Not long ago somebody experimental
with dust gathered from various places 10
search for microbes. The dust from city
street, that gathered from the sweeping Of
g hospital ward, some taken from street
car at the end Of q tdp--these accumula-
tions and more were examined with start
ling results. What struck terror 10 the
heart Of the house mother was the state
ment in connection with all this investiga-
tion that rug could not be shaken, q cur
tain busted out or q carpet brushed in her
domain without raising q cloud Of organ
isms more OF less injurious to the family
health. The innocent pastine Of parlor
dancing was inveighed against as treading
ont disease germs, and the final sweeping
assertion made that it was impossible 10
make carpet clean in hygienic sense,
The London Lancet, however, comes to
the rescue. That authority pronounces
carpet microbes not to be feared. The air
of wholesome, well kept house Is not on
sweeping day the cpoison laden atmosphere
which is depicted Dust Is found In car
pets and microbes are found In dust, but
all dust Is not 40 impregnated, and II y
to assume that most dust found In
carpets Is harmless.

It is known fact among physicians,
nurses and those generally interested in
the restoration Of health that che per-
certage Of women among the middle and
upper classes who retire early is alarm
ingiy small The term "alarmingly" ~
used adyisetny, because the growing tend
ency TO keeplatc hours cheats Nature out Of
her just dues and compels her to retaliate
in manner that often threatens not only
health, but life, most seriously There are
few women so constituted but chat the
wear and tear Of daily life consumes to u
great extent their vitality, which can only
be restored by means Of perfect repose.
Especially are long, unbroken hours Of
rest necessary for wives and mothers, all Of
whom are giving Of their strength unre-
servedly and getting little physically in re-
turn save that which is derived from sleep.
The growing tendency Of the age toward
physical culture training rs not well sus-
tanned In the late hours so universally kept
by many Of the most enthusiastic adyo-
Gates Of that movement. Those who earn
estly desire to use the most effective means
at hand for the preservation Of health and
beauty should not fail TO keep early hours.

In South America the banana is not
thought Of as luxury In fact it takes
the place OF bread and meat and vegetables
among a large part of the people. Every
garden has its banana patch, just as we
have our Indispensable rows Of potatoes.
ON the isthmus Of Pnnama the cars spin
past hills covered from base TO summit
with the beautiful broad leaved plants,
their great clusters Of fruit hanging from
the stems Just under the leaves The ba-
mana plant looks somewhat like an inn
mense calla lily. Its stem is made up Of
the bases OF the leaves, sosheathed or fold
ed around each other and hardened as to
sustain the weight of the mass Of foliage
above.
1t will in some localities attain height
Of even twenty feet When two years old
1t bears fruit and then dies, but number
Of young shoots spring up from the base Of
the old stem, 50 that ii continually renews
itself, and the farmer, who is usually an
Indian or negro, has no trouble, except to
keep the weeds and the old dwithered trunks
cleared away from the growing plants.
Even the trunk is Of some use, for il con
tains O fiber almost as soft as silk which
can be woven into the most exquisite mus
Inns. Indeed some of the dainty India
muslins are made OF this very fiber

There was time when parrots were
regarded in India and elsewhere as
sacred, and anybody who dared to in
jure one OF them was regarded as guilty
Of dreadful crime, 1t Is true that
since then they have fallen somewhat
from their high estate, and that in this
more degenerate e.age the common Anna
zon parrot has been shot in great num-
bers in the eastern parts OF Brazil for
the prosaic purpose of making n particu-
lar kind Of soup to which the natives
are partial. while the naturalist wakes
quite eloquent when he sounds the
praises Of parakeet pie.
But in our own country, though wo
do not 60 either to the one extreme Of
holding them sacred or to the other ex-

When the Germans md DIR. Arnold dis
posed of Romulus and Remus and their
nurse, who was more genial form Of Red
Ridinghoods grandmother, all fairy land
was in danger, aud since then the whole
realm Of poetic story has been invaded
Hawthorne's wonder Bnok" would now
have to be rewritten for its wonders have
been reduced from poetry to prose, Even
the faithful Lempriere is left alrift as
doubtful as Herodotus. The lahors of
Hercules are assailed, and the sea birth OF
Venus is no longer certain. The names,
too, are changing. There vast time when
1t was enough TO call the queen Of Jupiter,
Juno, and the god of the sea Neptune.
But it is to be antiquated and obsolete not
to adopt the latest court address of Here
and Ppseidon.
The reasons are profuse They are az
many as those for closing the old Arabian
Nights told as English stories and sub
stituting the more erudite Lane version,
Nobody Is safe in relying upon the earlier
lessons which were wholly satisfactory to
his ancestors. What seemed to be the

An amusing instance of the expedi-
ents resorted to by men summoned to
attend as common jurymen in order TO
avoid serving in that capacity occurred
recently. One morning u little girl
whose eyes just peered above the desk
timidly exclaimed;
please sir, father can't come; he can't
put on his boots,
The judge asked tho nervous little
creature what was the matter with her
parent. She hesitated Evidently she
had not been instructed further than the
statement she had made, and looking
straight into the Judges eyes saidi
"Well, sir, father don't wear boots;

One Of the delicate delights Of the
street band is its propensity to scent out
household musicales, In nothing, ap-
parently, do these wandering musicians
80 much delight as to spring into blat-
ant strains before the house from which
issues the voice Of song or tho modest
music of the pianoforte. They carry
the day or rather the night evory time;
for while they can play through and
over and above anything, It would take
aself possessed and steady norved house
hold performer to hold his own or her
own against such rivalry. And then
they ring the bell and extend the haiti
Boston Commonwealth.
