THE COMMON HOUSE FLY.
When and Where 1t Breeds and How 10
Passes Through the Winter.

Passes Through the Winter.
The common house fly (.HuSca do
mesticd) is one of the most widely dis
tributef insects, and yet vay little is
known of its life history. Prof. Pack
ard, in his great work, Guide to the
Study of Insects" says: mo one has
traced the transformations of this fly in
this country" He then proceeds to
copy few lines from European work
in regard to the form of the larva, but
the information given in regard to its
early stages is meager and unsatis-
factory. Figuier, in his magnificent
illustrated work. THE Insect World"
after briefly describing the house fly
says: Every one knows how annoy
ing it is toward the end of summer.
and especially so in the south of
France during the hot season. But
he gives no information in regard to
its habits. where it breeds or lives in
the larva or grub state. We have also
consulted a number of chronological
works published in this country in re-
SCnt
additional information in regard to the
life history of the house fly. 1t is sup
posed, however. that the females de-
posit their eggs in all kind Of filth or
decaying vegetables and animal sub
stance. where they hatch. and the
grubs feed until they are transformed
into reddish-brown pupae, from which
the perfect flies issue during the warm
weather in summer and autumn.
Whether the eggs laid late in the
season pass the winter safely or after
becoming grubs remain half or wholly
dormant until spring is at present
unknown. But as house flies are found
in their perfect state in houses and
other buildings during the winter. it
may be that the entire summer broods
are the progeny of those few individu-
ais carried over from one season to the
next.-N. Y. Sun.

A MILLION YEARS.
Two Ways of Forming an Idea Of Such .
Vast Period of Time.


Vast Period of Time.
Astronomers and geolog habitu-
ally deal in large numbers. 1t is ut
terly impossible TO conceive of bill
lion miles, and even the familiar Illus
tration of a railroad train going so
many miles an hour for so many years
conveys very vague idea.
1t is equally difficult to form an
idea of the vast periods OF time with
which biologists deal. What idea can
man, who is limited to a hundred
years, form of a million years?
Prof. Croll tells us how striking i'm
preston of such 4 lapse of time may
be partially conveyed TO the mind:
Stretch a piece of paper eighty
three feet four inches long around the
walls of room somewhat over twenty
feet square, recall the events OF life to
give some conception of hundred
years, and then consider that a mark
one-tenth OF an inch broad ut one end
of the paper represents the century,
while the whole strip gives place for
only million years"
This illustration is worth trying.
An even more striking Illustration
may be seen in the works of nature.
Could we stand upon the edge OF
gorge q mile and a half in depth, that
had been cut out of the solid rock by
tiny stream scarcely visible at the
bottom of this terrible abyss, and were
we informed that this little streamlet
was able to wear of annually only
one-tenth OF an inch from its rocky
bed, what would our conception be of
the prodigiOus length Of time that this
stream must have taken To excavate
the gorge? We should certainly feel
startled on finding that the stream
had performed this enormous amount
of work in something less than mil

Misery and Woe.
There is never any telling what VIII
come of a chance acquaintanceship.
In rare instances they have turned out
well, but as a rule they have been ex.
ceedingly unfortunate, bringing misery
and shame where pleasure and happi-
ness might have reigned continually.
Young ladies and girls Of tender age
are in the habit of picking up acquaint.
ances on the streets, at parties and
picnics. These often prove quite
agreeable; so much so, indeed, that
they are kept up on the quiet. They
must be kept quiet because they dare
not take stranger TO their homes I'M
less they can give some account of him
and of his character. Clandestine
meetings are the result. These are
bad, very BAD in their very nature.

for home discipline, a well as TO de-
velop a disregard for parents. The

vicinity OF hotel is favOrite place
for flirting and picking up acquaint-
ances. The festive drummer is
there in all his glory, and
always waiting TO be picked
up. He is easy to pick up, but not so
easy to shake. Almost any young lady
knows just what sort of a fellow the
average drummer is. yet they are ever
willing to make up with him. They
are aware that he has a girl at every
one of his stopping places and proba-
bly, wife at home. Yet they firt

him. This is great fun for him and
very pleasant for her. at least for the
time. But what are the results9
Young gentlemen of responsibility and
worth note her conduct and let her
severely alone. They do not care to
attach themselves to one who is not
above flirting and associating with
strangers of whom she knows nothing
only what she sees. Every young lady
may mark it down as fact that if she
firts and associates with 'pick-ups,"
she will soon have no others for asso-
Eiates. No matter how unjust it may
be, there will always be the suspicion
that those who are not above making
acquaintance in this way are not as
pure in heart and mind as they ought
to be. II would be unjust to say that
no pure minded girls fiirt. They do,
and many of them lose their purity by
