HirriuSyilIp'S Babies.

Last weeks Lexington INTELIIGEN-

An ESSAY on Flies.


The fly has some advantage over II
man. For instance, he has u par of
double compound eyes, and with them
he can see III any direction or in all
directions at once without for IN in
stant turning his head.
These eyes have II 900 distinct
faces, and all of them have direct COM
munication with the brain, so that if -
man comes along on one side of him
and lump of sugar on the other, he
will be able to watch both of them and
steer for the sugar so long Us it is safe
on account of the man.
When he sees he can get one and
dodge the other, that is exactly what
he does, and he does not have to twist
his neck in two trying to keep track Of
the opposite object.
The fly is particular about the mir he
breathes. He hasn't Il very big mouth,
and his lungs are small in proportion
to his body, but he is particular what
he puts into them.
Good green tea, such rs the best of
the grOcers sell for Il dollar, stepped
pretty strong and well swcctencd, will
kill rs many flies Us drink of il. And
they will drink of il. 1t i, estimated
that Il pound of tea and two pounds of
sugar will rid room of flies within ten
days-that is, II small room.
Flies are voracious eaters. They do
not care so much what they eat rs when
they eat it. They are particular about
regular meals. They do not eat long
at II time nor much at time, but they
eat often.
Careful observers have stated that a
common house fly will eat 42,20O
square meals in twelve hours. One
female fly will produce 10000 young
ones in II single day, and they will
develop so rapidly rs To increase two
hundred fold in weight in twcnty-four
hours.
Scientists have never been able to
tell how II fly walks on the ceiling; or,
rather, they have never been able to
agree about il. All of them have told
but no two are alike in their cXplana-
ton. Some say that the fly has IN ail
pump in each of his numerous feet, and
that he walks up there by creating a
vacuum in his instcp and allowing the
pressure of the air TO sustain him.
Others thinks he carries Il minute
bottle of mucilagc around with him and
| lubricatcS his hoofs with it, SO that hC
can stay as long rs he wants to on any
surface, no matter what the attraction
of gravity may have to say about it

For Practical Men.

The opinion of eminent men of busi-
ness, to whom the chief end of human
endeavor is the accumulation of money,
that Il college course is waste of time
for young men who have not profess

parents. The entering classes at all

How to Sew Wounds.

In small wounds bit of rag will
keep the pieces of cut skin close to-
gether, but in larger wounds the edge
must be mechanically brought together.
Some do this by pieces of sticking
plaster, but more satisfactory results
are got by putting in few stitches.
Any one with little nerve can put
stitches INTO the edges of wound.
Bring them together, and keep them in
contact by tying the thread.
An ordinary needle will do; thread
it with silk, push through the skin
from the outside of the wound and
about one-twelfth of an inch from its
edge, draw the thread partly through,
then pierce the skin of the opposite
side from the inside of the wound,
bring the two edges together, tie the
thread with two or three knots, and
the opperation is complete. Put tn,
stitches about quarter of an incl
apart, and sew up all the wound.
Use clean needle, uncolored sill
thread, and dip both into boiling watel
before using.

Some Good i'm Pensions.

The attention of people who sneer at
all phases of the pension laws, good or
bad, including the publishers of some
newspapers, is called to the following
paragraph, simple and not written in
finest language, which tells of some of
the good points sometimes overlooked.
1t is from the Mount Zion correspond
cnt of the Sweet Springs Herald:
We heard two men disputmg about
the pension law last Monday. One
said the treasury was bankrupt. The
other said he sold COW for $500 to
II soldier that had just drawn apension,
and that the soldier was never able TO
buy COW before, and that he was
looking around for another pension
soldier To sell more COWS to.
