NO FIXES ON RICHMOND.

Owing to the vigilance of Or. Levy, chief health
officer of the city. the places at which flies
have been in the habit Of congregating and
creating a nuisance know them no longer.
For many years the inhabitants of Richmond
and other places have been worried, bothered
and almost led into coarse language by the pes
tlferous insect
From early in the morning, when one wishes
to take the second nap, after the alarm clock
has announced in nsty tones the rising of the
sun. until the going down OF the same, there
have been many imprecations hurled at the busy
fly Not only have imprecations been hurled,
but such plebeian things as socks, nndershirts,
shoes and mucage bottles been sent after the
elusive musca domestica-
History does not record one incident in which
the wieIder of the pebeian articles ever won
victory.
No one can with truth state that he ever cav
any but full-grown musca domestica They
are all full-grown. They probably hibernate,
but history is blank this point.
At any rate, Dr Levy has solved the problem,
and The Yfrginian dares anyone to come TO the
front and say that there are as many flies In
Richmond now as there were when the per
sistent doctor started on his crusade. He ex-
perimented by urging all the youngsters In our
midst to swat the fly. The cry was taken up
all over the country. and youngsters who were
too tired or too sleepy to swat the kindling for
breakfast hit the fly In the solar plexus and
gathered him in
Dir Levy says he has personal knowledge
of the slaughter OF 1854 .546.711 flies In his own
back ward, The actual measurement OF his
back yard IA something like 12x13 feet. II that
many flies may be caught in that space. what
might It be In the markets and places where
food for the flies is spread?
Fly traps have been installed In the markets.
Homes have them. The youngsters are still
swatting and with this combination, together
with the most important fact that the house
keeper is starving the fly by covering the refuse
and household matter. there are fewer flies IN
Richmond now than anywhere else.

Art and Indecency"

Discussing the famous painting, September
Morn, and the propriety OF exhibiting photo
graphic reproductions thereof in public places,
the Savannah Press says:
zone thing is certain, art cannot be measured
by yard stick The slit skirt may be ruled
out of decent society II proper people so de-
eide. but art is not easy TO manage. There
will always be pictures which seem indecent
to some and high art to others. Probably
much that passes for art is merely the
meretricious appeal of the painter whose mas
terry of art goes no farther than skill with his
brush. but to score these efforts out and brand
pictures rashiy with "indecency'' would stfe
and restrict art wholly.
1t is nevertheless fact that the average.
every day individual is not fitted either by edu-
cation or artistic temperament to appreciate
a high order of painting from standpoint OF
Inspiration, technique or execution All that
the commAp eyes behold is the scene thing
that the picture effectively represents-not so
much it's delicate lines and shadings-not SO

of which it is the product. And so when pho

the Savannah Press refers, is proposed 90 be
scattered widespread through the mails or con-
spicuously displayed at the front of city stores

MAKING THINGS EASY.

Parents of youthful prodigics of learning have
been RECALLING us Of late years with the story
of how they taught their children to read write
ana spell almost as az they learned to
talk, and how they taught them through the
period of their early youth unt they entered
college at eleven or twelve years of age.
The keynote of 1t all has been play" The
children learned as they played knowledge was
made entertaining and attractive; never did work
enter In.
Agnes Repprier. in the Atlantic Monthly, does
not regard this tendency, which is not confined
to the parents OF young genius, az an unmixed
blessing In our educational system, she says,
the idea of work is discouraged. The word task
is avoided, and "a royal road to learning has
been discovered" The world seems to have

highest thing on earth" and that children need

do not want to do II 1t be thing that needs

relating to the protection of wild birds" This
official of the Royal society that the bill Is
the work of a committee which had before ii

The British measure will do exactly what the
Irnderw God clause would do. and it has the high

the house. Thereupon Senator Simmons, in be-
half of the finance committee announced his
