vised plenty Of fresh air and SIM.

swarms Of microbes and bacteria
that infest almost every thing, es-
pecially the dust Of the streets and
are even carried into our food by
the innocent little house fly, if he
can find a hole in the screen or some
good man holding the door open
whileh he inquiries where the ham
mer is, or if we need any thing from
town today. And while 1 was
swinging the door to let fresh air in
to the room / wondered how many
microbes and other villainous Great
ures ! was letting in, for the dust
flies as if it might be A, gust and 1
suppose a single speck of dust may
contain a whole colony Of our invisi-
BILE enemies.
One neat woman thought that if
1.-THE club would only tell her how to
keep the dust out Of her house. her
afternoon would be well spent. l
should think SO! | hope she Reads
her Title Clear, for she refer
red to the House not made with
hands" as the only refuge from
dust.
Fayette moves slowly but then it
is sure. Just now Main street is
being dug up for the city water
works, and it is to be hoped that in
time Fayette may have some protec-
ton from fire.
On my way homeI was met by
1.-TWO young ladies who drive in from
the country to school, They put
their horse in neighbours barn, and
left their robes and outer wraps in
her house for safe keeping through
the day. Mrs. N. is gone and we
can't get our wraps and things" they
said. Have you looked in our wood
|shed for them? YES, but they are
not there nor at Mr.. F's. where she
sometimes leaves them" Two girls
four miles from home, on cold
evening without their heavy wraps
was a serious problem. So we
raped at another door, where the
| things might have been left, but
| they were not there. However, the
| lady Of the house said she had a key
that would unlock Mrs. Ms. dool
and she would unlock it; but she
had taken the wrong key and could
| not open the door, SO one of the girls
was taken in by a good neighbol
and wrapped up while the othe,
came to us. got my largest coat
for her but it was too small over hel
Jacket. j. BIS. overcoat was bet.
ter fit and with a big comforter fol
a lap robe, she went off happy. j
suppose Mrs. N. forgot all about the
girls when she locked her doors.
Last night few miles from town
a young man named Thorp died o
hydrophobia. He was married
Thanksgiving day, and died Sunday
might He was bitten by his owl
dog in September. What dread
!, full ending Of the happiness to which
Inc young couple were looking Tor
