Value Of the Germ Theory.

The germ theory of disease has
been turned to practical applications
of the most varied nature, and of the
most far-reaching Importance to
every people under the sun. Point.

recent years in the origin and devel.
opment Of disease, i'm an address be.

citation, John Simon, very high
medical authority, said 81 venture
to say that in the records of human
industry it would be impossible To
point to work of more promise to the
world than these various contribu-
tions to the knowledge of disease and
OF its cure and prevention" This
wonderful germ theory owes its origin
to the study of the purely scientific
question Of spontaneous generation.
The study Of the great questions OF
heredity, now occupying so much at
tention among biologists, will surely
lead, sooner or later, to practical ap-
plications Of no less moment to the
human race than those based on the

A Singular Spring.

Zone of the most singular springs
l ever saw" said ID. l.. Spratt to the
corridor man at the Laclede, 'is on
the top of Mount Mitchell. 1t is on
the summit, and is clear and cold. 1t
has never been known to go dry, and
is seemingly without bottom, as
lines have been dropped down to a
great depth. AS Mount Mitchell is
the highest peak Of the Alleghenies
and the nearest mountain Of greater
altitude is in Colorado, about 1000
miles distant, the query naturally
arises as to the source of this spring.
1.-THE only conclusion is that it is a
siphon spring, but if so, the water
flows at least 1000 miles and under
innumerable rivers and streams,
under prairies ard under mountains
until it reaches the peak, where it
forces it's way through fissure on
the top. The water is remarkably
clear and pure and shows no trace of
its having encountered any minerals
during its long journey, although
minerals are found on every side of
the place where it arises to the sur
face. j have never heard any salts

The season of "didn't-know- was
loaded" is on. 1t was opened the
other evening at Decatur. Sitting
down to a game Of cards In the home
of his fiancee young man took from
his pocket a revolver and, extracting
what he supposed to be all OF the
cartrides, laid it on the table, jocose-
ly remarking that it should be used
on the first one who quarreled. A
play made by the girl was questioned.
Recalling his former remark she jok-
ingly pointed the weapon at the
young mans head; there was an ex-
plosion and her partner at cards and
intended husband was dead on the
floor. Neither "knew it was loaded"
Human understanding cannot account
for the desire, strong in some people,
to carry a revolver. Much less can it
account for the uncomfortable pas
sion to STOOL" with it. There was no
more reason for the young man to
carry pistol than to wear armor or
to wheel around with him a Hotch-
kiss gun. The sorrow which his deed
has brought on the girl will doubtless
serve, in her case at least, as an ever
lasting warning not to play with a
revolver, loaded or unloaded.

was formed last November. Under
this combine no threshing is to be
done at less than 5 cents bushel for
wheat and 81 cents for oats. The
plan of the farmers is to cooperate
in each neighborhood, number Of
farmers uniting in buying machine
and exchanging works in managing
and running it. There will, how
ever, be a necessity for employing
some one skilled in managing the
thresher and running the engine. In
most eastern localities the business
of threshing is overdone. So many
engage in it as rapid way to earn
money that the season does not last
loyg. BY the time the machine and
engine are paid for both are nearly
worn out The threshing outfit costs
6 good deal more than it used to do,
and prices for threshing as well as
the prices Of grain have generally de-
clined below paying rates.

PEOPLE who notice the increasing
diffusion Of knowledge among young
women Of the humble class and the
steady advance in wages commanded
by good servants sometimes wonder
what posterity will do for servants.
The wonder is gratuitous. The ten
dency Of mankind is to flock to the
spots where life is easiest and most
agreeable. The migration will go on
till such places are overcrowded.
Then the supply of labor will be in
excess Of the demand, wages will fall,
and the number of competitors for
each vacant place will swell. In
other woIds, the tide which began to
flow when prosperity befell this coun-
try will ebb, in consequence of the
superabundance of persons who seek
to share that prosperity.

THE habit OF giving aims in money
TO unknown applicants at houses or
on the streets Is one that ought not
to be encouraged. 1t is true there is
q good deal of distress at the present
time, but it Is taken ADVANTAGE OF by
persons who never have done any
work, and make the temporary pow
erty of the industrious their ex use
for begging. There are in most To-
calities organizations for the proper
distribution of charity. BY giving
through such organizations the money
contributed will b, made to reach
only those who are deserving.

A DECISION by the Supreme Court

A DECISION by the Supreme Court
OF Minnesota concerning commit
ment OF alleged insane persons
should be gratefully welcomed by
the people OF that State instead OF
being made subject Of censure, The
court holds that notice must be
given prior to judgment In commit
ments-under tte law for Enclosure OF
the insane. The present law makes
1t easy for conniviug or ignorant
persons to railroad obnoxious people
into an insane asylum. The court
holds that evidence must be pre-
sented in open court, a requirement
now. practically universal In pre-
limlnary procedure touching insanity.
The wonder is that the Legislature
of Minnesota should have given the
Supreme Court Of the State cause
for rendering a judgment so plainly
necessary and so clearly just.

PATENT COMMISSIONER SEYMOUR
has under consideration the publica-
tion of lists OF patents that have ex-
pired within the past few years.
Such publication will open many
valuable inventions that now belong
to any who desire touse them. Large
enterprises keep posted as to the
time patents expire, but the informa-
ton ought to be made as public as
possible. 1t is also proposed to make
the patenting Of articles more SIM
pie, giving one patent with as many
specifications as it devolves Of new
ideas, instead Of granting separate
patent for each idea. This will di-
minish the cost Of getting out pat
ents, reduce their number and make
1t much easier to keep track of them.

lately seen. For nearly.gfour years
those two have been estranged, and
many time the young Emperor has
needed the help and advice of the

many an empire but whom he was

IN less than month after the
fatal bomb was thrown in the French
Chamber Of Deputies the murderous
bomb-thrower, valiant, was exc
cuted. There was no precipitation.
Every step leading to the guillotine
was decorous and according to law.
At first it was mystery who threw
the bomb, and then, after the man
had been discovered and identified,
he was given every reasonable oppor-
tunity to defend himself. France
sets herein good example to Amer
lea. Justice is largely defeated in
its effect by unnecessary delay. The
man Valiant was typical anarchist.
He had no excuse whatever for his
act. He threw that bomb in the hope
OF killing some Of the national law
makers, and that solely upon the the
DRY that to do such murder would tend
to the disintegration of society, and
that such dislntegration is the funda-
mental need of the people. This is
alike preposterous in its premise and
its conclusion. The largest possible
destruction by that bomb would have
simply been personal calamity, hav-
ing no effect upon the fabric of So
ciety The only question from the
first was the measure of punishment
capital or imprisonment for life.
The man valiant reasoned well on
this point. He said that IL he had
been sentenced to imprisonment for
life he would probably have been par
doned out some time, and then he
would have gone to making bombs
again.

the more familiar custom of the pc

dition of the mother country"
THERE is a peculiar case Of infatu-
alton between rooster and two cats,
to be witnessed at Alton, Ill. They
all belong to the keeper of o livery
stable, and for some time the rooster,
which is large fowl of the Shanghai
breed, was afraid OF the cats. But a
friendly feeling grew to exist between
them, and this finally ripened into a
case of love. They are inseparable !;
the rooster will conduct himself just
as he would il escorting two hens
about. He will find worm or grain
Of corn, call the cats, and then eat it
himself as naturally as though he had
never associated with anything but
cats. The felines, upon the other
hand, will follow him around, roll
over and play with him, and in every
possible way demonstrate that his
affection is reciprocated. The rooster
sleeps on the edge of feed box and
the cats rest together in the box.
The strange friendship has existed
for some time past and exhibits no
signs Of abatement.
