STORY OF THE BACTERIA.

s'The Story of the Bacteria is what Dr T, Mitchell Prudden calls his little book, which treats of mans invisible friends and enemies essential to the continuance and destruction of higher forms of life. So much has been written on this subject that the doctor has essayed to set some points right and within the comprehension of the lay reader. ''In treating of the bacillus tuberculosis Dr Prudden makes some particularly sensible remarks. The cause of the dread disease consumption, now unknown. This minute bacillus must first get into the system, and it does so coming from the sputum of con- sumptives, from the diseased milk and flesh of cattle infected with tubercule bacillus and from particles of dust in which it exists having been dried as the product of that which has been spat out by consumptive, etc. The writer gives some particularly pertinent advice for the treatment of a patient who can contaminate his fellow, and he recom- mends most wisely stringent pen alties to punish those who sell milk and meat that is diseased.
 Typhoid fever is known to be caused by bacteria, and the germs that cause this disease are little rods or bacilli1 larger than those which cause tubercu losis. It is not known to grow to any considerable extent outside of the body although it may remain alive under water for a good while. This typhoid germ attacks the body, in most cases, through the intestinal canal. In the bowels the bacilli produce a soluble poi son which is generally absorbed while the germ remains and is cast off in the discharges which cause the infection.
 Asiatic cholera is caused by curved bacillus which enters the intestinal canal, multiplies rapidly, and is deadly. Nothing else causes this disease, and in time it is hoped to discover something that will destroy the germ. Diphtheria IS caused by the bacteria, whether one form or more is unknown. Doctor Prudden particularly urges that the dis charges from the throats of diphtheritic patients be destroyed. Pneumonia is believed to be caused by bacteria, the germ being called pneumococcus. It is as vet unknown what bacteria cause scarlet fever, measles, whooping-cough, yellow fever and malaria. Nearly all of xl,o d;eooSac havo their Orioin in some poisonous bacteria.

MALONE is at his old tricks in Virginia of telling the ignorant negroes that a democratic triumph in that state means the sending them back to slavery, and many of them believe what he says. There is an agreeable assurance! how ever, that Malone will be defeated.

Or Thursday night number Of tramps
forced an entrance into Fred Horlacher's
