they do every year in exactly the same

it is almost impossible to describe. 1t
seems as If they wanted to make sure
that all could stand the voyage, for
many were fallen upon by great num-.

to death.
sAfter different false starts they
went away like whirlwind, leaving
upon the fields those that probably
were too werk and SO were murdered
first by their companions. People
may wonder how these birds in differ

Imported Flies.

The reports made from Laredo tc
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton make constant reference to one of
the queerestarticles of import brought
into this country. These are dried
Mexican flies, which are brought to
the United States in large quantities
to be used as food for pet singing
birds.
These flies live in the swamps in va
rious sections of Mexico, where they
are caught by men who devote their
lives to the work. The fy-catchers
use silken net, and make q large
haul at every cast. The individual
fly is called the moscos. It IS small
and delicate, and its whole body has
the appearance of having been gilded.
The flies when alive are beautiful
and harmless. There is duty on
these Mexican flies, doubtless to en-
coucage the home industry, but up to
the present time the moscos business
has not fourished in this country to
any marked extent. The imported
bies are packed in barrels. and they
sell for o high price.-New York

The coffee eating habit is on the in.

result in complete physical and mental

young girls than any one else. They

Roast coffee will give few minutes

weakness. The victims nearly die

JapAN,s NEW STAMPS.

However strongly the adherents OF

subject of stamps made for collectors

bo sorely tempted to invest in the new
