An Mordarlxn EIao4Ion.

I was in Puerto Mexico on election day when General Candido Aguilar was running for governor of Vera Cruz against General Gavira. You would have thought he had at least a good running start by being Carranza's can didate and engaged to his daughter, but CandiGo never takes any chances. He had two freight trains of decanted COnstitutionalist soldiers, armed be- yond the teeth, in that town bivouack- ed around the polls and the telegraph and cable offices. You had to step over sleeping arsenals to send a telegram. The simple job of that soldiery was to insure constitutional and orderly elec- tiOn by keeping the Gaviristas from exercising a suffrage called by the new constitution universal. I don't know first hand just how matters stood in the other towns of the state of Vera Cruz, but on reaching Mexico City sev- eral days later l read i'll the capital pa pers that General Aguilar had been elected governor by substantial ma jorities after very orderly" election.

The First Ely Fishers.

Doubtless the reason why artificial flies were originally invented was be- cause it was impossible to use the smaller and more delicate natural flies as baits on the hook. The first fly fish CT cast his eyes about him in search of something that would answer as imi- tating the flies upon which the trout were feeding. Feathers were naturally the first materials thought of, and the old red cocks hackle was the first of all the artificial insects, the old, old Adam of them all The breed has been increasing several hundred years and numbers 2,OOO or more at the present day. Of salmon flies alone there are several hundred patterns. These be- long to the lure order mostly, as do many of the large flies used for bass and trout. The little old red hackle remains good fly to this day and is put upon bodies of many colors, pea cock harl being perhaps as we'll liked as anything. Red wool is favored by mahy.-FOrest and Stream.

Flies That Kill spidors.

Flies are the natural prey of spiders, yet, strange to say. there are in Brazil some flies which prey on spiders. These daring little insects do not differ much from ordinary flies. They are hyme- noptera, and Pepsis ornata is typical insect of this kind. They usually come upon the spiders when the latter are unprepared and sting them to death. A spider after being stung once has generally sufficient strength to hide in a tuft of grass. but his shelter proves only of temporary service, for the pitt .ess fly soon returns and completes its work by stinging the helpless victim twice in the lower part of the thorax.- Exchange.

Naval Capkaina.

The saying runs that as soon as a lieutenant is made commander he be- gins to carry a stick, and as soon as a commander becomes captain he turns religious" For justification of the latter part of this assertion there exists the mdOubted fact that naval captains are mostly serious minded men who give some thought to the greater things of life. Possibly their hours of loneliness may conduce to this frame of mind, though for the most part their leisure hours are given up to study of matters connected with their calling. One well known captain there was who used to hold prayer meetings, which any member of the ships company could attend. Re member, there are no rates to be pick ed up here" the captain would warn them before the meetings started, meaning that any one who came there hoping to curry favor and thus get pro- motion would be disappointed. And in this the captain was always as good IS his wOrd.-London Mail.
