The humorous side of tho chimney
sweeps work is the smallest considera-
ton. His life Is in peril score Of
times each busy day. He is compelled
to scale slate roofs without assistance,
sfor to use prongs would destroy the
shingles. He mounts high, sloping
roofs and works, standing on space
hardly big enough for his two feet, let
alone room for purchase when he moves
around, without regard Of his safety.
Frequently when working "from be-
low'' he is the recipient Of hard blows
on the head by bricks that fall down
the shaft.
His work is not confined to chimney
sweeping. He will climb any fagpole in
the city and modestly declares that he
feels safer on high roof or pole than on
the street, until the airship comes into
general use, because there is nothing
up there to run him down and nothing
above to fall on him.

pleasure knows itself shallow. The
quietest place knows itself deliberate

And here art steps in, not to the few
sufficiently healthy and ineffective to
take tho worst without bothering, but
to tho majority, who, having loved their
youth, weaken at the thought Of lay
ing aside all that it signifed. The art
of growing old is not an easy one. For,
first of all, old age is the supreme be-
trayer. Most faces can keep secrets
in youth-the greatest liar is capable
Of looking bland and simple under 40.
But old age throws aside deceit. The
liar becomes at last obviously a liar,
the voluptuary voluptuary. The faces
of old workers are the finest.
The art Of growing old, indeed, con-
sists principally in the remembrance
that every action Of existence will in
the end bear witness for or against us.
No man or woman can make their OWL
beauty or ugliness in youth. But old
age is in everybody's hands. To be at
tractive at 60 is the workmanship OF
the person who achieves it. In truth
a beautiful or distinguished person al
that period is something that reache,
a deeper appreciation than even the
beauty Of childhood. .-.+

by flies, which, swarming over the In
fected filth that accumulates around a
camp, few thence directly to the mess
tents, alighting upon the food prepared
for the soldiers. @
The readiness with which flies may
carry microbes on their feet has been
proved by allowing them to walk over
cultures" Of typhoid germs, and then
to come into contact with sterilized
gelatine. In such experiments they
have invariably transferred some Of the
germs to the gelatine. The house fly
has no mouth parts for biting, and only
in this accidental way does it carry
microbes. But DR.. L. o. Howard, ento-
mologist-in- chief Of the goveruments
says that no fewer than seventy-six other
species Of flies are more or less danger
GUS for the same reason, and six Of
these species he found represented
among twenty-three hundred flies
caught at random in kitchens and din
ing rooms In various parts Of the United
States from Massachusetts, to California
and from New York to Louisiana. Even
the tiny fruit flies, often seen in
houses in autumn, attracted by over
ripe or decaying fruit, are to be re-
garded with serious suspicion, inasmuch
as they breed In filth. ~.
Mans most intimate companion
among insects, the house fly, is one of
his worst enemies. 1t is probably a
carrier Of the contagion Of scarlet fever,
and perhaps Of smallpox also-a theory
which, if accepted, will account for the
rapidity Of tho spread Of those disease,
when once they have got a start. I'm
questionably it conveys infection from
sores. The puzzle is, indeed, to imagine
why, in this epoch Of enlightment, the
propagation Of this dangerous pest
should be permitted and even encour'
aged, when it might be practically ex
terminated and done away with by max
ing compulsory the sprinkling Of al
stable waste with kerosene from wa
tering pot once or twice week. Stables
produce almost the entire crop Of house
flies.

tho worst Of 1t is that the creature
feeds commonly on decaying animal
matter, and infectious. PARTICLES thence
conveyed on the beak of the insect to
the person whom it attacks are supposed
to be accountable for the extensive and
painful swellings which follow its bites.
Under ordinary circumstances it lives
in crevices in the bark Of trees, but at
night, attracted by lights, it enters the

The conviction of O. certain species Of
mosquito, called stegomyia, as the re-
sponsible agent in the case Of yellow
fever was accomplished py DR.. Walter
Reed, surgeon in the United States
army, who, soon after the close Of the
war with Spain, conducted in Cuba a
series of remarkable experiments. He
built, near the village Of Quemado, a
small frame house, in which for sew
eral weeks seven men Of the hospital
corps dwelt. The building was pur-
posely ill-ventilated, lack Of plenty Of
fresh air having been regarded by many
authorities o. conducive to infection

Havana soiled and in every way I'M
clean, just as they came from the beds
Of sufferers from the disease.
In short, everything imaginable was
done to create conditions favorable to
infection, barring only one point-the
windows Of the house were securely
screened against mosquitoes. Neverthe
less, not one Of the seven men-al OF
whom, by tho way, actually wore night
shirts, unwashed, that had been take1
from yellow-fever patients-was at
tackled by tho malady. It was pretty

theory that mosquitoes alone were &C
countable for the distribution Of thu
dreaded "yellow jack.''

they must be considered secret, and
only reach the party for whom they

sponsible for this. There are also social
and family secrets which telegraphers
hold that would make great stir
if others should know. One message
tells Of the separation Of man and wife,
another Of happy reunion, this one
tells of the capture of a desperate
criminal, another Of the death Of q
relative or dear friend, and SO on and
on and on.

malady, leprosy, according to this the
DRY, becomes epidemic. -
DR.. Ashmead is now working on the
problem with DR.. Morgan Of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, and DR.. Dupree
Of the University Of Louisiana. Fleas
trapped in leper asylums, and therefore
supposed to be infected, are being sent
from Louisiana, Venezuela, Colombia,
Hawaii and Japan to DR.. Ashmead,
some Of them in bottles Of alcohol and
others alive, the idea in view being not
only to examine them for bacilli, but
also to breed them. It Is desired to as
certain by the latter process whether
the disease microbes are transmitted by
the heas to their offspring
DR.. Ashmead also hopes to obtain
"cultures" of the bacilli, and to secure
eventually an antitoxin which may
serve as cure for leprosy. The dis
ease, which lie believes to be difficult
Of cure mainly because Of constant rein
lection by fea-bites, is becoming a Sc.
rious problem in the southern states, and
especiallyin Louisiana. Proved to be con-
tagious, it spreads wherever the suffer
ers are not isolated, and tho penalty of
neglecting it is sufficiently illustrated
not far away, In the United States Of
Colombia, where, in the provinces Of
santander and Boyaca, one person In
every thirty is a leper. And yet the
malady was unknown In that country
up to 1e46. If the flea be really guilty
in the premises, the practice Of estab
fishing leprosy hospitals in tho middle
Of populous cities Is certainly danger
Gus mistake, inasmuch as infected in
sects might easily escape from the
buildings and scatter the complaint.

forties. Afterward they are terms Of
happiness. To lose one. is to have part
of the essential fabric Of existence torn
away. Till the coming Of conscious age
nothing was irretrievable. Now the
smallest friendship with the roots far
back is vital. It's loss is like SO much
bodily warmth gone out of the system.
And the time of fear has risen.
Still, it Is possible to train atten-
ton chiefly to short distances. This,
for the most part unconsciously, Is a
trick that comes when the first revolt
is over. One enjoys life again, only
between his sentence and It's fulflment.
The knowledge Of the painful brevity
in between is always barking at inn
agination. Real pleasure belongs to
youth, when for all the sense Of lnse-
curity it conveyed life might have been
eternal. For that matter, to exist for
the ordinary term Of mans life
seemed literally an eternity, SO many
were the years ahead.
