The Fly.

“Where on earth do those fli&s come from?” is a frequent and despairing question. How do flies get Into the house? They may come down the chimneys, if the fireplaoes have tipping dampers, These should be tightly closed in flytime. An appreciable falling off In their number will be the result If the chimneys have not the tipping damper, a screen such as is used for a window can be fitted into the fireplace; or easier still, a bundle of paper may be stuffed up the chimney. Either method is successful, and no trouble is too great to get rid of these summer peats.

Scald one pint of milk, add one tablespoonful of flour blended with a little cold milk and stir until slightly thickened, then cover and cook for three-quarters of an hour. Add one cupful and a half of sugar beaten thoroughly with three eggs add stir until again slightly thickened, then strain and chill. Add one pint of heavy cream and one cupful or more of any kind of pulped fruit; when a very acid sort, such as currant, is cvhosen, increase the quality of sugar by a cupful or more, according to the acidity of the firult Freeze at once.
