Fly Paper.

Flies have become so acute that
poison paper no longer attracts
them. A new dish is now prepared
for them which has been very suo-
cessful. Take teaspoonful OF
ground black pepper and mix it with
2 teaspoonfuls of brown sugar.
Moisten the compound with milk
and place where there are rays Of
light. The flies will generally be
quickly attracted and eat greedily.
If they do, it will be their last meal,
for the least taste of IT is to a fly
poison. New York Sun.

OFFICIAL advices received at CONSTANT
nople, from Jerusalem, show that there has
worshipers at the Church Of the Holy
Sepulcher. 1t appears that the Roman
Catholics were opposed to members Of the
Orthodox Greek church entering the church
by certain door on the eve OF January 6,
the day observed by the Orthodox church az
Christmas. The latter insisted upon their
right to enter, and the result was that the
two factions became involved in a serious
fight, which did not end until the Turkish
authorities interviewed to restore order
Some of the combatants we're badly injured,
but 1t is not known whether anybody was
killed.

recognition of man he had never seen be-
fore:
81 was sent out to the west end to see a
man who had been implicated in II very
malodorous scandal. The story hung upon
my seeing him, and to say that was anx-
ious to get my eagle eye on him would
be putting it very mildly. / rode out to
his house only to find that the head of the
household and all the rest of 1t were away,
nobody knew where. The neighbors
thought they had gone out of town.
IL got on car and was headed down
town, when | was impclled by some queer
influence / can't describe to look at "A man
who sat behind me- He was an ordinary
looking man, and would not have looked
at him "A second time under other circum-
stances. But something told me that this

l know it? Blessed if | can tell you. No
one had ever described him to me. l knew

hesitated a moment. Yes, slightly, he
answered at last. Il must see him. Can
you tell me where would be likely to find
him?' l asked. Probably at his Office, he
said. Hardly at this hour, should say,
l remarked, looking at my watch. 1t was
10 o'clock. He hedged little more, but
finally his curiosity overcame him, and he
said, Il am the man you are looking for.

back after the fight, and we had more
wounded than we had transportation
for, but two men out Of his own tent
set out to carry this man wherever we
were going, which was presumably
the camp behind intrenchments that
we'd left In the morning.
"They took turns at backing him for
half mile or so until they came to q
farmhouse that had grassy yard In
front. They laid him down on the grass
and took little look around the house
to see what they could see. In build
ing at the rear they came across some
thing that made 'em stand still and
look at each other and laugh. 1t was q
hand cart. What use the folks here had
made of 1t they couldn't guess, but they
knew what use they We're going to make
of it. They got 1t out of the building
and rolled it around the side of the
house alongside the wounded man and
dropped the handle on the grass. He
laughed, too, when he saw it. He was
going the rest of the way in private
ambulance
1.-THE two men took their blankets off
their shoulders and united them and
spread their rubbers down on the bot
tom of the hand cart and spread their
wooden blankets down on them, and
then they ran the hand cart up and rest
ed the handle on the front steps of the
house and lifted in the wounded man
and laid their guns in beside him. Then
they turned the cart around again, and
one man got inside the shafts, with the
crosspiece against his waist belt, and
the other man got behind to push: They
all smiled again when they started,
