Satisfaction of Work.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
 Too often the worker gets mere wages" out of his occupation and noth- ing more The work itself does not appeal to him or satisfy him. and without know ing just what is wrong he becomes rest less and ready to join in strikes or other movements to improve his condition, movements that, if successful in one sense do not give him what he really needs Workingmen are themselves to some degree responsible for this. Their union rules give no scope Tor ambition or the exercise of the highest skill. All are held to monotonods dead level of achievement and the rewards of labor that are above and beyond the wages paid by their employer-the supreme sat isfaction of doing their best for their own sake and the work s sake-is lacking and great incentive thus taken out of life. Newspaper work may have certain inherent pecularities that give it espe- cial charm but any work well done may afford its own share of satisfaction apart from the mere wages" involved. Money wages are necessity, and in themselves serve as a measure of achievement. but there must needs be more than this if the worker is to be content If a man will he can find pleasure in any honest thing his hands are set to do, but when he is fortunate enough to have for his lfe's occupation the thing for which he is best adapted and which he most likes to do then he is indeed truly favored by fate and may we'll obey the poets injunc- tion to those who have found their work Let him seek no greater blessedness."

TubercuIous Milk.

From the New York Tribune
 Dr. Jacobi does not believe that tuber- culosis can be conveyed by beef. because bacili do not reside in muscle, and cook ing should destroy them if they did On the other hand. he is confident that tu- berculosis milk is likely to induce disease in children Consequently he recom- mended sterilizing With commendable good sense, however, he utters a warning against exceeding certain limits in that operation. Excess is as pernicious as neg lect. Pasteurizing means temperature of 167 degrees Fahrenheit no more and no less, and maintaining this only ten minutes. If greater heat is applied the duration of the process should be short ened. Milk that has been kept at the boiling point for half an hour or more is no longer healthy article of diet for an infant. It is liable to produce scurvy and other lamentable consequences. So deli cate an operation is this that it ought not to be intrusted to any one but a com petent and honest person. If they fully understand the risk of making a mistake, many mothers would supervise it them selves.

School Of Expression.

The School of Expression will begin work with the new year with an increase of pupils and faculty.
 The recognition of the importance O. such q school in Birmingham is almost universal and the success of the school has surpassed the expectation of it's most sanguine supporters.
 Birmingham Is a progressive city and appreciates the best along the lines of artistic development. AS the work in the school becomes better known the high ideals for which it stands will not fail to be appreciated. The work in the school especially appeals to the educated class, to those who have finished school and de- sire development and training of those faculties which best fit them for success in life, namely, the imagination and dramatic instinct Upon this instinct sue cess in every walk in like depends. The teacher cannot teach unless he sees as the student secs; the preacher cannot preach without the power of putting himself in anothers place; the merchant succeeds on account of the ability to reach the wishes and needs of his customers. and so it is throughout all human experience and endeavor An instinctive knowledge of human nature is the basis of success. The school will publish catalogue in the spring, which will give the public an out line of the course of study pursued in the school
 Mrs Tolley the director, will take pupils in voice culture. Her experience AS a teacher of the singing voice has been most successful and her Knowledge of the dra- matic art and its relation to the singing voice has more perfectly fit her for de- Veloping the singing voice. She believes that the singing voice is a true medium of dramatic expression, and that the singer, as well as the reader. must think and feel as well as display vocal exocn- ton. The art of music is born when sound is used as a means of revealing the deepest emotions of the human soul
 The mental physical and emotional na- ture must be trained to act in harmonious coordination.

A Juvenile Poem.

The following poetry was written b, little Miss Allen Gray Moorng. the tei year old daughter of Mrs. Margaret Moor ing THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. "It was the night before Christmas And all through the house. Not creature was stirring, Not even a mousse" The children were snug in bed And all fast asleep, But I heard such q noise
 That l sprang to my feet. l ran to the window
 To see what was the matter, And down in the yard
 l heard such a chatter. He had bundle of toys,
 Straped on his back. And then with his whip
 He gave loud crack. I turned from the window And went back to bed, Then I heard someone walking Right over my head Down came St. Nicholas
 So gay and so jolly, And the first thing l saw
 Was a beautiful dolly. You know I was happy
 And he had lots of toys, Just things that I liked,
 Both for girls and for boys. r And there in a sleigh
 Pulled by six reindeer, Was dear old St. Nick
 Who had worked hard all year. I awolle in the morning.
 And found it all true, And that beautiful dolly
 Just guess was for who? Why. for me. of course,
 And for brother drum. And the piece that he played Was "Tum-t -ti-tum-tum." We had quite a merry Christmas And again it will come, And by night and by day,
 We hear Yum ti- tum-tum.'

A year ago Drs. Duval and Bassett, while work ing at the etiology of cholera infantum, reported that they had found in forty two cases of the summer diarrhoea of infants in the city of Baltimore the bacillus of Shiga. This bacillus, known as the cause of tropical dysentery, had been thought not to exist in the United States.
