Tho Rouatnbout,a Gong.

There is nothing dearer to a darky's
heart than good rhythm to which he
can keep in time the movement of his
feet. The rousters on tho levee are
seized with a wonderful nervousness in
their feet when one Of them suddenly
starts up with an accented verse. The
old steamboat rhymes are to the roust-
about what Strauss waltz is to the So
ciety women. An old rouster ambled
along the levee yesterday, thinking of
the days when he wasn't making $50 a
month with four meals a day. The
happy condition of the rouster now COM
pared with what it was seemed to am asa
him hugely, and he broke out:

SO, Hammer, you're goin' to get married.
And leave your old father alone;
You're goin to jump out O. the old nest
To help to build one o. your own.
OF 60 urse you are sure to be happy,
Whenever you marry Jack Heath,
But you're tyin' knot with your tongue dear,
That you can't unite with your teeth.
oh. yes, Jack is steady and honest,
And loves you so dearly, know,
And no doubt your boat will glide smoothly
When his sturdy arms help to row;
But though the top O. the water be CLASSY
There's rocks and there's sand bars beneath,
And you're tyin' knot with your tongue, dear,
That you can't unite with your teeth.
You're now in a flutter o. pleasure,
But life's not picnic, you'll find,
And when Jack is peevish and fretful.
Then you should be patient and kind.
So, remember, left you this warning,
Along with the rest bequeath,
That you're tyin' knot with your tongue, dear
That you can't unite with your teeth.
Yes Hammer. you've been good daughter,
Unselfish and loyin' and true,
But now you're learvin' the old nest
To help to build one that is new;
So keep in mind your old fathers advice
When you put on your bridal wreath,
For you're tyin' knot with your tongue dear
That you can't unite with your teeth.

BENIGN MICROBES.
The War They Wage With Pernicious
Bacilli In Hunanity's Midst.

The War They Wage With Pernicious
Bacilli In Hunanity's Midst.
The revelations of the microscope as
to the existence of myriads of microbes
in our bodies, as we'll as in all that we
eat and drink, has caused timid people
much anxious wonderment as to why
these creatures are not more injurious
and destructive than they actually are.
Writing'in the Speaker, Sir Henry Ros-
coe explains how it is that even the
deadliest of these microbes may be
found in the mouth or other parts of the
body, and yet their host be perfectly
healthy. The question is not ono of the
mere presence of these organisms in the
system, but entirely one as to whether
or not they find their way into the
blood. If they do not all is we'll, if thoy
do the most serious trouble follows.
Working with the microscope in NJ.
Pasteur's laboratory in Paris, Russian
physician, NJ. Metschinikoff, has been
able to discover the secret of tho i'm
potence of the microbe to penetrate
into the blood. These most recent in
vestigations show that there are certain
cells contained in the blood of all the
higher animals, termed phagocytes and
identical with the well-known white
blood corpuscles, which are endowed
with the power of Independent motion,
and not only wander inside. but even
make their way outside the tissue and
pursue, devour and digest any bacilli
whether poisonous or not, with which
they come in contact. This is in reality
the true battle of life which, though
hitherto unknown and unobserved, is
constantly going Cd within the body.
These phagocytes, which are the
watchful guardians of the body, attack
and annihilate the bacilli before they
can penetrate the blood tissues. So
long as they remain on guard the body
is safe from attack, but should they
from any cause relax their vigilance,
then the invading army of parasites
would pass into the system and destroy
life either by the numerous mechanical
LESSONS which it produces, or by the
poison which it secretes. This appar-
emily independent life of the cell with
in the organism is one of the most mar

Too Many Partners.

Col. Groovertells story of how one
night he was going from Athens to
Augusta with Col. Pope Barrow, and
Harry Hill, one of the best known
conductors in Georgia, was on the
road. When Hill went to set down
his lantern its beams fell on the face
of fellow under the seat. The fellow
at once crawled out and said: 'Well,
boss, I acknowledge the corn; I was
trying to beat my way. I have no
money; you will have to put me off.
Col. Barrow and few others decided
to pay his fare as a reward for his
cheek and sangfroid.
On the next round Hill happened to
set his lantern down near the same
spot, when he found another fellow,
who crawled out and said: "Well, you
have me, too. am the other mans
partner"
Again the hat went around, and the
boys Clipped in to pay his fare. At
this three other fellows that had been
hid, and thought that general collec-
ton was in order, came from their
hiding places. This was too much for
good nature. Everybody laughed,

The class of business men formerly
called ''scalpers" are looked upon to-
day by railway homogeneous and the
travelling public generally as indis-
pensable to the business of one and
the convenience of the other. Ticket
brokers are now numbered by the
hundreds. So far as / can learn, tho
original ''scalper" was Lansing, of
Baltimore, the president of the largest
of the national associations of ticket
brokers. He was, fifteen years ago, a
hotel clerk in Baltimore, and when
thus engaged it frequently fell into
his line to buy at a bargain and sell at
profit unused portions of railroad
tickets. He saw there was money In
the BUSINESS, and hung out a sign,
Railroad tickets bought, sold or ex-
changed" At once he had imitators
throughout the east, and from the
peddling of unused portions of tickets
grew the present far reaching system,
for it must be understood that if the
business of the ticket broker was con-
fined to the sale of return coupons,
etc., one man could doall the business
done in ST Louis. and he would starve
to death at it.-One Of Them 10 Globe
