Tho Multiplication or Bacteria. Dr. PrUdden can tcaoh a" vast deal about bacteria in a very brief time.

Theso baollla, Dr. Prudden soys, con form in their shapes to three general types, which may bo designated tho glob ular, tho corkscrew 'and tho lead pencil, instead of bestowing complox technical names upon thorn. It is only tho living bacteria that produco disease, A high degree of heat kills them, but they aro capable of resisting a considernblo siego of cold. By far tho larger number of bacteria aro harmless, so far as is yet known; but it is now a clearly established fact that others, which con live in water ns well ns elsewhere, Con Snd do produco deadly diseases and promote epidemics, and thcso ilourish best in water that is polluted by boworo.

Even so did a secretory of state declare that Nelson was tho greatest fool ho ever talked with. You must take a man upon his proper ground, you must measure his strength whoro his strength lies. Tho duke of Wellington was not an impulsive soul, Who could get up from tlw dinner table, draw his sword and swagger nbonMho room bragging that ho was to surpass nil tho soldiers of antiquity, ns Wolfe did in Pitt's presence. Wo wonder not that tho minister hold up his hands on Wblfo’s departure, with words to tho effect, "Must wo trust our army to that idiot!” Yot thp groat duko, long after Waterloo, paid a largo sum to got back a letter written by him on tho evening ot tho battle, which letter ho instantly burned, saying that when ho wrote it ho was tho greatest am in Europe. I fancy that, had wo seen the letter, wo should in so far havo agreed with tho groat but by no means oxemnlorv duke. There is tho streak ot tho fool in tho wisest of men, It waa very apparent in Solomon. Thera is tho streak of inca pacity in tho most capable man.
