THE TERRIBLE BLACK FLY.
4 Pest Of the Forests and Foe to Camp
ing Parties,

The black fly Of the American wilder
ness is smaller than the mosquito, yet
when brace Of black flies are about the
mosquito isn't "in it
In its diet the black fly is not fastidious.
1t lunches where it lands, without formal
ity or by your leave. When 1t departs the
Tortured flesh rises in bumps calculated to
destroy the reason Of the most level headed
phrcnologist The center Of the swelling
Is marked by a minute point which, If in
vestigated closely, proves to be a chunk of
cuticle cut bodily from the victim. The
swelling lasts day, always. Sometimes
1t stays a week, and with its departure
goes the salvation Of the victim The aft
ernath of the black fly bite is an angry
red bump like unto the rash of the measles.
Sometimes 1t Is situated in the middle ola
campers nose.
The black fly loafs about all the great
forests of northeast America But 1t has
no home; it Is always abroad. Like the
vulture, 1t scars in the crystal atmosphere
looking for whom it may devour. But
unlike tho carrion bird, 1t unfortunately
docs not wait for the death of its prey. 1t
prefers it alive A city man once asked
an Adirondack guido what the people in the
woods had to keep themselves occupied
when there We're no city folks about.
"Oh, well, " answered the guide, some
of us die sometimes, and we fight each
other and some of us gets shot, maybe,
and thcn"-brightcning up-"we has the
black flies. They keep us busy"
And SO they do They come on snow
shoes and go away on skates, and while
they sneak about the woods, campers and
guides and forest folk spend tho days fight
Ing them Off and at night pour them out
of their shoes and pockets and give tho
poor mosquitoes chance to keep from
starving.
There arc thrco ways of obtaining inter
mittent peace from the assaults Of tho
black fly, ono by sitting in the sitting,
binding fumes Of punk wood smudge the
second by painting your face with tar oil,
the third by Keeping away from tho woods.
The last IS really the only successful meth

are black flies. New York World.

Proposed Hawaiian Gable.

New York, Dec. 19.--The govern.
ment Of Hawaii has granted to Col.
onel Spaulding, well known planter
Of the Hawaiian islands, concession
for cable to the United States, with a
subsidy OF $4,000 year. Colonel
spaulding's idea is to apply to the gov
ernment Of the United States for a
sufficient subsidy to warrant the laying
Of the cable and for its maintenance.
The object Is to secure to the United
States the advantage Of a cable COM
munication from the Hawaiian
islands. In the hope that the cable at
some future time may be extended to
Australia and China, with which coun-
tries we have large and growing com.
mercal relations."
