SAFE FROM GERMS.
it Was Easy For the Pullman Porter to
Convince the Doctors.

Convince the Doctors.
A party of physicians were on their
way to a medical convention. and they
had gathered in the buffet car to dis
cuss professional matters. The talk
had begun with proper cleanliness In
bandaging. 1t had progressed to that
point where sneezing was condemned
for the germs 1t disseminated. when
the engine whistled to announce an ap-
preaching station. The porter entered.
He waved his whisk broom.
'Bresh you OFF. subj" he asked of
one Of the doctors. The doctor turned
on him.
Just exactly what I've been con-
tending" he said heatedly. There's
one of the finest little systems of
spreading germs that ever was invent
ed. This porter comes in here ana he
brushes me off: then he brushes you
and you and you. and every one else,
and starts a lot of germs flying round
in the air to be breathed in and start
disease. 1 say that germs ought not
to be disturbed in public. It's danger
Gus. They ought to be let alone-not
thrown up into the air by all this
brushingr
There was a moment of silence The
porter grinned foolishly. He stood
first on one foot. then on the other.
He grinned again. then waved his
brush.
Come on. doctah," he begged: come
on and let me bresh you off. Pshaw!
Don't let that idea about microbes
bother you any, What little breshin'
I'm going TO do amt going to disturb
no germs. No. suhr'-Youth's Com

Push. but No Pull.

Sir Oliver Lodge claims that there is
no such thing as pull applied to bodies
that is, that an engine. for instance.
never pulls train. but really pushes
it. A little excursion into what he
means will readily convince the skep-
teal that he is right. Take this exam
pie: The coupling of the engine ex-
tends behind that of the car following
and does actually shove it forward.
The reason it comes forward is be-
cause its parts do not separate-that
is, it has cohesion.
But the actual force administered is
that of push and not a pull. Take
rope pulling a safe up to n window.
1t is wrapped under the safe, and that
is the part that is exerting the force
and urging the safe upward. the other
parts of the rope simply sticking to-
gether. When we pull our coats OF
we really push them off. for the force
is exerted behind the object in the di-
rection of motion. and. as every one
knows. that is called push.
So if we really desire to speak in
chastely scientific terms we should say
push our coats off, push our hats off.
push safe up through a window

tits generally believed that the
visit of the temperance speakers to
Highland last week accomplished
good for the cause of prohibition.
The rally at Hightown on Thurs
day was in every way success,
the attendance being good. w. A.
Rife and Prof. c. T. Jordan were
present at this meeting, the latter
filling a second appoin ment in
Crabbottom on Friday night.
Saturday at IL o'clock Col. S..
Brown Allen addressed a small au-
dience at the court houSein Monte
rev. Colonel Allen has aged since
he last appeared in Highland, but
if his mind has lost any of its vigor,
it was not apparent. He has long
been recognized as one of the abb
est speakers in Virginia. and the
cause Of temperance, which he has
enthusiastically espoused in his
old age, affords him a rich field for
the exc c Sc of his la"e ri t..
1t is most unfortunate that so
few people came to hear these able
advotes of prohibition, and herein
are we blameworthy. These men
are prepared to show and they
prove their assertions-that the
liquor forces have deceived the
people; that the hubkub about in
creased taxation, ad infnitun. is
groundless, yet men refuse to e
enlightened, to hear the side on
which so many good people are
lined up and fighting.
The last weeks campaign in
Highland closed with two addresses
by Prof. Jordan on Sunday, at Sey-
bert Chapel in the morning and at
Mcdowell in the afternoon.
Prof. Jordan has a reputation
along temperance lines of which
any man may be proud, and he Is
an able, convincing spt, kcr.
