Catching Flies Pays Well.

Catching flies is aifording~as shreve-
port Ua.) man profitable and indie
pendent living. He sells them to the
city board of health. His name is
Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days of a
recent week was $24.20. When the
health board began offering premiums
for the flies, dead or alive, Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in fly-ridden sections of the city.
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards exchequer, and so well
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from SO cents to 20 cents a
quart, for it is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fly
catching pays.

EneIand's Oldest Bowling Green.

Which is our Oldest recreation?
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However.
when it comes to actual records, the
fine old English game Of bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton, Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
greens was in existence in 1899.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer fire jack"
competition is held, and an order OF
knighthood is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels in the center of the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with a sword and dubs him Sir

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners ls SHOWN In
Their Various Methods on
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes. then he places 1t in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg At it, taps the top of the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten
spoonful at time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman, likes his eggs of three min
utes. exactly. He then "peels" them.
places them in a glass, stirs and
mixes well together with salt. pepper
and butter. He makes a practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture. and
eating it along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think Of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and let's the con-
tents run into a glass. and consumes
it as if he were drinking glass OF
wine.
An egg is only fit in an Italians
estimation when it has been placed
IN cold water, and removed just as
the water begins to boil. He then
breaks it. pours it on a plate, anH
proceeds to sop it with bread. Y
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as if it were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half, removes the con-
tents into glass, after which he
adds plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with the
spices, and eats them with his toast.

Nearly everybody is obliged more or

course a few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a

that do not make use Of tonics and

The remedy Peruna is a laxative

laxative, but also as a tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention Of disease than in the cure.
After a person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all

physician, or some one who can give

|CHILD'S new MOUTH
| SURGICAL TRIUMPH
Flesh Grated From Abdomen
Forms Lips and Chin.

Baltimore. After many weeks Of
treatment the rebuilding Of a little
girls chin and the restoration Of her
mouth to normal proportions after they
had been terribly distorted by burns
have been completed at the Johns Hop
kins hospital here.
The child's clothing had taken fire
while she was playing about a gas
stove, and the flesh on her face was
scared to such an extent that when the
wound healed only q small hole was
left where the mouth had been. SO
small was the opening that the little
finger could be inserted with difficulty.
Nothing was left Of the chin but the
bone and a covering Of SCARED flesh.
The child's mother offered all the
skin necessary for grating, but the
surgeon decided ON another plan.
A large flap of flesh was cut from the
child's abdomen, one side being left at
tached to the body. Then a slit was
made In the arm of the patient sufi-
ciently large to allow the insertion of
the raised end of the flesh Of the abdo-
men. This was done to establish circu-
lation In the abdominal flesh.
After weeks that part OF the flesh
attached to the abdomen was cut and
the child's arm with the flap Of flesh
growing to 1t was raised and the part
that formerly had been Joined to the
abdomen was Joined to the lips ana
chin from which the scared flesh had
been cut. For weeks blood flowed
from the child's arm into the bridge Of
flesh from the abdomen and then into
the chin and lips.
When circulation had been establish
ed the child's arm was cut from her
chin and allowed to return to it's nor
nal place.
The new flesh was then attached 10
the chin. A small hole had been cut in
1t TO allow the child to be fed. Later
a mouth was cut in the mass of flesh
and then the chin was rounded out.
When the child was discharged from
the hospital she could eat, talk and
move her jaws as well as any Of her
companions. 1t is only upon close ex-
animation that the new chin can be
discovered.
