THE WAY no LIS HEART.

Although one rather effectual way is

ways just as effectual, the most i'm

these influences lack potency to soothe

The reason why some really plain
girls attract where beauties do not is
because of their possession of this
open sesame, this key to the masculine
heart-sympathy. A man wants it,
needs it and demands it at all times
whether in gay or depressed moods or
in success or failure; and he seldom
ffils to show his appreciation of it.

CONCERNING FLIES.

The common house fly is, above all
things else, a scavanger No doubt
the flies were intended to serve a good
purpose by destroying filth and waste.
but in their work they are liable to
do serious harm, to say nothing Of the
constant annoyance which they cause.
1t is believed that flies are effective
disseminators of disease germs. Com
ing, we will suppose, from heap of
offal which contains the germs Of ty-
phOid fever. they enter the dwelling
house and light upon some article Of
food. Is it not reasonable to suppose
that they may bring with them some
of the minute organisms which de-
velOp this destructive disease? If the
fly could be confined to his proper
place, which, as l said in the begin
ming, is that of a scavenger, he would
serve a valuable purpose; but, like
some human beings, he may cause
much trouble when he goes outside
his appointed sphere. The flies should
be kept outside of the house as com
pletely as possible by closely screen
ing doors and windows. For destrov-
ing flies after they once enter tSl
house l recommend the common wire
"spatter," which may be bought for
a nickel, as safer than placing poison
or even fly paper in the rOom.-Phil-
adelphia Record.
