Smallest of Microbes.

The smallest microbe yet known is said to have been discovered by O. Voges, of Buenos Ayres. It is much less than the influenza bacillus, and only just discernible when magnifed about 1,50o times. The work of the smallest bacterium in this troubled world is to produce deadly abscesses, known in South America as manguea, in cattle, with this special character istic-the hotter the climate the more fatal the infection. A further pecu- Rarity is that if the abscess is opened ip its early stages the disease is arrest ed and the animal saved. Minuteness of the germs of disease is no particular advantage to the victims; the influenza microbe makes up for it's diminutive- ness by overwhelming numbers.-Sci- ence.e

BARBER AND coBBLER.
Man Plying Double Vocation in the
 Brooklyn District.

DTOOhllu DlSlflcl.
 An instance of the benefits of organi- zation has recently come to light through the barbers' union. It is bet ter known to members of this craft than any other that hundreds of men possessing only the slightest skill in handling a razo4 upon landing in this country announce themselves as bar bers. In the Brooklyn district, the local barbers' union is meeting with the difficulties it experienced in this community. It was found that an Italian was plying the double vocation of barber and cobbler. To legally follow the latter he should have had a license but lacking this he was amenable to the union. The officers literally jump ed on him and gave him his alterna- tive of sticking to one of his two busi- nesses and he preferred that of barber. Then he was made file an application for a license and examination which cost him $5. The result is not yet known but it is surmised that he will be found incompetent for no mans hand and yet found able to wield the razor and the cobbler's knife with suffi- cient skill to entitle him to a license for either trade.

PECULIAR CURRENCY.
Dollars of a Century Ago Used in Abyssinia-Bnrs of Salt Are the
 Small Change.

The currency of Abyssinia is some what varied, to judge by an account given of it by Count Gleichen in his story of the mission to AIenelik, and reprinted by Popular Science Month ly.
 For standard money the people of Abyssinia use the Maria Theresa 17S0 dollars, but for small change a very different coin is resorted to. This is no other than bar of hard crystallized salt, about ten inches long and two and a half broad and thick, slightly tapering toward the end. Five of these bars go for dol lar at the capital.
 People are very particular about the standard of fneness of the cur rency. If it does not ring like metal when struck with the fnger-nail, or if it is cracked or clipped, they will not take it. It is a token of affec- tion when friends meet to give each other a lick of their respective amo- lis, and in this way the value of the bar is decreased.

No Motive Given For Crime.

SOUTH BIRMINGHAM, Mass, May 19.-Miss Nina Danforth, the de formed girl of West Newton who, after ringing his doorbell, shot and killed Andrew J. Emery, railroad fireman, as he opened the door at his home. passed a restless night and day under guard. She was hysterical at times and has complained of terrible head aches. It is feared that she may ut terly collapse before she is arraigned for a preliminary hearing. She has said but little to her guard, except that she has no regrets for her act. She will give no motive for committing the crime

GOOD PLACE FOR BUSINESS.
Running Trains From Dublin Street
 Station Will Boom Things.

lt
 The rush of business which is ex- pected to take place from now on at the Dublin street station will be apt to give things a boom in that section and already people are talking about the need of a good restaurant ill the neighborhood. Dublin street is bound to become a popular thoroughfare, if 1t is not so at the present time, and a man who would open a first class cafe in the vicinity of the station should experience no trouble in making II pay. 1t is one of the handsomest streets in the city the grade being all most level from the bridge to the ceme- tery and the roadway of sufficient width to allow three or four teams to pass at the same point without col lision. On the east side the row of um- brageous elms and poplars that skirt the way has no equal ill Waterbury. None of the trees is in the sidewalk and yet all are near enough to it to afford a delightful shade for pedes- trians. In some places they reach across the street, so people in teams get the benefit of them. Wouldn't it Jar you to hear the trolley men talk about the need of service on the Water town road while they are beautifully silent on the question in a street that has eighteen trains stopping at it's door daily.

OUR FRENCH GUESTS.
Notable Persons Here to Attend Ro- chambeau Monument Unveiling.

Notable Persons Here to Attend Ro-
 chambeau Monumene Unveiling.
 NEW YORK, May 19.-The steamer La Touraine, bearing the French men and women who have come to this country to attend the unyeiling of the statue of Rochambeau at Washington on May 24, is in port. They are M. Guillemin, M. de Billy and Vicomte de Chambrun, representatives of M. Del casse, French minister of foreign af- fairs; Comte and Comtesse de Rocham- beau, the Comtesse de Chambl'dn, wife of the older brother of Vicomte de Chambrun, formerly Miss Longworth of Cincinnati; M. Croiset, dean of Sar- bonne university, who came as the rep resentative of the French minister of instruction; NJ. Lagraye. French com missioner general to the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition; Ferdinand Hamar, the sculptor of the Rochambeau statue, and NJ. Hamars father.
 The party was met down the bay by NJ. Jules Beurre, chancellor of the French embassy at Washington, and J. B. Reynolds, Mayor Lows secretary. At the pier were NJ. Bruwaert, the French consul general here; Comte de Sahune de Lafayette and several oth- CTS. Once ashore the party drove im- mediately to the Waldorf Astoria.
 The party greatly enjoyed the trip up the bay and was amazed at the high buildings which it saw from the yes sells deck.
 The Comtesse de Chambrun was greatly interested in the statue of Lib erty.
 The Vicomte de Chambrun is a direct descendant of the Lafayette family and is, in fact, the great-great-g of General Lafayette. He is young man, but has been here before. He speaks good English. The Comte de Rochambeau, however, has only a slight knowledge of English, and Secre- tary Reynolds had to talk entirely in French. The comte is tall and good looking.
 Ferdinand Hamar, the sculptor, is deaf and dumb and was forced to carry on conversation by means of a pencil and pad. The sculptor wrote that the statue in Washington was a duplicate of one which he had made in the gar dens of the Comte de Rochambeau at Vendome, France.
 Most of the party will stay here for several weeks after the ceremonies at Washington.

HIGH PRICE OF MEAT.
Eastern Men Not a Success in the Raising of Cattle.

Eastern Men Not q Success Ill lhe Raising of Cattle.
 Representative George L. Liliey was asked yesterday if he knew when the price of meat would take drop. MT Lilley is the local representative of Lll- ley. Swift S Co and ought to know great deal about the condition of the meat market. He said that instead or the market taking a drop he would not be surprised if the market went up. At all events he said the price would not take drop until grass cat tie come in and that would not be before July. Mir Lilley thereupon went on to explain the extremely hi2h price of meats. He said that years ago, about 1882, those engaged in the raising of cattle saw nothing ill the business and hundreds of them sent their agents east to get buyers to buy them out Many ranches were sold ln this city, and thousands of eastern uien went into the business. The conse- luences were that the price of beer wholesale, was as low as five cents pound. In few years the customers found they were not adapted to the business of raising cattle and competi- ton was so rife tllat those who had the chance to get out did so. without any delay, and thus gradually the business became concentrated. There is not one of the large packing houses engaged in the business of raising cat tie. They have theii. agents buying just as any other person would buy cattle. They have not a penny in any of the cattle ranches, big or small, and when cattle are scarce as at present, they feel it as the consumers do. Afr Lilley said finally that he doubted if any business in the whole country earned so small a per cent as Lilley, Swift 2 Co. This concern earned just one per cent, but having an enormous capital involved, the earnings natural ly were enormous also, put still it amounted only to one per cent. He said that the inquiry into che so-called beef trust would not amount to anything; that trust cannot DC proved.
