1t out as his opinion few days ago that not less
than 252 different species Of these pests made their
homes in single one dollar bill of the average
filthy condition 1t is supposed that he has count
ed them, or else he would hardly be so particular
about the last two, However this may be, if there
are really not more than half as many varieties
as he Thinks If each variety is fairly well repre-
sented dollar bill is not half so desirable as it
used to be, and twenty of fifty would be some
thing frightful
These discoveries, disappointing or even horri,
flying as they may seem at first, viii have, or at
least ought to have, tendency to make most of us
more contented with our lot. We have thought
we wanted more filthy mcre' than we have, but
now that we know how creepngly and crawlingly
filthy it is we can perhaps do with less. Our cred
itors may possibly find out about it and be less
urgent that heretofore. At any rate, though we
may still need more or less of it. hereafter as here
tofore we may console ourselves with the reflection
when we have less, that we haven't such an army
of microbes dependent upon us as we might have.
Things are not so bad with us in all respects as
they might be- What would we do if we had all
of Margan's or Rockefeller's money!

the other day. remarks one of our valued exchanges
that all husbands and some wives may find inter-

pears. and an unusual number OF them had been
begun by husbands whose wives had made life
burden to them Finally the venerable mags-
trate lost his temper and exclaimed Il have no
patience with man who lets his wife thrash him.
It is the duty Of the husband to make the wife
obey He should exercise corrective sternness
where necessary and show that he is master OF
the house 1t is not necessary to beat her to ac-
plain that she is exceeding her wifely obligations
and impress upon her the fact that the man Is the
