No Flies in Alaska.

Everybody knows that mosquitoes
are frightful pest in Alaska; but it
is news to learn that housefiies do
lot exist there.
{ This interesting fact was definitely
ascertained by Dr.. J. NJ. Aldrich Of
the United States National museum,
in the course of recent expedition
which he made for the purpose OF
studying Alaskan insects.
He found two entirely new species
of mosquitoes. Horse flies were abund-
ant everywhere. But there were no
.houseflies. In vain did he explore gro
Gerry stores, restaurants, canneries,
garbage dumps and other likely places
for them.
The fact is that the housefy is by
origin a tropical insect. It cannot en-
dure cold weather. In temperate lati-
tudes few houseflies manage to live
over the winter in heated houses
enough Of them, that is to say, to start
q fresh crop in the following SPRING

The Old Family Toddy.

According to a rural paper a cen
tral Kentucky man prides himself in
the possession of a ''toddy glass that
has been in his family for over a CEN
tury. The "toddy glass" recalls an
old kentucky custom that was an in
stitution down to ante-bellum days.
The 'toddy glass was utilized for
the mixing of an old-fashioned toddy
that was passed around and partaken
of by company and the family. The
common toddy existed before the sani-
rary crusade started and individual
toddies became the vogue. In these
days even if prohibition did not stand
In the way, the old-time ''toddy glass
likely would be placed under the
health law along with the common
drinking cup.-Louisville Courier

PROBABLY SAVED MANY LIVES
Lighthouse Keeper Proved Man OF
Resource and Courage in TIne
Of Emergency.

The Indians called the island Natis-
cotte-the country Of wailing, and un-
der the modern corruption Of Anticos-
ii it has added to its terrible renown.
Its whole history, from the day it was
discovered by Jacques Cartier in 1884,
to the present, is q record Of human
suffering.
In August, 1869, the family of Ed
ward Pope, keeper Of the Ellis Bay
lighthouse, was stricken down by ty-
phoid fever, and to add to his misfor-
tunes the revolving apparatus OF his
light broke. The government steamer
had gone, and Pope had no means OF
communicating with the marine de-
partment at Quebec or elsewhere.
The light revolved or flashed, as the
technical phrase is. every minute and
a half; and if it flashed no more it
would probably be mistaken by pass
ing vessels in that region of fog for
the stationary light at the west point
of the island, and thus lead to dire
loss of life. Pope found that with
little exertion he could turn it and
make it flash, and at once determined
to fill the place Of the automatic gear.
Accordingly, this humble hero sat in
the turret, with his watch by his side,
turning tie light regularly at the al
lotted time every night, from p. m.,
until z a. m., from the middle of Au-
gust until the first Of December and
from the first of April until the end Of
June when the government steamer
came to his relief with a new appar-
atuS.
All through the first season, Pope's
daughter and grandchildren were i'll
unto death, with nobody save him to
nurse them. He waited on them ten
derly through the day, but as night fell
on the iron-bound coast he fastened
to his vigil in the turret, doing his
duty to the Canadian government and
to humanity with unf1inching devo-
ton.
In the second season his daughter,
who had lived through the fever, took.
turns with him In the light room.
This man may have saved thousand
lives. He died in 1872, and his deed
well deserves to be chronicled, for Of
the heroes of Anticosti, as of the long
roll Of her victims, the world knows
nothing.-Montreal Family Herald.

New Kind of Auto.

David Cook, age five, OF Wabash
has been around automobiles ever
since he was born, but was never at
Lake Wawasee until last Sunday. A
friend Of the Cook family had the
youngster out showing him the sights,
and finally pointed out a sail boat
which was travelling in the distance.
For several minutes the boy was un-
able to find the boat. Suddenly ne
spied it and said, ooh. you mean that
auto with th.s side curtains on!'
Since then he has been telling his
playmates OF the automobile Which
puts on side curtains and then runs
on water.-Indianapol News.

Where the Sparrow Justified Himself.

Where the Sparrow Justified Himself.
News dispatches inform us that the
English sparrow invaded Alaska this
spring for the first time" Arriving in
America about 1850, it has been grad
ually working westward ever since"
driving out most other small birds as
it goes. 1t has already spread over
nearly the whole of Europe, and in
spite of everything seems likely to
make place for itself all the way
round the world.
Because of it's fecundity, its inabil-
ity to live peaceably with other birds,
and the depredations it has been ac-
cused of making on brick chimneys
and buildings, some people-even bird
lovers-have greatly deplored its
coming to this country.
But it can be a useful bird, as 1t,
proved to South Carolina farmers in
1917, writes a correspondent of Penn
/sylvania Grit. In the spring Of that
year the army worms started an inva-
sion of our fields, Gevouring everything
as they went. The farmers were IN
despair, when they saw how bare the
worms were leaving the earth. Then
the English sparrows swarming in the
fields in greater and greater numbers
daily, began to devour the worms with
a voracity truly gratifying. The num-
Der of worms which one sparrow would
deyour in day was incredible, farm
er told me. And the poisonous mix
ture, with which the worms were
finally exterminated, before they had
injured the crops irreparably, had no
Ill effects on the sparrows. They ate
worms so long as there were any, dead
or alive, to be found.

Was Marcus AureIius Perseeutor7

Was Marcus Aureiius Fersseutorf
Under the reign Of the prince
philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, were
the Christians prosecuted? After Re
nan, Linsenmayer and Allard have
charged the memory of that emperor
with this infamy, now A. P. Lemer-
cier, professor of Caen, in preface
to his just published edition, of his
"Pensees," at the land Of history, con-
tests the statements of these savants.
According to him, the instructions
given by Marcus Aurelius to the legate
Of Lyons were of political and not a
religious nature. Besides, the prince
was then. ill. and it was impossible for
him to control the legate's reports.
Several texts intimate that Marcus
Aurelius alleviated certain measures
taken against the Christians and that
those which he dictated We're perhaps
exceeded. The discussion bears on
very remote facts. If Marcus Azure
Illus had had foreknowledge of the
controversy he would undoubtedly
have cried with Antisthenes: "1t is a
royal virtue to act well and to let
calumny run it's course"

sPARROW-HAWKS GOT SNAKE
lEeptile Seemed to Have Small Chance
Against the Little Though
Fierce Birds.

We soon found that there were two
g,arrow-hawks about, and by the 7th
CT March it seemed evident that they
were mated and were considering the
locality as summer residence.
We now saw them almost daily, and
the perfect domestic harmony, indeed
4 should say affection, shown between
them, and the tender care and gal
lantry on the part Of the male, would
seem to suggest high plane Of evo-
Tuition, and reminds one again that
all the world is kin. Indeed, what
have we of aitruism which may not
have its beginning In the humblest
creature?
In accord with history and tradition
the male was chief hunter, but very
ioften shared the game with his mate
after the killing" Rushing to the
back window, attracted by loud cali
of killee, killee, hllee, killee, we would
frequently see him returning from the
hunt with a rat, mouse, or an Eng
ilish sparrow, and it must be con-
lfessed that even small song-birds were
not strictly prohibited under his lib
eral Interpretation of the law. In
moment the female would light on a
perch nearby, .whereupon the male
would Immediately remove the mouse
from his talons, with which the prey
lis almost always carried, and politely
deliver it to his mate from his beak.
One bright, sunny afternoon there
was an unusually excited call heard.
IT seemed that a garter-snake had
glided forth from it's hiding place to
enjoy the early spring warmth, cir
cumstance which proved more fortu-
cate for the ''early bird" than for the
early snake. 1t was most picturesque
and exciting even to a spectator to
see this fierce little bird, slightly
smaller than a flicker, flying about
from tree to tree as If in search OF a
|more favorable stand, struggling with
his writhing prey. When the snake
ihaI 5een lecapitated and several
inches of its length devoured, 1t
lseemed sufficiently subdued to be OF
Ifered to the mate, although it was still
Nriggling when she accepted the offer
Ing. She ate 1t with evident relish,
iholding it firmly on the branch under
sher foot while she pulled off small
pieces. When the tail was reached 1t
became very difficult to hold this
slender, tapering morsel.-S. Harm
sted Chubb in Scribner's.
