An Englishman who visited the United States during the last summer, when asked what he liked most about the country, promptly replied: "Your fly screens. "I don't belieev I remember ever hav- ing seen a fly screen in England," he continued, "that is, the wire screens that are generally used here. There are a few mosquito bars, made of cotton netting. I don't know why we have not adopted the wire screens, for we certainly suffer great annoyance from flies, gnats and mosquitoes. In many kitchens and meat markets fly- paper is used, but it is any- thing but encouraging to the appetite. "One difficulty, which, however, I sup- pose could be overcome in the way of introducing wire screens, would be the almost universal use of French windows. These open outward and it might be ne- cessary to place the screens on the in- side of the windows. Doors, of course, could be easily put up."

According to size and capacity the steamers in the banana trade carry from 15,000 to 30,000 bunches in a cargo. The biggest of these boats have four hatchways and besides four side ports on each side through which cargo can ho discharged. At some stages of the work of discharging a big banana steamer there may be employed about her from 300 to 500 men.

There are two great bolts on the earth in which either volcanoes are active or moun- tains are growing or in which the two phe- nomena are associated. These two belts fol- low great circles. Ono of these passeae through the West Indies, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caucasus and the Himalaya moun- tains, and is called by De Montessus the "Mediterranean" or "Alpine -Caucasus -Him- alayan" belt. In this belt 53 per cent. of all recorded earthquakes have occurred. The second belt nearly encircles the Paclfic, fol- lowing the Andes, the mountains of western North America, the Aleutian island, Japan and the Philippines. This De Montessus calls the "circum-Uacifle" or "Andes -Japanese - Malayan" belt. In this belt have occurred 41 per cent. of all recorded earthquakes. in all the rest of the world the recorded earth- quakes equal only 0 per cent. ,of the total number.

The rural village of Toppesfield, in North Essex, has become prominent on account of a ronlarlcable phenomena in the births recorded there. During the last decade the great pre- ponderance reponderance of girls boat in the parish over boys has been noticed, and at the present moment t he s cholars attending the village school comprise ninety-three girls but only eleven boys. In conse- quenee,of this the county education au- thority is contemplating the substitu- tion of a schoolmistress for the present schoolmaster. But among those belonging to the place the present state of affairs has aroused considerable concern, and the question is being asked where the farm laborers of the future are to come from if platters do not change. The medical officer for the district has been consulted, but he can ascribe no cause for the greater num- ber of girls.—London Chronicle. +4 HOW ET SPREADS The first package of Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid (the infallible Pile cure) that was gnat out went to a small town in Nebraska.

A peculiar case of spontaneous com- bustion, or something like it, is des- cribed by . a writer in elassier's, Magazine. On February 17, 1006, two Large refri- gerator cars of young rosebushes were received at Hannibal, Mo., from a nurs- ery in California. They were shipped in Wooden cases containing numerous au- ger holes for ventilation and were care- fully packed with wet sphagnum, or California swamp moss, to prevent chaf- ing and to support their vitality. No ice was put in the cooling tanks, and the covers of these, as well as all other opening sin the cars were closed as tightly as possibe. The ears, were ten days in transit. The outside temper- ature was 60 degrees Fahrenheit at the start and 15 degrees at the end of the trip. Upon arrival steam -was issuing from every crevice of the cars. Upon removing the tank covers it rushed out in large volume. The doors were opened and ice was put in the tanks; the free circula- tion of cold air soon cooled the contents of the cars. In unloading it was discovered that some of the upper layers of boxes were badly damaged by heat, which naturally was most intense near the top of the cars. No signs of dctual combustion were found, but this would probably have oc- curred in a short time had not the cars been quickly cooled. The temperature must have been near- ly up to the burning point, as many of the green stems of these plants were black and brittle.

The average Maki woman is, perhaps invariably, not large or obese. Short in stature, plump and round of form. of pleasing countenance, with beautiful jet black hair banged at the eyes, when clad in tasteful and colored blanketry she presents a picture fair indeed to see. The manner of wearing the hair distin- guishes the married woman from the virgin. The latter wears her black tresses gracefully done up in a large round coil several inches in diameter over each ear and projecting out efrom the head somewhat. The effect is de- lightfully novel, and coupled with the fresh and youthful appearance of the girls make them special objects of inter- est. They used to be termed "side-wheel- ers," from their mode of dressing the hair. --Maxwell's Talisman. Minard's Liniment Cures Garget in Cows. p o.l► Indies Growth and Population.

The use of money in English parliamentary elections is supposed to be reduced to a minimum of decency and civic virtue. We are apt to hear considerable about English purity. Since last winter's elections, how- ever, there have been trials for corrupt prac- tices which revealed the purchase of votes and other shocking things which in this country are associated with Delaware and Rhode island, and now the official returns of money legitimately spent by the candidates Indicate that something is doing in good old England at election time. It cost the 570 members of parliament, aoceeding to their sworn statements, $5,884,290 to get elected. That was an average of neary $9,000 a man.

Remnants of the beaten ship still exist to -day. After the fight the Chesa- peake was bought by the admiralty. Then she and the Shannon were laid side by side in the Medway. After six years of idleness the admiralty apparently weeded out of the navy the ships thought to be out of date, and the Ches- apeake was sold as old timber for a paltry £500. Her manager broke her up, but her timbers were used to build a corn mill, which still stands in a peace- ful little village in Hampshire. And in the timbers of the mill can still be seen i the marks of the shot from the Shannon.
