What the world owes 20 Louis Pasteur
the worlds great vocabulary is incom-
petent to express. Through his re-
searches, and those Of the students who
have come after him. the light has been
turned upon what has hitherto been to-
tai darkness. Doubt, experiments and
uncertainty have given way to precision
and accuracy in diagnosis. As the farm
er knows that the chinch bug is the
cause Of his withered crops, so the ply
stefan knows that the bacillus Of certain
diseases brings about certain symptoms.
The microscope is the physician reli-
ance. A few drops Of blood. bit Of
tissue, little perspiration brought IN
der the eye Of this magic assistant will
tell him at once the cause and progress
Of the disease. And it is not alone the
physician who benefits by this knowl-
edge. The farmer. the vineyardist, the
dairvmun, the stock raiser, the cultiva-
tor Of the siilworm and the enthusiast
ON bees are alike indebted TO the dis
covorcr Of the germ origin Of disease
for inevitable aids in their business. A
necessity Of the near future is an i'm
provement in microscopes and their
cheapening. SO that knowledge Of germs
may become more widespread. Every

and its microscopic equipment. There

Last winter a number Of literary peo-
pie INDUCED from time to time in anna
teur theatricals. During February they
produced a comedy. One Of the actors
played the part Of q burglar, and had 10
climb up the outside of the house in
which the entertainment was given and
enter through the window which was at
the rear Of the improvised stage.
He hurried round from the dressing
rooms and valiantly commenced to
struggle up the wall, when policeman
grasped him by the neck, thinking him
a veritable burglar.
He started to explain, but the minion
Of the law would have none of it. The
audience was wondering in the mean
time why the play did not proceed, and
the young actors and actresses on the
stage were eagerly waiting for the bur
glar to enter and give them their cue.
when they heard shrieks, yells, oaths
and threats from the garden. Rushing
out they found the master burglar
thrashing wildly about the grass, while
hrawny policeman sat on his shoulders
hammering his neck into the mud.

shakespeare's Heroines.

The fact that boys acted his heroines
may have impelled Shakespeare to pre-
sent his Rosalind, Imogen, Julia and
Viola in doublet and hose, because in
male attire the boys must have looked
and acted their best. 1t is more easy to
conceive male representative Of Lady
Macbeth than Of Juliet, but we, with
our advantages, can never be wholly
reconciled TO the idea of a woman
played by man. The greatest revolu-
tion in the history Of the modern drama
was the introduction Of women upon
the stage. This change was caused not
merely by art considerations, but arose
IN part from the laxity Of morals and Of
manners at the restoration; but never
theless what a mighty and benefcent
change IL wasl What gifts and grace,
what loveliness. purity, tenderness,
genius, charm, have been shown to the
delighted world since women have been
played by women within the confines of
the magic wooden OF How did. how
could, the players of Shakespeare time
procure boys Of such intelligence, beau
ty, delicacy Of mind, that they could
worthily persoDate pure, lovely, noble
women?
Could we now tolerate any youth in
such parts as lmogen, Desdemona. Ju-
liet? Still it must be remembered that
the boys who first acted such characters
were probably trained. inspired. in
structed by the master himself. and he
may well have done wonders. 1t was a
hard condition, and twin born with
Shakespeare's dramatic greatness, that
he should see his women played by lads.

Congressman Bailey Of Texas thus re-
plies TO recent criticisms Of his dress:
81 have always held that society had no
right, by its dictum. TO regulate the
style Of a mans clothes. Ever since
could afford it. have dressed just as
do today. have worn the same black
broadcloth suit. cut in tho same style:
the same style of broad shirt front and
white tie; the same kind Of collar and
broad black felt hat / wear these
clothes regardless Of the day Of the
week or the hour or Of society's dicta-
ton because / believe they become me,
and they please my wife. There is
rule Of society which prescribes that
dress suit shall not be worn until after
O'Clock in the evening. II chose to
wear dress suit. would feel free to
put II ON in the morning or evening. or
at noon. just as the fancy dictated. 1t
seems to me that the society rule which
attempts TO regulate mans dress is
autocratic. The rule prescribing dress
originated in the old customs Of the
court nobility. We are simply initiating
| these old aristocrats when we bar a per-
son out Of society because he does not
dress in the fashion. II men showed
more independence in the matter OF
dress, they would soon be able TO break
over the society restraints. and after
that anybody could wear whatever he
chose to, so long as he conformed to the
law Of the land and wore something.
So far as am concerned, shall con
tinue to wear whatever suits me and a
the same time meets the approval O.
my wife. ="
