all styles of human dwellings of all times,
from the cave and brush and bari; hut to the
palace, are in good form, and the "restau-
rants of all ages" are comically complete.
On these last the Partisan satirists have
turned themselves loose, though the CORE
spondents indicate that their widest carica-
lures scarcely surpass the facts. L1llustra-
ton, che illustrated paper, gives a series of
views from the first full meal recorded in
history" that of Adam and Eve down to the
wild Indian dining at the Vienna cafe. In
the prehistoric Restaurant" the waiter is
dressed to represent the original man of the
"Stone Age" and the Partisan exquisites who
dine in the cave consider him "howling sue
cess" The mammoth tun of champagne,
which required twelve oxen to draw it into
the grounds, is always surrounded by Curl
Gus crowd, and the choice Epernay flows in
an almost continuous stream for the thirsty
and curious.
Similarly the local customs Of various ma
tions and races are wonderfully well repre-
sented. In the Algerian department sits a
Kabyle girl spinning in the same primitive
fashion the Orientals have kept up for 1000
years, and by her sits an Arab boy in the
same costume, no doubt, as was worn by
young Ishmael when he played at the feet of
the spinning Hagar. The woman of the
Soudan works in native products, the wild
Australians make and sell boomerangs
the Turks fabricate many delicate textures
of leather and wool, a few Anne, leans are
there to exhibit the telephone and many
other proofs of the subtlety of American
genius. And the music and dancing of near
ly all nations is equally well represented in
various pavilions.
In machinery, however, the exposition is
as yet poor affair, and the French made al
most failure of their part of it. The ele-
vator for the Eiffel tower is being put in by
an American, and the working of the colored
fountain display was finally intrusted to an
Englishman The gathering of soldiers from
the semi-civilized nations is unique and Won
derfully varied, the French, of course, taking
most interest in and giving to the world the
best pictures of those in their own possessions
or with whom they have close relations. To
the American mind there is something lu-
dicrous in these French soldiers, with black
faces and woollY hair, and the 'Cavalryman

cesses and failures. 1t Is agreed at the start
that the ''grand opening" by President Car
not was little more than farce. Even the
French soldiers in ranks on that occasion
could not repress their smiles and sneers.
n. Sadi- Carnot is far from being an impos-
ing figure. His duty ON that historic date
and eventful day was to typify something,
to personify a grand idea-and he couldn't.
His progress was on a plan all his own-to
strike medium between gorgeous royal or
imperial equipage and plain republican SIM
plicity; it therefore combined the absurdi-
ties of both and was ten fold more ridiculous
than either.
The point that impresses every one is the
immense size of the affair. Warned by the
crowded condition in 1867 and in again in
1878, the managers this year gave up the idea
Of symmetrical inclosure, and so the boun-
diaries wind in and out on both sides of the
Seine, and the antenne of the exposition, SO
to speak, stretch into quiet quarters long
ways from the Champ de Mars, and strangers
ignorant of the city often leave the grounds
and 60 along street, which they suppose is
leading them directly from it, only to come
square upon another section Of it. There is
a vast amount Of walking to do, and delicate
visitors who can afford it have themselves
wheeled about in regular invalids' chairs.
There are three miles of outdoor walks pro-
tected by awnings, and many more not
protected. The grounds take in the whole
Quai d'Orsay and a large section OF
the left bank of the Seine, all the
bridge of Jena and all the Trocadero

THE "wILD AND wooLLY'i WEES

SOhetLuIco SuIluk, as lEOn req lOJ iron,
when this kindness" happens to touch
"galled spot but in that case they are
very sensitive" or real cranky or Jaw
fully eXacting,' or better go back east if
they don't like our west" Nevertheless,
kindness is KINDNESS and not to be spurned
whatever its manifestation.
To Illustrate: A woman once died in the
town of Buena Vista, Colo She was the
mother of four or five children, and the en-
tire family lived in two small rooms and
drank the dregs of prosaic and repulsive
poverty. The woman died suddenly and died
in red flannel underwear, that seemed to
make death more hideous.
Nothing in her surroundings but the chill
dren suggested anything not simply repul,
sive.
MotherleSsness, however, is always pa
thetic, and when the husband and father at
tempted to kill himself the sympathies of
the entire community were aroused and the
little hut was packed with sympathetic
neighbOrS and friends anxious to render the
last hOnOrs to the dead and the first offices Of
kindness to the living. The funeral sermon
was preached in one of the village churches
and there was not vacant seat.
The dead wOman's female relatives came,
dressed in their Sunday best" and with
profusion OF hair dressing suggestive of in
tervalS when curling irons had usurped the
throne of grief and anticipations of the
funeral had obtained the mastery over sor
rows mad abandon. The funeral sermon
was literary effort and at its close the
congregation was requested to avail them
selves Of the corpse" by passing up one aisle
and down another in order that they might
by viewing the deceased, who was men
toned as the deceased" show their ire
spects to the dead" There was nothing to
do but to march up with the procession and
view the woman in her coffin, if one would
not refuse respects"
She had died in red flannel; she had been
sallOw and thin and violently en- deshabille
in her death hrur, yet in her coffin she wore
white tarletan and artificial flowers made of
paper, home made, cid evidently made for
the occasion. Her free was covered with
cosmetics and her forehead profusely orna-
mented with SLATE pencil curls," narrow,
stiff, burned and labOrious curls that would
have made professional hairdresser hang
himself in rage at this travesty Of his art
Thus did the kindness of the wild woolly"
manifest itself and therein was il perhaps
quite as successful as in its intellectual
Salads" literary lunches" and cultured
circles, and yet it is suggestive that a large
majority Of THE Wild woOlly west" were
born in New England and emigrated from
the rural districts there and elsewhere.-

MICROBES.
Their Presence q Cause of Diarrhea in
In-ants-

In-ants.
We shall confine ourselves in this paper
70 the diarrhea Of infants. Microbes abound
almost everywhere. Several different
kincs have their habitat in the secretions of
the mouth and throat Most kinds are
harmless, while others are the cause of va
rious infectious diseases. Among the dis
eases caused by them are cholera infantum
and other forms of infantile diarrhea.
Breast-milk is wholly free from bacteria;
therefore 1t is chiefly bottle-fed babies who
have cholera infsntum, and such patients
are readily cured, If not already too far
gone, by being transferred TO a healthy
wet-nurse
Breast-nlk does not curdle and form
hard, cheesy Jumps, which keep up con-
slant irritation Of the bowels, as cows milk
does. This curdling Ia due TO microbes
which the milk absorbs from the air.
Another kind Of microbe effects still moro
dangerous changes in the milk, producing
the violent poison, now known as tyrotoxi-
con, which has so often proved fatal to eat
ers of ice-cresm and milk pies. This Same
microbe is believed by some Investigators to
be the cause Of cholera infantum.
Experts are assiduOusly searching for
some effective means OF destroying the nox-
i0us microbes after their invasion Of the
digestive tract Meanwhile the great aim
should be prevention. THIS may be attained
by "steril.zing the milk that is, By killing
the microbes contained IL IL.
Sterilizing Is best done by steaming the
milk IN bottles. Soxhlet, OF Germany. con-
trived an apparatus for the purpose, which
il now extensively used in that country.
