How the House Flies Winter.

The Wilmington; On. c. Messenger
says:-SOme one has asked where do
flies go in winter This is. question
of some interest, for house fly is born
fully grown and of mature size, and
there are no little flies of the same
species, the small ones occasionally OBJ
served being different in kind from the
large ones. The house fly does not bite
or pierce the skin, but gathers its food
by a comb or rake or brush-like tongue,
with which it is able to scrape the var
nish from covers of books, and it thus
tickles the skin of persons upon whom
it alights to feed upon the perspiration.
A fly is scaycnger, and is vehicle by
which contagious diseases are spread.
1t poisons wounds and may carry deadly
virus from decaying organic matter into
food. 1t retires from the sight at the
beginning of winter, but where it goes
few persons know. If n search of the
house be made they will be found in
great numbers secrettd in warm places
i'll the roof or between the partitions or
floors. Last winter we had occasion to
examine a roof, and found around the
chimney myriads of flies alternating
comfortably, and sufficiently lively to fly
when disturbed sin oyerpowering
clouds. No doubt this is Il favorite
winter resort for these creatures,

that family of smugglers had just set

upon my hands. A clamor was heard
at the door. The revenue officers rushel

white forehead, as handsome in death as
in life. The smuggler's wife looked at
him; then uttered Shrek. Harry she
screamed, my son. Then turning to
the smuggler, she cried: Murderer,

smuggler said not word. He put a
pistol to his forehead and blew out his
brains"

Made Blind in an Instant.

A catastrophe such as few men have
the stoicism to bear and few survive, has
come like a thunderclap upon Charles
Cullman of 50 Browne street. Last
Saturday night, while auditing the books
of the Bellevue Building Association, Mt
their rooms on McMicken avenue, he
turned suddenly to one of the bystand-
RS and angrily exclaimed:
"Why do you turn out the gas? I'm
not through yet"
"Turn out the gas What's the
matter with you? The gas is burn
ing"
"My God, then I'm blind!" cried
Cullman, and, sinking back in his
chair, from which he had arisen in his
excitement, he buried his face in his
hands and moaned and wept like a
child.
DR.. Schwartmeyer, his regular physic-
lean, was hastily sent for, and only ar
rived to confirm the worst fears.
Cullm was indeed blind.
Without premonitory sign, without
warming, the blow had come, and as
he sat there bemoaning his sad fate,
eyes grew dim. Friends took him by
the hand and trembled with emotion as
they tried to speak words of hope and
comfort. The stricken man only moan
ed. "My wife Ny little ones !"
A diagnosis followed, and it was dis
covered that Cullman had for some time
been a sufferer from Bright's disease of
the kidneys. The exudations of the
albumen from these organs caused
uremic blood poisoning, which gradual
ly prevailed the whole system of the
sufferer. Step by step the disease spread,
and contraction of the kidneys followed,
resulting in inflammation of the retina or
optic nerve, hopelessly destroying the
sight forever. The case, although not
an isolated one, is extremely rare, death
generally ensuing before such crisis
arrives. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cheerful for the Doctor.

A country doctors life is not oyerlaid
with elder down nor eternalIy sprinklcd
with fresh rose leaves.
a few weeks ago DR.. Blank was sum-
moned at midnight to house that
stands some distance from any other, in
a rural district near this city. A stable
hand had been kicked by horse and
lay in q critical condition. The doctor
flung on his clothes, jumped into bug
gy and drove as fast as he could through
rain storm over heavy roads to the
house where the injured man lay. He
had never been to the house before, but
he had heard OF its owners prediction
for savage dogs and he was not surprised
therefore when he drove up to the door
to hear baying and barking in several
keys within the house.
After considerable knocking Il woman
came to the door and opened it about an
inch to inform the doctor that he'd have
to be very careful about entering, for she
could hardly keep back the dogs.
The doctor is plucky man, and re-
sisted the strong desire he felt to get
back into his buggy. The door was
opened enough for him to slide through
and he entere dimly lighted hall. In
front of him were arranged two large
mastilIs, a bulldog and greyhound, and
between him and them stood the woman
who had let him in. She was the house
keeper, and she carried in one hand q
lamp and in the other thick cudgel.
AS he entered the hall all the dogs
plunged for him simultaneously, but the
housekeeper laid about her with the
club and the animals retreated, bowling
savagely. He went upstairs at once to ,
the room where the patient lay, and the |
housekceper fought with the dogs all |
the way up, but succeeded in protecting
the doctor.
Coming down afterwards the house
keeper had the same difficulty with the
dogs, and, as the doctor sprang into the |
carriage, the bulldog made a rush for
him aud planted his teeth i'll the doctors
trousers The garments were luckily |
of cheap and poor material, and the leg |
which was in the dogs mouth gave
way.
The doctor was glad to get off so
cheaply, and the bulldog, he thinks, was
disguised at his investment in an inferior
grade of cloth.
And the best of it is that the operation
he performed at the risk of being torn
to pieces by pack of hounds will never
bring cent to the Doctor The mis-
erly owner Of the dogs simply declines
to pay, though the doctor was called by
his orders.

An American Duchess.

The American Duchess, is the name
which London has already bestowed on
His Grace of Marlborough's bride. There
is great curiosity about her, her appear
ance, her fortune, her family, her future
and her relations to her husbands fami-
ly. On the latter point all doubts are
put at rest by the dowager Duchess Of
Marlborough, who approved of the
match from the first and who announces
that they will come to her house in Gros-
venor Square for the first week or two of
their stay in London. That disposes of
the social question. The position of the
Dukes mother is such that her support
will insure the new Duchess a good
reception. ''Anybody with ESQ, 900 a
year will have a good reception in Lon
don, growlel one elderly cynic. That
is not quite 50, as at least one recent ex-
ample shows. But laly who enters
London society, backed ly the Marlbor-
ough family, which includes the Dowag-
err Duchess and Lady Curzon and Lady
Randolph Churchill, has little to fear.

The popular idea that razor needs
rest occasionally has a scientific founda-
ton in the case of very fine razors. The
grain of the best Swedish razors runs
in diagonal direction from the upper
end of the outer point toward the handle
Constant stropping will twist the steel
until the grain sets up and down, and
steady use draws the grain still further
over. When it gets into this condition
it cannot be kept sharp, but if laid away
and left alone for while the grain will
resume its first position and the razor be
as good as new again.

AT WEST POINT.
A Cadet Who Was Undergoing Ex-
emp larry Punishment.

The cadets wear rolling collar which
! they must roll themselves and which has
to be rolled in three different ways be-
fore it is rolled right The other day
one of the cadets committed the unpar-
donable offence of only rolling his collar
twice. The sharp, practiced, military
| eye of some superior detected him and
called him to account. A heavy musket
was put into his hands and he was direct
| ed to pace up and down given gravel
walk, right in the broiling sun, looking
neither to the right nor to the left, his
rigid arms glued to his body, his head
borne under a heavy helmet. Thus he
walked and perspired and perspired and
walked. [ shudder to think of what
might have happeded to him had he
mOpped his brow or winked his eyes.
Shortly afterward q free American citi-
zen, who had presumably come up on
m excursion, and had become happy as

'fShouller armsh!"
