lsacUerla in lce.

good many of the bacteria which are found in all natural surface waters are expelled or killed when the water freezes, but as many as ten per cent, and often more, may remain alive. large number of studies on this subject have shown that the bubbly and snowy ice is apt to contain many more bacteria than the clear ice does. These bacteria in ice have, as a rule, says a noted au- thority, no influence whatsoever upon the health of the ice consumer, if the ice has been formed on bodies of water which are clear and pure. But ice which is formed on sewage-polluted or otherwise filthy water may contain discase-producing bacteria, and hence be very dangerous for domestic use. It has thus come to be firmly established as n primary principally in sanitary science that sewage polluted water should not be used for domestic pur- poses, either in it's natural state or in its condition as ice. No water which is unfit to drink as water is fit to use for a similar purpose as ice. Its cold ness may benumb the sense of taste, so that no warning of it's nature comes to the consumer. Its intrinsic clearness and beauty may put him off his guard, but all ice cut from sewage-polluted waters is dangerous and should by law be kept from the domestic market. Ice man. ufactured from distilled water should, it
 would seem, be germ free. In fact, however, it is extremely difficult to pre- pare absolutely germ-free water on the large scale, and almost impossible to keep it so if once prepared, because every exposure to the air, or contact with utensils in common use, brings to it varying and often large numbers of | germs which can live and grow in the water. But these small numbers of common bacteria are not of the slight
 est importance to the salubrity of the | water

A STRANGE practice at the Catskills is the potato race. It is simple yet inn mense in its effects. Two rows of raw potatoes are placed on the carpet, each resting on square of white letter pa per. At one end of each row is sauce pan and a soup plate. In the soup plate is teaspoon. Two girls each take spoon from her soup plate and on a given signal get down on their knees and fish for the potatoes with the han dle of the spoon. The trick is to get the potatoes all into the saucepan with no help other than the teaspoon. han dle.

The Pennsylvania Democratic state
convention, says the New York World,
acted wisely. Most of its members pre-
ferred the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land, and expressed that preference
plainly in a resolution. But they de
clined to bind their delegates by instruc-
tions, leaving them free to consult and
deliberate in the National Convention
with their fellow-delegates from other
states.
This is the proper attitude to be taken
by all Democrats. 1t is particularly ap-
propriate for the Democrats of Pennsyl-
vania who realize that in Governor Pat
tison the party has candidate who
would make an admirable leader in case
the National Convention should find it
unwisc to nominate any citizen of the
state of New York.
The platform adopted is sound. 1t
favors the ''gold and silver coinage of
the constitution" and "a currency con-
vertible with such coinage without loss, -
and it also asserts that tariff reform is
the paramount issue, and that the
country should be relieved from necces-
sary and unjust taxation and enjoy the
benefit of free raw materials" " This Is
a long step away from the old traditions
of Pennsylvania and Is most encourag-
| ing.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania, is
evidently under wise leadership.

The Oldest PassiODist,

Rev. Father Stanislaus, cRe of the
Oldest priests of the PaSsionist Order in
this country, died Tuesday morning at
the Monastery on Mt. Oliver in the
seventy-ninth year of his age. He had
been sick but few days, having CON
tracted a severe cold last week, which,
owing to his advanced age, terminated
in his death. Although well advanced
in wears, he was a remarkable and Wig
orOusly active man. Only a week ago
Sunday he said mass at the Monastery.
Father Stanislaus had a remarkable
career, and is the last of the original
band of three Passionists who establish
ed the Order in this country. In COM
pany with Father Anthony, who was
more prominently known during his life
than Father Stanislaus, he came to this
country at the urgent request of Bishop
O'Connor, the then Administrator of
this Diocese, and founded the Order on
the South Side. on Christmas Day, 1852.
The greater part of his life in the
United States has been spent in this
section, and he was almost equally as
well known as his conferree.
