determination of this pest, just when
the few stray ones are beginning to
appear. The killing of one now may
mean the killing of many later on. Be
gin today.
The following suggestions may be of
value:
Sprinkle the garbage cans with lime
or kerosene, and keep them constantly
covered.
Do not allow decayed vegetables or
other material to accumulate. Keep
your premises clean.
Be careful that all doors and windows
are screened.
Screen all food if it is not possible
to keep the flies from it any other way.
To kill flies in the house, dissolve 31S
grains of bichromate of potash in ten
ounces of water. 1t should be sweet
ened with sugar and placed in shallow
dishes throughout the house. This ma
terial is cheap, can be purchased at the
drug store.
Another anti-fy mixture is one part
formaldehyde (formalin) and four parts
of water. If this preparation is placed
in tins or saucepans about the house,
it will prove very effective, as it at
tracts the flies, and kills them instantly
There are other ways, but these are
simple ones and do not call for much
time or trouble, but if they get too
numerous a folded newspaper and a
little physical exercise will do wonders.
Try it.

employed simply as an assistant and
not entitled to any interest in his in
ventions.
From this time forward Severance
was conscious that Cover was watch

The assistant knew the main ingre-
dents Of the composition, but the one
substance without which the union
was incomplete he did not know. One
day while Severance was at work

in all the ingredients, substituting for
the uniting substance another than the
correct one. An expression Of joy came
over the face in the mirror.
After this Severance conceived a
dread of his assistant. One day he
gave his daughter a bit of paper with
a single word written on 1t and told
her to put it away in little trinket
box she had and to be extremely care
full as to its preservation.
One day Fanny Severance was star
tied by the sound Of an explosion in
the laboratory. Every drop of blood
left her face instantly. Rushing into
the laboratory, her worst fears were
realized. Her fathers body was lying
on the floor so dlsfigured that he was
scarcely recognizable. Cover followed
her. He was pale and trembling

But the girl did not hear him. She
had swooned. He carried her into the
house and ministered to her till she
came back to consciousness. Then he
left her.
Fanny Severance and William Clarke

eXpectedly cut off from the dowry they
had expected at their wedding. But
the young man showed no disappoint-
ment to the girl he loved, and they
were married soon after her fathers
death.
Cover put the laboratory in order

M en- and Missions.

The Chicago Auditorium is famous
place for all kinds of gatherings, but
the 5000 delegates who expect to rally
there, May SO, will represent some
thing wholly unique in the history of
public assemblies Three years ago the
Christian laymen of different denomi-
nations in the United States and Canada
organized what is called the Laymen' S
Missionary Movement, and they are just
finishing remarkable campaign in rs
cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
The enthusiasm in some places has
been extraordinary. In New York
over 5000 men attended the closing mass
meeting in the Hippodrome. The Wash
ington gathering was almost in
ternational in its scope. Chief
Forester Pinchot was chairman of
the local committee and president Taft,
Ambassador Bryce and two Canadians
were among the speakers. In Pittsburg
500 checks had to be returned for seats
at the banquet, as the demand exceeded
the supply. Two governors of states
were delegates to the st. Louis meeting,
at the close of which several business
men came forward and pledged $1,000
each for promoting mission work
throughout the world Oklahoma City
outvied many eastern cities in both
numbers and enthusiasm, saying they
would show the world that oklahoma
is making great strides not only in in
dustrial lines but also in spiritual mat
ters." In Memphis the total paid reg
istration was 1855. In New Orleans
there was not room in the convention
hall for all who wished to attend. The
array of speakers was one of the most
notable ever seen in the South. includ-
ing Korean prince.
So the campaign is moving on through
Nebraska, Colorado and Utah to the
Pacific Coast, gaining momentum at
every point, and the grand finale is
scheduled for Chicago early in May.
