oLn.AGE BAcrERLA.

There has long been notion in tht
 world that if people knew how to live
 they might live forever on this beauti
 ful earth and not be obliged to go tC heaven in order to live forever. But
 people don't know how to 1ive,a and since the bacteria have been discovered il doesn't seem probable that there will
 ever be way or ways to completely de.
 feat their multitudinousness and their
 malevolence. Still, there are those who
 continue to hope. Among them is an
 Italian bacteriologist, who says that
 old'age Is caused by the presence in the tissues of "old-age bacteria" And he as- serts that when some method of expel- ling these bacteria has been discovered, man will become immortal. Of course he means that man must be proof against all the other kinds of bacteria too or have some, way of expelling them.
 This is an interesting theory and 1t has the merit of being entirely consist ent with other interesting theories. As things are now man must expect to die because of bacteria. If he defeats all other kinds, the "old-age bacteria" will fetch him. And all the satisfaction he can have is that he dies according to the most approved scientific rules. The discovery of the ''o1d-age bacteria" is right in line with the discoveries of other bacteria. But thus far the dis covery of bacteria-killers has not kept pace with the discovery of the pestif- erous little man killers, Until there are more indications that man will gain on the bacteria faster than he has done the time when all the bacteria but the "old-age bacteria will be disposed of appears to be far distant. If that time ever does come what an interesting time 1t will be. When only the "old-age bacteria" stand between man and earthly immortality the assault on the last foe or friend will be worth seeing, hearing and reading about And if the time should come when everybody can beat all the bacteria will the desire for earthly immortality be so strong in the minds of all men that they will use all the bactericides or will some of them want a change so badly that they will commit suicide just as some do now?

Bicyolo-R ding.
[From Hnrperls WeelsIy.


 The bicycle is the fastest vehicle pro-
 pelled by animal power, As for the distallce that may be gone over in 8 given time, the bicycler and his ma chine have far outstripped both trot- ters .and runners. Bicycling, moreover, has great charms for those who have neither the capacity nor desire to at | tain great bursts of speed. The eXer- else Is as pleasant as horseback-ridlng, and very much cheaper. But no mat. ter how general the use of the bicycle maY become walking is not likely to lose it's devotees. Daily walks must be taken within limited horizon, how ever, while the regular bicycle-rider's area is extended amazingly. It has been asserted with some authority that the same effort that is required to walk one mile will propel bicycle six miles, Bicycle-riders, at least will not dispute this assumption. Now let us see what are the consequences of this increased capacity A man who lives in a subur- ban district, in his walks around his home, if he be an average walker, will go two and half miles out and the same distance back making his walk five miles. In his various excursions he is likely to explore the district about his home for two and half miles in every accessible direction, and if roads be plenty he may become acquainted with the general features of the land scape within an area of about twenty square miles. The same man on 9 bi- cycle will extend his radius to six times two and half miles, and will there fore make fifteen miles out and fifteen i miles back. He will thus have so | broadened the domain of his observa- ton that he may explore the country | embraced within seven hundred and | seven square miles. Vigorous walkers | who go five miles out and back enjoy | territory of seventy-eight miles; but | this vigorous and ambitious man, if the | six to one assumption hold good, would | on the bicycle extend his excursions to | thirty miles out and thirty back, so | that he in time would have for his own | all there is of beauty and instruction in 2S27.4 square miles.
 The cheapness of bicycling as com pared with horseback-riding is worthy | of consideration. A bicycle costs from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars; a horse costs from two hun dred dollars to very much larger sums, The keep of a horse is at least thirty dollars month, including the charges of the farrier and veterinary; the cost of a bicycle for repairs ought not to be three dollars month; indeed, many of the makers guarantee them for cer- tain time, and make repairs without charge So first cost and maintenance are both in favor of the machine.

1rTUrTARY TRAINrNG FOR BOYS.


 Not many years ago the peace socie. ties thought the outlook for universal peace was bright. Now it looks as fl wars and fighting might never cease If there are any peace societies left they will be terribly pained by the rapid growth of the idea that it will be a good thing to establish a system of military drill in all the public schools and colleges of this country. Lafayette Post, G. A. R., of New York has taken a lively interest in the matter. Post Commander Henry H. Adams has re- ceived letters from forty-seven gover- nors of States and Territories, all ex- pressing an enthusiastic interest in and approval of the movement. Half or more of the governors wanted more data, at once. for the purpose of sub hitting the idea to the legislatures Of their States, now in session. Next Fri day the governors of New York, Penn
  and probably Massachusetts, besides half a dozen ex-governors and a num- Der of other officials or ex-offfcials dn- cluding General Miles of the Army and ex-President Harrison) are to meet in conference with committee of the Grand Army Post named, at the Hotel New Netherland,, New York. and con- slider what practical steps can now be taken to further the plan. The con- ference will have the legal advice of Joseph H. Choate and Chauncey M Depew as to what legislation, national, State, and municipal, should be advised to bring about the general instruction it is aimed to secure in public schools, State colleges, and universities under State and federal supervision, At the Seventh regiment armory there will be battalions of school children from the New York public schools, who will show, in drill, the progress already made, and show the visitors what the military drill is doing for the boys. In the evening, in Carnegie Hall, there will be speaking by MT. Depew, Joseph H. Choate, John s. Wise, General Miles, Seth Low and others; and MT. Choate, whose discourse will be entitled What is a vote?" will argue that a vote in he hands of a man who has been taught to love his country, and to recognize the value of obedience to law, and to ''toe put and hold his chin up, by military is a safe vote in the coun- try. Post Commander Adams says he has been assured that on next Decora- ton Day there will be parade in New York of 10000 perfectly drilled public school children. It is evident that the need of soldiers s not yet done away with in this coun- | ny. The affair which is now going on Il Brooklyn shows this, and all those | who may be foreign enemies" are not 1

Needlework is now in fashionable fa- vor and the right handkerchief to car ry is one that represents the latest de- velopment of the art that heretofore has expended itself on table accesso- ries, doilies, etc. With the swells the very finest lawn handkerchief is strewn with tiny rose leaves, done with natu- ral colored silk, and so daintily that there is no right and no wrong side to

becoming more and more vivid that
 what the schools are now, SO will be the
 homes and nation of the future. Wo-
 mems place as teachers in schools has
 never been disputed, and we see every
 where five-sixths of the teachers in primary and grammar school systems
 women Then the largest percentage of the children are below ten years of age-the age that in homes both sons and daughters are left to the training care of the mothers. Why in the past has there been a question that woman's influence and place should not be off, cially recognized in school systems?
 Why in this country are there so few women on school boards, either as trus- tees or commissioners? Why are there, at this present time, no women on the boards of New York and Brooklyn? Various answers could be given, but no one can now say that women should not be represented, when the above- named boards oversee and control over five thousand women teachers and three hundred thousand children! Wo- men serve everywhere on the school boards of Great Britain, and three at least sit on the great school board of London. No one who has studied the grand work of the women in western states, known such women as Mrs. Flower of Chicago, Miss Hallowell of Philadelphia, Miss Pingree of Boston, but would wish that in every city at least six such women could care for the interests of the children.

 the little square. The leaves are ex- qulsitely natural and they seem to float from a wee bunch of roses in one cor ner. You will guess at once and cor rectly that the name of the girl who carries such a handkerchief is Rose. If the girls name is not that of flower, then blossom representing the initial of the girls name may be used. Thus forget-me-not does for Fannie, pansies for Pauline or pinks for Prue. This fad will probably not last long after its swagger devotees find that women of slender means can follow it by doing their own needlework, but at present it is all the rage.
 It may have been suggested or led up to by the general use of faces in dress trimmings. If. so, it certainly has done nothing as yet to abate the first named fashion, which is accorded a longer life than modes usually are. A favorite expression of it is to give to an other wise plain dress a rich bertha of lace as in this picture Here there is yoke of the net, too, and the bertha is so deep' as to furnish an epaulette finish for the full sleeves The dress material Is a handsome emerald green silk, made with a perfectly plain skirt. The bod ice is finished with a narrow piping around the bottom, hooks invisibly in front and is lined with white taffeta.
 Perforation is still In favor for the elaboration of dresses. At the same time no effect needs to be used with more restraint than this, for to see a garment all riddled with holes suggests rather the inroads of mice and moths than an intelligent effort at ornamen- tation. Besides, it is fashion that tends so directly to extravaganza that it cannot last long. FLORETTE.

A bill has been drafted for introduc- tion in the South Carolina legislature to prevent defalcations of state officers. According to it's provisions, county treasurers and state treasurers are to be relieved of the responsibility and profit of handling the funds in their offices. Certain banks are to be chosen as depository banks, and are required to pay from 2 to 4 per cent. on the monthly balance and to give a bond for the protection of the money. Every check drawn from the fund is to be signed by the treasurer and counter signed by the auditor, and both are to keep a set of books.

The government of Spain has dis covered that twenty-four million of spurious silver dollars are in circulation They are of full mint weight, and are in all respects like the genuine. The intrinsic value of the silver in the gov ernment dollar is but one-half of it's legal value. This gives to the illicit coiners a large profit. Spanish officials claim that these coins were made in France and America, and that certain banking houses in Madrid are suspect ed of complicity in their distribution. The low price of silver presents an enormous temptation to men to coin spurious dollars in competition with IJncle Sam's hints, and it will surprise no one should similar discovery be made in this country.

An interesting contrivance designed to prevent rear end collisions on rail- roads has just been tested in New York. The machine consists of a light cast iron frame made to run on the track and attached to it in 8 horizontal position is a large rocket. which when lighted, will propel it along the rails for distance of 2,00O feet at speed of thirty miles an hour A quantity of Greek fire is expected to blaze up at the end of the run. When an accident happens to 0 train the conductor is expected to uncouple the torch bearing truck, touch match to the rocket and allow the machine to run back and warn an approaching train.

Horses are peculiarly liable to injury from contact with electric currents. This is not due, according to the Lon don Lancet, to physical structure, but to other causes, some of which are in a degree preventible. The safety of the horse depends upon the skill of the blacksmith to some extent. The shoes offer large surface for contact and the nails are conductors by which the cur rent may enter the body, although the sole of the hoof itself is an insulator. The animals weight aids the contact, and wet fetlock increases the danger. Blacksmiths, therefore, should not drive the nails to the quick" and the fetlocks should be trimmed.
