The Microbe of Malaria.

An eminent physician, who has hal a
long experience in China and o'hcr coln-
tries whore malaria abounds, has given
some interesting facts aboUJ dc microbe
of malaria. He describes its form. habits
and the various stages through which it
passes; also its effect upon blood in which
II Is present in enormous numbers. DIR.
Manson has experimental with various
remedies, examining the blood after each
dose. He has found that quininc is the
best antimaarial known, the microbes
having decreased very rapidly as dose fol
lowed dose. lie says, however in this con
nection, that the practice of giving largo
quantities of quinine ON the superstition of
the existence of malaria Is n great mistake;
that there are other causes that give rise TO
similar symptoms, and for these quinne Is
not in the least indicated. DR.. Manson has
prepared microscope that reveals the
presence of the micrObe at once, provided
that the seeker after this little organism
knows what he is looking for, He declares
1t to be extremely easy to ind it, once the
student is properly instructed, In Wow Of

The NEW GIRL.
She Was Trine Surprised by What She
Heard

A new girl came to work on Buffalo
paper recently TO edo the society" Sho
was fresh from u Baptist seminary, but
she had n longing to be Of the world,
worldly. Especially was she ambitious to
interview actresses and know stage people.
The city editor finally gave her note Of
introduction to the manager Of " Tho Pink
Pig Comic Opera company, which is now
rchcarsing in this city.
Miss Jones went around to the thcatcr
last Sunday morning. Dress rehearsal
was in progress Tho manager was glad
to see her She had gushful, three col

her n seat down in front, aud the rehearsal
went on. 1t was the first time Miss Jones
had ever witnessed u thcat sical perform

She was now the entire audience.
And it was so different from what she
had expected Life on the boards was evil
IDENTIFY not all violets anS rose colorcd dis
cussions on art. Tho people on tIc stage
were coarse The priina donna and the
leading tenor were bandying low jcsts,
while the stage manager was impartially
swearing at everybody, without distlnc-
ton of sex.
Finally the manager approached How
are you enjoying it, Miss .JOncsH' he asked.
"Nory much indeed, " she faltcrcd this
being the first lie She had ever told.
"Well, come around behind and SEQ my
people," urged the urbanc manager. IL
think l may say without boasting that
have the most refined ladies in the profes-
sion"
Ard away they went to the women 5
dressing room. Such a scene the country
girl had never bchcld before The scanti-
ness of the costumes quito appalled, her.
And the girls didn't seem at wi to mind
the fact that stage hands wcro constantly
passing through tho room, but went on
composcdly with their robinR and disrob-
ing.
"Arcn't they superior lot of ladcs?'
asked the proud manager. Its seldom
you sec so much culture and Refinement
in the chorus Of comic opera company.
Miss Jones had nothing to say but the
manager didnt seem to mind that. He
ratified on in laudation of his company

What's wrong, Flossic?" asked the
colonel. "Your dress seems to be all

There has been introduced Of late for uso
by the French army, it is reported, what is
known as the lunerte Souchard-that is, q
powerful binocular glass for determining
the exact distance of an object from tho
observer. When the glass is in focus there
are interpreted by movement of the fin
gers between the eye and the object two
prisms Of Iceland spar; then there aro
brought into the field Of vision two images,
the one being tho real object the other n
smoky facsimile in line with and at tho
rear of it, the second image being more Gle
waited as the distance is greater The oh
ject which serves for the adjustment of the
glass is either "A soldier of ordinary stature
or one on horseback. II the head Of the
real image reaches to the shoulder of the
facsimile he is distant just 300 meters,
80 5-S inches to the meter; if to the waist
of the image 600 meters; ii to the knees
1000 meters; If the feet of the image ap
parently rest on the head Of the soldier the
distance is exactly |, 400 meters; II there
is n space between the feet of the one and
