Washington Capital: Among the

battle of Gettysburg published by the
daily press during the recent celebra-
ton OF it's quarter centennial, ] have
seen no allusiOn to the story of Jenny
Wade, who was the only woman killed
in that conflict. She was "a young and
very attractive girl, living in n double
red brick house on the Baltimore pike,
east of the town. On the first day of
the combat, when the Eleventh corps,
under Mai. j.-Gen. q. .. Howard was
forced back to Cemetery Hill, and
5000 OF their number captured i'm the
street, Jenny was engaged IN her usual

Where Do Flies Go +!

New York Graphic: Some one has
asked, "Where do flies go in winter?"
THIS is n question OF some interest, for
a house fly is born fully grown and of
mature size, and there are no little
iie> OF the same species, the small ones
occasionally observed being different
in kind from the larger ones. The
house fly does not bite or pierce the
skin, but gathers it's food by comb
or rake or brush-like tongue, with
which it is able to scrape the varnish
from covers OF books, and it thus
tickles the skin of person upon whom
it alights to iced upon the perspira-
tiOn.
\ fly is a scavenger, and is a vehicle
by which contagious diseases are
spread. 1t pOisons wounds, and may
carry deadly virus from decaying or
ganic matter into food. 1t retires
from sight at the beginning of the win
ter, but where it goes few persons
know. Ii II search OF the house be
made they will be found i'm great num-
bers secreted in warm places in the
roof or between the partitions or
floors. Last winter we had occasion
to examine u roof and found around
he chimney myriads of flies hibernat-
ing comfortably and sufficiently lively
to fly when disturbed "in overpower-
ing clouds No doubt this is a favor
