GETTING RID OF FLIES.
London Women Adopt an Orien nsai
Plan and Meet with
"a. Success.

Most people who tave travelled in the
far east have seen orientals burning
sandalwood in their houses for the pur-
pose CT driving flies away. 1; is odd
that the plan is not more generally
known in this country, where II meets
with SUCCESS wherever the experiment
is tried. A recent arrival from London
says that the women there lave discov-
cred this agreeable method of ridding
their homes of the pest. In London it
is possible TO get the wood prepared for
this purpose, but here IT is not so easy,
as American women have not yet taken
TO the practice. Now that the festive
fly and the merry mosquito are about
TO make their appearance, housewives
mightdoas well to give the sandalvr,od a
trial. Sanoawood can be bought al al
most any Turkish or japanese import
ing house. 1t is prepared for burning
by first being cut into small pieces half
an inch thick and three inches long.
Then it is baked or dried out in slow
oven for "a hours. \ piece of the wood
is put into a metal urn, lighted and al
lowed TO burn until well aname, when
the fame is extinguished and the red
hot ember left TO smolder until the
wood is consumed and nothing is left
but heap Of fine gray ashes. During
the smolde-ing process the wood sends
out sweet and aromatic smoke.

a rather astonishing thing one day not

room in the hospital in question was en-

to cheer the sick man up bit. Now
the visitor wore upon his forehead a
small wart. The excrescence was not
an ornament, certainly, but neither
was it much of an annoyance to its
wearer. He was perfectly satisfied TO
let it stay where it was. The eminent
surgeon happened into the room to look
at his patient, and noticed the wart on
the visitors brow. He electrified that
gentleman by blurtly exclaiming:
Better have that wart off," The
man was too surprised TO do more than
stammer: 'Eo, thank you!" "Oh,
yes" said the surgeon; "you want that
of" He called in a couple of nurses,
who we're directed 10 hold the patient
during the operation. Whipping out
his knife. he dipped il into an antiseptlc
fluid, and promptly sliced off the ex-
crescence. 1t looked for a time as If the
subject would have to remsin in the
hospital, TO betreated for nervous prog

and went home rather pleased with the
result. is6

FEW. BOOTS NOW.
They Were Once Very Common But
Their Place Has Been Almost
Entirely Taken by shoes.

when / was boy" said a middle
aged man, according TO the New York
Sun, pretty much everybody used to
wear boots--I did, know, fine calfskin
boots. Now nobody wears boots eX.
cept horsemen and farmers; that is,
practically nobody; you do meet man
in the city now and then that wears
boots, but such men are so few that they
don't count.
"We turned from boots to congress
CATERS, once almost universally worn,
and there's quite lot of congress gai-
ters worn still. You lock along the
rows of feet of the men sitting in an
elevated car and you are pretty likely
to see one or more pairs of them, but
button shoes and lace shoes finally, in
very large measure, supplanted the
congress CATERS. and they remain the
shoes commonly worn to-day
And we shall stick to shoes of one
sort and another. We shan't go back to
boots for various reasons. In the first
place we don't need them. In cities they
are not necessary for protection, nor are
they essential 10 comfort. Shoes are
now more suitable to wear at centers
of population, besides being more con-
venient and cheaper.

of the great majority of men, we have
got through with boots. II is another
illustration of how easily long-estab-
lished customs vanish when conditions
change"

lie in this city. President Palma, OF the
Cuban Junta. was also present Que
sada presented his statement as to the
status Of the government OF the republic.
Some very interesting facts came out
before the foreign affairs committee OF
the house today. The deputy treasurer
OF the Cuban republic appeared with his
books and they were inspected by the
committee. He explained that OF tho
sio,oce. 600 bonds authorized. only $iR.ooO
had been actually disposed Of Some OF
these were in payment OF provisions sent
to Cubans. For some OF the bonds par
had been obtained. These were taken
By the friends OF Cuba
The lowest price at which any were sod
was IS cents on the dollar. A batch OF
$4,000 was sold for $s.0oo In a pressing
emergency. One million Of the bonds, he
said. were locked up In the safe OF Bel
mont & Co. Of New York. to be sold
when the fixed price. q cents on the dol
lar. had been obtained. Three millions Of
the remainder has been signed, but were
locked up in the treasurers vaults.
Mr.. Quesada continued his statement
about the status OF the Cuban govern
ment. He went extensively into the au-
thority exercised by the government over
the eastern provinces. where. he said, all
was Comparatively peaceful.
Industry was going on. war taxes were
being collected. and all the functions of
government were being discharged. With
regard TO the capability Of self-govern-
ment OF the Cubans, he said that they
were a much higher class Of people than
those who had successfully revcited from
Spanish domination in South America.
