What Bacteria Are.

he great majority of these micro
scopic plants are what botanists call
bactetia, the smallest form of vege ta-
BILE life. So small are they that it
would take, in some cases, as many as
fifteen thousand of them arranged in a
row to extend an inch. They have
different forms, some being round, some
oval, some rods haped, and others much
the shape of a corkscrew, or spiral. In all
cases they are so small that one needs a
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 a mass, or colony, we can
see them about as we are able to see at
a great distance an approaching army,
of which we are totally unable to dis
tinguish 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 to move at all, but re-
main fixed where they find good fe ed
ing place. Those that have motion be-
have in very peculiar manner; some
wobble about in one place without
moving forward in the least; Others
dart hither and thither, back and forth,
at an apparently furious rate, rocking
and twirling about, and turning hun
dred somersaults as they move along.
Bacteria multiply very rapidly, and
they do this in a strange way. A single
one breaks itself IN two; then each
half grows to he as large as the first.
Then these, in turn, divide up again,
and SO on, until from single one we
have many thousands in a short time.
To give you the figures, such as they
are, single one can multiply at so
enormous rate that in forty eight
hours it can produce something like
2sO, 900, 900, 900 of bacteria. Great
consequences follow this enormous in
crease of bacteria; for, while one
which is so small in itself can do little,
the vast army resulting from the null
tiplication of one is able to accomplish
much.

BREAD PUDDING.

There are a number of ways to vary
bread pudding, and this recipe makes
the one best enjoyed. Take one quart
of milk, one pint of bread crumbs,
three eggs, one small cup sugar, a
small piece of butter and one and one :
half teaspoonfuls vanilla extract. Beat
the yolks of eggs and stir them with
the rest of the ingredients, rescrving
the whites for the top. Bake the pud-
ding twenty five minutes, then take it
from the oven, spread layer of, cur
rant-jelly over the top; beat tho whites
of the eggs to stiff froth, with one
tablespoonful of sugar, spread this on
top of the jelly, return to the oven to
brown on top.-Prairie Fu mer.

The Force of Evaporation.

An average of five feet of water is
estimated to fall annually over the whole
eIth, and, assuming that condensation
takes place at an average height of 5000
feet, scientists conclude that the force of
evaporation to supply rainfall must equal
the lifting of 322, 900, 600 pounds of
water 1000 feet in every minute, or
about 300, 900, 900, 000-horse power con-
stantly exerted. OF this prodigious
amount of energy thus created very
small proportion is transferred to the
waters that run back through rivers to
the sea, and still smaller fraction is
utilized by man; the remainder is dissi-
pated in space

CHICKEN SALAD.

One quart of chicken cut into dice,
one pint of celery cut into dice. Mix
well and sprinkle with salt. Marinate
with French dressing. When ready
to serve add some of the may onn aise
dressing. Cover with may onnaise,
garnish, and serve. Miss Maynard used
three fourths as much celery as chicken.
The celery should be scraped before
cutting into dice. Season the celery
with salt. If one has many people to
serve, turkey can be used instead of
chicken, and is very nice. After the
salad is thoroughly mixed, put it in a
salad bowl, cover with may onna aise,
garnish with the white celery leaves,
then take the yolks of two hard boiled
eggs, rub through sieve, sprinkling
over the salad, aud add few capers.

1t is not fact that new born babies
always have blue eyes. But it is true
that in the majority of cases the eyes
of the newly born are blue ir color, and
as age increases, change. This is owing
to the fact that at the time Of birth the
pigmental structure of the choroid coat
of the eye is not complete, with the re-
suit that the blue and violet rays
Of light are more fully reflected
by the iris. But in very many
cases the eye has it's normal color from

we find grey, brown, or hazel eye

Silver Commodity for Speculation

Congressional legislation has
made silver a commodity for spec
ulation. When silver was demon
etized, spectators in that metal
sprang up all over the country and
reaped rich harvest by their spec
ulations, and the present attitude
of Congress on the silver question
has given new impetus to specula-
ton. Over 1850, 900 ounces of sill
yer bullion were shipped to Lon
don few days ago, and short
while before the passage of the
silver bill by the present Congress,
100000 ounces of silver bullion
were shipped from London to New
York. Thus, silver is kept in bull
ion and shipped and re-shipped
and speculated upon just like any
other commodity Of commerce. In
the good old days of Democratic
rule, silver bullion was coined into
the "dollars of the daddies," anc
every dollar thus coined was worth
100 cents and equal in value tc
gold, and was a par currency il
trade and commerce. But the Re
publican leaders put their unholy
hands on the precious metal, an(
the "dollars of the daddies" wal
made a base metal for speculator
to trade on and become rich a
the expense of the masses wh'
liked them so well.

The Result.


The entire ticket was successful.
All the nominees are elected by a
handsome majority, that of Judge
SCRUGGs being the smallest, which
was the result of the united efforts
of the Republicans, at the sugges-
ton of their bosses, to defeat a
man whose pure Democracy makes
him hateful to them. They swap
ped votes and did everything in
their power to defeat him, The
deep laid scheme of the MOSES of
modern times did not materialize,
but it had its effect, as the law
creating the Office of county Judge
is a new thing in this county, and
few Democrats believed that by
voting for Mr. BANE they were
virtually voting to repeal the law
But they were too short. Mr.
BANE's district, that has heretofore
gone Republican, was carried by
the Democrats from supreme judge
to school commissioners. Judge

thing, but he is the county judge
