A sociabIs Cumming Bird.

A Worcester (Mass.) druggist has a
diminutive pet in the shape of hum
ming bird, which is SO tame that it feeds
readily from it's masters hand, always
posing in the air aud never showing
disposition to alicht when partaking of
it's food. Although very fond of sweets
it will not touch honey, but eagerly

is also fond of flies and spiders and is
very expert in catching them. The
merry little hummer flew in from the
outside one chilly day and has since had
the freedom of the store. Its favorite
perch is on the branch of the gas-pipe
over the soda fountain, from which
vantage point it frequently surprises
customer by darting down and dipping
it's slender beak into the glass from
which he is drinking. In many other
ways the bird shows it's sociability, par
ticularly when the store is first entered
in the morning.-Golden Days.

until the gallery is reached. The stage
will occupy an area of 40 by so feet,
behind which the dressing rooms will
be located. Corridors are proposed for
each side OF the auditorium, extending
through the dressing rooms to the alley
in the rear, thus affording a system OF
exits superior to anything yet devised.
The Schiller, when completed, will
represent an outlay of $500, 900, exclu'
sive of ground rent, and the lions share
of the income to be derived from the
building must necessarily come from
the theater part. The Germans of Chi
cago are great play-goers, and when a
Milwaukee firm of German theatrical
managers secured a fye-year lease on
the Schiller for $50, 900 per annum, they
made good bargain, inasmuch as they
were shrewd enough to insert a clause
i1 the lease which gives them the privi-
lcge of releasing the property, the only
condition ON the part of the owners Of
the building being that Il reasonable
portion of every season shall be devoted
to the presentation of German plays
and operas.

TOBACCO AN ANTlSEPTlC.
Investigation Proves 1t to lie n Prevent
i've of Bacillus Growth.

Investigation Proves 1t to lie n Prevent
i've of Bacillus Growth.
1t has long been popular opinion
that tobacco is an antiScptic, and this
belief seems to have some solid basis of
fact Prof. Nincenzo TasSinari, of the
Hygiene Institute of the University of
Pisa. recently made some very interest
ing experiments on the supposed germ
icidal virtues of tobacco smoke, which
seemed to show that it really had a de-
structive action upon the growth of
bacili, those minute organisms which
are said to be the cause of a vast num-
Der of bodily ills that flesh is heir to.
Prof Tassinari observed the action of
the fumes upon seven different kinds of
bacteria-the so-called cholera bacillus,
the cattle distemper bacillus, the pus
coccus, the Finkler-Prior bacterium, tne
typhus and pleuro-pncumonia bacillus,
and the blue pus bacillus.
Wishing to initiate as closely as
possible the processes going on in q
smokers mouth. the professor passed
tobacco fumes through horizontal tube
into receptacle kept moist by damp
cotton wool, WHICH contained also a
colony of bacilli. The result showed
that the smoke rctards the growth of
some kinds OF bacilli. and absolutely
prevents the growth of others. The to-
bacco experimental with was that
which is used in making the large
Cavour cigar, much favored i'll Italy, and
it was proved that its fumes retard She
growth of pus bacilli by seventy-two
hours, and of cattle distemper baciili by
one hundred hours, while they abso-
lutely arrest the growth of the so-called
cholera and typhus bacilli- If P-of.
Tassinari's results may be relied upon,
it is evident that not only is tobacco not
the deadly enemy of mainland it is
singular with what eagerness man
takes to so many of his deadly enemies
but in many instances it is his great
friend, not only by way of soiace, but
as a warder off and destroyer of deadly
germs that insist on colonizing his body
and turning it to their own uses.-All

The Only yyav to Account for 1t.

The Christmas doll had come through
the mails from Il city several hundred
miles away, and when it was taken
out of its box it was found to be in a
somewhat chaotic condition. One arm
was gone, the bonnet was twisted
around to one side, the curls were fiat
tened out of shape, the head was bent
down. "A portion of the nose was brok-
en- off, the eyes were looking in differ
ent directions, and it stood pigeon-toed
on its feet. Little Flossie eyed it for
some moments in solemn silence and
then began rummaging the box as il
searching for something else.
What are you looking for, Flossie?"
