Bacteria In Hamburger Steak.

According to an examination made
by Messrs. Weinzirl and Newton for
the American Journal of Public Health,
hamburger steak is full of bacteria, but
is not necessarily unwholesome on this
account. 1t has been suggested that a
limit of 100000 bacteria to the gram
be set as that beyond which hamburger
steak may not go. These experiment.
ers propose limit of 100000 bac-
terra per gram. but add that even this
is low, as about 80 per cent of the SAM
pies bought in the market contain
more than that.

Names Interchanqed.

Mary is not by any means the only
name that has been borne by men and
women alike, writes a correspondent
who has dipped into old English par
ish and other registers. Sir Patience
Ward was lord mayor of London in
1880, Eve Sliffhton is mentioned in a
will of the sixteenth century, and
Grace Hardwin was an old land owner
in America. AS to male names usurped
by the ladies, instances occur Of fem.
mime Philips and Georges, and in one
case a daughter was duly baptized
Noah. A goddaughter of the duke OF
Wellington was named Arthur in his
honor, and in Effingham church there
is a monument to Timothy, wife of
Richard Mabanke.

Blockading was not unknown to the

was a matter of shutting up a fleet.
When Nelson was compelled in pur.

withdraw his squadron to the nearest

two watchful frigates on guard. These
frigates had lively time in evading
surprises from the French fleet itself,
but they developed such high qualities

Rabbit Townsend

On last Wednesday morning at
nine O'Clock the Methodist
church was the scene of a very
pretty wedding when Miss Sara
Townsend, daughter of Mrs.
Matte Townsend, became the
bride of Mr.. George Harry
Babbitt, the Rev. j. M. Wyatt
officiating, using the beautiful
ring ceremony in the presence of
relatives and friends.
The church was attractively
decorated in stately palms and
ferns, the chancel and pulpit, all
covered in white, being banked
in greenery, giving a pyramid
effect. The beautiful golden rod
was used in the green, yellow
and white festoons which mark
ed the aisle leading to the altar.
Preceding the entrance of the
bridal party Mrs. j. L. Seawright
sang AT Dawning" and BE
cause"
Miss Ruth Hunt beautifully
rendered the bridal music softly
playing "Traumerei" during the
ceremony.
The bride was lovely in a
wisteria suit of broadcloth with
violet velvet hat and carried
BRIDES roses.
Miss Carrie Mae Townsend,
sister Of the bride, attended as
maid of honor and was beautiful
ly gowned in a suit of blue cloth
with which she wore a black
picture hat and carried pink
roses.
Mr.. Archiea Mcdonnell, of
Okolona, attended as best man,
while Messrs H. l.. Shaw and
H. C. Seawright served as
ushers.
Immediately after the cere-
mony Mr.. and Mrs. Rabbit left
for Okolona, their future home,
where a host of friends are
waiting to receive this lovely
bride in their midst, having
gained this friendship while
there the past two years as a
teacher in the public school.

Trades Day Yesterday.

Yesterday was trades day, and
while not nearly so many people
were in town as on previous oc-
casions of this kind, the day was
a success in every way. All
seemed to be in a good humor
and out for a good time.
Early, in the day, exhibits be-
gan to pour into the lobby of the
express office, and by noon it
had taken on the appearance of
a small exhibit hall at fair
corn, potatoes, turnips, cakes,
pies, butter, pickles, preserves,
canned goods, laces, embroider-
les, and too many other things
to mention. All of which goes
to show what can be done here.
While less than a week was CIV
en- in which to prepare these and
town people were barred from
the contests, nearly all offers of
prizes were contested for by
products worthy of the prizes
taken. We will give a list of the
winners next week.

1t was ready to take advantage of the

The people of the latin kingdom

Austria was the oppressor of the
Italians. Under the great Napoleon
the yoke of the opressor was for
time removed and the seeds of un-
tied Italy were sown at Montenotte,
at Lodi and at RoEoli and at Mar

public scandal To make political
football OF the educational interests
Of the state, to appropriate high
school funds that are the property OF
all the counties for the benefit of one
county institution with one of the
reasons therefor the making of a
place for a more or less worthy and
deserving democrat, who cannot 9th
erwise be rewarded, is an outrage to
every sense of right. 1t is shocking
to every man VINO believes that the
schools, above all things, should be
kept free from the poluting and cor,
rupting touch of the political bri-
gands of the state.
Unquestionably there was dicker-
ing and bargaining else the Cookeville
scandal would not have been put
over" On its merits it could never
have received respectable vote in
either house of the general assembly.
It has been intimated that the normal
school supporters were brought to
look with favor upon the Cookeville
school bill under the promise of re-
ciprocal support for additional appro-
priations for those institutions. II
that is true the normals were left
with the bag to hold" The Polly
forces could not deliver An outraged
people had raised such storm of
protest that the whole school inter-
ests were under suspicion. Nothing
could be more unfortunate than the
suspicion among the people of the
state that the great sums appropri-
ated in aid Of education are not de.
signed so much for the education of
the boys and girls of Tennessee as
for the making Of fat places for
lame ducks" and as an exchange Of
tavors among the chosen few.
Under the circumstances Prof. BY
mum, no matter how able and capable
he may be as an educator and as an
administrator. cannot afford to accept
place at the Cookeville school. 1t
would be proof of a previous deal that
could never be explained to the peo-
pie of this state. So far as that in
stitution itself is concerned it is al
ready under the ban of public senti-
ment but other educational interests
of Tennessee must not be jeopardiz
ed by the same suspicious circum.
stances.

unity. Austria has been the tradi-

in common between the people OF
Italy and the reutons, less than
there would be between the people
of America and those of Russia.
The government has always been

that there was no popular support of
the Teutonic allies, that the people
of the country were heart and soul
with their former friends and liber-
