Crops of Vaccine Virus

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
DIR. E. J.. Griffin, president of the
Wisconsin state board of health, and
proprietor of the vaccine farm at Fond
du Lac, called on Health Commission
er DaWolf recently. The prime object
of the doctors visit to Chicago was to
purchase two car loads of heifers for
use in the manufacture of vaccine
points. He selected ninety-one beau
tiful animals, Short Horns and Devons,
and with these he will vaccinate the
other 916 he has already. A statement
has been made that one heifer is re-
vaccinated many times. This is a
mistake.
The animal having once been vacci-
mated is thereafter impervious to the
influence, like human subject. The
Fond du Lac farm is one of the oldest
and most extensive for the purpose in
the world. To show the production it
is only necessary to state that DIR. Grit
fin has disposed of between 10000 and
10000 points within the last three
days. The whole northwest, he says,
is feverish with the small pox excite
ment, and the disease seems to be the
worst in Dakota, parts of Minnesota
and northern Wisconsin, probably orig
inally introduced by emigrants. The
number of vaccine points to be obtain
ed from one animal varies greatly;
sometimes but fifty can be obtained,
and in other cases over 1000 The cat
tie used are from three months to four
years of age. Young milk cows are the
most susceptible and productive.
The light red color is the best, and
black the most Objectionable. The in
incubation is always with the cow-pox,
never by smallpox, as is stated by ig-
norant physicians, and other opposed
to vaccination. The sooner the points
are used after preparation the better.
The Fond du Lac farm sends its pro-
ducts to Turkey, China, Africa, and, in
fact, to all quarters of the globe. The
farm comprises but five or six acres,
but is finely supplied with stables. The
feed given is of the beet quality of hay
and oats. The very best stock are
purchased-the calves the doctor
bought recently come from New York
state. 1t is impossible to get good
crop from scrawny subject. The cat
tie are uninjured by the process, and
can be used for any purpose after serv.
ing the farm.

A Free and Easy Prince.

Albert Edwards, Prince of Wales, is
as amiable as he is discreet. Should
he in course of time come to the throne,
it will, | fear, be the case of ga good
fellow" spoiled; for, of course, he can
not go about smoking his cigar in all
kinds of "promiscuous" society when
he is king of Great Britain and Emper-
or of India. / Numbered into an art
lists studio not long since and found his
royal highness chatting and smoking
with fifth-rate painter in the most
friendly and condecending fashion. A
few nights since he went to London
theater and sat talking to the manager
for an hour, inquiring in an almost pa
ternal way into his career and pros
poets. 81 think 'Foggerty's Fairy ex-
cellent," he said to Wyndham. at the
Criterion last week, "but / hope you

again yesterday of the princes unos-
tentatious kindness on the occasion of
the presentation of "The Colonel at
the Princes palace. "My entire COM
pany," he said, "sat down with the
prince and all his gusts at supper, ana
the prince proposed my health in a
neat, graceful speech. wishing continu-

a handsome breast-pin as a sovenir of
the event. "He asked me if l would

anything more for me, and l ventured
to say that would like photographs of

A year ago Mr.. Edward Levy Lawson

Telegraphing from a Moving Train.

On Sept. 81, through Messrs. Dewey
& Co., patent was issued to resident
of Santa Barbara for method of tele-
graphing from moving railroad car.
Each freight or passenger train is to
have its own telegraph Office. Two
wires are required instead of one, and
these are surrounded directly over the
track, and above the moving train.
They are parallel and about eighteen
inches apart. One wire is connected
with battery at the station from which
the train starts, and the other with a
battery at the terminal station. They
are so suspended by a somewhat in
genious arrangement that light rum
ming wheels can run along them from
one end of the road to the Other. The
wheels are insulated from each other,
but are connected with wires that pass
down the roof of the car to the operat-
ing instrument, and through it COM
plete to the circuit. AS the car moves,
the wheels are drawn along on the
wires Just above it, and a constant cur
rent of electricity is maintained be-
tween the initial and terminal stations
through the moving car.
without attempting 10 enuHlSrate
the advantages of the invention, some
of the more obvious may be mer-
toned. All train reports and all orders
from train dispatchers will be c2m-
municated directly to the conductors
and engineers while the train is in mo-
ton. Passengers can receive and trans
NIT messages at any time during their
journey, without any of the inconveni-
ences now experienced. Directors and
distinguished parties travelling in their
own private cars will find it especially
convenient to have telegraph Office
constantly ON hand. But the one great
value of the invention, after all, will be
it's preservation of life and property by
preventing collisions.-,Sa',ta Barbara

How CheapIy One Can Live.

Bread, after all says the american
Miller is the cheapest diet one can live
on, and also the best. A story is told
that shows just how cheap man can
live, when he gets "down to mush, !"
iguratively and literally speaking.
Col. Fitzgibbon was, many years ago,
colonial agent at London for the Cana
dian government, and was wholly de-
pendent upon remittances from Canada
for his support. On one occasion these
remittances failed to arrive, and as
there was no cable in those days, he
was compelled to write to his Canadian
friends to know the reason of the delay.
Meanwhile he had just one sovereign
TO live upon sixpence per day, or about
twelve and half cents of our money
four pennywolths of bread, one pen
nyworth of milk, and one pennyworth
of sugar. He made pudding of some
of the bread and sugar, which served
for breakfast, dinner and supper, the
milk being reserved for the last meal.
When his remittances arrived, about a
month afterward he had five shillings
remaining of his sovereign, and he
liked his frugal diet SO well that he
kept it up for over two years, possibly
longer. Twelve cents a day is certain
ly small amount to expend for food

wears ago, worried through whole year

We know of theological student IN
an Ohio college who, sustained life by
grace, rice and corn bread, living thir-
teen weeks on 81; but there was sever
al good apple orchards near the college
and the farmers kept no dogs. 1t Is
not the necessities of life that cost
much, but the Injuries; and it is with
the major part of mankind as it was
with the Frenchman who said that il
he had the Injuries of life, he could
dispense with the necessities. Mere
living is cheap, but as the hymnologis
saws. " it is not of life to live"

STAYING off a Run.

In times of severe panic people have
been known to refuse Bank of England
notes md prefer local notes. In coun-
try districts OF Scotland the old one
pound notes were greatly preferred to
sovereigns. 1t is said that when there
was a run upon the Bank of England in
1865 the device was resorted to of pay
ing the country people in shilling and
sixpence. One acute Manchester firm
painted all their premises profusely,
and many dapper gentlemen were de-
tered from approaching the counter.
A story is told of Cunliffe Brooks bank.
When there was an mpetuous and I'M
reasoning rush for gold, Mr.. Brook OBJ
tanned a number of sacks If meal,
opened them at the top, put good
thick layer of coin upon the contents,
then placed them united where the gilt
tering coins would be manifest to all
observers. One bank procured num-
ker of people as confederates, to whom
they paid gold, then slipped round
again to back door and refunded it,
and thus the effect of a stage army was
produced. At another ,ank the chief
cashier himself, examined every note
with the most searching scrutiny. hold
ing it up to the light, testing the sigma
ture, and making believe that on ac-
count of alarm as to forgery, there was
need of the most scrupulous care.
When he had completed his pretended
examination, he handed the note to
one of his subordinates very delibe-
rately, With, in slow and measured
terms, "You may pay it," Others
plans were to pay the money very
languidly, counting it twice ever, so as
to be sure the sum was right, and 10
give a sovereign short, so that the Gus
toner should complain, and the count
ing have to be done over again. AT
one of the banks peck measures in
vcrted were placed in the windows
facing the street, pile of gold upon
the top, after the manner of the fruit
exposed for sale at street corners IN the
summer At another, the coin was
heated in shovels over the fire in the
| parlor behind and handed out as "new''
at temperature of 5000 Fahrenheit
The clerk in charge, accommodating his
| phraseology to the occasion, cried out
| loudly every half hour: Now Jim; dc
be gettin' on with them sovereigns;
folks is waitin' for their money.
"ComiDg, sir, coming" was the ready
reply, and the "folk" thought the power
of production boundless. 1t is always
the simple-minded and the uniformed
who constitute on such occasions the
chief portion of the throng, just as the
people who go to extremes are the half
educated ones. The crowd was easily
persuaded the proof that all was righi
was burning their ingers.-Loyadon So

CIGAR-STuRS AND OPIUM.
The Detachable Ingredients of the
Modern Cigarette-A Growing Vice.

Phlladephia Times.
| ran across a cigarette mandatory
the other day, says Joe Howard.
Whew wouldn't write-or, rather,
you wouldn't dare print what | saw.
Dirty butts of cigars fresh from the
filth of the muddy streets are the
cleanest and incest of the material used
in compiling these precious roads to
run. j came down town on Madison
avenue car this evening, and on the tail
end there were three little chaps, the
Oldest about a. Each smoked a ciga-
rette and spat his little life away. /
ventured to ask if they enjoyed the
odor. They said they did, And the
taste? On inquiring. l found they had
well-known brand of cigarette, noted
for its "opiurn soak" and its terrible
smells when burning. Poor little
devils. They can't last long. They
were pale and sickly, puny and offens-
i've. What kind of men will they
make? Men? They're men already
i'll their own eyes. They and MAORI
ty of our little lads are full Of the slang
of the day, up in all the catches, and
abundantly able to hold up their end
of a conversation. ! subsequently saw
these three boys in Niblo's Garden. 1t
would have done you good to hear
them talk. A blind man might reason
ably think he was listening to three
old men. Nothing was new. They had
seen it all before, and better done at
that. Down went the curtain, out
went the boys, but before they felt the
first breath of the fresh air from the
street each puny hand held cigarette
to the vile-smelling mouth, and puff
puff they sickened everybody in their
vicinity. This is an old grievance of
mine, and don't care to bore yeu with
it, but feel it keenly.
Day by day vice grows stronger.
There was time when cigarette smok-
ing was confined almost entirely to
Cubans, who knew what good tobacco
was and made their own cigarettes.
Gradually the habit spread. Dealers
followed suit. Makers became I'M
scrupulous. Little dirty boys were
sent out to pick up cigar stumps.
Other equally disgusting material was
also util zed. Opium was made to do
duty. Cheap paper took the place of
rice paper. / wish these boys could
see the stuff that their paper is made
from? Wouldn't it turn their little
stomach? l trow, trow. The cheap
paper, the old stumps, the opium, and
the chemicals used to make them
Strong" deserve to be shown up.
Parents have no influence with their
sons. Why not? Because they smoke
cigars or pipes themselves. The boys
charge all the good advice they get to
their fathers desire to keep them
down. There is but one way to deal
with American boys. Reason with
them through their eyes. If every
nicotined stomach was made public, if
every time fellow died of too much
cigarette the fact was made known, if
the proud boys could be shown rag
factory aad stump grindery, it seems
to me the cigarette business would be
wound up very soon.

Daniel; Webster's Presence.

Perhaps no man ever lived that, quite
apart from any adventurous circum-
stances affecting him, such as accident
of birth, or dignity of station, apart in
deed from actual achievement of his
own, by mere and pure force of in
herent character and personality, go
impressed the generation to which he
belonged as did Daniel Webster. There
was something almost supernatural
about it. The adjectives by which he
was customarily characterized, in the
common and instructive speech of the
people, attributed kind of divinity to
the man. He was the "godlike Daniel
to his ceuntrymen in general, who thus
called him by a phrase which, with a
certain semi conscious humor in it racy
of the national character, redeemed its
own excess of veneration by correct
i've dash of associated familiarity. But
no less the educated men among his
fellows were accustomed to employ in
in their own more scholarly way SINH
lar language. To them, he was "Jove,"
"decended- god," a "demi-god," "the
Olympian." If he went abroad, some
Englishmau said he Cooked like a
cathedral" or Sydney Smith, with ir-
reverent homage to his Titan might,
said he "was q steam-engine in
breeches."
This imposing effect of Webster's
personal presence was partly due to the
remarkable physical mold in which he
was cast. He was not gigantic in pro-
portions, was not even greatly above
the medium height, but somehow the
behoider took from him an instan-
taneous and overwhelming impression
of immense mass, weight, momentum,
in one word, of power. He was al
ways one Of the sights OF Boston, where
his presence in the streets made the
neighboring buildings look smaller.
Men from the country, that did know
who it was, would stand to gaze at him.
OF course, as soon as you were aware
that physical frame so magnificent
was the abode of moral and intellect
ual nature not unfit to inhabit it, the
pleasurable inspiration of wonder, and
awe that you felt in beholding was more
than doubled. But when, in addition,
you could assure yourself that this man
was the great. lawyer, the great states
man, the great orator, of his country
and time, why, naturally, the enthusi-
asm of admiration and delight of which
you were conscious in his presence be-
came something extraordinary.

Tony Pastor in Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York, who is
now with his inimitable variety combi-
nation, making a tour of the principal
cities of the Union is recognized as the
leading character vocalist and variety
performer of the United States. He
owns and runs a first-class theatre on
Broadway, New York City, and has
gathered about him the best troupe of
variety artists that could be obtained.
The company has just completed
brilliant engagement at the Walnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and after
the present tour they viii reappear in
Tony Pastors own theatre in New York
City. Mr.. Pastor is the originator of
his peculiar school of character singing,
and has made himself immensely pop
ular. having realized by his talents a
large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr..
Pastor receRtly at the Bingham house,
in Philadelphia, and found him as
genial III private as he is amusing be-
fore the public. During our conversation
| inquired as to his physical health,
and he replied that, Notwithstanding
the strain upon him in the discharge CT
his professional duties it was excellent.
He had occasionally severe pains, either
the result of rheumatic attacks or colds,
but any complaints of that character
never troubled HIM long, as he had
found out remedy for all such an
moving affections. / asked him what
the remedy was, and he replied, st.
Jacobs Oil" then learned from Mr..
Pastor that he considered the Great
German Remedy an excellent prepare
ton for the cure or relief of rheuma-
tism, and that it was about the only
thing used among professional people
for that distressing complaint. He
took bottles of it with him whenever he
went travelling, and would not be with
out it, and knew that it was very pop
ular with number of members of his
own company. A conversation held
subsequently with various members of
the organization revealed the fact that
st. Jacobs Oil had been performing most
invaluable service for them in the way
of curing them of rheumatism. Near
ly every artist in the troupe used it,
and was enthusiastic in its praise, and
the writer was really forced to the con-
clusion that Tony Pastor was certainly
in luck in having SO valuable an article
known and employed by his inimitably
good company of performers, for it
enabled every one to be always in his
place, thus insuring comfort to the
management and genuine satisfaction
to the public. Tony Pastor would GER
tainly be in trouble without st. Jacobs
Oil. At least, other managers whose
artists have been temporarily unsup-
piled, have noticed the difference be-
tween St. Jacobs Oil in stock and st.
Jacobs Oil out of stock-among the
members of their companies.-N Y.

To be Tried Together
Naw York SIM

New \ ork Sun.
II will try them together, convict
them together, and hang them togeth-
err" said States Attorney Doolittle,
grimly, to the reported who asked him
the other day if he proposed to try the
Mallevs and Blanche Douglas separate
". He added that he was prepared to
proceed at the present term of the SUI
perior court.
All along Mr.. Doolittle has talked as
grimly of the fate OF the three prison
ers. He is quoted as saying that the
coming trial, will be repetition of the
Hayden trial, meaning, probably, that
it will be free from so-called expert
testimony, and will proceed expedit-
iously. One of his expressions is:
Eve will try and make it plain to all
that young girls cannot be outraged
and murdered and the guilty go free
solely because they have money"
So far as known at present Mr.. Doc
little will conduct the prosecution, aid
ed only by the West Haven lawyer, Mr..
Bush. Messrs. Blydenburgh and Fox,
who have heretofore defended the
young men, expect to be retained, and
efforts are being made to associate
with them third lawyer of high stand
ing. 1t seemed to cause the greatest
astonishment to the defense that by
vote of IL to the grand jury should
return true bill; but after a time, con-
ISOLATION was derived from the fact that
the grand jury stood exactly the same
in the Hayden case, while only one
member of the petit jury thought the
prisoner should hang.
The Malleys took the action of the
grand jury very much at heart;
Blanche Douglass simply said that she
had expected it. She does not exactly
understand what "a true bill" means,
and will not begin to appreciate her
position until she stands in the dock
on trial for her life. She is still Sc
cluded from every one except her at
torneys, gets no letters, and seemingly
has no friends. She can barely read
writing, and manifests little desire to
read books or newspapers. She will
be defended by E. G. Dow and ex-
Judge w. B. Stoddard. 1t has been
rumored that she will be used solely to
convict the Malleys, and that her own
escapes is assured; but the principal
attorney for the state and her two law
yers deny this, and the latter insist
that she will tell no other story than
she has already told. Whether she has
turned states evidence or not, it is
significant that she is carefully guarded,
while the Malleys are allowed many
liberties, including the privilege of see
ing whomsoever they please. Blanche
passes her time in sewing, and, it is
said, in reading the Bible, James NAL
ley in reading novels, and Walter in
sketching, and playing the either. He
proposes to publish shortly waltz he
has composed.

He Would Have it.
Cincinnati Saturday Night.

One of the most touching things we
have heard in long time is the story
of a robber and poor, lone woman
near Franklin, Ohio. The robber came
to her house at night and demanded
her money or her life; but she prefer
red giving up. the former rather than
the latter, so she brought her little store
and laid it in his hand. He looked IT
over carefully, to see that she didn't
palm off any twenty. cent pieces for
quarters, and facetiously told her that
he could only credit her for niHety-four
cents on the trade dollars, Gliding her
for taking them at their face value.
"Havn't anything else of value?' in
CURED the bold, bad burglar, looking
about the scantily-furnished apartment;
ia child's bracelet, ring anything will be
thankfully received" She had nothing
more, she replied, with q sigh. A
thought struck him. "Your husband
was a soldier, was he notg' She
acknowledged that he was, and was
killed in the war. "Then he must have
had revolver" he continued searching
her countenance. "Ahl you grow con-
fused, you stammer; your manner be-
trays you. Get that revolver at once
and give it to me-" In vain the woLlan
implored him to spare that harmless
trinket, almost the sole memorial of the
husband she had lost. She had pawned
many things, when in distress, but had
always hung on to that. But the robber
was unrelenting. Sobbing bitterly she
went to q bureau drawer, and removed
the precious relic around which cluster
ed so many tender recollections. "Must
