 ''Oh. my teacher is nice,'' answered Tot. but she is always asking us for a cigarette"
 ''What?" cried the lady and the mamma in mortified tones. seeing con- tamination of the morals of Tot under the teachings of a modern bachelor of the feminine gender.

Beginning of the Germ Theory.

Agostino Bassi, country doctor in the north of Italy, early in the last century was the starter of the germ theory of disease. At that time a pc cu1iar disease was killing the silk worms, bringing ruin to the whole silk country of Italy. Bassi, by the micro scope. discovered the germ which is the cause of the disease. The germ later was named Botritis bassiana. Bassi believed and stated that human diseases were also caused by germs. Bassi's work was sneered at and pooh poohed by his fellow men and physi- clans, and he failed to- make lasting impression, thereby losing great glory for Italia.-New York Press.
