FLOWERS in sIcKRooMs.
Never Send All White Flowers to an
Invalid.

Invalid.
In sending flowers to an Invalid
great discrimination must be practiccd
In the first place, be careful not to
cause any extra work TO the already
pverburdcned family.
For this reason growing plants aro
undesirable, and, besides. while the
old Idea that they harmed the sick
one by rcr ainng In the room over
night Is only superstition. II IL true
that the invalid may easily harm them,
especially If they nre much handled.
In the second place, do not send
bowers having very pronounced or
sickening odor. Iuberoses are thus
distinctly barred. as are other flowers
Of their clnss.
Thirdly, avoid violent color contrasts.
The nervous system is always slightly
deranged and the perceptions unduly
sharpened In n serious Illness, and tho
contrast of vivid reds and plnks and
yellows may be really harmful and
Will surely be dlsagrceable to the pm
tlcnt. Choose instead delicate pinks,
soft creams or light blues. On the
other hind, DO not. above all. send
white roses unaccompanlcd by any 9TH
sr flower nor an abundance of unre-
loved white flowers OF any kind. You
might just M we'll order n floral pill
low marked AT Rest" for the effect
II will have upon the recipient of your
mistaken kindness.
The sick are often inclined to DO
morbid, and nothing but cheerful sug-
gestions should be presented to their
maglnatlons. Finally, prefer the I'M
usual flowers. You may be pretty sure
that many besides yourself will send
roses and carnations and violcts. Tho
llttlo bunch OF ragged robins OF the
cluster of old fashioned pink peonies
will be thousand times moro appre-
cIated.
And best of MI will be the butter
cups or the homely black eyed Susans
which tell perhaps OF faroff happy

FLY ON THE CEILING.
Explanation of This Insects Ability to
Walk Uppide Down.

Walk Upside Down.
The ability of the fly to walk along
the ceiling or up and down pane of
glass is n matter that is constantly
puzzling boys and girls, and older
people. too. and simple explanation
OF 1t here might be of interest.
AZ Insignificant a creature IA the
fly Is, this power hns made 1t the sub.
ject of scientific. study for years. The
scientists ut FIRST thought Its feet were
furnished with suction pumps, SO to
speak, little valves that chung to the
ceiling on the same principle as that
OF the wet leather disk that boys lift
bricks with. When they found that
this was an error they thought that
the ily's feet We're supplied with n
kind Of sticky oil that enabled It to
hold on.
But careful experlmenter discover.
cd that while the feet exude n fluid It
Ii not sticky, and so that theory had
TO be given UP. Finnlly this same ex-
perimentcr hit on the truth. IIc found
that the feet of tho fly arc covered
with minute halrs-cach fly has about
1900 OF thcm-nnd that the fluid that
comes from them enables the fly to
walk. head down. ON even the smooth
est surface. by capillary attraction
that IL to say. the fluid on the fly's feet
forms n sort of connection between the
feet and the surface the 1y walks on,
and the attraction thereby established
is strong enough TO sustain several
times the weight of tho fly.
1t Is impossible for tho fly to get
along well unless tn feet arc perfectly
clean, and when you see 1t apparently
making It's toilet by rubbing Its feet
together and all over Its wings and
back 1t Is simply putting its feet In
order. ~. -,
