NJ Adamctz has lately made some re-
searches upon the microscopic organisms
that inhabit cheese. In Emmenthal, a soft
variety of Gruyere cheese, he found in
each gramme when fresh from 10000 to
10000 microbes. This number increases
with time. But the population of a cheese
IS not everywhere distributed the same in
it. The center is but moderately inhabited
with respect TO the exterior portion. The
population ola soft cheese near the periph-
cry is from 100000 to 560O,000 microbes
According to the mean of these two
figures there are as many living organisms
in 800 grammes Of such a cheese as there
are people upon the earth.

State Soldiers Home.

The following extract is taken from the
address of Capt. Henry Booth, Depart
ment Commander, G. A. R., delivered
at Salina, Kansas. last month. Capt.
Booth is determined in the matter of es-
tablishing a home for the needy soldier,
as is shown in the following:
Through the exertions of Lewis post,
No. 294. at Dodge City, Kas., and the
patriotic citizens of Ford county, the old
Fort Dodge military reservation was
secured from the general government by
act of congress for State Soldiers
Home. There is something over us
acres of fine bottom land, and sufficient
number of buildings when property re-
paired and arranged to accommodate
several hundred ''old soldiers" their
wives and dependent children. The
legislature at its last session appropriated
$4,000 for the two years 1889 and 1890
for repairs, furnishing and maintenance.
A board of managers was provided for
by the law to consist of three members
and the Governor appointed as such
board comrades j. D. Barker, of Girard,
Ira F. Collins, of Sebetha, and Henry
Booth, of Larned, for three years, two
years and one year, respectively. The
board organized by electing j. D. Barker
president, and Henry Booth secretary.
Something over $1,000 has been expen-
ded in repairs, and comfortable quarters
for at least one hundred old soldiers are
now provided at this home. The small
amount appropriated rends it impossible
to care for very many, until the legisla-
ture provides more money for furnishing
and maintenance. This home is to be
on the cottage plan, and for old soldiers
and their wives particularly. although
unmarried soldiers are not debarred ad-
mittance.
This home is tardy recognition by
the state of the needy old soldier and his
no less needy wife. Nearly every north
ern state in the Union has provided
places where the '.brOken down soldier
can find home without being separated
from his wife, and Kansas, which should
have been first in such patriotic move
ment, brings up the rear. a method not
in keeping with her record upon nearly
ever other question. Every comrade
especially, and every old soldier. should
see to it that the member Of the next
legislature from his district is Informed
as to the needs of this institution, and
requested to assist it by his vote and in
fluence.
