The Flies OF Egypt.

The flies OF Egypt deserve tribute to
their peculiar qualities. a plague OF
American flies would be 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 disiodged. They can stay all day
i they like. Consequently, if they see
an American eye, and they light on it,
not content with that, they try 10
crawl in. You attempt to brush them
or, but they only move around to the
other side. until you are mad with
nervousness from their sticky feet.
II they find out your car they crawl in
and walk around. You cannot discour-
age them. They craze yo,,with their

Caravan Parties,

Caravan holidays are in England re

pc It understood, is a gypsy cart, got up
III the style Of comfort one can afford,
end driven from place to place with its
occupants and accessories. All that
you want is q nice, roomy caravan, with
good, strong horses and q dining tent,
earned on the roof, to put up when q
halt is made. Two vans are needed
one for the kitchen and servants and
the other for the rest of the party.
bedroom space is, of course, limited,
and, therefore, the number Of guests
must be small. But if there is an inn
IN the near ncighborhood your sur
plus friends can sleep there and spend
the rest Of the day with the caravan.

OF the country presents endless oppor-
tunities for amusemcnt.-N. Y. World

other thing. We want a great many
more things than we need. A good par
ent wants the child to have whatever lie
needs, and is ready to secure such
things for him if within his power. He
would be culpahle parent who would
give his child whatever things lie want
ed, whether he needed them or not

keeping his child from having many

curing for the child whatever he needs.
Our Heavely Father is truest and best
OF parents in this same discrimination
OF gifts to His children. He knoweth
what things we have need Of before we
ask Him. We tel! Him the things that
we want. We ought to be grateful! that
God will not give us the things that we
want unless lie knows that we also
have need Of them.-Detroit Free Press.

HOW TO BOIL MONEY.
1t Is Not Altogether a Profitable Elk
pertinent, However, and Is
Not Recommended.

well-known che mical expert in Eng
land recently boiled a sixpence and
watched it dissolve and pass away in
the form Of vapor, justus 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 siNpence it was cut up
into small pieces, which We're 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 cuplikc 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. IT was in this little
sup 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.
lie had arranged his apparatus in
front Of a magic lantern, SO that the
whole thing could be seen on a large
white screen. The carbons, the coin,
and IN fact everything could be viewed
plainly. VI course, the electric current
passing between the carbons made
them very hot, and the cup soon became
11iled with awhile heat. TWAS wonder

and simmercd, and finally boiled.-Chi-

TITLES ARE REWARDS.
Mem Accept Them Because They Con-
fex Distinction and Individuality
Upon the PossessOr.

Henry Labouchere, member OF the
British parliament and editor OF Lon
don Truth, is moved to decry earthly
honors and dignities after this manner:
I'VE live for speck of time in an
eternity which has no time. We have 4
name by which we are known as q
necessary consequence Of cur indivi,l-
ual!ty. But what pleasure can there be
In being called in this speck Of time
either My Lord or Sir John by he finite
worms that happen to be existing dur
Ing our brief lives? What pleasure, too,
can there be going about bedizened
with ribbons like prize COW? The COW
would prefer good meal to the rib
bons-so would IT,
Before pursuing this commentary any
further it is safe to say that Mr.. La
bouchere is not insensible to distinc-
ton. He would not be an Englishmun
OF his class and generation if he were.
The thrill the wearer Of new title may
DO supposed to experience when he is
for the first time addressed as NV Lord
or Sir John is precisely the same that
Mr.. Laboucherc feels when passcrsby
say Of him: That's Labby." My Lord,
Sir John and "Labby" all enjoy the
titles which serve to distinguish them
from others. Mr.. Labouchere's com
parison of the prize cow is unfortunate
The COW does not enjoy the ribbons
with which She is bedeckcd, because she
isonly COW and does not know enough
II she knew that the ribbons designated
her as the biggest or latest or best
bred or bestmibkerin Durham or Devon
shire she would not exchange the dec
Grafton for q bale Of hay. Neither would
MIR. Labouchcrc.
The taste for ribbons and stars ana
carriers and medals and swords of honor
dates back to a time when they did
mean something, even supposing they
mean nothing now. But they do mean
great deal this present time-in truth,
nearly or quite as much MS they ever
did. The man who is not a lump Of clay
would like to be regarded as good as his
fellows and if possible little better
lie does not wear the bcdiZcnns rib
bons because they make him look pref
tier, but because they make him appear
more distinguished. They convey the
impression, these iris hued adornmcnts.
that he has done something or he would
not be wearing them. If he was moth
ing and nobody he would not have been
chosen as grand marshal Of the day
with the big red sash. If he had not
been the tallest man in the regiment
and good musician he would not have
been put forward as drum ma jor with
his fine clothes.
1t all goes back to the beginning of
things, when the tallcst and swiftest
and bravest man was made the head of
the government and was invested with
the liaG's skin cloak and the bcar-tooth
necklace and the eagle feather coronet
and remarked to his admiring con
stituency: I'VE call me chief and ye do
we'll" 1t is not the hedizenment. it is
not the color. Any man could attain

4 RUN ON CARS.
At the Cotton Belt ShOps-SaW Mills
 Closing.

Business is booming at the Cotton Belt shops in this city. All of the employees are kept busy. New men have been put to work and moi are wanted. All departments are doing a rushing business. The men who are employed at present are kept at it day and night and the force is not sufficient to supply the demand made upon the company for materials.
 It is our information at this writing that several saw mills have shut down along the line of the Cotton Belt owing to their inability to secure cars for shipping purpo- poses. The Cotton Belt at this place at the present time need no less than 800 cars; this is the mini mum estimate.
 It certainly is working a great hardship not only to the saw mills but to the Cotton Belt employees, in having to work day and night, not to speak of the loss financially to the Cotton Belt. Men who are cry ing tor work should avail them selves of the opportunity now offer- ed them. The Cotton Belt is all ways on top in business and we trust that the saw mills, if it be true, will not be compelled to close on account of being unable to se- cure 6 necessary supply of cars for shipping purposes. The demand, according to our information, ex- ceeds the facilities now in force at the shops here.
