AT fhsteur behuquhrters IN Ihris-
A most extraordinary museum has
just been opened in the Rue Vauguelin.
1t is difficult to say whether it should
best be called a museum, or a factory,
or a farm, or a menagerie. II is in fact
all four combined, and grouped together
for a purpose hitherto untried, and pre-
senting an appearance hitherto unparal-
leled. These are the new headquarters
of NJ. Pasteur, and here are to be found
cow-houses. sheepfolds, fowl walks.
rabbit hutches, and dog kennels. They
are all, moreover, fully occupied.
On one floor is a laboratory, where the
vaccine soups and preparations are
made up. Above it is a museum, where
specimens connected with the new cure
are exhibited. There are operating
rooms and rooms for post-mortem in
designations and dissecting purposes.
Two of the kennels are devoted to dogs
in various interesting stages of early or
advanced rabies. Hen cholera" is COM
municated, watched, and cured in the
fowl-house. The cattle exhibit various
stages Of vaccination.
Human beings have also their pro-
vided quarter. A spacious waiting-room
is set apart for patients, who troop in
daily in picturesque groups-according
to the French press-representing all
nationalities. In the mean time the
great savant occupies the former quart
ers of the Pasteur institute in the Rue
d'Ulm, and devotes himself in dignified
seclusion to scientific research.

Rivalry Between tho East and West
"This question of the rivalry Of the
east and west" continued the gentle
man, grows more important every year.
The Atlantic seacoast, with New York as
its head center, becomes more and more
antagonistic to the interests Of the west,
and it is only a question Of time when
there will be a great party of the east OPP
posed to n Of the west and south. The
elements for@ssuch parties are forming,
and it seems to me when they crystal
lie that the reign of New York will be
for the time over, and that the great
west will rule. The west has now the
major part of the voting population Of
the United States and it is in the infancy
of its growth, while the east is far ad-
vanced."
Might such a state OF affairs lead to
the moving of the national capital to
the west or center of the country"
mo! Washington City will continue
to be the capital Of the United States as
long as the Union lasts. The railroad
and the telegraph have made all parts of
the country neal to each other, and
there is not the reason for a central
capital as in the past. II you will look
over the world you will find that the
great capitals are seldom in the center
of the population over which they gov
ern. London is in a corner of Great
Britain, Paris is in the north Of France,
Pekin is in the east Of China, Berlin is in
the north Of the German empire, and st.
Petersburg is away off on n side Of
Russia. Then there is too much money
invested in Washington, both by poll
ticians and the people, to ever allow of a
change of the capital. The senators and
representatives now own private prop
erty in Washington running high into
the millions, and there will always be
large individual interests owned by the
men who control such movements The
government buildings of Washington are
worth at least 800, 900, 900, and the
parks are worth many millions more.
Then there are the historical associations
OF nearly 100 years of III government.
No, l don't think the capital can ever be
moved, and 1 don't think it should be-"

Providing for New York's "Unwashsd."

New York provides literally for its
great unwashed" in a fleet of eleven
free baths which are moored at different
points in the East and North rivers.
These baths are big brown houses, look
ing like half of a packing box, with two
doors on the land side from which egress
and ingress is had to the baths. These
boxes are moored with two strong cables
and ride at anchor. The largest of them
is at the battery, and and resembles the
old picture-book representations of
Noah's ark, with the American flag fly
ing from the peak.
Access to these baths is had by means
OF a broad gang-plank, and an unruly
rush is prevented by the presence of a
big, good-natured policeman. The baths
are open from o in the morning until 0
at night, and are a popular resort for all
the men and boys who can not go
to the beaches. They are clean, under
control of bathmen, and those frequent
ing them are subject to rules and regula-
tons governing them. At the battery is
a free bath for girls and women at a
short distance from that of the boys, but
at the other places alternate days are
given &c women.-Cor. Chicago Journal.

John Adams love affairs were numer-
GUS. In 1894, the year in which he was
married, he writes in his diary:
u was of an amorous disposition, and
very early, from 10 to II years of age,
was very fond Of the society of females.
l shall draw no characters nor give any
enumeration of my youthful flames. 1t

the dead or the living. This l will say:
They were all modest and virtuous girls,
and always maintained their character
through life. No virgin or matron ever
had cause to blush at the sight Of or re-
greet her acquaintance with me-.
These reflections. to me consolatory be-
yond expression, l am able to make with
truth and sincerity; and 1 presume 1 am
indebted for this blessing to my edu-
cation.-Frank j. Carpenter in Lippin-

containing musical instruments, tools
used in the various trades, and other APP

be entered into the institution it was to
be taken into this room and its actions
observed. If the little ones inclination

to be educated as a musician. If its de-

A LITTLE SUFFERER
Cisansed, Purified and Beautihed by the
Cuticura Remedies.

IL affords me pleasure to give you this
report OF the cure of our little ~grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began to swell
and had every appearance OF a large boil.
We poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About frye months after it became a run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure 1t took less time for them to break
out. A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging n
great deal. This was his condition at %
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (scrofula, of %coursc). He could walk
a little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies. using the Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle Of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for a year and a half. One sore
after another healed, n bony matter form
ing in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured. and is now at the age of G
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able to use
them. All that physicians did Tor him did
him n good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider it a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are Of any use to you. you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. 4. S.
briggs, 6l2 Clay St., Bloomington, III.

ton than he appeared to his grandmother,

The value of coral depends on its color
and size. The white or rose-tinted vari-
ETY. stands highest in popular esteem,
perhaps chiefly because it is the rarest.
1t is mostly found in the straits of Mes
sina and on some parts of the African
and Sandman coasts. The bright red
coral, in which the po)yps are still living
when it is fished up, stands next in
value. Dead coral has a duller tint, and
is consequently sold at a lower price.
Two entirely different substances bear
the name of black coral. One of them
is not, properly speaking, coral at all,
and it is commercially worthless, as it
breaks into flakes instead of yielding to
the knife, though it is often sold as a
costly curiosity to foreigners. The other
is the common red coral which has IN
dergone a sea change, probably through
the decomposition of the living beings
hat once built and inhabited it. 1t is
not much admired in Europe, but in In
dia it commands high prices, SO that
large quantities of it are exported every
year..
These are the four important distinc-
tions of color, though they, of course,
include intermediate tints which rank
according to their clearness and bril-
liancy. The size is a still more impor-
tant matter. The thickness of the stem
of the coral plant-we use h CONNER
cial and entirely un%scientific expression
determines its price, and many a
branch of red coral is valued mdre highly
OF account of its thickness than asmaller
piece of the choicer rose color. The
reason for this is clear. A large,
straight piece of material affords an OPP
portunity to the artificer; a crooked one,
if it is only bulky enough, can at least
be turned into large beads; mere points
and fragments can only be used for
smaller ones, or made into those horns
which are said to be invaluable against
the evil eye, but which do not command
a high price in the market, perhaps be-
cause it is Observation-Disclosures Re-
view.

LIFE AMONG THE ALAsKANs.


How the Original Settlers of Our Now
Territory Enjoy Home Life.
Clumsy squaws were squatting in rows
along shore as we lounged about the vii
lage; hideous bucks-I trust they were
not framed in the image Of their Maker
-ill-shapen lads, dumpy, expressionless
babies. green-complexioned half-breeds,
sat and looked on with utter indiffer-
ence. Many Of the Haida Indians have
kinky or wavy hair. Japanese or Chinese
eyes, and most Of them toe out; but they
are, all things consider ed, the least in
teresting, the most ungainly and the
most unpicturesque of people. If there
is work for them to do they do it, quite
needless of the presence Of inquisitive
pale-faced spectators. Indeed, they seem
to look down upon the white man, and
perhaps they have good reasons for doing
80. II there is no work to be Ion they
are not in the least Disconnected.
l very much doubt if a Haida Indian,
or any other Indian for that matter,
knows what it is to BIO bored or to find
the time hanging heavily on his hands.
l took note of one old buck who sat for
four solid hours without once changing
his position. He might nave been sit
ting there still but that his squaw routed
him out after a lively monologue, to
which he was an apparently disinterested
listener. AT last he arose with a grunt,
adjusted his blanket, strobe grimly to his
canoe and bailed it out; then he entered
and padded l~eisurely to the shore, where
he disappeared in the forest. Filth was
everywhere and evil odors, but far, far
aloft the eagles were soaring, and the
branches of a withered tree near the set
Element were filled with crows as big as
buzzards. Once in a while some one or
another took a shot at them-and missed.
Thus the time passed.
Killisnoo is situated in a cosy little
covert. 1t is a rambling village that
climbs over the rocks and narrowly es-
capes being pretty, but it manages to
escape. Most of the lodges are built Of
logs, have small, square windows, with
glass in them and curtains, and have
also a kind of primitive chimney. We
climbed among these lodges and found
them quite deserted. The dodgers were
all down at the dock. There were in
scriptions on a few OF the doors, the
name of the tenant and a request to OBJ
serve the sacredness of the hearth. This
we were careful to do, but inasmuch as
each house was set in order and the win
dow curtains carefully Topped back, we
were no doubt welcome to a glimpse of
an Alaskan interior. 1t was the least
little bit like a peep-show, and didn't
seem quite real. One inscription was as
follows-it was over the door of the
laureate:
