what 1 mean. Green street in Augusta
constitutes the principal business street,
and at either end of the business thor
oughfare is market in the center of the
street. Twas strolling through one of these
market houses when / noticed a very old
man with an Anticipated hat from which
all the nap except few struggling threads
of silk had been brushed, wide shaker, a
broadcloth suit buttoned to the throat
and carefully darned at the elbows and
around the binding, and carrying gold
headed cane. He walked with an air Of
dignity, while at his heels trotted a bare
footed, ragged pickanniny. He went to
meat stall, and in tones of unconscious
patronage said, Give me cents worth
of round steak, sir. The meat was wrap
ped up, and the old man searched his
pockets, the expression of his face show
ing the greatest modification. Il did have
dime, sir, he said. The dime was found,
and after receiving nickel in change the
old man handed the meat and the nickel
to the little darby, who trudged home be-
hind the old man. 1t was little thing,
but it contained Il whole biography of that
mans life to those who knew the customs
of the old time southern aristocracy."

The duties of public executioner in

has been replaced by scaffold on which

their imposing helmets plumed with
horsehair, is drawn up about the place
of execution, which they gravely guard

executioner mounts the steps, nails up

Barry O'Brien's Canard.

The Speaker, weekly literary organ
of liberalism, endeavors to create a po-
litical sensation by announcing the dis
covery of grand new Tory scheme. The
design is to dish the Home Rulers by the
establishmentof five great national coun-
ellis, two for England and one each for
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with the
endowment of an Irish Catholic univer-
sity. The Speaker further declares that
the scheme has been submitted to the
leaders of the Irish Nationalist parties.
Probably this pretty story has been ca
bled to America with ashow of authority.
There are signs that it set politicians here
talking freely. Therefore it is neces-
sary to say that the whole thing is fan
tastic fake. The proud author is Barry

of several books on Irish politics which
Gladstone has praised.-London Letter.

FACTS ABOUT DISEASE GERMS.
The strangest of the ''True Fairy Tales" q
ModtzHn Scianca.


The strangest of the .'True Fairy Tales OF
Modem Science.
Among the we'll known diseases whose
bacterial origin is already placed beyond
reasonable doubt are erysipeias, tubercu-
losis, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid fever,
croupous pneumonia and influenza. The
facts discovered regarding some of these
during the past Is years are among the
strangest of the true fairy tales of mod
ern science For example, the micrococcus
of croupous pneum onia, as discovered by
DIR. Sternberg, turks in the mouth and Is

Vitality of the system, as from exposure to

abode in the lungs and begin develop
ment whose results will be manifest in an
Inflammation of those organs. Again, 1t
appears that the bacillus OF tetanus, or
lockjaw, is abundant everywhere in the
soil and may rest on the surface OF the
human body or be taken into the stomach
without producing injury. Even on the
surface Of an open wound it cannot devel-
op, it being one of the bacteria that can
not grow in the presence of free oxygen.
But if introduced into deeper wound
| away from the air 1t may develop rapidly
and produce the painful and often fatal
disease tetanus. Thus is explained the
| fact, always before mystery, that even
| slight and seemingly insignificant pune
ture wounds are more likely to produce
| this disease than are open LESSONS that
otherwise are far more serious.
| 1t is an interesting and highly suggest

ance of the human body under normal
conditions, that a bacterium capable OF
producing such disease as this may be
SO abundant all about us and yet so infre-
| quently find opportunity for malignant ac-
tivity. But the same thing appears to be
| true in greater OF less degree of all the
other bacteria that may develop in the hui
| man body. Even when introduced into the
body they are harmless, unless they find
the conditions there favorable to their de-
velopment. Thus there are probably very
| few persons who have not at one time OF
another inhaled the bacillus of tuberculo-
sis or its spores, but the lungs of only the
relatively few furnish favorable soil fol-
! its development. These susceptible per
sops develop the disease. The others are
said to be immune as regards this partic-
ular bacillus. But susceptibility and i'm.

whose tissues at one time resist the mi
crobe may at another time succumb to it
The exact nature of the inherent vital
ity'' which we are accustomed to speak 81
as giving the tissues power to resist the

as our ancestors understood the real cause
of the contagious diseases. Perhaps the
microscope will help to enlighten us in
this regard in the next half century,

A RARE OCCURRENCE.
Mr.. Eckenrode's Eel Catch Almost Impair
aIleled In the Annals of Fishing.

Mr., Eckenrode's Eel Catch Almost Impair
aIieied In the Annals of Fishing.
A remarkable haul of cells was made
the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode, who
was fishing along the Tulpehocken.
There is variety of cells known as the
tandem eel, which is very seldom found
in this state, though common in the west.
A popularity of this variety is that they
travel, when migrating, single file, about
six inches apart, and maintain that dis
lance exactly during the time of their
progress. If one of the lot shoots ahead
too rapidly, the one following immedi-
ately grasps him by the tail in order to
drag him back to his proper place in the
line. They appear to have remarkable
instinct for distance, and the variation
of an inch will cause the rear eel to ex-
ercise his authority to put the brakes on
the one ahead.
While Mr.. Eckenrode was fishing he
hooked one of the travellers, a very re-
markable circumstance, as they seldom
bite while migrating. As soon as he had
hooked it he of course gave haul on the
line, which caused this particular eel to
shoot ahead. He was Immediately
grasped by the one following, and as
that one likewise shot ahead the next one
did the same, so that when Mr.. Ecken-
rode began to haul out he found solid
rope of cells. Dropping his rod and line,
he grasped the living rope and began to
haul in hand over hand. He kept haul
ing in and piling up the cells until he
was utterly exhausted, when he was
obliged to stop and cut the connection.
He quickly ran for assistance. and a
number of the neighbors came to help
him take care of his rare catch. When
they were all gathered up and loaded on
wagons, it was found that he had S75
pounds. About $50 worth were sent to
the Reading market, and the rest were
distributed among his neighbors.
The news of his remarkable catch has
spread all over the upper part OF the
county, and a great many fishermen have
been endeavoring to repeat it, but with
out success, since, according to natural
lists, an occurrence of this sort is one Of
the rarest in fishing. Reading Herald.

A Time When Feminine Styles Were Pre-

ferred by Men.
In point Of fact, the early medieval
man and woman looked as much alike as
the fin de steele wheelman and his BIZ
CYCLE girl. Take the king and queen in
q pack of cards. They are early media-
val Notice the surprising similarity
in their costumes-the same wide robes
and angular folds, the same stained
glass stiffness. Novices at cards may be
excused for being at loss sometimes,
at least until they have learned to look
for the kings beard.
With the wane of the age of ohivalry
there came singular exaggeration In
the toilet of men. They deliberately
initiated the women. They allowed
their hair to grow long, cultivated curls
by the hot irons and ointments and ac-
tually wore ohaplets, like diadems, to
curb their flowing locks. In the texture
and color of their garments they showed
the same effeminacy, for they began to
affect brilliant reds and blues and to
wear costly trimmings and jewelry.
This, too, was the age of the signing,
wailing lover, fainting at his mistress
frown. Every knight who could write
or sing posed as minstrel and re-
hearsed his love affairs. At every gath
ering of the nobility there was child
ish prattle of love, cloying and monoto-
nous for very sweetness. The sexes
seemed to have changed places. 1t was
the lover who was shy wallflower,
