Something About House F1i.s.

Some one has asked where do flies go in
the 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
smalf ones occasionally observed being
different In Kind from the large ones. The
house fy does not bite nor pierce the
skin, but gathers Its food by q 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
persons upon which It alights to feed
upon the perspiratioA.
A fly is q scavenger, and Is a vehicle by
which contagious diseases are spread. It
poisons wounds, and may carry deadly
virus from decaying organic matter into
food. It retires from the sight at the
beginning Of winter, but where it goes
few persons know. If search of the
house Is made, they will be found in great
numbers secreted In warm places in the
roof OF between the partitions or floors.
Last winter we had occasion to examine a
roof, and found around the chimney myr-
lads Of flies alternating comfortably and
sufficiently lively to fly when disturbed
'in oferpowering clouds" No doubt this
Is favorite winter resort for these crea-
lures. Wilmington IN. o. Messenger.

The Whole Country Mourns Him.
Cardinal Gibbons spoke briefly, calling
attention to the fact that although the
deceased had won a reputation in tine
war between the sections, the whole
united country now join in paying trib-
; ute to him. He referred to his modesty
and his expression of the hope in late
years that war might be averted by
peaceful methods, and also his affection
for his family. Sheridan, he said, was q
Christian man and died in the humble
hope of blissful Immortality He closed
with words of consolation to the family.

Picture of San Francisco.

! cannot truthfully say that the city of
San Francisco is beautiful one; but 1t is
strangely unique, possessing like New Or
leans characteristics peculiar to itself.
Knob Hill, one Of the highest points In
the city, commanding vast and extended
view, boasts q number of bonanza resi-.
dences. all elegant and costly structures,
the bronze fence of the Flood mansion
costing alone 100000. A birds eye view
of the city shows an interminable mass Of
wooden buildings. not drowned in green
or softened by clambering vines. but
standing ont. every point and pinnacle
bare, In the brazen sunshine. There Ii
scarce tree to be seen In any direction
you may choose to look. The general ina.
preston Is barrenness. It seems like q
city planted In the desert. for around and
about it are sand dunes and barren wastes
and treeless mountains, and only the
beautiful bay saves it from an indescrib-
able desolation Of appearance.
This is, OF course. birds eye view of
the city. In It's immediate center all is
hustle and business-the FIRE and energy
of great enterprlse-and have never
seen more beautiful goods or morn mag
niHcent stores or broader streets or more
stylish women. San Francisco Cor. New
Orleans Times Democrat.

Speaking of Harriet Hogmer, the cele-
brated sculptor, who IN her childhood
lived at WatertoHn. Mass, ON old citizen
Of that town, who knew the family well,
says that her mother and sister had died
from consumption. so her father, who
was physician. determined to give her
all the advantages OF m outdoor life
She was taught to ride and shoot and
climb trees and do everything that boys
do. When she was sent to school she
found it very difficult to bend gracefully
to rules and regulations. and the conse-
quence was that she was twice expelled
But she was only Wild, not vicious, and
finally buckled down to study. At the
age Of 10 she developed decided talent
for sculpture, and her father fitted up 8
studio for her; but It was afterward de-
termined TO send her to Rome for study,
and there the high spirited girl worked
hard and soon had pleasant home Of her

The attention Of expertmcnters Is being
directed to the subject Of photography
without lenses, which offers possibilities
vet unknown. Tho plan yields an Inn
portant advantage In the fact that images
of various sizes may be obtained with q
singls apparatus by simply changing the
distanoe Of the camera front from tho
plate and varying the opening from one
fiftieth OF one-sixtieth of an inch for
small pictures to one-twenty fifth Of an
inch for large ones. Tho negatives lack
the.sharpness given by lenses. A curious
result of this has been obtained by Capt.
Cclson In a copy Of an ereraving In which
no trace of lines can be seen without 9
magnifying glass. A present drawback
to this kind of photography Is the length
of exposure necessary. but this will
doubtless soon be Observation-Disclosures
