A FLY CATECHISM. The Board of Health of Indianapolis, Ind., has issued a "Fly Catechism" which it would be well for all readers to commit to memory, particularly at this time of the year when every effort made in exterminating this national pest will count for so much more, than it would later in the season, when so many billions of flies have been bright into existence. It follows: 1. Where is the fly born? In manure and filth, 2. Where does the fly live? In every kind of filth. 3. Is anything to filthy for a fly to eat? No. 4. (a) Where does he go when he leaves the vault, and the manure pile and the spitoon? Into the kitchen and dining -room. k doeshe do there? He 7 What walks Oe the bread, fruit and vegeta- bles; wipes his feet on the butter, and bathes in the butter -milk. 5. Does the fly visit the sick patient with consumption, typhoid fever and cholera infantum? He does and he may caul on you next. 6. Is the fly dangerous? He is man's worst pest, and more dangerous than wild beasts and rattlesnakes. ;. What disease does the fly carry? He carries typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and summer complaint. How? On his wings and hairy feet. What is its cor- rect name? Typhoid fly. fi. ' Did he ever kill anyone? He kill- ed more American soldiers in the Span- ish-American war than the bullets of the Spaniards. l Where are the greatest t number of cases of typhoid fever. consumption, and summer complaint?? Where there are the most flies. 10. Where are the most flies? Where there is the most filth. 11. Why should we kill the fly? Be- cause he may kill us. 12. How should we kill the fly? (a) Destroy all the filth about the house and yard. (b) Pour lime into the vault and on the manure. (c) Kill the fly with the wire screen paddle, or sticky paper, or kerosene oil. 18. Kill the fly in any way but ---kill the fly. If you are a housewife you cannot reasonably hope to be healthy or beau- tiful by washing dishes, sweeping and doing housework all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at night. You must get out into the open air and sun- light. If you do this every day and keep your stomachmach and bowels in good order by taking Chamberlain's Tablets when needed, you should become both healthy and beautiful. For sale by all dealers. Psoriasis Was Cured Psoriasis is another name fox chronic eczema. It is the worst form of this dreadful itching skin disease. Once eczema has reached this stage it is usually considered incurable. Mrs. Nettie Maseey, Conseenn, Ont.. writes:—"I thought it my duty to tell you the great benefit I received from using Dr. Chase's Ointment. For five years I suffered with what three doe - tors called Psoriasis. I doctored with the: e diff 'rent doctors, with no good results, and one of our noted doctors toll me if any one offered to guaran- tee re' a cure for $50.00 to keep my menev in my .locket, as I could not be cured. "Thar disease spread nm11 over me, even on my fate and had. The itch- ing and burning was hard to bear. At last my brother read in the paper about Dr. Chase's Ointment as a healer.

Selling Western Farms as Town Lots. C A. Goodfellow, of Whitby Gazette and Chronicle, who is on a Western tour. in a recent letter to his paper speaks from first hand knowledge of the real estate boom in the West. In driving out from prairie cities he finds that practically all the farms lying within a few miles of these urban cen- tres have been cut up into building tote and art' being sold or offered for sale as such. It is in properties such as these that Mr. Goodfellow says, pro- perties which may not be built upon for a decade, and possibly may never bo required for building purpoees, for many Ontario investors are, on the solicitation of glib -tongued agents, sinking their money.

A sweater is one of the necessities of the seashore or mountain ward- robe. No other wrap can take its place. The dainty women always pre- fers the creamy white ones, but often hesitates to buy because of the seem- ing difficulty of cleaning them. The following method simplifies that pro- cess, so that no one need hesitate to buy one on that account. Woollen blanket may be cleaned in the same manner. A quarter of a bar of good white soap is melted over the stove. To this is added about half a cup of am monia. Enough hot water is run in to the pan or tub to cover the sweat er. The soap and ammonia are stirre in, and then the sweater is placed in With a stick or the top of a wash board this is stirred and turned unti the dirt is out. Rinse in severe waters, then lay on a slanting board t drain, but do not squeeze dry. rmethods of dry are several ing. The best plan is to roll in sheet until half dry stretched into th original desired shape. Then unrol and allow to dry, without hanging i up.

These 531 are elected by the differen States, in proportion to the populatio for instance New York being a pop Sous State sends 39 to the Electoric College; Kansas, 10; California, 1 Pennsylvania, 34, and so on; in a there are eight states sending 10 votes to the College that have neve gone any other way than Republica and eleven others with 120 votes th have only departed once from th party ticket. On the other hand, this teen of the Southern States, sending i 137 votes, or one-third of the whole College, always go Democrat, that will add 18 more. Generally speaking, the Republicans have a good majority on the Electoral College. The members of this Electoral. College are elected by the people in November and they met in their respective states and cast their vote for president and vice- president on the second Monday in January following. They have no dis- cretion, but are chosen under a pledge to vote for a particular candidate --a pledge which since 1796 has never been { violated. The results of these votes are then forwarded, sealed, to the president of the Senate, and are by hien opened and counted in the presence of both Houses of Congress, and the result declared on the second Wednes- day in February. A majority of the whole number of electors is necessary to elect. If no person have such a majority, the president is chosen by the house of Representatives, voting by' states, and the vice-president is chosen by the Senate.

Scionoe Asserts That Genius Is Not Transmissible, Vet Here Are Numer- ous Brilliant Exceptions, Both An- ceent and Modern, to That Dictum, Ari allusion by Henry %V. Lacy, an acute judge of contemporary notables, ;o Winston Spencer Churchill as a born parliamentarian in whom the genius tf his father, Lord Itandolph Churchill, lives again and who may yet prove to overshadow the fame of Lord Ran- dolph, even as William Pitt eclipsed the renown of Lord Chatham, moves Thomas McCaleb, in the New York American, to say: "We are prompted by these allusions to ask ourselves the well worn query, Is genius transmissible? And, though the most authoritative latter day dic- tum of science answers la the nega- tive, there are not a few noteworthy exceptions that involuntarily occur to the mind. "Might we not. first of all, cite from among the ancients such fathers and sons resriectively as Philip of Macedon and Aiexnurler the Great, f-lam[lcar and Hannibal, Marcus Junius Brutus and Lucius Junius Brutus, Vespasian and Titus? Also we find genius resi- dent both in Pepin and his offspring, Charlemagne, to which case might be added, did space permit, the few great medieval English kings who were also the sons or great kings. Nor should we omit to mention the poets Bernardo Tasso and his progeny, Torquato Tas- so; also the great Nicholas Bacon and is B In- deed, Francis a Bacon. the stilt g etc deed, the list might be multiplied to an appreciable figure by taking au ex- tended tour in universal biography. There are, besides, quite a number of fathers and their sons possessed of such extraordinary talent that they might, by slightly stretching a point, be likewise called men of genius. "In the biographies of great Germans we see this fact especially creeping out now and then, and in Prance, to men- tion only three eases, we find genius exemplilled in such a stream, offspring as Etienne Saint -Hilaire Geoffroy and Isidore Saint -Hilaire Geoffroy, as La- zare Iiippolyte Carnot and Sacil Carnot and as Alexandre Dumas pere and Alexandre Dumas fits. "Quite rich in iiinstratfon of the ap- parent hereditary transmission ot gen- ius is the list among Englishmen.

"In American biography we find the names of such famous fathers and sons respectively as Increase Mather and Cotton Mather, theologians; John Adams and ,Sohn Quincy Adams, both presidents and statesmen; 'Light Horse' Harry Lee, patriot, and Robert L. Lee, soldier; General Zachary Tay- lor and General Richard Taylor; Jo- seph Story, jurist, and W. W.
