COLD OR MISSIONARY HOT.

Whether he ev er dined on Missionary or
not, and whether he ever ate OF the body OF

Prof. l.. De Treville of Orangeburg speaks
thus OF him.

The great mystery as well as the serious ap

Brave Mother.

AS showing the force of maternal love
among the lower animals, there are few
m re pathetic incidents than the follow
ing, which comes from Australia:
The owner of country station was
sitting one evening On the balcony out
side his house, when he was surprised
to notice kangaroo lingering about,
alternately approaching and retiring
from the house, as though half in doubt
and fear what to do. At length she ap
preached the water pals, and, t, king a
young one from her pouch, held it to
the water to drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all over
with excitement, for she was only a few
feet from the balcony on which one of
her great foes was sitting, watching her.
The iittle one having finished drinking, it
was replaced in the pouch, and the OLD
kangaroo started off at a rapid pace.
When the natural timidlty of the
kangaroo is taken into account, it will
he recogniZ d what astonishing bravery
this affectionate mother be rayed. II is
a pleasing ending to The story that the
eyeu illness was 50 affected by the scene
that from that time forward he could
never shoot II kangaroo.

THE CONSUMPTION CURE.


Vas Lea to MAKE
Though Professor Koch, of Berlin,
can not be said to have discovered his
method of curing consumption through
chance, as some say was the case with
Jenner's invention of vaccination for
smallpox, it is still interesting to notice
how much he was indebted to good
fortune in the lightning of his lnvestl-
cations. Dr. Emmerich, of Munich, Is
the authority for the following anec-
dote:
professor Koch noticed once that
when piece of cooked potato is eX-
posed to the atmosphere for couple of
hours, and then placed in damp at
mosphere under glass cover-to pre-
vent drying-after several days num-
Der of infinitesimal round white speqls
Or drops will appear on it, each one APP
parently differing from the other. Mi
croscopic investigation shows that every
one of these specks consists of a paric.
tllar species of micro organisms, which
arise from seeds that have fallen on the
potato from the air, and have here
found a favorable ground for further
generation. Each seed by itself multi
plies on the particular spot of the hard
potato substance on which it has hap
pened to drop. without having the
means of combining with Others.
Thus, there can b. nothing like inter
breeding, and, theref re, pure cells
that is, each consisting of number OF
bacteria belonging to one isolated genus,
must arise side by side Very properly
T. 4, !; l., / 4l,i..
markable phenO menOn. For # IN the
place of the potato the surface of some
nutritious fluid were exposed to the air,
doubtlessly seels for future organisms
would also drop on it. But III fluid
the movable bacteria would m!nSle to.
gether, and at the same time also set the
originally immovabie ones into motion,
10 that an infinite variety of breeds, a
chaos of mixed forms and species, would
cnsue, but nowhere any pure and specific
bacteria cells.
what, then, asked he, is the radical
difference between the fruitful soil
which tie potato offers for such organ
isns and that of the nutritious fluid !!
None, surely, ut that one is solid, and
thus hinders any commingling of genera,
while on the other hand there can be no
question of their lasting separation i'll a
iubstratum of no greater density than
that of fluids.
professor Koch understood how to
npply the lesson he had learned from
these results to his further experiments
in breeding pure bacteria cells in hard
and transparent substances, which ultl-
mately led to the brilliant successes he
has achieved now and before this. In
addition to this he has known enough
TO apply all modern Improvements in
apparatus, instruman ts, and the methods
pf using them, as well as the advance
made in the use of microscopic and
lighting processes to his special branch
IF bacteriologic investigation. BY this
nIone he has succeeded in making for
himself a name in medicine. Now, if it
,;rove true that he has discovered a safe
and rational remedy against tuberculosis
and incip;ent consumption, he has made
himself AN immortal name in history.
