A ElX Town.

San Vicente, Mexico, is a community
Of fly catchers. 1t lies in the Sierra
Madre mountains and its industry con.
sists in catching flies for a European
market where compressed fly cakes
are used as bird food. The Mexicans
harvest their crop on a marsh which
breeds millions Of black flies some
what larger than the common house
fly. During the seaso the poems go
among the swarms of insects with nets.
Each catch is emptied into a bag and
at the end of the day the bags are
emptied into a box which is also a
press. A cover is placed on it and
pressed down and weighted with heavy
stones. After "a hours the contents
are pressed into a layer. This is cut
into six-inch cubes and dried in the
sun and is then ready for export. A
special tariff on the importation of
these cakes is levied by Germany,
where most of them go. The San
Vincente community almost lives on
this unique industry.-Technical

And away they started in the Whiz

Before they had rolled along for half
a mile through the town, the machine
suddenly began to breathe fast and
then, all of a sudden, it choked up and

CHlNTz NEEDS GREAT CARE
Precautions Must Be Taken When
There Is Need Of Washing This
Delicate Fabric.

The housewife whose home is filled
with dainty chintz d~raperies and Gov
ers is often troubled BY the fact that
each time her chintz is washed its
lovely designs grow a bit lighter, un-
til they are so faint as to be almost in
distinguishable.
OF course the fading is all due to
the way the chintzes are Numbered,
and a little more care in that depart
ment will keep the bright colors prac-
tically the same as new.
The chintz should be soaked in cold
water made briny with plenty Of salt
and vinegar. When the brine has thor
oughly penetrated all through the
goods a little hot water should be run
into the tub; not enough to make the
tub full of warm water, just enough to
make it tepid. The washing should
not be done with a very strong acid
soap-in fact, a soft soap is prefer
able.
When the chintz is hung up to dry
care should be taken that it is not
put up in the direct sunshine, but is
hung in the shade. When not quite
dry it should be taken down and ironet
from the wrong side. The great thing
in preserving the colors of chintz is
not to let heat come in contact with
the right side of the goods. OF
course the irons will have to be fairly
hot in order that the chintz may look
fresh and without wrinkles, but this
heat should be applied to the wrong
side of the goods.

When Uncle Gilbert Hawley sent us
an invitation to run up to Hawleys-

Peaches and she looked at me-then
we both looked out Of the window.

You know nature has a few immu-
table laws and one is that even a rich
time pass on and leave nephews and
nieces. Leave them what? All! that's
it! Where's that time table?
Hawleysville is about forty miles
away on the P. D. & O., and it is some
burg. Uncle Gilbert wrote it all him
self.
Uncle Gilbert has nearly all the
money there is in the world. Every
time he signs a check a national bank
goes out of existence. He tried to
count it all once, but he sprained his
wrists and had to stop.
On the level, when ne goes into a
bank all the government bonds get up
and yell, Hello. papa!"
When he cuts coupons it's like a
sheep shearing.
He has muscles all over him like a
prize fighter just from lifting mort
cages.
When Peaches and finally reached
the Hawley mansion on the hill we
found there a scene of great excite
ment. Old and distant relations were
busting up and down the stone steps
talking in whispers; servants witt
scared faces and popping ayes were
peeping around the corner of the
house and in the roadway in front Of
a sobbing automobile stood Uncle Gil

mounted on the desk just back of the

eye The line finder is stationary,
while the portion of the device that
supports the copy is raised one line

lowered one line when the lever is
raised. The device is easily adjusted

and skip, and suddenly, with a snort,
1t took the river road and scooted
away from town.
Uncle Gilbert patted it on the back
and spoke soothtngly, but 1t was no
use.
Aunt Miranda pleaded with him to
keep in near the shore, because she
was getting seasick; but her tears
were in vain.
You must appear calm and indif-
ferent in the presence of DANGER"
muttered Uncle Gilbert as they rushed
madly into the bosom of a flock OF
COWS.
But luck was with them, for with a
turn of the wrist Uncle Gilbert Jumped

he could feel was the sharp swish of
an old cows tail across his cheek as
they rushed on and out If that ami

Aunt Miranda tried to be brave and

then the machine struck a stone and

was an embarrassing silence.

From the foothills of the huge noun

length from east to west, extend to
north and south vast swampy plains
covered with dense forests, intersected
by innumerable streams, and haunted
by the deadliest of fevers.

New Guinea is practically an unknown
land, except for a narrow strip along
the coast, while the portion hitherto
held by Great Britain has been ex-
plored only in part, and what is known
of the Dutch half of the island was
ascertained mainly by al English ex-
petition undertaken in 1910.
This expedition, headed by Capt. Ce-
Gil G.. Rawling, which penetrated some
distance into the interior and made
tribes of hitherto unknown pygmies,
the men barely reaching 4 feet Z inches
in height. 1t is presumed that the
women are proportionately smaller,
but no brides or other persuasions
could induce these little folk to pro-
duce any If their females for inspec-
ton.
The savages along the coast, on the
other hand. are good-sized people, re-
markedly muscular and with a great
development of chest. The men are
sooty black, the women being slightly
fairer. Among them are occasional
albinos, with dirty reddish hair, their
pink skins blotched u%npleasantly with
darker color. Both sexes go nearly
naked, the women wearing either a
short grass petticoat Dr. a strip Of
bark cloth passed between the legs

it's own fireplace. The floor is of sand
fresh from the seashore and covered
with grass mats, and the only furni-
ture consists OF deliberately carved
wooden pillows, most uncomfortable,
as one would think, for sleeping pur-
poses. Dangling from the roof, and
much blackened by smoke, are human
skulls and bones, formerly belonging
to defunct relatives, the bones being
sometimes contained in woven grass
bags.
The price of a wife among these
primitive people may be anything
from a yard of calico to an ak head,
according to the physical attractions
and domestic accomplishments of the
woman.
The savage warriors of New Guinea
adorn themselves with crowns Of par
adise feathers, which are held in place
by a band of plated grass encircling
the head. Sometimes they wear a
sort of halo, the rays of which are
many pieces of cane plated into the
hair and standing out at right angles
to the scalp. Such a headdress, which
is not disturbed or remade for months,
must be rather uncomfortable to sleep
in.
To lend a fierce expression to the
face the beak of the hornbill split in
two is worn through a hole in the
septum of the nose, in such a way
that the two thin white blades, each
five or six inches long, curve up at the
ends like Kaiser Wilhelm's mustache.
In Perpetual Strife.
Captain Rawling, in his book, THE
Land of the New Guinea Pygmies,'
says that the natives are engaged in
perpetual strife and drunken brawls-
their favorite intoXicant being a fer,
mented liquor obtained from the sugar
palm. Just outside each family door
