Not a Single Fly.

a gentleman at Woodlawn, who
has been travelling in Virginia, tells
story of "fy-time" experience in a
boarding house near Vaudeville, says
the Baltimore Sun. Zone day, while
l was there brushing away flies" he
said, "a lady from New York came
out to engage board, but seemed de-
termined to put up at place where
there were no flies. Our jolly land
lord, who was from the Emerald Isle,
endeavored to secure her as a board
er and showed her the house. Be-
fore going to the dining room she said
to him:
"'You must know one thing; l
would never board in a house where
there is a single fly in the dining
room.
"'Never fear on that account, mad.
am, retorted my host, al the flies in
this house are married and have large
families. "

red pave before it. He has been

has borne with many cruel tone
many cold word, and nerved him

his frame and spirits are weakened and

The SwifteSt Birds.

Evidence has been collected recent
ly which shows that the bluethroat
flies from Central Africa to the shores
of the North Sea, distance of l, 800
miles, in less than day and night,
and makes it, moreover, in one unin-
terrupted fight. The storks which
spend their summers in Austria. Il IN.
gary and their winters in India and
Central Africa are also marvellous
travellers, and make their journeys
twice year in unbrOken flight each
time. From Budapest, in Hungary,
to Lahore, in India, is 2,400 miles in
an air line, and the storks make the
journey in "a hours, thus travelling at
the rate of 100 miles an hour for the
whole distance. The storks which
spend the summer in Central Europe
and winter in Central Africa travel
with the same rapidity.

The Strange Power of Music

If you happen to have little mu-
sicale some night anda picture should
come falling from the wall or statue
should totter and tumble from its
base when one OF the soloists reaches
high key, don't be alarmed or re-
gard the incident as an evil omen.
1t is only freak Of music.
Several thousand years ago SINH
lar occurrence took place, only, Of
course, it was on a more extended
scale, and made a great deal more
talk than the falling Of your picture
or your statue would make. The Oc-
currence In question was the falling
of the walls of J Jericho when Joshua 8
soldiers marched around them and
blew their trumpets. A good many
people class this as a miracle, but sell
entlsts say 1t was simply one OF the
many phenomena caused by musical
notes. They refer to parallel case
that happened not long ago at Hell
ligenstart, near Leipzig. A music
master of that place was organizing
brass band. One day, as usual, he
gathered his musicians for practice
IN his garden, which was situated at
the foot of the ancient walls Of the
city. Suddenly, while the trumpets
had eached their highest notes, the
walls fell with a terrific crash and
the musicians scattered IN a panic.
There is some scientific reason for
this, but nobody seems to know just
what it is. 1t is not the forceful Vi
bration of air currents, for the de-
tonation Of cannons does not have the
power in this respect that ls exerted
by light musical notes. There is some
peculiar combination of the notes that
cause the ruin Of the walls-some un-
known force that is as powerful as a
blast Of dynamite. 1t is not an un-
usual thing for glass to be shattered
in room where a musicale is being
held and for other remarkable me-
chanical effects to be produced. But
the mechanical effects are not the
only curious results of this unexPlain-
able combination of notes. So many
wonderful things have been produced
by music that it may be rlghttully
classed as one of the mysteries. Nu-
merous Investigations in different
lines of endeavor have been made as
to its power and capabilities and in
nearly every instances the results
have been startling.

A Tramp'S Lecture.

A tramp asked for drink in a sa-
loon. The request was granted, and
when in the act Of drinking the prof
fered beverage one of the young men
present exclaimed:
"Stopl make US speech. 1t is
poor liquor that doesn't unloosen a
mans tongue"
The tramp hastily swallowed down
the drink, and as the rich liquor
coursed through his blood straighten-
ed himself and stood before them Sith
grace and dignity that all his rags
and dirt could not obscure.
Gentlemen" he said, Il look to-
night at you and myself, and it seems
to be that I look upon the picture of
my bIghted manhood. This bloated
face was. once as handsome as yours.
This shambling figure once walked as
proudly as yours, for l was a man in
the world of men. |, too, once had
home and friends and position. l
had wife as beautiful as an artist S
dream, but l dropped the priceless
pearl OF her honor and respect into a
cup of wine, and, Ike Cleopatra, saw
it dissolve, then quatfed it down in
the brimming draught. l had chill
dren sweet and pure as the flowers OF
spring, and saw them tsde and die
under the blighting curse of a drunk
en- father. | had home where love
lit its flame upon the altar and minis
tered before it, but put out the holy
fire and darkness and desolation reign
ed in its stead. l had aspirations and
ambition that scared as high as the
morning star, but l broke and bruised
those beautiful forms and strangled
them that l might hear their cries no
more. Today am husband with
out wife, father without child,
tramp without home, and man in
whom every good impulse Is dead.
All have been swallowed up in the
maelstrom of drink.
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nervous fingers and
was shattered into a thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors were pushed open and shut
again and when the group looked up
the tramp was gone.

Demonstrating the Whale.

A great sensation had been created
by the discovery in r gion not very
far from Newfoundland-to wit, the
Balena whale fsheries-that an en-
terprising and resOurceful scientist
has succeeded in domesticating the
COW. whale. The name of this sci
enlist will so sounding down the
aisles of time. Any man who can
tame a cow-whale and use her output
Of milk for dairy purposes is entitled
10 a rank among the wonders Of the
world This Is what Professor Null
Ter has done, according 10 his own
statement-auI h5 j. a truthful and
no. rable man.
The proud dairyman who gets a
few gallons OF milk day trOm his
prize Jersey must hang his head in
sorrow when he learns that the aver
age product from cow.whale IA from
FIVE to seven hogheads a day Pro-
fessor Muller says SO, aud who can
deny the truth OF his st ,tements ?
Whale milk Is represented to be fresh
and sweet, rich AMI nutritive. 1t is
not waterej, although the cow-whale
has every opportunity to dilute it.
When the adventurous Professor
Muller began to experiment with
cow-whales he found great difficulty
in persuading them to keep still
while being MIXED. The whales
couldn't understa I'd the process. Bul
they like good things to eat-paruc-
ularly sweets. They were lured, a
few at time, into al inlet, where
they were fed with choice whale food.
Then they submitted. The fact Is,
they expressed desire to be MIXED
more often each day than was neces-
Sary. 1t is learned from Professor
Muller that he has now % fine cow
whales in his herd OF mixers, and 90
men are required to milk them.
1t will thus be seen that science is
not standing still, but is steadily
opening new fields of production to
mankind. In time 1t will be the am
bition OF every man who has water
front to own school OF cow-whales.
From what Professor Muller says, can
it be doubted such thing is possible ?
1t is marvellous discovery.

Only a Printers Dream.

A printer sat in his Office chair, his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bare, and his face was weary and worn
with care. While sadly thinking oi
business debts, old Morpheus slowly
around him crept, and before he knew
it he souudly slept; and sleeping be
dreamed that he was dead, from toll
and trouble his spirit had fed, and
not even a cowbell tolled for the peace
full rest Of his hardened soul. AS he
wandered among the shades that smoke
and scorch in the dismal hades, he
shortly observed an iron door that
swung on hinges ajar, but the entrance
was closed with red.hot bar, and
Satan himself was peeping out, wait
ing for travellers thereabout, and thus
to the passing printer he spoke
Come in, my dear, it will cost you
nothing and never fear. This is the
place where l cook the ones who never
pay their subscription sums, for though
in life some escape, when dead it is
too late; l will show you the place
where l melt them thin with redhot
chains and scraps Of tin, and also
where comb their heads with broken
glass and molten leads, and for re-
freshments, only think, there's boiling
water for them to drink, redhot
grindstone to grind their nose, and red.
hot rings to wear on their toes, and if
they mention they don't like fire, l
sew up tteir mouths with redhot wire;
and then, dear sir. you will see them
squirm while l turn them over and
cool to turn.
With these last words the printer
awoke, and thought it all a practical
joke, but still oft times 80 real did it
seem, that he cannot believe it was
all dream and often he thinks with
a chuckle and grin Of the fate Of those
who save their tin aud never pay the
printer.

Tragedy. Not Comedy.

1t is deplorable evidence of the
change in the American character and
habit Of thought OF recent years that
the newspapers Of the country have
been making merry at the downfall
Of Senator Chsuncey NJ. Depew in
connection with the Equitable Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Depew was continually in the
eyes OF the public, mainly as an evan.
escent bubbler, who mistook the sc-
cumulat OF sayings more or less
sclntillaung for genius. He was
continuous story-teller, and while his
stories were not especially bright they
were always clean and good.nstured,
and the Senator from New York
passed, like Abou Ben Adhem, as
one who loved his tellow-men, and
considered It his duty 10 contribute
by all means to then enjoyment. Some
crusty philosopher has said that there
are only three stories IN the world.
and only one OF these can be recited
IN the presence OF women.
1t was the one story which was the
stock IN trade of the New York Sem
ator, and he worked 1t threadbare
through long term OF years. HIS
good nature and Turveydrop deport.
ment brought him fame and fortune.

once contained Roscoe Conkllng.

value IN the economy OF the world,

with less emotion.
The tall OF Chauncey Is almost
personal bereavement 10 those who
smiled with HIM while not admlring
the man tor any OF the qualities he
was not known to possess, but which
he firmly believed he did possess. He
impressed New Workers as great
man, SIMPLY because he was New
Yorker himself and the pet OF the ag-
gregated wealth OF that community.
1t was beyond all possibility that he
should have been shut out from the
good things connected with the man.
agement OF the Equitable Association,
and his graft Of $4,000 per snnum,
If that disagreeable word is to be aP-
piled TO 30 cheerful character, was

The fact that his fall is deserved
does not justify converting the trsg.
edy into text for cynical merriment.
1t is not pleasant to see a cheerful old
man who has passed the allotted time
of human years branded with shame,
or to contemplate the looting Of the
widow and the orphan by one whom
everybody thought was filled to the
throttle with the milk Of human kind.

The story Of Chauncey Depew,
United States Senator, is tragedy,
