"Gladsione Is Eighty-Three."

The subject Of the day on which the
greatest curiosity exists is Mr.. Gladstone's
health. This, we are glad to be able to
announce, is excellent, and the prime
minister is facing the session with as
much buoyancy as the youngest and
newest member of the house. Of course
cighty-threc is eighty-three. Indeed,
the first thing which those about the
prime minister must necessarily think to
themselves every morning is, MIR Glad
stone is eighty-tnree." But in spite of
his great years Mr. Gladstone has inn
pressed everybody who has come in
contact with him since his return from
Biarritz with his vigor and vitality alike
of mind and of body. So long as he is
actually in harness the prime minister
appears the same man as he was twenty
years ago; and when he is out of it, the
only difference observable is that he Is
not quite so gluttonous of eXtraneous
work as once he was.
The common idea that the session is
likely to be specially injurious to the
aged prime minister is mistake. What
keeps him well is work and excitement
it is when he is out of "the movement
and in scclusion that he is most apt tt
run down. The fact is, if we may ust
the metaphor, that Mr. Gladstone is al
intellectual drunkard TO keep in full
health and vigor he requires the stimulu
of political and intellectual excitement
This, at any rate, the session which
opens to-day, whatever else it may have
in store, will unquestionably afford tt
the leader Of the house. London West

One Of the most familiar manifestation
of the presence in air of unseen germs IS
the formation of mold, such as is fire.
ouently seen on bread, fruit or cheese.
TO the naked eye this is only an ugly
scum or fuzz that can be easily scraped
away from the surface and causes no per-
ceptible changes in the parts beneath.
Under the microscope this would become
luxuriant field of green as beautiful as
the expanse of waving grain that clothes
the plains in spring Air always
contains these mold germs, but they do
not take root and grow on the surface
where they chance to light, else mold
would be the rule instead of an occa-
sional occurrence. These intnitesimal
seeds must be we'll watered or they die.
/ This we express when we say that mold
/ forms only in places that are moist or
damp. The mold germs that thrives on
/ bread is not the one that finds nourish-
ment in the Juice of fruits, nor the one
that lives by preference in the barnyard.
Some years ago, during excavations IN
the buried city of Pompeli there were
/ found several jars of preserved figs,
Theoretically sealed, which had been pre-
pared by some good housewife of that
/ Inflated city, eighteen hundred years be-
/ fore. When these jars were opened the
/ fgs proved to be as fresh and delicious
as if put away only the summer previous.
It is said that that discovery taught the
present century the art of preserving
! fruit. This art, so familiar to every
household, depends merely on the exclu-
sion of the germs of. fermentation.
There are other kinds of germs whose
Importance is very great, for they find
their residence, not in the dead, but In
living tissues, and thus become a menace
to the health and even the life OF man.
Does all air contain disease germs, and
is there any way to prevent their presence
there2 These are questions of vital I'M
p1rtance to the human race Forum
ately for nan, such germs are not always
lowering about him. Air is seldom free
from microscopic forms of life, but the
majority of such are perfectly harmless to
man. 1t is only exceptionally that all
contains those varieties that cause dis
ease. There are two sources for thell
occurrence in the air of any particular
locality:
First.-They come from decomposine

This is the case with germs of typhoio

The Harvest Moon

Over fields lha. are ,ipe with the swe ,tness
That hides in the full ia sse.ed corn,
Over Vineyards slow reaching completeness,
Dim puIpling at dust and At morn,
Shine down in their aftiuent splendor,
0 moon of the year in her prime;
Beam soft, mother hearted aud tender;
Earth hath not a holier time.
For the seed that slept long in the furrow
Hath wakened to life and to death;
From the grave tina. was cerement and bur
Hath risen to passionate brGlth.
1t hath laughed in the sunlight and starlight
Hath thrilled 10 the breeze and the dew,
And fallen to stir in some far night,
And all The old gladness renee.
0 moon Of the harvest's rich glory,
Thy banners outflame in the sky,
And under the men write the story,
That cries to the heavens for reply
The story of work and endeavor,
OF burden and weakness and strength,
The story that goes on forever, y
Through centuries dragging lis length.
And thou ever stately and golden,
Thou moon of the latest years prime,
What sight though thine eye hath beholl ler
No grief to thy pathway may elm b.
As over the fields that are ieapen,
At evening and level aud shorn,
Thou pourest thy splendors that deepen
The rose and the silver of morn.

The Ministry of Insects

It has been said by some naturalists that
'insects pay Ii belal wages for the food which
flowers provide TO. Them" Aud you will
surely think so when you know what q very
important duty they are called upon to per
form. This strange service is rendered most
ly by the vast army of fl es, bees, butterflies,
and moths that are following out the great
law of nature in their unconscious emission
Of love-"
This law Of exchange is one OF the most re-
alkab.e facts in history. First, flo Wers feed

is 10y tue insects flying from one flower to an

ways provided at the end of the flower, and
whe the iI.sec's 60 in TO get this honey they
brush themselves against these yellow dust

Now you see what a good thing it is for the
insects to visit the flowers And another Gu

MISSILES FROM THE SRR.
A Report like Thunder Followed by
Fall Of Aerolites.

On May 26th a meteorlc stone ex-
ploded the fragments falling along Bea-
yer Creek, about ten miles above its
junction with the Columbia river. At
=. NJ. on that day there occurred
fifteen or twenty short. sharp reports
following each other I'm quick succession.
The first report was the loudest but all
were clear and distinct The noise was
heard nearly twenty-five miles away. y
party OF engineers surveying on the
Nelson and Fort Sheppard railway were
working I'm the vicinity. At first they
thought the noise was thunder or
railroad blast but there was no blasting
within six or seven miles, and the noise
was unlike either thunder or blast. Fol-
lowing the reports a whiZZing sound was
heard. as if made by some body moving
swiftly through The air. They were
working in thick. heavy timber. and.
therefore. could see nothing, and no
fragments fen close enough 10 be heard
strike the ground
At the time 81 the explosion 7. ".
Geriing was walking along the trail up
Beaver creek. He heard IT, but at first
supposed ID TO be thunder. a few mo-
ments later he heard the Thizzing sound
above mentioned. and as he looked no
to see whence il came II grew louder
and louder until stone struck the
ground not far from where he was stand
ing He searched for IL, but the bushes
were so thick he could not find it. and
the fragment evidently was small. Ed.
Mcleod. who was building the tote"
road for Contractors Peter Larson &
Co, says that the report seemed TO come
out of the sky almost directly above the
place he was working A fragment fell
within fifty feet of him. and, although
It buried itself in the earth. he succeeded
in digging 1t out. The specimen would
weigh four or five pounds. One or two
other fragments were observed 10 fall
and two labOrers We're nearly struck.
on the following day James Hislop
Of the engineer corps was taking to-
Biography near where Ed Mcleod found
his specimen, and while SO doing came
uDon hole in the earth about the size
Of n badger hole. and evidently freshly
made. as loose earth had fallen back in
Il. The hole was al an angle Of sixty or
seventy degrees. Together with y. l..
McNair and Otto Austin, also of the en-
gineer corps they made an excavation.
and at a depth Of about three feet came
upon a rock weighing about twenty-five
hounds. which was exactly similar 10
the piece found by Ed. Mcleod. 1t was
taken 70 camp, and is now In Mr. His
Ions possession. other fragments, and
probably larger ones, fell, but as they
scattered three or four miles apart.
and the country is mountainous and
thicky timbercd, there is little chance
that any more will be found-Spokane
