How to Start Life.

Chauneey N. Depew is a philosopher as
well as wit. Nothing can be better
than his definition of the material am
billions with which a young man should
begin his career. Writing in Dona-
hoes Magazine on young men in politics,
Mr. Depew says: Every Young man
should start out in life with three def
mite objects First. to earn an honest
living; second, to secure an income large
and permanent enough to suppor,a family :
and third, to lay up something for old age
and the care OF the helpless ones who he
may leave behind when he dies ANY
young man whose ideas as to what he is

To the Confederate Soldiers.
General Il. Kirby Smith, the last
full general of the Confederate
States, died at Sewanee, Tenn, on
March 2S, 1898.
General Kirby Smith left a widow
and eleven children, six of whom
are girls. Only one of his children,
his oldest son, is at any employ
ment, ,sall the others being at school.
He owned a small place at Sc
vance at the time of his death,
which he left heavily'encumbered.
Ltas the solemn duty of the Con-
federate soldiers to lift this encum-
brance off of his place, and at least
start his children square with the
world if not above want.
Therefore appeal to the Confed-
crate soldieps of the South, espe-
cially Of Tennessee, to contribute
their mite to this noble charity, and
,thereby assist'the family of one Of
the bestsoldiersof the,C Confederacy
/ know and feel this appeal will
not be in vain, and hope the Con.
I.federate soldiers will come enthu
siastically to the rescue.
All contributions will be either
sent to Col. John P. Hickman

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF BREAD
MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDISON, NJ. D.,
Health Commissioner, New York City

Health commissioner, New \ ork city.
1t is necessary, if one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
cnt theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
OF those germs by medical men, a
knowledge which is the result Of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of theory" has become
Il misnomcr. A germ of a disease is a
plant. so small that | do not know how
t. express intelIigibly to the general
reader its lack Of size. When this germ
il introduced into the blood or tissues OF
the body, its action appears to be an
alogous to that which takes place when
Yeast is added to dough. 1t attacks
certain elements of the blood or tissues,
and destroys them, at the same time
producing new substances.
But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, Ct the IN
trctious and contagious diseases, will
develop OF increase in number without
icing in the body of a human being,
