HABITS OF THE HOUSE FLY. gtrold Unman. M. A Telle TV hence II CoaMi Whither He Corp. The common home fly (Mimca Do ppstico) I a creature of inch secretive liatilts. that although from tlw very Wiliest times hp lias been with no, and ,l,e niot ancient writers have men lloned and described liliu, still very Uttle was.Lnowu of his origin and liistory. It ii'iiialned for the eminent Boston biologist, Dr. A. S. rncliard. In 1ST:!, to mnke Unown Ills origin, habits and transformations from the egg through He larva state villi Its two changes to the pupti state, then to the perfect Near the first of August the female Ijrs about 120 eggs of a dull gray J color, selecting fresh horse manure in which to deposit her eggs, and so Be fretci them that they are rarely seen; It takes only twenty-four honrs for them to hatch Into the first form of larva, a white worm one-quarter nf an im h in length and one-tenth In di ameter. Tliey feed ou the decaying matter of their environment, und two ebunges or casting of skins occur be fore tliey turn Into the puna state; this change comes very suddenly. The en tire period from the egg to the pupa flaln Is from three to four days. If moist food Is wanting when in this roiullliou tliey will cat each other und thus ilecrense their number. Heat and liuuiMity greatly assist their develop raeut, as upon careful computation c.uli pound of manure around stuhles and outhouses develops under favora ble conditions over one thousand files. It is no wonder that where these con ditions exist, we ljave such n veritable liarveat of the fiy'lpefr. - In the pupa slute when the fly Is aliout to oilier;?, tha end of the pupa case splits off, making n hole through which the fly pushes a portion of its head; nt here it seems to encounter a dltllciiUy; the pupa case Is too stiff and hard to pans through, but nature conies to its assistance, and a sort of bladder like substance forms behind the head, which swells out appnreiitly filled with air; it ads as a means of pushing away the pupa case and releases the fly. When the fly llrst emerges it runs nrouud with its wings soft, snnill and baggy; It is pale and the colors art not set; Its head rapidly expands and the bladder formation passes nwny Within a few hours the wlups grow und harden, It is now a perfect fly. The whole time from the depositing of the egg to the perfect fly is not over ten days in duration. Many persons who observe small flies In midsummer suppose they are the youug, but such Is not the case, tbey'are files that are Imperfectly nourished in the larvae and pupae states, and do not attain full size, in fact, they are the dwarfs of their race. The male fly differs from the female in the front of the Lead between the eyes, being at least oue-third narrower, though in size the female is rather smaller. In the pupa state they are often fed upon by the larvae of some of the beetles, notably that of the carpet beetle, whoso pupa, the dreaded buf falo "nioth," will attack the young fly In the pupa case and eating it pos sess the case for itself. Adult flies, like most other creatures, baw parasites of minute size that prey upon them; these can often be seen as presenting small red Bpccks over the body of the fly. Another enemy In the form of a fun gus often attacks the fly In the early autumn. This makes its appearance as a white swelling and the white ipores of the disease cau be seen pene trating the body of the fly, which it finally distends and ruptures. Tlie fly hibernates in winter, but with his usual secretive hublt, it is very dif ficult to find him in his winter quar ters. With the first chill of autumn the flies feeling the cold, seek tem porary warmth in houses, und cluster ing together form bunches in the cor ners of walls and other places. They ore 'hen sluggish and. not so active as in the warm weather) However, they do not make a permanent stay indoors, but on the first mild, suuuy day, seek the window to get out and find their permanent winter hiding place; many prefer to make their homes in the roots of grass ou lawug where they hide themselves so effectually thut the ice and snow of winter Coei not destroy them iu their hibernating state. If In the first warm days of spring when the suuw Is gone and the grass on the lawns becomes dry and warm, long be fore the yellow dandelion shows its heud. a close observer may see num bers of files crawling up on the grass to get the welcome sunshine, their wings standing out stiff and useless; but they soon acquire the power of flight in the warm rays of the sun. A great many days, however, elapse be fore they appear iu the homes of men, where they are such uuwelcomo vis itors. In recent years, the medical profes sion have demonstrated that while the fly Itself does not propagate disease, it is one of the most industrious carriers of disuse germs which by contact ad here to his feet, hairy legs and body, distributing them to innocent victims. If every house-keeper could know all these interesting facta which have never before been brought to their ut tentlon, they would realize the im portance of securing the very best Hi xtermlnator. IN CONSTANT ACONY. A West Virginian's Asrftil Distress Through Kidney Troubles. W. L. Jackson, merchant, of Parkurs burg, W.

A silk petticoat may be made to serve almost twice Its usual period of useful ness If it is lined as far down as the bottom rullle with nun's veiling or sonic other light weight fabric. The weight of the skirt Is not noticeably in creased, nor does it spoil the fit about the hips If carefully done. liy doing this the skirt is kept In shape, and there will be much less ten dency to split at the seams, a fault that is so commonly developed In sills petti coats, especially those of taffeta.

When the hands of elbow gloves, es pecially black or ton ones, grow Bhnb by, cut the long wrists off carefully and turn them into the SLpnrato wrists which came out Inst winter. This may be done by simply stitching a flat licm at the edge and attaching a clasp or two. Shore gloves finish thorn out, the Joining Jlnee hidden under a wrinkle. Or new short gloves may bo stitched apon tne old long wrists. In either case the secoud pair is got at very small cost as. compared ta that of tne first. Three Wedding Hints. Don't impoverish your family by Insisting on nn -extravagant wedding. The show lasts but a short time; the poverty sometimes consequent upon it remains. Don't invite everybody you ever heard of in order to get presents, Every present is a mortgage on your future income. Down to the third gen eration you will have to pay present for present. Unless you are to go much In so ciety, choose your gown for its use fulness. Think of the -wedding gowns you have seen that have cost no end of money and been worn only once, possibly twice. Fancy Work of Irlnh Women, In recent years the Irish women have been turning their attention largely to fancy work in the way of lace hnudker- chiefs, crocheting, knitting and other home work, selling their, products to the many societies which in recent years have been organized to dispose of these native Irish products in Eng land and the United States. Nearly every Itirse passenger vessel that touches at Queenstown nllows thee talkative, witty Irish women to come aboard with great baskets of their noma niadu wares to sell. Some. times they sell as much as $Tiy) worth in n single hour while the ship rides at nuchor. Pittsburg Dispatch. Popular Colore. One of the latest fashionable color is known as "patent apple green." It is difficult to conceive a color more fas cinating. It causes nn Irishiuiin to blink twice. The shade was taken from the tail feathers of u South American bird of paradise. Another startling tint is "vert antique." This Is apparently a combination of Nile green and turqujis". The average critic can not say vihether it Is green or blue.

A doctor exj.-sseg the opinion that nluu times out of ten the woman who nag is tired. One ti'iie out of ten she Is hateful. Times out of mind her bus bund la to blame. The cases that come under the phy sloliiu's eye are those of the women who are tired, nud who have been tired so long that they are suffering from some form of nervous disease. They may think they lire only tired, but la fact they ere 111. In such cases the woman often suffers more from her nagging than her husband or tho chil dren with whom she finds fault. She knows she does it. be does not Intend to do it. She suffers In her own self-respect when she does It, and In the depth of her soul lougs for sopie thing to stop it The coutMtlon Is uu- ally brought on by broken sleep, Impro per food, want of gome other exercises than housekeeping, and enough of out-of-door air nnd practical objective tiilnklug. It is often the most unselfish and most affectionate of women who fall Into this state, says Woman's Life. They are too much devoted to their families to give thenisjlvcs enough of any healthy exercise and diversion enough of naps, perhaps, or concerts. Oowus That "Melons;." How few women understand the art of wearing their gowns well. They ! may have the prettiest, most ex pensive nnd latest costumes obtain able, but they might far better be bung on wax figures than ou some of the living and moving possessors of them. To make a gown, all the gowns a woman wears, part and parcel of her Individuality, as Miss Nethersole does for instance, is not possible to every woman, nnd vet it seems that many more might acquire .1 semblance I of the gift if they would but try to ' do so. Gowns cannot "belong" to a j woman in every line nnu motion, un less some thought is given to train ing one's self in the wearing of them. It is worth while to acquire this ac complishment To acquire It and to perfect It as this actress has must be reward enough for taking the utmost pains. And gowns themselves appear to have nn intelligence in the matter. If the first time they are worn they suit and fit it seems most natural thing for them to do ns well at every subsequent wearing, but it is almost Impossible to reform a gown, making one that has not been well trained over to seem like one that owns Its wearer. Of course, one does not learn from seeing Miss Nethersole on the stage how she has cultivated this gift, but to see her in the enjoyment of It Is to make every woman ambitious to copy her. Boston Transcript. Daughter of Lovely Womrn. Every woman so inconsiderate as to have been a beauty lu her youth owes her growii-up daughters big damages. The maternal reputation works as a blight. Many a girl might make headway as a beauty herself except for the deadly family standard a yet mora well fa vored parent has set. That balks her at every turn. "You are a charming girl, my donr, but you ore not quite up to your moth er iu looks; sho was a beauty," nn old beau will say with brutal candor of a family friend. While others will less openly declare, that "Mary hasn't her mother's complexion," or drop remarks to the effect that "mother and daughter appear the same age," or, "Mary is a washed-out likeness of her mother;" or that "Mrs. 'Brown's daughter can't compare with her mother." The second generation, under such circumstances. Is apt to have every good point discounted. And credit is lost for any inherited charm reduced at all in transmission. "It was cruel In mother to have been such n beauty," wails one of the vic tims, "the public expects so much of me. Sho should have scrimped on her own loveliness if she expected me to be n social success. Beauty's mother must neeJs get some credit for furnishing the first draft of the pattern, anyway, however much beauty may have Im proved upon it. "But beauty's daughter. Alas, and alas, what a handicap it is, to be sure!" Now Ilaveu Ilegister. Glrla In Germany, The Herman girl leaves school nt about fifteen years of age, by which time she bus learned to sew, mend and supposedly to speak English and French. She has not learned higher mathe matics, says Modern Women, but she has learned the small things which fit a girl for a housewife or companion, and that, lu Germany, is woman's only sphere. However much we American girls may enjoy our colleges we dare not pity the German girls, for they have something which takes their place and of which we can have no conception until we reside in Germany a few mouths. Did you ever hear of a pension? 'It is one of the most enjoyable things which exists. Certain influential lu dles, mostly widows or maiden aunts, make known that they are willing to take a limited uumber of young ladles into their family. We went to Hanover, two of us girls, with a horror and dread of a boarding school, us we beard a pension de scribed. We found ourselves iu a fam ily of eight girls, ull from the very best class of Germans, and all placed under Pran von H.'s care for a year or more. None of the girls had any special ob ject iu life; a few wanted to learn how to keep house, a few Indulged in nil hour's music lesson per week, but most of them came, as is the Gorman cus tom, for tho sake of becoming polished, r.ud being escorted to concerts, thea tres, balls, receptions, student Kuelpes, etc., opportunities not afforded In smaller cities, and even not In many cities that arc larger than Hanover. Consequently our chaperon accepted Invitations for her girls, purtics were given and tho great Intimate family spent a year full of pleasure. Potency of the Core. Thomas Edisnn onco told this story: "In tho year 1S73 a man from Massa chusetts came to California with u chronic liver complaint. He searched all over the Co:i6t for a mineral spring to cure the disease, and finally be found, dowu in the San Joaquin Val ley, a spring, the waters of which al-' most Instantly cured him. He there fore started a sanitarium, and people ull over the world came, and were quickly cured. Last year this man died, and so powerful had been the ac tion of the waters that they had to tuke his liver out and kill it with a club." Clyde Fitch has gone abroad to spend the summer. He has a villa at Flor ence, where he passes much of his time while In Eurr?e. THE SERVANT PROBLEM. London's Experiment With " Lady Helpers." London has an association, the La dles' Aracbne Club, named nfter the skilled needlewoman whom the god dess Minerva changed Into a sp'.der out of pure jealousy of her accom plishment. This club has for its ob ject the solution of n .double problem, one the obtaining domestic employ ment for educated women nnd the other, the relief of housekeepers who iieed highly (rained assistants, for "ser vants" Is a term not (o be applied to domestics of this lofty category. In connection with this club there has been formed "The Arachne's Maids' Union," one of whose objects is to provide temporary employment, there by affording relief from monotoniy nnd strain. The Union lias an out-of-work fund, and has settled fl perplexing question, that of the mode of address ing the educated women domestics. Workers engaged from 1hp Araclnio Club may. In future, use the term "maid" before either suii:?-t.p or Chris tian name, or the titH "Miss" or "Mrs." before the sunlamp, "us this tends to courtesy to and from nil classes." Thus Is settled, once for all, the manner of address In dealing with thesp distinguished lady helpers. Moreover, it has been solemnly re solved that In future the Arnchiip Club will provide no one for n permanent post In fauil.ksj unless nu uiidcrser v.mt is' employed. Sonic mistresses complain that the lady household assistants demand a latch-lny and require too much ni:l from lower-class servants in the drudgery of ho;is?U.leplng. But, all In all, nn Interesting attempt to reconcile genteel poverty with the "saving of face" for the educated domestics. The club appears to bo doing n good work lu its way, but the regulations adopted to Insure respect shown to Us bene ficiaries throw n curious light on the caste lines so sharply drawn iu English social life. Lady helpers object to the dirty work of making tiros ami the rough work of scrubbing floors, nud appear to claim something of the position of nn "amn de Haves," or housekeeper, in wealthy Spanish-American families. Society women welcome the huly help ers who relieve tliein quite ns much, ot even more, than the "social secretary" who looks after the routine of corres pondence answering or sending notes of invitation, cards, etc. The English housekeeper has her servant question, as well as the house keeper, native or foreign In Mexico, and we note the following paragraph in thp London Observer: "The domestic servant of the future will be a rara ovls, and only serve at the table of the rich. The middle-class will have to face the problem ns best It may. Probably the solution will be found in cheaper flats and a good res taurant on the premises." That cheerful optimist who predicts the coming of the "servantless age" must be populnr among tjie British housekeepers. Mexican Herald. Siberian Hotter Expected. A firm of Loudon Importers of food stuffs predicts that there will be a slump in the price of dairy products tho world ever as soon ns Siberia strikes a steady gait in butter produc tion. The reuson assigned for this astonishing prophecy Is that Siberia is now exporting annual;- a little more than 80,(XK,000 pounds of butter, while tho dairy regions are capable of pro ducing tifteen times an much, or more than the iinrorts of Grea. Britain from all her possessions. The Ixmdon firm, having studied the Siberian dairy prospects oil tho ground, thinks that it will be so difficult fo: Canada and New Zealand, tho chief sources of Groat Britain's brtter. sup ply from her colonics, to compete with Siberian butter that they will have to drop rut of that department of dairy exporting and confine incir attention to cheese making. It adds that Den mark is already feeling the strain of Siberian competition. However this may be, it is certain flint butter making is becomiug nearly ns important iu Siberia as all her other industries put together. Yet it is possible that tho great slump iu the dairy business will be averted. There is evidence of a growing appetite for butter among the Far Eastern Asiatics. If those countless millions add butter to their bill of fare tho cows will have a busy time of It Famoue Tree Gone. Lnfayettc's famous "Big Tree," one of the oldest and best known land marks in Indiana, is no more. The giant oak, uudf-r whose branches Gen, William Henry Harrison slept while on his way to the battle of Tippecanoe, has been cut down. Tho tree, which Is supposed to be more than two hundred yeurs old, stood directly in the middle of the Iliverslde road, midway between the city of Indianapolis nnd Tecum seh trail and the State Soldiers' Home When the road was built in 1372 the tree's history saved it from destruc tion and the highway went around it on each side to prevent its being cut dowu. It U supposed to have marked the site of an old Indian vil lage, as many arrow heads and other aboriginal weapons have been due UP near it. The Indiuu chief, Tecumseh, is said to have stood beside the tree and delivered addresses to his braves and held numerous council fires be side it Number of Wouien Employed, The census returus show that 5,000, 000 and more women are employed in the nation's industrial life. There are three times as many women stenog raphers as there were ten years ago, while the number of women book keepers and accountants has doubled. The percenlugo of saleswomen also shows a corresponding increase. Wo men have risen to be treasurers of Btreet railways, presidents of national and savings bunks, secretaries of financiers (on salaries of $10,000 and $12,fit)l), executive heads of building i. nil contracting firms, and buyers for largo stores.

Geneva Is only one of the universi ties of little Switzerland, according to Charles F. Thwing, In Harper's Maga zine. Ha.sc, founded In 1640; Laus anne, founded as an academy In 1537, and as a university In 1890; Zurich, founded In 1832; Bern, founded In 1S34; Freiburg, founded In 18S!) have each secured a high educational place, though In Its historic Imprcsslvcness Geneva Is unique. But Geneva and her five companions are noble Illus trations of the spirit and power of elemocracy. Their support Is derived largely from the cantons In which they are located. Although the constitution of 1818 authorized tbe federal government to erect and to maintain a polytechnic school and university, the university has not been established. The can tons support their universities with a willingness which is aa great aa ob tains In the state of the American union touching their respective state universities. Tho University of Zu rich Is maintained by a common wealth of only 50,000 people, and with in an area of less than 700 square miles. Basel, with a population ot less than 100,000, supports Us uni versity. They are examples of the power of an enlightened democracy which interests Itself in the' highest education. This interest Is not con fined, cither, to the cause of liberal learning. For the technical schools of Zurich are among tbe best of the world. Children Keep City Clean.
