The Parasites of Man.

From the London Chronicle.
''The Flora of Man" may seem at first
sight somewhat inexplicable, but 1t formed
the subject of highly interesting address
delivered before the Manchester Literary
and Philosophical Society by DR.. E. Metch-
nikoff of the Pasteur Institute, Parts. The
lecturers text was the distribution of mi
crobes-which are flora of lower kind
within mans frame. All germs are not
disease-producing. Many of them are our
friends while some are undoubtedly our
foes. and very grim and powerful enemies
indeed. For example, 1t was shown that
our digestive system is a territory wherein
a large number of microbes disport them
selves, many species aiding the digestive
processes. One of the most interesting
parts Of DR.. Metchnikoffs lecture was that
in which he detailed how microbes that
are harmless when occupying what one
might call their natural habitat, become
injurious when they pass to another region
OF the body. Thus 1T IS that, in certain
diseases the germs thatiare innocuous while
they reside on the skin surface, produce
boils and other ailments when they pass
inward and invade what is to them foreign
territory. In the mouth, which is veri-
table hothouse as far as the growth of
germs Is concerned, over thirty species of
microbes have been found, and Metchnikoff
attributes the rapid healing of wounds in
the mouth to the action Of these micro
scopic tenants OF ours. Clearly, the case Of
the microbe Is much strengthened when we
find that Its presence Is necessary, or, at
least, constant. in connection with certain
important vital processes

Special TO the Ardmoreite.
Pauls Valley, |. T., Aug. 90
This morning man came into
town for a doctor and also for a
warrant for the arrest of a Mrs.
Hazelwood. He told sad story.
An old man named Adcock lives
in a tent and has a little crop near
Chalk Bluff crossing on the Washi-
ia river about two miles north west
Of this place.
About seven or eight feet away
his widowed daughter a Mrs.
Hazelwood lived. The woman is
flighty and since she left Georgia
some years ago, has not teen very
bright, especially after her hus-
band died aud she made a parting
visit to his grave, she has been
very queer.
This morning one of her children
was throwing something at its
grandmother and Adcock came to
her about it, when she cut him
with knife, he had hoe in his
hand, leaning on it, and when he
tried to knock the blow off, he cut
a small place on her head She
then went into the tent and as the
old man laid down his hoe, she
came back with 80 calibre Smith
& Wesson pistol in her hand and
shot him with it. Immediately cock
ing it to fire again, but her father
licked up a club aud she ran away.
The bullet hit Adcock on the
right side, and the doctors say that
it glanced out, but Adcock says he
can feel the bullet in bis side yet.
Mrs. Hazelwood has one sister in
the asylum now, and one died
there.

Give Everybody a Chance.

Emerson's dctum that we should
treat every one as II he We're all he
ought to be Is an excellent rule to prac-
tice In daily life. 1t is human nature
to rise to the level that Is expected of
1t. 1t is not necessary TO waste time
upon uncongenIal people unless you are
bound to them by strong family ties.
but IL Is important that all with whom
you come In contact be studied. with
the desire on your part to give credit
for all that Is good In them and that
nothing In their outward circumstances
or appearance be allowed to prejudice
you against them.-Ada q. Sweet In

There is nothing that makes men
rich and strong but that which they

the heart, not oi the hand.
II the few are called TO the work

Christian living. Gospel preaching
and godly lives mean glorious results
for God and humanity.
1t is easy for Us 20 forgive one for
