II Is common belief that the germs

would stay eradicated. It now seems
very probable that this Is untrue. Ac-

TALLY by many pathologists. and
strongly upheld by a recent French
writer, Prof Bodin. disease germs are
only accidentally virulent. their nor
NAL existence being what is called
'saprophytic; that is. independent OF
any other organism. When one Of
these harmless varieties changes its
nature so as o become parasitic. we
have a new disease. Observation has
shown that many kinds Of bacteria are
very unstable, and are constantly
forming new varieties. II is possible.

BE A BUSINESS MAN.
Do Not Ignore the Money Side of
Your Vocation.

Your Vocation.
No matter what your vocation may
be, you must be business man first
or you will always be placed at a great
disadvantage in the practical affairs Of
life. We cannot entirely ignore the
money side of existence any more than
we can the food side, and the very
foundation of a practical, successful
life is the ability to know how to man
age the money side effectively.
1t is infinitely harder to save money
and to invest it wisely than to make
it, and if even the most practical men,
men who have had a long training in
scientific business methods, find it a
difficult thing to hold on to money aft
er they make it, what is likely to hap
pen to people who have had practically
no training in business methods?

Store buildings and warehouses, as

Despite the fact that, within the past
five years not less than 600 dwelling
houses of all kinds have been erected
here, there is not vacant one in the
city, and the cry is for others.
Many very beautiful and costly
homes have been completed within
that time, but the greatest need, that
for modest homes at moderate rental,
has in manner, been supplied as well,
But hundreds of homes of this kind
are still required.
Among those to be built right away

of which were leased to desirable

THE REAL VALUE.
How All Literature Is Contained In n
Few Great Books

Few Great Books.
Young people must every now and
then hear it said or see it written that
all the real value in literature can be
put upon small shelf-that is to say.
the really important part of all that is
written is contained in Il very few
good books, all the rest being either
unimportant or different ways of saw
ing the same things that have been
said before. The statement. of course
is not true if it be taken literally,
There are certainly many hundreds.
perhaps thousands, of books that CON
tain original thoughts or experiences
that are truly valuable; but. generally
speaking, the best part of all that has
been written is to be found in few
volumes. TO understand how this is
possible we must remember that near
ly all rules are the same as other and
simpler rules. In arithmetic, for ex-
ample, the whole science consists of
only four simple ways of treating num-
bers. We can add. subtract, multiply
and divide, and that is all we can do
to numbers. The rest of the book is
only the working out of these four
rules; thus all of the arithmetic could
easily be put into a little page that
one could carry in the vest pocket.
All behavior, all right living is also
set forth in a few simple laws These
Illustrations will show what is meant
by saying that all literature is contain
ed in a few great books. The Bible
and the works of a few famous poets
and essayists contain all human wis
dom, and these are within the reach of
every purse.-St. Nicholas.

HOW WEASELS HUNT.

The Graceful Pose of the Animals
When ON the Trail.
The 1.-THE grace of the weasel may
be observed whenever it is on the trail.
At an even speed, with nose to the
ground, it's reddish brown back seems
literally to glide along through the rank
heritage by the bank.
It may be the scent of rat, and the
trail may take it in and out Of the
bank a good many times before it
comes up with its victim. 1t may even
have to swim a stream before its per
sistence is rewarded. 1t is wonderful
how small a hole that long, arched
body can glide into and emerge from
without the slightest difficulty.
When it has caught and killed itS
prey it's movements are equally grace
full as it carries the spoil home to it's
hole. Crossing a Kentish field saw a
weasel coming along under the hedge
row red toothed from the chase. There
was the same sinuous motion of the
back, but the little beasts head was
held as high as possible and from its
mouth hung the limp carcass of
young rat, freshly killed. The weasel
held it by the neck and so high, for all
the shortness of it's legs, that only the
end of the rats tail dragged through
the grass.
A family of weaseIs will often hunt
In company, and this is naturally a
most interesting sight to witness. The
ability Of the weasel to enter exceed
