IMPORTED FLIES.
insects Caught in tho Swamps of Mexico
Brought Here.

The report made from Laredo 10 the
treasury department at Washington
make constant reference to one of the
queerest articles of import brought into
this country. These are dried Mexican
flies, which are brought to the Cnjted
States in large quantities to be used as
food for pet singing birds.
These flies live in the swamps IN vnri-
Gus sections in Mexico, where they are
caught by men who devote their lives
to the work. The fly catchers use q
siiPen net, and make n large haul at
every cast. The individual fly is called
moscos. 1t is small and delicate, and
Its whole body mas the appearance OF
having been gilded.
The flies when alive are beautiful and
harmless. There is a duty on these
Mexican flies. doubtless to encourage
the home fly industry. but up to the
present time the moscos business has
not fourished in this country to any
marked extent The imported flies are
packed in barrels, and they sell for a
high price.

RENouNCE CHRISTMAS.
mchammedsns, Prah minis and Buddhists
Deny the Holiness of Chrlst.

Deny the Holiness of Christ.
There are millions upon millions OF
people in the world who will not cele-
brate Christmas, and there are other
millions to whom Christmas is objec-
tionable, says the New York Herald
Take the followers of Mohammed,
for instance. They are divided into
40 or so different sects, among which
are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There arc
about $4,000 of them. and they believe
In transmigration of the soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
them the story of the birth and life
OF Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
TESS to have knowledge that God has
visited the world 234 times, but they
do not believe in Christ For them
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud
uhists, Japanese, Chinese, Brahmins
and Mohammedans. There is no God
but Allah" says the Mohammedans,
and Mohammed is His prophet" No
hamIned's followers also have curious
notions in regard to the fate of the un-
believers children. Some believe that
these children act as the servants of
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham-
med is recorded as saying on one oc-
casion to his wife:
IF thou desirest l cam make thee
hear their cries in hades."
Other Mohammedan authorities,
however, dissent from this view, and
one of them boldly says: II know that
Allah will not torment those who have
not committed any sin"

There has just been founded at Cal

Of monkeys, says an exchange.
A young monkey is taken and be-
fore him is placed set of blocks on

in fact, exactly similar to those which
children play with in every civilized
country in the world, and they are
used in precisely the same way as if

the human race. There is one professor
for each monkey, and the monkey Is
taught by means of the blocks 10 SPELL

for example, the monkey, after having
been taught to arrange the blocks SO
as to spcil the word quickly and with
out error, receives a. bit of fruit rs his
reward. The same exercise is re u. cd
with other words; and IL is ,hoi. that
in time the simians will learn how
to read and spell and understand Eng

will also be made, it is sud, to educate
these beasts go that they may become
fairly efficient domestic servants. The
school is SO young as yet. however, that
what it will accomplish is entirely
matter OF speculation. Its "professora'
are enthusiastic about their novel work
and seem TO think that new field OF
usefulness will be opened up for these

The finest art of Irritation is adapta-
bility, says Lippincott's. l do not mean
altogether to mold ones self after the
mind or mood of the object of ones
solicitude, but as rapidly as possible to
discover the broad lines of his or her
character and disposition, then, with
the courage of a military leader, turn
the force of our friend, the enemy, IN
that channel which may best please
ones own intelligence and purpose.
With little executive ability, and, in
case the object be q man, just tinge
of judicious fiattery, this can be accom-
plished. Sometimes, of course, we run
our heads against u stone wall; then
something must go, and il is generally
not the wall. This is as fat guing u
process in the mental faculties as
standing ON tiptoe is to the muscles
of the foot; but the mental exercise,
like the athletic, has it's advantages.
The rider of one hobby has generally
another in training, If not in actual
use; and the man who cannot make
himself interesting on either of the
subjects that most absorb his own in

1.-THE farmers Of Georgia are in the
most prosperous condition they have

man, and one who usually weighs his
words well when he speaks, recently.
II have Travelled over the state con-
slderably within the last few weeks"
he continued, "and especially the terri
tory tributary to Savannah. ! have
talked with a number Of farmers and
with others who come constantly in
contact with them, and the general ver-
diet Is that the farmers are in better
condition than they have been in years,
The crops are generally good, far above
the average, both cotton and corn.
What is better still, the farmers are
living at home, and this years crop OF
cotton will come nearer being cash
crop than any they have ever raised.
The result is u general feeling of con-
tentment throughout the country. In
fact, the condition of the farmers in
Georgia, and doubtless through the
south generally, has been much better
during the last three or four years than
they have been given credit for. They
have not much money to spend, but
they have been reaching nearer to in

money than they ever did, and there are
fewer mortgages than in any other sec

rights of free speech in West Virginia
and pointing out the rights the state con-
stltutlon guarantees to citizens of all
classes, The Intellgencer is tempted TO
believe that the Register did not read the
governors letter for 1t does not believe
that It would willingly do him the rank
injustice contained in the above para
graph.
Some time since local labor union in
Washington City denounced Governor
Atkinson for an alleged suppression of
free speech and calling out troops, and
branded him as a tyrant for 80 doing,
when he had not suppressed free speech
and had not called out troops, and was
not even contemplating such thing, for
there was no occasion for 1t. The COVER
nor was naturally irritated at the lnjus-
tlce done him and did address a very tart
rebuke to the officials OF that mistaken
local union, II turned out afterward
that the union had reference to an incl
dent which had occurred In Virginia, and
which our governor had no connection
with whatever. The Federation OF
Labor in Washington repuilated the
action of the local union. which was not
connected with the national organlza-
ton.
Perhaps 1t is this incident the Register
refers to; and II so, 1t is almost mex
cusable In our neIghbor that 1t has not
kept posted on the subsequent events,
which were complete vlndlcatIon by

While the assassination of Premier
Canovas, of Spain, does not seem to have
any connection with political complica-
lions, but was the act OF a fanatlcal an
archist, acting wholly upon his own re-
sponsibllity, political complications may
grow out of the tragedy. It necessarily
means change of administration in
Spain and perhaps change Of the inter-
nal as well as of the Cuban policy, For
this reason the Cuban junta and sympa-
thizers with Cuba will anxIously look for
future developments growing out of this
unexpected turn of affairs
The policy of Canovas has been that
which is being carried out by Weyler for
the suppression of the rebellion. The
cruel. barbarous war OF determination
weyler has waged, not only agaIns. the
insurrectlonists in the field. but against
women and children, has been sustained
by the Canoyas ministry, and there are
hopes that, with the change tina, must
come. more humane policy Will be
pursued-if not in the dh,c:ion Of the
ending OF the war by granting to Cuba
substantial relief by the removal of the
causes of the uprising, then, at least, a
more civilized conduct of the war.
Senator Morgan. OF Alabama, who Is a
close student of Spanish policies and a
close observer of the progress of the war,
gives it as his opinion that the affair will
create a revolution of policies throughout
the whole of Spain. There Is little doubt
he thinks, that, while the assassination
was the work OF an Italian anarchist. 1t
is representative Of a feeling existing all
over the country.
The senator correctly states the situa-
ton when he calls attention to the fact
that there is great dissatisfaction among
the common people of Spain over the
conduct of the war The Spanish army
in Cuba was recruited from their ranks,
