Microbes on Post Cares.

The latest scare in microbes ha
been started by Professor Uffelman, o.
Rostock, who infected letter with
cholera bacilli and put it into q pos'
bag. When the letter was taken out,
twenty-three and half hours later,
the bacilli were still alive. Bacill
were also found living on post cardi
twenty hours after infection. The
heterogeneous were found to die
rapidly when placed upon coins. A
fly charged with cholera bacilli was
,fterward placed on some beef. A lit
tie later the meat was found to be
swarming with bacteria. A finger was
infected with cholera bacilli and
dried. One hour later the finger waa
rubbed on some roast meat, and nu.
merous bacilli developed subsequent

1t was stated last year that out of tho
10000 college men in this country and
Canada, $4,000 were church members,
and the remaining $4,000 were not.
Next statistics were furnished by the
Young Mems Christian Associations
established in some hundreds Of col
leges. Since that report, however, 36
new branches have been formed, giving
larger returns, though the average is
not so good. Three hundred and thirty
five college associations show that 32e

colleges which have associations and
about $4,000 are not There are said
to be altogether 100000 men in the in

proportion. there are probably $1,000

The Mint Bureau has completed it

THAT GELATTNE.

To dissolve gelatine is not SO easy n
matter as some cooks suppose. II the
gelatine is covered with water and
placed on the hearth or on the back
of the stove it will melt in fifteen or
twenty minutes; but in nine cases ont
of ten it will be strong favored and
will spoil whatever it is added to.
This is the reason that gelatine is not
fully appreciated by many housekeep
ers.
If the gelatine be soaked in cold
water for two or more hours, and then
have boiling water or milk poured on
it, il will dissolve Immediately, and
rarely will have taste or odor. Here
Is a good rule to follow:
Put box of gelatine in abowl, and
pour over it half pint of cold water.
Cover il and let it stand for two hours
or more. When ready to use it, add
half pint of boiling water or the
same quantity of boiling milk. Stir
for a lew minutes, and the gelatine
will be dissolyed.-New York World.

Every freight conductor on tn,

tell you that there is more freight
shipped to Chapel Hill than tc
any town Of twice its size on the
road. And while this may be ex,
planned in part by the fact that
for at least ten months in the
year, there are between four and
five hundred students TO be pre-.
vided for, it does not explain the
amount Of brick and lumber, sash,
doors, blinds and other building
material which is billed for this
erstwhile quiet and apparently
finished college town.
Strange as it may seem, Chapel
Hill is on a boom. Ifyou do not
believe it ask White Bros, Of

the other day. Those who have
made an excursion on Captain
Smiths train will appreciate this
joke-one Of our choicest-(two

him the REcoRDER, at the usual
rates, to put him to sleep while on
his way to and from University
Station, but he said he did not
take any paper-it took all of his
time to look after his train and
see that the passengers did not
Jump off. We then offered TO
throw in a box Of axle grease,
which he refused with scorn, ex.
planning that he liked music and
would not stand any monkey
work with his car wheels. And
the music is still on.
At the Kluttz hotel, where we
were pleasantly entertained, we
found about a hundred healthy
and consequently hungry students,
who spread desolation through an
acre Of custald pie at one sitting,
and who ate, like Milo the centu.

"GENTLEMEN AND FRIENDS
Yes, it is a fact that Mr.. Riley,
Mr.. Allen and | have rented this,
the old Farmers Warehouse, and
we have appointed to-day as the
time for launching our little leaf
tobacco craft. Mr.. Riley and |
Mr.. Allen / shall speak of later
are experienced engineers on such
craft, and by some might be con-
sidered experts, though, of course,
our extreme modesty will not al
low us to say this. Now, gentle
men, we are very desirous, | can
assure you, Of making a successful
trip Of this, our new enterprise.
While we are veterans in the
auctioneering department, yet as
proprietors it is something new
for us. Now If on our part ener-
Icy, push, prompt and honest deal
ling with our friends should tend
to accomplish this end, We assure
you, together with the approval
Of kind Providence and with the
aid and support of the Durham
Tobacco Board of Trade, and the
patronage of our many Farmer
friends, we feel safe in saying,
that we will run this craft clear
Of rocks, shoals and breakers, and
we trust, make a clean landing
on the beautiful beach of Pros
perity.
Just here | might as. well tell
you gentlemen that We expect to
sell our tobaccos straight from
our farmer and shipping friends,
Of course giving our "pinhookers'
carte blanche; in other words, we
do not expect to buy a load of to.
bacco at the barn doors, being e.
posed 10 this principle, and be-
Ilieye 10 detrimental 10 this or any
other market. However, We do
not object TO and Of our opponents

spect, and success to all of them
who think otherwise.
| Allow me now to introduce Mr..
Riley, engineer number two Of
this little craft. He is an sxpe-
rienced and safe runner, and
while steaming up this beautiful
stream may it never be necessary
for him to reverse his machinery
from any pecuniary impediments
ahead. While ascending this
stream--we trust Of prosperity
may we never have the misfortune
