head disappeared and the lid was pulled
down to its position within the churn.
Poor Nancy was swayed between indigna-

circus denouement-and it is more than
probable laughter, and right hearty laugh

Nancy was touched by the feeling ex-

down her eyes as she said

indignation.

Instantly Nancy's little hand shot up
more rapidly than he could have been pre-
pared for, and with the back of it she drew
him a sounding smack along the mouth,
which stopped him in mingled amazement
and pain.

''Heigho." Nancy sighed, as she scrubbed

Microscope n Factor.
The advance of the medical art proper
although so rapid IN itself, has been slow
compared with that of other sciences, but
this is owing, not to any lack of enthusiasm
in its devotees, but to the mysteries of the
processes of life, which are SO difficult of
solution, and also to the fact that medicine
necessarily develops in the wake of the
allied sciences, being dependent upon them
for its eyes, its hands and it's ears. Per-
haps the most potent factor in the advance
ment of medicine has been the microscope
Prior to its perfection we only guessed
in a general way at the causes of disease
The germ theory was a mere speculation
accepted by few and secuted by many
The world of infinite littleness was as diff
ficult of mental grasp as that of infinite
greatness. Little by little, step by STEP
the patient lensmaker, calculating his an
giles, working on bits of glass smaller than
wheat berries, evolved an instrument that
pierced the darkness and revealed to thou
sands of eager eyes the long-looked- for
secrets of the germ world. Today the per-
fected microscope magnifies more than IT,
900 times, but those figures do not convey
any realization of the vast MULTIPLICATION of
areas that are actually comprised. Some
idea may be given, however, by saving
that a common fly an eighth of an inch tall
and a quarter of an inch long would be
magnifed into a monster thirty-six feet
in height and seventy-six feet in length. A

lens which would magnify like this could
show only portion of the fly's body at
one time, however. and to explore the
whole surface a skilled microscopic would
be obliged 10 work for three days, Of ten
hours each.
The wonders which now unfolded them
selves to the eyes of science seemed almost
beyond belief. Bacteria were found every
wherein the earth the air, the water.
They We're seen Astounding in all putrient
and fermenting substances in which or
ganic matter existed, and were soon recog-
nized as the prime cause of putrefaction.
In proof of this it was learned that or
ganic matter when exposed only to steril-
lied air never putrefies, and that if bac-
terra could be excluded from wounds the
latter would heal without suppuration.
The Study of Bacteria.
From the mere discovery of bacteria to
their Identification and classification was
comparatively but step. 1t was found
that they could be cultivated artificially
1t was only necessary to immerse a needle
in any substance containing bacteria and
then thrust it into some culture media, such
as soup, jelly, cornstarch, or coagulated

The Rooster Wa. Game.

A Rockland young man is the owner
of a smart rooster and has long enter
tanned suspicion that the bird might
have inherited gamy characteristics
from some long forgotten ancestor. To
apply this theory in an actual test he
went home the other night, surrepti-
tiously conveyed the parlor mirror into
the hen pen and held it before the gaze
of the wondering rooster.
The young man was not kept long in
suspense as to the birds fighting quail
tiles. After n brief, incredulous glance
at the proud reflection in the glass the
rooster descended upon the object with
spurs set and wrath cleaning from
each beadlike eye. There were a crash,
a smash and Il clatter, and when the
dust and feathers cleared away the
young sportsman stood, a dismayed
spectator, in the center of a pile of
ruins formed of broken mirror, Stats
and pulveriZed plate glass.
He is now satisfied with the rooster,
but how he squared himself about the
broken mirror is not known.-Bangor

druggists.

If you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have Il clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needfu1 quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, bi1iousness, sour
stomach, or any other ai1ment of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With perfect digestion go a strong,
healthy body, clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
eases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DIR. r. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more efficacious though it
emanated from a council of the leading
physicians of the world.

Fairly Good Time.

Seated around Il Topeka railroad
lunch counter the other day were four
old Santa Fe engineers. They were
telling of fast runs. Three of them had
told their stories. THE fastest run 1
ever made" said the fourth, after lis
tening to the lies of the others, was
between Topeka and Emporia not long
ago. 1t was a bright moonlight night.
We were behind when we pulled out of
Topeka and had orders to make up all
lost time between here and Emporia.
After reaching the top of the Pauline
hill l pulled the throttle wide open and
let her go. The old engine fairly ate
up the track. When we stopped at
Emporia, looked back 4 mile or so
and saw something black approach
ing us. 1 could not think what it was.
L watched it closely. Finally it came
up opposite the engine and stopped. 1t
was the shadow of the train.'-Kansas

sapphires Not All Blue.

at is commonly believed that the
sapphire is known only as a gem of n
rich velvety blue in color" observed an
experienced dealer in precious stones
to the writer the other day. Gas a
matter of fact the sapphire occurs in
various hues. In Ceylon, for instance,
where the finest specimens of this gem
are found, it ranges from the soft vel
vety blue to the peacock blue, gradu-
ated in the latter to an almost faultlesS
white. 1t also occurs in whites. greens
and yellows, the latter shade being
known as the oriental topaz and the
green the oriental emerald.
THE white sapphires are often found
clouded or streaked with blue, so that
many specimens are cut which are
white when looked at transversely, but
having a bit of fine blue tint on the IN
der point. Then there is the red sap
phire, or Ceylon ruby. 1t is valued as
highly as the finest Burmese rubies.
Those most highly priced are of rich
pigeon blood or rose red color.
Some very fine sapphires have been
found in Montana during the past ten
years. The American gems are light
blue, blue green, green and pink, but
the deep blue and red stones, which are
chiefly in demand as jewels, have so
far never been discovered in any part
of this country. "-NNashington Star.

How Far Apart Did They Live.

A DOMESTIC EPISODE.
The WIfe's Artistic Decoration of
the Little Drawing Room.

When he got home that night. she
confronted him at the door, and he
gasped with horror. She was not
dressed for dinner, and she had one
arm in sling. Both thumbs Were
done up in huge bzSidages. There was
a towel tied around her tousled head
and a cut over one of her eyes. The
odor of liniment was heavy on the air.
For heavens sake what has hap
pened:" he asked.
Without a word she led the way into
the little drawing room. Over the
cushioned couch oriental draperies had
been dispersed artistically with spears
and armor, forming a beautiful, coy
corner. \ lamp, burning dimly, hung
in the center.

Il had grown tired waiting for you 70

He seated himself luxuriously among

simply, yet proudly. Il only fell off
the stepladder twice"
There were almost tears in his voice
when he spoke. 1t really touched him
TO see her standing there bandaged like
a broken down race horse. Besides
that, no one knew how he had dreaded
the task of putting it up himself.
"Ah," he said, when will we men
realize what n priceless treasure we
gain when we win the love of a true
woman
He stretched out his arms affection
ately toward her, and the entire thing
collapsed about his head with a crash.
