SWEET CHARITY IN PARIS.

Charity must be in a bad way in
Paris, if we accept the statement of a

Here is what he writes:
"This is the result of the entertain.

benefit of the Sicilians: Out of $780,
900 made, $4,000 was deducted for ex-
penses. A fete was given not long ago
which was we'll attended. Every bene-
fit in aid of victims is always well at

was taken for expenses. You know
that a lawsuit was brought against a
commission which had orders to take
money to the victims of the eruption of
Mount Pelee in Martinique. 1t was
found that not cents on the dollar
was given to the victims. When there
are such catastrophies it would be well
to send for a Diogenes with his Ian
tern to seek out and find an honest
man in whose care one could place the
money so generously given. Just
think of all the mites of the widows in
cluded in those millions! They would
have accomplished something better
had the widows kept them for their
own needs"

A screen for electrocuting flies Is

much amusement. A device Of this
description was made by Chicago
man and was found to work admirably.
The Green was made with the wires
running in one direction connected to
one terminal of small dynamo and
the cross wires connected to the other
terminal. The two sets of wires were
insulated from each other. AS soon
as the legs of the fly come in contact
with the wires of the screen the in

and painlessly.
