Flies broken loose? v It was near this same Fecoh, according to the General's story, that u Walter Andrews ltalister, formerly J living near Kansas City, Mo., won a ^ fortune l?y entering the famous Cavern r of Flies. The Cavern of Flies Is one of the a most wonderful ami, at the same time, oue of the most hideous places in the world^ , t Balister's adventure, in dariilg ami inexpressible terror, is not exceeded the most extravagant tliglits of lie- ? iiou. The nieniory of his experience d undoubtedly wore upon Balister's 11 mind, for he packed up six years ago and left his home, saying! ' "I ant going to Greenland, where it is too Cold for Hies." * It is not known in what year he " went to Yucatan. By a strange whim 11 of fortune this tall, thin youth, from r the district of Missouri, where the 11 .Tames boys had their haunts, found himself shipping from New Orleans as d one of a party to explore the ancient P ruins of Yucntan. ^ When he returned to Jackson County in 18R0 his old friends did not know t him. His face and hands were cov- h ered with countless tiny blue spots, as t if ho had been tattooed. Ho had t plenty of money. *lH??-ugti tie went t fvo?? nrisSburi hills with nothing except the six-shooter in his hip poc- s ket. He built a line house. Each window c of the house was provided with firm h wire netting. A summer house in the o grounds was built, enmeshed entirely with netting. When asked why he used all this expensive wire netting, f< Balister replied, gruflly: n "To keep out Hies!" h Soon his black servants told a !> strange story. Their master's chief a requirement was that they should let no Hies into the house. If he heard tl one buzzing, every person in the bouse was ordered to kill that fly, to tl do nothing until the fly was killed. ? One day Balister found a black boy tl asleep with a fly perched on his nose, s1 He struck the boy a blow that all but killed him! P It was too near the big up-to-date s< town of Kansas City for black boys to tl bo struck down by their masters, tl hence Balister was arrested for assault with intent to kill. h He declared he aimed at the fly, not i' the boy. This excuse was considered si i bit of grim humor. It was this circumstance that led ni he strange man to tell to the late a< Lteneral J. O. Shelby the story of the w "Cavern of Flies." General Shelby gi told the story several times in convivial moments. Bulister's father was one of my ol iravest soldiers," said General Shelby, and rode to Mexico with me rather p: ban surrender to the Yankees. I met b ,'oung Balister, but never asked him p vliat made his face bine. Gentlemen, hat man was blue all ovir! When he ft vas charged with trying to kill the ai >ov, he said to me: b " 'General, it is no joke?I did aim el it the fly!' w "Then he told me the story which, b ie said, had never passed his lips beoro, it was so paiuful for him t<? toll, h "It seems that somewhere in the incrior of Yucatan, near Feeoh, two of o< he expedition, nccoinpanietl by Balis- 1 ti er. found a lot of ruins covered by j orest trees.

They had never seen any hi lies of that sort in that land of flies. "Determined to solve the mystery if the underground passage, the party ! st tovered their faces and hands with ' tn iloths and pushed resolutely on | hrough ever-increasing clouds of flies, tl Vh they went further the ancient air ; m (rew warmer and moist, and an iutol w riilde odor assailed thein. They wer tl lriven back, f? ft.-o, but the uprising of countless aillions ami billions of flies! "The swarms blotted out the rifts of laylight, The torches were extin;uished, and the men fell upon their aces to escape the attack. "Then, joining hands, they sought o find the tunnel through which they iad entered. The pests got under heir clothes, under the cloths over heir faces, and they were bitten in a housand places. "Balister said his companions creamed with agony! "They groped along the sides of the avern, but everywhere their frantic ands felt nothing but the bony legs f the dead. "Balister, gentlemen, was not a fat, pectaeled scientist. He was a strong, earless young mau of the stuff that ever surrendered. Yet he said that e felt his mind melting like a snowall in an oven. He wanted to scream nd gibber! "But, observe Missouri instinct all jis time?he clung to his booty! "Ho does not know how long the iree men struggled in that avalanche f insects that choked them, that bit lem in the gullet even as they were wallowed. "Balister lost hold of bis cornunions. Their screams, he said, blinded muffled in the angry roar of 10 myriads of flies which were eating lem alive! "Almost ready to full and have his ones picked, Balister, by Missouri istinct, drew his gun and began to joot! "Although shooting at flies was lere madness, Balister said that the ?t of shooting savod his sanity. It as so natural an act for a Missonrian, entlemen! " 'I yelled,' B.ilister said to me, vhen I saw, by the flashes, the mouth T the tunnel!' " 'Come on!' he shouted to his comunions, shooting as he ran and stumled through tlio tunnel. The flies ursued hiui every step. "He plunged into the court of the lined temple, threw down his booty, nd there tore off his clothes and rushed from his flesh tho llies that ung like leeches. He was black itli them, black and red?for the lood ran in streams. "Running to the camp he smeared imself with ointment.

In the event of a serious accident, these cars can be run to the place of the disaster, where the injured may bo picked up and carried to the nearest large city for treatment instead of being left to pass long hours at some wayside station while awaitiug surgical attendance. It also enables the railway companies at certain seasons or upon special occasions to transport large numbers <jf invalids to health resorts or places of pilgrimage. The interior of the c? is divided into a main compartment, a corridor on one side and two small rooms at the end. The largest compartment is tlio hospital proper; it contains twenty-four isolated beds. Each patient lies in front of two little windows. Each bed is provided with a movablo table, and a cord serves to hold all the various small objects which the patient may require. The corridors on tho outside lend to the linen closet and the doctor's apartment. Various trap doors in tho floor, when opened, disclose to view an ice chest, a compartment for the disinfection of soiled linen, and a provision* cellar. If necessary, a portion of the hospital chamber may ho transformed into an operating room for urgent cases. Finally, as customary abroad, a small chapel for religious worship is provided. This car will bo put in charge of a surgeon and nurses, and will ho chiefly used to carry invalids from Belgium direct to tho heulth resorts of France. Tliey Do Not Marry Young.

Hennikor, Registrnr General for England and Wales, lias only now completed bis detailed report for 1895, and he statos that the mean ages of those who entered wedlock in that year were about twenty-eight and a half yoars for men and slightly over twonty-six years for women. These figures, however, includo the ages of widowers and widows who re-enter the matrimonial estate, and who ought properly to he excluded from the calculation, for the average age of widowers who re-marry is over forty-four, while that of widows is forty. If, therefore, we deal oidy with the case of bachelors and spinsters, we find that the mean ages on marriago are twenty-six and n half and twenty-five respectively.

The accident alarmed the boys, fo though no one but the unobserved wlte ne?s know of It beside themerfves.

A good innny impatient minutes passed before the little fellow r* who broke the glass came back with the superintendent. The man was kind-hearted, and when the awful question came, "What shall I have to pay?" he refused to charge anything for the damage. I "You're an honest lad, nnd we'll call It square.

If wo ? could be certain that each of the other little men in that group would have t done as he did in the same case, it would help answer the question, and * ; quite relieve the mind of an unpleasant uncertainty.
