Keep Cases OF the FLY.

Look out for the fly. Some
fellow who has been keeping
watch of the buzzer says that
one fly on the Goth Of March is
represented by 300 on the Oath
of April. The 800 become 90,
900 by May %, and by August
8 the number has been squared
twice, making the total progency
amount to the appalling number
of 800, 100000.
The house fly lays eggs, the
flesh fly or bluebottle produces
living larvae. Surprising fe-
male to produce fifty young, a
very small estimate and half Of
those to be females, "a single
season would see one bluebottle
turn into 50S,0OO,OO0 of flesh
devouring insects.

ed up offers some consolation,

some to get rid of the flies
But we should not trust to nature
in this instance. With that blue
bottle and his 100000 child

The Old EnaIish lumber

The old-fashioned English tumbler,
which insisted on reverting to an erect
position, no matter how frequently IL
was knocked over, possessed merits.
This was the original form of drinking
tumbler-hence the name. They were
made of thin horn and weighted with
a Dubious mass at the bottom. This.
idea of their use was double one.
The old drinking custom required that
the ale should be drunk at a draft
for its presence In the tumbler would
cause it to overbalance and spill its
contents-and there was the advan
tage possessed by the tumbler of not
rolling out of reach when knocked
about during orgies.

A CORRECTION.

A few weeks age the PILOT con-
tanned an article concerning G. Baro-
nowski who was recently elected JUS
tice of the peace at Norrie in which it
was stated that inasmuch as he
could not prove his citizenship, his
vote was not accepted and he had no
right to enter upon such an office, etc.
Mr.. Baronowski writes to the PILOT,
that it was wrong in its statements,
and we cheerfully publish his expla-
nation: He says Il was, for certain
reasons, debarred from the rights of
citizenship for a year, and at the end
of that time regained them through
the governor of the state, over two
years ago. Further, | was not elected
Justice of the peace for the town OF
Pike Lake but of Norrie; my vote
was not refused" The PILOT's in
tention is to treat everyone fairly ano
regrets that the matter was wrongly
reported.

New Clothes.

THE PILOT comes to its readers this
week in new ''togs,o or, as is known
in print shop parlance, new dress.
The gods of fate have been lenient
with us, and have not caused the sign,
Busted" to be nailed across our
door. Therefore we have been en-
abled, through various working agen-
cieS, to secure new type. We admire
style, and it was originally our inten-
tion to bring out our new dress at the
time the Easter bonnets appeared,
but we found at that time that it
was necessary, in order to meet our
obligations with the type foundry,
to pat a few more delinquent sub
scribers on the back, and remind them
that they were carrying around some
of our money.
The old type which has given sery-
ice for about dozen years, has been
consigned to the shell box" 1t will
eventually go into the melting pot
and will be made into new type faces.
Some of it may find its way back to
this Office. Some may go to the island
OF Madagascar for ought we know
st any rate we bid it adieu with
tears of regret, for it is like parting
with an old friend. At the same
time we welcome the new metal and
trust that its weekly message may
bring cheer to our patrons.
We are not in the habit of footing
our horn-only fish peddlers and brag-
CARTS do that-but we must say that
with the new dress we will endeavor
each week to chronicle all the import
ant happenings of city and county,
and give to our subscribers clean,
readable paper, and merit continue
ance of an increasing subscription list.

A TRANSPORTATION.

We, have been informed that great
work is going on in the Dancy drain
age district. One large dredge and
two smaller ones are at work digging
channels for the drainage OF the lands.
The main channel is sixty feet wide;
the laterals are narrower. At the rate
the work is progressing now it is said
the job will be completed in less time
than was first anticipated.
1t is claimed by some that when the
land is drained this district will be
the garden spot of Wisconsin. In its
present state it is tamarack swamp
for the most part. The soil is black
muck. In some places this soil is
eight feet in depth. Experiments
have been made with it and IT has
been demonstrated that q luxurious

To THE PUBLIC t:

IL IHE L DBLlC.
Wednesday, May 18th, at 3 O'Clock
p. M, the first game in this city, in
the Minnesoes- Wisconsin league, will
be called.
Wausau can do nothing better dur
ing this year that will prove a better
advertising medium, than to help
make this league success and the
greatest factor in making this success
is big attendance on the opening
day. 1t is reported that even in MolPs
trolley league, some of the towns
had an attendance, reaching in some
instances, to nearly five thousand.
Believing that every good citizen
should do all that lies in his power to
make the first game record breaker,

aside the cares of business and labor
and look upon next Wednesday after
noon as a half holiday and attend the
game It is to be hoped that every
store, manufacturing establishment,
