 THE FLY CAMPAIGN.

ft ts pretty good Idea to carry the war on flies into their own territory namely. out of doors. A big step along shis line may be made by putting the accommodations Of horse manure Tn the stable in some screened bin where the fiies cannot have access 10 Ii. as this is the chief breeding place for tbe house. fly. If this Is mol feasible the same object can be accomplished hy scatter. fng slaked lime over the dung pile ev. cry few days. Thousands of the flies that swarm near the back door will eeaaregate elsewhere if all garbage srat slops are put Iii covered reeepta
 -sss at some distance from the kitchen sese. while those that do gather there Rsy be killed by placing formalln so. sIttou two teaspeonfuls io n pint of wa
 ef, an shallow dishes Just outside the toor snd sweetentng the solution with iistic sugar This fly killer Ia to be sonfnsended because it is cheap and Is harmless if tho little folks should drink soute of it The same solution can be staced In saneees in the house and yse work of exterminatloa completed.

Weddino Ring Mottoss.

When posies or notices inscribed inside wedding rings were first intro duced does not seem to be known. but from the sixteenth century until the middle of the eighteenth 1t was customary 10 have them engraved on rings These notices seldom consist. ed of more than two lines of verse, often of only one. but there are few Instances known where three lines were used. Some of these pcsiea nre very quaint and curious. and . few reach high standard of poetic beauty. The South Kensington mu- scum has a good collection of posy rings. and among them are the fol. lowing inscriptions: United hearts death only parts;'' Let us share in joy and eare:" Love and live hap pity ."-London Standard.

During The past year or two folks in North Dakota have been biting very hard on the grocery peddler's bait Briefly. tue agent goes through the country districts. shows excellent sam pies of staple groceries and on the strength of these takes orders. Later those who have ordered goods are sent notices that on u certain day the car containing the groceries will be at the depot. When the purchases arrive the patrons are told that the distribut- ing agent Is in n great hurry and that the railway folks have ordered the car of the sidetrnck within a specified time This means that the stuif bought Is loaded on to the wagon without careful inspection. On arriving home the housewife looks into the purchases and finds. along with some fairly good ktnff. n lot that ls cheap and shoddy- eoel denl cheaper than the price paid These chaps never visit the same place second time, as their victims usually remember their pre- vious experience However. in the Dakota ease there was another goo
 reason The state pure food commi
 soner got after these fakers aud found that the bulk of the stuif sold was In direct violation of the pure food law. which seeks to prevent the adul- teratlen of food products. when the fines assessed against them soon out ran their profits The same game has been tried in other states with about the same results. II would seem that it was about time for rural inhabitants to get wise to the game
