AIarm-Queer shapes of the Micro-or-
gsnisms Some That Are Dangerous.
1t is popular fallacy that each drop
of water we drink is teeming with more
or less peinicious germs and that every
time thirsty man consumes glass OF
natures beverage he runs the risk OF
engulfng choice and varied assort-
ment of typhoid bacilli. scarlet fever
micrococci and other unspeakable mi
croscopic monstrosities. The idea is all
wrong, of course, but there is some
truth in it-that sort of half truth that
is ofttimes worse than no truth at all.
That there are micro organisms in
the purest water is perfectly true. Even
distilled water is not quite free from
them. But they are mostly quite harm
less, good natured little chaps, with no
more malice, so to speak, in their COM
position than a 2-months old baby.

Cucumber Cream For sunburn

1t is we'll known fact among French
women that the juice of green cucum-
bers forms a very pleasant remedy for
sunburns and the like. To prepare a
most valuable cucumber cream, take 2
large green cucumbers that are just on
the verge of becoming yellow. Cut them
into small pieces and press out the juice.
They will yield about ounces of juice.
Take ounces of almond oil, one-half
ounce of spermaceti and one-half ounce
of white wax. Put these together in a
cup and place in bowl of boiling wa
ter until dissolved. Then take the Gu
cumber juice and pour over the mixture
and stir until dissolved. The cream is
now ready for Popular Science

1900 species, and an average sized
tumbler of drinking water will contain
from 500 to 200.
But do not be alarmed and proceed to
forswear adams ale" for some more
potent beverage. They are so infinitely
tiny that if it were possible for man
to drink all the water that ran through
his tap in week he would not have
consumed more than one hundredth
part of an ounce of foreign matter.
One Of the most common organisms
found in water is the ameba 1t is one
of the lowest forms of animal life, be-
ing really nothing more than piece OF
Jelly. Amoebe are quite as nutritious
as gelatine, and when it is reflected
that it would take about 90, 900. 600 of
them to make a decent sized pudding
no one need shudder if he unconsciously
drink couple in glass Of water.
Another wild looking but perfectly
harmless little beast is the sun animal
Guile. 1t is also jellylike, and the formi-
dable spines are softer than the finest
down.
The infusoria are among the prettiest
as we'll as the smallest Of all micro or
ganisms. They average about one-two-
thousandths of an inch in diameter, and
an army corps of them would find no
difficulty in drilling on the point Of a
needle. They make good infinitesimal
fish food. They can make water very
unpleasant to drink by imparting to it
fishy taste and odor, but to do this
there must be at least 400, 900 in each
cubic inch of water, whereas up to now
there have never been found in ordinary
drinking water more than 200 per Gu
bic inch.
Perhaps the most pleasing creatures
vet discovered in the water we drink,
and the kind most calculated TO shake
the firmness of even the stanchest of
teetotalers, is the cyclops.
1t is a member of the great family of
crustacea, to which Holsters and shrimps
and crabs belong, and is exactly like
them in shape. If the one shown in the
sketch could be made one thousand
times as big as he is he would be as
large as shrimp.
Among the microscopic plants found
in ordinary drinking water are many
very beautiful forms. One of the com
monest is the desmid, which is exactly
like tiny cabbage. 1t is probable,
too. that in proportion to its size it is
quite as nutritious.
The diatoms are another very COM
mon class of water plant and present
an endless variety of forms Some OF
them glide slowly to and fro like fairy
boats; others are in chains and many
live together in colonies. They all have
glass cases, beautifully marked.
In fact, they are mere minute specks
of jelly with the thinnest of glass walls
and are warranted not to scratch
The only really dangerous classes of
plants to be found in drinking water
belong to the bacteria. Many of these,
however, are not at all harmful. They
live and thrive and flourish in our bod
les just as they do in their native ele-
ment, but we feel no i'll effects.
But once let the typhoid germ, or the
diphtheria bacillus, or the still more
deadly plant that is responsible for
cholera find Judgment in our systems
and we have inadvertently admitted a
poison producing agent which not all
the medical skill will be able to elimi-
nate until it has run its course. New

MIND YOUR WORDS.

Words have great power. Thought
uneXpressed is hidden force. A
spoken thought becomes thing of life.
1t is an arrow piercing the heart and
felt for lifetime, or it may be gift
that lasts forever, breathing sweetest
incense, blessing the heart that has re-
ceived it and bestowing constant and
purest Joy. "Silence is golden.
Speech is silver" To know when and
where to apply the gold of silence or to
give the silver of speech is one of the
fine arts. A word once sent forth can
not be recalled. 1t is gone forever on
its path of JOY or sorrow. Many per-
son would give worlds to recall one
single thoughtlessly spoken word-a
word that gave sorrow and pain and
despair to some sensitive heart. 1t is
of no use. The word has gone forth.
1t comes no more back. All the hon
eyed phrases, all the sweet love words
in the language, cannot rub out that
one word, that had its mission for grief
or gladness. If for gladness, there is
no wish to recall it, for it is that which
giveth sorrow and pain that people
desire to recall.
Then be careful of your words.
Strive that they be always gentle, low
ing, and humane-that they may give
peace and hope instead of pain and
woe.
Many word at random spoken.
May heal or wound a heart that's broken.
