IF there is any good reason for having
cur schools commence at this time and
the children be compelled to walloW

MICROBES EXIST IN BRooMs.
Household Implement a Breeding Place
 for Bacteria.

"The broom ordinarily is fertile breeding place for bacteria, and should merit the interest and earnest consid- eration, not only of all good house. wives but of everyone who is interest ed in the health of the family, and the maintenance of the strietest hygtenic and sanitary conditions. It is not generally known that the ordinary broom Is the habitation or breeding place of great colonies of bacteria and unsanitary germs. La grippe, small= Dox and scarlet fever have been traced directly to this household artiele-the ordinary broom. It is an interesting coincidence that almost simultaneous ly with this article a Georgia inventor announces that he has invented san itary broom. This broom is furnished with what it's inventor calls retain er.'' which contains antiseptics. The retainer is incorporated in the part of the broom nearest the handle and is shaped somewhat like an incandeseent light bulb; it is concealed by the broom straws and is held in place by transverse rows of stitching. The penetration of the retainer opens up numerous small outlets, which, acting together with the meshes, allow a gradual emulation of the antiseptio influence in their descent along and dissemination through the straws, in- suring by the acts of sweeping tha thorough disinfection of carkets, and perfect deedorizer of apartments Scientific American.

Paper Made from Pea t.

An Austrian invention of recent oe- eurrenee is the conversion of bog peat into paper, carpet and even food for pigs. The inventor, Karl Zsehoerner, has paid attention to peat for years, and after prolonged experiments has produced not only a variety of grades of paper, but textures, which for eheapness can scarcely be equaled by any modern products A handful of dried peat looks like remnants of to- bacco clippings and would hardly im- press an observer as being of conner cial consequence, but after being put through the inventors process the mass becomes fibrous and can be treated like any other textile maternal. A large plant is being operated in Aus tria for manufacturing from peat. Samples of these products present the appearance of cloths and carpets of the highest quality.

 Cubans and Porto Ricans.

One result of the provisional state of things now existing in Cuba is that Cubans who travel abroad are without any definite government protection. They are no longer subjects of Spain and they are not citizens of the United States. Secretary Hay has issued in- struetions under which they will be given the good offices of American rep resentatives abroad, in case of need, but this is by way of friendly inter- vention rather than official protection. Porto Ricans, however, will be given protection in all matters in which American citizens would be entitled to it; but they will be registered at the censulates as native Porto Rieans and not as citizens of the United States.

There are records of $200,000 having been lost at a sit ting, and the loss of $50,000 appears to have been very common occur renee.
