making provision for the payment of
claims under what is known as the
Bowman act, of 1888. This bill is an
omnibus bill, like the Spanish war
claims bill. The proposed benefciaries
of this bill are all residents of the
southern states, and their claims
against the cover nment are for dam
ages alleged to have been committed
by federal soldiers during the civil
war. Some of these claims were
brought to the attention of the con-
gress Immediately after the close of
that war, but majority of them were
fled within the past IS years.
Opposed to this Bowman act claims
bill is the bill making provision for
reimbursement to the people of Cham
bersburg, Gettysburg and cont 'guous
places, for damages sustained when
Lee with his army of confederates in
vaded Pennsylvania in June and July,
1868. The southern congressman for
years have opposed this bill for the
benefit of the Pennsylvanians, claim
ing that their southern claimants are
as much entitled to consideration as
the northern claimants. 1t thus hap

Extremes of heat and cold which
would kill man are as nothing to
them. Only sudden changes of tenn
perature seem to affect them. If wa
ter is to be sterilized, it must be
brought to the boiling point and kept
there for at least fifteen minutes.
Even then the spores or germ centers
are not destroyed. After an hour,
during which time they have had a
chance to develop, the water should
again be boiled for the same length of
time, when it is probable that no mi
crobe will be left alive in it. Filtering
is popular method of disinfecting
drinking water because it may be ac-
complished quickly and with little
trouble, but this process is attended
with danger, for at a certain stage the
pores of the filter are apt to become
clogged with germs which press
through the water, rendering it much
more unfit for use than when placed in
the filter. To be reliable a filter
should be made of powdered cleerice,
sponged iron or carbonized bone and
microscopical examination of the wa
ter be made frequently to ascertain
whether the apparatus works proper
ly. 1t has been proven that, as rule,
spring water upon it's first appearance
at the surface is perfectly pure. The
few exceptions to this rule are found
when the water has passed through in
fected ground. Pure water when
brought in contact with the air is al
most Immediately fructified by some
form of bacterial life.
Often, however, water below the
surface becomes infected from some
drain or pool where disease germs
have found Judgment. In many in
stances the devastation wrought in
whole communities by typhoid or
diphtheria have been traced to such
sources. Those who have keen
sense of smell are often warned Of
the presence of hostile germs.
A curious discovery is said to have
been made that persons character
may, to a certain extent, be deter
mined by the acuteness of his sense
of SMELL and, indeed, that this forms
surer test than phrenology, physi-
ognomy or any of the ordinary meth
DDS of character reading. An instru-
ment, the olfactometer, has been
constructed which measures the
sense of smell. Upon a rod is mount
ed screen of odorless metal which
is pierced in the center by two hori-
zontal inhaling, tubes, the ends Of

condition as possible in order to ex-

ties of dead material, both animal and
vegetable, which would otherwise be
distributed over the surface of the
earth. This is the proper mission of
some of them and while confined to it
they are among mans greatest bene-
factors. That their increase may be
retarded, artificial means should be
employed for the destruction of waste

which is the reason of their being. 1t

LATE MICROBE LORE.
Bacteria Are Now Said to Be of
Vegetable Growth.
European Scientists Declare That a
Persons Character May be De-
tcrmined by the Acuteness
of the Sense of Smell.
Especial New York letter.


THE time is long since past
when anyone would say: ooh,
1 do not believe in microbes;"
also when people were frantic when
they touched the strap of street car
without gloves for fear of infection
from contact with the small plaques.
Everybody has settled down to the
knowledge that the microbe is with us,
as he has always been, and-to stay,
also that we are seldom injured by
contact with the minute organisms.
Our one comfort in the consciousness
of their constant companionship is
that the tribe on the whole does much
more good than harm. Some varieties
are never hostile to health and even
those considered most deadly have their
uses, if their activity is not directed
into wrong channels.
Bacteria absorb their food through
their outer surface, thus furnishing
incontrovertible evidence that they are
vegetable growths. Again, the vege
table microbes, or bacteria, may be
distinguished from PROTOCOL by their
method of reproduction. This takes
place through budding or splitting,
like some plants of a low order, the
Algae. They have no sex. At GER
tain period of their growth they be-
come elongated to nearly twice their
normal length, a contraction across
the body, midway between the two
ends, occurs and increases until sep
aration takes place, when we have two
distinct bacteria instead of one. This
process is quickly duplicated in each
of the two and is so rapid that it is
easily observable through micro
scope. Starting with one organism,
millions may come into existence
within twenty-four hours. This ac-
counts for the quick rise of temper
allure usually observable in fever pa
TENTS.
Ordinarily, bacteria attack only
tissues already diseased, because of
the law of destruction to all decaying
substances in order that they may be
absorbed by healthy structures. The

the shepherdess shape is here again

trimmed with gorgeous roses. Tuscan
straws and Italian chips, soft and PHI
able, with new gloss which gives
them the appearance of silk, show
plaid designs in the plating.
The pompadour hat, with the brim
caught up on one side with a rosette
bunch of roses, bids fair to be popular.
Notifications of the old-time styles
in headgear are feature this season
without doubt, but they are so arts
tically done, so much prettier in out
line and establishment than their pre-
decessors, that it is only the suggestion
of the original which is revealed to you.

1t is said that diphtheria germs are
sometimes found in the throat of per-
fectly healthy persons, a long time
after their exposure to the disease
without having caused any disagree
able symptoms. The origin of bacte-
ria has not yet been satisfactorily de-
termined, although years of patient
labor have been given to the ques-
ton. The old theory generally ac-
eepted that bacteria were of sponta-
neous growth has been proven falla-
eious by Pasteur, who showed conclu-
sively that life has always sprung from
life and that these organisms are gen
Grated from those of their own kind.
The theory that life was brought to
our planet from some other contrib
utes nothing toward the real solution
of the original problem. There are

plainly discernible the further the
cylinder is drawn toward the back

the inhaled air has passed through

before entering the nose. At the

much difficulty. 1t is possible to
place different scents in each CIV inder

These usually destroy each other and
no sensation is experienced. The
same is true in the outer atmosphere.
We could hardly endure the air
around us at times if different cents
did not neutralize each other. OBJ
jects especially inimical to health
have often an odor which overLears
all others and thus give us warning
of their presence.
Degenerates are said to possess a
very limited sense of smell. This in
normal persons is three times as
acute as in criminals. In thieves. it
is dull, in degenerate women much
more SO. A comparison is also made
between people who enjoy the odor
of musk and those who prefer violet
and other delicate perfumes. The
greater portion of our food would be
tasteless were we unable to smell it.
Degeneracy is further indicated bv
obtuseness in the sense of touch.

= spring millinery. There
Dis beauty suggestive of spring, not
only because of the light airiness that
is the more noticeable after our season
of furs and velvets and heavy cloths,
but also because of the reigning pen
chant for flowers. The Easter hats
are veritable flower gardens. Some of
them are composed almost entirely Of
flowers and leaves, and those of other
materials are literally decorated with
flowers.
We have chrysanthemums shows, and
style golden-rod as the national flower,
but when we wish something dainty
Cor our hats we take to neither of these,
but to that flower of all flowers, the
rose, and it is the rose that leads in
point of popularity as trimming for
spring hats. Easter Sunday will see
half the new hats worn on that occa-
sion trimmed with roses, and roses
in their natural colors at that. 1t is
only the woma n who seeks the unusual
and the odd as means OF attracting
attention who will bedeck her Easter
hat with blue or green or other unnat
urally colored roses.
Fruit blossoms will follow closely

spring wear Of these the apple and
cherry are especial favorites, and in
addition to these there are camelias,
primroses, gardenias and great
amount of beautiful foliage with all
and shrubbery.
Never was there greater degree of
perfection in artificial flowers than
those prepared for this spring display
of attractive millinery. The dainty
chiffon blossoms are by far the most at
4ractive of all, and their artistic beau
ty surpasses anything that is easily
imagined.
In shape the prevailing style of the
Easter millinery is fiat and broad, with
an arrangement of ends of some kind
at the back. In fact every bit of trim
ming is arranged with this latter effect
in view.
OF materials straw of course leads,
and they offer many new ideas. One
of them, for example, resembles the
petals of chrysanthemum. Tulle is
another favorite material both for en-
tire hats, and as combination ma
tterial with the lacey varieties of straw
which are drawn through the openings
in dainty puffs to soften the effect.
"A number of toques are seen of tucked
tulle, and these are especially charm
ing. This is true particularly of the
black ones in which the tucks are
stitched in with white and very simply
trimmed with wreath of small bios
SONS on the brim. Another vogue for
the use of tulle is to have it dotted
over with ivory discs and jet spangles,
with marabout pompons tipped with
Jet for the decoration at one side.
Another form of the spring hat is
the one of white lace. Entire hats are
made of it, and lace of all descrip-
lions, including malines, chantilly and
fine guipure, is used. A white corded
face studded with pearls is very effect

a stylish black velvet ribbon bow for
trimming, to which few La France
roses are sometimes effectively added.

How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign ot croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by peculiar rough cough. Give Cham berlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of moth CTS and has never been known to fail.
