The Nature OF Bacteria.

The nature Of bacteria was for q long
time doubtful, but it has recently been
determined that they are vegetable
rather than animal, occurring in four
forms-spheroidal, ovidal, rod shaped
and spiral. So minute are they that
1900 Of them placed end to end would
only cover q space equivalent to one
quarter Of the head Of q pin. They are
composed of granula, watery mass, sur
rounded by thiokened walls. A drop Of
wator is the ocean In which they live.
Among their various functions is in
cluded . marvellous power Of reproduc-
ton; In twenty-four hours one bacterium
will produce over sixteen millions.

Peacocks in Their Hearts.

A Washington lady recently tried to impress
upon her little girl the evil of personal vanity
by drawing picture of a human heart with a
peacock in it. "Mamma, what does that
mean 81 queried the little one. ''My child it
means when you have your new hat and dress
on, and go to church thinking how fine and
pretty you look, there is a something ugly In
your heart that is like this gorgeous bird, which
is all fine feathers and nothing else. It's voice
is dreadful screech; it can't sing or say any
thing nice to anybody, only admire itself and
strut about" The little girls face grew very
thoughtful. She was evidently taking in the
lesson for future reference, as the result proved
For on Sunday morning papa appeared In new
suit of clothes, and he hitched about here and
there before the dressing table, carefully noting
how 1t fitted at every point Meanwhile
mamma had on her spring suit, with nice new
bonnet, and she spent much time before the
glass putting the finishing touches to her ele-
CANT toilet The little girl, equally fresh and
presentable, paid no attention to her new finery,
but watched her parents from the vantage
ground of her little rocking chair. Finally,
just as they were ready to start for church. the
little one looked up innocently and said:
"Mamma, haven't you and papa got peacock
in your hearts this morning? / felt mine com
ing, and l just said, Go away bad bird, you can't
come in here to-day. Pm going to church = -

What is the Population OF the Dis
fpictp


BY the census of 1880 the population of the
District was placed at 177,O0O, but little atten-
tion was given to the figures at that time, as it
was believed the enumerators were not very
careful. This feeling grew strong until 1885,
when the District Commissioners organized a
census of their own, using the police force to
gather the returns. The footing Of the police
was gone over very carefully, and after great
many reyisions the exact figures were given at
204, 900 people. This was a flattering gain in
five years, and showed that the city was steadily
growing Now it is believed that Supervisor
Dingman will find a population this year of
over 100000 people. The directory just COM
piled at the City Post Office by Postmaster Ross
contains over 10000 names Of parties who re
ceive mail NATTER or are entitled to receive it.,
which, allowing, the usual proportion, would
run up population of more than 260, 900.
There are some who believe that larger return
will be made, but among those who are in a
position to judge it is hardly believed that tho
figures above named will be exceeded. Great
interest is taken in the question, and in real
estate circles many wagers are being made on
the figures,
