Electric FIypaper.

The struggles of fly caught on a sheet of tanglefOot paper are painful to witness. Perhaps, however, the in sect undergoes no worse sufferings than when poisoned.
 Why not kill the flies by electricity? John Fl. Turpin, of BremertOn,' Wash, has invented a simple little machine for the purpose. You hang it on the wall and 1t does the rest. Bait, of any kind suitable, attracts the insects to a slot through which 1t is exposed to view and smell. The slot is a narrow elongated opening between two metal plates. When a fly crawls across from one of the plates to the other, it is instantly killed and falls into a little trough beneath. This happens because the plates are attached by binding posts to a couple of copper wires which pass through an electric cord connected to an ordinary plug, which Is inserted in an electric socket.

GET ALL WATER FROM SKY
Bermuda Dependent for It's Supply on Moisture Which Is Gathered
 on House Roofs.

In the early days the Bermuda col onists lived in houses built of cedar. Now they live in houses built of coral rock It Is usually cut on the prem iSeS.
 There are two things in the islands that determine much of social econ Omy. One is the presence of this building material, which can be sawed out with a handsaw and after some exposure is ready for use, and the other is the total absence of wells.
 It is necessary to get all drinking water from the clouds, and that, as measure of health, requires that every roof from which the water Is derived should be kept clean by white wash.
 The palace of the rich man and the hOvel of the poor man are equal ly white, equally substantial-lO0k- ing and equally clean, and this cir- cumstahce furnishes singular super ficial evidence of the fairly equal distribution of wealth and comfort ln this little community.

Standarda of Youth,

BObby's father was an organist of repute, calling for which Bobby, at ten years old, felt a little apOlogetic when having occasion to explain 1t to his friends. A policeman, now, or a fireman, those are professions a fellow can boast about One day he was overheard in conversation with a neighbours son, who asked:
 Bob, does your father play?"
 "Yes," admitted Bobby, without much enthusiasm.
 Well, what does he play, the cor net?''
 "No," answered Bobby, half-hearted- ly. He plays the organ"
 And does he sing?" persisted the small friend.

Mems Styles.

Advance fashion notes from London say that trousers for the well-dressed man are to be cuffless this fall and add that suspenders are coming back
 Those men who never felt perfectly safe with a belt will be glad of the latter note. A good many more will say farewell to trOuser cuffs without regret. They were always foolish.
 About the suspenders there is a diversity of opinion. Certain types of the human radiSh, called man, notably that one shaped like lath with in- growing hips, will cheerfully throw away the belt and go back to the ''gal- fuses" Of his bOyhood. That is an old institution that innumerable genera tiOns of men have persisted in sustain ing, because although the blue arch of the wide heaven might fall, hitched up by suspenders their pants wouldn't.

STILL HAS FLAME OF GENIUS
Sarah Bernhardt Has Worlds Ap- pIause In Refusing to Leave
 Her Work and Retire.

Many criticize Bernhardt for being still in harness. The reason for this Is plain-I mean her action, not the criticism. As long as managers and audiences continue to pay her thous- ands of dollars a week the fact Is in- dtsputable that there is still a place for her on the worlds stage-and this is true.
 Furthermore, she Is of unique value in the scheme of things and still has the flame of genius. She can summon the imagination and vision th2t no other woman can-she still can point the way to a glowing and glorious vista. And one must remember 1t is not only her weight of years she over comes. but the loss of leg. Charac- teristically she will not wear an art1- fcial leg, since it cannot restore the grace of movement for which she WAS famous. She prefers nothing to halt ing substitute.
 In tOday's paper is this: Sarah Bern hardt at seventy-seven, has asked the French council for a 25-year lease on the theater which bears her name. The council Is willing to grant ten year lease, but they look unfavorahly upon an extension of 25 years.
 It reminds me of a story told me of her by De Max, her leading man for ten years. On one of her American tours q fortune-teller told her shed die at ninety-five. at which Sarah threw up her hands and exclaimed "Why hurry me? l have plans for 23 years '" This Is true. Her schedule usually published in some paper is al ways made out for at least five years. What her actual plans .are is ever a dark secret. Like Brer Fox, she says nothing; just lays lOw.-Arthur Row, i'm ToSlin'S Weekly

LOWER BROADWAY AT NIGHT
Young Folk Stroll Through World" Famous Street and 1t Becomes a
 IoVeP9 Lan0.

Summer nights have turned lower Broadway, from Trinity churchyard to the Battery, into sort of lovers lane, the New York Sun states. Breeze-blown and dusky and half deserted, strollers find 1t a pleasant place. They saunter past the windows that are occasionally lighted, showing somebody working late at a high desk over a big book, or hammering the keyboard of a type writer.
 They pass up and down. going by twOs and by fours as nonchalantly as though they moved through country lane. Their faces are thrown into a high light as they pass the street arcs.
 For them all Trinity churchyard has an endless fascination. Fenced out with the dark they walk along the wallI they seem to watch the grave stones. The stones shine white at night, the high cross in the center of the plot directly in front of the new Curb market building, Is somehow more prominent than any of the high stone structures that surround the arches of the church.
 The only thing that shows up as white Is the front wall of the Curb market. It seems to rise directly at the back of the grass plot. The tracks of the elevated tTains are visible. The five curved windows that light the second story look as if they were five entrances on the ground floor.
 Through the crowd of strOllers through the cool streets come Oc- casional people who are anxious to get home.
 About 10 o'clock a great many chill dren come up through the street, some running and chattering, others so sleepy that they have to be dragged along by the mothers who are getting them home after an evening down at the park. Half of the children want a drink of water when they come to the Trinity church wall. So the wOm- on stop at the fountain built as a memorial to Ann Maria lOOtheal Swords. The children want to play in the water, the mothers want to get them home.
 So for a few hours after dark down. town Broadway seems to belong to the past, to young lovers and to rOmping children. They come that way every warm day and the men, who sit silent ly on watch in corners of buildings and in dOorWays are generally glad to see them come.

Where Radio Is Popular.

Observation from an elevated train shows that few blocks on which are homes or tenements lack wireless aerials, according to the New York Sun.
 Third avenue especially is marked by radio. Wires run from poles on one roof to poles on another, from chimneys and cOrnices and all sorts of places where there seems a good loca- tion for the feelers that catch the mes- sages from the air and carry them down to the receiving instruments. AerIals are of all types one, two, four and five strands, clumsily made some of them, others apparently the work of experts. Some are so small that one wonders how they ever attract a wireless message or telephone pro- gram. In any event 1t would seem that apartment house landlords once opposed to allowing tenants to erect aerials on the roofs have been won over.

pretty girls that lived in the city. He 'lookers," as the Remington boys said, put these girls in this neighbOrhOOd were absolutely stunning.
 There was one upstairs that he had seen several times in his short stay, and he had wished that his aunt would introduce them. This girl was pretty blonde, whose hair was always waved and dressed in the latest way.
 Her skin was marvelOus-a pink and white punctuated by soft red lips. She had never looked at him directly, but he had felt that she knew he was there.
 She was a fairly young girl, prob ably not more than seventeen. That she was yet in high school he knew. for he saw her carrying books in and out in a dainty fashion.
 Ed, there's the pOstman. Run down and get the mail for me-" called his aunt from the back of the fiat.
 Ed felt annoyed at her use of the third person. It made him seem such kid.
 Couldn't women ever realize that fellow was a man by the time he was working and earning living?
 He rose and moved toward the front door. There was another little tinkle of the bell as he opened the front door and looking down he saw a girls figure wrapped in dressing gown of blue velvet ahead of him.
 He was about to step back and wait until she had returned to her apart ment, but the pOstman's call, -"R"gis. tered letter to sign for" made him continue his descent.
 He saw 1@N by the golden hair that 1t was the girl from upstairs who wore the blue gown. She was trailing down slowly Her mothers voice from above came:
 Belle, was that the pOst?"
 Belle! What a wonderful name How fitting Ed had had enOugl French in the Remington high school to recall that Belle translates into the English word pretty. He ambled downstairs little quicker.
 The idea flashed into his mind that Belle was a far more attractive name than was Anna.
 There's two cents due on this let ter, mfss," said the pOstman, with his eyes OH the pile of letters in his hand. "Well, by gosh" came the high voice of the girl, who seemed to be angry from her tone, "why didn't you say so before I leaped way down hereY ...
 Ed grinned as he thought of the languorous descent which she charac- terized as "leaping." Small towns might be slow, but-Belle had turned to go back for the required two cents. Her front hair was done up in some remarkable way in metal wayers. Cold cream had been lavishly smeared on her face and still lay there waiting to be rubbed or washed off.
 No vestige of color marked her face, neither the lips, which were mere pale pink in color, nor the cheeks, which were undeniably white.
 Guess I'll go back tonight,p he said to his aunt as he handed her the mail.

The Pretty Girls of Remington
 - By LILLIACE M. MITCHELL
1922. by Mcclure Newspaper syndica

0. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate. The State bank of Remington had lust installed a machine which Obvi- ated human adding and subtracting- one which totaled column of figures In neat little typewriter letters, much to the astonishment of the older men ,f the village, who declared that Tit can't be done"
 The company who made the ma chine suggested that they send some. one up to their school for two or three weeks to learn how to operate the ma chine efficiently. And, of course, there was no one but Ed Collins to go.
 Ed Collins was the only one who worked in the bank except the prest- lent.
 Ed Collins was delighted at the prospect of going.
 He rushed right down Main street IS fast as he could to tell Anna about t. He felt confident that she would )e quite as delighted as he. But she wasn't. She was sweeping the front porch, which was already SpeckleSs. Her hair was in a soft coil at the back Df her head and there were slight )uffs over each ear. Her crisp blue lprOn had perky bow of white lawn Iolding 1t together at the back, and Ter cheeks were pink from the, exer- :ise of sweeping.
 Altogether she was pretty sight pink and blue and creamy skin topped )y golden hair. She was not beauti- 'ul.
 There were at least half a dozen girls prettier in Remington than she, put some way or other Anna and Ed lad always "gone together" as the 'olks in Remington said.
 Ed was thinking about all of this as le sat in the living room of his aunts iny fiat on the next Saturday morn ng.
 He had applied himself to the work 1t the school and had learned all that le needed to know for the bank work md was ready to start home again.
 When his aunt had suggested stay ng in the city until Sunday night he lad eagerly accepted the invitation.
 He had been dumfOunded when he lad first seen the vast numbers of
