Bacteria Have Uses.

So much has been said about bac.
terra as causing and propagating dis
ease that it is difficult to make the
public regard these minute organisms
as anything but mischief makers.
Nevertheless, an American scientist,
Professor Conn, of Wesleyan Uni
versity, and Simon G. Keith, Of Bos.
ton, are demonstrating by expert.
ments that they serve useful pur'
pose in nature, and contribute quite as
much to ones pleasure as to ones dis
comfort. The outcome of their inves.
LEGATIONS is that it is to the develop
ment of bacteria in milk that the deli
cate flavor of butter and cheese is due,
and that the reason some kinds of but.
ter and cheese have better favors than
others is that different species Of bac
terra have been developed. They
have succeeded in isolating these diff.
| ferent species.
In 1891 Professor Wilhelm, of Copen.
hagen, succeeded in isolating certain
acid bacteria from ripened cream, and
was able to cultivate and utilize thcm
in the creameries for accomplishing an
artificial .ripening in the cream and
consequent fermentation, in order that
q more uniform and better favored
butter might be produced. But it was
not until two years ago, when Pro
fessor Conn discovered germ for the
ripening of cream which was radically
different from any heretofore used,
that the subject began to be studied
in this country with the view of de.
veloping its commercial possibilities.
Since then a laboratory has been fitted
up in Boston by Orrin Douglass for
the separation, cultivation and inves.
tigation of bacteria from q commercial
standpoint. Mr.. Douglass has asso-
ciated with him Mr.. Keith, who is Q

It helped to q real feeling of thank

It helped to a real feeling of thank
fitness, especially when she thought
of old Mrs. Morrison, and how pleased
she had been with the unexpected
gift. She laughed q little to herself
as she returned to her own door after
service, remembering how when Sally
Morrison had commiserated her on be-
ing alone Thanksgiving Day, she had
assured her she had company invited
Tommy Barnes, from the next door,
who was spending couple of days
with her, the rest Of the family being
away.
ct hope It want a sinful untruth, 81
she said, smiling at Tommy, who lay
peacefully sleeping on the braided rug,
"but if old Miss Morrison had set in
to have me stay to dinner, I shouldn't
a. known how to get away, and she is
such a talker."
With long, clean apron over her
best frock, Miss Matte began cheer.
fully to make her small preparations
for the Thanksgiving feast. She had
