Bacteria in Clothing Revealed in Worsted Stocking Study
The British Medical Journal reports Dr Seitz of Munich examined worn clothing and found 958 colonies on a worsted stocking and 712 on a cotton sack. Gloves, wool, and worn cloth showed far fewer colonies. typhoid bacillus appeared after 21–27 days, anthrax remained virulent after a year, while erysipelas and cholera vibrio faded quickly. Pathogenic staphylococci dominated, with most microbes unlikely to cause disease.

Well Paid at Home Italian Composers Find Appreciation
A Sturtford Timer summary notes Italian composers receive upfront sums for each opera based on theater value, season, and artists, with royalties limited. The article explains high payments for major works like Verdi’s Aida and Cavalleria Rusticana, but points to limited profits for composers on old operas and to unequal pay for dramatic authors versus musical composers.

Helping Buff Along The Stranger Tells A Cordial Hoax
A Brookfield man recalls a stranger in a one horse wagon who invited him to ride. The fording bridge and waterlogged road forced both to swim as the cheerful host pressed on. Buffington says the polite ruse left him wary of friendly strangers after that encounter.
