House Flies,
Home aOd Farm.

Home aOd Farm.
Most housewives think that be.
cause there is fruit around the house
there must of necessity be flies.
They simply come in our houses be-
cause there are things to eat and also
because we do not keep them out.
They may live in the barn where
they come from and also out-of.doors.
We meet with any number of them
during "dog days." and their real
mission is to remove decaying SUBJ
stances from the atmosphere. The
larvae of our common house-fy feed
on horse-manure and on nothing else.
AS warm weather sets in, the fe-
males go to the barnyard where they
lay so to 100 eggs at a time. These
eggs soon hatch and in four days are
full grown maggots, one-half of an
inch long. They then go into the
ground, from which in six or seven
days more they come out as six-leg-
ged flies. They increase SO rapidly
that if female lays only so eggs and
only one-half of them become flies
the increase of a single female in one
season will amount to upward of two
millions. The remedy for them is t.
remove the breeding places BY tax
ing the horse manure to the field.

where the flies cannot getto it

Little Things.

A very sensible writer says to
young persons, "Whatever you do, i
it be only to put on your hat or
throw aside your gloves, do it decid-
eddy and earnestly, eschewing all
listlessness." Don't laugh at this
little bit of advice, for, simple as it
is, assure you it is more important
than you imagine. Why? Because
if you are listless in little things, you
will be listless also in great ones; and
if you put energy of will into small
matters, you will acquire the energy
of will requisite for the doing of inn
portant duties. Without such ac-
quired energy of will you cannot
give that attention to study and
work which is essential to success.
Remember that the main thing in
achieving results is attention-close
attention, energetic attention, con-
tinued attention. To gain this pow
er you must will to do even little
things with energy which while ii
uses, also increases strength. BE
strong-willed, therefore, but be SURF
that you are also right willed.

Religious Dogs.

The famous st. Bernard dogs are
very carefully. trained. A traveller
who visited some of the monasteries of
the monks of st. Bernard, few years
ago, found the monks teaching their
dogs from the earliest stages of puppy
hood. Not only is physical and
mental training included in the
teaching, but spiritual culture is by
no means neglected. AT meal>time,
the dogs sit in row, each with a tin
dish before him containing his repast

Prejudice.

The following forcible and beauti-
full delineation of prejudice isascribed
to President Lincoln:
"Prejudice may be compared to a
misty morning in October; a man
goes forth to an eminence, and he
sees at the summit of a neighboring
hill figure apparently Of gigantic
stature, for such the imperfect medi-
UNI through which he is viewed
would make him appear; he goes
forward few steps, and the figure
advances toward him the size lessons
as they approach !; they draw still
nearer, and the extraordinary APP
pearance is gradually but sensibly
diminished at last they meet and

a monster proves to be his own broth.

According to the records of the
signal service Office at Nashville,
Tennessee has already haduq too SO
inches of rainfall this year, and as
our average is 50 inches per year,
there remains but 16 inches of rain
for the next six months. This would
indicate quite dry summer. The
temperature also has big surplus Of
warm weather to its credit, conse.
quently to average up the year we
must have cool summer, or else

Effect of Bad Positions.

An erect bodily attitude is of vastly
more Importance to health than
most people generally imagine.
Crooked bodily positions, maintained
for any length of time, are always in
furious, whether in the sitting, stand
ing or lying posture, whether
sleeping or waking. To sit with the
body leaning forward on the stomach
or to one side, with theheels eleva-
ted on level with the hands, is not
only in bad taste, but exceedingly
detrimental to health; it cramps. the
stomach, presses the vital organs,
interrupts the free motion of the
chest, and enfeebles the functions OF
the abdominal and thoracic organs,
and, in fact, unbalances the whole
muscular system. Many children
become slightly hump,backed or Sc
verely rounl-shouldered by sleeping
with the head raised on a high pill,
low. When any person finds il
easier to sit or stand or walk or SLEEP
in a crooked position than straight
one, he may be sure his muscular
system is deranged, and the more
careful he should be to preserve al
upright positinp.

Dispatch.

Affected dispatch is one of themOst
dangerous things to business that can
be it is like that which the physi-
clans call predigestion, or hasty d.
gestion, which is sure to fill the body
full of crudities and secret seeds of
disease ; therefore, measure not dis
patch by time of sitting, but by the
advancement of the business; and as,
in races, it is not the large stride, or
high lift, that makes the speed, so, in
business, the keeping close to the
matter, and not taking of it too
much at once, procures dispatch. 1t
is the care of some only to come of
speedily for the time, or to contrive
some false periods of business, be-
cause they may seem men of dispatch;
but it is one thing to abbreviate by
contracting, another by cutting off
and business, so handled at several
sittings or meetings, grows common
ly backward and forward in an un.
steady manner. We knew a wise
man that had for a by-word, when
