Mo EIles on bohemia.

This consulate has from time to
time received letters from manufac-
turers Of various sorts Of fly paper
In the United States who wish to
extend their trade. These letters
have been fully answered, giving the
names and addresses Of local dealers,
and also the various sorts of Amert-
can and other fly paper sold here.
It Ia not possible to work up an ex-
tensiye trade In Bohemia as there are
not sufficient flies to eIterminate. In
most Of the dining rooms during the
course of a meal perhaps three or
four flies appear during the season.
In restaurants there are very few
flies.
Here screen doors to keep out flies
and other insects are unknown. The
buildings are all constructed of brick,
stone or concrete. The docks along
the river front are of granite. The
pavements and sidewalks are made
of granite blocks. There are no
wooden sidewalks, stairways or build
ings In the city. Decayed vegetable
or animal matter is not openly ex-
posed to flies, and the streets are fire.
quently cleaned during each day.
There are no open drains in the city
to attract and breed flies. I can only
ascribe the absence of flies to the lack
of breeding places.-Consular and

DESTROY THE STORKS
IN GERMANY THEY ARE CONSID-
Erred ENEMIES OF SPORT. d.
,eludlce Is Resulting In Their Sys-
tematic Slaughter In Parts Of the
Fatherland, and the Birds Are g.,
Rapidly Being Trimmed Out.

No one who has any delight In
Hans Andersen's tales can hear
unmoved that the stork has fall
en- upon evil times. Four years
ago it was noticed that they were:
building less on Turkish house-tops
and their diminishing numbers were
regarded by the superstitious Otto7
mans as an evil omen for the future
If the race in Europe, On leaving
Europe at the end Of summer, they
seem to penetrate far down the In
terror of Africa. One that had been
caught and marked in Prussia was
captured In Natal, near Colenso..
Whether the disappearance Of wild
animals from South Africa before the
advance of the settlers also affects the
Storks is question not yet settled,
However that may be. attention Is
being drawn anew to their dWindling
numbers in Alsace, now that they are,
getting ready to leave for the south.
German scientists have ascertained
that they are also getting fewer IN
the Palatinate, Hesse, and Franconia.
The country people are making va
liant efforts to maintain the numbers
Of their visitors by placing artificial
nests on the roofs of their houses, and
sven by feeding them artificially.
But the storks in Germany have to
contend with prejudice most diff
acult to eradicate. They are looked
upon as enemies of sport. 1t is true
that they sometimes raid the families
of hares or find their food in ponds
well stocked with fish. But the dam
age they do in this way Is negligible
In comparison with the great boon
they confer on farmers by destroying
mice and moles.
If we we are to believe the German
pathological paper. "Mitteilungen
uber die Vogelwelt," bad example
In the treatment Of this useful bird
has been set in high places. The
Grand Duke of Oldenburg Is said to
have given orders for the curtailing of
the number of storks in his state
Fifty per cent. of them are to be shot
down. By depriving the female birds
Of their. male admirers, the Grand
Duke hopes to "cut down the BIRTH
rate" The German paper containing
this announcement protests against a
barbarity which deprives villages OF
their old-established guests, but 1t
adds that similar cases are reported
from Upper Franconia, where the
owners of sporting estates are actual
ly compelling the peasants to remove
the storks' nests perched on their cot
tage roofs.
The paper appeals to the public to
put stop to this work Of destruction
In Alsace happily such brutal methods
are unknown. There the bird which
symbolizes such venerable traditions
Is treated with universal respect.

Couldn't Stand for Wager.


Baylis Steele. capitalist and promo
ter, one day became involved in dis
pute over a question Of Biblical his
tory.
Elijah was a lucky man." he re-
marked. Instead of being compelled
to Hnger and die of some unpleasant
disease, he was carried to heaven In
q whirlwind."
You're wrong" protested the party
Of the second part, who happened to
be afflicted with an impeachment in his
speech. "Bay-Bay-lis, you're r-r-r-
wrong. Elijah went to heaven IN a
chariot of fire."
"You can't convince me that that
good old man was struck by lighting"
retorted Steele, and the dispute Waxed
warm. After 1t had ragged for some
three minutes 1t reached the betting
stage.
"Bet you I'm right" said Steele.
"T-t-t-taken," said the party Of the
second part.
"What'll we bet?" asked Steele.
"W-w-w-well," suffered the other,
seeing that you d-d-d-don't know any
m-m-m-more about Scripture than you
do. I g-g-g-guess 1t had b-b-b-5etter
be a-a-a Bible" And Steele admits
that right there he backed out.

Her Course.

An Episcopalian deaconess, W. o
had been recounting some Of her TX
periences as a missionary In Chi IA,
said: 81 was talking to a Chin csc
convert one day. and somehow the
conversation turned to fashion,. I
told him something about the con-
slant changes of fashion In our part
of the world and described some OF
THE styles Of dress worn by American
women. There is one good thing
about your Chinese costumes ! re-
marked, they are not subject to
change Not often he admitted.
but they do change somewhat from
time to time. especially the cut Of
sleeves. But you-does the fashion
Of your dress ever changer Never
I laughed. 7 wear this black habit
year in and year out and mean to
wear 1t always He looked at me
wonderingly for q moment and then
said with a note Of sincere admira-
ton in his tone: All. how you must
love your faith to be willing always
to make yourself look as you do"

Needle in a Haystack.

"a bottle of hay was formerly
much used In Derbyshire, England,
and probably Is SO still, to denote a
bundle of hay, which was taken from
a rick to fodder cattle in field. When
1t was difficult to find anything that
had been lost, the farmer folk were
wont to say: "You may as we'll hunt
for it as for a needle In bottle of
hay"
Sometimes the rope tied round the
hay had piece Of wood with an eye
in it at one end, through which the
rope was passed to tie up the bundle,
and a sharp point at the other end,
and this piece of wood may have been
called a needle; If 80, needle of this
kind may have been referred to IN

by retinue of orientalIy CARRIED walt
ers and carefully placed in front of the
guest of honor, who eyed 1t curiously.
While the other diners were waiting
for the fifteenth course the general
proceeded to make away with the al
most priceless delicacy. while scores
of Chinese, peeking in through the
doors and windows on the unusual
scene, gazed In admiration and won
derment.
After eating the egg, which was as
black as charcoal, the general leaned
over to c. F. Yin, his secretary. and
whispered in his ear while broad
smile played over his features. The
proprietor Of the cafe informed the
general before serving the historic
hen fruit that he wasn't taking any
chances, as 1t was just as fresh as
If laid yesterday. despite the fact
that 1t had been in a state Of preser-
walton a lifetime before Washington
crossed the Delaware.
The banquet was one of the most
elaborate, as we'll as unusual, ever
given in Los Angeles. and congenial-
ity reigned supreme from the first to
the twenty-eighth or so course Of rare
and interesting edibles.
Following are few OF the yiands on
the menu: Rock moss soup. sharks
fms. bundle OF wood with mushrooms.
duck and bamboo shoots BIRDS nest,
lotus nuts, broiled LAB chop suey,
spring blossom rolls, chicken fried
with almonds. smoked oysters stewed
with vegetables.
Other dishes highly priced by the
Chinese epicures were served. All OF
them were prepared in true Chinese
fashion, but they were served In
American style. in courses, instead OF
Chinese fashion, which is for every
thing to be placed on the table at
once and all be served from large
bowls.
The big ban was put on chop sticks,
and knives, forks and spoons were
used by the diners to make way with
the good things to eat Rare Chinese
wines Of ancient vintage and OF great
value were there in abundance. For
dessert there was candied ginger, pre-
served nuts, picked fruits and vart-
GUS kinds of sweetmeats.-Los An

Port In the Ocean.

"When the harbor at Cape Lookout
off the North Carolina coast is COM
pleted the means for which were pro-
yided by the last session Of congress,
Beaufort and that part of the Caro-
lima coast will be the most important
point on the South Atlantic coast"
said E. J. Rogers, a railroad man or
Beaufort, at the Raleigh.
1.-THE work has already begun, sur
veys now being under way. This
harbor when completed will give ves-
sells a safe port practically IL the
ocean, Cape Lookout being about ten
miles from the mainland. 1t will un-
questionably be the most available
harbor on the Atlantic coast
Beaufort has a harbor that will &C
commodate vessels Of any draught,
but the bar at the entrance to the
harbor keeps away ships drawing
more than twenty feet. Before the
war Beaufort harbor was the largest
port on the south Atlantic coast, but
it has done comparatively little since
the war."-Washingto Post.

"Horny-Headed Romanry.

How a prominent Missouri farmer
was scratched" by the tillers Of the
soil in his race for governor Of Mis-
souri,, shortly after the war, is told
by one who was there and knew how
1t all happened.
"This man." said the narrator the
other day, was one Of the most prom
inent farmers and cattle raisers in
the state. I shall not use his name.
He was running on the 'greenback'
ticket. Some place he had heard the
humble agrculturists referred to as
'horny-handed yeomanry.'
'tThis phrase was just to his liking,
and he thought it would please the
farmers to be referred to as horny
handed yeomanry.' And 1t might
have done so had he not somewhat
twisted the appellotion in his attempt
to use it.
"There are no grander set of men
in this great state Of ours he said
at his first big meeting Of farmers
than you horny-headed romanry."
But that was too much for the farm
ers. The candidate was scatched.-
