to classify a regular bacterial flora, often characteristic of a special portion of the ailmentary canal. At birth it is cer- tain the infants digestive system is free from microbes tenants. One bacillus, the B. bifidus. is found even in breast-fed children. 1t Is a harmless nicrobe entire ly: but in bottle-fed infants the number end speices of germ -vstants are remark edly increased. This is in accordance with expectation, for milk itself forms a. notor- iously prolific breeding-ground for mi crobes of many kinds. Science is somewhat sceptical regarding the utility of our di- gestive flora. It is admitted that in grass eating animals certain bacilli serve to di- gest cellulose, which forms the tougher part of the plant-cells. The necessity of a germ population in the digestive system has been questioned by reason of experi- mentation, which shows that if guinea pigs born in an aseptic chamber were made to breathe filtered air. and were fed on sterilized milk. no germs could be de- tected in their digestive system. We may, perhaps. reasonably supposed that all mil crobes are intruders on the animal do- main, but that having gained access thereto they behave themselves vafiously according to their lights.

THE EPOCH OF THE CRINoLINE
Not So Absurd as Fashions of Today,
 Says a Frenchman

Paris Correspondence London Telegraph
 Another apologist of the crinoline has appeared in the person of M Andre Beaunier. author and lecturer He de- clares that the crinolne was neither ab- surd nor ugly. It was not so ugly as some of the hats recently in vogue. nor so absurd as the hobbe skirt.
 The second empire he says, is not to be judged from its poets, philosophers or politicians. but from it's crinolines. The crinolines were an admirable Invention. They were worn by a generation that knew how to be gay. The generation that invented crinolines was the only genera tion that knew how to enjoy life, to be frolicsome and to be merry without a thought of the futureg
 The crinoline recalls the balls, Of the Tuilleries. the masquerades at the Opera and the dances on the boulevards It is no use polSing fun at the crinolne They were more artistic than many of the fashions that succeeded them The erin oline gave the waist and the shoulders remarkable grace and suppleness. A cor sage in the Watteau or Pompadour style with an ample crinolne was almost ideal.
 The ladies of the third empire had beau- tiful necks and shoulders, and they had to show them. The empress watched per- sonally over them and saw that they did it, and gave the example herself. The or ders at the Tuileries were that there were to be either "eqaules of eqaulettes." NJ Reannier also regrets the sliawls of our grandmothers. What a pity" he says that shawls have gone totally cut of fashion. The shawls and the crinolines were admirable. The ladies concealed only a part of their beauty to enhance the rest"
 In describing the effect M. Beaunier waxes poetic. The corsage. he says. was simple and relieved the bust. The neck and the shoulders were free, and the beauties of the day looked Nike the swans in allegorical pictures To uncover the shoulders as they did was an ordeal for some of them, but they were few. and the same class of ascetic persons would not be able to do better today than follow the popes decree.
 The crinolines were less absurd than the cartwheel hats and top heavy fashions of the present day. The base at least was wide. says NJ. Beaunier. and tapered gracefully to-the apex of the human form, which is according to the rules of art and nature But now fashion is like a house inverted. 1t is broad at the apex and tapers to point below, like needle stuck in the ground.

LIFE WITHOUT BACILLI
A Scientific Demonstration That Even Benign" Varieties Are Superflous

(Andrew Wilson. in the Illustrated London
 News)
 It is a matter of general knowledge that among the multitude of microbes by which we are enoompassed, many spe- cies are harmless to us, and many useful enough in respect of their acting as Natures seavengers, and assisting even in the developments of commerce and in- dustry. The pathogenic, disease-pro- ducing species, though numerous stand in a minority when compared with those microbes which are of innocent nature. But. beyond the recognition of such facts, few persons, save those professionally in terested. are aware that within our bodies there exists a normal population of mi crobes, certain members of which appear to exercise certain function in the course of digestive action. It is true that in the digestive tube, which includes mouth, gullet, stomach and intestine, we are able

sheep, in respect of it's solution by mi erobic acid, also occurs in man to a cer- tain extent But in the intestine itself we harbor microbe flora such as is re- sponsible, when 1t grows wild for much digestive discomfort. Readers will re- member the opinions of Metchnikoff. who maintaining that the over-growth of the bacillus coli, microbe found in every body's digestive tract, caused premature old age, advised a modification of diet and the drinking of sour milk by way of exterminating the intestinal population He advocates the use of a Bulgarian bacillus. which is a potent and lusty mi- crobe. capable of living in an acid sou- ton of even ten per cent strength So vigorous is this Bulgarian bacillus that 1t routs out all lesser microbic fry; and so 1t was believed to clear the intestine of the overplus of the coli bacillus. But the latter is ever with us; it does us no harm, apparently-for that matter it may discharge some useful duty or other and the sour-mik treatment like many another much-belauded panacea, has prac- ticall disappeared from the list of modern cures
 A far more pertinent question, how ever, looms in view here, when we in- qure whether or not microbes we deem harmless under their invironment is all tered. evolve disease-prOducing qualities For example, while nothing definite has been proved, it has been suggested that the harpless B. Coli-innocuous in the digestive system-may, when transferred to some outside medium, say sewage, evolve the form and qualities of the ty- phoid bacillus. It has been held possible that another virulent mcrobe, found in cases of food-poisoning. may only be an- other phase of the coli-transformation All three live in the intestine and all three may only be varieties of the species. Such feature would be perfectly con- sistent with what is liable to happen in higher rlart life.

The careful mother who watches closely the physical peculiarities of her children, will soon discover that the most important thing In connection with a child's constant good health is to keep the bowels regularly open. Sluggish bowels will be followed by loss of appe- tite, restlessness during sleep, !rrita- bilty and dozen and one similar evil dences of physical disorder.
 At the first sign of such disorder give the child a teaspoonfui of Dr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and repeat the dose the following night if necessary-more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the child will recover its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally.

In St Petersburg, the general opinion seems to incline more and more to the belief that before long Russia will be implicated in another war not against Japan but against her old arch-enemy. Turkey; a war which is to realize the ambitions of Russia for decades of extend- ing the boundaries of Russia towards the South and to constitute the first step towards the foundation of a great Pan slavstio empire under the Czar. Rumors are heard that Russia and Italy have formed a secret alliance and are about to take joint action in the Balkan peninsula.
 The real facts are that Russia and Itals are not allies, but friends The Slav and the Latin nations are not allies, they too. are friends The imperial family and the Queen of Italy are connected by mar riage The Czar himself cherishes strong friendly feeling for King Victor Emanuel But more than all else is the fact that the political interests of Russia and Italy are in clash nowhere on the globe. Against the annexation of Tripoh by Italy, therefore. Russia alone of Ital- ian and Russian governments are anxious to better the lot of the Christians of the Turkish Empire--Italy in Albania and Russia in Macedonia. But no conVersa- tions have been carried on in either cap ital for the purpose of arranging joint line of acting now or later
 Italy was interested in launching these reports and getting them accepted as facts. She wanted to divert public at tenion from her navy. For the marine Ministry was about to withdraw for while a group of warships from action in order to have them repaired. The fact is that the boilers and engines of the Italian war vessels have suffered serious ly from the wear and tear of six moVhs active se1vice and of long spell of fir ing practice which proceeded that.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, March 3.-Col.
Roosevelt's own views Of the present
political situation and his reasons
for entering the campaign were ex-
planned by him to-day.
As he trudged along the country
road from Oyster Bay village to Sag
amore Hill on his way home from
church, the former president talked
freely Of his prospects and briefly
stated that his reason for entering
into political campaign as an act
i've candidate was that men who
share his political beliefs convinced
him that they needed an effective
leader. As to the prospects of vic
tory, Colonel Roosevelt expressed the
opinion that on q popular vote he
would be the choice of the party by
q big majority. How far this reso-
luton might be modified by the in
terpositioa Of the machinery Of poll
tics he was unable to say.
Colonel Roosevelt said he suppos-
ed great many persons would not
believe it, but that he had not wish
ed to enter the fight.
