DOWN THE SOCIAL LADDER,
Women Hold Their Heads bove Troubled
Waters Longer Than Men.
Walter Besant,

Everybody knows the WY up the so
cial ladder. Il has been shown to those
below by millions of twinkling feet. 1t
is broad ladder, up which people are
always climblng-some slo sly, some
quickly. From corduroy to
brosdcloth; from workshop to
counter; from shop-boy to master; from
shop to office; from trade to profession |;
from the bedroom over the shop to the
great country villa. The way up is
known to everybody. But there is an
other way which we seldom regard; 1t is
the wsy down again. The Family Rise is
the commouest phenomenon.
Is not the name legion Of those OF whom
men say, partly with the pride OF connect
ing themselves with greatness, partly
with the natural desire which email men
always show to tear away something OF
that greatness, "Why, knew him when
his father had that shop" The family
fall is less conspicuous. Yet there are
always as many going down as climbing
up. You can not, in fact, stay still.
You must either climb or slide down.
Novelist do lot, as rule, treat of the
sinking back, because 1t is depressing
subject. There are many ways of falling
Mostly the father makes an sss Of him
self in the way of business or specula-
ton, or he dies too soon, or his sons pos
sess none OF their fathers ability, OF
they take to drink. Anyhow, down
goes the family; at first slowly, but
With ever increasing rapidly back to its
original level. But the most reluctant to
go down, those who cling most tightly to
the socisl level which they think they
have reached, are the daughters; so that
when misfortune fall upon them they are
ready to deny themst Ives everything
rather than lose the social dignity which
they think belongs to them.

DANGER FROM MICROBES.

a large audience, composed principally
of women, assembled in the lecture room
OF Assoc ation hall, Fifteenth and Chest

HiFst. TITS was the uilih and last Of the
series unoer the auspices Of the Pnil.del-
phis Bssrch Of the Red Cross SJciety.
Dr.. Hirst said the microscope Of &
power to increase oojecis s Thousand
fold would be required to distinguish
disease germ, aud the number OF germs
could not be told. 1t has been domon-
strsted that one singla germ or mIcrobe
inocus,ed into person will, in few
minutes, multiply with Incredible rapid
ilY. The germ breeds every second, aud
course of an hour millions have been
known to be born.
u To know something about the germs
that causes the infectious diseases, such
as smallpox. typhoid fever, diphtneria,
yellow fever and all other contagious
diseases, We must look for different
germ for each disease, which has lts own
peculiar and different germ. Though
they resemble each other in appearance
sud In their manner OF work, they are
very hard to distinguish sp4rt, and this
csn Only be doae bV q competent chemist.
There are very few families that have
not felt, with sorrow, the power OF these
dreadful microbes, and no matter how
much cleanliness is preserved, there is
always danger. Ali infectious diseases
originate from these small microbes.
Tneiaction OF 8 germ is usually tbs
same. Tley enter the BODY through
cut, the nose, the mir We breathe aud the
water we drink. They go until they
reach the right SIDE OF the heart. Here
they are halted for 8 time, but gradually
f1rce t1eir w.y through to the lungs,
They continue and enter the i1tsst;neS,
next then the spleen, from there into the
blood vessels and then clear path to the
heart, which soon forces them through

of "Crambo" was really surprising to
one familiar with the persons present
The atmosphere actually seemed thick

realized that they were fast losing

would soon pass into "innocuous de-
