Flies are always objectionable and
annoying, and esjiecially so in a sick
rxim, where they may also L the
means of spreading infection. It is a
good thing to know that fumigating
with carbolic acid not only acts as a
disinfectant, but also as a preventive of
the fly nuisance. A simple fumigator is
made by fastening a patty tan by
means of a bracket made of twisted
wire attached to and projecti E from
the neck of a ginger beer bottle above
a liigbt light As the light burns the
carbolic fumes of the disinfectant
the pan will fill the air and make it un
bearable to in?ect pests. It is necessary
to place tbe fumigator well out of reinh
of children, for not only is carbolic acid
poisonous, but it is capable of inflicting
the most dreadful burns.

An Intelligent Turtle.
Ebenezer Faithful Winchester, a rich
farmer of Red Rock, Susquehanna
county, Pa., has a fatuous snapping
turtle which baa made" newn f r the
communities in tbe surrounding coun
try for more than a year. Every body
around there remembers how the turtle
bit a plec of dynamite and blew up a
seotl'-n of railroad track last summer,
aud how It lured a doxen young chicks
to the water and coaxed them to go In
Hwimmlrg, thus securing a good meal
with little trouble. The w idow Serga
inenser, whose husband went to tbe
great hereafter through blowing into a
loaded gun, recalls with poignant grief
a visit made by the reptiieto her kitch
en, when it bit holes into all the tin
pans. But its exploits last week crown
ed all its previous ones. . During the
past few months the turtle has conceiv
ed a violent affection for a puppy dog
belonging to the farmer. On Wednes
day last a wildcat entered tbeyard and
attacked the pup. The siiapjier dodged
behind the wildcat and ca ght the
tx-ast by the tail, but found soon that it
could not cope with the savage and
powerful creature. As soon as the in
telligent turtle realized this, it scurried
into the house, where Farmer Winh
eafer's loaded gun stood behind the
dorr. The snapping turtle threw the
gun to the ground and pulled it around
till it pointed fairly at the wildcat.
Then it jerked tbe trigger and blew
the beast's head to pieces. New York

Meadiuc Silk.
A young woman who goes to tho Chi
cago university has invented a new
means of mending silk. The taffetas
which have been in vogue for so long
are so woven that they cannot be mend
ed neatly with thread, while at the
same time the silk is constantly break
ing ont in little splits. This yenng wc
man keeps her waists in order and
wears them long past their allotted time
by repairing the slits with court lus
ter. For dark silks she takes black and
for light colors she has white or delicate
ink.
She cuts the plaster in long, thin
pieces, moistens it scantily and applies
it on the wrong side of the silk after
drawing the laps of the split closely to
gether. Then she runs a hot iron over
it If tlie tear is where she cannot get
at it well with an iron, she presses the
plaster. down well with her fingers. She
tlu n lays the silk back in its fold, and
no o:m v.'onl 1 ever susjiect its being
iii'-nded. This same young woman
mends her stockings with court plast r
and also the little tears in her clre
skirts, but in such cases the result i
not nearly so satisfactory.

A STORY OF DOGS.
Amor. the Klr.t Hd ) '
When we read that all tbe different
fcr.r.!3 cf our dctutic animals eng

dog seemed to have been among the first
a animals to be tamed, and he is

wolf ia col l countries or the jack,
common ia hot countries.
A verv st raiiK-thing ith.:t while th

bcrkiiig ud attachment to Lis mter.
centuries -f domesticity have cot
made hita forget tho habits of bu hc
ctstors. Cr.riously enough, tne h;ib:t of
Inrfciii. which is tliiuK t universal with
dogs as we know them, is altogether an
unknown rc-comrlishmeiit in tueir wud
state. And it is said that when dogs
aain rehpse into their wild slat
thev lose the habit tf balking. Soon
see." larking is distinctly tb, rcsji.t of
civilization. It is a dog's n.Uod of
talking, and we may cot believe him
civili.wd unless he possesses that mark
et refinement :id culture.
Did von ever notice a dog when pre
pariug'to lie dow u ? No matter how soft
the vug or how well smoothed it is. be
turns rocn 1 and round, making th
same motions Lis wild ancestors did
when tramping down the gra.-s for a

dog has uiore food than he can eat, he
buri;s it the same us bis wild relations

fed and become so lazy that the-y do not
tronlle to dig it up again.
Wh.n America was discovered, no
animal bad been domesticated by the In
dians except the ilog at the north and
the llama at the south; no bird except
the tnrkey in Mexico. All our ordinary
domestic animals and fowU descend
from stock brought over from Europe'.

The Iiineae Sim and Moon.
In China the snn and moon are broth
er and sister. The meon is the eh:- r
brother, who looks after his rather siily
sister, the sun.
This is exactly the reverse of our leg
ends, which make the san the day
king and the gentle moon lady of th
night. One day in China so the legend rvir.s
the san asked the moon if she couldn't
go oat at night. The "moon ans wered
very sternly : "No. Yon are a y i :i4
lady, and it would be improper for yoa
to go ont after dark. "
Then the sun said. "But the peo-l
keep looking at me when I go out ia
the. daytime. "
So the liiooU told her to take the gold
en needles that s.ho wore iu her I air
and stick them into the eyes of eo;-;-when
they stared at her. This is th

JACK AND H!3 VILL.
A Special Art of a'te tlritiah Parlia
ment Arrant; That Matter.
Jack has the proud dL-tinctinn of
having h.nl an act of parliament passed
for the express purpose of d cidiug the
way in which he mu-t uia'ue his will,
ro that while ail other Eritems are
Inmiied together in this matter nnder
the wills act of IS's sailors' testament
ary eli-cuiii i:.s i.re lua-io nuder tlu
naval wills act of laiiil. The most im
portant .rovisei of this act is that all
wills ma.lo by sailors or marines mnst
bet wituc.-iscd aad attested by tho chap
lain or some other oflicer if they i;rei
actually made on liuard ship, und this
U somewhat curious.
If a sailor likes to make his will on
shore, any one can wiUi-s.s it fur hir.i.
bnt on board ship th case is different
Needless to say they almost nil to
man choose tho latter course, as they
know that things will be straighter for
bearing an, officer' signature. If. how
ever, auppiising that the vessel was in
action and a man was to be struck
down who h.;d not previotif ly made a
will, if he had to do so be-fore ho died,
even if it were n.t attested by t a o'di
cer. the admiralty has full power to
act oh the incrits ef the case nnd to dis
pense with that or any other fc:rir.al;ty
that it was iuipossit o to comply with.
Another thing a sailor shan-s with a
soldier the privilcgo of when ou active
service being the only man who can
dispense with a written will and make
a verbal one.
In former times any cno coaM make
his will verbally if h so desired,
but this, as may bo supposed, opened
the dor to no end of fraud, and it was
consequently repealed in the ls:J3 net
exoi-pt iu the case mentioned above
On the night liefore b ship or a regi
ment goes into action there is no more
pathetic sight than to see the men,
young and old, lalajriously writing their
wills in case tomorrow abouM lie their
last day in this world, and what with
witnessing wills and making them on
the forms i.-vued by the authorities for
those who cannot write awl this class
has now almost entirely disappeared

officers have a very busy time Lon
