The telephone is now so much a part of our daily lite and so necessary to out modem transactions that the public is apt to forget that it has been in use less than three decades. Thirty years ago when tbe telephone was first placed on exhibition at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and the managers took so little interest in the invention that they allotted it an obscure position. As a matter of fact, but for the interest taken in it by Dom Pedro, the Emperor of Brazil, the telephone mignt not have attracted much popular attention dun iug the Centennial. Dem Pedro's in- terest in it made it one of the features of the show, and the inventor, Alexaud. er Graham Bell, recited over it Hamlet's soliloquy, greatly to the Emperor's de- light.

(Montreal Herald) Just what useful part in the economy of nature the common housefly plays are not easy to discover, unless it be to set a supreme example of what may be ac- complished by unboundeoleimpudence, but as a carrier of disease and death it ranks but little if at all iuferior to that dangerous pest the mosquito. The housefle, by way of return for the hospitality that it demands and takes without waiting for the ceremony of in- vitation,makes itself suchen unmitigated nuisance that the thetic of humanbeings is unable to harbor a kindly feeling to- wards it, moat universally tolerant and sympathy and with the average morel the prevailing condition is one of con- stant warfare. It is probably well for the health of humanity that the discomfort caused by the fly when its numbers become legion is so great that steps towads destruction, if not extermination are resorted to without compunction. So strong is the feeling aroused that even the most benevolent can behold without an lint pulse of generosity or pity the spectacle of an orgy of torture in the deathtrap cf tanglefoot. There were only 454 Americans killed during the Spanish-Atnericaft war, but 6,277 died of typoid fever, and according to Dr. Dixon, State Health Commissioner of Pennsylvania, the housefly was re- sponsible for the majority of these. This big Authority on hygiene recom- mends that a leaf be taken out of the mosquito campaign book and that the breeding planes of the fly should be. come the object of concentrated and eysteinatio attack. The breeding plates are many. The eggs are laid in decaying 'vegetables matter and animal matter and in refuse of various kind. All such matter should be carefully eliminated front the promisee, but where there are aCOUratlla- tiona that can only be romoVed periodi- cally- they should be daily sprinkled with chlorinated linae. Quite as much care should be taken to keep flies from the house as is taken to exeludemosquitoet where those insect pests prevail, and all food should alwaysibe oarefUlly screened front them TOWN DIRECTORY, 1.).•••••••••••••••••• Local history of the early 13 Qs, Barrise 0111:1ROR-,-$ahhath services at Items from The "Times" fyles 11 a, nu and 7 p nt.

Wingham, Ont. for Gain. i Ware between states are not ire - (meat, and are decidedly shorter -we could hardly, for instance, think of a Hundred Years' war, and doubt the possibility of a war lasting a genera- tion -but the conduct of the peoples In respect to war shows definite retro- gression, says the London Spectator. The evil spirit of the old ruling class, with its ambitions and its thirst for aggrandisement, has spread downward almost to the bottom. The peoples are , hungering for plunder as much as ever le the old kings and nobles were. They want more trade, they say, and by trade they mean more conquered mar- kets in whieb. they can establish a mo - =poly. That is what the Germans naean when they urge their government to eget a war for the sake of ascendency in Morocco, and so to place their peo- ple "in the sunshine;" that is what all the sacrifices for a great. fleet mean in the sante country, and the eager ap- plause of a sovereign who has an ambi- tious Weltpolitik; that Is what the French mean when they seek aggran- disement in western Africa; and that is what we mean when we fret in a rather feeble way because our rivals contend successfully against us in se- curing commercial custom.. It is true we do not try to monopolize, but part. at least of that forbearance arises from a profound, and usually true, convic- tion that free trade helps us to make profit in all markets. This passion for more profit ts the root of the present restless jealousy under which every nation suspects its neightor, and begs of its government to obteeri more territory in which sub- ject populations can be compelled to buy its goods. Sometimes this passion shows itself in rather base as well as foolish forms, the governments being urged by masses of voters to employ their "influence" to secure "conces- sions," often for individual firms. The diplomatists, to do them Justice, dis- like this pressure exceedingly; it seems to them like asking bribes; but they must, of course, obey instructions. And so in Peking railway and mining concessions are granted to avoid men- aces; and in Constantinople loans are granted, and in Morocco loans will be granted, on condition that the money shall be spent in buying goods, usually cannon, from the countries giving the accommodation. It is the plan of the old money -lenders, who made their customers take part of their loans in pictures or .bad champagne. CLEVER NEWS GATHERING. E. L.

It was to be secret and every effort was made to prevent its proceeding from becom- ing public, writes Melville E. Stone In "The Associated Pres" in Century. A brick wall was constructed about the hall to prevent anyone having ac- cess to it. But, to the amazement of every one, the Associated Press had a daily report of all that hap- pened. One of the members of the noble guard was an Associated Press man. Knowing the devotion of the average Italian for the dove, he took with him into the conclave chamber, his pet dove, which was a homing pigeon trained to go to our office. But Cardinal Rampolla could not be deceived -he ordered the pigeon killed. Other plans, however, were more successful. Laundry lists sent out with the soiled linen of a cardinal and and physician's prescriptions sent to a pharmacy, proved to be code mes- sages which were deciphered in our office. We were enabled not only to give a complete and accurate story of the happenings within the conclave, but we announced the election of the new pope, which occurred about 11 a. m. in Feome, so promptly that, ow- ing to the difference in time, It was printed Itt the morning papers of San Francisco of that day. We were also enabled to send the announcement back to Europe before It was received from Rome direct, and it was our message that was printed In alt the European capitals. The Italian au- thorities did not interfere with these messages. Russia's Loss of Preetige. Never did a nation lose prestige aa Russia has lost it under the regime of Nicholas.
