DISEASE GERMS.
What Becomes of Them After the
Death of Their victim:

In a recent number of a German jour.
nal devoted TO bacteriology an interesting
summary is presented of certain results
attained by DR. Klein in the course of Il
long series of experiments made lately in
which DR.. Klein endeavored successfully
to ascertain what becomes of disease
germs after the death of their victim
f5ese experiments had very decided
practical value. as the conditions which
they proved to exist dispose eifectually
of one of the arguments which has been
often used by advocates of cremation.
These latter have held that disease
germs could retain their vitality for an
indefinitely long period in the buried body
and that therefore cemeteries, in addition
to being harmful because of the decaying
organic matter which they contained,
were positively dangerous because they
acted as immense storage reservoirs for
the bacteria of the different diseases.
DIR. klcin's results correct this mis-
taken idea. In order to carry out his eX-
periments satisfactorily he buried ami
mails which had died from certain known
diseases, disinterred the bodies ut the end
of varying periods and examined the
organs for bacteria.
The bacillus of Asiatic cholera was
still living at the end of nineteen days.
but after being buried for twenty-eight
no living specimen could be found. The
typhoid fever bacillus was able to exist
for about the same length of time. while
the germ which causes the bubonic plague
was able to survive an interment of sew
entcen days, but was never found living
at the end of three weeks.
The bacillus of consumption lives for
but a short time after the death of its
victim. DIR. Klein always found it with
out difficulty in the organs. but was new
er able to obtain successful culture
What is perhaps of even greater impor-
lance, he was never able to cause tuher-
culosis by injecting the bacteria thus
found into the system of Il healthy ami
NAL.

The Feeding of Horses.

When it is remembered that the stom-
ach of horse is really small in proper
ton to the size of his body. it will be
seen that it requires feeding oftcn-even
four times a day. Unlike human beings,
horses should drink before eating. and
drink as much as they like. Owing to
a strange internal arrangement in a
horse, the water does not remain in the
itomach, but passes through into the
eGcum, large intestine.
If horse should be fed first, one can
readily see that the water in flowing
through would carry with it some OF the
food and thus produce collie. \ horse il
watered four times a day will never take
much-not too much. He is fed. i must
be remembered. upon dry food, and that
with the quantity of hard work done
would produce a fevcrShness which a
proper amount of water will very much
allay.

One of the common mistakes made by
the tyro in public speaking is tina, of ex-
hauSting his subject and his audience at
the same time. BY too great discursive-
ness the pith of the subject is lost. and
what might have been victory is turned
into signal defeat, To save such dis
aster one should think carefully upon
any subject before attempting to talk
upon it, and in the thinking keep strict.
ly to the salient points and the simplest
possible form of giving them expression.
Only the born orator, the genius. may
safely venture into the flower garden of
speech and indulge in glowing and highly
colorcd perorations. To the ordinary
speaker close attention to facts and sim
pie statements in well chosen and con
vincing language are the safest and
surest means of winning golden opinions
for self and success for ones cause at
the same time.

SOIilOquies In the Shade.

When n man flatters himself that he
knows woman, he-hatters himself.
The most effective argument a charm
Ing woman can use to a man is an APP
pealing Don't you think SOP"
When girl says emphatically that she
won't ii is morally certain that she will;
when she says she will, will she?
The greatest lack of logic is displayed
by the man who. reasons logically with a
woman.
The girl who judges man from the
curl of his mustache does not deserve
much sympathy when she is disilusioned.
The gaudy tinsel of admiration is a
surer bait for woman than the gold of de-
vout love.
Man loves to be praised for his intui-
ton, woman for her logic. As a rule.
neither possesses either.

Others should take their worries so much

A Yinit In Scctinns.

When Harriet Beecher Stowe was
alive. Mark Twain. who lived near her in
Hartford, had way of running in to
converse with her and her daughters,
often in somewhat negliEce costume,
greatly to the distress Of Mrs. Clemens.
One morning as he returned from the
Stoves sans necktic Mrs. Clemens met
him ut the door with the exclamation;
"Thprc sam. you must have been over
to the Stoves again without a necktic.
It's really dissraceful the way you
neglect your dress" Her husband said
nothing hut went to his room. 4 few
minutes later Mrs. Stowe was summon
ed to the door by a messenger who pre-
scented her with small box neatly done
up. She opened it and found black silk
necktie accompanied by the following
note Here is nccktie. Take ii out and
look at it. | think stail half an hour
this morning. At the end of that time
will you kindly return it, as il is the only
one | have? Mark Twain. STRAY

riedly down the stairs into the kitchen.
An hour afterward. as we were sitting
waiting for our dinner, Jane brought a
note from Miss G.. inclosing her account
and saying that she had just had tele-
gram summoning her to the sickbed of a
relation. that in all probability she would
not be back till after our departure. but
that she had left directions with the serv-
ants and hoped they would make us quite
comfortable and that we would excuse
her hurried departure.
a few minutes after a cab drove up to
the door, into which, from our window,
we saw Miss G. get and drive rapidly
away.
Later on in the evening, while Jane was
clearing away the dinner things, | said to
her, by the bye. Jane. who is the third

room as spoke. Instead of replying she
turned round with such a scared look on
her face that felt quite alarmed. Then.

To Test the oven.

A celebrated French cook always tried
his oven with white kitchen paper. which
he placed on the shelf in the oven on
which the article to be be cooked was to
be put and left it there for five minutes
If at the expiration of that time it was
charred, the heat was too great; if it was
dark brown the oven was right for small
pastries and thin cakes; if light brown it
was suitable for pound cakes, pie crusts,
etc. IL only a dark yellow, puff pastes,
sponge cake mixtures and meringues
might be put in.

Learn to Laugh,

Learn to laugh. a good laugh is better
than medicine. Learn to tell story. A
well told story is as welcome as a sun
beam in sickroom. Learn to keep your
own troubles to yourself. The world is
too busy to care for your ills and sor-
rows. Learn to do something for others.
Even if you are bedridden invalid there
Is always something that you can do to
make others happier, and that is the
Burest way to attain happiness for your
self.-Boston Beacon.
