WEerc Do Flies Go id Winter?
Curious Facts.
In building a fence around our
young orchards, says the New Or
leans Picayune,; several years ago
we trigd many plans for preserving
the posts. Having occasion to re
move the fence this winter, we no
ticed the condition of the posts as
follows: Those set with no prep
aration were decayed an inch or
more in thickness; those coated
with a thick wash of lime were
better preserved, 1 but were quite
seriously attacked by worms; those
posts coated with hot tar \ were as
perfectly sound as. when put in
the ground; those painted with pe
troleum and kerosene were equally
as sound ‘and as good for setting.
Let the posts get thoroughly dry,
and then* with a pan of cheap ker
osene and a. white wash brush, give
the lower third = of the post, the
part to go into ground, two or
three applications of the oil, Jetting
it soak in well each time. Posts
so treated will ngt be, troubled
by worms or- insects of any kind,
but will resist to a remarkable de
gree. This we find to be the
simplest, easiest, cheapest and best
method of preservation.

“It is so sudden, Mr. Darnelle.”
“I know it is,” the young man
responded gently.
He stood before her with his
weight resting easily on ope foot,
his left elbow on the mantel-piece,
his right arm behind him,, and his
whole attitude one of careless, un

only by long and patient prac
tice.
“I know it is,” he repeated.
“Measured by the ordinary stand

8:25 o’clock last night neither of

Yet with the heart one day is as a

he went on, in his cultivated,
B-flat baritone voice, “if we' had

together for a dozen seasons?

“I will not attempt to deny, Mr.

||EING members of the “WHOLESALE GROCERS’ NATIONAL
Grown-up twins are a. curiosity,
although over 100 pairs of them
were born ; In Philadelyhia last
year. The records show that the
number of twins is exactly 222,
which is a falling off as compared
with the record of 1886, when 229
twins were born within the city
limits. These figures indicate
that Philadelphia is far behind in
the twin race, says the Record, and
that the state metropolis cannot
hold a candle to the little village
of North . Wales. One pair of
twins to each 5,000 inhabitants is
the best that this city has done,
while North Wales has a record of
six pail’s of twins born in eight
months, and there are less than
1,000 residents in the village.
Last year, in addition ; ,to the 225
twins born in the city, six triplets
were born—three in February and
three hr March.
For somg, reason which the city
records do hot attempt..to*explain,
and which puzzles;tke doctors, the
months of May and July are the
most prolific twin months. In
May of last year, 46 twins—23
pairs oStkem—made their appear
ance, and in July 26 pairs were
born. In May, 1886, there were
31 pairs of twins born, and in Ju-
lv 22 pairs.
“Twins are more apt to die than
other babies; ” said a prominent
physician,, “and triplets seldom
grow to an adult age. This is one
reason why grown-up twins are so
seldom found, although twins are
often born.”
small ones occasionally observed
being different in kind from the
larger ones. The house fly does
not bite or pierce the skin, but
gathers its food by a comb or rake
or brush-like tongue, with [which
it is able to scrape [ the varnish
from book covers, and thus it
tickles the skiq of a person -upon
whom it alights'to feed upon,,the
perspiration. The fly is a scaven
ger and is a vehicle by which con
tagious diseases are spread. It
poisons wounds, and £may - carry
deadly virus from'deeaying'organ-
ic matter into food. It retires
from the sight at the beginning of
the winter, but where if;[goe3 few
persons know. If a search of the
house be made .they, will be, found
in great numbers'secreted in [warm
places in the roof or between the
partitions or floors. Last [winter
we had occasion to examine a roof,
and found ; around the ckininey
myriads of flies hibernating com
fortably, and sufficiantly lively to
fly in “overwhelming clouds” when
disturbed. No doubt this is a fa
vorite winter resort forjtkese crea
tures.

An authority on laughter says
in the New York, Sun: It has
been observed that laughter is in
dicative of a particular temper
and character, according to the
sound of-the vowel that prevails
in cachination. Persons that'
laugh in a broad Latin “A” are
open-hearted, [honest people, fond
of noisy jocundity, but perhaps of
voluble mood. Excessive jerking
laughter, however, i.3 ah evidence
of vulgarity. Those laughing in a
dry “A” are respectable, but little
expansive, an<jl a hard lot of peo
ple. When the latin “E” prevails,
there prevails also a phlegmatic,
melancholy temper. Timorous,
unsteady people, also* those im T
bned with malignity, laugh in a
kind of swelling “I.” Laughter
in “O” is the utterance jjof proud,
bold, imperative, somewhat ban
tering people. Beware of those
that laugh in “oo” (h). They are
traitors, haters, scorners.

has already gathered from 35 acres
of land 26 bales of cotton -and will
get two more. 28 bales from 35
acres is good farming. This 35
acres was originally thin land that
would ndt have produced more
than a bale to three acres, but by
the use of manures he now gets
more than double that amount.
