An Embarrassing Moment.

The author of COLLECTIONS and Rec.
elections relates a personal expert
ence of having said a thing n would
rather have left unsaid." Even after
the lapse of twenty years. he adds, the
recollection of the sensations of the
moment turns him hot with chagrin.
A remarkably pompous clergyman, a
diocesan inspector Of schools, once
showed me a theme on a seriptural sub
Ject, written by a girl who was trying
to pass from the rank of a pupil-teach-
err to the rank of schoolmistress. The
theme was full of absurd mistakes,
over which the Inspector laughed up
roariously.
well, what do you think of that?"
he inquired. when l handed back the
paper.

the mistakes are bad enough, but the
writing is far worse. 1t really is a dis

fuse to be nourished on any food but
that mealy vegetable known as the
Irish potato. A small portion of the
suspected specimen is placed on one
of these different mediums and trans
ferred to the Incubator. In a short
time the operator is able TO determine
by the growth on the medium whether
disease germs Turk in the patient from
whom the specimen came. If the cul-
ture tube indicates that germ growth
has taken place, a thorough identified
ton is made under the powerful tense
of a microscope. So exact and search
ing have the investigations of the many
noted scientists been that the bacteri-
ologist is able to tell at a glance just
what bacilli are present, and the at
tending physician has a final and con-
elusive confirmation or rejection of his
first diagnosis. At the time of the
newspaper mans visit the incubator
contained a full assortment of tubes
filled with colonies of deadly little
germs. One small tube contained

THE FUN OF CAMPING OUT.

the deep woods in quest of big game
and fish the camp life is, after all, the
real attraction, and not the mere de.

these trips there are thousands who
cannot. For these there are peaceful

London, Jan. 15.-Perhaps the most

weekly report, dated Johannesburg,
January 10, is the omission Of all men
ton Of Gen. Dewet, from which is de-
duced that the British commander-in-
chief is more than usually hopeful

effort to surround Dewet. Since the
disaster Of Zeefontein, strong British
columns have been PersistentIy dog

trains have prevented him from cross

him northward. Lord Kitchener is

lays and remounts. Lord Kitchener
reports that since January 6, 30 Beers
have been killed, wounded and %
captured and that 95 have surren-
dered.
Lord Kitchener reports the narrow
escape of Gen. BOtha from capture by
Gen. Bruee-HamiltOn. Hearing of a
