TRAGEDY OF AN INSECT.

Tho Sand Fly Lives hut q Day After
Coming Into the Light.
Here Is the tragic story Of the sand
fly:
1t has but day to live In the light.
In order to earn the right to that day
of life it lives from one to three years
in darkness, down in the mud at the
bottom of lakes or rivers. Moreover,
the sand fly Is perfectly harmless. II
does not bite. 1t has no sting. 1t can
not even eat. All 1t can do Is to fit
about for q few hours, enjoying the
light of day or the glare Of an electric
lamp.
The sand fly Is known to scientists
Familiarity rs the May fly. In scientific
terms 1t is called ephemerida. This
name Is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
fly is one of the most interesting and
beautiful Of insects.
The fly lives but day at most, but
before 1t sees the light 1t has lived for
from one to three years under the wa
ter in the form Of what the scientists
call nymph. This nymph can both
walk and swim. AS 1t grows 1t molts,
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear on Its thorax. These
grow larger until the insect comes forth
from the water sand fly. 1t then has
but one duty--to lay its eggs. This
done. the sand fly zigzags through the
air until its brief life is ended.-Chicago

The hay weather this week speaks fol
itself, so we will pass it by without even
a mention, just observing incidentally
that there is lots of hay yet to be cut,
and especially is this true in regard to
meadows.
On the last day of August the writer
had the curiosity to see how the crops
looked through the neighborhood, and
found nothing that looked fairly passable
except the hay crop. Potatoes were
more than half dead with rust, beans a
failure and sweet corn is destined to be
if there comes killing frost before
October. The less said about the apple
crop the better. Some call this an off
year and such is not far from the truth.
Nora Campbell, Mamie Brooks and
Leora Whitman all commenced their

Lydia Cole Pierce is stopping at her
fathers again this summer, and the
other day we had the privilege of inter-
viewing her in regard to her getting
struck by lightning one year ago. She
was standing near the sink when the
bolt came, and realized nothing, so great
was the shock, until she began to revive.
when it was nothing less than torture of
body for several hours; and it was near
ly week before she gained the use of
her lower limbs so as to be able to travel
a few steps at a time. Her clothing was
badly torn, and she was SO burned about
the waist as to require several weeks to
heal the wound. On the whole it was
hardly less than miracle that she
should survive the shock and receive no
permanent injury. There were several
other persons in the house all of whom
were more or less stunned, but not in
jured.
Lyman Herrick joined the militia and
went to Portland last week, but didn't

Tuesday, the home of Postmaster and
Mrs. j. c. Billings was the scene of a
most pleasant social event, it being
the list birthday anniversary of their
guest, Mrs. Ellen s. Jones of Boston.
1t had been planned as a surprise and
proved perfectly successful. Mrs.
Bracket, sister who several years ago
passed the slst milestone, was the first
guest, and as several most intimate
friends soon followed and Mr.. Fred
Thompson from Portland, her son-in-law,
arrived most unexpectedly, it began to
dawn upon Mrs. Jones that it was a
special event and she was the guest of
honor. Soon basket was brought in
with large number of letters of con-
graduation from friends and many
beautiful tokens to show the kind
thought of friends among which was $50
in gold. The day previous was her
fiftieth wedding anniversary and with
the pleasure was the shade of sorrow
which always stands so near our joys.
Mr.. Jones died twenty years ago. Her
only son expected to be present but was
unexpectedly detained. At five o'clock
refreshments were served and Mrs.
Billings reputation as hostess needs no
comments from those who have recip-
tents of her hospitality. The goodbyes
were said amidst the wish of her friends
that many happy birthdays may be en-
joyed.
Wednesday evening, Miss Alice Moore,
state organizer of the w. G. L. U. spoke

audience from first to last. Her plea
for purity of the homes and village life
must have impressed all well-thinking
people. She spoke to the school chill
dren in the afternoon. Oxford County

Bethel w. G. T. U. and after an informal
