THE USES OF BACTERIA.
The Delicate Flavor of Butter and Cheese
Owing to Them.


Owing to Them.
An American scientist, Professor
Conn of Wesleyan university, Middle
town, Conn, and Simon Q. Keith of
Boston are demonstrating by expert
ments that bacteria serve useful pur-
pose in nature and contribute as much
to ones pleasure as to ones discomfort.
The outcome of their Investigations is
that it is to the development of bacteria
in milk that the delicate flavor of but
ter and cheese is due, and that the rea-
son some kinds of butter and cheese
have better fiavors than others is that
different species of bacteria have been
developed. They have succeeded i'll iso-
lating these different species.
In 1891 Professor Wilhelm Storch of
Copenhagen succeeded i'll isolating GER
tain acid bacteria from ripeIied cream
and was able to cultivate and utilize
them in the creameries for accomplish
ing an artificial ripening i'll the cream
and consequent fermentation, i'll order
that a more uniform and better flavor
ed butter might be produced.
But it was not until two years ago.
when Professor Conn discovered germ
for the ripening of cream which was
radically different from any heretofore
used, that the subject began to be stud
led i'll this country with the view of de-
veloping its commercial possibilities
Since then laboratory has been fitted
up in Boston by Orrin Douglass for the
separation, cultivation and investiga-
ton of bacteria from commercial
standpoint. Mr. Douglass has associated
with him Mr.. Keith, who is graduate
of the Institute of Technology. Elk

An Idle Lady and Gentleman Form a Life
Partnership.
Forty-two cents was the declared cap
ital of a couple of tramps who loved
each other after three hours acquaint-
ance, and who were married at Castle
ton, n. Y, recently.
The Rev. Mr.. Thomas was waiting
for wedding party to assemble when
seedy looking man and an equally i'll
clad woman appeared at his home and
asked for the dominic - They told
Mr.. Thomas they wanted to marry.
They were tramping, they said, when
they met each other and loved at first
sight. The only obstacle to their con-
tinuing their tramp as a honeymoon
journey was, they added, the price Of q
wedding.
The good natured clergyman waived
his fee and spoke the words that made

All Men Are Barred.

The West park board of Chicago have
decreed that some of the largest grass
plots i'll the West Side park shall be re-
served as common" for women and
children only and that men must not
occupy them.
AS a result of this somewhat high
handed action, as it was considered by
those who had to endure it, there has
come overwhelming protest. And amid
all this protest the West park board
stand cold and firm.
The warm weather has not served to
warm their hearts, and, indeed, not
even the hot anger of the complaining
people has had that effect. The men are
getting ready to begin lawsuit about
it. Exchange

letter Received After Thirty-two Years

John II. Hughes of Cedar Grove,
Orange county, Va, recently mailed a
letter which was given him i'll 1865 to
mail, when he was a prisoner at Point
Lookout. In looking over some papers
he found the letter and wrote to the
sheriff of Arson county to know if the
man to whom it was addressed was
alive. The sheriff replied yes, and that,
strange to relate, he was i'll his office
when the letter of inquiry came. The
letter was sent in the original envelope.

For the first time in the history of
the south the experiment of employing
negro help in cotton mill is to be
tried, says the Atlanta Journal. Charles
ton, the most conservative of southern
cities and the last place where such a
radical departure might be expected, is
to furnish the trial. Some time ago the
Charleston cotton mills had to be closed
OH account of the dull markets, and
since then the 800 men, women and
children have been out of employment.
The mills have one of the largest plants
in the south. A large part of the stock
is owned by o. II. Sampson of Boston
and other northern capitalists, and they
contend that had negro labor been Sc
cured months ago the mill would not
have been compelled to stop. 1t is
through northern influence that it has
been settled that negroes alone shall be
employed when the factory resumes.

The plan of the grand manuvers of
the French army, which are to take
place in September next, was recently
officially announced. The field of oper
ations will be confined to the north,
Arras and Douai forming the base on
one side, while on the other scissors
and Villers Cotteret mark the farthest
limit. Thus the ground covered is that
by way of which Paris has more than
once been approached by real invader,
and the movements will reproduce in
some degree those of Generals Faidherbe
and Fare in 1871.

Speculation is rife in Europe as to the
cause of the astounding percentage of
suicides among the medical profession
in Russia. IN the Muscovite empire the
rate of suicide for ordinary mortals is
80 in 1000, 900. But the rate for doc
tors is no less than G31 in 100000,
according to recent official returns. This
is all the more a matter for concern, as
Russia suffers more than any other Ma
ton in Europe from scarcity of med
ical men.

One of the most eminent naval ex-
perts in France describes in the Paris
Temps the French fleet as "museum
of specimens, owing to the fact that
no two vessels are alike. Those now in
process of construction represent no less
than 81 different types, and it is need
less to point out the tactical disadvan-
tages that must inevitably result from
dissimilarity in the fighting units of a
squadron. The expert likewise points
out that if France had received the same
value for the money which she has
spent on her ships during the last 20
years as England the tonnage of her
fleet today would be greater than it is
by over 200, 900 tons. This conveys a
faint idea of the extravaganza and mis-.
management of the French department
of the navy.
