Microbes in Milk and Water.

1t has been calculated that in a cubic
centimetre of milk (about twenty drops
there may be between 10000 600 and s.
600, 900 microbes, and possibly hundreds
or thousands of different kinds; and the
next twenty drops of milk may contain
as many more varieties. The microbes
in drop of water taken from the we'll
may consist in a number of straight
rods; at the end of an hour the rods
break in two, and in another hour an
other division takes place, the number
doubling about every hour. Every
minute that the water is exposed to the
air adds to il hundreds of microbes, and
yet water is pronounced good or bad,
according to what the analyst sees
through the microscope, or thinks he
sees when the water finally reaches him
in his laboratory.-N. Y. Pharmaceutical

HARRY.s LUCKY DAY.
An Amusing Incident Of President Harrt-
sons Yisit to Deer Park.

SOn's WISH TO Deer Rarks
There is little messenger boy at
Deer Park who thinks the wife of the
President of the United States the kind
est woman in the world. He is a poor
little chap, this Harry Schoolcraft, but
with an honest-manly face, and some
how he manages to get along and almost
entirely supports a father and mother
who are both invalids, and younger
brother. For many day he carried
messages from the hotel telegraph Office
to the White House cottage, usually
giving them 10 the pre-occupied Presi-
dent or his busy private secretary. One
day he came away from the cottage with
bright face. Some one asked him if
he had handed the message to the Presi-
dent himself. and then spoke of the
honor of being the bearer of dispatches
to the chief magistrate of the United
States. Harry blushed. He was a pat
riot and loyal, but he finally blurted
out:
Il would lots rather give them to Mrs.
Harrison; she always gives me fifty
cents
Whether it was due to the half-dollars
or Mrs. Harrison's uniform kindness to
the lad, he was one of the group of vii
layers who came down to the station at
the Presidents and Mrs. Harrison's de-
parture from Deer Park. Harry didn't
know it, but it was his lucky day. He
sat on the truck the picture of woe while
the following dialogues were going on:
Mrs. Halford to Mr.. Halford:
Don't forget to give the little mes
senger boy dollar"
Mrs. Harrison to the President:
Il haven't any change Benjamin; will
you give that poor little boy some
thing?"
The President to his private secre-
tary:
See to it, will you, Halford, that the
messenger boy gets good fee?"
As result of these commands Mr.,
Halford gave the lad on the truck So,
but did not mention the fact to any one.
Mrs. Halford passed him little later,
and, fearing that her husband had for
gotten him, she drew out 81 and handed
it to the boy. As the train pulled up
Harry was perched on the railing to get
last view of his munificent but depart
ing patrons. Mrs. Harrison saw him.
The little messenger boy, Benjamin;
don't forget him."
"Ah, yes" said the absent-minded
President, shaking hands with the sur
prised Harry, and leaving in his palm
change that amounted to exactly S1.S0.
In the car the subject was mentioned.
Did you" queried Mrs. Halford.
Il did" answered her husband.
ut is all right, Halford; l had the
change, so l feed the boy" said the
President.
$50 did L. remarked the secretary
pensively, looking out of the observa-
ton end of the fast departing car to the
open-mouthed lad on the fence, who still
held one hand full of the Presidents
quarters. and drew from his pocket with
the other Lies munifcent donations,

SPICES AND CONDIMENTS.
Notes For Housewives Who Desire 10 Sc
Good Table.

Notes For Housewives Who Desire 10 Set
Good Table.
The contents of the Spice-box are an
essential matter if the housewife de-
sires to set good table. The store
closet must be we'll supplied with dried
herbs for seasoning, condiments of all
kinds of the best quality and well-se-
lected spices. 4 fresh supply of all
these articles should be secured from a
thoroughly trustworthy grocer or spice
merchant in the fall when the fresh
supply for the year comes in. Fall
picking and preserving will usually
finish up all spice left over. 1t is best
to use such old spice in some of the
cheaper pickles, by all means using
fresh spices in choice preserves. Old
stores of herbs had better be put in the
fire and the supply OF the new crop Sc
cured. 1t is far better not only 70 grind
your own spices, but to prepare your
own herbs. Tin boxes of powdered
spices and herbs are too often adulter-
ated, an impoSSibility when the herb is
homegrown, and very nearly impossible
if the spice is purchased whole and the
purchaser is any judge of spices. Spices
are quite often soaked and the essential
favor taken for essences and the spice
sold when its flavor is nearly gone. To
test nutmegs scrape the outside and
see if the oil follows, that is, if the nut
meg is darkened by moisture. If it re-
mains dry, it should be rejected. A
good spice mill will last for years, and
may be purchased for Sl.25. Do not use
it for coffee, but keep 4 separate coffee
mill.-N. Y. Tribune

NAMES or CIGARS.
Some Of Them Refer Mere to shape Than
To

to Quality.
What people don't know about the
various names applied to cigars wsuld
NIL a book" said a Newcastle street
cigar dealer. II have heard men laud
perfectos to the skies, as though the
word perfectos was a name or a quality
name. And again have heard a man
say perfecto was not a perfecto because
1t was different in flavor from a perfecto
he smoked some time before. How alb
Surd he was will be plain to you if YOU
understand properly the Specification of
cigar names. The word perfectos is
used to designate the peculiar shape of
such cigars. Workmen get more for
making them than for making others,
as it is not so easy to roll the material
into the perfecto shape. For this reason
a perfecto would necessarily cost more
than a cigar of the same material but
less difficult to make. But as far as the
word goes it is used only to indicate the
shape of the cigar. Besides words used
to designate the shape we have words
which refer to size Such words are
tinas, grandes. OF the terms applied 10
shapes l may cite Trabucos, Londres,
Conchas, Reina Victorias, Pantatelas,
Regalias-these words being plurals
The language, you see, is Spanish, and
the names were first applied by the
Cubans. Words which indicate size and
shape are Infantes, applied to tiny
cigars; PrincesSeS and Elegantes. Com
binations of size and shape give such
names as Conchas Finas, Conchas
Speciales, Londres Grandes, so that in
two words you have the shape and size
indicated. brunswick (Ga.) Times.

IS HH PLAYING EAIR?
Bismarck's Resort to the Mails
a Trick to Gain Time,
THERE WAS NO GOOD REASON
whythe Correspondence Concerning
the Berlin Conference should
Not Have Been Conduct,
cd by Telegraph.

BALTIMORE, Feb, l4.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
telegraphs his paper as follows regarding
the proposed conference at Berlin on sa'
moan matters; ut looks nov very much
as II the Samoan conference at BefShf
will not held by representatives OF the
present administration, Count Arco-
Valley, the German Minister, called up
on Secretary Bayard yesterday and I'M
formed him that the letters in answer to
Bismarck's proposal for a conference
had been sent to Berlin by mail, 1t will
reach Berlin about the Goth, The Ger
man foreign office will probably take
several days to consider Mr., Bayard's
suggestions, and Its answer, ii sent by
mail, would hardly reach this country be-
fore the beginning OF the Harrison
regime,
These would not have been conducted
by telegraph, except on the assumption
that BismarCk's resort to the mails is
simply trick to gain time In which
they can punish the Samoans before the
negotiations at Berlin will begin, In
well informed quarters here there is q
suspicion that Germany has already
sent reinforCements to Samoa to revenge
the killing OF a number OF men in recent
fights with Mataafa, and 1t is not at all
unlikely that we will ultimately hear OF
another bloody battle. II, however,
Bismarck is playing fair, and accepts
Mr., Bayard's proposal OF 2 truce In good
faith, a commissioner will DO sent by
Mr., Bayard TO represent this countryat
Berlin, provided, Of course, Prince Bis
marck's reply Is received in time.
Minister Pepdleton, although much
improved in health, is hardly strong
enough to conduct the negotiations, A
hitch in the matter, aside from the de-
lay OF correspondence by mall, may
arise from BismarCk's unwillingness to
accept Mr.. Bayard's proposal that in
struCtions to suspend belligerent action
in Samoa DO telegraphed at once TO the
German agents and representatives Of
the other treaty powers.
1t is thought to be quite possible that
Bismarck will insist upon reprisals by
way of asserting German prestige in the
Pacific and satisfy tho National pride
which has been touched in tender spot
by the defeat Of the German landing
party by Mataafa.
Mr.. Bayard, however, has made most
vigorous protest against such course
ard has already limited that 1t would DO
scarcely worth while to hold confer
ence unless Germany gives practicable
evidence Of u sincere desire 10 promote
the restoration Of peace in the islands
by forcing her desire for vengeance.
