Louis Pasteur.

In the death OF Pasteur there passes
away = life that was not merely useful
In the ordinary sense. but one that
marks distinct epoch in the proGress
Of human knOwledge; says the New
York World. He has solved some of
the most important problems ever pre-
sented to either vulgar or scientific in
quiry, and solved them in . way that
fertilizes the future.
He has done what not one man In fifty
millions, the world around, has done
taught US how to conquer one horrible
disease, and yet that instruction Ii In
effect the least Of his labos.
His actual discoveries In the study of
hydrophobia, anthrax and the silk worm
disease. and In the fermentation Of beer
and wins. were Of great practical value,
each had tlse scientific merit that while
II taught the specific nature OF the evils
attacked II also made clear the way Of
prevention. But these studies and the
coRnate studies to which they gave rise.
the clue they gave to certain mysteries
Of nature; did more than has been done
In very many past centuries towards
opening the way to wonderful advances
In the study OF medicine.
From the beginning OF thought In the
healing art there has been kept before
the human intelligence the persistent
problem, what Is disease?" And this
was not an idle inquiry. because the
radical aud effective remedy for an evil
dOws from an intimate and precise
knowledge OF Its nature, ,as is evidence In
Pasteur's method for preventing in the
body OF any victim the development of
the results of the hydroph0bia poison
The early medical inst inct saw the Inn
portance Of the problem. bat until our
own time there were never any but very
silly answers.
Upon that important theme all the
labors Of Pasteur directly bore, and II
they have been as fertile in the iabous OF
others that were inspired by his en-
deav0rs as In his own, . great part Of oil
the glory Is yet his. Today the nature
OF all the zym0tic diseases 10 compare
lively .clear. OF phthisis, cholera,
diptheria, typhus. typhoid and scarlet
fevers, intermittent fever, the plague
and 80 on, we know that all their symp.
toms, and the fatal results when they
are fatal, are due to the irritation and
exhaustion consequent upon the devel
opment in our bodies of myriads OF
Infinitely little organisms that grow and
flourish in our tissues as parasites. W.
also know the different organisms which
prOduoe specifically certain diseases
and we have such indications of how tC
deal with them as put the healing art
upon sure and scientific basis as TO al
these maladies.
Besides the advantage to humanity
that has thus come out Of the labOrs Ol
this simple democratic son Of a French
tanner how the achievements and glOriel
OF all the alleged great men dwindl,
into wOrthlessness Any ten Thousand
kings that ever lived might be takel
out Of human history and not chang,
the result in any really important way
but IL you should take out Of the stOr,
this one little Frenchman you wOul'
make an enormous and calamitOu
lchange.

LOudOn's People.

The London county council has just
issued big volume full Of interesting
statistics. 1t appears that Of the resi-
deuce population only G5 per cent were
born In London, and Of born LondOners
living In England II per cent still live
In London ami . per cent In the rest u
tbs country. The southeastern counties,
the south midland, the eastern and the
southwestern are the only districts that
contribute (severallyl more than 8 per
cent OF the population. The total for
eign percentage IL no more than 2.26.
1t is noteworthy that. while the native
population has decreased In the last 20
years from "a 10 u per cent, the prOpOr-
ton Of London Scottish has remained
stationary, the Irish having decreased
considerably, and the foreigners, chiefly
Poles and Runians. have increased.
The actual population Of registration
London at the last census was i,2ll ,743.
This total falls short OF the total as
calculated on the basis of the known
decennial increase. aud 1t Is estimated
that 3SS, 1854 persons have gone to live
elsewhere, the large majority no doubt
finding their homes in outer London.
The registrsr generals returns for 1892
shows the total number of births as
49,, s2s; rate OF illegitimacy, s.75 per
cent; total number OF deaths. 81. .Ss3, Of
which ~ per cent represents infant
morality under years Of age: total
number Of persons married, 7s ,ss2.
The age tables show that more than
"A per cent Of the population are either
under 20 years Of age or over 70, and
may be presumed not to be mainly sup
ported by their personal labor; the
remainder, mostly between the ages of
% and 50, may be reckoned rs WORKERS

The Power Of Influence.

Prom the Rams Horn.
A young man recently at religious
meeting told the story Of his conver-
sion. It shows how great an influence
We may be exerting on others all I'M
known to ourselves. He said:
"On my way to and from my bust.
ness, pass q certain home. I am
generally on my way about their break
fast time. As l passed one day ! saw
the head OF the house, man only q
few years older than myself, sit down
to the table. He had . Bible In his
hand, and in the passing glance saw
his wife and little girl with head
bowed, waiting for him to read. It was
only q glance, but 1t haunted me al
day. 1t had purifying influence. The
next morning l found myself looking
into the window as passed with curl
os'ty, mingled with more respect thar
I ever had for religion. Morning afteI
morning u was the same.
al had never been = church goer
but one Sunday morning resolved t.
60 to church near by. I was ignorant
Of the time, and SO I dressed leisurely
and sauntsred in. The Sunday schoo
was In session. glanced over thu
classes, and was pleased to see my un
known friend teaching class Of young
men about my age. Before the yea
was past I had made my good COMES
sion. That was twelve years ago, ant
my faith is stronger today than ever
but somehow I always feel that tn
picture l saw through the open window
had more to do with my conversion
than anything else"

Hints on Setting . Table.


From Harpers Round Table.
One important thing to be considered
when setting the table 10 the table cloth.
This should be Of fair white linen, If
possible, with pretty pattern Of ferns
or blocks or clover leaves, but even II 1t
be coarse, and not beautiful In design,
it must always be spotlessly clean. Do
not let the laundress starch your table
cloth. No starch Is needed. Il must
however, be ironed with exquisite
nicety, folded evenly down the middle,
and the crease made by folding shown
plainly by the pressure Of the iat-iron.
A table cloth must not be laid upon the
bare table. Next to the table you must
have heavy underclOth Of felt or Call-
ton flannel. This serves several pur-
poses. 1t removes the danger OF injury
to the table itself from hot dishes, which
sometimes leave disfiguring white rim
or SCARED edge upon q polished surface.
1t deadens sounds, and it brings out well
the pretty figures on the cloth. II used
with care, an undeIclOth Of this kind
will last long time, and i have found
Canton flannel much more satisfactory
than felt. When you begin to set your
table for breakfast or dinner. decide on
the places for the different members OF
the family, and then do not change
these except when you have guests.
Mamma will have before her the tray
with the cups and sancers, the tea
things, and the coffee urn. hope you
make tea and coffee on the table; it is u
graceful occupation for the house
mother, and insures your always having
clear cOfie, and hot, delicious tea, and
Is, besides, very little trouble once the
habit has been established. A simple
French cOffee-pOt with an alcohol lamp,
u small teakettle also witha lamp. q tea
caddy, and q rule always adhered to.
will make these processes simple. Cups
and saucers and the cream-iug, sugar
bowl and spOon-hOlder should be beside
the mothers place.
Oatmeal and other cereals, il served
on the table ut breakfast, should stand
by the sister or brother who dispenses
them. 1t is best to begin with fruit
course, and, therefore, 6nger-bowls,
fruit doilies, and plates. with the knives,
forks and spoons needed for this, should
be on the table when the family seat
themselves. If you wish to save trouble,
and have the meal pass on in an orderly
manner, you may place by each plate all
the knives, forks and teaspoons which
will he required during meal. These
will Ike used one by one, always begin.
ming with that on the outside farthesi
from the plate, and as the maid changes
the plates for each course she will
remove the Knives and forks which be
long to that.

Dunraven's Yacht.
To the editor of the Republic.

Lexington, Mo-, Oct. 2.-In the
Globe Democrat Of Sunday, September
30, there is an answer to some one
who wants to know how to pronounce
"Valkyri-," The answer gives the
in the first syllable as a in father; the
y In the second as ee; the ri as ri, and
the last letter as Ell. 1t would be
nearly as "waIl," and the kee Of Nc
Kee, and the ria of Maria. Truly there
is no such word as we spell it, but as
We are aiming at the old Morse word,
the sound Of the latter should be kept.
Val means q choice. Kyrja is the same
root as the word by which Scandina-
vians call the Pacific ocean: kyrra haf,
and means calm. The scandinavian
habit is to give the letter the closed
sound before two consonants, the open
sound before one. So the . IN this
case, being in compound word,
comes under the rule, tcing before two
consonants, and K. It sounds as in
the boys name, s.Hnl." Y IL an intense
sound Of l, as in s.machine." J answers
TO ory. The last letter is about al
u In sssnuif." The habit of the North
ern tongues Is to throw the accent OF
the first syllable, which came from the
absolute necessity Of forcing the cole
air away from the mouth with puff
while the rest Of the word Was spokeI
so that cold air would not get in TIN
throat and Injure the vocal organs. s.
the word was probably spoken Wal
keer-yuh. The valkyriur were guardial
angels, who chose before the battle tn
ones who were to be slain, to becon,
calm in death. Those thus Ichosc
went at once to valhslla, the Hall @
the Chosen, where Odin sat on III
, "high-seat' or throne, and the chose
drank and fought, their wounds healin
over night, 50 that they we're ready fO
} another battle next day, and thus live
IN an endless heaven Of drinking an
fighting.

Wanted Both Of Them.

John Shea, chief of detectives,
tells of a young sleuth whom he en-
ployod on a case and to whom he
said after tho work, "1'll give you
your pay and will let you go, or I'll
put you on as a substitute"
"Wbat's a substitute?' asked the
young sleuth.
"Whcre you stand a show of get
ting on regular" said Shea.
"Then I'll take the pay and the
substitute BOTH" was the reply.
Nearly an identical conversation
took place between the great Russian
General Skobeleff and a peasant on
the eve of the battle of Plevna. The
peasant had saved Skobeleff's life,
and the general offered him the cross
of St. George or 100 rubles. The
soldier asked what the cross of St.
George was worth. 1T is not for the
worth of the thing, my good fel'
low" said Skobeleff, "but for the
honor. The cross itself is worth nc
more than s. rubles." I'm that
case," said the soldier, I'll have the
cross of St. George and 95 rubles.

rhe sermons He Preached.

Bishop Burnet was on ono Of his
visitations when the name of a very
old clergyman was called over of
whom q complaint had been made
that the PARISH could not endure
him, he gave such bad sermons. The
bishop gravely chided the poor par
son. II am told, Mr.. -, that your
parish is very we'll satisfied with you
In many respects, but that they are
much disconnected with your ser.
mons. Now, there is no excuse for
this, for instead of preaching extern.
pore, as am told you sometimes do,
or giving your own compositions,
you have only to preach good print
ed sermons, and they will have no
cause for complaint.
May it please your lordship, .
replied the clergyman, "you have
boon wholly misinformed. I have
long been in the habit of preaching
printed sermons, and those ! have
preferred are your lordship's. -
