BAN1sHING THE FLIES.

Chief Health officer Levy has issued
new sanitary regulations for stables.
as the first gun in his campaign
against the fly nuisance. He will
hereafter require stable keepers to
dispose of the waste from their places
regularly and he will demand strict
adherence to definite sanitary precau-
lions. His standards will be high, but
necessary and he will require more OF
the stable-proprietors in the future,
because some of them have done too
little in the past.
The new regulations are issued be-
cause without them every effort to
Danish flies from Richmond would be
useless. Experience has shown that
the stable is the natural home of the
fly. He breeds best In stable waste
and fattenS quickly where his move
lnents are undisturbed by stable boys.
1t follows inevitably that flies can
never be overcome until all stables are
kept in clean ard sanitary condi-
ton. New York tried the experiment
few Years ago, and after many at
tempts found that clean stables meant
few flies, Rules We're laid down and
rigidly enforced which kept flies from
breeding in stables, and, as result,
reduced the hios in New York by at
least seventy-tive per cent.
1t is needless for DR. Levy or for
anyone else TO tell the public at this
late day that the fly nuisance is a
great menace to the health of the
people, for II the newspapers did no
other public service last summer, they
preached crusade against flies and
convinced the people that the Nv was,

There was no reason why he should
have sought to escape the payment OF
duty on the goods he and his wife

He had been Governor of his State.
He was accounted by all his netghbors

him chance to amend his declaration
and he added few items; but, still
thinking that he might cheat the Gov
eminent, he withheld other dutiable
articles, swearing all the time that he
had made a full statement of his be-
longings. He was then arrested and
on Friday he pleaded guilty and was
fined $4,000. He ought to have been

TuN1cs FOR WOMEN.

n The Delineator is one of the most
esteemed of our contemporaries, be-
cause it tells us so much about tho
ing some valuable suggestions about
skirts for women who have passed
their first youth or litheness," and
says that they Should never be too
short" Tho advice does not apply, OF
course, to the condition in Virginia.
because the women OF this State never
pass their first youth, and, as rule.
they are Just as spry at eighty as the
most robustious of red-headed widows
in Texas are at forty, or sixteen.
Then, The Delineator has something
should be worn. II advises that the
tunc should be worn quite long, and
should dip down in the back and
should run around the figure. lest.
worn otherwise, it cut off the height
and make the wearer look dumpy."
Continuing, our contemporary OBJ
serves:
"on the whole, tunics are a safer
subject for aiddle-aged women than
for stout ones. There is one type of
! tunic that a woman should never use
| If she is at all clumsily built It's the
one with straight overskirt reaching
about to the knees. The waist, the
tunic and the underskirt cut the, wo-
man into three almost equal parts and
the effect is decidedly grotesque."
Now we know that The Delineator
was not writing for the women of
Virginia. There are no stout women
here or any that could be called
"middle-aged." judging by their hooks
and we have never seen one. except
those who were only passing through
that was "at all clumsily built" They
are not made after that pattern in
| Virginia. There are crowds of clum-
| silly built women in New York and
Boston and Philadelphia and Chicago.
That is why Miss White gives a dem
onstration" every year in New York,
showing how a pound of flesh can be
curried down here and a mass of fat
shaved off there so that by working
them up and down and around and
about and across and betwixt they are
straight in front and always presenta-
Bile from whatever point of view.
Fortunately, such aids are not re-
CURED in Richmond and in Virginia,
where none of the women is clursi-
TX built, because the act of building
implies some handworls of man, but
where they are Just as kind Provi-
dence fashioned them and where they
look we'll in any old thing; the most

him for his office. while remembering
that in other days he sweat at the

have dealt gently with him there and
would have applauded him on prin-

none of this. If he spoke at all. it

IN consent of the new government
for the Incorporation of num-
Der of the remote suburbs into the
the effect of raising the population. o
over million. The scheme for the
improvement OF The capital also in
cludes the construction of a ragniit-
cent boulevard mile long and loo
feet wide. II is TO bear the name of the
Gran Via. Its starting point is to be
the present Plaza de san aIarcial, which
is to be renamed Plaza dc Espana and
to be surrounded by magnificent build
ings. while in the centre there is to be
a great statue Of ceryantes. the I'M
mortal creator of Don Quixote." The
construction of this boulevard means
the elimination OF no l. SIS than nine
teen narrow streets, and the radical
alteration of thirty-two others. also
the razing to the ground OF a number
of old buildings, including the ancient
convent OF San Placide. with its Won
derful tower and clock presented by
Philip ".
New buildings are springing UP
everywhere at Madrid. The postal and
telegraph departments are shortly
to be housed in a stately edjfce just
opposite the Bank of Spain. The i'm
mense new Hotel Ritz, which is to OPP
en- in the fall. is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, facing the Prado Museum
while two of the great Paris dry
goods emporiums, the I'rintemps and
the Bon Marche. are also putting up
buildings of the most imposing char
acter.
In one word. Don Alfonso XIII. is
completely undermining his neon
veniently placed metropolis. which was
selected as the capital OF Spain, not
because 1t was easy of access, but
merely hecause 1t happened to be the
precise centre of the Kingdom.
