Electricity Killing OF Flies.

Entomologists report that of late
years the annual crop Of flies is de-
creasing rapidly and steadily. The al
most universal adoption of electric
traction is credited with bringing about
this desirable result. It has been
stated that stables are the chief breed
Ing places for flies, and as the street
car horse has been emancipated, tie
number Of stables is growing less,
hence the failure of the fly to be born
in multitudos as in the past.

THg FORGOTTEN INVITATIONS.
Hostess Waited For Guests Who Did
Not Appear.

They are young married couple
on one Of the handsomest avenues in
the city. Late last winter they de-
cided to pay off some of their social
obligations by giving an evening
party. On the night fixed for the
event the house was illuminated from
basement to attic. The refreshments
provided would fill box car, the
caterer was on hand with his staff of
assistants and an air of eager ex-
pectancy pervaded The entire essab-
lishment.
AT $50 the husband frowned at his
watch and denounced all people, who
thought it smart to be late at party.
At 8 the nervous young wife was at
the front gate looking both ways, dry
ing her eyes on fimsy bit of lace
and showing unmistakable symptoms
Of hysteria.
AT $50 she, with pale face, steely
eyes and hard voice, was telling her
husband what good society she bad

impotent wrath. Suddenly tho white

he understood. She Kissed an avowal

Some men are great in silence, some
are grand in talk. The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has a man in charge
of its bureau Of information in Jersey
City who answers on an average 10000
questions a day, and the person does
not live who has seen his Gathers
rumpled. Remarkable man! The
travelling public can ask more fool
questions than azI other public on
earth; but to intc-rogate stupidity
foo!ishly, idiotically or otherwise Mr..
r. B. Caldwell is to discover a reversal
of the Biblical injunction to answer a
thick wit according to his asinlnity.
Over 500 trains go and come daily at
the Pennsylvania station, and all these
Caldwell must have at his tongues
end. as well as a complete map of the
universe.
Caldwell is every ones main depend
ence. l have heard people inquire
after lost parcels. l have heard others
ask: "Have you seen a man around
here looking as if he expected to meet
some one? did a long, thin chap
with eyeglasses leave a message here
for me?" did young woman with a
child tell you she expected her hus-
band to arrive on the Chicago limited? /?
I'm the man." Caldwell knows at sight
every politician that travels, every
prominent man in public life, every
regular and nearly every irregular pa
tron of his road. Being a man of var
led knowledge he is in demand among
his fellows when arguments wax hot.
In political forecasts he has an unbeat-
en- record.-New York Press.

A measure of vast importance to the
manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests Of the United States is the act OF
congress authorizing the president to
appoint a commission to revise and
amend the laws concerning patents,
trade marks, and trade and CONNER
eial names. The laws, as they exist,
are inadequate to the conditions of the
lay. They are too complex, contra
lictory, and susceptible of great fraud.
The United States courts, in deciding
causes on the laws concerning patents,
have unintentionally done much to rem
