A WAR-TIMES PANIC.
How Smoky Henderson's Company of
Desperate Men Ran for Dear Life.

The other day group of Confeder-
ate veterans sat on the gallery of the
Beach Hotel, and the conversation
drifted from the interment Of Jefferson
Davis to "reminiscences of the war be-
tween the States One old fellow told
of a regiment that became panic strick-
en- while the men were at dinner, and
tore down tents and everything else in
their frantic endeavors to get away, al
though there was not a Federal soldier
within fifty miles of them at the time
"The men just got scared and broke,
That was all there was to it," said the
veteran. Nobody knew what started
it, and nobody stopped to ask what
started it. 1t beat anything ever
saw"
"The worst panic | saw during the
war was right here in Texas, " exclaimed
DIR. S, c. Young, 8" 1t was a panic
about three miles long and about two
miles wide, and it spread all over the
prairie for the best part OF five hours,

The Germ Scare.

This is the germ age. That is to say
the public are continually agitated over
the idea that they must be on the look
out for germs of various kinds. The
germ theory of disease is no doubt founded
on facts, Tor germs are facts-very stub
born things to deal with. But is it not
just as likely that health is promoted by
germs and that the human body is made
up of germs some departing and others
coming in their places2 This germ scare
is becoming very tiresome. People will
soon be afraid to open their mouths for
dread of breathing bacilli, or closing them
in terror lest they should keep in what
ought to go out. Everything eaten will
have to be boiled or fried to death, and
nervous folks will be made to feel as
though they had bacilli crawling all over
them. Milk is said to be full OF germs
and the public are warned that many
diseases are caused by drinking impure
milk, which may be true, but it does not
follow that drinking milk as a rule is
productive of disease.
The latest announcement comes from
the London Lancet, which is an authority
on many important medical matters. It
is that bacilli abound in butter, and that
when a person eats a slice of bread and
butter he swallows more organisms than
there are people in Europe. Some one
will say the remedy for that is to eat only
the very best butter. Alasl that will not
do at all. The purest butter, we are
told, contains the most bac1lli. Now,
what are we to do with our butter? bake
it, or boil it, or fry it or throw it away?
If these scientific people keep on with
their microscopic and germ theory inves
LEGATIONS and the public pay attention to
all that is said about it, there will be no
eating, drinking, breathing or living for
fear of bacilli. The most sensible thing
to do in the premises is to reject spoiled
or tainted food, but pay no attention to
the scares which faddy folks spring upon
credulous humanity. The probability is
that all animal and vegetable bodies are
made up of infinitesimal organisms and
if there were no germs there would be no
animal life
