the presence of the colon bacillus, and,
as already said, wherever the colon
bacillus exists in large numbers there
is certain TO be a marked pollution OF
the water and the presence of other
germs of more deadly nature.
lie same thing, as has been shown
at the Institute, is true also of the
streptococci, kind of bacillus which,
unlike the colon bacillus, is found on
the outer skin OF humanity, although
it thrives even more successfully in
warmer and better protected places.
The discovery OF the stIeptococci,
therefore. instead of lessening the
value of the investigations conducted
with the earlier known colon bacillus,
has merely added another of the list
Of good bacteria whose main purpose
in life, so far as man is concerned
seems to be to warn him of impend
ing dangers from ether and less wei
intentioped organisms.

growing bacteria is much like some
BrobdignaGian farmer who should

But even after the bacteriologist has

Der OF colonies that have developed
from his original sample of water he
will find that many of these colonies
are still too much alike in general ap-

exact nature of their inhabitants.
Some, of course, have quite different
characteristics. The colon bacilli, for
example, apparently mass their in

whole question of degrees and differ
ences among them is a very complex
: one; and the only way that the bac-
teriologist can begin to solve it is by
studying the tastes and inclinations Of
each-what the inhabitants like to eat,
how they behave under different con
ditions of food ana environment, or
/ what they do to other colonies of
bacteria, for these infinitesimal bits of
life destroy one another as strenuous

studying the colon bacilli that modern
science has reached methods that
practically eliminate the other organ

cubic centimeter of water. just how
many of these curious little creatures
may be present.
The value of this analysis in de-
creasing the danger of disease rom
impure drinking water is first of all
on account of the rapidity with which
the analysis can be made. In the plan
now widely prevalent throughout the
United States but first used by the
Massachusetts state board of health
and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, there are six simple,
positive tests. That is to say, the
suspected bacillus is fed with gela-
, tine; lactose agar, a combination OF
milk, sugar, and the jelly of Jap
anese seaweed; dextrose broth, a
mixture of meat juice and sugar; milk
and two other solutions-all of which
are very good health foods for the
colon bacillus. The combined results
of these tests are proof positive of

PRETTY ROSE WEDDING.
Charming Ceremony Which May Sug

In The Housekeeper magazine a
rose wedding is described. The main
thing was that there were to be no

bridesmaids. A dozen little girls, al
friends OF the family, had been chosen,
and these were formed into a guard

caught under a rosette of pink tulle,
Rosy under-frocks sho2e through the
lace, and soft-brimmed white hats
wreathed in pink roses crowned each
dainty little face, about which the hair
had been brushed in fluffy mass. Six
little girls marched in front and six
behind the bride, and the most origin
al touch of all was given in the long
chains of pink rosebuds, held by the
children and enclosing the bride, who
walked alone, her own face looking
like the queen rose of the bouqet. Just
at the chancel rail the little chain
bearers separated, gathering their rose
garlands up into loops, while Maud's
white-haired father stepped forth from
his pew to lead his daughter the few
remaining steps to be received by her
bridegroom, who was gazing at her as
if he had beheld an angel floating
toward him from some sunset cloud.

THE VEGETARIAN SEASON.

eSis odyS WIS. r1iiieT.
! During the spring days when the
warm sunshine, gentle rains and soft
breezes have kissed, moistened and
famed into new life all nature, how
often we suffer from a lack of vitality
and a feeling of lassitude which
tagging appetite always superinduces.
We do not care to eat and cannot tell
when we actually feel the need OF
food 1t is at this season of the year
that We should supply our tables with.
such daintily prepared food as will not

petite.
The lack of any particular ingredi.
ent in our food is often indicated to
us by longing for it. We feel a
strong desire to eat particular things
! and no others, and such desire may
generally be taken as safe Indicator
that the body needs them.
In the warm weather we need more
! liquid food Less meat is needed, and
the heterogeneous substances required
in the body may be taken in the form.
OF milk, eggs, cheese, beans, peas, ETC.,
and with good wholesome bread and
fresh butter, plenty of fresh vegetables
and fruit, there need be very little
money expended for meats except
where meals are prepared for men
who who are employed at manual
labor, and even then a special diet
properly arranged would save con
siderable on the marketing bill, writes
Elizabeth o. Hitler in the House
keeper.
Lettuce may be used in combination
with very many of the other fresh
vegetables, but has no special food
value. 1t is chiefly used as a garnish
Cress and sorrel are also used as gar
nishing for salads and many of the
fish and meat dishes. Sorrel contains
oxalates and should therefore be for.
hidden those who suffer from an ex--
cess of acid in the system. In other
words, equity and rheumatic patients
should avoid it, Many other substances,
are mentioned in works on dietetfcsa
which are used in the making of salads;
and pickles, and as relishes they are,
a safeguard against anything of the
nature of scurvy. They stimulate the
=, digestive secretions and give zest to-
the appetite. We may include in this
list green peppers, capers, mint, tar
ragon ian aromatic Siberian plainly,
parsley, endive, chicory romaine,.
okra, and many more. In fresh
vegetables we find the necessary salt
and certain acids in proper proportions
which are believed to be servicable in
purifying the blood; and, too, fresh
vegetables contain large per cent. OF
water go per cent? which is in itself
of great use in the system in many
ways. They should, however. be eaten
when fresh, young and tender.

MILLIONAIRE'S SON A TRAMP.
Scion of FAM Gus French Family Says
He Intends to Become . Mod
ern Diogenes.

The police of Paris, France, were sur
prised recently when one morning they
arrested a ragged-looking tramp asleep
on one of the benches of the Avenue des
Champs Elysees and heard him say that
he was the son of millionaire. His APP
pearance was entirely against him. His
hair was long and unkempt, his beard
had not been cut for an age and his
clothes were in tatters The tramp said
that his name was Henri Teutch, and
that he belonged to the great Teutch
family, known as one of the wealthiest
in Paris.
On inquiry the tramp's declarations
were found to be true. His father lives
in a sumptuous palace almost opposite
the very bench where his son was picked
up in rags The father Of Teutch said
that he would no longer acknowledge
him: that his son had within short
time spent fortune Of 100000 francs,
and had in addition sold the magnificent
furniture with which he had furnished
an apartment for him in the Rue Gen.
eral de Foy.
Henri Teutch now says that since he
has had taste of the pleasures Of tramp
life he will always remain tramp and
become modern Diogenes
