The Country Editor.

The path Of the country editor is
not strewn with roses. He earns not
20 per cent of the sum which his labor
entities him to receive. He booms
his town industriously and goes into
debt for his board, He mentions by
name every prominent citizen of whom
he can think and they consider him
repaid if they do not whip him. He
is the repository Of all the troubles of
his acquaintance. He is expected to
expend time and talent in the service
og every Jim crow politician who
happens along, and his reward is nil.
He pays his own expenses and is ex-
pected to do it on wind. He cannot
persuade the community that his
space is of value and their insatiate
appetite for free advertising grows by
what it feeds upon. He sets his own
type and Jerks his own Washington
hand press and wraps, directs and
mails his own issues and becomes
grayheaded in the service of his
townsmen and he dies when he is too
old to work, unwept by any save his
immediate family, He is not regret

them joy and happiness, and they
always learn a lesson Of morality.

tiers are life like and original. Rem
dered as they are by some of the most

learn lasting lesson of morality,
that will ever follow them through
life. All the characters Of this play

Mckinley received a plurality over

certainly more than three-fourtna
Of this was cast by negroes OF

Hygienic Value Of Paints

Regarding the effect OF various
paints upon bacteria, DR.. Hsimes
has recently delivered = notable
lecture before the Greifswald Medl-
cal Society. 1t does not appear to
be IN unimportart matter for the
conditions In . building
with what kind Of paint the walls
are covered. Holmes conducted the
following experiments: He took
equally large pieces Of oak. poplar
aud pine wood, and Of iron and
cement plates, and covered each
piece with OIL paint, size paint or
enamel paint, ~ we'll = with = few
proprietary compositions. After
the paint had dried perfectly, the
plates we're coated with cultures OF
various Disseminating bacteria.
In this condition the plates were
laid in m incubator, in which m
ordinary room temperature was
maintained. From time to time q
little was scraped OF from the sur
face Of the plates in order to exam
inc them % to the amount OF live
bacteria present. The result wae
that upon oil paint coatings the
bacteria were found to die on
quicker than On articles coated with
other pigments. On enamel paint
the bacteria die more slowly, and
still slower on lime and sire paint
This heterogeneous behavior il
probably not due 70 the chemical
properties Of the paints, but t
the different physical qualitiee,
especially 70 the fact that tn
liquids containing bacteria dry NOR,
slowly OF quickly upon the variou!
paints. Prof. Lofier, who attended
the lecture, attached considerabl,
practical importance to the result
and recommended the use only o
oil paint 10 hospitals, scl,0ole, bal'
racks and other bu,ldings.-Frnab'
