Thomas Foote, who died there the

rel. Foote was % years old and
was affected by what he ate to such
an extent that when he INDUCED
in beef he would become restless,
wander out and below like an OK,
going down on bis hands and knees
to eat grass like COW. After he
partook of mutton, his actions were
those of a sheep, and he would
bleat like a lamb. When he ate
chickens, he would 60 out and
scratch for worms, which he de-
voured with appare mt relish. His
father killed some squirrels. Of
which the son ate heartily. He
left the house and was followed by
his father, who soon saw his son
jumping from limb to limb of a
tree, barking like squirrel. He
called for him to come down; but
this only seemed to make the boy
want to escape, and he attempted
to jump from one tree to another.
He missed his footing, fell to the
ground and expired in less than
five minutes. The young man

FIGHTING FLIES.
The Summer Warfare and How to Con-
Quer a Pest.

Housekeepers are always glad of any
information which will help them to con-
quer those enemies of their summers
peace-hies. Here are two items which
experience has proved of use in the battle.
We all know how flies settle upon a
screen door in rainy weather, or upon
those of the kitchen in any weather wait
ing for an opportunity to slip in as soon as
it is opened. If cloth dipped in kerosene
is rubbed over the outside of the wire and
the frame of the screen, the flies will not
settle upon it. They do not like kerosene.
One application will usually prove effectual
for several days.
The other agent-oil of Iavender-is for
the purpose of disposing of such of the
enemy as have already gained an entrance
to the house.
Darken all the windows but one. The
flies will soon congregate upon that, for
hles enjoy sunshine as thoroughly as moths
detest it. Now with an atomizer spray the
window casing with the oil of lavender and
either leave the open bottle upon the sill
or saturate a small cloth with some of it.
The flies will soon become stupefied and
can be brushed down and disposed of. If
an atomizer is not at hand rub the casing
with the saturated cloth. It is also a good
plan to rub the oil over any place that the
flies particularly like to Light upon. A
hanging lamp has often great attraction

like flash to Fenton, how odd it was that

understand it.

doze ab the edge of the web. Who boards
and feeds you, unnatural whelp that you
are? Your father, indeed!" and again the
spider laughed ironically.
TO his CONSERVATION, Fenton understood
that he was hungry, too, and that he
longed to suck the juices of a stout house
ny which waddled along the side of a
boulder on the walk below. He peered
over the rim of the web, and the fly
looked up.
I'm on to you," wheezed the fly; ''get

Il you were down here for two cents I'd

the fly, "and I don't go one step nearer to

founded stiokiness2"
"Quit your cheekl" yelled the boss. "I'll
dine on you some day. sure as you live.
And you, Fenton, get along about your
business or I'll call the old lady to club the
laziness out OF you"
Fenton actually shed tears at this. What
demon had possessed him? What crime
had he ever committed to have been con-
signed to this awful punishment?
The boss ran nimbly back into the hole
at the end of the tree, and Fenton resolved
that he would make a dash for liberty.
The only possible method of suicide that
occurred to him would be to meander along
the walk, and then, happily, some one
might tread upon him and crush out
a young life which few months ago was
to die by the foot of Daisy. No, that could
hardly be. Daisy would run away when
she saw him. She would not have the
courage to squash him. All, there was the
speckled hen. She was notorious for her
love of spiders, and sure enough there she
lay wallowing in the dust yonder. To die
by the beak of a hen could not be painful
1t was, to be sure, an awfully ignominious
way to shuttle off the coil of spiderdom.
but was it not in the end as speedy as to
get smashed underfoot or MANNED by a
broom? He wished the speckled hen
would come near him. Then he would
drop down upon her nose and in a mo-
ment all would be over.
A violent shaking of the web disturbed
his meditations. He looked around and
saw shining and petite bronze fly strug-

was the only plausible explana-

when Fenton caught his reflection in a
tiny drop OF moisture, hanging on the end
of leaf, he believed the days of enchant-

fannels, had swung himself into that ham

Would they fear that his accounts at the

the funds and had run away to escape pun

And she hated spiders, too. She used to

hateful insects approached her. Ii he had

ForecIosed Russian Mortgages.

The State Bank of Russia will next
month dispose by public auction of no
fewer than 1889 estates, upon the mortgages
of which the bank has been compelled to
foreclose, the owners, nearly all of the no
BILE class, being hopelessly insolvent. In a
few cases, no doubt, bad harvests have led
made it impossible for them to pay the
interest on the mortgages, but the great
majority of these failures, writes our cor
respondent, are directly consequent upon
the neglect and extravaganza of the land
lords. In Poltava alone there are 149 of
such foreclosed estates to come under the
hammer; in Kharkoff, 60; in Bessarabia,

Harry Fenton, swinging In his hammock
under the shade OF dark green oak, felt
that it was good thing to be alive. The
air was musical with the buzz of insects.
That type of industry, the bee, rif1ed the
latest blossoms in that fair San Mateo
garden; big, lazy butterflies dozed on the
margins of roseleaves; delicate ladybugs.
dots of color, shone on the white gravel
walks-it was day of days IN July. A
hummingbird hung in the air over Fen
toms head, and then made luxurious re-
past on the petals of a fragrant magnolia.
A hycatcher darted down and scooped a
corpulent bug which aspired to a lofty
place on the boughs of the broad oak.
This incident set Fenton thinking.
"Is nature then all rapine and strife as
the laureate says?" he unused. "That bug
was enjoying the sunshine. The bird
comes and devours it. Presently that
hawk soaring yonder will have try for
the carcass of the bird, and my little
brother will pot the hawk with his new
gun if he gets q chance. Ha, here Is some
more of it" A big garden spider dashed
from his lurking place to discover what
was shaking his beautiful web A bronze
fly, caught in the tenacious threads, was
responsible for the vibration. And here
occurred the most extraordinary and in
comprehensive part of this insect drama.
The spider, instead of casting his cruel
arms about the captive and carrying it to
his abattoir, disengaged the tangled wings,
pushed it to the edge of the web, and re-
leased it.
This unprecedented act of clemency
completely puzzled the natural philoso-
pher. The release of the fly was not
matter of accident. The spiders inten-
tons when he first dashed from his retreat
were Enthusiastically hostile. The fly had
been delivered into his hands, as it were,
for his noontide meal. But this tiger of
the insect world, this embodiment of cru
city and ferocity, unbinds the victims
chains and casts him out of the very jaws
of death. 1t was against all precedent-it
was simply incredible. The spiders mind
was not in its normal condition. He must
have been indulging in fermented juice of
some kind, else he never could be guilty
of such an act of folly.
And thus musing, Harry Fenton fell
asleep.
When he awoke, he was conscious of a
most stupendous transformation. The
hammock he had been in had grown to
tremendous size. The oak above his head
seemed lost in the white, feecy clouds that
drifted aloft, and an awful looking ap-
partition, suggesting a winged whale, fitted
by him. Its buzzing positively deafened
him. All the proportions OF nature We're
subversed. The blades of grass were tall
as trees, the roses seemed like vast bal
looms, and the pebbles on the walk were
immense boulders. Surely he must have
passed away in his sleep and opened his
eyes on another world. Or his vision was
changed. His eyes had lost their normal

very dirty looking to the southwest, and
the little breeze that was upon US came up
from the BASTARD, but the clouds-the
dark threatening clouds-were moving
slowly the other way.
