FIy Killers,

One recommendation of the depart.
ment of agriculture for getting rid Of
flies is powdered hellebore. This when
sprinkled on the manure heaps in which
the flies lay their eggs destroys the
larvae and does not in any way spoil
the manure.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association says the hygienic labOra-
tory of the public health service has
found in salicylic acid an eminently
satisfactory agent for killing adult
flies. This. it says. Is not an objec.
tionable substance to handle, and there
is little danger of toxic effects from &C.
cidental consumption of considerable
doses of it. A per cent solution Of
salicylic acid should be sweetened and
left in shallow saucers where flies will
easily find it.

Widowed Birds.

The married life of most birds could
be taken for model by members Of
the human family. For instance. the
staid. dignited and homcly baldheaded
eagle never mates but once and lives
with his one mate until he or she dies
II left widower--even young wild
ower-the haldheaded eagle never
mates again. He remains alone and
disconsolate in the nest of the rocky
crag or in the branches Of tall pine
that formed his domicile while his
mate was alive. No other female eagle
can tempt him to foRsake his desolate
life. With him once a widower. al
ways a widowcr. The golden wood
peckers live in a happy married state

mates grief is lasting. and she re-
mains widowed bird the rest Of her

unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris. when all the lawyers
walked out, so to speak. A law or
ordonnance was issued and promulgat-
ed by the French king Henry III. Or
dering all lawyers to sign their plead
ings and to state the amount they
were charging their clients for their
services. This was done so that the
lawyers could be properly and suffi-
GENTLY taxed on their incomes. The
lawyers objected, and the strike. caus-
ing an entire stay of judicial proceed
ings, followed. Peace was restored by
the nonenforcement of the ordinance,
though it was not repealed.

"DUCKING" IN BATTLE.
Little Chance For Dodsing Modern
High Velocity Bullets.

Although under the altered cond.
tons of modern warfare both Officers
and men take all the cover they can
get, 1t is still considered bad form To
duck when bullets are whistling Or
shells screaming overhead.
This is q survival of the old Crimeap
days, when men were actually punished
for ducking bullets in battle. That tho
service tradition was not always strict.
" observed even then, however, is ap-
parent from a story told of grizzled
old veteran who. on being remonstrat.
ed with by young corporal for indul.
gence in this very practice, replied, 'Its
all very we'll for you, m'lad, but I'm
family man." and continued to duck at
each report.
It Is ON record, too, that Napoleon
strongly objected to 1t, and on one occa.
sion he even went to the length Q,

officers for STOPPING over his horses

heard whistling over his head.
General Gordon, no mean authority,
was Of q different opinion, though
Writing IN his journal, he says. For
my part, I do not consider judicious
ducking to be q fault, for remember
on two occasions seeing shells before
my eyes which certainly, had l no,
bobbed, would have taken Off my head"
Needless to say, however, it would
be impossible to dodge modern high
velocity projcctile in this free and easy
fashion. 1t cannot be seen, and by the
time it is heard the danger is past
