IN THE SEWING ROOM.
It may surprise most women to
learn that it is not conducive to
good health to sit in a rocking chair
while sewing if the material has to
be kept on one's lap. A rockin
chair throws the body out of bat-
anee by pitching it backward at an
unnatural angle. In it the muscles
of the front of the body—the
icaseles of the chest and diaphragm
—are contracted, the chest is made
Hollow, the ribs are pulled clow.,
and the back is rounded.
A chair with a straight back
should be used, and the body should
be held in the same erect position
that the cutting table requires
chin and abdomen in, back straight,
chest out. Of course, it is neces-
sary when sewing on the lap to
bend forward, but the bend hg
eltould be done from tile hips
back should not be rounded. Sciv
ing at the machine properly con-
ducted is an admirable exercise. Be
=;ore to sit erect, bending only at
the hips, and you will find theirapid
pedaling will be beneficial: as a
healthful exercise.

VITALITY

VITALITY OF BACTERIA.
Microbes Show Remarkable Recup-
erative Powers..
The extraordinary vitality of
bacteria is illustrated by a series
of experiments undertaken by 'Prof.
Burson, of which the German
scientific review Microcosmos gives
an account.
Seven years ago Prof. Btt:sson
transferred a culture of bacteria
coli to a glass tube filled with
chemically pure water, which is a
germicide, as it affords no nourish-
ment for the microbes. Yet that
didn't kill tie bacteria. In the
period stated they had prospered
and increased.
The explanation given is that as
soon as the, water became tinged,
however slightly,: with alkali de-
tached from the inner wall of the
test tube it lost its germicidal pro-
perties, and those bacteria that
had ,succumbed at first provided
food for the ,survivors.
A striking experiment was that
made with bacteria of cattle dis-
ease, which- seventeen years ago
were preserved, baked and dried on
silk 'threads. They were supposed 000 trees, a large number for a city

German .sciloais,
locking state of things has
.
come. to light in a German school.
,-1. week or two ago a pupil almost
succeeded in shooting dead a
French master who he thought
treated, him harshly, and: now a
conspiracy has been discovered
among certain of the boys to mur-
der the principal of the gymnasium.
The ages of the conspirators
range from 13 to 10. They had
bound themselves in writing; lots
were to be drawn to decide who
should ,shoot the prineipal, and
the murder would have •taken plaee

Her identity as a Jewess was un-

16. If I perish, I perish --The
chances of life and death hung upon;
the king's holding out the royal,
scepter, or failing to do so. She'
was his favorite, but another favor-
ite before her had been hurled
down to an ignominous end. The
power of the king was absolute,
his subjects stood in mortal ter-
ror of it, for it was wielded, not,
according to justice, hut caprice..
In a similar instance, Nehemiah
lifted up his heart in prayer. We
have no intimation that Esther did
