THE PESTIFERoUs FLY

Leigh Hunt spoke of My Uncle Toby
in Tristan Shandy' as the "quint-
essence of the milk of human kind
ness" and all beca"oe My Uncle TOBY
took a drowning fly out of his glass or
water and said something to this eff
feet: Live, little fly; there is room
in this world for both thee and me-"
There is very much the same senti-
ment in pretty couple of stanzas
which saves a certain William OldyS
of nearly two centuries ago from
oblivion:
Busy, curious thirsty fly!
Drink with me and drink as l;
Freely welcome to my cup,
Couldst thou sip and sip II up.
Make the most of life you may,
Life is short and wears away
But such attenuated sentiments sim
ply will not do for that realm of
actual things in which flies and suf-
fering humanity bear such uncongen-
ial relations.
fly is much better: "Have 1 three
kingdoms and thou must needs fly
into my eyer" In this apostrophe one
has the very inner mystery of the fly
he is always in the wrong place.
With plenty of room elsewhere, he is
forever getting in a mans eye or buz-
zing around nervous ear. or making
merry with some otner sensitive Dit
Of exposed anatomy. A fly is an i'm
pertinence in the scheme of nature.
There might be some place where he
would not be an annoyance, but he
never goes there.
And yet, the indictment against the
fly is not confined to the simple mis-
demeanor of being aggravating. There
is a felony count in the indictment.
The fly is a dangerous nuisance, an
enemy to public health as well as a
disturber of the peace. In truth,
there is nothing likable about the fly.
He has no extenuating characters
tics. He has no redeeming traits. HUI
manity, "plundered, profaned and
disinherited," should decide on the
determination of his kind. The war
should be bloody, vengeful and re-
lentless. Let it be "to the knife and
knife to the hilt.'' Down with the ny!

would amount merely to anarchy like
that of the Paris Commune, and as
this is its whole purpose it loses much
of its force as a novel. 1t is more in

the fourth edition of Presbreys Guide

with. very happy subtitle of The
Badeker of the Ocean," This little
brochure of 108 pages with colored in

transatlantic lines, the new 1nterna-
tional signal code and weather flags, is
replete with just the information that
every traveller wants. Not the least in
teresting features are harbor maps of
all important Atlantic ports.
You can ascertain what Happened
to Barbara" by reading the book of
that name by Olive Thorne Miller-and
any boy or girl will enjoy its perusal,
too. This is the newest in the series
of Juveniles by this clever writer and
1t is full of delightful incidents and cpl
sodes. OF course nothing direful hap
pens to Barbara, but the various occur
rences often prove fascinating.

The gala attire of the Indians was
source of amusement to the Europeans.
DR.. Chanca says:
When these Indians wish to ap-
pear full-dressed, both men and wo-
men paint themselves, some black.
others white and red, and different
combinations of colors, in so MANY
devices that the effect produced is
very laughable; they also shave some
parts of their heads, and in other parts
of 1t wear long tufts of matted hair,
which give them an indescribably
ridiculous appearance. In short what
ever would be looked upon in our coun-
try as characteristic Of a madman is
here regarded by the most prominent
Indians as mark of distinction"
A great part of this Letter is taken
up with subjects which appeal to a
man of his profession. He catalogues
in valuable form minerals, grains,
fruits. and many kinds of flora which
caused him wonder, as he wrote,
whether his frineds at home would be-
lieve him. The reports from natives
and from exploring parties of vast
quantities of gold in the islands form
the climax to his narrative.
This surely" he concludes, "their
highnesses the king and queen may
henceforth regard themselves as the
most prosperous and wealthy sover-
eigns on earth. because never vet.
since the creation of this world has
such thing been seen or read of. On
the return of the ships on the next
voyage they certainly will be able to
carry back such a quantity of gold as
will fill with amazement all who hear
of it."

"In the morning several detachments
of our men under their respective cap
tains started in different directions.
One of the parties returned at the din
ner hour with a boy about fourteen
years of age, who said he was one of
the prisoners taken by these people.
Another detachment brought in a little
boy whom a man was leading by the
hand, but he left him and fled. This
boy was sent on board Immediately
with some of our men. Other de-
tachments remained away longer, and
brought along with them several wo-
men, natives of this island, together
with other women from among the
captive ones, who came willingly and
of their own accord. The captain of
another detachment of six men, not
knowing that we already had informa-
tion about the inhabitants of this ISL
and, advanced farther away into the
interior and all were lost. They could
not find their way back to the coast
until after four days"

customs of the natives among whom
this party was lost, customs which
caused friends of the party many an
anxious moment.

says, "as they can take away alive
they bring here to their homes to
make feast of them, and those who
are killed in battle they eat up after
the fighting is over. They claim that
the flesh of man is so good to eat that
nothing like it can be compared to it
in the world; and this is pretty evident,
for of the human bones we found in
their houses everything that could be
gnawed had already been gnawed, so
that nothing else remained of them
but what was too hard to be eaten. In
