The Microbe Menace,

Our wide general information. in this day of the Sunday newspaper. tells us that the real danger of the time is the quiet microbe. We could even wish that microbes clanked chains, and then we would know they were about and speed for the prophylactic. The in- numerable devils of the middle ages. invisible but always somewhere in the neighborhood, have been neatly re- placed by the discoveries of bacteri- ology- and if we hadn't got used to them, living would be an almost i'm possible anxious performance. The vaca tionist, reading the warming is sued by his government against the bacterial dangers of simple country living, would stay hopelessly in the rity-and then, learning of the bacterial dangers of summer life in town, would eventually be driven to suicide by drowning as the coolest way out of his troubles.
 Microbes, microbes everywhere,
 In the water, in the air!
 Kicking up deadly row,
 In the product of the COW.
 You can almost hear them mutte-
 In the milk and in the butter.

Theater Headaches.

The most frequent cause of head aches occurring during or after the theater is eye strain. People who use the full energy of the delicate eye muscles to obtain perfect vision are often unconscious of this strain. In the theater the continuous effort to keep everything constantly focused ex- hausts the nerve centers and headache results. The practice of seating the audience in total darkness while they are staring into an intensely lighted stage is another serious factor The pupils, being widely dilated in the dark, admit the excess of light from the stage, often producing irritation of the eyes which lasts sometimes for days. ... 2 ..-, .-...- .,t- Those subject to headaches should never sit where it is necessary to raise the eyes to watch the stage. This un- natural position of the eyes is very tiresome even to those who never have trouble at other times.-Journal Amer ican Medical Association.

Switzerland's President.

There is one highly civilized country in which not one person In four could give their rulers name. That country is Switzerland. One reason why the president is almost unknown either by name or by sight Is that he is not public figure at all. He has no privi- leges as president and no official uni form-not even of the army. Switzer- land has fresh president every year. He has no personal authority as presi- dent and is practically only the speak CT of Switzerland's unassuming little parliament It is recorded that at a meeting of Swiss business men no one could recall the name of the president. The waiter was asked. He happened to know. because the president was his uncle.-Philadelp Times.

First Beef Extract Factory.

Something over q hundred years ago the hacendados ranchmen) of Uruguay complained to the government that over 450.000 head of cattle were being killed annually for their hides alone. The carcasses were thrown to the dogs or left on the rolling pampas for the vultures to devour. Beef in Uruguay was so plentiful that it was something of a nuisance evidently. Of course that day has passed, but they still have cattle enough down there to convert some 100000, head into 113,0O0.000 pounds of jerked beef in one year. most of which is sold to Brazil, Cuba. Porto Rico and other tropical countries. Perhaps but few people know that the first great factory for the production of beef extract was established at Fray Bentos, a little city on the Uruguay river about a hundred miles above Buenos Aires, the cosmopolitan capital of Argentina, and that it is still oper- ating. Fray Bentos has been called the greatest kitchen in the world. On some days 2.500 head of cattle are slaughtered.-Arg

Fliqht of the Housef1y.

pr. Hindle of London finds that housefiies tend to travel either against or across the wind. This direction may be directly determined by the ac- tion of the wind, or indirectly, owing to the flies being attracted by odors borne by the wind. Fine weather and warmth favor dispersal, and flies travel further in the open country than in towns-probably because the houses offer food and shelter. In thickly housed localities the usual maximum flight is about a quarter of mile, but in one case a single fly was recovered at a distance of ITO yards-partly over open fen!and. When set free in the afternoon flies do not scatter so well as in the morning. Liberated flies of ten mount almost vertically to height of forty-five feet or more.
