When Luck Fails.

Unhoused and often unsheltered, wild
animals suffer more than is generally un-
derstood. No one can estimate the deaths
of year from severe colds, heavy storms,
high winds and tides. In "The Lay Of
the Land" Mr.. Dallas Lore Sharp tells Of
whole colonies of gulls and terms swept
away by great storm, and describes
some OF the fatalities Of the little people Of
wood.
We have all held Our breath at the ha-
zardous travelling of the squirrels in the
treetops. What other animals take such
risks, leaping at dizzy heights from bend
ing limbs to catch the tips OF limbs still
smaller, saving themselves again and
again by the merest chance?
But luck sometimes fails. My brother,
careful watcher in the woods, was hunt
ing on one occasion, when he saw a gray
squirrel miss its footing in tree, fall, and
break its neck upon log beneath.
have frequently known them to fall
short distances, and once | saw red
squirrel come to grief like the gray squir-
rel mentioned above. He was scurrying
through the tops of some lofty philippines,
little hurried and clustered at the sight OF
me, and nearing the end of high branch
was in the act OF springing, when the dead
tip cracked under him and he came tum-
bling headlong.
The height must have been forty feet,
so that before he reached the ground he
had righted himself, his tail out and legs
spread but the fall was too great, He
hit the earth heavily, and before could
reach him lay dead upon the pine-need-
les.
Hasty, careless, miscalculated move
ments are not as frequent among the care
full wild flock as among human beings,
perhaps but there is abundant evidence
of their occasional occurrence and OF their
sometimes fatal results.

The House-Hy.

The common house fly, which makes
its appearance about this time of the year
and remains as guest until the return OF
cold weather, is generally regarded as
little more than nuisance. Heinsists on
coming where he is not considered by
most people menace to health.
Recent work by experts, however, has
shown that the house fly is one of the
most dangerous agents in spreading dis
ease. This is due to the fact that the fly
never "wipes his feet" and is not at all
choice in the selection of lodging place.
The whole life-history of the fly con-
tributes to make himfilthy and obnoxious.
The eggs are deposited in filth and ma
nure, and remain for about ten days before
they hatch out When first Matched, the
fly has the form of small worm, and as
such, crawls into the most obnoxious
places. He loves the bodies of dead an
imals, the manure in the barnyard, the
excrement in the privy, and feeds on
these things.
When the fly reaches maturity, he has
a peculiar rowing nature.
/. He does not always care to remain in
the barnyard or in the priyy, but likes to
leave these places and fly into the dining
room, where he lights on the vegetables,
the dessert or the butter. AS the fly's
feet may gather germs wherever he goes,
he naturally leaves some on everything
he touches, whether it is the baby's bot
tie, the milk, or the fruit These germs
are often taken into the system, multiply,
develop and cause disease. Typhoid
fever, which causes so much sickness in
the community every year, is spread by
the fly as well as by bad water and bad
milk.
The only good fly is dead fly. There
is practically no way to kill off all the flies,
but by screening the windows and doors,
and by covering the dishes containingthe
food and drink, the number OF flies can be
much reduced. AT the very least, the fly
can be kept out of the sick room. if the
manure is removed frequently, and is
sprinkled often with lime, ii will not be so
attractive breeding place for the flies.
If the closet is screened, and the flies
kept from the excrement, the danger to
the household is considerably reduced.

RULE OF THE SEA.
Old Whaling Law Applied to Twice
Caught Cod.

Old Whaling Law Applied to Twice
Caught Cod.
That etiquette Is observed among
the fishermen that journey to the fish
ing banks was discovered by an anna
teur angler on his first trip.
The amateur hooked Goldfish, but
his line parted just as the ash was
above the water. Back fell the cod
fish. carrying with him two sinkers
and the hook.
Twenty minutes later another angler
cried out that he had captured a cod
with two sinkers and hook. The
amateur went up to the angler. who
appeared to be an old salt, and asked
for his hook and sinkers, which had
his name stamped on them. He was
surprised when the old salt told him
to take the fish also.
According to the rules generally fol-
lowed on the fishing boats, the second
angler was entitled to the fish, but the
hooks and sinkers should be returned
to their owner. The old angler ex-
planned why he wanted to give up the
fish.
1t seems that he had followed the
sea great part of his life. When a
young man he was a whaler, and, &C
cording to whaling law, dead whale
belongs to the ship whose name ap-
pears on the harpoon that killed 1t.
Therefore the old salt figured that the
amateur owned the Goldfish he had
taken.-New York Sun.

Eul.r,. Wonderful Memory.

Leonhard Euler, who was born In
1907 and died In 1888 at St Peters
burg, where he spent his life as a
teacher of great power and as a pro-
life writer, was an instance Of the
genuine mathematician endowed with
almost superhuman powers. He left
more than 200 manuscript treatises on
his favorite subject, and the bulk of
the works published by his academy
between 1927 and 1888 were from his
pen. In his old age he was totally
blind. Then he carried In his memory
table Of the first six powers OF the
"series Of natural numbers up to 100"
1t is related that on one occasion
two of Euler's students attempted to
calculate converging series. AS they
advanced they found they disagreed
in the result by a unit in the fifteenth
figure. The question was referred to
Euler, who decided to make the calcu-
lation. He did this mentally, and his
result was found to be correct.-New
York Tribune.

a street in the village when he fell into a
deep hole. There was no ladder by
which he could make his escape, and he
began TO shout for help. A1aborer pass

asked who he was. The minister told
him, whereupon the laborer remarked.

Heart
Troubles

The heart may be weak
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
It often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some of the nerves
of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be
strengthened with a tonic,
and for this nothing equals

Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulf1ls almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect Of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
