Yet, strange to say, although there
were four persons in the house at the
time not one of the occupants suffered
any injury from the freakish bolt
other than the shocked surprise that
would be expected on such an exciting
occasion.
William II. Jacobs and his son
Charles H. Jacobs, of Aberdeen, Md

death during terrific thunderstorm
A bolt of lightning struck their barn
In which both were occupied at the

animal, killing 1t Immediately, but
both men were only momentarily
shocked. They recovered within q
minute or so and returned to the

ings than all the beasts of prey, and poisonous
serpents, for they spread disease which Stays
thousands.
AS soon as the fly comes out of his shell he
is full grown and starts out in the world to make
a living and If your home is not clean he knows
It, for the fly discern unclean odor for
miles.
AS much as they like odors of filth they dislike

the latter will repuse them. pleasant-smelling

Most of our diseases caused by invisible
germs that lodge and grow in cur bodies, destroy
ing our tissues poisoning with their
creta. These germs may be brought to from
some sick person by whatever is large enough to
carry them, and has the opportunity. Combine
this fact with what every one knows about flies,
and we see at once the tremendous Importance
of flies as carriers Of human disease germs.
Look closely at the picture of the fly resting
on the glass and viewed from below. Look at the
feet and observe that each of them Is equipped
with two claws and two lightcolored pads. The
fly clings to rough surfaces by means of the claws
and to smooth surfaces by combined action OF
the claws and pads The 6y's pads are covered
with thousands OF minute short hairs, sticky at
the end. There is no suction-merey adhesion
All his grown-up life the ny has to manage
with sticky feet. Imagine our plight II the soles
OF our feet were sticking plaster, perennially re-
newing its sickness!
To such Inconvenience the ny is constantly
subject, and 1t Is this that has bred into him tho
habit Of frequently preening himself. particularly
his feet. These are constantly becoming clogged
with adhering substances. and this contamination
the fly must assiduousy remove IL his feet are to
act properly In supporting him slippery places

Lightning has been known to play
queer freaks, but a streak of the Jer-
sey brand which struck the home of
John Alderman in Rochelle Park,
n. j., few days ago, seems to have
done more queer things in a moment
than had been done since Ajax defied
the fluid. From removing the four
castors of a table to shipping of the
steel stub of pen with which young
woman was writing in an adjoining
house, the zigzagging bolt managed to
disrupt or injure most everything in
It's path.
The bolt melted the telephone wire
and hurled the molten metal against a
window with such force as to make
mosaics of several panes, the spatter
ing hot metal so deeply ENGRAVING it,
self in the glass that there has been
no getting 1t out.
One side of the hall was ripped out
and from there the lightning flashed
into the parlor, where q broken lamp
and scattered and broken bric-a-brac
told of its passage through that apart
ment.
Then 1t journeyed to the dining
room, where Mr.. Alderman was sit
ting. The walls, blackened, scared
and bulged out on three sides, show
that the bolt struck the room in three
places, and Alderman is still mar
yelling how 1t was that the lightning
flashed all around without ever touch
ing him.
In the kitchen was an old-fashioned
clock, quite heavy and fully two feet
in height. The lightning removed this
from the kitchen and deposited the
wreck in the dining The west
side of the kitchen wall was blown
out. The kitchen floor was blown up

tered into bits and the range was shat

The house-iy at first is only a little
worm, wriggling his tiny grub-like form In
some incubating pile Of filth, usually the ma
nure pile, the clubhouse, or the mound of rub
bish, or garbage in the back yard. In this
condition he is easily killed, and it should be
the duty of every person to kill him now
The house-hy could not exist IL everything
were kept perfectly clean and sanitary. Ex-
terminate the fly-worms, do away with its
breeding places, and there will be no flies.
The common house-fy is coming to be
known as the typhoid fly" and when the
term becomes universal greater care will be
exercised In protecting the house from his
presence.
Flies swallow the germs Of typhoid in
countless millions while feeding on the ex-
creta Of typhoid patients. AS a result they
spread thousand times more typhoid germs
in their excreta than on their feet.
Flies kill greater number Of human be-

bors, he has just come from It, Watch him as
he stands on the sugar industriously wiping his
feet He is getting rid Of disease germs, rub
bling them on the sugar that you are going to
eat leaving the poison for you to swallow
This does more to spread typhoid fever and
cholera infantum and other intestinal diseases
than any other cause.
Disease attacks human beings only when
they brought in contact with it. For in
stance, you cannot get typhoid fever unless you
swallow the germs Of typhoid, and you do not
swallow these germs unless they get on the
food you eat or in the liquids you drink, or on
the glasses or cups from which you drink
Intestinal diseases are more frequent when
ever and wherever flies are most abundant, and
they and not the summer heat, are the active
agents of it's spread
There is special danger when flies drop into
such fluid as milk This forms an ideal cu
turo material for the bacillus. few germs
washed from the body of one fly may develop
into millions within few hours, and the per-
son who drinks such milk will receive large
doses of bacllli, which may later cause serious
sickness.
Here are some valuable fly "donts" for the
housewife:
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't allow your fruits and CONNECTIONS to be
exposed to the swarms of flies.

Strike at the root Of the evil. Dispose Of waste
materials in such a way that the house-fy cannot
propagate, for flies breed In horse manure, de-
caying vegetables dead animals, and all kinds OF
filth, look after the garbage cans, see that they
are cleaned, sprinkled with lime or kerosene oil,
and closely covered.
Screen all windows and doors and insist that
your grocer butcher baker and every one from
whom you buy foodstuffs does the same, and
member that a large percentage Of flies breed in
the stable.
There is more health in a wellscreened house
than in many doctors visit.
After you have cleaned up your own premises,
inspect the neighborhood for fybreedlng places.
Call the attention of the owner to them and II
he does not remove them, complain to the board
Of health.
Keep flies away from the kitchen. Keep nies
out of the dining room and away from the sick,
especially from those Ill with contagious dis
eases
To clear rooms Of nies, carboic acid may be
used as follows: Heat q shovel or any similar
article and drop thereon 20 drops 81 earbolie
acid. The vapor kills the hies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable ny poison, one
which Is not dangerous TO human life, Is bchro-

some OF this solution In shallow dishes and dis
tribute them about the house.
Sticky fly paper, traps and liquid poisons
among the things to in killing flies, but the
latest, cheapest, and best is solution of forma-
lin formadehyde In water. A spoonful Of this
liquid put into a quarter of pint of water and
exposed in the room will be enough to kill all
the flies.

Newcastle. Pa.-Rev. K. N. Merrill

might add that three of the above
enterprises were begun at the last
end of last year and completed this
year.
We also completed the church and
dedicated it at Taylor, and painted
and improved nearly every parsonage
and church on the district from $50
to 5000 worth, besides paying a lot
of old, troublesome debts.
We have also secured deeds for lots

In short, we have done the best we
could to cover a large and rapidly

very little money. Nearly every
preacher has done double duty, and
have gone to the limit of physical

important in their field and I do not
forget them in my zeal for home mis-
sions, but I realize that we will have
no means of doing these other things
unless we take the home field first.
l have every reason for believing
that all the other benevolences will
be met in full, and all interests taken
