SPREAD OF CONTAGION.
Transmission of Diseases Now Is
Checked by Studying the ways of
Microbes and Serus.

In these days we have most of us
that is to say the Catching" quality
of a diseases in every case a mat
ter of a specific microbe or germ. By
specific is meant that each disease
has its own microbe, and one cannot
catch the disease except by receiving
in one way or another that particular
germ.
These germs have their own manners
and customs, means of travel and pre-
scribed length of life, and it is by the
study of these details that we learn
how to avoid the transmission of con-
tagious illnesses. We know, for in
stance, that to get typhoid fever or
cholera the microbe has to be taken
into the system in the form of i'm
pure food or water, and so every year
more and more precautions are taken
to have the water-supplies of our big
cities free from contamination, and
tricter attention is given o the purity
of our food. An outbreak of typhoid
fever is no longer considered, in the
old sense. visitation of Providence"
but is recognized as a shame and re-
Election on local conditions, wherever
1t occurs.
Consumption and whooping-cough,
we know, are passed from one person
to another by means of the eXpectora-
tions, and it is to be hoped that in the
near future we shall put this knowl-
edge to better use than we do at pres
ent, and protect ourselves by much
more stringent rules. General eX-
pectoration is a public offense and
menace, and should be made a penal
matter. The danger with eXpectorated
matter is that it dries and is then
scattered by the wind so that one and
all must take the risks. This outrage
should be so handled by all in authori-
ty that in the near future the present
condition of our cars and streets will
seem like an evil nightmare.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria are
caught by any emanations from the
body. especially the saliva. The poi
son can cling for months and years
TO clothes and toys and books, and
those things should always be de-
stroyed if they have come in contact
with the sick, and sick-rooms should
be fumigated and made scientifically
clean before they are again occupied.
Notwithstanding all our precautions
there will always be disease germs.
but the most virulent germ can do
no harm unless it finds its proper soil,
and there is no armor to compare with
the resistant power of perfect health.

HOME CHEESE MAKING.
Process of Manufacture, Together
with All Other Necessary Re-
quirements, DESCRIBED in Full.

Where but two or three cows are
kept it is better to buy what cheese
is consumed than to try to make it..
Where cheese may be needed it may
be well for two or three farmers to
go together and let one party make
cheese for all. Twenty-Five gallons of
milk will make a cheese of 20 pounds.
This will require a hoop about IL
inches in diameter and about the
same in height. The other require
ments will be the cheese tub to set
the milk in, basket, a strainer cloth
for draining the curd, and a press
of suitable size to accommodate the
cheese to be made. The milk should
be heated to about so or 81 degrees.
Soak rennet in a weak brine, using
about three quarts foEAne rennet.
One rennet will curdle about 1000
quarts of milk, and the quantity can
only be ascertained by experiment,
since they are of various strength.
but sufficient should be used to curd
the milk in 20 minutes. Cut in
squares of about an inch with knife
that will reach the bottom of the tub,
the whey dipped or run off and the
columns carefully broken with the
hand. Heat the whey that has been
dipped off, or an equal amount Of
water to $50 degrees and turn this
over the curd so that all parts may
be scalded alike. Stir Slowly and
carefully. Cover so as to prevent
cooling and let it stand about 20
minutes, when the whey is dipped OIL
again and the whey allowed to drain
off. In about 20 minutes ii will re
sufficiently cool to again he turned in
the tub, where it is stirred or cut up
fine enough so as to take salt freely
and through all parts of the curd
Put in about one ounce of salt to each
~ quarts of milk. When salt is thor
oughly mixed with Sle curd it is
dipped into the cheese hoop, which
has had cloth previously put in it
Bring the cloth all about the curd
and put to pressing. The pressure
should be moderate at first, and as
soon as it is sufficiently pressed To
handle take it out and put in a dry
cloth in the same press. This cloth
should be made TO fit the press as
smoothly as possible, so the cheese
will be of an even shape. Put it in
the press, and let it remain until the
press is wanted for another cheese,
or about Is to "a hours. After TAX
ing from the press let it stand for
awhile. until the outside hardens anu
then rub it with hot whey, butter or
other soft ureoSe rubhinO and turn-
ing thus daily until it is cured, which
will require some days.-The Home

THE WORLDS PEARLS.
Most of Them are found in the Wa.
ters of Thursday Island, in the
south Pacific Ocean.

A pearling lugger is lying at an.
Choir off Thursday island, Torres
strait, South Pacific ocean. This wide
expanse of dimpled water is the most
important pearl fishing territory in
the world. The floor of the ocean here
is inlaid with shells worth 81 900 a ton,
and full many gem of purest ray
serene" lies on that luxurious bed
that is worth $4,000 in the markets
Thursday island lies between New
Guinea and Australia, in a strait SO
miles wide that is dotted with islands
and coral reefs. There is big island
for every day in the week, but Thurs.
day island guards the strait and has
fort, a harbor and a town, the lat
ter literally paved with pearl shells.
1t is on the beds and reefs of coral that
pearl oyster thrives best, and there
it grows to an enormous size, some
having been found that measured
foot and a half across. More than
81, 900 900 worth of these shells are
shipped annually from Thursday is
land, and $50 such luggers are engaged
in pearl fishing and she'll fishing.
The Japanese are the best divers
for pearls, but there are also many
South Sea islanders, Malays, Danes
and Swedes engaged in the work Of
going under water and hunting for
gems. Each boat has an air-pumping
apparatus to supply the diver when
under water. With leaden shoes on
his feet and a glass front in his he'll
met, the diver walks about on the
ocean floor, fills his bag with shells
and signals to be drawn up. The bust
ness is dangerous, for there are sharks
and poisonous fish. To the sharks the
men throw chunks of salt beef. Then
there is the squid or devil fish that has
the unpleasant habit of clouding the
water with an inky fluid so he can APP
proach his victim unseen and crush
him with his tentacles. The shells are
all opened by white men in the pres
ence of the managers, for no one knows
which shell may contain a costly gem.

Long Distance Heating

There has been completed at ORES.
den, Germany, one of the largest long
distance heating plants in Europe.
This is used on many public buildings
on the left bank of the River Elbe, in
GLIDING the theater, museum, castle.
royal kitchen, thu custom house, etc.
The greatest distance from the central
station over which the heat is trans
mitted is three-quarters of a mile.
The total heat consumption per hour
is $500 900 heat units. The usual steam
pressure is two atmospheres. Ten of
total of IA boilers are used and to
guard against accidents two main
lines of pipes have been provided. 1t is
stated that the loss of heat in trans
mission is from four to Az per cent.
The largest pipes have a diameter of
s1s inches. The pipes are protected by
two layers of tin, the inner layer being
perforated and the outer one covered
with silk.

HELM for The Destitute.

Nine-tenths of the dead and injured
in the calamity at Shiloh Baptist
church were poor persons who had
many poor persons dependent upon
them. 1t is not too much to say that
the disaster made 500 persons help
less and destitute. Many of these
poor are small children.
This city is prosperous and money
is plentiful Surely out of the large
earnings and wealth of this community
there will be aid forthcoming for the
stricken and helpless of this appalling
disaster. Just what shape aid for the
living left helpless by the panic should
take, The Age-Herald is not prepared
to say. The Age-Herald will, however,
in the absence Of any organized action
acknowledge and forward to Pastor
Walker of Shiloh Baptist church any
funds committed to it's care.
II Mayor Drennen would call pub
lie meeting and organize a general
effort in behalf of the stricken families
he would certainly prevent much sllf-
fering. When one hundred bread
winners are suddenly stricken out of
existence, it is certain that much suf-
fering must follow unless the well-to-
do and the charitable come speedily
to their relief. The Age-Herald trusts
that Charity will speak out promptly
and generously, thus robbing the catas-
trophe OF some of its most sombre
features.

Crowded Streets.

Il was greatly interested in watching
the crowds on the sidewalks today" said
a northern man last night. Every one
knows that Birmingham is a thriving
city. but I was not prepared TO see such
animated scenes as met my gaze. Just
before noon I stood on First avenue, be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty-first streets,
and looked at the surging humanity on
both sides Of the avenue between Nine
teenth and Twentieth. II reminded me
Of some of the great thoroughfares Of
Chicago and New York. never saw any
thing like it in the south.
I'm the afternoon I was on Second ave-
nue. and could hardly make my way along
for the crowd. and Nineteenth street, be-
tween First and Fourth avenues was al
most as much crowded as Second avenue.
Birmingham or rather Greater Birming-
ham, has a population of about 10000, [
am told, but stranger, judging from the
number Of people hurrying 10 and fro
on the streets, would say Greater Biz
mingham had a population of not less
than 20O,e00"

Lack of American PLAYS.

Three American plays by three well
known American authors are all the
critics can thus far sec ahead for the
new season. Only three successful
American plays were brought out last
season. The playmakers of the coun-
try are Fitch, Thomas, Belasco and
Gillette, and it is difficult to extend
tie list The result is that British
playwrights monopolize the American
stage-men like Pinero Jones, Grundy,
Esmond, Carton, Chambers, Marshall
and Barrie.
The market is sound. The theaters
of the country are very prosperous,
and managers stand ready to welcome
an acceptable American play. They
read scores of them, and they now
and then waste a great deal of money
in presenting them, but the successful
play is chiefly notable by its absence
The remuneration offered is greater
here than in any other country. 1t in
eludes in many a case "a sum down"
as well as the customary percentage,
and yet there are few playwrights.
The basic obstacle seems to be
want of study or training for play
writing. To scholarship and the
dramatic instinct must be added
deal of practical knowledge, and it is
the last named that American play
writer's do not stop to acquire. And
yet good plays are long lived in this
large country. Beginning in the me-
tropolis they are presented year after
year in the lesser towns-at the one
night stands, coming up finally be-
fore the ten-twenty-thirty audiences,
and all the time the author is receiv-
ing handsome returns from his handi-
work.
The demand for good plays exceeds
the supply, and yet no one can see
signs of an increase in the product
American managers surely should not
be blamed. 1t is American art that is
deficient and unproductive, and our
art workers will not learn the play
wright's trade. Until they do Amer
lean plays will be few and far be-
tween.

An Unprecedented Panic

There have been panics in connec-
ton with earthquakes, or fires, or fall
ing walls, or explosions, in which the
loss of life at Shiloh church was ex-
ceeded, but probably no case of un-
qualified fright has ever in the
worlds history equalled in that re-.
spect the disaster Of Friday night.
Scarcely any blood was shed; no foun-
dalton existed whatever for sudden
departure from the church; it was
solely a catastrophe based on ground
less alarm. 1t was case of fright
and nothing else, and the panic
proper, or stampede, lasted but three
minutes, although an hour or more
was absorbed in getting the tangled
untangled.
Barring out the cases in which fire
or other substantial danger had part,
1t is probable the history of the civ
ilized world does not furnish a paral-
lei to the catastrophe at Shiloh Bap-
fist church. No calamity of such pro-
portions can be recalled in which
nothing but causeless fear was the
impelling motive. Reason was de-
.throned for moment, and the lobby

a Retter. BrIohter Alabama.

Frequent lynchings and equally fire.
uuent ballot box deviltries have long
been sinister influences in this state,
especially in demoralizing the youth
and leading all to look upon law and
order with contempt. The extent of
the decentralization has been appalling,
and it is this that led thoughtful men
to combine together for the purpose
OF adopting a constitution that would
restore to the state honest elections.
This has been accomplished, and moth
ing remains to be done in that diree-
ton except to overcome the evil hab-
its of the past. A few years of de-
termined effort in that direction will
accomplish the task
The twin evil. lynching, which is
even more anarchistic and demoraliz-
ing than dishonest elections, can also
be put under if the coming legislature
will give the executive power to sum-
mon special term of the circuit
court at any time. Armed with that
power the governor of the state can
guarantee the speedy trial of any
criminal. This will take away all ex-
cuse for lynching bees. except. of
course, the desire for excitement
among young men and boys, and this
desire must be repressed by moral in
fuences, and sternly punished when
it overleaps all bouncs.
When lynchings and dishonest cleo
tons become horrors of history only,
we will have new and better Ala
bama-one in which young men will
not be furnished object lessons
against law and order. The result
will be far-reaching and in every re
spect beneficial The trainers of the
new constitution intended to create
a brighter Alabama, and the indica
tions are that they builded wisely and
well. Every turn of the new wheel is
for the better, and the wonder soon
will be that the work was so long de-
layed.

he brought about II a pistol toter
fires at a man in a crowded street and
hits a child fifty feet beyond, the com
mon law adjudges him guilty Of muir
der, and the extension Of this legal
principle to any other act in a null
titude is what is needed in order to
advance public safety. In the first case
innocent blood is shed by a wrongful
and careless deed, and in the second
place a tragedy, perhaps, is preeipi-
tated by an unwarranted and inoppor-
tune stroke. No distinction should be
made in the application Of legal princi-
pies. And II the Shiloh tragedy leads
to a statute that fits all brawlers in
public places. much good will come

J. E. B. Stewart, that dashing gal
liant confederate cavalry general was the
first man in ancient or modern warfare
to conceive the idea of riding around
an enemy's army, and destroying for
time his base This thought was aug-
gested to him by the fact that Captain
Frazier Of New Kent county, Va, first
made the circuit around General MeC1el-
lan's army then besieging Richmond,
and almost within reach of that grand
old city with it's Napoleon and Whitworth
guns.
Upon Frazier's report Stewart moved
his column along the banks Of the Pa
munkey river met with some resistance
near Old Church, and in the skirmish
that followed the lamented Lataine,
while leading a charge at the head Of
his company the Essex cavalry. of
which he was captain, was killed. Re
was buried by Mrs. peterborough who
read the Episcopal funeral service at
his grave. This scene has been told
in verse by the gifted pen of Miss Mary
Pegram, and in crayon and oil pictures
now often seen in galleries of art. Mrs
peterborough and herr little daughter
and the old negro, who dug the grave,
were the only mourners.
Stewart marched rapidly to the white
house, destroyed the entire supplies of
Mcclellan, routed a strong gaurd, at
that point, marched rapidly to the south
crossed the Chickahominy river thence
he moved towards Malvern Hill, thence
west up the Darby town road to Rich
mond This first great cavalry raid of
the worlds history was followed quick
~ by others, led by this daring and
intrepid soldier.
Very soon the commanders in the fed
eral army inaugurated this method of
warfare; so that in the summer of 1864
General Wilson, (who afterwards fought
the battle of Selma, just about the close
of the war; with division of about 1000
well armed and splendidly mounted cav
airy, attempted to ride around General
Lees army, as it lay in the trenches at
Petersburg, when it was known that this
body of soldiers had passed to the right
of our army, great efforts were made to
capture them-troops were thrown out
on line at intervals, for about ten
miles. The command to which l belong
ed was thrown on the extreme left, our
right was near Reams station command
ed by General F-itzhugh Lee. General
Wade Hampton was in or near the centre
of the line. We had crossed the river
over bridge, the only crossing point
for three or four miles above or be-
low. We We're at Sapony Church about
a mile from this bridge, when as was
expected General Wilson attempted to
get back to General Grants army by
the way of Reams station, and he there
made a terrible assault upon Fitzhugh
Lee, who with the assistance of a brig
ade of Mahone's division, again and
again repulsed heavy attacks to force
that line. They made an attack upon
the centre, but were there repulsed, and
the road we were on was their last re-
sort, because Fitzhugh Lees division was
pressing in the rear. We had only about
seven hundred and fifty men THAI were
available to fight, and we had moved
