THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
QUIET LIVES.
VIRGINIA DOUGLAS.

Like the quiet flower of summer stream,
Or the peaceful tenor of poets dream
In starry nights,
Ith the Stellar CLEANS in whirl o'erheaj.
And the laugh of the moon on the river shed
In shaded lights
And shostly sylphs, with their tread OF air,
FITTING about 10 the music fair
These quiet hours
OF life secluded from the busy mart
OF the worlds great. longing. restless heart
And nervous powers
Delights the soui-that happy soul
That knows the continent control
OF simple mind;
OF hear and brain that knows no longing
OF a sou. that knows no wrong nor wronging
HIS human kind;
Among al. stone OF time-stained books,
no for his daily pleasure looks,
Ana asks no more.
hose mind TO all the world u kind,
To grosser passions, eYils-blind;
And from whose door
The beggar never turns IN vain
For food, or shelter from the rain
And cheering smile.
Blest thrice blest-lives like those-they spring
In sheltered corners Of the world-and bring
An increase with them-like the lowly flowers
That bloom in woodland byways, slAy@d be show
ers:
OF night kiss'd dew that fills wher angel
weep,
And all the world is wrapt in mystic sleep.

The nature of bacteria was for long
time doubtful but it has recently been de-
termined that they are vegetable rather
than animal. occurring in four forms
spheroidal. ovoidal, rod shaped and spiral.
So minute are they that l.500 of them
placed end to end would only cover space
equivalent to one quarter of the head of a
pin. They are composed of a granuls
watery mass. surrounded by thickened
walls 4 drop of water is the ocean in
which they live. Among their various
functions Is included a marvellous power of
reproduction: in twenty-four hours one
bacterium viii produce over sixteen mil
lions.

military science that the moment 1t was
introduced 1t was copied wholesale. The

MRS. T.B. WALKERS VIEWS.
She Talks About q Reformatory
for Women.


Mrs. T. B. Walker appeared before
the committee of the council on work
house yesterday and entered an earnest
protest against the proposed establish
ment of a WOman'S retOrmatury at
the workhOuse. She commended that
the woman'S reIOrmat0ry prison should
be located entirely away from any other
public institution. that it may be en-
tirely free from the demoraliZing infiu-
ences OF the slightest association of the
seXes-even the going 10 and from the
wOrkhOuSe in the same van with crimi-
nal men is degrading to women. and
makes their future reformation so
much the harder. 1t should be
built on reasonable sized
piece of ground properly enclosed where
the inmates may take daily exercise in
proper weather. tilling the garden. etc.
The building might be constructed hike
double tenement, as the refo matory
and penal departments must be kept en-
tirely separate and apart from each
other, 1t should be substantially built
and planned with reference to enlarge
mentS, but need not be necessarily eX-
pensive or prisOn-like in Its looks. The
strictest discipline should be required.
and, as far as the law allows. the indie
terminate sentence should be given
that is, the prisoners should know that
upon themselves and their behavior de-
pended the length and severity of their
detention.
She referred to the successful opera
ton of the Bethany home. aud said that
some of the hardest women sent there
had. through the influences brought to
bear on them, become respectable mem
beers of society. Speeches were also
made by Secretary Hart, of the state
board of charities, and others interested
of fallen women. The committee post
p0ned taking any action for two weeks.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

Quarters.


Quarters.
The Minneapolis Academy of Natural
Sciences held its regular meeting at its
new rooms in the new library building.
The entire collection of the society
has been removed to the com
modious quarters in the library.
The 1850 specimens forming this
collection have been placed in new
cases and, in many instances. remounted
and recovered, and. when the friends of
the society visited those rooms last
evening, they found everything in
order, and many a favorable comment
was passed. The collection consists OF
1000 mineral and geological speci-
mems, 800 specimens of plants, 300 birds,
25 of mammals, % alcoholic and
200 archaeological specimens. The
gradual accumulation of seventeen
years has accomplished this. DR.. p. J..
Hatch, one of the early members of the
society. gathered the specimens of birds.

AN EARLY MORNING FIRE.
The Old Merrick Mansion Badly
Damaged


The old Merrick mansion, at Nicollet
avenue and Nineteenth street, which
was one of the old landmarks OF Mime
apoliS, was badly damaged by fire early
yesterday morning. The flre is sup
posed to have originated from the fur
mace in the basement, and the flames
worked their way to the roof through
hot air fiue. The flames were discovered
by Mrs. Yeatman, daughter
of MIR. Merrick's, who alarmed
the household. At that time
the flames were coming through the
roof near the hot air fiue, and Louis
Merrick tried to eXtiDguish the blaze by
sm0thering it with snow. An alarm
was turned in. but there was conSidera.
bic delay III the arrival of the depart
ment, and the fact that the FIRE hydrants
were frozen caused another delay in
getting water on. Then there was a
scarcity of ladders, and by the time the
put the fire out the entire upper floors
portion of the valuable furniture on the
lower floors was carried out. but much
of it was badly damaged in the excite
ment. The valuable library owned by
Mr.. Merrick was almost totally de-
Stroyed. The loss is estimated at Si2. 900,
which is partially covered by insurance.
The building was erected in 1878 by r.
j. Mendenhall at cost of 10000. and
was considered one of the finest resi-
dences III the, Northwest. 1t had been
occupied by a. w. Merrick and his fam
lily for the past six years.
