Every silver lining has its DARK
cloud, says pessimist.
A woman may not swallow all the
compliments men hand her, but she
thinks there is merit in them just
the same.
It's the easiest thing in the world
for a pretty woman to manage q
man-if she isn't married to him.
When a man gets engaged to a
girl all the other fair maids of his
acquaintance begin to talk about his
poor taste.
A girl marries to gain liberty; a
man remains single to keep it.
A girl can never understand how
an innocent looking man knows so
much.
The girl who smarries a man be-
cause he is a good dancer is apt TO
regret it later.
The mere fact that a man doesn't
laugh at his own jokes is no indica-
ton that he doesn't think them
funny.

Why a Horse Rolls.

Horses are fond Of rolling on the
ground and no animal more thorough
ly shakes itself than they do. After
roll they give themselves a shake
or two ito remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is of much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end of
a journey an Arab horse rolls in the
sand, which acts as plotting paper,
absorbing exudations from the body.
A shake removes the sand, and the
coat soon dries. CaValrymen in hot
climates sometimes put sand on their
horses as the simplest and quickest
way to dry them.-Selborne Maya

FIRE INSPECTOR
ON HIS ROUNDS
Finds Several Places Where
Changes Should Be
Made.
SUGGESTIONS FOLLOW
Inspection Complies With
State Law and A b cts
Work of State Marshal.

Homer Jeffries, who was appointed
inspector of buildings for the fire de-
partment by w. J. Power, chief of the
local force, has been busy for several
days with the aim of detecting the
contributory causes of fire and dimin-
ishing same as much as possible. The
work of the local inspector is in ac-
cordance with the state law and calls
for quarterly visit to theatres.
churches, schools, stores and all pub
lie buildings.
During the last few days Mr.. JEFF
fries has found several places where
danger of fire was pointed out and
measures of safety suggested. Base
ments were found to be the worst
places for possible contiagrations to
s5art; here are often found waste paper,
excelsior, gasoline, gunpowder, dyna-
mite and oil soaked sawdust, all In
fiammable material and articles that
must be watched. Gas jets allowed to
burn too close to partitions or other
surfaces that might easily catch fire
are another source Of danger. The
work of the inspector also calls 70
recommendations where the exit from
public places does not seem to offer
safety in case of fire. Suggestions
along this line were also made by Mr.,
Jeffries.

Kidding Premises Of Flies.

The fly is nuisance beside being a
carrier Of infectious diseases and the
attempt to exterminate it needs no
justification. How one can make ones
home, town or city flyless is described
by G. r. Hodge, of Clark university,
Worcester, Mass. He says that the
American public spends $1O,0OO,O 900 a
year for window and door screens in a
futile attempt to exclude lively in
sect which insists on getting into the
house every time the doors are opened.
He believes also that the method of
sWatting the flies, using fly-paper or
indoor traps or poisons is ineffective,
but may help. His method is to make
use in various way Of the conical wire
mesh fly-trap, which Is familiar to al
most every one. in such way as to
turn the tables on the flies and put
them in Jail and let ourselves out" The
plan involves, Of course. the abolition
as far as possible of all breeding and
feeding places for flies and the APP
plication of the fly-trap mentioned
on windows, to the covers on manure
bins etc. all of which can be done by
a little mechanical ingenuity Garbage
cans are on the market which have a
cover larger than the can and not fit
ting down closely on it SO that the
flies gain access to the can under the
cover and end escape through a hole
in the cover over which is fixed a fly
trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge has
found that the essentials of a success
full campaign are to transfer the fight
against the fly from the house to out
doors. and then to exterminate it. An
other essential feature in town or city
is that households must cooperate.
One ignorant or careless home can
breed flies enough to. vitiate the best
endeavors of a whole town. Hodge has
succeeded in his neighborhood in prac-
tically eliminating flies; he uses no
screens in windows and doors, and can
sit outdoors or have windows or doors
open at any time without molestation.
AS flies begin to breed early in the
spring and as they breed with marvel
Gus rapidity, the time to arrange for a
fly campaign is in the winter.
