A characteristic anecdote of Lincoln
dates back to the time when there
we're so many fires at the national
capital that suspicion Of i~ncendiaries
was entertained, and various northern
cities began to offer the services of
special fire brigades. The authorities
Of Philadelphia in particular were most
urgent and sent a special committee
to wait on the President and urge him
to accept the services OF such a brigade.
The committee was tedious and long
winded, and the President was anxious
to get back to the public business
which demanded his attention. Fin
ally, seeing no prospect of a termina-
ton Of the interview in the usual way.
he interrupted one Of the orators in
the midst of a grandiloquent fight by
saying:
"Ah, yes, gentlemen, but it is a mis-
take to suppose that / am the head Of
the FIRE department in Washington.
am merely the President of the United
States"

the great gain of ~undertakers and to
the deprivation of many families of
even the necessities Of life for a long
time thereafter, l hereby direct that l

even with a ny. Tiny parasites de-
stroy many OF the larvae before they
have half a chance to develop. In the
autumn you will hnd a fungous growth
choking the life out OF the flies that &c
infests. Have you never found dead
flies on the window pane, their bod
les wrapped ia an odd sort Of winding
sheet made Of very fine white threads
sticking out in every direction7 II
you haven't you may look for them
this autumn. and feel that you have
learned something OF the tragedy
which came into the life Of a fly.
The Horseay.
The common stable fly, or horsefy.
is OF three kinds. Tho large mourning
horsehy Is Of a uniform black; the
white lined fly differs only in dress,
being of the anne annoying species;
the smaller golden headed horse and
OK flies have banded wings. The fe-
male alone sucks blood. while the male
feeds daintily upon flowers. The lar
vac, however, are carnivorous.
The mosquito and the black fly we
speak of together because Of the
equally painful discomfort Of their
bites; but zoologically they differ a lit
tie. The mosquitoes are culicidae, Gu
lex being Pliny's name for the ny.
They have feathery -antennae and a
fringe Of hairs on the hind margin
Of the wing. The larvae develop in
the surface Of stagEant pools. AS the
larvae have a respiratory tube open
at the tail end, they rest vertically
near the surface of the water, head
down and the tail at the surface, in
order to breathe through that end.
The reason they are killed by pouring
kerosene oil over the water is that
the oil makes a film through which
they cannot breathe, which literally
smothers them to death. The black
flies, on the other hand, are long
horned flies, the nematocera. What
boy in the Adirondack woods this
summer, or in past summers, has not
seen and felt them? The females
alone. like the female mosquitoes, are
the blood suckers. The larvae also
live and develop on the surface Of the
water.
