CHEMISTRY IN MODERN LIFE.

The disinfection of the sick-room
and the antiseptic methods which go
far toward the creation of modern sur
gerry all depend upon chemical pro-
ducts whose long list increases year by
year. Crude drugs are now replaced
laboratory morphine, quinine, and the
like-and instead of the bulky, nause
Gus draughts of olden time, the invalid
is given tasteless capsules of gelatin
or compressed tablets Of uniform
strength and more accurately graded
power. A great part of physiology
consists of the study of chemical pro-
cesses, the transformation of COM
pounds within the living organism, and
practically all this advance is the Gre
alton of the nineteenth century. Mod
ern bacteriOlOgy at least in it's prac-
tical applications, began with chem
ical discussion between Liebig and
Pasteur as to the nature of fermenta-
ton: step by step the field of explora-
ton has enlarged; as a result of the in
vestlgations we have preventive med
icine, most perfect sanitation, and anti
septic surgery. The ptomaines which
cause disease and the antitoxins whic
prevent it are alike chemical in their
nature, and were discovered by chem
ical methods. Physiology without
chemistry could not exist; even the
nh
ingless before the discovery of oxygen.
The human body is a chemical labora
tory, and without the aid of the chem
list it's mysteries can not be unraveled.

LOCALIZED CITY ROBBERY.

The city of New York is a purchaser
in the open market of supplies ex-
ceeding in value $5,OO0,OOO a year.
This figure applies only to articles
purchased without competitive bid
ding. There is in the charter pro-
vision that all purchases of supplies
and labor in excess of $1,000 shall be
made by open competitive bidding.
This leaves wide field for fraud and
favoritism, and it is an easy matter
to evade the spirit and letter of the
law relating to competition. IF a de-
partment requires material and sup
plies amounting to $4,000, or even
$4,000, it is often possible to make
the purchases in lots of less than
81, 900 from day to day, and thereby
obey the letter of the law while per-
mitting the grossest frauds against
the city treasury. Under the system
that has grown up, protected by this
imperfect legal restriction and opin-
ions and decisions to the effect that
the city has no defense against ex-
cessive claims unless fraud and con-
spiracy can be proved, robbery of the

A circular recently sent out by the
Maine Board of Health very usefully
summarizes the present state of
knowledge in regard to consumption.
Consumption, it is shown, is infecti-

human beings or from the milk or
flesh of animals that have the disease.
The tuberculosis of mankind and
animals-cows, for examples of the
same nature. The main source of in
lection is the expectoration (sputum)
of human beings. The sputum con-
tains thousands Of disease germs, and
when one takes these into the mouth
they develop within the body-in the
lungs or stomach-and produce the
mains moist it is not infectious, but
when it dries upon the floor, upon
carpets, handkerchiefs or clothing and
is scattered as a dust which floats in
the air, it is exceedingly dangerous.
It is breathed and infectS the lungs.
The careless consumptive patient is a
focus of infection, especially to those
who occupy the same room with him.
Consumption, in brief, is house
disease and may be guarded against
by ventilation Pure air is the de-
sideratum for living rooms, school
rooms and sleeping rooms. There is
tendency to recovery in the early
stages of the disease. Cure is not
impossible under modern treatment.
A large percentage of cases, it is stated,
do recover. In any case there is no
reason for any one to think he is
doomed by heredity, no matter what
his family history may be. The con-
sumptive is urged to cough gently
with the mouth closed as much as
possible and never swallow the sput-
UNI, lest the disease be communicated
to the intestines. Living in the open
air is the best treatment. The expert
ence of consumptives during the civil
war showed this conclusively. The
consumptive is urged to pass almost
the whole day in the open air.

HIS EXCUSE.

The thought of thee, divinely sweet,
Some spell upon them filings.
My words are lost, are all unfit,
The music rings untrue;
Unworthy thoughts and missing wit!

Unshared, virgin VOW.

At thy dear shrine who bow?

To fnd-to keep-thy heart!

MYSTERIOUS NIPPUR.
Excavations Where Depth of Ten
Feet Marks Centuries.

"Calneh, or ancient Nippur, where
excavations by the University of
Pennsylvania are now being made,
lies at the bottom of a great sand
dune in Mesopotamia-tha is, ancient
Babylonia, and today-May, 1904
party of Psychologists is deIVing
through the debris of 1000 years for
the records that were made con-
temporaneous to old-time reckoning
of the deluge. From the marshy
plain surrounding Calneh the sand
dune looks little like the key to the
beginnings Of history Standing
amid a clump of Arab mud huts
where the horses are still of native
strain, and the men still use match
locks inlaid with Arabesques, one
might figure mighty whirlWind of
the desert staggering across the
wastes picking up sand until it could
carry no more and collapsing finally,
on the site of the ancient city. But in
that huge mound are tunnels leading
in and down, and deep riffs and pits
and projecting walls of ancient cities,
and platforms of baked clay, and
stone stairways up which today hum
dreds of Arab porters are carrying
baskets of sand. From the summit
of the pile one can look afar off to
the sun just cleaning above the hor-
lion of the twentieth century, and
then walk slowly down toward the be-
ginnings of civilization. Walk as
slowly as you may, and at the first
dozen steps of descent you have pass
ed the level of the. Christian era. The
baked clay to the right of you was
placed there by Ashurbanipal, king
more than 600 years before Christ. A

few steps further and at your feet
are the markings of Kadashman-T ur-
gu 14O0 B. c.. Down again, further,
and you are walking on a platform
laid in the time of Ur-Gur centuries
before Abraham, the founder of the
Jewish nation, was born. Down, still
further down, only few feet, and
you are standing on the temple plat
form laid by Sargon I. and Marin Sin,
$500 B. C.-Sargon whose existence
even Biblical scholars have said was
mythical Sargon, whose name, never
theless, is stamped in every brick.
Finally, through a hole broken in this
platform, you may look down past
thirty feet of debris to the site of
ancient Nippur or Calneh and see the
fragments Of arches, sacrifcial urns
and affairs built at least 4,500 B. C.
The Septuagint, written $50 B. c.,
places the creation of the world at
about $500; and with this in mind,
it is difficult in the nineteenth century
to gaze upon these evidences of mans
handiwork and realize that the work
men lived more than 1000 years ago.
And yet this is by no means the
strangest feature, for the records of
these workmen show that they lived
not within a comparatively few gener-
atoms of the beginning of the world,
but that they were part of a civiliza-
ton as highly developed as that of
the Greeks; that men carried on the
business of life in a manner and with
ambitions and desires not very diff
ferent from those of our time, and
that, most remarkable of all, this
state of affairs had then been going on
for many thousands of years. Evi
dence of all this is found stamped on
the tablets and vases which are being
unearthed today from the ruins of
Calneh 1t is wonderful story,

bearing on the beginning and end of
human life than anything else re-

THE WEE ONE.

Down at our house is a wee one,
And nobody ever could see one
More sweet and complete from the
tips Of his feet
To the soft fluffy down on the top of
his crown.
Oh, the hue Of his eyes is the blue Of
the skies.
And the guile of his smile like the
laugh of the day.
Merry and winning and gladstone and
gay,
While his cheeks are like clover, with
pink flushing over
From the break of the dawn to the
set of the sun.
There is nothing you'll see that is
fairer than he.
Two fat little fists has the wee one,
And he always can show you free
To tear at your hair and to make
havoc there.
And a dimple he'll find you still fur
Their to bind you;
And he's two little teeth lately out
from their sheath
That will bite with delight on your
finger or knuckle.
Or make tiny dents on your watch or
your buckle,
While his feet growing holder will
drum on your shoulder.
But who minds the scars when they're
every one done
By that mischievous mite, that witch
ing young wight,
Our own little, dear little wee one!
All, many friend has the wee one,
And he knows if you happen to be
one;
He'll gurgle and COO and he'll frolic
with you.
Or stretch out his arms with his
prettiest charms,
And fret when you wake him to get
you to take him:
He'll hoax you and coax you and cut
up his capers,
Toss over your treasures and tumble
your papers;
You have to attend him, you have to
befriend him.
But who can help loving that bundle
of fun.
That giver of joy, that bright little
boy,
God bless him. our dear little wee
one!
Martha Burr Banks, in Outlook.

THOUGHT IT WAS SATURDAY.

Col. A. P. Creedle, one of the most
conscientious merchants, and one who
has never been known to open his
store or sell cents worth of goods
on Sunday, forgot to keep tally last
week, and came down Sunday morn
ing last and opened his store as usual.
While sweeping out the house he was
noticed by Squire Phillips, who went
over to ask him what it all meant
that he was opened on Sunday morn
ing. The veteran merchant protested
vigorously that it was Saturday, and
the neighbors had to be called in to
convince him of the mistake.-Fulton
