.JaekaI Flies of India.

There are certain East Indian flies
several varieties of them apparently of
similar type to our own house favorite
Musca domestica, that have developed
a rather ingenious, if somewhat dis
reputable, way of making living
This is the story told by Captains Pat
ton and Craig in the Indian Journal
of Medical Research. The proboscis
of these flies is soft and not suitable
for piercing the skin of man or the
lower animals. So they hang around
some one of the several types of biting
flies, and when the latter pierces the
skin of victim they crowd him away
and use the incision for feeding them
selves. If the bitter happens to be toe
large or fierce thus to be driven from
his prey, the fly jackals wait until he
is finished and then take his place. In
view OF these observations it seems
quite possible that the SO called non.
biting flies may play a hitherto unslis
pected role in the transmission of dis
ease.

Arithmetic Justice.

Rough and ready justice in Mexico
in the days of President Diaz is illus
trated by the following story:
In lonely part of the south train
had been robbed by the Inhabitants Of
a certain village The president told
a young officer to take Ibis company
and put an end to that sort of thing. "
The young officer had every house
searched Almost all contained stolen
property. He then marshaled the vii
layers. picked out every fortieth man
and had him shot. After this be said:
Il am taking my troops away. but If
any more train robberies take place We
shall come back and shoot every TWEEN
tieth man. Should it be necessary to
return again. every tenth man will be
executed"
No more trains were attacked.

CRY PARKS.

Wausall is certainly rota city of
parks, in fact it owns only two small
ones, one the McIndoe Park, on which
is located tie Free Public Library,
and the other is that which was do
mated by Brown, Winton & Gilbert
in their Forest Park addition. There
was a time when Wausall could have
had three or four large parks for very
little money but it-was impossible to
get an appropriation through the city
council, in fact the council would
hardly have taken one as a gift, SO
little interest was there shown
in earlier days of Wausau. The
Werle park was depuded of its beauti-
full pine trees, cut up into city
lots and sold for eight or ten times as
much as it was offered to the city.
There are several very fine private
parks-the fair grounds, Shooting
Park, Alexander Park and one in the
town of Weston known as the Roths-
child Park. There should be move

Queer People of Eoapua.

In the Girara country, Papua. a dis
trict of New Guinea. where the coun-
try is almost entirely submerged. the
natives are said to claim descent from
the dog. They possess five totems.
which are drawn on all their houses.
Their villages are erected on hillocks
so as to be clear of the water. and the
people of each village inhabit one
large, common house, sometimes as
much as 400 to 500 feet long and 60 to
so feet in width. The center of this
huge building is Kind of common
hall, which is used only by the men.
while the walls of the structure are
divided into cubicles in three or four
floors, access to which is gained by
means of ladders. The women are not
allowed to enter the building by the
same door as the men, A great deal
of sorcery prevails in the western diyi-
sion. In the wilder parts Of the coun-
try the chief is himself a head sorcer-
er. He claims to be able to separate
his spirit from his body and to send 1t
on various missions. including that of
killing people.

contest took place at the high school,
auditorium last Wednesday evening
before crowd. not coming up to the
one which was present at the Girls
declamatory contest but which was
small because of the church cere-
monies which occurred on that even
ing The contest had been postponed
several times and consequently the
winners of last Wednesdays contest
only have two weeks more to work on
their pieces for the league contest
which will be at Grand Rapids.
Eight high school students particl-
pated and as a whole, considering the
speakers and the pieces delivered,
this oratorical contest was one, of the
best ever held here. The judges had
an exceptionally hard time awarding
the first three places and there were
two rerankings before things were ar
ranged satisfactorily The victori-
Gus Grafton was sThe Cross of GoldH
which was given by Frank Rowley,
the second was "Antoneo Maceon by
Albert Mohr and third place vas
awarded to Roderick Mcdonald with

deserving of credit, for to deliver
orations such as the ones were deliv-
cred last Wednesday evening, takes a
lot of hard work and continuous prac.
