The squatter's Daughter.

'Light and look at yer saddle" said
the squatter's daughter, as man stop
ped at tho fence. The man who had
been several weeks in the neighborhood,
and who had become so we'll acquaint-
ed with the girl that her handsome
face was ever before him, advanced to
where she was sitting, and lingeringly
shook the hand which she extended
him:
"How are you, EmilyP"
"Fust rate; never felt better nor had
less"
"Where's all tho folks?"

house, MANS gone to quiltin'. Bob 8

himself in the doorway, don't you

''You are mistaken. Education ac-

An Old Mans Plant

Most everybody is dead. That is, all
the old folks. There are mighty few
left of the old stock that used TO move
around SO lively and take the lead in
business and public affairs Some of us
are getting lonesome now. The ranks
keep filling up, but we don't know the
new recruits. Old Father Time is a
conscript officer and he won't take ary
substitutes nor give anybody bomb
proof place. There are no quarter
masters nor commissaries nor potash
getters in this war. but it is fight,
fight, fight all the time. Fight as they
did at Tbermopyl1 where there were
only 800 against LOCO, 600. and there
was no possible escape. Sooner or
later all OF us have got to go. We csn't
desert nor dodge nor play sick nor
shoot a finger off, and there are no fur
loughs and no pensions and no dis
charge. There is not even a promotion
for good conduct or noble daring.
There is nothing but to do and die
Well. it's all right, know or it would
not have been 30, but it grieves me to
hear the bell tolling all about and to see
the old stock passing away.-BM Arp,
in Atlanta Constitution.

A Vicious Bird.

The Denver NeUS says that Colonel
Wilson E. Sisty, Fisl. Commissioner OF
Colorado, while visiting the state fish
hatchery, nine miles down the Platte,
observed a huge blue heron preying up
on young fish in the boxes Colonel
Sisty had frequently seen the bird en-
gagged in this before, but it had invari-
ably flown upon his approach. Yester-
day the heron, instead of taking alarm,
appeared to become greatly enraged at
the interruption, and, with outstretched
wings, rushed at Colonel Sisty. The
bird stood fully as high as Colonel Sisty,
who is slightly over five feet two inches
and was of great swiftness of move
ment as well as considerable strength
1t used its head and neck with light
ning-like rapidity, striking steadily for
the Colonel's face. He was unable to
more than protect his eyes for some lit
tie time, so fierce was its attack and the
blows rained upon his hands in protect
ing his face left them bleeding badly
His face was also cut in places. After
the first surprise Colonel Sisty prepared
to assume the Offensive. Protecting his
face with his hat, he rushed in upon the
huge heron, and, seizing it by the body,
threw it to the ground. Then kneeling
upon it, he clasped it by the throat un-
til life was extinct. Colonel Sistv,
though suffering considerably from loss
of blood, managed to carry the bird to
his buggy. in which he brought it to
town. The body of the bird was last
evening turned over to a taxidermist,
who will prepare it for exhibition at the
hatchery. Colonel Sisty's wounds were
dressed by DIR. Lemen. who pronounced
them painful but not dangerous. Col
onel Sisty is of the opinion that the bird
must have its nest in the vicinity of the
hatchery, and that the attack was made
in defense of its young, as he never
knew bird of this kind before to show
fight.

What is the Germ-Theory of Disease

Scourges of the human race and dis
eases are attributed by savages to the
influence of evil spirits. Extremes Of
ten meet. What human Intelligence
suspected in its first dawn has been veri-
fled by human Intelligence in its highest
development. Again, we have come to
the belief of evil spirits in disease, but
these dostroyers have now assumed a
tangible shape. Instead of the mere
passive, unwilling efforts with which
we have hitherto resisted them, we now
begin to fight them in their own domain
with all the resources of our intellect.
For they are no longer invisible creatures
of our own imagination, but with that
omnipotent instrument, the microscope,
we can see and identify them rs living
beings, of dimensions on the present
verge of visibility. The study of these
minute foes constitute the germ-theOry.
This germ-theory of disease is rising
to such importance in medical discus
sions that it cannot be ignored by that
part of the laity who aspire to fair
general information. For it has sub
stituted tangible reality for idle specu-
lation and superstition so current for
merly in the branch of medical science
IreaIlnS OF inc causes OF disease. For
merly-that is, within period scarce
ly over now-the first cause invoked to
explain the origin of many diseases was
the vague and much-abusod bugbear
'cold." When that failed, obscure
chemical changes, of which no one
knew anything definitely, or "impuri-
ties of the blood" term of similar
accuracy and convenience, we're ac-
cused, while with regard to contagious
diseases medical ignorance concealed
itself by the invocation of a "genus
epidemicus." The germ-theory, as far
as it is applicable, does away with all
these obscurities. 1t points out the
way to investigate the causes of disease
with the same spirit of inquiry with
which we investigate all other occur
rences in nature. In the light of germ
theory, disease is struggle for eris-
te'ace betaoeen the parts of the Organism
and some parasite inUddinq it. From
this point of view, diseases become
part of the Darwinian programme of
nature.-Professor Cradle, IN Popular
Science MONTHLY for SeDteuber.

The Tabernacle, the Rev. Mr.. Spur

accommodate 5000 persons. Although
it is out of London proper, in a part
called Newington, and must be reached
by train or a long horse-car Journey, il

must be obtained from one of the dea-

to contribute a small donation. before

James Floyd, the breaking OF
whose arm was mentioned In yester-
day'e GAZETTE, could not be found by
the reporter Monday, and no one
knowing of the fracture could tell OF
the circumstances. Mr.. Floyd was
naturally reticcnt about the matter, rs
he is a mod 81 man and does not court
notoriety as "A shining example OF any
scientific phenomenon, Yesterday,
however, when seen aud questioned
about the matter gave full account OF
the accident that resulted in the
fracture OF his arm. He Is IA plasterer
by trade, and had been working
Saturday in light place down
near the river On the premises
VIE u high plank fence directly in
front Of where he worked. Saturday
night he slept uncnsily ana toward
morning had very unpleasant dream.
He was again at his work, but 1t be-
came necessary for him to climb that
high fence before him. He managed
tO get to the top without any trouble

and IL seemed almost Impossible To
reach the ground on the other side, on
account Of its distance. He clutchcd
the top, however and let himself down
To his full length. He found himself
several feet above the ground, but con
cluded TO risk drop, and let go.
But instead of having been on high
fence he had actually climbed out the
second story OF the house from his
room, and while In the somnambu-
listic dropped twenty-one feet to the
the ground. He awoke with Ia prickiug
sensation in his arm, and crept up
stairs TO his room in considerable
pain. He afterwards went 10 the
physicians Drs Daniel 81 Brooks and
had his arm set. Floyd often walks
in his sleep, but this Is his first feat
