A New View of the Microbe.

From the fact that in many forms of disease
the presence of microbes Is detected. the pop
ular notion has arisen that they are the cause
of the disease. and that their destruction
would mean a cure. A rather novel view has
been presented, however. in a little volume
which has appeared in New York, from the
pen of Mr. George 7. Chapman, entitled
THE Microbe Has His Rights" TheauthOr's
view in brief. is that the microbe is not the
cause of disease. but d minute scavenger, set
at work by nature TO remove the debris OF
disease The answer 10 this theory from
medical men in general will no doubt be that
it is not an orthodox view, and various seem
ingly conclusive facts in bacteriology could
doubtless be cited in opposition to It, Yet III
a science that. with all its advances, still con
tains many obscure problems much latitude
NAV be allowed TO theorists In the clash Of
contending intellects CLEANS of truth often
times appear. The Chapman theory, how
ever it may strike the medical man, will i'm.
press the popular mind with a sense of
novelty, and while it may not escape ridicule,
il will easily survive that ordeal unless its
reasoning shall prove to be fallacious.- Phila-
delphia Record.

DECORATION DAY, 1891.
Elizabeth Palmer Mattle,Os, in Harpsr's Wee


Elizabeth Palmer Mat1aetos, in HaTper'S Weekly
Thin grow the ranks. A few worn, weary men,
With the white spray OF age upon each brow,
Come in sad memory Of those far-off days
When they marched gayly where they falter
now.
A few are left How short has grown the list
We call il tenderly with bated breath,
Lost from our ranks should fade the noble band
To answer to the roll-cau OF the ruler, Death
Few, few are left The ranks grow thin and
wide
Apart as the dim armies OF the past.
Silent and slow they come, who once
Their conquering forces on the foeman cast.
Only few, with weak and faltering tread,
And for a little while, their march they keep
Ger the rough ways Of poverty and age,
To bivouac-grounds OF rest, so green and deep.
Thin grow the ranks In silent camps they
wait,
Who shared those hours of victory or defeat
And marble sentTies guard the sacred spot
Where war-worn heroes rest in slumber sweet.
So few are left Where are those gallant ones
Who led the conquering bands to victory,
Who out Of darkness brought the light of peace,
And set race'of suffering people free?
So few. but all the golden-fruited years
Have scattered memory-blossoms on their
And glad nation comes with thankful heart
10 tel Its love on Decoration Day.

BIT OF HUMoR.
A soldiers life has its humorous side as well
as the pathetic, and that may bring a smile
TO the old vets who read this will add this
true story: In an clubhouse near General Ca
sey's headquarters there were several barrels
of whisky, and after the battle you may be
sure It's whereabouts were not long n secret.
Some of the men became literally dead drunk.
and were reported dead to the burial party.
Before the detail reached the spot all had
managed to crawl off but one private and
lieutenant who still lay there, with no appa-
rent pulse and eyes glazed. They were placed
on stretcher and the party started. Whether
the motion of the stretcher or the fresh out
door air brought them TO life we cannot tell.
but up they rose, casting wild looks around
them. The detail dropped the stretcher, and
amid great laughter and much chatting they
realized how near they came being buried
alive.
THE PAST AND PRESENT.
What q contrast now with that spring
morning twenty-nine years ago, when the
drums in sonorous throbs beat TO arms, and
the command, Fall in men" sounded from
every camp around your then beleauguered
city. Where are the legions that stood that
day between you and the foey a few old
gray-haired veterans are all that are left. and
IN a few years more there will not be one TO
tell his story of that days battle.
Over the river. under the shade of the
trees" they are still mastering. and soon the
refrain. "All present or accounted for" will
be borne back TO a generation who will be
strangers to them and their historic deeds.
