CURIOSITIES OF A FLY.

Do you know that a common house
fly is one of the most wonderful Great
ures in the world? If he were only
big enough for you to see the strange
manner in which his feet alone are
made you would think him far more
wonderful than even the elephant,
with his long trunk. His feet are pad
ded and have queer hooks and thous-
ands of tiny hairs. From the roots
of the hair comes a fluid that keeps
the pads moist so that he can hold on
we'll when climbing on the glass of the
window or on the ceiling. There are
two of the hooks on each foot. and
these are sharp and curved. You have
often felt a singing pain when a fly lit
upon your hand and another when he
let go and flew away. That fly did
not sting or bite you. He only jabbed
those sharp hooks into your flesh so he
could hold on tightly. And it hurts
you even worse for him to tear those
hooks out than to jab them ink

HoLsINGER FIGHTING FIRE.

\. J. Holsinger left this morning with
crew of twelve mensto put out the
fire which has been raging for the past
week on the crest of Mt. Lemon.
Mr.. Holsinger is the special agent
of the interior department The de-
struction of pine timber has been
greater during this fire than any pre-
vious one, and an appeal was made
to the government authorities TO take
some action to stop its spread Al
ready frontage of six miles has
burned. clearing the mountain of pine
and other timber which holds tho
snow until late in the season and
lengthens the life of the water flow in
the canyons.
The party went by wagon to the
Santiago ranch and from that place
will pack provisions to the scene of
the fire.-Tucson Citizen.

THE WORLDS PROGRESS.

The pessimest is always looking back
ward to the dead and despotic past for
rules of action. for criterions to follow.
for authority for usage and custom.
He has no ambition to improve meth
DDS and customs. He is conservative
and proud of it. If slavery exists in
any form, if tyranny Expresses, if kings
rule, property crushed. it IS something
ordained of God and must not be ques-
toned He lives in the present govern
ed by the rulers of the past The OPP
timist is looking forward. he longs for
something better in every department
of life: he is not satisfied with the ma
chine he works with. but thinks out
something better: he is not pleased
with the injustice and would abolish
he condemns crude and foolish social
relations and teaches higher ideals; he
is crucified on the cross pessimists pre-
pared for him. and is later deified by
the conservative class of later genera
lions who have advanced a peg. And
this is repeated from generation to
generation The dominant parties,
classes, creeds and customs always
hang like a mill stone around the neck
of progress. Hence it is that the world
progresses so slowly toward the millen-
inm.-EX

State Legislation on the Question.

State Legislation on the Question.
The Industrial commission in its re-
port to congress on labor legislation.
ecommends improved legislation to the
state legislatures. rather than to con-
gress directly.
The subject of greatest public in
terest today" said the report, lis per-
haps that of the regulation of the hours
of labor permitted in industrial oc-
cupants. and especially in factories
As congress has not power to legis-
late directly in this matter. the COM
mittee recommends that simple
statute be enacted by states regulating
the length of the working day for all
persons between the ages of IA and p
who work in factories. The report. in
brief. says:
THE employment of children below
the age of IA should be prohibited in
factories. The length of the working
day in all public employment should
be fixed at eight hours. The same time
should be fixed for workmen in under
ground mines. except in cases of emer-
gency. Employment in mines of chill
dren less than II years old. and all
women and girls should be forbidden.
Congress might well enact that no
person under IS should be employed as
telegraph operator upon railroads
and that all engineers and switchmen
should submit to an examination for
color blindness: also that it be made
misdemeanOr for an engineer or
switchman TO be intoxicated while on
duty.
~ simple and liberal law regulating
the payment of labor should be adopt
ed by all the states. providing that all
IabOrers shall be paid in cash orders
without discount. not in goods or due
bills. and that no compulsion direct
or indirect. should be used TO make
them purchase goods at any particu-
lar store"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
