How Flies Multiply.
From where do all the flies come? The
question is often asked, and seldom re
ceives so satisfactory an answer as has
been given by a contemporary. The
common fly lays more than a hundred
eggs, and the time from egg laying to
maturity is alwut two weeks. Most of
ns have studied geometrical progression.
Here we see it illustrated. Suppose one
fly commences "to multiply anil re
plenish the earth" abont June 1. June
15, if they all lived, would give 150. Sup
pose seventy-five of these are females,
July 1 would give ns, supposing no cruel
wasp or other untoward circumstance to
interfere, 11,200. Suppose 5M of these
are females, we might have July 13,

A Prompt Answer to Pray--
A United Brethren preacher, the Rev.
John R. Ebc-rly, of Lewiston, has been
conducting meetings at the Brush Ridge
school house, in this county, for three
weeks. The countryside tor miles
aronnd is represented nightly, and in
tense interest is shown. The other
night an amusing climax occurred dur
ing the delivery of Brother Elierly's
opening prayer. The veuerable minister
has shown a partiality for the phrase,
"O Lord, shower thy blessing down
upon us," wnich is incorporated in all
his prayers.
When this period of his invocation was
reached the audience was thrown into a
condition of extreme excitement by the
copious fall of water from the trap d-ior
directly over the minister, drenching
Lim through and through. A temporary
check was given to the services by this
sadden fulfillment of the preacher's
prayer and the tranquility of tlie uiett

What is more beautiful for a low screen

peas. If the kitchen is on the snnny
side of the house they will lumriate with
no other fertilizer than the aonpsndsof

be planted very early in the seasen, in a
rich, snnny place, as deep as six cr eight
inches. Some florictiiturists plant them
in the fall, putting them down the depth
of ten inches and covering the ground
with rich fertilizer. They must be jriven
something for snpport as soon as they
are ont of the ground. Bushes nay be
used for this purpose, but a wire gauze
of large mesh, paid ted a medium shade
of green, is prettier than anything else.

Dr. Armstong, who died in Atlanta a

He continued in the latter capacity
until made the subject of two assaults
by persons who believed him to lie J.

newspapers an unenviable notoriety. For

doubt that he bore a remarkable resem

Some months ago Presiding Elder F.
A Burdick called a meeting of all the
Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen dis
trict in South Dakota, and put before
tbem the plan of sowing acres of wheat
for the liquidation of the church debts.
The pastors took to the idea, and after
talk with their people found the farmers
would furnish the land and do the work
if the church would furnish the seed.
The general societies of the church,
which have their headquarters iu the
east, then took hold of the matter, and
shortly announced that the money for
the seed shonld be forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr. Burdick said: "We hope
to have at least forty acres of wheat on
every charge in the Aberdeen district,
md on some as many as sixty. As a
matter of fact the church at Bath lias
already started the ball rolling with
?i xty acres. The income from this source
will be applied altogether toward the

Helping Electric Cars I pbill.
At Seattle there is about to be put into
operation a novel method of running
slectric cars up steep grades. The
electric railway there has a very
steep grade about 600 feet long, and
it has been found that the motors
on the cars are inadequate to sur
mount the bill. To correct the difficulty
a small conduit about two feet square is
constructed, and in this is to run a small
car as a counter balance. Two ropes
will be attached to the counter balance
car at the top. When an ordinary car
is attached to the rope the counter bal

the car reaches the top of the hill it runs
down on the other side, and aided by the
motor, it pulls np the counter balance

the disintegration of tho ultimate con

The man earing tiger is a creature
both cunn'ng and audacious. One de
scribe 1 by sir Samuel Baker, which be
came the victim of a practical joke, was
nut the typic al old and mangy animal,
but a ;o'.vt rf ul beast of almost unexam
pled ferociy. It was a merciless high
wayman, which infested a portion of the
road, ami frequently carried off the driv
ers of bullock carts to feast npon them
in the juntde.
The natives feared to travel with a sin
gle cart. a'id it became the custom to
pass the dr-Mib-d spot with several teams
t gether. This, however, proved a vain
precaution, for the tiger seized thedriver
of the hirdmost cart and made away
with him in spite of the cries of those
left behind.
At lengt i Mr. Duff, the superintend
ent of P"ii e, I rovided two covered carts,
each drawn as Usual by two bullocks.
The leading one was fitted with strong
Lars of b:.mboo. which fonne.1 an im
penetrable cage. Iu this the driver was
seated, and Mr. Duff himself sat with his
face tow ard the rear, prepar.il to fire
through toe bars at the moment of at
tack. This vi-"rM have been an exciting time
for the driver, but that individual was
personated by a dummy stuffed with
straw, wh t h might prove tempting to
the tiger's eye but would hardly satisfy
his palate.
Slowly the carts moved along the
dreaded path. Suddenly there was a
roar and r.ish in the jungle. A large
tiger iMjiimied forth, seized the dummy
driver and dragged him away. Nothing
could have beeu U tter planned, but one
chance, necessary to success, had been
forgotten. No sooner had the tiger
roared ami bounded upon the cart than
the bullocks, terrified beyond control,
went full gallop across the country, fol
lowed by the other team, all in the wild
est panic.
It was imjiossible to fire, and after a
few seconds of desperate chariot racim?
both carts capsized, and lay, with the
aiiimals, in a heap on the ground. The
victorious man eater, victim of what he
must have considered a practical joke,
was left to a dry meal of a straw stuffed

had expected to get

thrilling tales told bv ptisorvra of
war about their priviMoes and advont
ar while nDder t.9 espinrnge cf an
alert and relentless enemy. An experi
ence worthy of record was told an Amer
ican reporter, the other night, by a man
who now stands high in public; lifd in
Tennessee.
He was once a confederate soldier. IIr
had the misfortune to be nutniiered with
the captured at Fort Dotitlson. and with
hundreds of his comrades was hurried
across the Ohio and incarcerated in Camp
Bwtler, a spot which will long be remem
bered by those who were so unlucky as
to be imprisoned within its battlements.
After pming for several weary months
for an exchange that was never effected
these southern patriots set about to ac
complish their own delivennce. Vari
ous plans were concoctel. but were ail
successfully thwartd by the vig-.!an-
of their custodians. Finally the inspira
tion of this story hit n;mn a scheme
which for audacity and cleverness is nn
pr.vedented. and won for its originator
a ritle and distinction among his com
panions which time has not yet obhter
ated. .Among the prisoners at Camp Butler
were a number of boys who served tiio
Confederacy in the capacity of "powdt r
monkeys." a function well known to
heavy artiilensts.
IT Was A CLVR pus.
The duties of these youngsters were
to convey powder chargi-a from the
magazines to gunners in trenches or to
assist in like manner on the floating bat
teries which annoyed the federal gun
boats in the Mississippi river.
Two of these little fellows, who had
fallen into the hands of the enemy, were
treated with the dignity due prisoucrs of
war, and consequently found themselves
hundreds of miles away from hnn-.e and
mamma and subject to all the heartless
discipline of military prison. Theraanly
fortitude of these two juvenile warriors
attracted the martial sotd of Colonel
Murrion, who commanded tiie poet
To make their imprisonment less ardu
ous he made them Lis ollice ordeil.es,
and sent them on the bundr-ils of er
rands which a commanding officer finds
a daily necessity in the discharge of his
duty.
Tho little fellows were tni" patriots,
and no persuasion or punishment could
dissuade, them from the cause of their
fathers. It waa through tiieiu that the
hero of this story accotuplistied his de
signs. Tbe boys had access at all times
to the colonel's office, likewi.-e the adju
tant's desk. One night they were bidden
to steal from the adjutant's desk a lot of
blank passriorta.
But what good were passports to a
soldier whose very uniform for'oade? exit
from the inner 8tocicde of the prison,
might be asked. Fjrtunately, however,
m the prison there was a sutler who pr
aessed all the venality characteristic of
his cloth.
Among the prisoners in Camp Butler
there were several confederate soldiers
who were the sons of wealthy parents and
occasionally received money from home.
From this element a general fund was
collected and appropriated to the use of
the plotters for deliverance. With the
sutler, whose loyalty to the American
dollar exceeded his fidelity to the Ameri
can Union, it was an easy matter to
smuggle in a suit of citizens clothes now
and then.
A FEW GO AT A TIXE.
On visiting days hundmls of people
from the country around would throng
to the post to look at the fiery reiwls.
They were shown, under the escort of a
guard, through every part of the pr.son,
and on sevenl occasions these parties, in
some unaccountable way, would nraawr
one or two more on coming out than
they did on coming in. Each individual,
however, displayed his passport to the
guard at the gate, and retired unques
tioned from the portals of the fort into
the loyal prairies of Illinois.
Had the guards counted their guests
upon their arrival and departure seine
startling surprises would have resulted.
Ou one occasion two confederate officers
escaped by the guard with forged pusses
and hail taken seats in a carriage which
waa waiting to serve visitors at the gate
of the fort when Colonel Morrison him
self came out and, addressing them,
asked if they had seen ail they wanted
to see.
"Yes, sir," replied one of the fugitives
suavely. "They are a hard looking set.
ain't they, colonel At the same tim
he was so alarmed that his tongue al
most refused to articulate.
By this process half a hundred Con
federates were released from custody and
returned to their commands in the field.
The rentier must not imagine th.U tlseso
men were not missed by their guardians,
for after every muster the guanls were
doubled and many commissioned and
non-commissioned officers relieved, it be
ing suspected that they were responsible
for the mysterious disappearance of the
prisoners.
So cleverly did the plan operate under
cautious restrictions that the leak through
which the human contents i f that noto
rious pen escaped was not discovered
until the man who created it had been
duly exchanged and was fighting under
his own flag on the fields of Geo- a,
where he was known to the army as Colo

to the roof to see what was the matter.
He discovered, caged np in the elevator,
a very much frightened oid lady and a
boy, who abso showed signs of anxiety.
With a step bidder and some outride
help the prisoners were rescued through
a very small opening above the door on
the top floor and the elevator was set in
motion again. It will be some time tie
