What Flies Are Good For.

What arc flies good for. any way!
Most people firmly believe that they
are solely to try the patience, or rather
the impatience of mankind. 1t is with
mingled feelings of comfort and alarm
that we read the following: Their par

sumption of the dead and minute ami.
mails whose decaying myriads would
otherwise poison the air. 1t vas a re-
mark Of Linn9us that three flies would
consume a dead horse sooner than a
lion could. He doubtless included the
families of the three flies. A single fly
will sometimes produce 20. 900 larve.
each of which in a few days may be the
parent of another 20. 900. and thus the
descendants of three dies would soon
devour an animal much larger than a
horse. A writer makes the following
computation: ''One fly % the Goth Of

chievous friends find out the destina-

of the kind occurred recently in Brook

PROTECTING


4 Subjec: Whose Importance Il Not Fully

School officers i'm this country have a
great deal of trouble in enforcing the
laws which were designed to protect
growing children i'm their right to grow.
A boy or q girl who works in Il cotton

place where the air is vitiated, or the
posture constrained or sedcntary, can
seldom attain the proper development
Of a human being. Such a Child is
cheated of a large part of his chance
of happy life. and it is the business of
. Government to prevent cheating.
All the civilized nations have laws
against this great wrong: Italy per-
mits children of nine TO work for wages.
but requires. rs q preliminary condi-
ton. the certificate Of a physician at
testing that the child is able to perform
the proposed work without injury.
Perhaps even this inadequate measure
is a little better than none. IT. y

Apys under thirteen and girls under
fourteen must not he kept at work
more than five hours aday. In Sweden

to six hours. and night work is abso-

Denmark permits children to labor

two hours attendance at school. In
Hungary no child under twelve may
work in q factory. except with Especial
license, and the days work for minors
is limited by law to eight hours.
