% FIGHT THE FLIES I AS YOU WOULD THK MOST DAXOK HOI'S DISH ASK. All lloust's Should Ih> Scrwnwl So Ah to Keep tlie Filthy Little lVstx Ollt. Files are so filthy and so detrimental to health, to say nothing of tho( annoyance they cause, that all residences should l?e screened, says the ( Progressive Farmer. If the expense of wire screens is too great, the cloth mosquito netting may be tacked ovei all windows at. very little cost, but frames will have to be made tor streething the netting over doors. There are many schemes for killing the little pests.. Thej*e is also the old scheme of pulling up roosting brushes for the flies, which may bo made of paper cut l?i strips ana hung on the ceiling. When (he Hies got on the brushes at night, a sack may be slipped over the roosts, so that the flies lnuy bo killed with little trouble. it may he* necessary to repeat the work from time to time as more flies get into house. Sticky fly paper is another remedy often used, but the paper is unpleasant to have about. Paper may be pasted or pinned into tho form of the large part of a funnel, with a half- inch hole whore the point of the funnel would bo If there were no hole. Place this funnel in the mouthof a large fruit jar and ha\e soapsuds In the jar. A P'tlo s,ntup may ho put on a cork that floats in the suds, the syrup being t<? draw the flies into the jar. Once in, they will not have tin* sense to got out and the iuin-'s "com (be suds v:i)l kill them. Sot the jar at a well lighted window, a* the flies will congregate there. The jar will have to he cleaned out well every two o< three days, or it wlli smell bad f<*om the decaying flies. This Pap is as goo 1 as iv is cheap. Modern science shows that insects are largely responsible for disease in the human family, and perhaps tho ^ common housefly is leader among Insects in giving persons disease. They breed in tilth, develop in tilth, feed in filth, and carry tiltli whore ever they go. From their small size it might be supposed that they could not carry enough tilth to make their presence dangerous, hut disease frormst nrn km i>yt r<?inolv Minnll tlisit a great number of them may be carried on anything as small as the tip of a pin point. One germ can as easily start a colony of germs as a bit of Pair nit da sod can start a Mmcli of flurnuida. So, it is erroneous to suppose that a fly is too small to he a carrier of disease. Many epidemics of the hot season have been traced to the fly. It is more dangerous for man under modern conditions than wild beast were to man when he lived in the open, without a dwelling for protection. Some years ago when cholera was killing from two to four convicts a day in a Manila prison, the disease was stamped out promptly by screening all opening and trapping what f nv flies accidentally entered. The fly is responsible for tlie death of many children through polluted milk. The fly likes milk; and when it can get to this food, it plants bacteria, which breed rapidly and make milk dangerous. , We are told that ninety-nine of every hundred flies that infest houses belong to the family which breeds in stable filth. One female lays an average of one hundred and twenty eggs n a season, the egg hatches in eight hours, hatches into a maggot that eats ravenously and grows fast for five days; the maggot turns into a pupa and sleeps nearly five days, t then in about ten days from the laying of the egg the fiy emerges from the pupa state with wings?an adult fiy to trnved about and spread the disease whereover it finds an opportunity. Each of the young female flies Is soon ready to take up the work of multiplying their kind. Each fly is capable of visiting a garbake heap and carrying thence germs ol such disease as typhoid fever or dip ll.,...!.. .. f ??? <1,1,(1/ II1CI in. DUlllu hi uiii quiuuiio n inn in camp during the Spanish wai were infected with typhoid fever l>: flies that had access to sewag* dumps. A farmer who keeps his owi place clean may he made sick b; flies that come from a garbage pile o some sick neighbor. We are told that if there were m filthy barnyards or stables t her would bo no flies, since they woub have no place to grow; and we ar also told that they grow in any ani inal or fowl excrement. A linn com post heap free from maggots, as th feamale files penetrate such heaps t lay eggs. A hen working in a hea of manure will destroy many youn flies. The hen also makes the sin face too dry for hatching the fly egg* All this shows that each porso should keep his own premises cloa and have his house screened, so thn flies may not come from a neighbor'* where there is sickness and thus car ry the disease. It. has been state* that one female lays an average o one hundred and twenty eggs in i season; and supposing that half tha many flies develop figure up what th< number of her offspring Is af er throe or four generations. I)o not be content with keeping the premises clean outdoors and screening the house. Do not leave food ?... . Jst HKAltT LAID BARK. Woman's Vital Organs Seen In Action by Operating Physician. That the heart and lungs can be exposed to view performing their functions and that manipulation of the heart will restore life are facts demonstrated by a recent operation in 1 .OHM Island College hospital, Brooklyn. N. Y. The operation was successful, the patieut living for four nays. 1 a tor piu uinonia sci in and she d'ed within 1'J hours Dr J. Sherman Wright, who performed the opeiatiou, says It would he unprofessional to publish details of the operation. From what Is learned at the hospital a woman of "><) years of ago was suffering from cancerous growths in the breast. They were pressing her heart and it was certain she could not live. Dr. Wright determined to untU i take a desperate chance. She was opened on the right side that the pressure of air might not stop the heart. The right lung collapsed and the patient was breathing with one lung while her breast bone, two ribs and' a collar bono were removed, together with every trace of the cancerous growth. In the midst of the cutting he heart ceased treating and it was retired the woman was dead. Oxygen was tried and other known means for restoring respiration. Finally Dr. Wright reached nto breast, squeezed the heart with his lingers and the beating began. The incisions were sowed up and were healing when the patient was seized by | iicumonla v.d died * i*ir< 'I'll \ it will. nitoiMTPn Farm 1 Icq nested to Duughter l*rovi(I? 'M Conditions Aro MH.

Pasture and a "warm barn" for a cow is specified, and all the firewood Mrs. Schroeder may need. On the lirst day of December of each year a pig weighing not less than 150 pounds must ho turned over to the widow, and if the pig is held until December and found to be one ounce shy of the required weight, the Gladdens are in danger of losing their inheritance.

Japanese lMiysciim Makes Claims in American University. Among the members of the graduating class of the Medical department of Willamette university, at Salem, Ore., is a Japanese physician, who claims he can cure tuberculosis. Dr. V. Takabatakc,physicina and surgeon, came to this country to learn the English language and American ways. lie has a hospital in Tokio and served in the Japanese navy during the late war with Russia and in ihe Chinese war.. He asserts he has discoveied a serum that will cure tuberculosis in the first and second stages, and between 20 and 20 per cent, of the cases in the third stage, which until recently were thought to he hopeless. The doctor has treated cases in Oregon and the results have been entirely satisfactory. .Only a few years ago leprosy was declared to be Incurable but progressive physicians have waged such a persistent battle that the spread of the scourge of the human race is practically prevented. The aim ol tho profession is now against inner culosis, which is said to he the cause of one-seventh of the deaths in tl e world. The perm of the disease * > as | dhcovered in 1882 by Dr. Itober Kock, of Germany, lie learned a t the same time that it will not develoi . in fresh air and sunshine. Precau tion and serum are hailed as tin ^ means of preventing the spread o the disease. ?

For the one, simple reason that he looked like somebody else, F. N' Rush, of New York city, has played the tragic | art. in one of tfie greatest farce comedies that escaped the hoards of u theater.

It was simply because of a chance resemblance to a forger that Rush has been made to suffer every mental anguish the law can inflict short of hanging. h> face, figure, manner and even voice, Mr. Rush resomblesa forger, badly wanted by the police of a score of cities, who lias been traveling over the country for several years, leaving a trail of worth ivjoo |f,,|/?-| <1 IIVI liupnu V ICl 1 IllS. U])wardH of 100 persona have declared on oath that they knew him, and clamored for his conviction. His relatives and lawyers have grown suspicious in I ho lace of the tremendous pile of circumstantial evidence that has piled up against him. Evangelists have prayed over him in prison, and then turned away in disgust, pronounced him a hardened sinner because he refused to confess to crimes of which he knew nothing. Yet in the end Rush has been acquitted by an alibi so certain that his prosecutors have been made to look ridiculous. It is nearly a year since Mr. Rush went West to find his remarkable crime record awaiting him. It was in Cincinnati that he was arrested last September, and when lie was taken to jail the police told him, to his astonishment, that he was John I'\ Blair, alias John H. Baldwin, alias Boyd G. Clark, alias I<\ N. Rush, alias S, S. Pickney, and that lie was wanted for forgery in Chicago and several other cities. He was actually taken to Chicago, where his troubles began. Oast in jail, he was speedily overwhelmed with such a mass of identifications, crlmos nnrl nvtrtonr*? fh:it hie 1ml ivnc sot at n prohibitive figure, and he languished five month in ins coll while the prosecution was building ii|> a case aganst him. When the trial finally arrived Rush was positively identified as the slick forgei by a score of persons who had been duped. The array of witnesses produced against him proved so convincing to the jury that he was actually found guilty. Hut a doubt had been raised in the judge's mind, and he was let off with a month's imprisonmnent and a fine of $500. Hut he was no sooner released than he was re-ar rested on war rents from other cities and was cast into jail again.

In rebuttal of the five days evidence submitted > the district attorney supplement V?1>V a four hour speech from that official, Rush presented his ! simple alibi to the jury, and was acquitted in 1 1 minutes. Later he showed to the entire satisfaction of ' the Chicago authoufies that he was ' a victim of the most remarkable case ' or mist niton loonruy on recoru in *- that city, lint ho is living in constant 1 fear of arrest in other cities which he ' visits in his business of traveling ro" presentntfvo of a prominent Now s York drug firm. * f .AN Olil> COUPLF, KLOPKK.

Tin* Senator Now Knjoyiii^ the Fine Climute of Spain. There will !>o general interest in the report as to the physical condition and trip of Senator Tillman, who is now in Spaiu. In a letter written May 2f?, from Gibraltar, this interesting statement is made: "Senator Tillman feels that there has been a distinct gain. He has a line appetite, sleeps well and lias no serious symptoms whatever. The swimming in the head and feeling of uncertain equilibrium have disappeared. Unless there is some organic trouble he does not see why he will not return home in the fall as well as a man of his age ought to hope ti? be. "The voyage, he says, has been exceptionally pleasant, with only one rough day and one of moderately brisk wind. The rest of the time the weather has been fine and tho trip enjoyable.

After landing at Gibraltar ItIh plans were to take a slide trip to Tangier, in Africa, and return to Gibraltar to visit Seville, Cordova, Toledo, Madrid and Granada; then to get back to Gibraltar in time to take the next White Star steamer, June 12, and go on to Naples. "His address until the last of June will be care of Cook's Agency, Koine, Italy." It. will be interesting to note that none of the party, which included Senator Tillman, Mrs. Tillman and Dr. J. W. Rmbcook, were seasick 011 the trip, and that altogether they had a most enjoyable voyage. GOV. IIKYVVAKD VKKY SICK lias Announced Withdrawal from Senatorial Kace. The Columbia State says it has been known to his most intimate friends for two or three weeks that Gov. Heyward's health was in a precarious condition. The condition, however, was not considered serious by any other than his immediate family and his physician until after his trip to Georgia last week. It was hoped that this trip would entirely restore him, but it failed to do so. On his return from Georgia his condition was found to be serious, so much so that his physicians have been insisting for several days on taking him to u sauitorium. lie has, however, strenuously fought this idea. For several days he has been confined to his bed and his condition has grown so much worse that it has been found imperative that he go away at once tor treatment. Gov. I ley ward was too ill to be seen Wednesday, but it was stated on his behalf that he will not be a candidate for the senate since his physicians, Drs. Mcintosh and Guerry, enter the campaign. While it is hoped that rest and treatment will completely restore him to health, his physicians state that he will be unable to return home or to engage in any active work within less than three months 01 more. It is understood that Gov. ITeyward will leave Thursday morning for the Philadelphia Orthopaedic hospital, accompanied by Dr. Mcintosh. SKI.IX I.KSS ltQOZK.
