but a short
time ere the flies in the room will be
sticking to this paper in their effort to
b. near the light. This is far easier
and more clearly than placing paper
about the room for them to accidentally

''I'm Inclined" said the governor,
''to put you in a dark cell for week
to punish you for your Internal obsti-
macy I've treated you altogether too
well, old man."
The old man gave slight shrug of
his shoulders. but was silent.
Kent began to apologize for him,
and, as coaxingly as he could, asked
him several more questions. To one of
them he growled out sullen no."
and was on the point of saying some
thing else when one of the guards
came in with message for the gov
ernor, at which he relapsed into 81
lence, and no further attempts could
induce him to say a word.
When he had been taken away the
governor said: "You see l was right

ION the contrary" said Kent, II feel
quite encouraged. I've only been feel

Il WISH" said Kent. you'd lock me
up with him for half an hour. If 1
don't make any Roadway then, I'll
give up the job and 60 back"
The next day the governors family
went to a church picnic and Kent &C
companied them. He proved on this
occasion to be the life of the little
party. There seemed to be nothing
that he could not do, from making an
omelette in the woods to making q
speech to the children. The governor
was really quite proud of his guest.
Kent had now been three days inside
the prison jurisdiction, and how well
he had improved his time appeared
afterwards. When they were coming
home from the picnic he told Mrs.
Ixtel that he had overstayed his time
and must finish up his business on the
morrow. If the governor would lock
him up with Laport he thought he
could make the fellow confidential
The upshot of all this was that on
the fourth day Kent was taken to La
ports cell, carrying nothing but .

furnished him. and jocularly remark

CHAPTER I.

In the early autumn of ia young
ton (Ky.) military academy as Surden
Bench, aged twenty-five. got up about
three o'clock in the morning and, TAX
Ing eight hundred dollars belonging
to the academy and his fellow-students,
decamped.
The significance of the circumstance
at the time arose from the discovery of
the deliberate and ingenious method
pursued by Bench to accomplish his
purpose. He had conceived some kind
of town celebration and induced the
young men to write home for funds.
He also succeeded in getting them to
make him the depository of the money,
which according to the books amount
cd to eight hundred and fifty-four dol
lars. He disappeared from Lexington
and all the efforts of the faculty and
the authorities to trace him failed.
It is now known that when he left the
academy he struck across country to
the Salt river, where he had skiff in
hiding and presumably a negro con-
federate. With characteristic Ken
lucky impulse, the young men of the
school held an indignation meeting
and offered the eight hundred dollars
to anyone who would capture him and
turn him over'to the authorities. This
reward put upon his trail several
western deputy sheriffs who tracked
him to Cairo, ILL.,, where it was sus-
pected that he had changed his boat,
bought ammunition and supplies and
set OF down the Mississippi, travelling
generally in the night and hiding in
tho bayous during the day.
Deputy Sheriff Col. Abner Petingill,
Of Frankfort, published in the Louis
Vile Journal year later a commune
cation setting forth that his party had |
tracked Bench to a bayou, somewhere |
between Tiptonville and Fulton, on
tho Tennessee shore, where the fugi- |
tive had sunk his boat and struck |
through the wild tract of country ex-
tending to what is known as the ''High-
land Rim, in Henderson county. This
communication is curious in one state
ment. 1t says: 1--WE discovered, after
much tedious searching, the sunken
boat and then struck his trail in the
woods. We had not followed it far be-
fore we came to the conclusion that he
was accompanied by woman"
Col. Petingill then states that it was
his belief and the belief of his party
that Bench met with an accident some
where on the Rim, for all traces of him
disappeared, and after camping out for
two weeks in the wilderness and dis
covering no new trail the party re-
turned.
The fact il Bench had accidentally
discovered the Laran cave.
In his endeavor to escape from his
pursuers, he had struck straight up the
rim and In jumping from one of the

RINGS IN TREES.
The NOn-UniformIty OF Additions Of DIFF
ferent Years.

The NOn-UniformIty OF Additions Of Diff
ferent Years.
It goes without further saying that
the annual rings in exogenous (outside
growers) stems vary in age from the
youngest upon the outside to the oldest
at the center. The point for us to de-
term;ne is the lack of uniformity in the
wood and why that lack is somewhat
regular. In other words, the woody
tissue of a stem is heterogeneous only
within certain limits. Thus in one
wood there are thirty-nine rings, and
the tree for our purpose may be con-
sidered forty years old in round num-
bers. Twenty of these rings, or the
older half, show a marked color, being
much darker than the super-imposed
twenty years of annual deposits. Sew
eral other things are shown by this
section, and we can well dwell upon
this specimen, as it illustrates facts
that are common to nearly all trans
verse cuts of wood. The rings, for ex.
ample, are not all of the same width,
those formed while the tree was pass
ing from its fifth to the twentieth sea-
son being the largest. but even among
these there is wide variation Thus,
ring fifteen from the center is narrow
one, followed by one of unusual width.
For the last ten years the rings have
been more uniform and much thinner
than twenty years earlier. There may
oe one or more of many reasons for
ring being unusually thin, as, for ex-
ample. short season. one lacking in
moisture or having an excess of it, in
jury from frost, fires, insects, or para
site fungi. The decrease in thickness
toward the outside of the pawpaw may
oe due to insufficient nutrition, APP
preaching old age, ETC., but in this con-
aectiOn it must not be overlooked that
the amount of actual wood deposited
may be more in thin ring at the for
tieth year than in a comparatively
thick one at the tenth year, the surface
covered being so much more extensive.
It is likely that the root and leaf sur
face may not increase in the same
ratio as that of the cambum or grow
ing layer.-Prof. Byron d. Halsted. in

in order to relieve his craft, threw over

called the Bahiata Bank. The mate of
this vessel claimed to be an American
and when the Valencia was captured
two days later he managed to escape
by connivance of the authorities and
went straight to New Orleans. It is
supposed that he met Bench there. At
all events, he went back to Caracas as
soon as the revolution was over and is
known to have bought up, on some
plea or other, the shells and ammuni-
tion originally shipped with the guns
that were lost and for which the gov
eminent had no use.
The guns, however, were not lost.
They lay in plain sight on the Bahiata
bank at low water, and, having been
carefully sealed, had suffered little
damage.

SUFFERING AUSTRALIA.
Many Families Without the Nee
essaries of Life,
EXTENSIVE STRIKES THE CAUSE.

Mines Closed Down All Over the Country.
Commerce Brought to a standstil and
There Is Complete stagnation in the
Wool Industry.
PITTsBUBG, Jan III r. Arnold,
former Pennsylvanian, but for years past
engaged in well drilling in Australia and
other far away countries is just home
from the Sandwich islands Mr. Arnold
spent two weeks in Honolulu, and left
there the day after New Years He says
Liliuokalani will never be restored to the
throne unless some foreign power inter
venes, because the people do not want a
monarchy any longer.
Speaking Of Australia Mr. Arnold said;
You think you have hard times here
and | suppose many people are suffering
from want and deprivation, but they are
far above the deplorable condition that
prevails in Australia. There are several
causes for this depression, but perhaps the
strikes had more to do with it than any
thing else
"There were three bad strikes, and each
one affected most vitally the financial
status of the people. They were the
miners, the maritime and the shearers'
strikes The miners strike paralyzed the
mining industry to such an extent that it
has not yet recovered, and will not for a
long time. Mines are closed down all
over the country. Miners are out of en-
ployment, their families are suffering, be
ing almost entirely destitute of the neces-
sities of life, The maritime strike brought
commerce with other countries to a stand
still, thereby striking fatal blow at the
general business interests.
The strike of the shearers was, per
haps, the worst of all Wool growing is
the chief industry of Australia, and any
thing that affects it is felt generally
throughout the country. The shearers in
many places banded together and camped
out on the hills. They destroyed property,
killed the sheep and did an incalculable
amount of damage In several instances
the militia was called out to quell distur-
bances but fortunately there were no con
! tlicts resulting in bloodshed."
