The Housefly.
Oivilizntion rmtl decency now
tl cm ami that wo make war upon
llio common housefly. We've borne
with him lo u enough. In ( lie
daya of our childhood we eat at
table with doors and windows un
protected , and ate dinner while
Aunt Jane swept Hies from the
food with a tree branch or a proud
peacock's gorgeous tail.
Then civilization brought the
wire screen andwhile the houselliea
continued to increase in number ,
we kepi them out as much as pos
siblo. For the undoing of the
Hies that did get in , inventive
minds gave us sticky lly paper and
various kinds of traps. In the
afternoon the women darken the
houses and try to drive the flies
away by making life unhappy and
clu'orlees for them.
But with all this warfare against
the fly , we haven't begun at the
right place the extermination of
the pest. Civilization and science
have tried in every possible way to
got away from the fly and to drive
him away from us , but have per-
in it ted Hies to multiply ) making
the process of dodging them doubly
hard.
hard.What
What needs to bo done now , and
what IB being done after many
yeais of a mistaken policy in deal
ing with flics , is to prevent ( lies
from coming among us at all.
That can only be doneby general
cleanliness. An expert in the lly
business tells us that if no kitchen
refuse is left unburied ; if food is
screened ; if the house drains are
well looked after , there will be
almost no Hies. For Hies hie tliem-
Helves to the spots where filth is.
They have no use for clean places.
The dirtiest homes have the most
tliee. Purity will kill them. And
purity , too , as you will no doubt
readily agree , will not only drive
Hiea away , but will generally prevent -
vent sickness from coming in your
door. Lincoln Star.
Birds Conserve.
New York , May 25 That no
factor in the problem of conserv
ing the laud , water and forest re
sources of this nation equals that
which nature has provided in the
feathered wild life of the continent
is the opinion expressed by lead
ing ornithologists in this city today
Following the conference of gov
eruora in Washington , oflicers of
the National Association of A win
bon Societies have decided to oll'er
the co-operation of their organiza
tiou in this great work , in pushing
which the association has been the
pioneer and only aclivo organiv.a
tiou ever since its incorporation
Although the workers for bird
preservation were not represented
at the gubernatorial conclave at
t h o White House , government
authorities have assured thorn that
the protection of the insect eaters
that insure life to cropswoods am
waterways should be ouo of the
first practical means to the genera
ond.
Crops flourish and forests stain
to conserve land and water largely
through the activities of the exist
ing bird guard that ceaselessly
fights their natural destroyers , the
iugestigators of the government
point out. With a known loss of
over $800,000,000 to the crops of
the country last year due to killing -
ing off their guardian flocks , the
corresponding effects on woods
and waters may be reckoned in the
billions of dollars , the Audubon
workers declare. Uniform laws
for bird protection , if adopted by
the states , would go far to ward off
these growing inroads of insects
and other pests , they soy , and this
might well bo the first step to be
taken following the deliberations
of the house of governors.
While the value of the birds to
the farmer , orchardist and planter
has for years been recognized , it
is believed by the authorities thai
their importance in preserving the
forests is not generally known ,
According to a recent report ol
the government , insects aleut
causa au annual loss to the trees o :
the country estimated at over i
hundred million dollars. On tin
oak alone four hundred species o
insects which are Bought and con
sumed by the birds of the forests
prey constantly , the experts of the
Biological Survey have discovered ,
On the willow ISO each species
constantly attempt itj destruction ,
on the pine 105 , on the hickory
170 , on the birch JOo. nml on the
elm SO. direful analysis of the
stomachs of thousands of wood-
peckora , titmice , creepers , kinglets ,
wood wnrbloru , wrcne , ily-calchers ,
swallows , nut hatches and other
birds of the woods show that their
constant labor is to consume just
these devastating insects.
Replanted Corn.
On account of the ravages of the
cut worms , many of the farmets of
this county were compelled to re
plant almost all of their fust plant
ing corn. The amount destroyed
by the cut worms was the cause of
a heavy loss as well as delay.

Relic of the Cliase.
While ditching on the Wilkin
son farm , south of the city , on
Tuesday , a man named Cox found
the part of a spearhead made of
Hint that had been used by an
Indian in the chase many years
ago. The perfect proportions of
the spearhead indicated that the
aboriginal armorer who had made
it was tin expert , for the reason' '
that the weapon had been so deli
cately rilled that it would keep its
direction and poise when hurled
through the air.
It is not possible that the spear
head had been lost in a fight but
that it had been thrown ntn buf
falo in the chase , for those who
are well acquainted with the In
dian methods of warfare say that
they seldom had their battles on
tne open plains. The Hint of which
the arrow was fashioned is ot a
kind that in rarely found in this
section , most of the arro'w heads ,
spear points and fleshers being
made of the blue flint. Auburn
Republican.
Boys who go swimming should
remember that if they will keep
the water out of their mouths they
cannot sink. The air in a boy's
lungs will keep him afloat if he
will keep the water out of his
mouth. Boys should always re
member that there is very little
danger in the water if they will
only keep cool ; the power a woman
uses in swinging a fan is sulh'eient
to keep a boy aUoat. Too many
boys when they go swimming )
work their arms and legs with
great vigor. This is unnecessary.
A boy swims almost as naturally
asa duck , if ho will keep cool. If
a big boy throws a little one in , nil
the little ono has to do is to hold
his breath and close his mouth ,
and ho will come to the surface
like a cork. Atchison Globe.
A Small Engine.

in the world weighs 12 grains and
15 drops of water fills its boiler.

Denpito the fact that it could be

Kansas Luck.
"When Kansas was born she
butted I right into hard luck , " de
clares the Lawrence Gazette ,
which brings an array of proof
in support of its statement. The
war cyclone had its center here ,
and then there came the grass
hoppers and the year ot crop
failures. Then there was a
dearth ol corn in the nation and
Kansas took the contract lor
supplying the demand. So well
was the job done that the corn
could not be sold and had to be
used for fuel. From a dollar a
bushel it went down to eight
cents , and Kansas fields were
covered with unsaleable piles of
it. Then wheat went away up
and Kansas took a contract to
furnish wheat for all men. She
broke the records of the world
with her crops , but instead of
getting a dollar a bushel the
price went down to thirty cents
which would not pay the cost of
production. Then Kansas
changed her tactics and went
into practical politics. The
Populist wave buried the state
and immediately political stock
went down until the common ,
wealth went broke on that com
modity. ' Then all at once some
thing new happened. Oil from
the earth was worth millions to
the people w ho had it. Kansas
dug down and found unlimited
quantities. The wealth of Ophir
was at our leet. Thousands of
wells went down and millions of
barrels of oil came bubbling up.
At once the price of oil went
down until a barrel of it was
worth less than a barrel of
water at harvest time. The gas
too which cost millions to people
ple , in other states and commu
nities , was found only to be
turned loose to poison the at
mosphere and wreck the hopes
of those who found it. As a
discoverer , Kansas is a hoodoo.
If we should find gold in virgin
purity that could be mined by
the ton , gold would at once be
demonstrated and sold as leaden
on the market. If a cave of
diamonds should be discovered ,
diamonds would be used for
.laving stones and be sold by
the ton. Kansas id original , but
icr originality has never bought
inything for her save advertis-
ng space.
A Heavy Rain.
The hardest rain and hail
storm for years occurred in this
vicinity Wednesday night of
this week. Newly planted corn
and Iruit suffered terribly from
the effects. Many corn fields
will have to be entirely replant
ed , in some places plum trees
and other fruit trees are entirely
denuded of their fruit. It is to
be hoped that a close investiga
tion will not make it as destruc
tive as it now appears. Dawson -

derous love in this poetical fashion :
"Come live with me and be my

dove ; ' 'and I'll caresa your aching
brow , and you will ne'er forget
your vow ; and I will kiss your lips
and eyes , and I will make you
pumpkin pies , and if such things
your heart may move , then live
with me and be my love. I have
a sunny upland farm , where we
may live secure from harm : and
in the fertile garden spot , my
friends may rest and sleep a lot ;
and should my love oppress your
heart , I'll gently saw you all apart ,
and plant you there , with sod

love. Beside the barn your bones
may rest , until the coroner holds
his quest ; and o'er your farm I'll
plant the seed of cocklebur and
jinison weeds ; so bring your money

with my soul ; and if these things
enticing prove , then live with me
and bo my love. "
Falls City is talking paving. It
is just as easy to have paving as
not to have it. The paving tax
could cover a number of years and
wouldn't need to exceed $10 or $15
i year to each property holder and
he result would be beautifully
