The joys and sorrows of life to a
baneful bacterium are said to be as
real as the pains aud pleasures Of
an elephant, for example: Why do the
bacteria choose certain conditions and
reject others? This selection Of the
favorable condition and rejection of
the unfaporable Is perhaps the funda-
mental point, although other elements
of their existence point to the fact
that they have sensations. 1t often Is
maintained that this selection is per-
sonal or conscious choice. Prof. Jen-
nlngs is convinced that II the amoeba
were large animal. so as to come
within the every day experience OF
human beings, its behavior at once
would call forth the attribution TO 1t
of states of pleasure and pain, OF
hunger, desire. and the like. If words
have meaning it Is correct, he argues,
to say that the bacteria enjoy life,
They struggle for existence. The
struggle implies all the victories and
all the defeats attendant upon the
struggle for existence among the high
est organisms The bacteria of an or.
ganic disease should be as capable OF
sensations as a monkey.

WOULD ESCAPE THE MENDINa.
One Of the Two Reasons Why Mrs.
eilltops Would Like to Be Rich. -

Hardly day of my life, Sundays In
cluded, that don't have to mend
something" said the gentle Mrs. Bill
tops, not complainingly. but still It
must be confessed a little YEARLY, as
she caught up a little rip in some
thing before doing It mp IN the bundle
for the laundry.
And Mrs. Billtops wouldn't want
to be very rich, she has never wanted
to be that, but she would like TO be
rich enough so that she wouldn't have
to worry over anything, and so thar
She wouldn't have to be always mend
mend, mending Why, it takes half
her time now keeping things in re.
pair. and she would like to be able to
throw things away when they got
worn, not wear out her fingers and
waste her time mending them, but
simply buy new
Mr. Billtops thinks that even If they
had wealth she would still continue to
mend things just the same, for there
are he observes, at least two ways
in which she seems TO be somewhat
strongly set; she hates to throw away
anything and she likes to keep every.
thing in order, But while she is will
ing to concede the force of this argu-
ment yet Mrs. Bllltops thinks, as sho
discovers something else that has to
be rnended before she sends il TO the
wash, that If they were rich she could
get over the habit of mending.

COURTS DECISION GRAIN WAS FIRM
Causes Marked Advance In Certain
Stocks-Financia World Appre-
cates Its Great Importance.

New York, March 24.--Tnere was
an increase of appreciation in the
financial world today of the import
ance of yesterdays supreme court de-
cision at Washington against the
validity of the Minnesota and North
Carolina railroad rate laws The late
advance in the market yesterday was
traceable to this influence, but not
enough was known to perceive the
scope of the decision The principles
laid down in the decision are felt to
rection in which the fears of the
financial world have turned with the
most solcitude for many months past
Special application of the decision was
seen in the marked response of Ger.
tain stocks. There was a very extern
siye digestion of profits effected in
the course OF the day and the price
movement was in consequence I'M
even and irregular at times. The
presidents forthcoming message was

were those about the stock exchange
processing to know its contents, who
described it as mildly conciiatory in
its treatment Of capital. Amendments
offered by Hepburn to the Sherman
antitrust law were assured to indi-
cate the course of the presidents
pIesentment. Amendment of the
present law so as to restrict its in
hibition of agreements in restraint of
trade. to those only which are I'M
reasonable would be received with
qualification in the financial world and
apparently throughout the railroad
world. Profit taking took a good deal
off the top prices in the late trading,
but the market on the whole, showed
greater breadth and strength than for
any day this year.

FAILED TO IMPRESS ESQUIRE"
Country Justice Had His Opinion Of
Supreme Court Decision.

Speaking of the peryersty of coun-
try Squires." State Senator John s.
Fisher chairman of the Pennsylvania
capitol investigation commission, told
this story recently;
We have one old codger out in
Indiana county who fears neither law
yer nor court. Not long ago Dick
Wilson had a case before the Squire.
and knowing his man, he went to the
office fortified with a dozen or more
supreme court decisions.
Wilson argued his case, cited sew
eral opinions, and finally remarked
Squire, | have here some decisions
by the supreme court of Pennsylvania,
which | shall read
Wilson finished one decision when
the justice Interrupted. saying:
Mr. Wilson. | reckon you've read
enough. Those supreme court de-
cisions are all right SO far they go,
but II the supreme court has not al
ready reversed itself | have no doubt
that 1t will do SO In the near future.
Judgment is. therefore, given against

They were both on the point OF

had they done so they would have
been instantly caught in the trap. The

PROTECTING STAGE Children,

The society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty TO Children in New York for
the convenience of theatrical man
ayers, makes out the requests when
children are to be put upon the stage,
and this request Is sent to the mayor,
He then gives the order that enables
the child to take part In the perform
ances 1t goes without saying that
the society does not make out the
order unless convinced that the child
will not come TO harm, morally or
physically. II Is worthy Of note that
the New York society In 1887 insisted
that the child Josef Hoffman be with.
drawn from the stage because of his
health This was done. and that is,
no doubt, why he is now the master
that he Is.

What Is a Lyric7

Among the ancients lyrical poetry
was a verse to be sung to the accom-
paniment Of the Tyre, or harp. In mod
ern usage the term lyrical is confined
to songs relating to feelings or emo
lions. as distinct from descriptive
songs. For instance. the Bay of Bis
cav" is a song. but not lyric; while
Burns Highland Mary" is an ex-
quisite specimen of the lyric.

NATURE SPARES


What fortunate provision OF nature
II Is. that depriyes the rose OF mental
suffering; FOR how poignant would be its
gTiefs to discover In the height of its
bocmi g glory, that canker fed at its
heart. and that its beauty and fragra nee
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering she is a veritable
store-house OF pleasing rewards. for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cost a gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women but thanks to the in
yestgaticns OF scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ. thus
