Meaning of Cemetery.

1t Is not correct to say that GENE
terry means the ''city of the dead"
The word is from the Greek "koine-
terion," meaning sleeping place, not
the place of the dead. There Is nnth-
ing in the etymology Of the word to
warrant us in thinking that it was
originally intended TO convey the h!ea
that the departed were really dead any
more than there is in the old Hebrew
term for cemetery. 'bethaim," the
house Of the living Exchange.

POINTS OUT DANGER IN EGGS.
Should Be Cooked to Avoid Possibility
of Infection by Them.

1t has long been known that milk
may be vehicle for the diphtheria
germ, but eggs have not until recently
been suspected of having any part in
the communication of this noisome
naiady. A recent number of the Lon
doh Lancet contains a startling COM
nunlcation from DR.. Sambon, one Of
the professors in the London School
OF Tropical Medicine, in which It is
shown that fowls as we'll as birds are
subject to diphtheria, and that eggs
olten contain virulent germs of this
uIsease and may easily be the means
OF spreading the disease. The doctor
claims that he has even found active
diphtheria germs in an egg at his own
breakfast table
In view of these facts, says Good
health. 1t is apparent that eggs must
De invariably cooked to AVOID the dam
ger OF infection. Raw eggs are unuues.
ilohaoly quite as dangerous as raw
MIX, or possibly even more so. The
egg Is doubtless much more often a
source or serious illness than is gen.
orally supposed. A stale egg or a sick
or infected egg may be the cause of
sudden nausea, vomiting and purging,
the real cause Of which may not be
suspected. Certainly the egg is very
1ar from being the safe and innocent
1000 which it has so long enioyed the
reputation of being. Various species
OF germs have been found inside the
shelis which were apparently fresh. 1t
IS known that germ may be picked I'D
and included in the egg during its
transit along the oviduct of the fowl
ana mat germs may penetrate the egg
after it is laid.

FAMED sIEeINe BOYS OF JENA
ougrowth of Age CT Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds of years ago the streets
OF Jena and other German towns used
to echo to the songs of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of poor
students. known as Bacchantes. These
BacChantes wandered from one uni
Versity 10 another in search of better
instruction or better means of SUM-
port. Such n wandering life was ia
Vored by the customs of times when
people thought 1t a virtue to give free
~ TO all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skirmishers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had 10 wait
upon his Bacchante. beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most part
ne was very tyrannically used. Rut
as he was waif without other protec-
ton he had to make the best of mat
tiers.
After the reformation in MANY
places these orphan boys. or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
VINO received pay from chui "hes. but
also were assisted by private sub
scriptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only in The churches. but before
the houses of their patrons as well.
ThnS they ceased 10 be b"ggars. Mar
tin Luther himself as a boy had been
one of these singers. and it WAS large
~ due to his influence that the old
custom OF begging entirely passed
away. There is n famous picture OF
Luther as singing boy in Fisonach
where his song attracted tho attention
of the coed Frau Gotta. who ad0pted
and Cdu"Gtcd him.
Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing fror house TO
house is fading away There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German empire where this mu-
Sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
or the historic castle Of the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 90 of the Jena sing
Ing boys. five each Of the ages of -.
II. IL and IA years. They ara

'neresse In Resistance With Speed

Some mechanical operations require

secret is usually found In the speed at

and consequently is harder to pull
even on level ground; on an upgrade
where the weight cf the machine is
being raised the height of the hill, the
difference is much more marked, for no
refinement OF bearings can reduce the
pull due to gravity. The vehicle drawn
by horse seldom exceeds speed OF
ten miles per hour; If that speed were
Increased to 20 miles, moderate

to draw 1t would be doubled, even
though the actual pull remained tho

times the original power would be re-

The hardest things to keep cor

OF these will overwhelm you by its
mass, the second will dodge you, while
the third will get out of the predica-
nlent by any one of dozen ways, gen
orally by making you think you're the
cleyerest, most irresistible dog in the
world.
Corners are also points OF vantage
on the street at which idle, and oft
times vicious, young men congregate
to discuss the respective merits OF
johnson and Jeffriss. These same cor
ners are frequently owned by other
idle and vicious young men resident in
Paris or Berlin for the purpose OF dis
cussing the respective merits Of Jean
cite and Gretchen. The ownership of
this kind of corner is especially de-
sirable during the present period of
high prices.
