Pnrohing May Files.

On the banks of the Elbe a curious
sight may frequently be seen. Men
and women come there in the evening
and light fires, near which they care
fully spread spacious cloths. In few
minutes swarIhs of May flies, those del
icate little creatures whose earthly life
lasts only for a few hours, hover around
the fires. and speedily hundreds-nay,
thousands-of them are burned and fall
on the cloths.
After a sufficient supply of flies has
been gathered in this way the fires are
.extinguished, and the cloths are care
fully raised from the ground and taken
home. On the following morning they
are placed in a garden on sunny spot,
the result being that the bodies of the
flies become thoroughly parched. The
flies are then ready for the market and
are sold for a few cents quart to
dealers in birds, who say that there Is
no better food for nightingales, robins
and other feathered pets. Only the
bodies are used for this purpose, and
therefore before they are sent to mar
ket the utmost pains are taken to see
that all the wings have been removed.

An directive g attachment.v

Attaching mans property for debt
is supposed to be legal process, but
an incident which occurred years ago in
the city of Natchez, as related by Davy
Crockett in his Life and Adventures, -
shows that there are other attach
ments' which sometimes accomplish
a bene6cent purpose.
An odd affair occurred when was
last at Natchez, says Mr.. Crockett. A
steamboat stopped at the landing, and
one of the crow went ashore to pur-
chase provisions. He went into sa-
loon on the way, and the adroit in
mates contrived TO rob him of all his
money The captain of the boat, de-
termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope of persuading them to refund, but
they declined.
Without further ceremony, the cap
tain, assisted by his crew and passen-
gers, some 300 or 400 in number, made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had been com
mitted. Then he allowed fifteen min
utes for the money to be forthcoming
vowing that if it We're not produced
within that time he would put steam
to his boat and drag the house into the
river.
The thieves knew that he would keeI
his word, and the money was promptly
produced.
