Bullets and Bacteria.

1t seems as though bullet in its
swift passage through the air is the
last thing that would gather bacteria
to itself, and yet this is what DR..
Mesmer has shown. He made his
experiments by shooting into tin
boxes from distanc of 900 or 1000
feet, the boxes containing a gelatin
medium that is used for the growing
and development of microbes. When
noninfected and ordinary bullets
were used the gelatin developed
such germ life as the air contains.
He made trials with bullets that had
been infected with germs of partic-
ular kind. The tracks of the bullets
through the gelatin were scrutinized
with the result that in each case
germ growth took place correspond
ing with the particular microbes with
which the bullets had been infected.
In one series of experiments the
bullets were made to pass through
infected fannels before penetrating
the gelatin, the bullets being of the
ordinary kind. In this case the mi
crobic growths appeared in the gela-
tin, showing that the flannel had
yielded up its microbes to the bullets
as they traversed it. These facts
show that the bullet is germ carrier
of a very decided kind, and that if
clothing be penetrated by a bullet
prior to its entrance into the tissues
the missile will be liable to carry
into the wound it makes the bacteria
resident on the clothes. Brooklyn

Not Gambling.

In a portion of tribe of the west

The Two Pairs of Fetters,

Some years ago a fierce war waged
in India between the English and
Tippoo Sahib. On one occasion sew
eral English officers were taken pris-
oners; among them was one named
Baird. One day native officer
brought in fetters to be put on each
of the prisoners, the wounded not ex-
cepted. Baird had been severely
wounded and was suffering from pain
and weakness. A gray haired officer
said to the native official:
"You will not think of putting
chains upon that wounded man2"
There are just as many pairs OF
fetters as there are captives," was
the answer, land every pair must be
worn"
"Then," said the noble officer, put
two pairs on me. Twill wear his as
well as my own"
This was done. Strange to say,
Baird lived to regain his freedom
lived to take the city, but his noble
friend died in prison. This was in
deed a noble act-to bear heavy
burden for another, which that Other
could not bear for himself.-New
York Advertiser.

A COlored Woman's White Rats.

If the Pied Piper of Hamelin should
ever take it into his head to pay
Washington a visit, he would find
that he had Il rival already installed
here and the field fully occupied.
The rival in question is Sarah Baker,
acolored woman who lives in George
town, near the junction of Congress
street and the canal She raises white
rats, not for sale or profit, but mere
ly for the love of the rats. Her room,
where she and her four footed, long
tailed proteges reside, is queer
apartment, filled up with cages, piled
one over the other, and scores If not
hundreds of the pink eyed, snowy
furred rodents, making up such u rat
full vision as would ruin the trade of
the best saloon i'll Washington if the
customers had to pass through it on
their way after a drink.
The rats are all the descendants of
two or three pairs that were given to
a woman a year or two ago. They
multiplied and increased, and declin
ing to kill any of them Mrs. Baker
provided new cages as the rats filled
up their old quarters, until now it
takes her the better part of her spare
time to feed and attend to the wants
Of her file tailed family.
The rats all know her and will
come to the front of their cages and
take food from between her lips, or
if given the liberty of the room some
of the corpulent old fellows will sit
upright on the palm of her hand and
wash their faces and comb out their
whiskers with the gravity of a bur
eomaster. Washington Post.

Curious Shellhsh.

The limpets are curious kind of
shellfish. They resemble the aba
lones in their habits. Their interior
is made of the most brilliant colors,
bronze and iridescent hues predom-
mating. They are found on the west
coast of Mexico and are SO large that
the people use them for washbasins.
This has been contradicted by the as
sertion that the greasers never wash
and compared with Mark Twain's
remark about the Marseillaise-that
they made the best soap in the world
and were the authors of the famous
song but as a matter of fact the Mar
seillaise never sing and do not use
soap.
The limpets are ferocious animals
and prey with great voracity on
CLANS. The process seems slow, but
the limpet always gets there. He
gets his cover over the unsuspecting
clam and puts his big foot on his
shell, generally ON weak spot.
Tnen he whips out a long wiry
tongue and proceeds to bore hole
in his captive. When this is done,
the shell flies open, and the limpet is
free to feast on the poor CLAIMS car
cass He eats but part and leaves
the rest for the fishes of the sea.

The Birds Christmas sheaf.

In Norway distinctive and very
pretty feature of Christmas feasting
is the provision made for the birds.
Great is the joy of the children when
carts, laden with grain in the sheaf,
come into every town, and each fam
lily invests in a sheaf, which on
Christmas day is brought forth by
the father, fastened to a pole and
erected at some convenient corner Of
the house that the birds may share
the good cheer. Not that the birds
are forgotten at other times. Minia-
ture wooden houses are fastened to
the caves or to trees in the gardens,
and therein is kept a store of grain
for the solace of the birds all through
the winter, but this sheaf is quite an
extra treat. Western Mail.

A Story OF Gladstone.

Mr.. Gladstone, as rule, is the
model of punctuality at dinner time,
both as host and guest. He,
however, when staying at the house
of one of his wealthiest supporters,
recently made baronet, in the
neighborhood of Norwich, Mr.. Glad
stone did for once keep both his host
and the other guests waiting in the
drawing room for several minutes
after the servant had announced
dinner. AT last the premier entered
the room, smiling and rubbing his
hands benevolently. Looking all
around, he inquired in most genial
tones, "Are we all mustered2" AS
the host happened to have accumu-
lated large fortune by the manu-
facture of mustard those present were
for a moment inclined to unjustly
suspect our revered premier of per-
petrating pun at his entertainers
expense.-London Court Journal.

An Amateur Highwayman.

The late Professor Wilson went
once to spend his holidays at Castle
ton manse as the guest of one of his
favorite old students, the Rev. Angus
Barton. When out fishing one day,
he met in lonely part three border
gypsies, who ordered him to stand and
deliver. AS he declined, the gypsies
thought to use force. He was, how
ever, one of the best boxers of the
day, and as they came on he knocked
them down one by one. He then or
dered them each to turn out his pock

Tenacity With Which One Now England
Town Clings to Old Customs.
Marblehead, that curious Massa-
chusetts fishing town, which has fig
ured so sturdily in every war in New
England's history, is famous for the
rough dialect, quaint expressions and
unfettered independence Of its peo-
pie. Here some queer old time Gus
toms prevail that have died away
elsewhere in the United States.
"My business OBTAINING me in Mar
blehead for few days one Novem-
ber," said a commercial traveller,
my perusal Of the Boston paper was
interrupted the first evening by
tremendous blowing Of horns and
beating of drums and tin pans in the
street. Looking out Of the window,
I saw long line Of boys and girls
marching down the street in double
file, carrying torches. Their faces
were blackened; they were clad in
long, white gowns, and as they shout
ed and performed antics the towns
people, who had turned out to view
the procession, applauded the specta-
Gle. This strange procession paraded
up and down through the town until
bedtime. All the while huge bon
fires, part of the celebration, were
blazing down near the waters edge.
upon inquiring as to the meaning
of this weird spectacle, Learned that
the children were carrying out their
annual custom of celebrating what
is known to them as 'Pope's Night.
It is doubtful if any Of them ever
heard of Guy Fawkes or the gunpow-
der plot, but they know that the
evening of Nov. is legitimate
time for them to indulge in all sorts
of mischief. The town was settled
in 1929, just "a years after the expo
sure of Guy Fawkes' conspiracy, by
people from the islands of Jersey and
Guernsey and from the west of Eng
land. The first corners undoubtedly
brought this quaint celebration across
the Atlantic to their new home, and
it has survived to be observed today,
more than $50 years after the found
ing of the town. New York Sun.

His Experience With Ouinine.

It doesn't do for novice to fool
with drugs of whose effects upon his
system he is in ignorance. A slight
cold troubled a young man the other
day. He had heard much Of the
grip, and also that quinine was an
excellent preventive if not curative.
On advice of a friend he invested in
a dozen pills and before retiring that
night swallowed five-10 grains in
all. The following morning he was
completely unnerved. His hands
actually shook, his legs were shaky,
and his voice even was affected. His
head-well, that was indescribable.
1t did not lessen his discontinue to
be told that a beginner should take
the drug in homeopathic doses. But
he has learned by experience.-Phila-

Modelling In Clay Dangerous.

Modelling in clay, which was pop
ular fad in schools two or three
years ago, has been generally aban-
doned. 1t was found that where
large numbers of children, each after
the other, handled the same clay the
skin diseases of one were commu-
nicated to all. There is really no in
struction in art gained by teachers
amusing their pupils i'll this way.
The younger scholars like it, but it is
better to let them find their amuse-
ment in the mud pies which they
will make without any instruction
That kind of play may not be good
for the clothes, but it never injured
health. American Cultivator.

Meissonier as u Portrait Painter.


Meissonier admitted that he would
not have made good portraitist by
profession, for with few exceptions
he had succeeded only with sitters
whom he liked and knew well. He
was not satisfied with painting things
as he saw them; he had to under
stand how they came to have such
or such an appearance. Though he
claimed to remember every draw
ing that he had made, he also
claimed that he did not reduce his
knowledge to general formule. BE
fore nature, l know nothing in ad-
vance'-not even, it appears, what
size he was going to make his pic
ture or how much he was going to
include in it. This is the reason that
many of his drawings and some of
his paintings have been extended in
one direction or another by bands Of
paper or of canvas glued on. Melsso-
nier had a strong dramatic imagina-
ton and an uncommon sense of har-
mony, yet they were both OCCASION
ally smothered by this devotion to
literal fact.-Art Amateur.

Dutch window.

You impatiently scale six or seven
square inches of ice from the window
of the room which looks upon the
street and seek diversion in the out
er scenes The houses of trim red
and yellow brick, with their staircase
gables, cloaked precisely in nice
white snow, upon which the pallid
gold of the January sunlight shines
mildly, are pretty enough to behold.
Quite likely, too, as you peer forth
you meet the eyes of q chubby, SYM
pathetic Dutch maiden or full blown
citizeness in her room opposite.
The lady, you perceive, has re-
treat as snug and congenial as can be.
The tall forms of subtropical plants
flank her at the window-unfailing
indications that the temperature Of
her room is very agreeable She has
also a subtle arrangement of mirrors
outside the window, 30 that sitting by
the double panes she can see great
deal of what happens in the street
both ways.
No wonder the dear soul is able to
meet your gaze with an expression of
serene self satisfaction that is never
unbecoming, and which in your sit
uation enhances to you such beauty as
she may possess. = All the Year

Sugar at Retail.

Grocers assert everywhere that
there is little or no profit in retailing
sugars, and housekeepers confirm
this by saying that there is small
economy in buying sugar by the keg.
The tradition touching the small
profit in handling sugar at retail Is
certainly more than 100 years old,
for a writer in the middle of last CEN
tury affirmed that London grocers of
that day were often out $50 to f7O
year for paper and pack thread used
in wrapping up sugar, and some
grocers would not sell sugar to Gus
toner who did not at the same time
purchase some other article.-Chica-

Made a Man of Him.

Here is beautiful and true story,
full Of pathos and suggestion: A fam
ily man discovered once upon time
that he was being robbed of small
sums of money. At length, one
night, a slight noise in the room
awakened him. He opened his eyes
quickly to see a small figure creep
past the bed to the chair where his
coat lay. It took out his pocketbook,
distracted bill and stole silently
away. He recognized his own son, a
little boy. The next day the father
called the child to him. II have been

I shall want your help in my money
affairs. am going to make you my
treasurer, if you will do that for me.
Here is my purse. 1t has $50 in 1t.
Now, when want to pay for any
thing at the house I shall come to

transfer the pilfering ceased. The
boy became an honorable and honest
man.-New York Mail and Express.
