grand example of living object les-
sons of good farming. The orchards,
while not primarily intended to serve
an aesthetic purpose, may form the
be confined to the animal body end
die with it, there would be no such
thing els an infectious disease. Un-
forturately, however, the germs are
thrown off by the animals through
the excretions grid lie in the soil, in
the litter of stables, upon the floor
and wails, and in (racks and crevices.
Here they remain and maintain their
virulence, ready at any time to be
gathered up by an animal in its feed
or to be blown about 01 the dust and
drawn into the lungs.
For example, tuberculosis hi cattle.
Cattle infected with this clieease pass
myriads of these germs with the ma-
nure, and it is not difficult to under-
stand flow the average stable be-
comes tilled with them. And here
again it is not difficult to understand
how one diseased animal may con-
taminate exten3110 premises.
Many of the vegetable organisms
are very difficult to destroy, for the
reason that they contain spores. A
spore may be likened to the seed of
a plant, for it bears about the same
relation to the germ as a grnin .of
wheat sloes to the plant.
To those unaccustomed to the work,
disinfection ,nay seem a most coni-
piicnted process. Any approved me-
thod, however:, is comparatively
shnole when carried out carefully,
although, like many another mined -
me, it 15 0110 in which attention to
details cornets for much. It is im-
portant to benr in mind that tho caus-
ative agents of many diseases are
extremely small and may remain for
an indefinite time in dart, cracks, and
crevices of buildings, so that efforts
aiming at the et'adlcation of disease
from eontaminaetecl premises Hurst be
thorough in 01114121' to bo effective,
In the work of disinfection nature
luta provided Wean with a most valua-
ble ally ---sunlight. The dark and sun-
less building will be a favorable
breeding place for bacteria, and
structures whish admit the greatest
amount of sunlight will be the less
favorable for their development. Sun-
light cannot be considered more than
an accessory in the destruction of
bacteria.
Disinfection with 41)1410, such its
formalin in a five per cent. solution,
or carbolic acid of the same strength,
or ereolin in a five per cont. solu-

Hop Toad and Leap Frog and Si-

Early the next morning the rain
began to fall in big drops. All the
animals and birds were full of joy.
They bathed in the water and drank
at the poets. Then they got together
and planned to give Mary Yellow -

But Mary returned with tears in

The storm that defeated the 'Spanish

Marne as another. Competent auth-

cannot be adequately explained on hu-
man grounds. If it is true, as Her-

Presence of a moral order, then
something must happen when -that

"The text that has been running
through my head ever since Germany
crumpled is, 'Not by might, nor by
power, but by My spirit, saith the
Lord of Hosts; and I get a lot of
comfort as I think of it. Ours is a
wonderful world. Wonderful for its
chemistry, wonderful for its geo-
metric precision, wonderful for its
vital processes, but most wonderful
of all for the moral purpose streaking
it like veins of gold. The world is
pitched to good. Its movement as
that way. Every evil tiring has,
therefore, the seeds of its own des-
truction born with it. Your Pharaohs,
Sennacherihs, Neros, AttiIas, Moham-

the nations in fear and threatening

their armies perish:"
