HARMLESS GERMS.
A Little knowledge Is a Dangerous
Thing.

-
Thing.
In the abundant talk about bacteria,
during these later years, there is
cause for alarm to those in whom "a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
If the air is swarming with bacilli,
say they, where is safety? How shall
the human organism protect itself? AT
first the wind of science swept us into
mad generalization. Germs were
everywhere, and all germs were harm
full; therefore, the more food, clothing
and coins were sterilized, the better
for us. Then, when it was discovered
that not only the food we eat, the air
we breathe, but the surface and cavi-
ties Of our bodies, swarmed with bac-
terra, while we might be enjoying ro-
bust health, it was decided hat only
certain forms of germ growth were
harmful. These were labeled with
great care and ingenuity until it seem
ed as if every disease was at last pro-
vided with a specific cause; and as
soon as that was done, a farther adj
vance in science made us aware that
even a specific disease germ has no
power except under favorable condi-
tions, where the body is disposed to
that disease. Ferdinand Hueppe, the
German professor of hygiene, has re.
Gently declared that the causes of ill
ness can no longer be regarded as If
they were as simple as a problem in
botany. No germ, however deadly,
can be the sole cause of disease. nor
can it produce poisonous effects in
more than one body in four, ever
though it enter them. The conditions
prevailing in the cells and fluids of a
given body may change the deadly
germs of tuberculosis or cholera to
harmless products. when no sus-
ceptibility to disease exists, we may
harbor the bacillus with impunity.'
Therefore, while no are should be
omitted to bring about the best sani-
tary conditions, we need not give way
to hysterical horror over germs. By
keeping the body in a condition Of
good general health, we are doing al
in u power to thwart the crimina
class of bacilli and to give the police
man germ a chance.-Youths' Com
panion.

Twice Each Month

The Northern Pacafic Railway runs
Home Seekers Excursions. These eX-
cursions are run on the first and third
Tuesdays of the month. Tickets are
sold from Eastern terminals to points
en- main line and branches west of Ait
kin and Little Falls, Mimi, in nearly
all at one fare plus $500 for the
round trip.
Time is given for intending settlers
and homeseekers to stop at various
places and examine the conditions pre-
vailing, prices of land, etc, with a
view to purchasing homes at most de-
sirable points.
The Northwest is the coming coun-
try. Good land is becoming scarce,
and these excursions offer opportunl-
ties for young people, especially. to
procure homes in the finest portions of
the Northwest, in most cases reached
only by the Northern Pacific.
For more detailed information re-
garding the scope and conditions sur
rounding these excursions, valuable lit
erature about the country, etc, call on
or write Chas. II. Fee, General Pas
senger Agent, st. Paul, MINI. For b
cents Mr.. Fee will send Wonderland,
1900, the finest illustrated descriptive
book ever published.

The stnte az Wnshington

Is known as the Evergreen State, be-
cause of it's vast forests. Outside of
the limited areas of Big Trees in Cali
fornia, there are no such forests Of
pine, fir, hemlock, spruce, cedar, ETC.,
as are found here. The trees are long
and straight, and the massive timbers
and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world.
washington fruit is a product or
great value. Its flavor and color are
unsurpassed. East Of the Cascade
mountains. the climate is dry and
warm and irrigation IS necessary. This
makes the farmer independent of rain.
West of the mountains irrigation is I'M
necessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes. Canneries and f~ruit-dry-
ing establishments can be operated
profitably in this state.
Grain, hops and alfalfa are very
profitable crops, and beet sugar is rap
idly making Roadway.
washington is a coming empire.
Brains are in demand in all profess
sions, and labor is wanted and is paid
remunerative prices. Fuel, coal, as
well as wood is abundant and cheap.
Schools and churches abound; the state
Is well supplied with railways.
Varied attitudes and climates render
this country a desirable place Of resi-
dence and all can be suited.

There are ninety United States SEN
atOTs, and of the present senate TWEEN
ty-four members have served more
than twenty years. The recent success
ut the Democratic primaries in Ala
sbama Of John T. Morgan insures him
smother term. He took his seat in the
senate March s, 1877, and at the con-
,elusion of his next term will have been
4hirty-two years c~onsecutively in Office
as senator from Alabama.
Senator Jones of Arkansas will have
eighteen years in the senate to his
credit on the completion of his term in
1908. Senator Teller of Colorado first
entered the upper house in 1876, and
mis- present term does not expire until
1908; but he resigned in 1882 to become
secretary of the interior, an office
which he held for three years, at the
close of which he was returned to con-
gress. Mr.. Plat of Connecticut has
been more than twenty-one years a
senator; his colleague, Senator Haw-
ley, has been in the senate nineteen
years; Senator Cullom, whose term ex-
pires March next, and whose successor
the next Illinois legislature will
choose, has had seventeen years of
service, while Senator Allison of Iowa
became a senator in 1873 and has been
continually in that office for twenty
.Beven years, and his term has still
three years to run. Senator Frye of
Maine was chosen nineteen years ago,
and his colleague, Senator Hale, was
>chosen at the same time. Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts was elected in
.iS77 and has held his seat continuous
1y since then. Senator Davis of Min
nesota was elected in 1877, and the two
Missouri senators, Cockrell and Vest,
are both veterans in service, any prof.
ect to replace either with a new nan
being regarded in Missouri as little
short of revolutionary. Mr.. Cockrell,

Story of he 1Iinuet.

There is an interesting story told of
the minuet, which is, perhaps,the most
popular of all PadereWski's compost
tions. Paderewski, while a professor
at. the C~onservatoire of Warsaw. was
one evening at the house of the Polish
poet, Swicztochowski, who expressed
the opinion that no living composer
could compare with Mozart in beauty
and simplicity. At the moment Pa
derewski merely shrugged his Shout
ders, but the following evening he ap-
peared and asked permission to play
his host a little thing of Mozart's
which perhaps he did not know. He
played the minuet. Swicztochowski
was enraptured and cried triumphant
ly: "Now you must acknowledge that
a piece like that could not have been
written in our time!" "Well," said
Paderewski, quietly, shat happens to
be a minuet composed by me-"

of how even a quarter can't get lost.

Being young, and eager for trouble, |

row forced the conductor to take it and
give me change. That was twenty-nine

coin has returned to me seven diff

three years after l had returned from

with a long stay in Australia. Before

panion.

DR.. Leyds is about to pay another
visit to Paris. M. de Blowitz says that
no doubt the Transvaal envoy has
noted that the papers which have be-
come his m%outhpiece and defend his
cause most warmly show a diminution
of zeal when he is not at hand to fire
their ardor. This fact reminds M. de
Blowitz of a little incident which he
once witnessed at Berlin as he sat at
table beside Prince Bismarck. In the
middle of the room was the princes
great black dog lying on the rug. To-
ward the middle of the dinner the but
Ter entered, carrying in n hand an
earthen bowl and in the other a big
platter full of boiled beef carefully
cut up. Prince Bismarck took the
boiled beef, emptied it into the bowl,
which already contained soaked bread,
and with his own hand began to knead
the dogs supper. A second servant
then brought the prince a bowl OF
warm water, and Bismarck, turning to
M. de Blowitz, with a gesture Of ex-
cuse, washed his hands, saying: "You
see, when you want a dog to be faith
full, to be a dog which you can count
pom you must feed him with your
own hand" That is probably Dr.
Leyds' opinion.-Chicago Record.

If there is anything in the popular
superstition among sailors that "a cat
brings good luck" the voyage of the
British steamship Thalia will be a
pleasant one,' says the Savannah
News. A fine, large Maltese cat went
aboard the day before she sailed, and
composedly curled herself up on the
heavily upholstered crimson sofa in
the officers saloon, and when the YES
sci sailed she was a contented pas
senger.
"She is an old traveller" said the
steward, as he stroked her soft fur,
''and this is not her first voyage. Cats
like a change, and they will visit one
vessel and then another in port until
they find one that suits them; and they
are knowing animals, and seem to
have some intuition when a vessel is
going to sail.
do l think a cat brings luck? Oh,
yes. It's good luck to have a cat come
to you. Why, that's not a supersti-
ton of sailors alone. Did you ever
see a landlubber that didn't believe it!
That cat will have the best treatment
on board; besides, there's no end tc
the rats on board, and the cat will be
useful as well as lucky for u.s."

SERVICE IN THE SENATE

who succeeded Carl Schurz, has been a
senator since 1875, and Mr.. Vest, who
succeeded Gen. Shields, has been a sem
ator since 1879, twenty-five years and
twenty-one years respectively. Sena-
tor Vests term has three years to run,
and that of Senator Cockrell five.
A small state which has been very
tenacious in the support of its senate
rial representatives is Nevada, Sena-
tor Jones having been first elected In
1873-about coincident with "the crime
of '73," of which much has been heard
in Nevada-and Senator Stewart hav-
ing been first elected in 1864, thirty
1869, but retired after sixteen years OF
service to re-enter the senate in 1887,
since which he has served consecu-
lively, and has been reelected for an
other term, at the conclusion of which
he will have had eighteen years of
years of actual service, with only one
break. Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire has been in Office since
1887. Senator Sewell of New Jersey
was first elected in 1881, but has not
been c~onsecutively in the senate. Sen
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island has been
a senator since 1881. He succeeded
Gen. Burnside. Senator Bate of Ten
nessee was elected in 1887, Senator
Daniel of Virginia in 1887, succeeding
Gen. Malone.
1t is usually to be observed that,
with the conspicuous exception of Mis-
souri,, it is the smaller states which
adhere to the policy of successive re-
elections for their senators. 1t is found
usually that a senator of long expert
ence can be of more service politically
to his constituents than n who is
less familiar with the conditions OF
Washington life, and in small states
the Importance of federal patronage is
not to be moderated.

Andreas Lachapa Of Mesa Grande,
Gal, is, as nearly as we car guess, 100
years old. The old Indians date all
events from the battle of San Pasqual,
In 1916. At that time his sons were
men. High above the valley upon
overlooking hills Lachapa heard the
thunder of the heavy guns and the
sharp crack of rifles, and the next day
saw the lead men. There were many.
The Spaniards told him to fight the
Grfngos, but he was afraid of the ter
rible noise.
Though his eyes are so dim, Lachapa
is looking for his son, Jesus Lachapa,
who left him twenty-five years ago,
and would now be about so years old.
Never a day but the old man looks for
the absent son, whom he hopes to find
before he dies.
Lachapa has known three conditions
of life. When he was a young man he
hunted deer, brought it home across
mis- shoulders, cut, roasted and ate it,
then danced and slept.
ErWe hunted rabbits and met the
Santa Ysabels and fought" he says
