The baby castle, narrow toward the bottom, widens to within few inches of the opening, when it again suddenly contracts The hair is turned inward, giving the young Kaffir as soft a bed as some found in the cradles of royalty Four long strips of ante lope skin are attached to the cradle, and en, able the mother to swing it on her back after q peculiar fashion.-Drakes Magazine

More People in the Park City Thsn Ever
 Before.
 The great celebration in Bridgeport which began with a naval parade on Tues day night, was splendidly carried to com pleteness yesterday. An estimate of the attendance would be almost impossible, for the crowds extended all over the city, and were hardly less great in one part than in} another. There is little doubt that the city's population was doubled, however, and fully 70, GOO spectators looked upon fhe parade. All other cities and towns in {the western part of the state gave up tG2ir { own celebration and assisted their sister to appropriately observe her birthday.
 The parade of yesterday morning had only one fault. It was too large. People not interested in the business firms of the city grew tired of waiting for the end, but they were thoroughly impressed with the enterprise of the exhibitors.
 The day naturally attracted scores ot professional thieves, but the vigilance of the police prevented any serious loss. Eleven professional pickpockets were ar rested by New York detectives sent up by Inspector Byrnes. Only one of them was caught in the act of stealing, but the others were characters well known to the detectives and their arrest was pre- cautionary.
 
 is considerately withheld by the police boarded a horse eur at Seaside park when the marine parade was over Tuesday night There was only room to stand on the lower step, and he was obliged to use both hands to hang on. While in this position $50 in cash and $150 gold watch were stolen from him. There is no clue to the thief, and in all probability the clergy mans loss is permanent
 Captain West, Bridgeport oyster dealer, lost S1S0 in the same manner. While hanging on to car the money was taken from his hip pocket While Fair field avenue family was viewing the fire works, John Fuller entered their home and was assuming charge of valuable per sonal propert7 when a blue-coated official { interrupted him.

Don't Raise Painting Persons.

The common practice of raising fainting persons to a sitting or upright position is often sufficient to destroy the spark of life which remains The death of an eminent English statesman a short time ago gave op- portunity to the coroner for emphasizing this fact, and of pointing out how much more reasonable and sound it is to keep such persons in the prone position, while restora- tives and local mean1Are adopted to enable them, if possible, to regain consciousness.

Col. II. NJ. TAYLOR, secretary Of
the International Range Association,
adds his voice to the clsmor for addi-
tional trans portation facilities for
western cattle. In q circular letter,
dated May 10, addressed to ''cattle
men and managers Of transportation
lines" be uses the argument that the
use Of improved stock cars will be the
strongest possible lever in bringing
back the general distribution of live
cattle to the e stern markets and the
cutting out Of the dressed beef pro-
duct. With through lines using the
best palace cars, the cattle can
be delivered in the most distant mar
kets Of the country in good bodily
conditlon-free from bruises and fever.
And when eastern butchers learn
that the western beeves can be dsliv-
cred TO them 10 as good condition a. TO
the Chicago and Kansas City slaugh-
tersrs. they will insist upon killing
their own cattle AID knowing that
they are healthy and iii for their pa
irons. The butchers es well as the
beef producers should, to q man, en-
courage the use of improved stock cars
on all Of the railroads.

be exactly rie same asnasb been cultivated
from the virus taken from the teats Of
the Hendon cows. DR.. Klein does not
hesitate to name this organism the mi
crococcus scarlatine, as having a special
character and a definite mode OF exist
ence, The next question was whether,
itself capable Of being cultivated from
the cow disease, it was capable of being
transformed back into the virus of that
disease.
With a subculture of micrococcus scar
latina, derived from scarlet fever in a
human being, DR.. Klein inoculated two
calves. The first was killed after ten
DAYS, and from blood taken from il q
growth was derived identical with the
micrococcus scarlatina. The second calf
was killed after twenty days with the
same results. In both animals an iden-
teal disease had been produced. Subse-
quently two calves were fed with milk
mixed with the growth from several
tubes of the same date and the same
source as used for the other calves, and
again the identical disease was produced,
this disease bearing a great resemblance
10 that observed in the Hendon cows,
except that there was no affection OF the
skin. But three out of four calves-two
of which were inoculated and two fed
were differently affected. Sore patches
appeared, and the skin became scurfy,
and on each nostril Of one of them there
was a patch Of eruption, which decided
the matter. From these skins eruptions
were obtained beautiful chains of cocci'
c~oinciding with those developed from the
virus of the cows. The circle was thus
completed.
A cow disease which is not scarlatina,
nor anything like scarlatina, causes the
animal TO have sore teats, The exuda-
tons find their way into the milk pail,
and there develop into something which
infects human beings with scarlatina.
From the scarlet fever patient a few drops
of blood are taken, and otter the disease
germ has been cultivated it is passed into
the system OF a calf, which forthwith be-
comes attacked by the identical disease
observed in the original cow. But this is
not all. A case of suspected condensed
milk was brought under DR.. Klein's
notice. Scarlatina had broken out and
could he traced TO no other source. Sure
enough, the m%icrococcus scarlatine was
found in the milk, and experiments with
it on animals yielded exactly the same
results as before. Again, last January a
monkey died at Wimbledon Of scarlatina
contracted by drinking the milk of cows
among which there prevailed a disease
similar 10 that at the Hendon farm.
Microscopic examination Of the internal
organs Of the monkey revealed the same
changes as occur in these organs in
human ~scarlatina, and in the blood the
scarlatina micrococcus was found. By
means of this micrococcus the Hendon
disease was again induced in animals.
DR.. Klein may therefore claim to have
discovered a hitherto unsupported cause
Of s~carlatina, in the form Of a little
noticed and less understood cow disease
quite distinct from the dreaded malady
which-after certain developments Of its
germ-it produces in man.-St. James
Gazette.

BILLINGS people were rejoicing
Monday night over news Of passage in
the house OF the senate bill granting
right-of-way TO the Billings, Clark's
Fork & Cooke City railroad through
the Crow reservation. Mr.. Wilson, of
Minnesota, opposed the bill because,
he said, another road had already
been projected and partly built
through the only canyon which AZ
forded q passage across the country,
and the effect Of the passage OF the bill
would be to enable a set of Wall street
spectators to come in and throttle the
enterprise already under way. Mr..
Toole, of Montana, also opposed the
measure at present, on the same
grounds. He argued that thirty days
be allowed the Clark's Fork & Cooke
Qtty railroad company to negotiate its
bonds before the house attempts to act
on the bill. The bill was passed
ayes ll2, noes 10.

Cod Fishing as n Sport.

A traveller on Cape Breton Island says
that cod fishing is anything but an *
hilarating sport. lie thinks the following
ia a very good imitation Of it: Attach a
thirty pound dumb bell to a thin line,
about l0C feet in length, and throw it
overheard. Pay out line until the bottom
has been touched, wait a minute or two,
and then pull up the line as rapidly a
possible until the dumb bell has reached
the gunwale Of the boat. At this stage
Of the proceedings drop dumb bell and
all into the water again, and repeat the
process adj libitum. BE sure TO get your
self thoroughly wet from the line, or
wear malodorous, second hand oilskins.
and have your hands blistered in as many
places as convenient. Meanwhile imagine
that you are excited over something, and
the whole performance will closely re-
semble cod fishing. Chicago News.

THE SCARLET FEVER GERM.
A Hitherto Unsupported Source Of Scar
latina-Dr. Klein's Investigations.

A Hitherto Unsupported source Of Scar
latina-Dr. Klein's Investigations.
Several months ago DR.. Klein and Mr..
w. II. Power, Of the medical depart
ment Of the government board, cstab-
lished the relation between n disease
found on the udders Of some cows at
Hendon and s~carlatina. The COW disease
was not itself scarlatina, but by cultiya-
ton Of the organisms obtained from
COWS the specific m%icrococcus Of scar
latina was produced. Moreover, this
cultivation was made in milk, and il was
the milk Of the affected cows that caused
the scarlatina epidemic which gave rise
10 the inquiry. Then it was proved that
the virus of the COW disease, IL conveyed
into the human body by the medium Of
milk, developed there into the germ Of
scarlatina; although between the cow
disease itself and scarlatina there is
almost every possible difference.
This discovery suggested 10 DIR, Klein
q further question. He had shown that
the COW disease could set up scarlatina in
the human subject; he would now find
out whether the scarlatina germ was ca
pable Of producing the cow disease. From
O number Of patients in the Fulham fever
hospital DR.. Klein took minute quantities
OF blood. These were placed in tiny tubes
and transferred 10 the surface of nutri-
tive gelatine. In the result ho obtained
clear evidence thnt in some Of his expert.
ments the blood contained organisms. In
other cases no positive results whatever
were obtained. But in four cases out of
nine tho specific organism was detected,
and the organism 10 recovered from the
blood Of pcarlatna patients was found 10
