UNDER TIE MICROSCOPE.
Inhabitants of Drop of Water Describe ed
by a Red-Nosed Man.

You asked me the other day why I
entertained such a prejudice against
water" said a gentleman with a toddy-
blossom on the end of his nose to
Washington Star reporter. IF you
will kindly gaze through this micro
scope / shall be able to explain with
out having recourse to wordy argu-
ment. l will take a drop of water
from the tap here at the washstand.
There you observe l let it fall upon
this little piece of glass. 1t is ready
now for examination under this in
strument, which l adjust to a high
power. Let US see if, in swallowing
this pure Potomc fluid which the peo-
pie of Washington are obliged to con-
sumo, they do not imbibe very many
extraordinary and upinviting Great
ures. Let us turn the reflector little.
Now there is cheerful specimen right
in the field of vision. Apply your eye
to the microscope and drink him in in
Imagination. Isn't he lovely?
THAT, my dear sir, is a beast known
scientifically as the 'bosmina long
irostris.' The latter part of its name
signifies long-beaked- Observe the
coquettish pose of its hind leg. You
drink lots of those fellows every day at
meals.
LET me move the glass trife, so
as to bring into view another part of
the drop. There are two rather un-
pleasant looking fellows for you.
That WornI-like one, which YOU see
squirming around in a transparent sac,
as if anxious to get out is called an
'auguillua.' Cyclops' is the name of
the other, which resembles young
siX-legged baby somewhat, I think.
1t is young, too, being newly hatched 6
but it will grow much bigger which is
a comfort. You yourself consume ever
so many such.
but look herei Now that l have
moved the glass trif1e the other way.
| have brought into view still another
part of the drop, in which you may
see cavorting the 'cyclops quapricor-
nul.' so-called because it is a one-eyed
monster with four horns and ten legs.
Take look at him.
II won't bore you with any more Just
now, but [ could show you more than
200 species of microscopic creatures in
the water, each of them with a scien-
titic name of its own. 1 might men
ton, for example. the vorticeLIa oi
formidable jaws; the clostoriump pre-
cisely the shape of pair of cows
horns; several species of hydra, with
waving tentacles; and the 'amphora
gigas, in the shape of an ornamental
letter o. There are no end of thing;
which these creatures initiate in form
One looks like fish, but is not. An
other resembles a broom. still another
coal scoop, and so on ad infinitum.
Now, it is all very well for persons
who are not acquainted with these
things to drink water, but a microscopes
like myself ought to know better. Ant
when you consider the disease germs
like those of typhoid, which are so apt
to haunt this fluid, you can not bu
realize the desirability of avoiding i
as | do"

The hardest blow yet struck the
much vaunted (by republicans) tin
plate clause of the Mckinley tariff act,
which goes into effect July l, next, was
given by Hon. David A. Wells, who
says that the Standard Oil Monopoly
will thereby be benefited to the extent
Of 81, 500, 900 year in drawbacks, on
the tin used in its export packages.
Mr.. Wells says that notice was served
on Mr.. Mckinley and his republican
associates by the Standard Oil people
that unless their interests were taken
care of by the insertion of provision
allowing a drawback on imported tin
plate used in the expectation of do
mestic products, they would defeat the
bill. The provision was inserted, and
under it this wealthy monopoly will
get its tin n-plate for about 1925 a box,
while all ordinary consumers will have
to pay about $6 box.

THE growth of the Democratic Clubs
of the country is phenomenal, when
one comes to consider the fact that the
democrats have no favored class to
draw upon for funds to be used in
pushing their organization or adding
to their membership. as their republi
can opponents have, in the protected
manufacturers. The democratic clubs
are entirely self-supporting They are
doing good work for the party, and
all who are 80 situated that they can
not take an active part in club work
should become contributing members,
Remember that Clarkson, Dudley and
company are in the saddle'' on the
other side, well supplied with audacity
and boodle."
