Screens For stable Windows.

The wire screens commonly used in
houses to keep out aies are now so
cheap that they can be proftably used
in stable windows for the same pur-
pose. But it must be remembered
that the stable is itself the most com
mon breeding place for flies, in tho
excrement from animals in which the
flies deposit their eggs. Unless care
is tak en- to gather up and remove the
droppiugs before there is time for
eggs to hatch, the window screens
will serve rather to shut the flies in
than TO keep them out. Stables should
never be built near houses, because if
they are nothing can keep houses
from being overrun with flies. Next
to the stable as breeding place for
these pests is the sink hole, where
slops of all kinds are thrown to pass

from tour which had carried us far into
the bush, as the forests of gum trees and
scrub are there called. We were walking
through a clearing, when the unmistaka-
BILE rattle of a snake arrested us. and in
a few minutes we saw the beginning of
fierce encounter between two deadly enc
mies-a blacksnake and rattle. These
two branches of the snake family are he
reditary and implacable foes, though what
was the origin Of the feud Darwin saith
not. Between them there can be neither
fellowship, amity, compromise nor even
armed neutrality War to the death is
their unalterable law from generation TO

Of silent, stealthy, rapid movement gives
the black fellow an immense advantage
over the rafting enemy. II is that in

CINCINNATI BOYS ROWDY.
Strike of the Messengers Is Fast
Growing Serious.


Growing Serious.
Cincinnati, July 24.-The strike of mes
senger boys, which started Saturday, be-
came serious tonight. Two boys were
stabbed, several hit by missiles and many
siugged with clubs. Most of the violence
was done by roustabouts. The street ur-
chins congregated about the Western
Union and Postal offices tonight, about
a thousand at each place.
When any new boys or men went out
with messages, a gang pursued them with
epithets, clubs and stones. When these
working messengers took street cars, the
pursuing mob stoned the cars, and inno-
cent people were hurt, none seriously. The
police charged on the mobs repeatedly and
scattered them, but the disturbers would
soon rally again.
The companies to-day refused TO recog-
nize the newly formed union, and at a
meeting tonight the boys voted to con-
tinue the strike. At this meeting the
newsboys and some tobacco shippers
promised 10 poin them tomorrow. The
boys will start petitions among the bust
ness men Tomorrow.
