What Microbes Are.

Since Pasteur demonstrated the fact
that many human diseases are due to
minute living things which grow and
multiply in our bodies, there has been
atendency to call all microscopic organ
isms, whether harmful or not, germs
or "microbes' or bacteria" indiscrim-
inately. This confusion may be cleared
by the statement that protozoa are the
lowest form known of animals and
that bacteria are the lowest known
forms of plants, while germs" and
microbes" may apply to the disease
causing forms in either group.-From
Gary N. Calkins' "Protozoa and Dis
ease" in the Century.

Enster Lilies From Japan,

Our Easter lily, called the Der
muda" lily, is in reality native of
Japan and China. In 1870 Japan sent
us only $4,000 worth of bulbs for grow
ing them; but in 1895 the exports
jumped to $4,000; by 1890 they
reached S13O,O00, and they have been
climbing steadily ever since. while the
output from Bermuda is supposed to
be quarter less than it was decade
ago. In spite of heavy freights the
Japanese bulbs could often be de-
livered here for half the price of the
Bermuda product.-Country Life in
America.

st. Bernard dogs seem to retain their
life saving instincts even in this coun-
try. A large specimen of that breed
was recently seen at Keene, n. H.,

peared to be an old coat partly buried
in a snowbank. At last some one in
vestigated the coat and found that
there was a man inside of it who was
almost dead from the cold. AS soon
as the dog saw that the man was to be
properly cared for he went on his way.

THE: GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANCE.

Coem: What I'd Have If Cou1d-A Sad
Cruel and Heartbreaking Sight Which
Mimi ster Saw in the City of Ch urchei
Warning to Mothers.
Had I the power, I'D fill each heart
With the love of the Right so strong,
That none should mischief plot against,
or seek
To do his brother wrong;
Id have the law of Honor fixed
So steadfast, firm and high,
That none should dare to do what's mean,
And seorn to tell lie.
I'd have law that none could break
Like Persia's ancient rule
That none should taste the red wines cup,
TO make himself fcoI;
I'd have it so that none should fall
In deep debasement utter,
And drown his reason in {. bowl
His manhood in 4 gutter!
I'd fix it so that none should lure
His fellow to the bar,
Where Friendships strong and loving ties
So oft dishonored are;
Where maudin lips so oft defile
Sweet Friendships blessed name,
And filthy tongues, with rlbald jest,
NOOI 1SllO"oAIP
I'd fix it so, a loving form should stand
Beside each eITing brother,
Thus lured in fell temptations path,
A sister or a mother,
Whose weeping eyes should warn the lad,
Whose pleading voice should move him
To flee the snare before too late;
I'd have his heart reprove him.
Oh! had I power I'd close these doors
Of dire infamy and treason,
Where Manhood's sunk beneath the brute,
And whisky downs the reason;
I'd break the chain that binds the soul
To appetite and passion;
And make each one for Home, for friends
A man, in manly fashion!
Oh! had I power, I'd utter words,
Should wake this slulnbering nation;
Should make men feel the curse of drink,
How deep it's degradation;
I'd show them homes, where bleeding
hearts
Entreat Gods power to save
The father-son, just tottering DER
That pit-a urunkard's grave!
Alas! that human powers so weak,
The power of sin so strong;
That man, for love of gold, should seek
To do his brother wrong!
Oh! had I power, I'd break this power,
And set each prisoner free,
And bind all hearts in blessed bonds
OF closest Charity.

The term switchboard" came Into
use In the early days OF electrical ap-
paratus engineering. when all the Ap-
paratus necessary for controlling dy-
namo or motor could be conveniently
mounted on a board. With the in-
crease in size OF the stations. states an
authority. the power Of the generating
units and in the voltage transmission,
the simple switchboard developed.
through all the stages Of wooden. iron
and marble construction, until the ac-
cessory devices became too large and
too numerous to be mounted on the
elaborate structure that is still called
the switchboard.
These devices we're then assigned to
supplementary boards and later to
rooms and vaults specially prepared
for them This separation Of the con
trolling mechanism made it necessary
to adopt a system by which they could
be manipulated from a distance. so
that now we have the operating switch
board. from which the apparatus con-
trolling the generators is operated.
With the development of the power
station It has become more and more
important TO provide against all
sources Of interruption. The operators
at the switchboard must be protected
from accidents in the engine room
Therefore. the switchboard is now fire.
luently walled on from the generating
room. Now. the next stage has been
reached and We find in the latest de-
sign OF generating station complete
separation Of the generating room and
switch room. the two simply forming
independent parts Of one building.
The generating station. first divided
into two parts-the boiler room ana
