FLIES AS DISEASE BEARERS.
The Common House Variety Are a
Massa to Health.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has started a crusade against
the common house fly and Is carrying on
extensive experiments as to the best way
of banishing it from tho abodes of men,
The fly has been found to be not only a
nuisance, but a menace to man's health.
Iia hairy body carries both disease and
death. Many epidemics which sweep
over oomraunitie.s in the hot 'exon
have been traced to the fly. Having
ltd origin in filth, it brings with it the
*feria which breed in filth. And as 1t
tons about, now crawling over refuse,
now over the food on the table, flying
from the lips of the sick to the lips of
the healthy, it is said to be more dan-
gerous to modern soniety than were the
wild beasts to primitive man.
The high mortality among the children

families are lamely crowded together,

yell lit the hot season, when the flies
abound. Dr. J. T. C. Nash, in the Jour-
nal of the Royal Sanitary Institute, giv-
ia his experience ea an English health
officer, says that the fly is responsible
for the death of many children because
of polluting the milk which they dying.
eft Is a matter that bas been entirely
overlooked," said Dr. C. 0. Probst, re-
eent1$,'but we now know that tho com-
mon house fly is an agent of importance
Sa crerryleg the germs of typhoid fever.
It was formerly believed that the
germs were only carried in water, milk,
or other liquid food. Flies both breed
and feed in places where the germs are
to be found, and then, flying into our
houses, no doubt often carry the germs
and deposit than on our food.'

ago, the story runs, ho visited his pri-

to photograph the animals. Arrived bo -
fore the cage of a tiger, the young mon-
arch suddenly dosired his minister of
war to hold the beast by the ear while
he photograppbed it.
Dreading ids master's displeasure if he
refused, the tremblinerainister approach-

sprang to its feet, while the wretched
minister clung grimly to it, divided be.
tween fear of the tiger and dread of
the sultan. At that moment, to his in-
expressible relief, the camera clicked, and
his ordeal' was over. His courage did
not go unrewarded. The sultan has die-

Society of Physics exhibitions wore
given of an ingenious combination of
the phonograph with the cinematograph,
whereby the figures upon the screen
were caused to go through all the mo-
tions of singing, toddle tine sounds issued
concordantly from the phonograph so
that the illusion was astonishingly eom-

made before, but seldom with so much

, ployed is called the chronophone.

A curious mistake recently occurred
at the hospital at Amiens. Prance, Two

given birth to a boy and the other had
given birth to a girl. Their babies were
teken from them to be vaoeluated. After
the vaccination the babies, In their awed•
dlhlg clothes, were returned to then
mothers, who went away with them.
Soon afterward one of the mothers
returned to the hospital in tears. Hon
child wen a boy, but on returning bomo
she discovered that'the ovule had hand•
ed her a girl. She insisted on her baby
being returned to her,
A scene of great 00nfnai0n occurred,
as nobody know the address of the
other mother, At last, toward nightfall,
the other mother arrived, greatly emit•
ed, complaining that she had been
given a boy in mistake for her girl
baby. The change was duly executed
and the two mothero went away happy,

Everything was done in Esperanto-

egates of various nationalities, and to

man, whose life, I imagine, ban not been

in Eperanto; the Mayoress, with an ac-
cent less sternly British, followed him;
the secretary of the congress, whose

spoke Esperanto as if he had never spok-
en anything else; Colonel Pollen, the

Esperanto of a sonorous elocutionary
quality. We sang "God Save the King"

Managing a Husband.
Montrouge, who has ,just aeturned
from 70 years' residence within a few
milds of rho North Pole, tells of a curi-
ous custom existing among a colony of
Poles who dwell there, The -woman is
the head of the house and the family,
and she has an iogenioue sytstom of keep•
ing her husband out of mischief during
her absence, The method Is 0Implieity f4
self. As she is leaving she pours a pail•
fel of snow water over the entrance to
theenow hut, This instantly freezes and
the husband is thus eafely imprisoned
within the house, as he is too lazy to
dig out. and is therefore compelled to
stay et home until the return of his lady,

Mow It Often, Water It Well, Use a
Good Commercial Fertilizer.
The oftener grass is mowed the better
It will withstand dry weather. If it be-
comes necessary to apply water during
July or August, do it thoroughly. A lit-
tle wetting with the good for nothing
lawn sprinkler is worse than none.
Enough water should be applied, says
the Village, so that the ground below
the sod becomes thoroughly soaked, thus
attracting the roots downward. Do not
use the lawn mower when the grass is
wet.
Try using a commercial fertilizer on
the fawn at intervals during the eum-
mer. The result will eurprieo.you. A11
fertilizer manufacturers make a lawn
fertilizer that is much more efficacious
tban stable manure, more cleanly and
sanitary.
If old, well rotted manure could be
applied very thick and allowed to re-
main, some good might be accomplished,
but rho usual custom is to spread a
thin coat, leave it a few weeks and then
rake it off. It might about as well not
be used at all.
The commercial fertilizer is much bet•
ter in every way. By its use an old,
worn out lawn may be rejuvenated. Any
fertilizer dealer who knows his business
is able to give full information about
its cost and use.
If you have a thin, weedy spot in
your lawn, scratch it and sow grass seed
very thick. If at first you don't suc-
ceed in getting turf, try again. Thick
grass will drive out the weeds in time.

She Knew the reed.
The Bishop of Maryland was touch in-
terested in uplift work among the lowly,
and maintained a school ,for neglected
children in one of the poorer quarters of
Baltimore, says tho Sun. Among the
pupils was a little girl, whosefreeuse
of "swear words" indicated lamentable
conditions in the home circle. one ono
of the bishop's visits to the school the
teacher told him of this little girl's per-
sistent use of profanity, and asked him
to talk to her a1out it. Later the good
bishop called the child to him, and, after
putting her at ease by a few kind and
fatherly words, told her how very wrong
it W00 for a little girl to swear, and hop-
ed she would not do it any more.
Tho child, in no wise abashed, wanted
to know of the bishop "who told hint."
"0h, • he said evasively, "a little bird
told me."
"Well," said the child, with a flash of
quick intelligence, "I bet it was one of

New Way to Cut Steel.
A new method of cutting steel is said
to have been patented by a Berlin en-
gineer. The procees consists in first
heating the metal by means of an 0xy-
hyoltagon flame and then cutting it by'
a smell stream of oxygen gas, which
unites with the steel and forms a fusible
oxide, which flows freely from the cut.
It is said that the cut is fully as smooth
as that made by the saw, and is only
1.10(10 inch wide.

Encouraging Storage of Coal.
At the solicitation of some -Western
railroads, the Interstate Railroad Com-
mission has sanctioned a reduction of 25
cents on coal shipped in certain parts
of the Nest during the months of July
and August. This action is for the
purpose of encouraging the shipment and
storage of ooal during the period when
the greatest number of mars are available
for the purpose, rather than later when
the demand for cars is greater than
the supply.

The Walls of Jericho.
Professor Saltine excavations on the
rite of the ancient city of Jericho are
yielding unexpectedly rich treasures. In
his last letters to the Vienna Academy
of Science, the professor writes that over
a hundred men are digging at five differ-
ent points.
One of the most interesting finds le
the historical city wall, built of burnt
Inns bricks. 1t was some ten feet in
thickness,' rising from a stone foundar-
tion. On the western side of the city the
wall was nearly forty feet in width. At
another point a private house wee found
built over another house of a still ear-
lier epoch.
Other discoveries include lamps, plates,
cups, needles, weights, mortars and mills
of bronze and stone, some of very rough
and primitive handiwork, and othera
very finely executed. In the inner city
remains of rows of houses have been un-
covered. The ancient Hebrew lettering
proves that the 01d lithos, characters

Professor Sellin hopes to renew the ex-
cavating work next winter. In the mean-
time he says that the work already done
has opened up a wealth of material for
the student of the pre -Israelite and Can-
aaaite period. -Pall Mall Gazette.
