Three Degrees Of Illumination.

1t is possible that the incandescent cleo
trio lamp will soon be susceptible to the
same amount of regulation as gas, for there
is now on the market lamp operated by a
chain which is capable Of three degrees of
illumination. One point sheds an illumina-
ton of 80 per cent Of it's total capacity,
which in the case Of the 16-candlepower
lamp. is barely sufficient to indicate the To-
ca ton of the lamp to one entering the room
and who may want to reach the light in
order to turn it up higher. This tiny glow
does away with the necessity of cropping
around in the dark in the search for the
lamp often at the sacrifice of some of the
brio brac or furniture of the room. The
second point of adjustment causes the fla
ment to glow at about three quarters OF
the lamps capacity.

Infants Hands

From the National Congress Of Mothers Magazine.
One OF the great sources Of infection In
early life is the placing of germ-infected
hands in the mouth. This statement Is
well borne out by the fact that infants
become much more liable to disease the
moment they begin to creep or play about
the floors This danger can be reduced
by frequent washing of the hands and face
Children at all ages should have their
hands and faces carefully washed before
they eat,

mann was so1emnized at the
Catholic church in this city at nine
o'clock on Tuesday morning of

ed the happy young couple for life
the wedding party adjourned to the
home of the brides parents south
of town where large crowd of
relatives and friends of the contract
ing parties had gathered to wish
them the best of Ife's blessings.
After the fluctuations were over
all sat down to the wedding feast,
which was one of the most sumptu-
Gus ever prepared in this section,
the tables fairly groaning under
their loads of tempting eatables.
Fully $50 invited guests partook of
the feast at this time.
During the afternoon dancing
held sway among those who enjoy
ed it, the more sedate passing their
time with other diversions.
All afternoon and evening guests
continued to arrive and at 6 o'clock
P. M. another swell feast was en-
joyed. While many of the guests
departed during the early evening,
the young folks remained and en-
joyed the dance until a late hour
next morning, departing for their
various homes after wishing the
bride and groom long and happy
journey on the untroubled sea of
matrimony.
The bride is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Forsmann
and has grown to womanhood
among us. She is charming
young lady with host of friends
who are pleased to see her so safely
settled in life.
The groom it the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Kaufman
and has lived in this section for
several years. He is a young man
of whom any parents can be proud
and can soon be expected to be-
come one of our most substantial
citizens.
The happy couple intend leaving
next week for the east on an ex-
tended wedding journey and on
their return will make their home
with the brides parents and assist
in operating Mr.. Forsmann's large
farm.
A large number of handsome and
valuable presents were presented to
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman by their
friends and all join in wishing them
a perfect welded life.

Germs in Books.

The authorities of the city libraries
in Berlin have been making some in
teresting experiments with the pur-
pose of determining the hygienic con-
ditions of books that have been used a
great deal by the people. With the
dirt gathered from such books, some
of which was known to include tuber-
CulOsis bacilli, experiments were made
on guinea pigs. In the case of books
used but two years. no result could be
noticed, but the refuse collected from
particularly soiled books, that had
been in circulation from three to six
years, did produce an effect. Attempts
to destroy the baCilli by sterilization
through formalin vapors failed; but
the books themselves suffered to such
an extent that many were practically
spoiled. In view of this fact, the city
authorities have decided to abstain
from further disinfecting experiments.
In conjunction with the city medical
society and the police department, it
has now been decided periodically to
examine the public libraries and to de.
stroy those books which have been
used so much as to make them dan
ger to public health. Such books
must be destroyed, not sold for old
paper
