F tho diidcra, or two wlnffed in-(i, th common house fly , la jirobnlily tlio best 'rj ' known, for It' Is found wher ever man- tnnkes his home. This last fiu-t Is so well niithcntlcntcd thnt were a rovlriff crew of somo vessel to find the domestic lly on sonic newly discov ered inland In mldoccdn they would he sao In concluding thnt the Island was then Inhabited liy human beings or that It bad been so Inhabited at no very distant period. In splto of thl fact, but comparatively few persons ever pay nuy attention to this little domestic pest except to dcvlso aomn means of ridding themselves of Its presence In their homes. If very atrous creen tea be well sweetened, fllea will sin It with avidity, and it is a sure poison to them, but good fcreaiiH nnd nlwolnte cleanliness oro the surest preventives. Despite. Its lielng seemlnKly an "un mitigated nuisance," the fly Is a very Interesting littlo creature when stud led. The liody is divided by well ninrked constrictions Into head, thorax and abdomen. The head Is large and is supplied with two very laree com pound eyes, made up of alxiut 8,000 simple eyes, or ocelli. Resides these compound eyes, it has three simple eyes nliove nnd between the other. The mouth is only a littlo tube or pro boscis, which Is lient backward under the iHMly when not in use. There is a fleshy, tonguelike organ, ending In two soft. Hat organs somewhat rough on the under surface, and It Is these which tickle the top of a bald bend or other exposed spot when the lly licks the surface to obtain the matter thrown out through the pores of the skin. There are also two rather short nn tennre, or fivlers, three-Jointed and having feathery ends. To the thorax are ntrnched the two wings and six blender legs. The wings nre trans parent and lire moved very raphlly in tliL-ht. alMiut twice us rapidly as the wings of n lice and forty times ns fast as those of the butterfly, or between ::m nnd -In times a Sit-nnd. The feet have two cliiwa facing each other, and between these are two soft pads covered Willi baliiike tulicfl which ae- creie a sin ty num. 'j ne claws en able tliem to hold firmly to rough sur faces, and the sticky secretion to smooth surfaces, though some authors contend that nlr pressure rather thon ndliesion is the force thnt enables the fly to walk back downward on a smool'i surface nnd others that the two forces act together. The fly. like other Insects, docs not breathe through the mouth, but through little hob's In the surface of the bodv. These nre called spiracles nnd nre so guarded by interlacing fibers that for eign mntter ennnot enter. The spiracles open Into little tulics, which nre kept i fnfitn .lli i,alti lit bhImI springs, nnd sumo of them lead to lit tle nir sncks or rudimentary lungs, while others ramify and arc distributed to nil pnrts of the body, even the mem branous wings.' where they nre easily trnceii What we sec In the wings, however, nre blood vessels, eai-li hav ing a stil! smnller air tube Inside of it, so that the blood is aerated while cir culating through the system. Tho egg of tho houso fly nre laid in dung nnd soon hatch into littlo mag gots, which feed uism the organic mat ter surrounding them and grow very rapidly. In fact, the entire growth of the insict Is made during this stage of Its existence. This accounts for the fact that the house flies which we ace are nearly nil of tho same size. Of course wo see small flies and largo flies, but they nre not of tho same species. Flics live on liquid food, which they lap up with the fleshy tongue. They are very fond of sweet things, which, when found lu a solid state like sugar, they dissolve with their own saliva and then lip up the sirupy fluid. A few flics manage to get Into some place where they survive the rijror of our winters, and it la thought thnt these are the progenitors of the swnrms that nnoy us the following summer. It it iNMwible, however, that aonie of the Uiuggota, or aoinc of the pnp:e, live through the winter and assist la the propagation of the six-clea. The house lly has a body aliout three- eighths of an inch long. The uuiggota grow to a littlo more than that length. The 1'orllanil Oregonian has word in disftiroval of corltiiu citizens who object to the construction of street-car line la front of their rewl deuces. The rebuke U expretMod with milditesH, and might have been more sovere and yet fully deserved The Hsine spirit that would (or Inula th purpose hamper the cotwlruc I tioo of a tiaiiiit line would fctanri in the way of any Improvement. The man whose hou-ie U so situated that he does not require the aervleea of a street-ear, and who begrudges to people who live beyond him the uie and then tho soft white skin hardens of m vehicle, that may lie almost and changes to a very light brown col- indesieuHible, forgela that he la hut or.

Tacorem Its proboscis is longer and moro alen- kw'ler' der, and it la not quite so large. It Is known as tho stable fly. It is a wicked littlo creature and torments animals most cruelly by its piercing bite, for by the aid of littlo lancets much finer than a needle point It will penetrate their thick skins and cause a smarting puln. It frequently attacks mankind and will immediately return to the at Tragedy Arrrtrd.

Is very prolific, so much so that a single female will produce 20,000 larvrn. each of which will, under fa vornble circumstances, increase lu weight two hundred fold In twenty- four hours, we can easily see how the nliove statement may lie true. Few fully realize how much we owe to In eecla for devouring dccnylng auiinn matter. In this order of Insects (dip tern) the one most Injurious to man from a Hcunlary point of view Is prob ably the Hessian fly. This fly. though very small, does an Immense amount of damage to the wheat crop of the t lilted Mates annually, some years ucstroying ninny millions of dollars' worth. Nor Is this nil, for rye and nancy are also much Injured by it j ue ootiy or this little fly Is not more than one-tenth of an Inch long. and Its nlslonien Is nhout two-thirds of that length. The legs and the many jointed feelers, surrounded by whorls or snort hairs, are long and slender. The wings are almost without veins. The balancers two little roils with knobs on the outer ends situated Just oncit or the wings, are very prominent, considering the size of the insect. In form It resembles the crane fly, which iooks so much like a gigantic mosnulto. The specific nnmo of the Hessian fly is destructor. It lays nlsiut twenty eggs lir the crease of the wheat leaf over the midrib when the plant Is only i few Inches In height These are hatch cd in about a week into little footless mnggots, which crawl down the leaf Into tho sheath around the stalk and there live on the juices of the plant Two or three of these mnggots will suck tho life out of a wheat plant and it soon withers and dies.

I bad no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I bad never tried it for such a purpom, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it lo not only be of less duration, but I bo pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr Urip had bid me adieu."

Going to Biggs Sunday, the Colum bia Southern R.R: train was literally packed with passengers, and an extra Great Northern tourist car was utiliz ed for the accomodation of the Wasco Dramatic club, returning from Moro. Coming up tho train was equally crowded, by half a hundred timber grabber from Minnesota. , It Is safe to estimate that 4,000 people have reached Oregon the past 30 days, from the bleak middle west. This number will increase rather than diiiiish, and it might not lie an extra vagant estimate to count on the addi tion t'i Oregon's KipuIation, by , immigration alone, during the next two years, of 75,000 people, and the number niBy excred this. .Some of these people are woefully homesick. They who expect to find farms for the taking, with houses built and beds made up for them, free, can't help it. People who have a foot hold here and are doing anything for themselves, are all right and Ihere is room, In wide, rich Oregon, for tens of thousands more, and will be room and opportunity for many years lo come, but they must put up or dig for if.
