Seven Varieties Of Flies.

Seven different varieties Of flies
are found in our houses, SO per cent
of which are represented by the com.
mon housefy. Flies lay their eggs
only in fermenting or decaying sub
st3nces-by preference in manure
Hence every stable is a center of in,
lection unless periodically disinfected
The fly maggot is also Matched out in
iatrines and ashpit refuse, such as
bedding, straw, rags, paper, scraps of
meat, fruit, etc, on which substances
the larvae subsist after they hatch,
which occurs in about twelve days
after the egg has been laid 1t is
estimated that single fly, laying 120
eggs at time, will produce progeny
amounting to sextillions by the end
Of the season.
The numbers of bacteria upon a
single fly have been proved to range
all the way from $50 to 100000. The
average for Ala flies which were ex.
amined at the agricultural experiment
station at Storrs, Conn, was 1850 900
bacteria apiece. This represents about
the number of bacteria that enter the
human system when someone swal.

BIRDS vary LIKE HUMANS
Things enc May See by Carefully
Watching the Robins for
a While.

Burlington, Kan.-Of all birds. the
robin youngsters are the most deter
mined to stay at home and camp on
pa and ma 1t would not be surpris-
ing to find a young robin, who was
laid in March and Matched in May,
coming home in August with his bride
and asking pa and ma to get of the
eggs In which were her fond hopes for
third family and hustle up meal
for her eldest son and his wife.
A slim, sprightly father robin was
prancing on the Baker lawn. He
was fianked on either side by offspring
as big as he was, one crying loudly
for a fishworm the other for fat
grub. Pa would skip along few feet
cock his head, listen intently, dip his
beak down into the ground and pull
forth luscious titbit. Both children
would squawk for it. Down into the
gaping mouths of the birdlings as long
az he and much fatter would father
thrust the bite. Then. second son,
screaming, he would go after more
worms
He kept up this stuf1ing process for
over an hour

TWIN GIRLS BATTLE DOCTORS
Sisters, Injured In Runaway, Cause
Turmoil in Hospital Over
Identity.

New Brunswick, n. J.-Helen and
Margaret Brady, twins and eighteen
years old, had nurses and physicians
in ST. Mary's hospital baffied. The
girls were injured in runaway acct
dent, one Of them getting two broken
ribs and the other a broken leg
They look exactly alike, and insist
upon occupying cots placed side by
side In sthe hospital. Nurses and sur
geons working over them kept mistak-
ing one for the other, until, in des-
peration, one Of the surgeons pulled
Helens bed out of alignment with the
others in the ward. Then he forgot
whether it was Margaret's or Helen's
bed he had moved
Several times nurses found them
selves ministering to the one with the
broken leg when it should have been
the one with the injured ribs. The
nurses solved the problem by placing
placards on the beds, one bearing the
word leg" and the other rib"

HAVE NOT SAME VIEWPOINT
Logic and Argument Mean One Thing
to Man and Another to
Woman.

Logic" is the rock on which the
views Of man and woman split He
knows" that she is inconsistent, she
that he argues only for the joy Of hear
ing his own wisdom. Each knows
that convincing the other is a gift
not granted by the high gods unto
mortals. But the knowing fails to
keep them from debating until debate
threatens to degenerate into wrangling
and feminine tears and masculine
vehemence of expression bid them
cease.
Each is right and both are wrong.
Man refuses to be convinced, woman
is incapable of being convinced. The
source of the difficulty lies in the fact
that logic and argument, like truth,
mean one thing to him and another to
her. Man enjoys argument, the pit.

To man argument is a good deal OF

Is an earnest clash of two personali-
ties.
Man will wage wordy warfare with
man over the merits of a point of
honor or those of security, and put
the best of him into the intellectual
and verbal duel, and not seldom lose
his temper for the moment or the
hour; but when the war of words is
over he TRUSTS the affair behind him,
has no personal feeling as regards his
opponent and many even acknowledge
that there was foundation for opinions
he withstood. But woman argues
about the deeper feelings or thought
in regard to such problems as poll
tics, religion or virtue and takes the
matter with terrible seriousness as
an affair of life and death Her re-
gard for sincerity and truth, as she
understands these qualities, makes the
debate one to be expressed in terms
of personality.

RISK LIVES FOR FOSSILS
Wisconsin Scientists Collect Rare
Specimens in Desert of the
Far West

Madison, Wis.-After months of
hardship and danger in the desert, DR..
M. G. Mehl and assistant, G. M
Schwartz, have brought to the biologi.
cal museum of the University of Wis.
consin a wonderful collection of pre-
historic fossils gathered In New Mexi-
co and Arizona.
More than a ton of the specimens
brought in by the party are entirly
new to science, and some tell the story
OF life and the world of over three mil.
lion years ago.
Doctor Mehl and Mr.. Schwartz went
to Flagstaff, AriZ., where they secured
wagon outfit and Mexican guide
Then they made 65-mile drive across
the desert, with no water except what
they carried with them. They camped
on the Little Colorado river and SUI
fered much from sandstorms At
times water was very scarce and their
lives were in danger. They were also
threatened by Indians.

GIRL WHO BITES HER NAILS.

Her eyes are of purple hue;
Her nose is tilted saucily;
think she beads her lashes, too;
Her hair is fixed SO flossily.
Her charm in only one thing fails
The little girl who bites her nails.
Tbs but the flaw that goes to make
Her beauty the more ravishing.
Lest all the charms by some mistake
The gods on her were lavishing,
Who in her fairness Venus pales-
The, little girl who bites her nails.
For, were perfection there displayed,
Shed be too fair to look upon
A goddess not for mems eyes made
For bards to write book upon;
The human touch ones heart assails
The little girl who bites her nails.

GOOD INDIAN SNAKE REMEDY.

| am a full-blooded Creek Indian
and a subscriber to your paper
want to give you a good remedy for
rattlesnake bites.
In the first place, an Indian never
dies from the bite of rattler, and
an Indian never dies from bite OF
a mad dog. You will see the great
est curiosity on earth if you see an
Indian with the rabies. They have
a remedy for both. This is the rem
edy
Let the snake go along about his
business, and run to the house and
get an onion about two inches in
diameter, and cut about three cents
worth of strong tobacco. Then get
two tablespoonsfull of salt, cut the
onion and tobacco up pretty fine
with knife, mix in the salt till it
is well mixed. 1t makes a poultice.
Place this on the wound. Make a
new poultice every six or twelve
hours and it will never swell. APP
ply as soon as possible.
Please excuse this, but an Indian
likes to talk, hence this is a long
letter.-Charles Gibson, in San

Do not look for wrong and evil.

THRONGS SURGE DOWN
TABERNACLE TRAILS"
Billy Sundays First Call for Con.
verts in Philadelphia Receives
Great Response.

PHILADELPHIA, January 11.-Eight
torrents of men and women surged
down the eight "sawdust trails" in
the Billy Sunday Tabernacle and Joined
in a weeping, singing and shouting
crowd at the feet of the evangelist
yesterday afternoon and last night. At
the first service $50 and at the second
$40 old and young, poor and rich, good
and bad, publicly announced their new
faith and gripped the hand Of the evan
gelist.
Scores were on their feet and half
way down the tabernacle aisles before
Sunday had finished his announcement
that "the hour is come" 1t was his
first call for converts. and the effect OF
his appeal, following a terrific denun-
citation of modern sins, was instan-
taneous.
"swaying, Sobbing Throng."
Row after row Of the hard pine
benches in the front of the immense
structure filled with the swaying. Sob
bing throng. A poor old woman with
ragged skirt and shawl, who touched
Sundays outstretched fingers, was fol-
lowed by a young girl with earrings
and jaunty aigrette in her hat; big.
broad-chested man was next; little
woman with a crying baby In arms, ana
then two youths fashionably dressed
with flowers in their buttonholes. All
were weeping.
The first person to answer the evan
gelist's call was a young man. who
leaped to his feet the moment he real
ized Sunday was crying for converts
and dashed for the speakers hand. The
second was a woman. After them came
the others in tide that almost swept
the ushers and the police guards from
their feet. Sunday leaned far over his
platform and grabbed each hand as it
was stretched toward him, his forehead
moist and his eyes glittering.
Turns Guns on Modern Dances.
Leading up to his sensational climax.
Sunday had turned his siege guns on
the modern dances.
"Everything the DEVILS in favor OF
I'm against" he shouted. I'm against
the theater because the DEVILS in favor
| Of it. I'm against booze and I'm against
card parties because the DEVILS in favor
Of them.
"And let me tell you," he cried, I'm
against the rotten. licentious dances
that have assassinated the characters
of more girls than anything else in the
world. / don't care II you do have
| them in your lodge or your club or
your home or your church or your
parish house or your social settlement
or your mission. It's the DEVILS prin-
cipal part to wreck women. I'll rip
them to hell and breakfast and back
again"
