AN ESSAY ON FLIES.
Some of the characteristics OF the Insect
Which DefleI Man.

Some of the CharacterIstIcs OF the Insect
Which DefleS Man.
The fly has some advantage over
man. For instance. he has q pair of
double comnC''nd~ res, and with them
he car >e,' ! any direction or in all di-
rcc;I-As at once without for an instant
turning his head.
These eyes, says the Chicago Herald.
have four thousand distinct faces. and
all of them nave direct communication
with the brain, SO that if man comes
along on one side of him and a lump of
sugar ON the other, he will be able to
watch both of them and stay for the
sugar SO long as it is safe on account of
tn" man.
When he secs 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 air he
brcathcS. lie hasn't n very big mouth,
and his lungs arc small in proportion to
his body, but he is particular what he
puts into them.
Good green tea. such as the best of
the grOccrs sell for dollar, stepped
pretty strong and we'll swectened, will
kill as MANY flies as drink of it. And
they will drink of it as readily as q
coon" will play craps. 1t is estimated
that pound of tea and two pounds of
sugar will rid room of flies within ten
d1yS--that is, a small room.
Flies are voracious eaters. They do
not care SO much what they cat as when
they eat it. They are particular about
regular meals. They do not cat long ut
n time nor much at n time, but they cat
often.
Careful observers have stated that a
common house fly will eat forty-two
thousand two hundred square meals in
twelve hours. One female fly Will pro-
dUce twenty thousand young ones in q
single day, and they will develop SO rap
idly rs to increase two hundred-fold in
weight in twcnty-four hours.
Scientists have never been able to tell
how fly walks on the ceiling; or, rath-
or, they have never been able to agree
about it. Ill of them have told, but no
two are alike in their explanation. Some
say the fly has an air pump in each of
its numerous feet, and that he walks up
there by creating n vacuum in his in
step and allowing the pressure of the
air to sustain him.
Others think he carries a minute bot
tic of mucilagc around with him and
lubrlcates his hoOfs with it, so that he
can stay as long rs he wants to on any
surface, no matter what the attraction
Of gravity may have to say about it.
between these two schools of thought
you may take your choice.

''Skc vclly bad!" shouted the China

INGEIsSOLL'S CitEcEI.

The following extracts from letter
written by IngersoIl 10 mother vino
was incOnSolaole over tho death of
her son seems to embody his agnos-
ticism and also show tho beauty of
his thoughts and words:
u * )" IF there be a God, let us be-
licve that he is good; and if no is good
the good have nothing to fear. /
have been told that your son was kind
and generous; that he WIS iil.ed with
charity and sympathy. Now We know
in this world that like begets like,
kindness produces kindness, and all
good bears the fruit OF joy; Gelief is
nothing aiN 'eyerjtti:g; and
if your son was kind, he wiilnaturally
find kindness wherever he may be.
You would not lntiict endless pain
upon your worst enemy. Is God
worse than you? You could not bear
to see IL vipcr 9Rtfer forever. Is it
possible that God Will doom a kind
and generous boy to everlasting pain?
Nothing can be more monstrousIy
absurd and cruel. The truth is that
no human being knows anything of
OF what is beyond the grave. If
nothing is known, then it is not
honest for anyone to pretend that he
does know. Ii nothing is known,
then we can hope only tor good. Ii
there be God, your boy is no moro
in his power now than he was before
his death-no more than you are ut
this moment. Why should We fear
God more after death than before?
Does the feeling Of God toward his
children change the moment they
die? While thoy are alive they Sly
God loves us. True love never
changes. l beg of you to throw away
ali fear. Take counsel of your own
heart. If God exists, your heart is
the best revelation OF Him, and your
heart could never send your boy to
endless pain. After all, no one knows.
The ministers know nothing. All the
churches in the world know no more
on the subject than the ants on the
ant-hills. Creeds are good for moth
ing except to break tho hearts OF the
loving. y 4; 4: II we cdn get no comfort
from what people know, lot us ayoid

ONLY THREE STOCKS HANDLED AND
VALUES SLIGHTLY SHADED.

Bank and Insurance Interests More Active
in the Bidding-The Big Luster Mill at
Work-Talk About Electric . Outlook
for the Coming Meeting.
The local stock market opened rather
weak yesterday, braced up little at the
second call, fell back at the third, and closed
at about medium figures. The only stock
that finished with gain was Philadelphia
Gas. Electric lost H and Luster n. The
fractions were featureless and barely
steady.
Gossip was about as scarce as business
The drift Of opinion among the brokers
seemed to be that there would be little, if
any, trouble at the coming meeting of the
Electric Company. The fact that over 12O-
600 shares have been surrendered was ac-
cepted as full assurance that the reol ganiza-
ton plan will be adopted. From this time
until the 15 h the surrender of stock will be
under new conditions, the nature of which
is unknown to outsiders, but, as the COM
pany de sres unanimity, it is probable they
will impose very little additional hardship or
sacrifice.
Word was received that the big mill for
the Luster Mining Company was in opera
tion. Results will be anXiously awaited by
stockholders
Bank and insurance stocks were in better
request than for long time, denoting that
investors are swinging over to these old
timers. Bonds were in fair demand.
The light inquiry.afor Traction stock is in
terpreted as indicating dissatisfaction with
the outlook of these properties. The fact
that they will be put to additional expense
to guard the crossings and constant liability
to accident have relegated them, temporarf-
ly at least, to the background. Such activity
as they show is spasmodic. Sales were:

THE FOREIGNERS ATTITUDE.
THEY ARE NEITHER BUYERS NOR
SELLERS ON WALL STREET.

Trading in Stocks Again Local. Professional
and Extremely Dun-A Few Shares
Monopolize the Small Activity-No Ma
terial Gains-Bonds Also Stagnant.
NEW YORK, July S.-The dullness in the
STOCK market continued to increase to-day,
and the trading was almost entirely devoid
OF feature, the movements in only few
stocks possessing any significance what
ever. There was consequently no tendency
IN either direction among prices, and the
nuctuat1ons were perceptible only In the
leading shares. The trading, such as 1t was,
caso was entirely local. neither London nor Gni
point TO the fact that the late limited Duy1ng
mas been principally by the trading element
TO cover outstanding short contracts.
Ine point is made that while we may sell
gram and products in large quantities to the
foreigners this season, they are not likely to
take any securities under the Industrial and
nnanclal conditions now ruling, and, there
fore, the promoters of bull market must
reckon without the probability OF help from
that source; but if London is not buyer. it
Is not seller at present, and foreign holders
are as tenacious of their securities as those
nearer home, so that any interference from
that quarter is also, not to be looked for.
Ihe dealings to-day were more than usual
OF late limited to professional operations,
and only in st. Paul, Louisville, Atchison
anu Cnlcago Gas was there the sl1ghtest IN
terest attached to them. Chicago Gas was
uepreSSeu Dy tne selling OF the CraulnS ele-
ment, accompanied by rumors and stories OF
opposition to the company to be started,and
Louisville was advanced by much the same
means. st. Paul showed a remarkable de-
crease in its activity, while its range for the
day was the smallest for weeks, and the
same may be said of Burlington and Atchi-
son.
A rather firm opening was followed by a
slight decline, following the lead of Chicago
Gas, but the tone soon changed for the better,
and West no material change was seen in
the general list. A decided upwar move
ment occurred in the leaders, among which
ST. Paul, Louifville and Chicago Gas were
most prominent. Stories of coming cash
dividend furnished the occasion for the rise
in Louisville, which amounted to per cent
from the lowest while the recovery in Chi
cago Gas was for like amount. The mar
ket finally closed extremely dull but firm,
generally at small fractional gains for the
day, the list showing no material change in
anything.
Railroad bonds felt the general stagnation
to the same degree, and while the amount of
business done reacted'to 663 900, the firmness
OF the market failed to make any movement
worthy of note in the list. The Oregon I'M
provement fves were most active, furnish
ing $96, 900 to the total, and scored larger
gain than any of the other prominent issues.
