The Hardware Co has the best fly
trap We have ever seen. 1t is based
on the principal that flies will not
travel down perpendicular surface
but will invariably 60 upward. The
show windows are very large and
close. The window is opened by
raising panel inside the store 10
operate the fly trap the panel is
raised just an inch or so. The flies
walk up to this opening and into the
window where they are imprisoned
securely as they will not 60 down
ward to the panel opening. BY
morning they are dead. Exactly
what kills them is not known. 1t is
supposed to be either heat or lack OF
water. At any rate they die and in
quantities almost incredible. One
morning last week four pounds Of
dead flies were taken from this win
dow. This trap may be seen in full
operation any day.

WORTH OF A WIFE.

A Kafir girl is worth, according to
the rank of her family, from four to
ten cows.
A man who falls in love with a ma
tive girl of the Manzoni territory fares
better, for all he need pay for her is
two deer skins.
Twenty oxen is the regular price for
a wife among the Mishimis, but a poor
man has more than once succeeded in
obtaining bride on payment of one
pig.
In Europe, says foreign explorer, it
is customary for parents to give dow
ries to their daughters when they
marry, but in uncivilized countries
quite different custom prevails.
In Tartary, no father will surrender
his daughter unless he gets goodly
quantity of butter in return, and in
certain parts of India no girl can marry
until her father has been pacified by a
present of rice and few rupees.
In Uganda man can buy a hand
some wife for four bulls, box of car
tridges and six needles, and if he has
the luck to go a-wooing when woman
happens to be a drug on the market he
can buy a suitable damsel for a pair
of shoes.
AT Timor no girl will think of mar
rying man not provided with GER
tain number of elephants tusks, and
at Unyoro any desirable but impecuni-
Gus sutton may purchase his wife on
credit, but will not be allowed to en-
JOY her company until he has paid the
uttermost farthing.
Among many tribes of Africa and
Asia it is customary for a sutton to
work as a hired man for his future
father-in-law in the same manner as
Jacob worked for Laban. A certain
value is set on the girl whom he selects
as his wife, and when his wages amount
to that much he gets her, and not be-
fore.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

The condition of the Japanese wom-

York bar, is fully as favorable to her
development as that of the woman of
America.
Miss Natica Reeves, a wealthy young
sojourner in Newport, appeared on the
street there a few days ago with rib
bon-bound hair hanging down her
back Some other young women of
the swell set followed suit and the
style bids fair to become general for
the hot weather.

Rouen, has started campaign against

band came from a fine family"
Mrs. Fish met this thrust with
perfect good nature. "Oh, yes.
he does. But you see in America
it is not disgrace to work. How much
better it would be if these conditions
prevailed in Europe. We in America
would be spared so many titled non

PORTABLE MARINE TORCH.
Emergency Device which Is Part of
Equipment OF Ocean
Going Ships.

The marine torch designed to be car
ried in ships for emergency use, and
which was first introduced two years
ago, has led to the perfection of de-
vice which is very great improvement
on the first one. In reality, it is a.
portable incandescent light, and upon
contact with water generates a bril-
liant Illuminating gas, automatically
lighted by chemical device and mex
tinguishable by wind or water. The
light is so balanced that it floats up-
right directly it enters the water, saws
the Philadelphia Record. The light is
made in from 300 to 10000 candle DOW
er, according to size, and burns. it is
said, up to half an hour, while it IL
Eliminates for reading up to $50 yards
distance. The light is now specially
approved by the board of trade for the
compulsory equipment of passenger
ships and adopted by the Irish lights
board, and such a system makes it
suitable for many purposes in connec-
ton with marine work-especially.
perhaps, in emergencies, 80 seconds
sufficing to undo the two inclosing

Great Yarmouth, England, has the

Through the carelessness of a work

The whole northern part of Asia
Minor, according to the treaty be-
tween Russia and Turkey, is now
placed under such conditions that Rus

found in Persia, where the entire
northern portion is acknowledged to

The floating gardens in the lakes

mud from the bottom is thrown. The
surface is then transformed into a

With blackened face beside the curb
The little patriot stands;
Please notice that he holds small
Toy pistol in his hands;
He bought the thing iii spite of all
His paws and maW'S commands.
He has his pockets full of caps,
And steadily out there
His spiteful little weapon snaps;
His heart is free from care
To him the fears his parents have
Seem foolish and unfair.
Absolved from worry and concern
He let's his eager chum
Shoot now and then. and in return
He chewS the latter's m;
At length deadly cap eXplodes
And burns his little thumb.
Get out the hearse and have the shrouds
Made ready right away;
The patriotic boys are out
And firing to-day;
IT'S sad that death is following
The ardor they display.
Alack-a-day that they so glad,
So young should have to die,
That loving parents ever should
Be left alone to sigh,
That paper caps shot off in June
Make green graves in July.
