HABITS OF THE HOUSE FLY.
Ilarold Somers, M. A., Tell* IThenco E
Coiiips, Whither lie (Joes'.
The common lio;:se fly (Musca D
mostica) is a creature of such secretin
habits. that although from the vet
earliest times he has been with us. ai
the most ancient writers have me
tinned and described him, still vei
little was known of his origin ai
history.
t It remained for t!;^ eminent Bostf
biologist, Dr. A. S. Packard, iu 1ST
to make known his origin, habits ar
transformations from the egg throuj
the larva state with its two changi
to the pupa state, then to the perfe
fly.
Near the first of August the fen.a
lays about 120 eggs of a dull grr
color, selecting fresh horse manure
which to deposit her eggs, and so s
cretes them that they are rarely see:
it takes only twenty-four hours f
rr> ii;itoii into the first form <
larva, a white worm one-quarter <
an incli in length ami one-tenth in c
ameter. They feed 011 the decayir
matter of their environment, and tv
changes or casting of skins occur b
fore they turn into the pupa state: tit
change conies very suddenly. The e
lire period from the egg to the pur
state is from three to four days,
moist food is wanting when in tli
oonditiou they will eat each other ar
thus decrease their number. Ileat ai
humidity greatly assist their develo
inent, as upon careful computatR
each pound of manure around stabli
and outhouses develops under favor
ble conditions over one thousand Hie
It is 110 wonder that where these co
ditioris exist, we have such a veritab
harvest of the fly pest.
In the pupa state when the fly
about to emerge, the end of the pur
| case splits off, making a hole throu?
which the fly pushes a portion of i
head: but here it seems to encounter
difficulty: me pupa rase is iuu ?wu ,u
liaril to pass through, but nature coim
to its assistance, and a sort of hladdi
like substance forms behind the hea
which swells out apparently filled 'wit
air; it acts as a means of pushing aw.i
the pupa case and releases the fl
"When the fly first emerges it rui
around with its wings soft, small ar
baggy: it is pale and the colors ai
not set; its head rapidly expands an
the bladder formation passes awav
within a few ho^irs the wings grow ai;
harden, it is now a perfect fly.
The whole time from the depositir
of the egg to the perfect fly is not ov<
ten days in duration. Many persoi
who observe small flies in midsumun
suppose they are the young, but sue
is not the case, tliey are flies that ai
imperfectly nourished in the larvr
and pupae states, and do not attai
full size, in fact, they are the dwarl
of their race. The male fly dlffei
from the female in the front of tl
head between the eyes, being at lea:
one-third narrower, though in size tl
female is rather smaller.
In the pupa state they are often fc
nnon bv the larvae of some of tl
beetles, notably that of the carpi
beetle?, whose pupa, the'dreaded bu
falo "moth." avi11 attack the youu
fly in the pupa case and eating it po
sess the case for itself.
Adult flies, like most other creature
have parasites of minute size that pre
upon them; these cr.11 often be seen i
presenting small red specks over tl
body of the fly.
Another enemy in the form of a fui
sus often attacks the fly in the earl
autumn. This makes its appearar.<
as a white swelling and the whit
spores of the disease can be seen pen
trating the'body of the fly. which
tinally distends and ruptures.
The fly hibernates in winter, but wil
his usual secretive habit, it is very di
flcult to find him in his winter qua
ters. With the first chill of aiitiini
the flies feeling the cold, seek ten
porarv warmth in houses, and cluste
ing together form bunches in the co
ners of walls and other places. Tin
are then sluggish and not so active :
in the warm weather. However, the

of grass on lawns where they hit

lawns becomes dry and warm, long b

wings standing out stiff and useles
but they soon acquire the power 1

where they are such unwelcome vi

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMOM E*
DR. CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE.
Subject: The Sin of Irreverence.
( I Brookirn, is. Y.?Dr. Charles Edward
| Locke, in the Hanson l'lace M. E.
j Church Sunday, prcached on "Fopular
! Desecration of Sacred Vessels; or, The
i Sin of Irreverence." The text was
' i from II Samuel vi:G-7: "Uzzah put
' forth his hand to the ark of God and
took hold of it; and God smote him
there for his error." Dr. Locke said in
. the course of his sermon:
There is danger that our greatest
national sin shall be the sin of irreverence.
The ancient story of Uzzah's
act of desecration in placing his hand
j upon the holy ark of God is full of
, ] serious and important lessons which
j apply with solemn significance to our
age, and our country and our individual
citizenship.
God had given commendment to
Moses to construct a sacred chest to
be overlaid within and without with
pure gold. It was to be surmounted
I with two clieruDim or Beaten goia.
| This casket was to be a receptacle for
j the Tables of Stone which Moses had
' received on the top of Mount Sinni, and
I t. Is beautiful ark was to be an altar of
| prayer which was to be kept in the
1 midst of the people, for God had said,
i "There will I meet with. thee." God
! explicitly commanded that no hand
I should touch the ark save the priests'
! and rings and poles were provided by
I which this sacred Yessel was to be
J carried.
I The Philistines came up against
j Israel and captured the ark and held it
I a captive for sixty years, when David
I conquered Philistia and builded a suit!
able place for the ark, and, with 30.000
! warriors, went down to the borders of
j the enemy's country and secured posi
session of the precious treasure. In
: the excitement and joyousness of this
i long looked for victory, Uzzah's mortal
| sin of irreverence was committed,
i which cost him his life.
In the days of prosperity, irreverence
i grows most insidiously. When men
| feel secure in their own successes they
: are prone to forget tne commands 01
| God. We do not depend so helplessly
| on our Heavenly Father when our
I achievements have given us great confidence
in ourselves. National and ini
dividual prosperity are at once our
I greatest danger and greatest security.
I In the frenzy of victory, as did Uzzah,
; so do we often commit acts of irreverj
ence.
| Sometimes it is fashionable to be ir;
reverent. The Philistines, in trans:
porting the ark, had placed it upon an
| ox cart, and when the Israelites capj
tured the ark they followed the error
I of the Philistines and were returning
I with the ark drawn by oxen, instead
! of carried by the staves and rings, as
j God had peremptorily commanded.
I One act of irreverence leads to anI
other. And when the ark shook as
I the cart went over Nachon's threshing
I floor, Uzzah heedlessly committed his
i serious offense. When the ahurch al
! lows the world to set Its fashions, sncI
rileges, disastrous and deplorable,
| speedily follow.
i Two other fruitful causes of irreverI
enee are forgetfulness and familiarity.
I The ark had been in Uzzali's house
| since his boyhood and he dared to take
! privileges with the sacred furniture.
| Familiarity sometimes breeds eonj
tempt. It is not discoverable that
j Uzzah was either malicious or willful,
j but he was heedless, and even so apparehtly
a harmless sin as heedlessness
brought upon him the awful penalty
| for bis disobedience. The influence of
j sacred tilings depends upon their saI
credness being preserved. God could
j not'control Israel without their respect
and obedience, hence the suffering of
! Uzzah. No sin is more treacherous
i than irreverence. It decoys its victims.
I It is like dry rot in the ship's timbers.
Irreverence slyly gains admittance
where grosser evils would be easily re;
pulsed. Satan is constantly busy try|
ing to transform the sons of Levi, who
I serve at holy altars, into the sons of
j Eli. Beware of the deceptive tenden
j cies oi raminam.Y; wueii uencuie rt]
spect for holy things is lost, then de|
Clement and sacrilege easily enter,
j When reverence departs character canj
not be retained, for character depends
i upon faith and in obedience to sacred
j things.
At Belshazzar's feast, in the sup|
posed impregnable city of Babylon, it
j was the towering crime of irreverence
! in defiling the sacred vessels of the
j temple worship at Jerusalem that
| brought disaster and death to the disj
solute yonng monarch. What are some
1 of the holy things to-day which must
i | be honored and preserved?
The church is a sacred vessel. DediI
: cated to the service of God, it should
. j not be diverted into secular uses. Jesus
' i drove the merchants out of the courts
of the temple, and, as yet, there has
been no permission granted for their
return. The sons of Aaron were devoured
by'the strange fire which they
, undertook to offer at the altars of the
j Lord. And similar results occur to|
day in the consuming of holy instincts
j and respectful inclinations, when the
: church of God is made a place of
j amusement and merchandizing. In
chapels and parish houses many things
are proper which in the sanctuary lead
unmistakably to irreverence.
The Bible is a most sacred vessel.
There is not much danger of bibliolatry,
but we need to be much on our
: guard lest the very availability of our
I Greek Book shall cause it to be less
! appreciated. Things are often valued
| by use in proportion to the sacrifice
j which has been suffered for them,
j A genetleman placed a copy of the
Gospel of St. John on my desk the
I other day, and said it cost only two
| cents. It was in excellent type and
j neatly bound. During the days of
I the persecution of Diocletian, .many
j Christians surrendered their Bibles
and the sacred- utensils of worship,
! and in consequence lost their faith.
I When the Bible goes out of our lives,
; our Christian character loses its chief
support. A man once, in the presence
j of his family, picked up a Bible,
; turned its pages carelessly for a few
! moments, and petulantly threw it
down upon the table, saying. "Pshaw!
give uie Shakespeare!" Perhaps he
i never knew that the Bible was the
| acknowleged inspiration of the marj
velous lines of Avon's greatest bard:
| It is certain no man ever prefers
; any other book who has discovered
i the extraordinary beauty and power
! 4lia Ti.Mo
We must valiantly defend tbe Bible
against irreverence. It is tlie bulk
wark of our civilization?tbe fonntlation
of liberty, the cornerstone of
trutb. I submit whether we do not
commit a serious offense against tbe
sacredness of tbe Hook when we indulge
in constant jokes and jiuns based
! upon tbe Scriptures. It cannot be
1 anything less than sinful sacrilege to
' weave tbe holy personages and incidents
of Bible history into ridieu
lous story. The Bible deals with most
serious questions which involve tbe
life and death and weal and woe of
/
-
\ ' '
the race, and do we not violate^ its
sacred rights when we make It "the
basis of oar fun and laughter? This
is a popular desecration, which, like
Uzzah's sin. has been committed so
long that it has not occurred to many
people that they are unintentionally
underminuig the very book which
they desire most to defend.
The Sabbath is a sacred vessel. A
divinely instituted day. for rest and
'worship and home. We cannot spare
tho Sabbath, but we cannot keep it
if it is steadily allowed to become more
and more a social and a business day.
All vices and enemies of our nation
thrive best where the first day of
the week is decreasingly reverenced.
Dinner parties and hilarious outings
arranged for the Sabbath are direct
attacks upon the security of our republic.
The perpetuity of a nation
depends upon the reverence of the
people. When the temples are empty,
the walls of the citadel crumble.
When the altars of worship are neglected,
virtue and purity are dethroned,
a nation's protectors lose their
courage and spirit of sacrifice and
there is speedily decline and fall. God
has put Himselff on record as ready
to cause those nations to "ride upon
the high places of the earth" which
keen His Sabbaths. History fulfils
in every century the curses of the
Almighty which have rested upon
those people who liave destroyed His
holy day. "Why do we argue the
question when he who runs may read?
The human body is a sacred vessel.
What a marvelous gift is the voice,
with its capabilities of music and
speech. Alas, that ever its powers are
profaned! Consider, too, the tastes
and appetites and muscular possibilities
and vital forces. What exquisite
joys God has invested in the human
body! But, desecrated and disregarded,
how this body may become a
bundle of clashing nerves, a prisonj$en
full of cruel and warring enemies.
God's great apostle wrote, "If any
man defile the temple of God," as the
body is called, "him shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy,
which temple ye are."
The human mind?soul?is a sacred
4 *v? rt ?> la *-?/> 4- *ir!+Vt "nil
\ *1. uiiiii 13 L-iyjL iiiu ?n& v*i*apence,
for out of it are the issues of
life." Man is the upward looking
animal. Kis mind has been created
with powers of concentration and
analysis, that he might find out God.
When man uses his faculties against
his Creator, he has desecrated a sacred
vessel. Man's logical faculty and powers
of invention are often diverted ;o
the injury instead of the elevation of
men. A prostituted printing press is
doing much in "vampire literature" to
violate the human mind. A bad book
or an immodest picture is a poisoned
arrow driven into the mind, from
which an absolute recovery is not possible.
Each must revere his own
mind, and shield himself from the
ten thousand inimical influences that
are intended to thrive on the spoliation
of pure natures. How empty
would be the playhouses and how
bankrupt many of the publishers, if
the American people would suddenly
refuse to be any longer the receptacles
for the filth and corruption of
many of the popular books and most
of the popular dramas!
Josenliiis savs that in the closins
scenes of Jerusalem, such were the irreverent
and sacrilegeous practices of
the people, that if the Romans had
not destroyed the city, some dreadful
judgment like that which befell Sodom
' would have come upon that city. Thus,
indeed, have nations and cities and
individuals disappeared under the disintegrating
processes of irreverence.
As the bold and wicked Belshazzar
was, in revelry and drunkenness, defiling
the sacred vessels of the Lord,
a white hand came out of the black
sleeve of the night, and wrote, in
letters of fire. "Thou art weighed in
the balances and art found wanting!"
And that night the irreverent young
king was found dead in his palace.
The inexorable penalty of irreverence
is death!
But they who bear reverently the
ark of God, who obediently follow the
commands of God. who daily honor
in thought and deed the Son of God,
who hold in highest esteem the privileges
of the sons of God. shall enjoy
peace and joy forever more, for the
reward of reverence is life?here and
hereafter!
Drawn Toward the Unseen Country.
We have secured a property right in
the unseen country because dear ones
have migrated thither, and it now exerts
a more immediate and vital influence
upon us. An old lady who had
made full acquaintance with bereavement
was asked if she ever received
intimation of the presence of those who
had parted from her, and she replied
that she sometimes felt "a drawing."
Daniel Webster, in lines of tribute to
his angel child, touchingly says that
he had expected to become the teacher
of the boy, but that now, instead, the
boy has become the ancesW, the
father and the guide; and the great
statesman humbly*beseecbes the sainted
one to lead him on in the earthly
path. Surely, /all who have experienced
a genuine sorrow by the entrance
of death into the cherished circle, says
Rev. H. P. Dewey, are constrained, if
they have held to the Christian faith,
to feel that Heaven has oecome nearer
and dearer, that life has become more
sacred and duty more commanding,
and that the gracious ministry of the
loved ones has been continued, though
the veil has hidden them from sight.
Site Spoke In Time.
Years ago a young Scotchman from
Fife was leaving home, says Dr. J.
Wilbur Chapman. He was not an active
Christian. His mother went with
him to the turn of the road and said:
"Now, Robert, there is one thing you
must promise ine before you go."
"No," said the lad, "I will not promise
until I know." "But it will not be ditfi
cult," said bis mother. "Then I will
promise," lie said, and she said to him;
"Every night before 3-ou lie down to
sleep read a chapter and pray." He
did not want to promise it, but he did.
Who was tbat Robert? It was ltobert
Moffat, the great missionary, who,
wben he came into the kingdom almost
brought a continent in after him.
Let Vour Light Sliinp.
Tlie visible church is one whose members
let their light shine. The invisible
chnr.-ii is one whose members have
let their lamps go out. The church can
never light the world except by keeping
up a Christianity visible and recognizable
in the world's darkness. If u
Christian's lamp is not bright enough
to light others Heavenward, it will
fail to light the Christian himself in
that direction. If the example does
not shine, the life itself is lacking in
light. Badly lighted churches are not
always those where the gas is dim, but
often they are those where the members
fail to be apparent.
