The people who have invested their
money in the starch factory here are not
all rich men, even if they were it makes
no difference, they are entitled to what
ever little profit there is to be made in

especially when they propose to pay the
farmers the highest market price regard
less of previous contracts. If farmers
are bound to sell potatoes to irrcsponsi-
bic tramps we would advise them to take
no checks or due bills for pay--get the
cash before you deliver potatoes to any
stranger. The starch factory stockhold-
ers, with one exception, are Princeton
men, they are interested in the prosperity
of the village and surrounding country
We hope there are not as many stinkers
here as there are in Elk River where
the starch factory people have to rustic
for every load Of potatoes they get ow-
ing to the cupidity Of their local Jews.

I'm pre<sions of President Lincoln.

Gen Henry G. Thomas, U. S. A., in
a speech, recently delivered in Port
land, Maine, thus gives his impression
of President Lincoln on his visit dur
ing the war to the Army of the James.
At 10 a. m. the President appeared
Gen. WeitZel riding on his left l had
command of the First Division
Twenty-fifth Corps, that day, and the
first to be reviewed, and as the Presi-
dent halted to receive the salute his
eyes lighted for the first time on that
uniformed mass of freedmen, and his
rugged face was illuminated by a@mile
the like of which for benignity / have
never seen. President Lincoln, as we
know, was one of those who saw Wis
ions and dreamed dreams, and I have
always believed, such was the light of
his countenance, that he had a proph-
etc vision that very day that all his
love and labor for the slave was not to
be in vain. He managed his horse we'll,
and sat with ease upon him, but rode
loosely, carelessly, letting his legs
sway and his arms flop up and down.
He had evidently ridden good deal
and never given thought as to how he
rode or looked. His wonderful appear
ance of length struck me very forcibly.
He wa only two and a-half inches tall
CT than Gen. Weitzel, who was thin
even to meagerness, and yet Weitzel
looked actually stubby in comparison.
Add to this loose way of riding that
his tall hat had settled down behind
almost on to his neck, and showed his
forehead and tuft of hair like q
zouaye, and that his trousers had
worked up nearly to the tops of his
stockings and that he wore low-cut
shoes, and you can appreciate Capt.
Bob Linco.n's remark after the cere-
mony was through, as his father APP
preached group of which Admiral
Porter was the center. IL was, "Well,
father doesn't seem 10 handsome much,
does he?"

What Bacteria Are,

The greet majority of these micro
scopic plants are what botanists call
bacteria, the smallest form of vege-
table life, says Fred d. Chester in st.
Nicholas. So small are they that it
wonld take, in some cases, as many as
fifteen thousand Of them arranged in O
row to extend an inch. They have
different forms, some being round,
some oval, some rodshaped, and 9TH
ers much the shape of a corkscrew, or
spiral. In all cases they are so small
that one needs powerful microscope
to study them, and in no case can we
perceive them singly with the naked
eye.
When countless millions of them are
grouped together in mass or colony,
we can see them about as we are able
to see at great distance an approach
ing army, of which we are totally I'M
able to distinguish a single soldier.
We have said that these bacteria move
about; and this is true of most of
them. although there are some which
do not appear so move at all, but re-
main fixed where they find good
feeding-place. Those that have mo-
ton behave in very peculiar manner !;
some wobble about in one place with
out moving forward in the least; 9TH
ers dart hither and thither, back and
forth, at an apparently fulious rate,
rocking and twirling about, and turn
ing hundred somersaults as they
move along.
Bacteria multiply very rapidly, and
they do this in strange way. A sip
gle one breaks itself in two; then each
half grows TO be as large ns the first.
Then these, in turn, divide up again,
aud so on, until from a single one we
have many thousands in short time
To give you the figures, such as they
are, a single one can multiply at so
enormous a rate that in forty eight
hours il can produce something like
$50, 600. 900, 900 of bacteria. Great
consequences follow this enormous in
crease of bacteria, for while one so
small in itself can do little. the army
resulting from the multiplication Of
one Is able 20 accomplish much

1t is common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by oppressed breath
ing to be Asthma or Phthisic. We have short
ness of breath in Consumption and Pneumonia
Just as we. do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases it is always present whereas in Asthma
it occurs in paroXysms.
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs,
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
'.fits" 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
with great difficulty of breathing while it lasts;
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health.
Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma names
given to different forms of this disease. En-
physema is another and more inveterate kind
of Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold is d
peculiar variety of Asthma which occurs at q
forms of disease differs somewhat from the
others in symptoms, but practically these dis
tinctions are of very little value. 1t does not
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has, since his suferings are the same in
ALL In one case the expectoration becomes
yellow, l, and we call it bronchial. In another
it is light, and we call it dry. When he coughs
up clear water, with white froth on the sur
face, we say he has Humoral Asthma. In
Nervous Asthma ii there is very little expector-
as crying cold in the head or influenza, and
a clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma fit comes on. In Emphysema
the eXpectOratiOn is generally thick and con-
tinues SO in the interval between the fits,
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest exertion.
is curable But with these, aided by proper
and skillful treatment, Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased.

practice can use the remedies at home as well

venience or hindrance from business whatever
