" Yon will be caught in a corner one of these fine daya my pretty Sly Boots !" Klizatx'th An-hleiich turnel from the hamper she was filling and looked imjui ringly towanl her uncle. In w hut way ? Not hy your monopo lizing everything philanthropic, nor all the pommodiliea of charity ?" she smiled in roguish retort. She knew what hia comment meant, however; and the retort wan designed to punish him for his attempt to tease her. " The girl waa sensitively reserved al most to necretivenesH concerning her charities, which were bountiful and al most multitudinous. Seemingly she was only a happy-hearted, laughter loving young ladv, some what impulsive, and of a nature neither profoundly rvjective nor intensely sym pathetic. And it was her whim not to disclose the graver depths la-hind her gay and dimplingnaak. " I suppate,'aiid I'neleGay, shrntrging his jolly old shoulder, and whistling softly beneath his shaggy gray mustashe " I suppose that thrust means you have put me down in your black list as a pe nurious and misanthropic- old bachelor. WelL, my dear, if ev?r 1 do turn philan thropist, I shall demand no credit for it. I shall not hi'te my light under a bushel, nor do my charity as if a kindly deed were something of which I was half ashamed." Kli&abcth's very fair cheeks crimsoned slightly, the laughing bine eyes sobered in an instant. "'Let not the left ham! know what the right doeth," she quoted hastily, as if some quick feeling had touched and jarr ed her gentle composure. " You do not consider the power of ex ample," her Uncle ay continued with a gravity which was not characteristic, " Your example would arouse others to help the needy, if you would do your good work openly instead of bestowing your alms and encouragement surrep titiously, as it were." " Yes, a flaunting of banners and a blare of trumpets will always gain a fol low ing of some sort, whether for giasl or the reverse," Elizabeth returned with a w ilful toss of her handsome auburn heail " And if I should advettise myself as a helper of the needy I shonld be distrac ted by petitions from everybody and for everything. I should cry myself ill lis tening to tales of woe, real or fictitious. I shouldn't have a moment left for sweet idleness. I shouldn't have a hit of time for choosing my dresses, for my dancing, for my gossiping and my party going, and for the remaiuder of my other neces sities." "ttossiping, dancing and sweet idle ness are somewhat unique in the line of necessities," said Uncle iay, laughing heartily as he glanced at her fair face, w hich was as solemn and inscrutable as that of the sphinx itself. " If I should label myself with my pet whims," Klixabt-th pursued as she indus triously crammed and packed the hi. hamper, " I should have no end of peo ple imitating the same whims, perhaps, so I should think better of them than they deserve. And I prefer to judge people by w hat they are not by what they would assume to le just to please me." " Ah, I see ! You don't propose taking inflated stock nor giving any definite quotations of your own. You take all the points and give none but you niay be caught in a corner for all that, my fair Sly Hats," her uncle ipeated. Ion't be absurd.Uncle f iay," said she looking half vexed at his raillery. This keen-eyed, facetious old gentle man had evidently guessed a motive in her pet whim and his banter had dis turbed her equanimity at the moment, Just then there was a jangle and a clash of sleigh bells, stopping suddenly at the curb before the house ; the next instant the front door gong clanged ; there was the sound of a familiar voice in the hall above ; and then she was sum moned to the drawing room where the visitor awaited her coming. Elizabeth knew who the visitor was, and there was a swift color on her fair, cheeks, and swift light in her lovely eves as she went slowly down to meet him. The girl had long ago decided tbat she could love Julius Keith with her whole heart, and for all time, only he seemed so badly lacking in the one supreme at tribute which most distinguished the man w -horn she would chose to wed. If Julius Keith were only a little more benevolently inclined, if he only showed a disposition to sympathize with the sor rowing, to lighten the burden of the oppressed, and brighten the gloom of the destitute, he would have fulfilled her ideal of all w hich seemed to her noble and manly. But he had never yet manifested that in lispensable qdality of her perfect ideal. " Unfortnnate people often caused their misfortunes; it was in many instances the bad management of the poor which made their poverty ; the existing condi tion of things might possibly be bettered but how, was a problem he was not wise enough to solve," Mr. Keith would say when the topic was mentioned. And it was a topic too, he never seem ed eag T to discuss, and one which he often ended abruptly or by a jest. Per haps be was not unfeeling; perhaps he was not consciously irreverent in the jest. But all the sail it Elizabeth sighed And SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, was troubled over what seemed such s grievous defect of heart and mind. !he would never trust her love in the keeping of a man who bad neither pity nor aid for th m who had fallen behind in the race of life ; that she had firmly resolved. I thought you would like sleigh ride," he said, as he held the white band which she had extended towanl him in greeting. The afternoon is unusually fine, and besides, I have a'little project I should like to suggest for yoar consider ation." A phantom dance, or a race on snow shoes, or something in the toboggan line?" she said, looking interested too intensely and demurely so, for sincerity, if he could have interpreted it aright. " Well, you can have any of those if you like," he answered. But he had dropped the soft white hand, and Elizabeth wondered st some vague change in his look and manner, which she conld not define. " I mast deny myself of any and of all, even the sleighing, for to-day," she re plied, with a regret that was unmistaka bly sincere. I hope not the sleigh ride," he replied in surprise. " A party of our friends are to meet us at Ie Yalso's. A band is going out ; we are to have supper and a little dancing ; ami then jaunt home by moon light. We had counted on having you with us, Elizabeth." She took a mental view of the tempt ing prospect the glorious sunlight, and moonligt, with the dazzling skytibove and the dazzling snow beneath ; of the brilliant boulevard, with its splendor and merriment of nodding plumes and tingling liclls, of the band, of the dan- I cing and the banqueting. The v ew was alluring, certainly. But then, the contents of the big ham per were to Is? distributed. There were the txtor, her sick, her sorrowing each one waiting for her words of counsel and comfort, for her more convincing tokens of charitable intent in the way of bread and medicine. And then there was a distressed family only a few hours before brought to her notice fie mother dying, the father temisirarily disabled by some almost fa- tal accident, and the only child, a girl, young ami fair like herself praying Heaven f r the trifling help which would keep their home unbroken in their sea son of trial. All this passed before Elizabeth's men tal vision in a brief moment, as she sto! listening to Mr. Keith's concluding utter ances. And in that brief moment her decision was made. The prosjiect was tempting, and the gay party had quite counted on her being with them, very likely, but the afternoon was sacred to ttie unfortunate ones whose grieving eyes would gladden at her coming whose depths of misery would seem but the deeper if she should fait them. " I am awfully sorry," she said at last in careless words, w hich belied her seri ous thoughts. " I should have enjoyed the sleighing immensely. If I could have had a little previous intimation of the pleasure, I could have availed myself of the compliment and joined our friends of course. As it is, I unluckily have a pre cluding eniragtnenf" " With your dressmaker T Mr. Keith observed smilingly, in a voice w hich was somehow unlike his own. " With Madame Sanbroke Oh. she is an artiste, and one of the most exacting," said Elizabeth, catching the cue from the observatiou and utilizing it to the utmost. " Her creations are perfection exquisite dreams of harmony or contrast ; but her fitting seance, it is harrowing! anil her bills are absolutely appalling, as poor Uncle Gay can testify, if he would." This diplomatic little fable charming or otherwise produced the effect in tended. Mr. Julius Keith bowed a courteous deference to her excuses, and as courte ously took his departure. "How dearly, how adoringly I could love her if she were only less frivolous," he thought as he once more took the reins in his seal gloved hands and head ed his belled anil prancing grays down the gay w inter street. " But I might as well, first as last accept the truth that Elizalieth Archleigh hasn't a thought or aim above her gloves and dresses." ' In the meantime Elizabeth Archleigh, standing in the oriel casement of the ele gant drawing room, was watching him out of sight with eyes dim with tears. "He hasn't an ambition above the pas time of the moment," she thought with strange bitterness. "Amid all the pag eant of the snow carnival he will see no visages pinched w ith want, amid the mu sic of the sleigh bells ami banquet band he will hear no wail of woe. His indif ference to the moans of the needy is " The rift within the lute," which will wideu more and more until we two shall drift apart forever." It was in an unwonted sobered and re flecitve moist that Elizabeth started on her mission of sweet charities. Her las visit was to the afflicted fami ly who had been incidentally mentioned to her that morning. But their immediate wants had already been relieved. " It was the rent that was bothering us and Annie going w ild fearing the mother and me was to be packed off to the hos pital," the injured man said to her. "An nie can manage all but the rent ; she's earning a little, and Mr. Keith, as the paid agent for us, thinks he can get some lady he knows to give her sew ing at home till I am on my leet and at woik again." Mr. Keith ; " she repeated wonder ingly. " He is a rare feeling young man, is Julius Keith," the other continued. " It is many the likes of us, and of them in sorer trouble, he is helping out of his own pocket, or gett.ng them work, which is often better. Mebbe, miss, you be the lady he was to bring to see Annie about the sewing." In her surprise, Elizabeth was speech less. To befriend Annie was the project Mr. Keith bad w ished to suggest to her con sideration, without a doubt And she had responded so flippantly that he had deemed any explanation useless. How harshly she had misjudged him! and how unworthy his love she most have seemed in his sight ! Her surprise the next moment chan ged to confused embarrassment as a door opened to admit Mr. Keith himself. Elizabeth had already risen to depart and with an impulse to avoid his notice, she stepped hastily into a dark corridor that led to the descending stairs. In the obscurity, and in her nervous haste, she tripped upon something, stumbled and fell. She was on ber feet in an instant, tiembling w ith excitement and mortifica tion of her rather ridiculous disaster, and in the instant she turned to stand face to face with the young gentleman whose observation she had meant to evade, "Are you hurt?1 be began, and then stopped in astonishment at beholding her. Her blue eyes lowered before his earn est, comprehensive gaze. Her fair face crimsoned ; her red lips quivered with a smile which was half a girlish pout. The young lady bad been caught in a corner just as her Uncle tiay had predict ed she would be, and the fact was not altogether enjoyable, considering her as sumed flippancy of the morning and her fibs about the dressmaker. " So you are the mysterious angel of charity who has preceded me in half the house, I have visited to-day," and Mr. Keith smiled, as he led her down to' his sleigh. " And you are the gentleman who has always held the poor accountable for their own poverty," Elizabeth return ed. u My love. I have never claimed that fact exempted us from relieving their wants," said he. "And now we are to share the work together henceforth, my darling, and I feel my content is com plete." For, somehow, as they drove away to gether to the sound of the merry sleigh bells, me soft, white hand had slipped into his ; "eyes looked love to eyes which spoke again," and they knew that hence forth they should journey side by side, down the way of life. " I am awfully sorry about the patty at Ie Yalo's, though," Elizabeth present ly said. " We have time enough for that yet," he answered, " if your dressmaker is not an obstacle." " Ion't remind me f the wicked fib bing. I wonder you believed it," she laughed. Uncle iuy was delighted at the de nouncemenL " Caught in a corner, eh ? Well, I told ytm so '. " he chuckled. , Need of Practical Education. I have been assured by learned pro fessors that the collegiate course is mere ly an exercise, useful in forming ami strengthening the mind. Therefore, use less studies become useful as dumb bells, stiffening the mental muscles and impart ing tone to the intelligence. Would not useful studies and the acquiring of facts needed in the" daily grind to come lie equally healthful to the mind ? The most our graduates acquire is barely a smattering of each subject. Why? Merely because there is not time to give each branch of study conscienti ous and exhaustive research. It may tie ssked why, then, the number of studies is not limited. The answer is simple. Between the vanity of the parents, who like to say that their sons are deep in this abstruse, and tbe stubborn conserva tism of the faulty, retaining Eighteenth century sentiment in this Nineteenth cen tury of practical life, the course is filled with tares and there is no room for the wheat. Of w hat use are Latin and Greek to the youth who must soon strip in the strug gle for bread ? The barest excuse is that they give an insight into the derivation of language. Well? A dictionary will do as much. Why waste four years in ham mering verbs and nouns, declensions and conjugations into a boy w ho is destined afterward to sell coffee or soap? f wat valuable use is t rench 7 It will take sev eral years to learn, and in most cases not worth a dollar to the future man. Fathers, examine the studies pursued by your sons. You will find that you are spending your money and wasting their most precious time storing up glittering tinsel totheexclusionof hat can benefit them in the sterner days to come.

"A lot of youngsters were collected one Sunday afternoon around a badger hole in which there was a mighty obsti nate old badger one of those old toughe that you could knock sparks out of with a hammer. Anyhow, the young sports had pat all their imported terriers in to him, and the old badger had come out on top every time at least, he hadn't 'come out' on top because he hadn't come out at all ; but when he and the dogs got to chewing one another underground he appeared to have away ahead the finest appetite. A chap who was stand ing hy looking on, said, kind o' sadly : ' I gtiess misters, that my old dog'd fetch that badger out for you if you want him out, that is.' The stranger was one of those plank-shaped citizens, with shiny hair, like seaweed. His clothes might have been entailed clothes, in which family had lived for centuries. and the mongrel was a dog as nearly like his master as a dog could be. Well, sir, the young bucks took a long Vmk at them both, and the more they looked the more they laughed. The notion that the cur could beat all their finely bred, imported terriers just tickled them to death, and first one, and then another, and finally the w hole boiling of them, oir. re.1 (o bet 20, 3U,40 to 1 against him any thing that tbe owner liked, in fact. But they could not bluff the old man off; he stayed with them ; he seemed to have more money along, too, than you'd ex pect to find in such old clothes.

In mnch of the literature under which the press has been groaning in recent years, in regard to what is called the " Lalior tiuestion," it seems to be quietly assumed by the disputants, on one side, at leiLst, that the value added to the ma terial undergoing transformation in an industrial establishment is wholly the creation of the operatives through whose hands the product passes; and hence, that the appropriation of any considera ble part of that value by the proprietor or manager of the establishment, under the name of " profits," is robbing the de serving laborer of his just reward. This position would be'tenahle, if it were true that manual labor is the only foree con cerned in the transformation, or requisite to produce it. But, in point of fact, this particular force is but one of several con tributing to the result. There are, at least, three besides so absolutely indis tiensable to its accomplishment that without the presence and active co-opera- ! tion of each and all of them it could not ! lie attained at all. These are, first, capital ; secondly, in ventive genius ; and, thirdly, adminis- I trative ability. Ali these component f rces conspire with labor and with each ; . i - .i . e e . i material. Inventive genius is constantly accelerating production and improving ! the product by applying the principles of I mechanics to increase the efficiency of J machines ; and, finally, administrative ability furnishes that wise application of means to ends without which no human enterprise can 1 successfully prosecuted. Inasmuch as no value at all can be crea ted in modern manufacture without the joint operation of all these forces, it fol lows that they are all equally entitled to an equitable distributive share in the value which they unitedly produce. Nor should there tie an odious distinction made between the share ipverally allot ted to them ; as we hear, for instance, when it is said that Labor gets wages ; capital gets profits " ; as if wages were honorable and profits reprehensible. What both labor and capital get is " earn ings," and tbey are equally entitled to them. Labor may get profits, too, as well as capital, for profits are nothing but the savings from earnings beyond the cost of maintenance. Thr F'tnim fnr W rrmhrT.

The other evening I was asked by Dr. J.H.Baxter, chief medical purveyor of the United States aruiy, to dine at his boose to meet Dr. Younger, the celebra ted dentist of San Francisco, who was the sensation of the dental set-tion of the con gress. A dozen or more eminent dentists were at the dinner, including Ir. Scott, the surgeon at West Point, V Y., and doctors from Detroit, fj llbuny, Montreal, etc. Briefly, Dr. Younger is able to take a tooth, which may have been extracted months ago and plant it, so to sjieak, in the mouth of another person where, in the course of a few months, it becomes firm, and looks like and serves the pur pose, of a new tooth. He has pertonued this operation two hundred times with but twenty fail tires. He had a trans planted tooth in the upper jaw, right hand side ofj.is own mouth. He offered to allow the doctors of the congress to extract this tooth in puhlic and examine its condition if they w ished to do so. He had one or two patients w ith him, nota bly a negro man, w ho had had the oper ation performed successfully. Five is the largest number of new teeth Dr. Youuger had ever put into one mouth. It is nei-essary to the success of the operation that there shall be enough of the bony process in which the teeth grow naturally, called the alveolar, still existing as a part of the jaw bone, into which a new socket for the tooth can tie drilleiL The tooth must also be a heal thy one, with at !e-ut half of its proper covering, called the jierisementuni, exist ing. It is thought that life remains in a healthy tooth for many mouths after it has been taken out of the mouth. Dr. Younger fills the nerve channel of the tooth with gutta percha, which has the merit of not aching. He then drills the new socket, pnts the tooth in, and fastens down the gnin. The tooth is tied in for a few weeks, when lo ! it is a part of the apparatus of the mouth, as much as if it had been there originally. This natural ly seems astounding, and the facts caus ed a great sensation among the dentistd of the congress. Dr. Younger transplant ed a number of teeth in puhlic while in Washington, English and other dentists volunteering to permit him to do so. The operation is not very painful, ami can lie done in less than five minutes. There is nothing now to hinder lovers from ex changing teeth. Charlie can give up one of his molars, and Mary can sway an eye tooth. In appearance Dr. Younger resembles a (ierman, and theinflection of his speech is very like a German's. But he tells me he is a native of Chili, South America He accidentally discovered the fact that teeth can tie successfully transplanted. A year or two ago a woman came into his otbee in San Francisco who had had a tooth knocked out of her mouth. " DtK-tor," she said," I want you to put this tooth back where it be longs." "Nonsense! It cannot be done. It would do no good," " But I insist that you do it." " It would fall out. The mouth would reject it. It is now the same as a foreign sulistance." " No matter, doctor ; I wish to have the tooth put back." " I am too busy to-day," said Itoctor Younger, thinking to dissuade her. The woman went away. " I got to thinking the matter over," said Dr. Younger to me, " anil at last I determined to try the experiment It could do no harm. I sent for the woman next day, and said : ' If you still w ant me to put that tooth in, I w ill do so to please you.' I cleaned it, cleaned out the socket, a Ad put it back, fastening dow n the gum. By (ieorge! In a month the tisith was as sound and solid in her mouth as the rest and has remained so to this day. She eats with it the same a with her other teeth and knows no difference. That was the heuinningof my teeth transplant, ing. The fact is now as well established as any in medical or dental science." After dinner at Dr. Baxter's the den tists met in the parlor and discussed the matter further. All went away convinc ed, and resolved to try the new process.

The front d air of a magnificent resi lience closed with a violent slani. An thony Jenlo, muttering angrily, cauie down the steps. The door opened and a boy, bright-eyed and full of mischief, came up. " Won't you bring me something?" the child called. "No, I won't," the uutn harshly re plied. " You are so mean that I ought never to give you anything." " I didn't mean to be bad." " Yes, you did. You are getting so that there is no living in the house with you." " You do not love me then, do you ? " Nobody can love you when you are so bad." " Won't you let me kiss yon?" " No, I won't. Go back into the house." Jenlo hurried away. He was going to a distant part of the State to be gone sev eral days. " I ought not to have spoken to the lit tle fellow that way," he mused, when he had boarded tbe train. He took a news paper from his pocket, glanced at the headlines of a tearful calamity, and his eyes fell upon an item hetded, "A little tsiy's sudden death." He turned the pa per over, and the first thing he saw was "A child drowned ! " 1 ought to have kissed him," he mus ed. " But I was fretted," he said, in apol ogy to himself. "A man that's worried over his business as much as I am don't know what he's saying half of the time." The first thin; he heart on stepping off the train at the end of his journey was the shriek of a child. lie shuddered, and a little face, dearer to him than his own life, suddenly arose before him. Even w hile engaged in the transaction of his business he constantly heard, in the sweet, but troubled accents of a child the words : " You do not love me, then, do you?" At night he went to a theatre. A little boy ran out on the stage. Jenlo went to his hotel, lie tried to read. " You do n t love me, then, do you ?" He went to Ni!, but could not sleep. He tossed, cold and then feverish. A uiidniu'ht U-1! ring out the words : " You do not love me then, do you?" At last be slept. He snw several men carrying som -thing, covered with a black shawl, on a litter. When the men saw him they put down theii burden and hid their fa ces. He lifted the black covering, and saw the mangled body of his boy. With a groan he awoke. " I must go home," he said. " I will not wait until morning. He went to thetation. A train was just starting. He would not suffer himself to doze. It was evening when he reached home. As he newred his house he heard a man, in speaking to a companion, say that the body of the boy hail not been recovered. "The little fellow's father, they say, is away from home." " Yes, so I understand." Jenlo hurried along the street "Mr wl !" he said, - Is that a hearse in front of my house? No, it's a carriage further down." Everything alsiiit the bouse was still. He shuddered as he opened the front door and entered the hall. Then there came a loud yel! of delight, and his boy bounded down the stairs. "Than iod !" exclaimed Jenlo, catching him in his arms; "thank Irtid!" " What did you bring me?" " I didn't bring you anything, precious, precious, but to-morrow you may have anything you want." " I've had lots of fun since yon've been gone," said the tsiy, while his father, in prayerful happiness, still pressed him to his bosom. " I got a old cat up on the fence and thro wed stones at her, anil she spit at me and said wow-ow' and Willie Babcock punished her with a s ick and she spitat him and said ' ow-cut-er-row." The quiet sleep of a thankful heart vis ited the father that night No midnight bell rang out burning words, A curly head rested on his arm. A fai-e of sweet mischief in repose nestled close to bialo som. Thad Stevens' Defence. A corresjiondt nt of the New Yrirk Tri bmir tells how Thaddens, who was long the leader of the National Hotie of Rep resentatives, ome defended himselT from a charge of libel by proving the truth of what he had said. The defence proved more effective than the original charge. Stevens, in defending the public schools that had with difficulty been legalized, had said that the Pennsylvania Dutch cared nothing for educating their sons and daughters, provided they could im port and breed fine pigs and cattle and horses. This was made the most of by Stevens' enemies, and he had to defend himself publicly w hen he got back to tettsburg, an.t did it puhlicly. "Isn't it true?" he said, "You, Jake Snyder, have got a ram that cost you one thousand dollars, and none of your daughters can read? You, Hans Deit man, paid four thousand dollars for a bull, but make all your sons work, winter and summer? You, Jimmy, Luotman, own Westphalia boars and brood sows, ami can't read yourself. Ion't yon love your beasts better than your children and your maids?" The honest Itotchmen began to confer. "That is right." they said, "he only thp truth." Diseases of Cities.

Hies, aside fruit being pe-ds, are actu al conveyer of contagion. The fly can communicate Tims froui an open sore, anil carry this from one person or place to another. This may not be credited hot it bus been proved by direct pxperi ment to be not orly possible, but an act ual f ict. The common hours? fly, by lighting on a diseased spot, either in an animal or a man, and thence passing to a healthy subject, has been known to im part thp infection to the latter. Whether tbe poisonous matter tie an animal virus or germ of disease, a bacillus, does not matter ; and in this connection it is well to speak of other common methods of poMuble disease infection. A postage stamp may in various ways convey con tagion. One of the simplest and most plausible is that in which a postage stamp, ptrtially attached to a letter to pay return piwtage, is sent by a person infected with some disease to another person. The disease ut transferred, in tbe first place, to the adhesive stamp through the saliva, ami in being attach ed to the letter by the receiver. th poi son may be transmitted in turn through tbe saliva. Another cause may be the infection of the stamp with disease germs. The stamp, having been exp-d in a room where a diseased person lies, may be come slightly moistened and thus retain the germ. Tbat this is true can he prov ed very simply by a microscopical exam ination, it U even possible that an act ive and tangible poison, such as arsenic, may accidentally, or intentionally, be at tached. We often see a person holding change for a moment in the mouth, probably not knowing that investigation has show n that disease germs can be carried by money. If one conld see through w hat ban. Is the money has passed, they would hesitate before using such a third hand. Silver money is as bad as paper money ; but while many would hesitate to bold a dirtv bank note in their mouth, they think that a silver piece, because bright, is clean. Cigar may convey contagiou, especial ly syphilis. We have seen a note in which a physician gave as an excuse for not loaning a light to a friend, that he w as afraid of contagion : but if he was so afraid he should have been consistent, and refused to smoke the cigar. Cigar w rappers are in the cigar factories, espe cially in Cuba, moistened with the lips and tongue, and the girls who roll the wrappers are by no means of the highest reputation. Disease can le carried in this way. Tobacco, contrary to the com mon belief, does not desiroy disease genus, and smoking will not confer im munity from contagion. Any one who uses a towel in common with the public, or a piece of soap, or brush and comb, or any requisite of the toilet, run the risk of piwsible infection. The subject of antisepsis, simply another word for cleanliness, has not necessarily brought to light many new facts, but has set people to thinking of old one. The germ theory of disease is to most people a very vague one. There is a general idea that disease is carried by genus, and that the air is filled with these, and it is a woniler to most people that every one is not so afflicted, the laity concluded that the germ theory is an absurdity and a contradiction. They do not consider the element of a fertile soil. The genu is the same a a see,!, and all organic Usl ies are reproduced by a seed. We must plant sect in a soil suitable for it, and the surrounding heat and moisture must be adapted to it if it is to grow. A we descend in the scale of 'organic life, we find that some of the lower animals can hardly be distinguished from plants, and these are reproduced not by seed, but by a process of division or budding. A part of the animal is divided and sepa rated, and forms a new animal. A we descend in the scale, we find that instead of seeils we have spores, as in ferns ; but these serve the purpose of seeds, and demand a fertile soil before they can grow, frf many million spore, but one or two may serve their purpose ; the rest tlie without giving any result. As we descend still lower we find that fungi and moulds need not only a fertile soil, but a peculiar soil, and many of them will not grow except in or on an other organic body. In medicine, a common example is the ergot of rye. Another is corn smut. These, in addition to requiring a peculiar soil, undergo an "alteration of genera tion." Fir example, com smut is tirt reproduced on the barberry leaf as runt, and this rust in turn produa-e corn smut. The theory of disease germs is founded on the knowledge of tup action of the lower animals and plant. The bacillus may be an animal or it may be a plant siisonou in itself, or simply a carrier of contagion. It may pvpii In- a result of disease, and have nothing to do with it cause except a a foreign body. Still, as we find it present, and find it always present, we are necessarily in. luce. 1 to be lieve that it is an active agent, but in or der to reproduce itself it must have a fer tile soil. This it finds, as a rule, in a per son whose constitution is run dow n ff.m overwork, lack of rest, poor living, or disease. It may I- intna!tu-ed into the system, or directly into the blsl, through an oja-n wound, thus inducing septicemia, a state of poisoned bl.ssl, or it may be intnalui-ed indirectly into the system through the alimentary system. In this case it must be inhaled or eaten with ftssj. In either case it is alisorhed, or perhaps actively works itself through the mucous membrane. Once in the blood, the bacillus grows, as a mle, by di vision, anil multiplies to an enormous extent. Disease may also be carried by a virus, which may in turn consist of liacilli or of organic putrefai-tive matter. The common example of this is the vi rus of cow pox or of a snake, an actual poison. Either of the factors may bp present on a piece of soup or money, or a soiled towel, or a book that has been in con stant use ; in fact, any article that has been handled by a number of people ; and we can perhaps realize how omni present disease genus are. when we con sider that washing our ban. Is in anti speptie solution, and wiping them on a perfectly clean antispeptic towel, we shall find they are still, scientifically speaking, unclean. Cleanliness, then, is above all to be inculcated as a prevent ive of disease. If not next to godliness, it is surely next to health. .V. T. '.. 7rA,or. Don't Jest with the Bible.
