GERMAN WORK PEOPLE.
Their Anuscmeuts Are Few ana
Mosfly Confined to Sunday.


AmuSements play comparatively
small part in the lives of German work
people. and such as they have are most
~ confined to Sunday. Games have
not taken hold of them; they go to no
football or cricket matches, although
there are matches, and other classes in
Germany show growing taste for
games and sports. | went TO see a
football match between Dusseldorf and
a neighbOriAg manufacturing town. a
similar match anywhere in manufac-
turing England would have attracted
from 10000 to 10000 sons of toll, who
would have shouted themselves hoarse
from beginning to end. At the Ger
NAN match not one put in an appear
ance. When left the field toward the
close of the game the spectators, who
had slowly Increased during the after
noon. numbered exactly sixty-fve. They
were not workingmen, and they show
ed no excitement whatever. They
played the association game, not very
well. The national game in Germany
is kegel kind Of skittles, and Ii Is
played at public houses, but not by
workngmen or seldom by them. They
play cards sometimes. but not a great
deal In short, games may be ruled !.
out as an item in industrial life. Thea /
ters and music halls count for more, /
but for nothing like so much as In Eng /
land and i'm America. They are less !
numerous in proportion to population
and are only visited by the working
classes to limited extent on Saturday
and Sunday.-Detroit News and Trib-

Bacteria are plants. Although they
were formerly classcd as animals, it Is
now universally conceded that they are
plants. They are single celled and Of
simple structure, being composed al
most entirely of prOtOplasm. They diff
fer from higher plants in that they con-
tain no chlOrOphyl green cOlOring mat
ter. They resemble more closely the
yeasts and molds There are many diff
ferent varieties of bacteria About / 200
different kinds have been isolated and
studied, and new varieties are being
found every day. Bacteria are very
small, being invisible to the naked eye
1t would take about 10000 average siz-
ed bacteria placed end to end to make
an inch in length, or it would take
about 100000 in a cube to make q
mass large enough to be seen with the

A WHISTLER PICTURE,
The Dramatic Manner of It's Finish
and an AnticIimax.

Whistler was one day visited by a
foreign artist, an old acquaintance
with whom Whistler had not as yet
! quarreled He was received with gen
uine cordiality, and artist-lille, he ran
round the studio looking at everything.
One small picture seemed to charm him
especially, and he said, "Now that Is
one of your good ones" Don't look at
It, dear boy" said Whistler airily, its
not finished" "Finishedr' said the
visitor. 'Why. it is the most carefully
finished picture of yours that have
ever seen" Don't look at tr' per-
sisted Whistler. You are doing in
justice to yourself, you are doing in
justice to my picture, and you are do
ing injustice to mep' The visitor looked
bewildered. when Whistler, in the
atrical tone, cried out stop. I'll finish
it now" Then he procured a very
small camel's hair brush, fixed 1t on
long and slender handle. mixed little
speck of paint OH his palette, dipped
the tip Of his brush into 1t, and then,
standing off from his picture and with
the action Of fencer with his rapier,
he lunged forward and touched the
picture In one spot with his pigment.
Nov it's finished" said he. "Now you
may look at it," This was all highly
dramatic, and indeed very well acted,
but, as in the case of some stage plays,
the final act Of Whlstler's performance
proved to be an anticlimax. The for
eign artist took his leave, but, finding
that he had left his umbrella behind
him, called for 1t next day. The serv-
ant, recognizing him, told him that Mr..
Whistler had gone out for the day, but |
invited him TO go to the studio and
seek his umbrella. He went there and |
found it, but also took the opportunity |
of having one more look at the picture |
which had been finished" for his spe |
cial benefit the day before and then |
he saw that the little dab of wet paint |
which Whistler had so dramatically |
put on he had afterward scrupulOuSly |
wiped off again .-Frederick Kcppel in

In some parts of the country there is
seldom sufficient snow TO justify the
average farmer in buying and keeping
high priced sleigh. Yet when there
does come sleighing if it is only for
few days, he needs one. or at least his
boys do, and then it is too late to buy,
even if he so desired, as every sleigh
is in use. In view of this q Farm,
