While she, his love, caught not word,
But slept ON thro' it all.

THE FLY AND HIS WAYS.
Nature Has Provided Him With . Tongu
Similar tn a File.

Similar to a File.
In the first place the common fy-or
house fly-that gets into the milk and
butter and has to be kept from the
table by fans has wonderful machine
that is carried about to make life pos
sible. The mouth of the little black
scamp is curious continuance to get
food out of impossible places.
This mouth is really nothing more or
less than tongue, which runs in and
out of the head like the tongue of a
snake When the lowering insect sees
a good spot to light on, where there is
prospect of a meal, he settles down,
shakes leg or two and then runs his
mouth out ready for business
This piece of machinery seems to come
out of the head. and it will always look
that way if you don't take good peep
at the fly through a glass some day
when he is busy on lump of sugar.
Then you will see that the tiny black
thread lust unfolds from beneath the
head, where there is little socket pre-
pared for it.
When the tongue comes out it spreads
and the end divides into two broad,
fat leaves that are planted fiat down
on the food that is to be stolen This
is like nothing so much as pump with
q terribly strong draw" that sucks up
all the sweet strip there may be on the
lump of sugar.
But if the food should be hard and
the fly cannot get a good hold OF it he
touches little muscle spring and the
smooth surface of his tongue roughens
I'D like a file Back and forth these
edges work until the hard surface is
torn and scraped. and the particles that
the iy likes are sucked up into the
stomach.
Then the fy balances on four Of his
six legs and uses the front pair as a
napkin. wiping off his tongue He IS
neat little fellow and never takes q
mouthful without brushing his face

Don't be alarmed, though, for the

lied.
But we are far ahead of our story.
We have not seen yet how the flies are
born. 1t is during the hot days of Au-
gust and September that most of the
eggs are laid, and as they hatch out in
about two weeks-sometimcs in less
than that-the swarms of the insects
become very thick at that time. As
the cold weather comes the flies begin
to die off. Many of them. millions,
have died natural deaths before then
the average life of fly is about nine
days-and millions more have trod IN
wisely on sticky paper, and persisted
there in the gum
Other millions have taken greedy
sips from deadly sweets that have been
spread out on papers and in dishes to
slay them. and their dead bodies have
been swept away into the dust bin.
Still other millions have tumbled into
the milk and gone bravely into the
butter. while few thousand have been
crushed by quick hands or snapped by
rubber bands. Countless mum oers have
been eaten by the birds. and even Tab
By and Towser have snapped up few
hundreds.
So the great ~ family has persisted.
and when the first frosts come there
are only few old grandfathers and
grandmothers buzzing slowly around

have been laid carefully in the nooks
