The flies Of Egypt deserve a tribute to
their peculiar qualities. A plague Of
American flies would be a luxury com
pared to the visit Of one fly from
Egypt. For untold centuries they have
been in the habit of crawling over
thick-skinned faces and bodies and not
being dislodged. They can stay all day
If they like. Consequently, if they see
an American eye, and they light on it,
not content with that, they try to
crawl in. You attempt to brush them
of, but they only move around to tho
other side, until you are mad with
nervousness from their sticky feet.
II they find out your ear they crawl In
and walk around. You cannot discour-
age them. They craze you with their

HOW TO BOIL MONEY.
pertinent, However, and II
Not Recommended.

A well-known chemical expert in Eng
land recently boiled sixpence and
watched it dissolve and pass away in
the form of vapor, just as anyone might
do with a pot of water. While he was
doing it he declared that any substance
on earth might be boiled and made to
become vapor, if only you had heat
great enough to do it, not excepting
granite rock.
In boiling the sixpence it was cut up
into small pieces, which were placed in
the hollow carbon of an electric arc
lamp. Anyone who has examined the
discarded carbons of an arc lamp will
have noticed that one of the carbons is
always pointed, while the other carbon
has small cuplike hole in the end.
When the lamp is lighted the carbons
stand one above the other, the sharp
point of one carbon fitting into the
cup" of the other. 1t was in this little
cup that the sixpence was boiled.
Probably it was the smallest pot and
the hottest fire in the world. He placed
the pieces of the coin in the hollow end
Of the one carbon and fixed the other
pointed carbon down against them.
Then he turned on the electric current.
He had arranged his apparatus in
front Of magic lantern, SO that the
whole thing could be seen on q large
white screen. The carbons, the coin,
and in fact everything could be viewed
plainly. OF course, the electric current
passing between the carbons made
them very hot, and the cup soon became
filed with white heat. 1t was wonder
full to see how quick the silver melted
and simmered, and finally boiled.-Chi.

"In the end we believe the United
States will have reason to be proud
of its new possessions" This is the
judgment of The London Times. II
is the judgment also of the vast ma.
jority Of the intelligent people of the
world. 1t is most unquestionably
and emphatically the judgment of the
majority of the people of the United
States. The civil government which
Congress will devise for the Philip
pines will give the natives of the Is.
lands all the self government they
can stand, and will extend the grant
as rapidly as this can be done with
safety to their interests. But no sort
of civil government can be put in OPP
GRAFTON until after the rebellion is
is crushed. It is safe to predict that
the Filipinos, after the hicksters that
have led them into the present troub-
le have been suppressed, will be sat

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The canvass for the election of the
candidates for county Offices 10 pro
ceeding without my excitement, q
''still hslf being pursued. This
seems TO b he policy of both Sides
There Is something moro than the
mere election of tho officers in this
coptest. The fitness of the candi'
dates is . consideration the voter
must not overlook when viewing the
election from Q political standpoint.
Personal preferences always largely
enter into local contest, but the it,
ness of the candidate Is a matter that
should not be overlooked.
We believe the candidates on the
Republican ticket possess tie requis
ito qualifications for the Offices, and
this consideration will somewhat in
fuence the voter. In fact we believe
they IRE better quallhed than the OPP
position candidates for the Offices to
which they aspire.
The fusion parties have lost many
voters since the election of two years
ago and the majority has been wiped
out. There is some dissatisfaction in
the fusion parties and the return of
the Silver Republicans to the old par
ty has placed the fusionists in an I'M
certain attitude. The election favore
the Republicans, but the Republican
candidates will relax no efforts to
make the majorities overwhelming.
