An Apt Answer-The dangers ass

An Apt Answer-The dangers asso-
ciated with the fishing industry on the
Newfoundland banks are many and
grave. Foremost among them Is that
the dories may be upset while fishing,
which involves almost inevitable less Of
their occupations. Callous captains, Sc
cure themselves from the necessity Of
going, frequently order their men out
when the weather does not warrant 1t,
and disastrous are the results. One Of
these brutal shippers was aptly an
swered once by a bank man Of whose
courage or capacity there was no ques-
tion.
"Out with you!" shouted the cap
tain. Hurry up there! It's a fishing
day!"
"Oh, no, skipper!" replied the dory
man. Its too stormy today for boat
to fish,"
Nonsense, mani" rejoined the skip
per. IF my old grandmother was here
today she'd get her dory out"
"Then, skipper" said the man, 'if
her grandson will come out with me
now I'll haul my trawl."
1t Is needless to say no dories were
launched from that schooner on that
date.-Philadelphia Ledger.

FIGHT THE FILTHY FLY.
A Poison That Is Not Dangerous to
Human Life.


To warn people of the dangers Of
flies, and to show them how to get rid
of the pests, the Chicago health depart
ment has issued a bulletin, in which
the pesky nuisances are called all sorts
of bad names. "Flies are the dirtiest
and filthiest of vermin," the bulletin
SAYS. "They are born in filth, live in
filth and carry filth around with them,
only to be scattered upon those whom
they touch. Now Is the time to build
your lines Of defence. Prepare to fight
them as you would wild beasts seeking
your life" ....
A good fly poison, not dangerous to
human life, the bulletin adds, is a solu-
ton of bichromate Of potash, one dram
dissolved in 2 ounces Of water and
sweetened with little sugar. Put some
in shallow dishes and place throughout
the house. Another Is cobalt chloride,
one dram dissolved in 8 ounces Of wa
ter, placed in shallow dishes as above.
To clean rooms in which there are
large numbers Of flies burn pyrethrum
powder or blow black flag into the air
of the room. These do not kill the flies;
they are merely stunned and fall to
the floor. They must then be gathered
up and destroyed.
Seven different varieties Of flies are
found in our houses, 9S per cent OF
which are represented by the common
house fly. Flies lay their eggs only In
fermenting or decaying substances-by
preference In horse manure. Hence,
says Harper's Weekly, every stable Is
a center of infection unless periodical
ly disinfected. The fly maggot Is also
Matched out in latrines and ash-pit re-
fuse, such as bedding, straw, rags, pa
per, scraps of meat, fruit, etc, on
which substances the larvae subsist az
ter they hatch. which occurs in about
twelve days after the egg has been laid.
It is estimated that single fly, laying
120 eggs at a time, will produce a pro-
geny amounting to sextillions by the
end Of the season.
The number of bacteria upon single
fly have been proved to range all the
way from $50 to 100000. The average
for Ala flies which were examined at
the agricultural experiment station at
Storrs, Conn. last year was 1,150.000
bacteria apiece. This represents about
the number of bacteria that enter the
human system when one swallows a
glass of liquid into which some fly has
perhaps fallen, to be removed by a slo-
venly waiter without the liquid being
thrown away.

ADVANTAGE OF EDUCATION.
ForcibIe Illustration From "Who Is
Who In America"


The second edition of who's Who
in America" (from the press Of A. N.
Marquis & Co., Chicago), contains l.
800 pages Of brief biographies, without
eulogy, criticism or comment, of such
persons now living in America as have
become noted as factors in the progress
and achievement of the age. "Endeav-
or has been made" say the editors, Ito
include all Americans of more than To-
cal note in all lines Of useful effort
No name Is inserted or omitted for fl
nancial consideration; the book Is sold
on it's merits.
With a view to determining what ef-
feet education of the various grades
has had on success in life, effort was
made to ascertain the school training
Of each of these men and women "of
more than local note," and 1852 on
their United States list were thus edu-
cationally classified.
According to the best estimate we can
make from the latest census returns,
there are in the United States 4O,7S2,-
0O7 persons over twenty-one years old.
These are divided educationally about
as follows:
Glass Without school train
ing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 4,6Sz,4Ss
Glass with only common
school training ........... 81, 2,S62,951
Glass 3-With common and
high school training ...... 2,165,357
Class with college or high
er education added ........ 1,071,2O1
Now the question is, how many of
the eight thousand distinguished citi-
zens of the United States on the Who's
Who list came from each Of these
classes?
The 4,6S2,49 of class 1 furnished. 81
The 32,S62,951 of class furnished. sos
The 2,165,357 of class 3 furnished. ,245
The 1,O71,2O1 of class 4 furnished. g. 76S
1t thus appears:
1st. That an uneducated child has
one chance in 10000 of attaining dis
tinction as a factor in the progress of
the age.
End. That a common school educa-
tion will increase his chances nearly
four times.
3rd. That high school training will
increase the chances of the common
school boy twenty-three times, giving
him eighty-seven times the chance of
the uneducated.
4th. That a college education in
creases the chance of the high school
boy nine times, giving him two hun
dred and nineteen times the chance of
the common school boy, and more than
500 times the chance of the unframed.
1t is a surprising fact that of 1852
"notables" thus gathered, 4,S10 proved
to be full graduates of colleges.
From the nature Of the case it can
not be claimed that these figures are
exact, but they are based upon the
most reliable government statistics and
the necessary estimates have been
made with care. 1t Is also doubtless
true that other circumstances contri-
buted to the success of these college
trained men, but after all reasonable
allowances are made the figures still
force the conclusion that the more
school training the child has, the great
er his chances Of distinction will be.
