fOlCkS.-fOet6 are DOrn, not maue.
We start out with this undeniable prop
osition because we don't want any one
10 contradict it. They are born oltener
at Buckhannon, this State, and survive
longer than anywhere else in the world.
The Buckhannon Delta comes to US
weekly. It brings every time at least
slop-bucketfuf Of poetry, and not
poetry Of your Jim Bludso school either.
No, no, none Of your sensational poetry
for Buckhannon. 1t is as placid as
boarding house cup Of tea after the tea
pot has been filled four times with hot
water Itappeals to the better nature.
1t is descriptive, too. When Buck
harmon poet tackles descriptive poetry,
then he, she or it is at home. Then
the Buckhannon poet takes hold and
growls and gnashes his teeth and
shakes his subject like bull-pup tug
ging at bone.
The last number OF the Delta brings
US a poem Of this high style OF archi-
lecture. We append the first verse.
Observe with what distinctness it is
stated that there was snow on the
ground. Aud it was wet snow, too. 1t
hadn't been picked up and put away in
an oven to dry. Not by any means. 1t
was wet. So was the ground. Observe;
Oh! say dnst thou remember,
The time when last we met,
A dreary day In winter
The ground with snow was wet:
Now in the second verse the reason
for the startling distinctness with which
this wet snow is painted is given. There
was a "feller" kneeling at cloves own
shrine" II ever we 90 to Buckhaunon
we must stop and take a kneel at that
shrine. Where else is happiness to be
found except in kneeling at "love's own
shrine" Its rough on the clothes. but
soothing to the feelings. But here's the
second verse:
Oh say, dost thou remember
Those chilling words OF thine;
When with lovers meekne.s
You knelt at loves own shrine?
We don't think the second verse has
been as carefully studied as the first.
The quotation about "dost" should not
come so soon after the line referring to
the wet ground. The ground being wet
with snow, dust was simply impossible.
Then the cold weather and those Chill
ing words" were calculated to freeze
things around "love's own shrine" and
the poor fellow couldn't "dost" if he
wanted to.
Taking a broad guage view OF the
limited income Of country newspaper,
and the want OF extraordinary fertility
of the soil round about Buckhanron,
We are convinced that there is the home
Of poets and the permanent abiding
place Of poesy. Pegasus stable is
there or thereabouts.

q Temperance Lecture,

A man died in Worcester, Mass, the
other day, whose career ought to be for
young men the most efectual of tenn
perance lectures. Twelve years ago he
was a young lawyer in Connecticut. OF
uncommon abilities and brilliant promise.
He entered the army and rose To the
rank of Colonel, but became addicted to
drink, and rapidly sank to the grade OF
a common drunkard. While intoxicated
one night, in low den in this city, he
was " shanghaed " aboard bark bound
for China. The vessel was wrecked of
st. Helena, and he with several others,
were rescued and taken to Cape Town.
Here, while engaged in debauch, he
was arrested and imprisoned and after
wards hired to a German farmer, where
he worked with the Hottentots. Esca-
ping be shipped on a trading vessel
through the Straits of Madagascar, where
he deserted and lived some time among
the natives of the island. Narrowly es-
Gaping murder, he afterwards put to sea
In an open boat, was picked up and
taken to Cape town, and then to Singa-
pore. For several years he wandered
about in China and Japan, poor drunk
en- vagabopd, finally landing in San
Francisco in state of beggary, and
made his way across the continent. His
friends heard of him as bartender in a
miserable saloon in Elizabeth, n. s.,
sick and broken down, and took him
home to die, a worn out debauchee at
the age of Sc.

Microscopic Worms.

Some time ago, Assistant Surgeon
Lewis, of the British Army, having been
assigned to special duty under the SAM
tary Commission for the Government of
India, in examining the urine and blood
of certain patients, discovered the pres
ence of living. active worms, hitherto
unobserved. These worms are 1-75 of
an inch in length, and they have trans
verse diameter of 1850 of an inch
They are so numerous as to be found in
blood drawn from any part of the body,
and SO persistent that they may exist in
the system for months or years without
any marked evil consequences being OBJ
served. 1t is said, however, that they
may give rise to serious diseases, and Ill
timately cause death. These worms APP
pear, through the microscope, like in
completely developed snakes they move
incesantly, coiling and uncoiling them
selves, and rush about among the blood
corpuscles in all directions. They do
not appear to exist anywhere but in the
blood and urine.

Active Principle of vaccine virs ,.

The vaccine matter, or virus, contains,
in an albuminous fluid, different forma-
tions, among which very small micsros-
copic grains are conspicuous. Messrs
Chauveau and Keber consider these as
the very carriers of the vaccine matter.
Mr.. Ferdinand Cohn was offered an OPP
portunity to examine the subject more
closely, and makes the following report
| these grains, perceived by all observers,
constituent parts of the virus, Or acciden-
tai admixtures? Experiments instituted
with all possible precautions led to the
conclusion that they exist in the freshest
virus, and have to be considered as con-
stituents. These globular corpuscles fill
the vaccine matter quite equally. They
are without spontaneous motion, but
show molecular motion. Their size could
not be ascertained accurately, being be-
yond our present means Of microscopical
nacaeuroment, but is certainly less than
000l Of a millimeser-perhaps one half
or three quarters of it. At first they are
mostly single, rarely in pairs, but increase
rapidly in number when the observation
bis continued for some time with proper
precautions They form entire rows,
and, after some hours, irregularly con-
nected groups. This extremely rapid
and uninterrupted augmentation proceeds
from cross-division of the cells. From
these observations Mr. Cohn considers
the corpuscles of the virus as living,
independent organisms, belonging to the
class of schizomycet@, which, as the
smallest and simplest of all organisms
multiply only by the division of cells.
In conclusion, Mr.. Cohn discusses the
question whether these corpuscles are in
fact the carriers of the contagion, and
comes to the conclusion that this is high
ly probable, yet not definitely decided.
He inclines, however, to modification
of this statement, viz. he would consider
them rather as originators than carriers.
in SO far as he believes them to act as
ferment upon the liquid constituents of
the virus, which. becoming decomposed,
show their poisonous effect when received
into the circulation of the, blood. Mr..
Cohn promises to test his hypothesis
ezperimes tally, and to communicate the
results. -EDIToR s SCIENTIFIC RECORD,

SCIENCE FOR THE LADIES.
Scratching New i'm Sfarch--0ne Dress
Made to Serve for Half n Dozen.

Inc Scieutino AuIerivspn says ID is not
often that we find scientific items of any
especial degree of interest to the mem
bers of the fair sex, who may, perchance,
glance over our pages: but we now be-
heve we have got one which is simply
absorbing. Probably Madame Or Miss,
you are the possessor of summer dress,
made from some white diaphaneous ma
terial and it may also be imagined that
during your shopping you have inspect
ed goods of similar nature, only of
varying colors, from which you have
purchased sufficient materials to con-
struct number of those bewildering
garments in comparison with the intri-
cacies of which the most elaborate works
of modern engineering furnish no paral-
lei. Now, a learned German professor
has invented a plan whereby your single
White dress may be changed as often as
you desire to any color yop may fancy,
and this in your own laundry, so that
hereafter the money which you would
devote to several robes of varying hues
may be entirely saved, while you may
appear daily, if you choose, in toilets of
totally different complexion. The pro-
cess is very simple, and consists in mere
ly coloring the starch in the ''doing up
Suppose a white dress is to be tinteda
beautiful crimson Three parts of fuch-
sin, an analine color which any chemist
can readily procure for You, are dissolved
in twenty parts of glycerine, and mixed
with little water. Then ordinary starch,
finely pulverized, is stirred in, and the
thick mass obtained is poured out and
dried on blotting paper. The powder
thus obtained is used Just the same as
common starch, and so applied to the
fabric. When the latter is dry it is slight
ly sprinkled and pressed with moder-
ately warm iron. By means of other
coloreing materials, mixed as above de-
scribed, any desired tint may be obtain
ed. We should counsel, however. an
avoidance of damp localities, and strong
ly deprecate going out in the rain with
it, as we doubt the ffastness" of the dye,
and would not be at all surprised to be-
hold the garments shortly assume rath-
er streaked and zebra-ike appearance.
