The Danger From Flies.

Notwithstanding all that has been
said and written. many yeople con-
tinue to ignore the constant danger
from flies as carriers OF infection. Ev-
erywhere food is exposed to the visits
of these distributors of disease. Sc
ries of reports on this subject has re-
Gently been published In England. in
which it IL shown that infections may
remain active upon dies which have
been exposed to them-and their hab-
its thus expose them continually-for
from four to ten days. An idea OF the
distance to which infection may be dis
persed by flies is given by recent IN
vestigations at Postwick. near Nor
witch, where 1t was found that marked
flies travelled nearly a mile from the
notorious refuse heap that served as
their breeding ground.

Knows that sunshine and rain
Cannot always remain,
And they both help the growth it
Is striving to gain
It's a well managed world, after all.

A ConseryntiYe Mnn Mnnted

"Ex-President Roosevelt may head the republican ticket this year, and if he is nominated at Chicago he may be elected, but I doubt it." said William J. Hamner of Philadelphia.
 T am democratic voter, and think the democrats have good chance of win ming in November. Many people have been speaking of Roosevelt as an im- possibility. They think because of his radicalism and cratic ways that the peo- pie are sure to rise up and defeat him should he be the nominee. But there are thousands and thousands of men-some of them in the democratic party-who would be only too glad to see Roosevelt President once more.
 Congressman Underwood, conceded by people generally to be well equipped man for the presidency should be nom mated at Baltimore There are other able statesmen in the democratic party. but Underwood has demonstrated his tran scendent fitness for the high office. If the tariff issue should be paramount in the coming campaign, Underwood is the only man that should be considered in the democratic party"

From the Argonaut.
 A recently published work on the social conditions of the last century reminds us that trousers were invented by the Duke of Wellington, who was called upon to pay a heavy price for his temerity. Men, we are told, dashed themselves into fury at a garment that reduced all legs to a common level. The graduates of the universities were refused admission to dining hall and chapel with the detested trousers, while the Iron Duke himself was excluded from Almacks when ne presented himself wear ing his pet abomnations. But the con aueror of Napoleon was not to be resisted in his far greater task of conquering pub lie opinion. There was sombething about the pantaloons that commended them to the so-called mind of the masses, and we have been wearing them ever since except when we go to bed And even there we wear pajamas some of us.
 But there is much to be said for the trousers. If we mad legs that were fit to show in stockings 1t would be another matter, but we have not Without trous- CTS most of us would have to pad our calves ana Nndl d uuisdItS liidt NOuiu be- Male vanity, be it noted, usually takes the form of an imitation of natural per- feetions. Female vanity often seeks their suppression. The woman who tries to squeeze her hips out of sight is com parable with the man who cultivates spin de legs, wholly untninkable being.
 Talking of the Duke of Wellington, we are reminded that Jane London once write | to him asking permission to sketch the famous Waterloo Beeches at Strathfield- save. She signed her letter "J. London, which is also the official signature of the Bishop of London, although why English bishops do not sign their letters so that other Christians may know who they are it is hard 10 say. The duke at that time was an old man and his sight was none of the best, so that tine lady was somewhat surprised by the receipt of the following letter: IF NJ. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to the Bishop of london. The bishop is quite at liberty to sketch the breeches which the duke wore at Waterloo if they can be found. But the duke is not aware that they diff fered in any way from the brooches which he 1renarallv wears. ,"

Birmingham's Building Code

A pretty clear idea of the magni- tude of this city's codes and laws is had when it is known that the city's building code alone makes a book of 162 pages. Building Inspector Mat hews drew up many of these statutes, and they were passed by the city com mission, and now they have ben put in neat volume. MT. Mathews at tended to the printing of this book as compiler and editor.
 No one need go uninformed as to the city's building laws, for the new vol tune contains all of them. When one possesses the little volume he has all the laws that the city has perfected in relation to buildings. The code as it stands is fully abreast of the laws of other progressive cities. Mir. Mathews has brought these laws up to modern standards.

New Wilson Movement in Georgia

The Wilson supporters in Georgia arc assailing the Bristow amendment. They did not say a word against it, says the Savannah News, until their attention was called to the fact that MT. Underwood had voted for it. The News goes on to show that the Bris- tow amendment is really folderol- that it does not change the constitu- tion a particle.
 "There does not seem,' adds the News, ito be any particular reason for danger from the Bristow amendment in this state. The negro vote is linn tied by the state laws, and the amend ment to the constitution providing for the election of senators by the people doesn't change them. After the rati- fication of that amendment the federal constitution will contain, as it does now, the following: The electors in eacf state sndu nave lie sSiS qudi.- fieations requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature.
 The Wilson papers in Georgia may endeavor to make some capital out of the Bristow amendment, but it will bs very empty performance on their part. It will be hidden attack on Mr. Underwood, and the News assails it from that viewpoint. MT. Underwood sees no danger in provision that has stood 125 years. He voted his con victions," says the News, 'and at the same time obeyed the instructions of his state-his state being strongly in
