THE PROLIFIC FLY.
To Lessen fhe Pest All Organic Ref
use should he Buried.

Flies multiply at a prodigious rate
Given temperature sufficiently high
to hatch eggs, their numbers are only
limited by the amount Of food avail
able for them. Linn8us is credited
with saying that three meat flies. by
reason Of their rapid multiplication,
would consume a dead horse quicker
than would a lion, and the fact that
certain diptera having some outward
semblance 10 the honeybee lay their
eggs in the dead carcasses of animals
probably led Samson and Virgil to
make erroneous statements with re-
gard to the genesis of honey and the
manufacture of bees. The breeding of
"gentles" for ground bait Is an indus
try the practices Of which could prob
ably give much information as TO the
nicely of choice exercised by flies in
selecting material for feeding and egg
laying. According to Packard. the
house fly makes selection of horse dung
by preference for ovipositing. and as
each female lays about 40 eggs and
the cycle of changes from egg to fly is
completed In less than three weeks it
seems probable that a female fly might
have some 25,000,000 descendants in
the course of a hot summer Other va
rieties Of flies multiply, believe, still
more rapidly.
AS flies multiply upon and in organic
refuse of every kind. it is obvious that
the sooner such refuse IS placed where
it cannot serve for the breeding and
Matching of flies the more likely is the
plague of flies to be lessened. The
most commonly available method for
the bestowal of organic refuse is bur
ial. The egg laying of flies in dead
carcasses commences at the very in
slant of death or even before death in
the case of enfeebled animals.-Lancet.

MISTAKES TO AVOID.

An English paper gives what it terms
thirteen mistakes Of life"
1t is a great mistake TO set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment Of others
by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world
To look for Judgment and experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To look for perfection in our own &C
tons.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not to yield in immaterial matters.
Not to alleviate all that needs allevia-
ton as far as lies in our power.
Not TO make allowances for the mfr
mites of others.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand

Speak at Lincoln Dinner i'm Ohio
 Ovations to Them.

Columbus, O., Feb. 12.-The ninety second anniversary of the birth of Ab- raham Lincoln was celebrated here to- night by the Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln league with a dollar dinner at the Columbus Auditorium. There were fully 1,50O people seated at the tables. The feature of the evening was tha demonstration in honor of William J. Bryan.

Bryan.
 In the course of his address the re- cent democratic nominee for president said: Never has this nation been more in need than it is to-day of an earnest and thorough revival of Jeffer- sonian principles. While other states men appearing at different crises and meeting the responsibilities of their re- spective times, have made partial appli- cation of democratic principles, Jeffer- son is the only one who formulated democratic code applicable to all times. all situations and all people"
 Alexander Tfonp, of Connecticut, was one of the principal speakers. As one of the leaders of the democracy of the east he received great ovation. He spoke on "Den1ocratic Principles, Past, Present and Future."

HANNA TN NEW YORK.
Speaks on "The Business Man In
 Politics."

New York, Feb. 12-On the ninety second anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and in honor of his memory. the Republican Club of the City of New York gave a banquet to- night at the Waldorf Astoria. A letter was received from Robert T. Lincoln expressing regret that he could not be present. Senator Hanna received tre- mendous ovation as he arose to respond to the toast "The Business Man in Poli- ties" He said in part:
 The American always answers to the bugle call In times of danger. And what could there be more noble than to take part in the public affairs of his country? We had a great example of that at the close of the last campaign, when those thousands of business men of the met ropolis stood for principle. l am here to thank you for what you did then. Upon you must largely depend whether the great principles for which Lincoln stood and for which we stand shall perpetuate the foundation of our government and its policy.
 "The influence of the business man in politics is more far-reaching than one would at first imagine. We don't wish to arraign class against class. The great mass of workingmenp who are the employees of capital and therefore the partners of capital. wield great influ- ence either for good or evil as they are made to see things. It Is the duty. of the business man of America to show to that great class--the most powerful be- cause of it's numbers-that we do not between classes, but that you have their welfare at heart. Then we need have no fear when it comes to sn issue between republcanism and so- cialism'p

 We had a long and to me exceeding ly satisfactory talk about the sad ar fair. MT. Keller spoke freely of the shooting. He declared positively that he did not see any one before the shot was fired, and that he only knew by what he had been told that MT. Barker was his assailant.
 Why Barker should try to kill me [ cannot understand, said MT. Keller to me. I have never had any words with him and our relations have always been friendly
 T spoke to him of the charges made against him by Mrs. Barker, and Mr.. Keller assured me they were baseless My mind is absolutely at rest regarding the matter.

 On her trip toward Chicago she deliv- cred number of short addresses from the rear end of the car speaking at nearly every station where stop was | made. Her coming was marked by no special incident contrary to the expec- tation of the ladies who had invited her to visit Chicago.
 Only a very small crowd was at the depot and it was for the most part com- posed of members of the reception com mlttee. The arrival of Mrs. Nation pro- duced no excitement whatever and pro- voked but little curiosity among the people in the depot.
 Topeka, Kas, Feb 12.-A state dis- pensary bill was introduced in the House to-day. It provides for the es- tablishment of dispensares in numer- ous precincts throughout the state The bill includes the repeal of the laws whereby judges issue permits to drug stores to sell liqors and provides that liquor shall be dealt out at precisely the purchase prices plus the mainte- nance of the stations and salary of agents.

Her first call was made at a saloon at 29O State street, where the proprietor had flung across his doorway a banner bearing the in- scription: "Welcome to Mrs. Nation" Underneath the lettering was drawn large hatchet dripping with blood. Mrs Nation entered the place and was po- litely greeted by the owner. The two then sat down for social talk. throng of people stood outside waiting for the trouble to begin. Mrs. Nation, however, made no effort to break any thing. She said she was going to get the saloonkeepers to come to her lec- tllre

Addresses Lincoln Dinner of the Brook
 Iyn Union League Club.

New York, Feb. 12.-The Union League club, of Brooklyn, this evening held it's annual Lincoln dinner. The principal guest was Minister Wu Ting Fang. Three hundred and fifty-nine guests sat at the tables. Among them were Consul Chew, Hon. Charles G.. Bennett, General John H. Brooke and General Paul Vandevoort, of Nebraska, and Hon. T. w. Cridler, third assistant secretary of state. Letters of regret were read from President Mckinley, Vice President Roosevelt, Cover nor Odell and Senators Platt and De- pew. President Masters introduced Minister Wu.
 In his address Wu Ting Fang spoke in part as follows: America has won two great victories for freedom, one re- sulting in the independence of the Unit ed States the other in the emancipation of the negro. The central figure of the first was Washington, the moving splr- it of the second was Lincoln. It may be doubted by some whether on an oc- casion like this it is proper for a repre- sentative of foreign nation to join in the celebration, but I do not look on Lincoln as belonging to America alone. The world claims him as a benefactor of mankind, and his noble deeds as the achievements of the human race.'
