Mlcroseonlc Sensations.

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
"eiect others? This selection of the
favorable condition and rejection of
the unfavorabe is perhaps the funda-
mental point, although other elements
of their existence point TO the fact
that they have sensations II often is
maintained that this selection is per-
sonal or conscious choice. Prof. Jen-
nings lis convinced that II the amoeba
were a large animal. so as to come
within the every day experience of
human beings, its behavior at once
would call forth the attribution TO IL
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 he as capable Of
sensations as a monkey.

WOULD ESCAPE THE mENDlNa.
One OF the Two Reasons Why Mrs.
Biiltops Would Like to Be Rich.

Hardly day of my life, Sundays In
Guided, that | don't have to mend
something" said the gentle Mrs. Bill
tops, not complainingly, but still II
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 10 be
rich enough so that she wouldn't have
to worry over anything, and so that
she wouldn't have to be always mend,
mend, mendng, 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 I'm order. But while she is will,
ing to concede the force of this argu'
ment yet Mrs, Billtops thinks, as sho
discovers something else that has to

wash, that If they were rich she could

BEAR TRAP SET FOR OFFICERS
Surprise for Deputy Marshals in the
Tennessee Mountains.

The gaping jaws of hear trap is
what confronted Deputy United States
Marshal John BLANK enship, Deputy
Marshal George Sharp and others
when they made a raid the other
night into the mountains Of Blount
county.
In the posse were the two deputiea
mentioned am Deputy Revenue Col
lector J. S. Remine. They left this
city and went to the North Carolina
line. and there located a distillery al
legged TO have been owned and oper.
ated by Uncle Sam Burchfield. It
was in the fastness OF the mountain.
and as the officers were just on the
point of leaping from the roof into
the little house Messrs. Blankenship
and Sharp spied the bear trap, and
crawled back.
They we're both on the point OF
leaping down at the same time. and
had they done so they would have
been instantly caught in the trap. The
trap is said 70 have been one of the
largest ever seen in the mountains Of
East Tennessee.
Burchfeld had escaped, but it is
said that he will be arrested, but the
officers in quest of him will look oui

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 case before the Squire,
and knowing his man. he went to the
office fortified with dozen or more
supreme court decisions.
Wilson argued his case, cited sew

COMMON ORIGIN OF ALL LIFE

Biologists having failed TO prove

Prof. Svante ArThenius is attracted by
the idea that all life has had com

single source to many worlds. The
discovery of the pressure Of light has
added probability to panspermy,
which teaches that life germs are
conveyed through interstellar space.

Protecting Stane. 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.

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 tc
provide material safeguards in the di,
rection in which the fears of the
financial world have turned with the
most soicitude for many months past
Special application OF the decision was
seen in the marked response of Ger.
tain stocks. There was a very extern
sive digestion of profits effected in
the course of the day and the price
movement was in consequence un-
even and irregular at times. The
presidents forthcoming message was
the subject of discussion and there

NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision OF nature
1t IS, that deprives the rose OF mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover. in the height of its
bloomi glory that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and Fragrance
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
gene by falling hair and grayne.s have
cost gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women. but thanks to the in
Yestgations OF scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be
