What is a Microbe2

A microbe is any form OF animal or
vegetable life that requires micro--
cope to render it visible |; may be a
bacterium. fungus. or any other mi
mute organism beyond the reach Of the
unaided eve SO recent is the advent
Of microbes into the domain of human
knowledge that their common name
has not yet found place in the die
iionaries. In the Encyclopaedia Brit
annica, they are described under the
head of .Schizomqcetes. Yet microbes
appear to be an inseparable and neces-
sarv part Of our lives. Without them
there could be neither organism nor
decay. They appear to be the ANNA
ting and disorgaDzing elements Of
matter Like the birds, the insects and
the animal creation generally, they are
friendly and unfriendly to man. They
promote health. growth and develop
ment. or they cause disease, decompo-
sition aud death, according TO their
kind. Their number is legion. Already
some forty or fifty are recognized as
peculiar to milk. Every known dis
ease, SO far as investigation has ey-
tended, has its own peculiar microbe,
which can be cultivated as easily as
corn and potatoes, the diseases Of
which are caused by microbes. They
seen to almost answer to the philoso-
piers ultimate atom We can
neither live nor die without them.
They are all-powerful mysterious forms
Of force-good or evil, according TO
conditions.

SPEED OF VASES AND BEEs-A
writer in The Scots Observer says that
he has spriukled individual wasps and
bees with rose colored powder, and has
found that thus handicapped they
could with ease keep up with the fast
est trains when speeding down "Shap
Summit" the steepest gradient in Scot
land. Nor were these carried along in
the rush of air caused by the train.
They would come in and out of the
window, sometimes disappearing for a
minute or more, but frequently return
ing again aud again. At distances of
from five to ten miles they dropped
behind, when others took their place.

On. Macy +. Thomas says:
Thousands ofwomen gave their hea rt's
richest treasures, in the persons Of
their husbands. sons and brothers, to
the struggle for freedom numbers of
women went to the hospitals in the
buildings proper, those on the river
and on the tented field, wherever suff-
ering men were touni. Other thou
sands remained at home, managing the
farms and business houses, making and
shipping sanitary stores to the army
at every point. While we do not ask
recognition of political equality for
women as a recompense for service
performed, this is strong evidence that
women, in all times of emergency, are
considered power in the government,
even though deprived Of the active
duties of citizenship by the govern
ment."

Automarlo Manners.

Society recognizes from time to time
many things, which, If seen and heard
by our ancestors, would have brought
CONSERVATION among it's select.
But time changes minds as we'll as
manners, though even now when making
changes from one circle to another, it
often requires that adaptability which
could be said is found in one who has au-
tomato manners. However, such radi-
cal changes not only appear in drawing
room repartee, street dress, e.c., among
people, but also IN the conveniences and
Injuries afforded mankind. Railroad
travel is one instance. A few years ago,
comparatively, one had to consume much
valuable time in an uncomfortable way.

protests and lead all other countries in
vehemence Of denunciation, since We as
Americans can fully appreciate the value
of liberty and independence, and have
even introduced the principle on which
papal independence rests into the or
ganic laws Of our own country by reserv.
Jog for ever the district Of Column bla for
the exclusive use of the general govern
ment. We are told that the Italians
have not protested against the usurpa-
ton of Rome by the king OF Italy. Why
should thew ? Are they the keepers of
the priceless treasures of the Catholic
church ? But the Holy Father, their
guardian and keeper as trustee for the
whole church, has never for one moment
ceased to protest in the loudest tones
since the s'Robber King" first entered
his sacred domain through the breach of
Porta Pia down to the present hour. In
my humble opinion, Mr.. Editor, ireland
and the Holy See are very nearly in the
same boat to dav, with this marked diff
ference: The HOLY See has been 1nde-
pendent for centuries, while Ireland has
been in bondage for centuries. If,then,
the cause of Ireland be not hopeless
after 700 years of protest, must we des-
pair in the cause of Rome after only
twenty years of protest ? It is also MY
conviction that if the Roman question
had been agitated with half the zeal and
tireless energy expended on the Irish
question it would have been settled ere
this. I might say much more on this
subject did my time and your space per-
NIT, Mr.. Editor, but trust I have said
enough to prevent any sincere Catholic
or true American who reads The STAN
DARD from being deceived by the gilt
tering sophistry Of the editor Of the &c.

wilful and malicious confusing Of true

called on to defend and uphold in the

and the rights of Roman Catholics
throughout the whole world. The Ital-
'tpatrimony of St. Peter than the state

was the gift Of the first Christian princes

Again We have to thank God for one
OF the grandest temporal blessings we
can have on earth-that we are placed
under free, liberal, yet conservative
government, such as this, our American
republic of the United States. Why?
Because it is our own government of the
people, by them, for them. II we have
not the government we want it is our
own fault. The governing authority, be-
fore it makes any law, before it induces
any obligation. is bound to ask the peo-
le, all laws being according to the,
wants OF the people. Yet all men are'
not free, all laws are not made in reason,
and law that is not reasonable is no
law; it is corruption of law, and COM
mands no respect. We American cit-
zens escape these calamities. So, my
friends, [ could enumerate untold mo-
tives for our great Thanksgiving on
this and every day of our lives. Let ue
pause and reflect for how much in ou1
private, individual lives we could offer
God thanks; for how much in our bust.
ness and social relations; for how much
in our life as citizens, as governing
part in the politics of our country.
Gaze beyond the seas, behold the mise
r1es OF insufficient laws, of military dos
potlsm, of the terrible draining of the
countries resources to maintain myriad
forces: ornaments on land and sea, keep
ing fever hot anxieties of neis,hboring
nations. Behold the prosecutions in
Armenia, the so called civilized work of
bringing darkest Africa into the light of
religion and progress; behold the con-
slant and heroic efforts of ireland for "a.
national autonomy. These we escape.
Great, then, is our gratitude to God.
Now, brethren, let us educate our
coming men, improve them, develop
their intelligence into higher gra IL
than social or financial. Let them
through your efforts know how TO cast
an intelligent vote. Cultivate their
minds, and you have Intelligent votlrg-

lot that be his last vote. Then thank,
the great Almighty for all your benefits

Gays, Eye hath not seen, ear heard, nor

ceive the joys of the heavenly kingdom"
