A FOOLISH FAD.
(Brantford Ifexporiltor.)
"Swat the fly," say the billeoards,
volc.iteg also the general public, sense or
teh Meese .of things. But FaWatting the
fly really amounts to nothing. The
poet of manor was right In his verse
In which he deserebed his succeas in kill-
ing flies and then found at the end or
his campaign that there were tour mil-
lions anore than when he began. The
thing that every community needs to
learn and take to heart with all sober-
ness is that the flY iS the product of all
filthy conditions, unsanitary practices
about premises, and since the fly is able
to move Trom a. thousand to fifteen hun-
dred feet, it is a comparatively easy
matter for any neghborhood by co-opera-
tion to free ituelf from that pest. There
would be very little invasion within the
borderland that produces nothing for the
fly to live on. The insect pest of what-
ever nature -fly, 1110SqUitu or what not -
will cease to annoy mankind only wnen
the conditions are removed that enaialos
It to live and multiply. In a word, the
watchword of progress in the world or
insect pests is "Clean up and keep
clean."

COAL IN CHINA.
As indicating the possibilities of
Chinese coal in markets of this and
other parts of the world, it is un-
deretood that the average cost of un-
screend coal at the pit mouth in
Fushun, Manchuria, is about 3s 6d,
or about 85 cents gold per ton. There
is no question that the extension of
railways in China will bring great
quantities of coal into these inarkets
at prices which will enable it to com-
pete with any or all coal in this
part of the world if not elsewhere.
The productcion of coal in Indo-China
is also flourishing. -Consular Report.

GUEST HOUSE OR ASIA MINOR.
The guest house is a real ineitution in
Asia Minor. it is soinetimes owned by
an individual, but is usually the com-
mon property of the vi1lae. To this
guest .house, like the traii:llers' bunga-
low in India, every traveller has ii.
right, but as all have the same rights,
one may have more company than he de.
sires. However, the head. man of the
village will usually arrange matters for
the foreign traveller, and the native
guest will often courteously make way
for him.
In the gueet house is one large room,
in one part of which our horses munch
their hay, with the drivers lying beside
them, while in the other part we spread
our rugs and set up our beds and un-
limber our cooking apparatus. Some
guest houses have two room connected
by a wide opening, without ft door, in
one of which the animals and animal
drivers sleep and in the other the pain-
peted guecits from abroad.

BANK CLERKS AND RACING.
(Ottawa Free Press.)
'lite bank clerk find himself in a pe-
euliar position; he vees rolls and rolls ot
money every day; he sees that money
will do; he has to think money; ne
dreams In dollars and cents; and he sees
so very little of it coming his way each
month. He has to keep up appearances
because it is the smart, clean looking
'bank clerk who is going to get along.
And so there is the temptation ,The
young clerk becomes acquainted with the
mysteries of bookkeeping. He seas how
figures and wearies may be juggled; how
he may get ahead of the game by specu-
lating or betting.
It is easy to see how the bank clerk
may go wrong. With human nature ea
constituted the wonder is that so few of
them actually do pilfer.
But as for betting it with race track
bookkeepers, that is nothing more or less
than a specles of inso.nity. The chalices
are, w, there are no chances except
those ssl h the "bookie."
