strange c.rao FROM the Amazon.

One Of the stransest cargoes a yes
sci could possibly have was unloaded at
the London docks toward the close Of
March. says the Scientific American. 1t
consisted Of several sacks filled with
dried flies. consigned TO large firm of
grain merchant.
These flies. originating in Brazil. have
been purchased for use in the manu.ac-
ture OF food for chickens. cage birds
and the like. They were caught on the
river Amazon by Brazilians, who travel
up the river In hatsbottomed boats and
who are provided with gauzc nets. with
which they capture these insects In
millions. as flies hover insdonse clouds
over many of the swampy reaches OF
the Amazon.
The flies thus caught are killed.
dried in the sun, and then placed in
sacks. Upon arrival in. London they
are mixed with millet and other grain
and are sold as chicken food, etc. Some
time ago the Brazilian government,
fearing that the fish in the Amazon
river would be starved. forbade the ex-
portation of flies: hence the price Of
this strange commodity. which used to
be Cd per pound, has now risen to Is
Cd per pound. and often little more.

THE sELF-RELIANT MAN.
L the One Most in Demand in This
Busy Day and Gen.
Grafton.

Haven't you depended upon clothes
upon appearances, upon introductions
upoh recommendations about long
enough? haven't you leaned about
long enough on other things? Isn't il
about time for you to call a halt tc
tear OF all masks. to discard every
thing you have been leaning on outside
of yourself. and depend upon your own
worth? writes O. s. Marden, In Success
Magazine.
Haven't you been in doubt about
yourself long enough? Haven't you had
enough unfortunate experiences de-
pending upon superficial. artificial, out
side things to drive you home to the
real power IL yourself? Aren't you
tired of leaning and borrowing and
depending upon this thing and that
thing which have failed you?
The man who learns to seek power
within himself. who learns to rely
upon himself, is never disappointed; /;
but he always will be disappointed
when he depends upon any outside
help. There is one person in, the world
that will never fail you II you depend
upon him, and are honest with him;
and that Is yourself.
1t is the self-reliant man that is in
demand everywhere.
