A PECULIAR MAN.

The Eccentrioities of the Author of Sand.
+ ford and Merton
Thomas Day, the author of SANFORD
and Merton" book which several
/ generations of children have enjoyed
for its stories without bestowing a
thought on its philosophy, was horn in
Wellclose Square in 174S. His father
held place in the custom-house, and
/ left him fortune of 81, 200. He was
educated at the Charterhouse and Ok
ford, and spent some time in France,
where he received the new philosophy
of education. Having resolved on mar
riage, he determined that his wife
should be modelled in accordance with
the new light. He therefore went to an
orphan asylum at Shrewsbury and
picked out a faxen-haired girl of
twelve, whom he named Sabrina Sid
ney, after the Severn and Algernon
( Sidney, and then the founding hos
pital in London, where he selected
a seco l. whom he called Lucretia. In
taking these girls he gave a written
pledge that within year he would
/ place one of them with respectable
tradesman, giving 600 to bind her APP
prentice, and that he would maintain
her if she turned out we'll until she was
married or commenced business, in
either of which case he would advance
$500. With Sabrina and Lucretia he
set out for France, in order that in quiet
he might discover and discipline their
characters. He, however, quarreled
u-ith hn irlc Nnvt dow thnrr
smallpox, and he had to nurse them
night and day, and by and by he was
glad to return to London and get
Lucretia off his hands by apprenticing
her to milliner on Ludgate hill. She
behaved well, and on her marriage to
substantial linen-draper Day cheer
I fully produced his promised
dowry of $500. Poor Sabrina
could by no means qualify for Mr.. Day.
Against the sense of pain and d"nger no
discipline could fortify her When Day
dropped melting sea.ing-wax on her
arms she flinched, and when he fired
pistols at her garments she started and
screamed. When he told her secrets
she divulged them. He packed her off
to an ordinary boarding-school, kept her
there for five years, allowed her $50
year, gave her $500 on her marriage to
barriSter, and when she became a
widow, with two boys. he pensioned her
with $50 a year. In 17SS he married
Miss Mines, of Wakefield, lady whose
| opinions conceded with his own. He
was killed September rs, 1889, by kick
1 from a young horse, which he was try
| ing to train on new method.-London

WHAT BACTERIA ARE.
They Multiply Very Rapidly, and They ID
This in a Strange WAY.

They Multiply Very Rapidly, and They Do
This in Strange Way
The great majority of these microscop-
ic plants are what botanists call bacteria,
the smallest form of vegetable life. So
small are they that it would take, in
cases, as many as fif1aen thousand OF
them arranged in row t0extend an inch.
They have different forms, some being,
round, some oval, some rod-shaped, 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 per-
ceive them sing1y 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
distinguish 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 remain fixed
where they find good feeding-place.
Those that have motion behave 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 a hundred somersaults as they
move along.
Bacteria multiply very rapidly, and
they do this in strange way. A single
one breaks itself in two; then each half
grows to be 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, a
single one can multiply at so enormous
rate that in forty-eight hours it can
produce something like $4,000, 600, 900
of bacteria. Great consequences follow
this enormous increase of bacteria; for,
while one which so small in itself can do
little, the vast army resulting from the
multiplication of one is able to accom-
plish much-Prof. Frederick D. Chester,
in ST. Nicholas.

USING THE TEETH.

NepIect of Mastication Makes Them
Tender and Softens the Enamel.
The law of deterioration from disuse
obtains with the teeth, as well as With
other things The constant and regular
use of them in masticating hard food
tends to make them continually grow
harder and stronger and better able to
resist The influences that make for de-
cav. while on the other hand, living on
soft food and neglect of masticatlon
makes them tender, softens the enamel,
and renders them easily susceptible to
corroding effects. This is sometinlesI
especially shown in the case OF peop4fb,
after long illness, who find their tee III

turn to diet Of sofid, hard food. q.
dentist. speaking on the subject, say -
s'Some men have healthy teeth all thel4-
lives because they were given hard
food during infancy. That is the period
to begin to save the teeth. Mothers and
nurses give children soft food, utterly
ignorant in many cases OF the result.
Crusts and hard stuffs should be given
to them as soon as they can eat them.
In this way the teeth begin to grow
healthy, and gradually harden with
time and use The chewing-gum girl
gives her molars plenty Of wholesome
and unwholesome exercise. But chew
ing gum is not especially healthy be-
cause only part of the teeth are used
1t is Jaw exercise more than any thing
else. But in eating hard, wholesome
food all the teeth come in contact with
the substance. Tobacco-chewing IS not
healthy for the teeth, because the tooae-
co is generally placed in one LOCATION
like chewing-gum, and there remains
until thrown out. The Southern ne
proes have better teeth than most any
race. because they use them from child
hood up in masticating hard food =

The power of gold is phenomenal.
The discovery of gold in California gave
population and new life to the Pacific
coast. Such a discovery in Australia
populated a continent, and in South At
RIGA is making the Transvaal predomi-
nently English. And now advices from
Demarara represent that it was only the
discovery of gold which prevented an
Instruction. The comparative failure
of the sugar cane industry left the ne
groes without work. The East Indian
coolies had all the places on the sugar
estates. The negroes were on the point
of Esing against the Government, when
"a few exploring gold seekers found
gold along the sides of one of the upper
rivers. The gold fever set in, and it
carried into the interior so many of the
idle, strong and reckless fellows that a
great public danger was averted, and
the emigrants have speedily made and
are now spending nice competencies."
