Great news comes from Vienna. Two
young doctors, brothers, Of the name Of
Jolles, have discovered the grippe bacil
lus. 1t is plainly not the cholera bacil
lus or the pneumonia bacillus, and ii
has head shaped like a bishops cas-
sock. Therefore the young physicians
named it the bishop bacillus. They have
already inoculated q rabbit with the
grippe virus and killed the rabbit. Now
viii they or any other doctor tell US how
to avoid taking the grippe?

4 Valentine Verse.

The poets Cay, Chauccr and Shakespeare
wrote a deal of St. Valentine, as also did
Dome, an almost unknown poet of the time.
One of the sweetest bits Of verse penned by
Dome was on the marriage, Feb. II, 1914, of
Princes Elizabeth TO Frederick, Count PalG-
tine of the Rhine, Thus the address begins:
Hal, Bishop Valentine! Whose day this is;

The America Opera company, which
was to do great things for United States
music, died long ago, but all it's efforts
to be comfortably buried are up to the
present time futile. One of its exploits
was to engage tenor in Milan for
thirty weeks at $125 q week. He is now
suing the assignee of the departed for
his pay and has got judgment. 1t seems
the tenor was engaged without trial
of what he could do, and was discharged
for incompetency at the end of two
weeks. Why didn't they try him on 3
dog first?

Professor r. b. Thurston has q de-
lightful paper In the North American
Review, entitled "The Border Land OF
Science" He tells us that in science
the border land between ascertained
facts and workable theories is ever re-
ceding farther and farther.
Looking little beyond the line of as
certained fact, he foreshadows what the
coming man and woman will be. They
will be far advanced in intelligence,
goodness and brotherly love- They will
be no longer flesh eaters, but will subsist
on grains and fruits. They will under
stand hygienic laws SO well that nobody
will be sick and everybody will have a
fair chance. The body will grow in
strength, size and beauty to correspond
to all these felicitous arrangements.
The brain win enlarge in its anterior even more
than in It's posterior parts and the great forehead
will probably overhang o heavy but mobile face
having a godIike intelligence OF countenance,
with eyes large and prominent with large nos
Iris, with set or jaws at once nItcd Tor the re-
duction of grain foods to q pulp and TO give basis
for muscles capacle of expressing great ideas by
word and by play of feature.
Woman will develop no less entranc-
ingly. "Her intellectual face and her
noble head viii be carried above no less
impressive form" Men and women
alike will be larger, grander, stronger.
They will be more developed in the lungs
and chest, and their stomach and digest.
i've organs viii be larger. Great heavens
Is the coming race to have larger stom'
achs than the present one? Then let us
be glad we are going to get out of it.

THE VERMONT SWEDES.


Much interest has been felt throughout
New England in the attempt to repeople
the deserted farms of Vermont. 1t will be
remembered that arrangements were made
by commissioner of the State to obtain
Swedish settlers for the farms Early last
spring several hundred Swedish peasants
''came over" and farms having buildings,
fences, wells and sometimes cisterns and
orchards, were assigned to them Their
near neighbors encouraged them in every
way they could They helped set them
up in housekeeping and gave them instruc-
tions in raising crops that are peculiar to
this country. They endeavored to make
them contented and happy. But there is
ment has not resulted very successfully.
In one township near the southern part of
the State not settler remains. In most
of the other townships but very few of the
assisted settlers can be found. Some have
left their farms to work on railroads or in
manufactures and others have found en-
ployment in various small industries. Most
of them, however, have gone into the lum-
bering districts near the Canadian border.
Not few are engaged in cutting and raft
ing wood that is to be converted into paper
pulp. They state that they are too poor
to wait for returns from their farms and
that they cannot find employment for their
spare time on the farms of their more
wealthy neighbors except during the sea-
son of harvesting.
1t is pity that the experiment has not
turned out better. Much was expected

During all those years from 1882 to 1889
had employed a hunter, Azaze, living at
Oranga, about thirty-five or forty miles
down the river from Kangore, promising
him a good reward if he brought me a
dead gorilla in good condition. To get it
to me in good condition at Kangore he
would have to start Immediately and pull

THE STRIKE.

We find some queer comments on the
New York Central's difficulty in the New
York papers. For instance, the Times says:
But it was the duty of the officers of the
company, in pursuance of their legal OBJ
legations and duties, to make every effort
to avoid any trouble with their working
force that would cripple the road, and it is
their duty now to make every reasonable
effort to restore that working force
promptly to state of efficiency There
may be men whom they discharged for
good cause and in whom they may be
justified in refusing to re-employ, but they
have no right to say that they will not
take back any discharged men or
any strikers or that they will not sub
NIT any question to arbitration. The
third vice president should understand
that this is not private business, With
which he can do as he pleases. 1t isa pub
lie business, and the corporation has legal
obligations which he is not at liberty to
ignore. 1t looks as though his forgetful-
ness of that fact were the main cause of the
trouble thus far, and threatened to make it
still more serious than it is at present.
The Times may have information which
nobody else has, but # the truth has been
told about the strike, the officers of the
road have gone as far as they could with
out giving up the control of the road.
They cannot do that. Their duty to the
public and to the stockholders forbids it.
The legal obligations of the road do not re-
quire its transfer to the control of the
district assmebly," and it is as important
to ''the public" that the matter should be
settled right as to anybody. 1t is not at
all probable that the blame for the present
state of affairs is due chiefly to the rail-
road company. The strike seems to be a
most ill-advised and mischievous one. 1t
cannot be otherwise than futile if the rail
road company maintains the position it has
taken.

In the middle of the seventeenth century
the boots were replaced by shoes, with
bows of ribbon and lace. The heels were
three inches high and painted red. Ladies
wore the high-heeled shoe, and took

broidered satin or brocade. Under Louis
XIV. white stockings We're in vogue. These
necessitated white satin shoes The red
heeled shoes that made their appearance
under Louis XIV. continued to be worn,
but not SO high, under Louis XIV, so that
about 1735 red-heeled shoes were consid-
cred to be the mark of gentleman But
while the lords lowered the heels of their
shoes the ladies augmented theirs, so much
SO as to make them ''ten inches high" It
swas under Louis XVI. that the gold and

FOR TUE SPRING CAMPAIGN.

The Republican city Council Committee
Arranging for the Primary Elections.
The Republican City Central Com
mittee met at the Sherman House to
arrange for primary elections, to
choose delegates who will name alder
manic candidates for the coming spring
elections. George 5. Willis presided
and Chris Manner was Secretary.
Resolutions were presented fixing
March II as the day for holding the
primaries, and providing chat the
primary election should he held under
the primary election law. The rcsolu-
tions also provided for the same pri-
mary districts as were in force at
the election of oct - last But
this was amended so that the
district boundaries will be named
10y the committeeman from each
ward. The number of delegates
will be three from each district, where
there was one allowed in the October
primaries. Ward conventions to nomi-
nate candidates for the Council can be
called any time within twenty-fom
hours after the primaries are held.
The resolutions, with the amendment
noted, were adopted with very little
discussion, and the committeeman were
notified to give the names of Judges
and clerks, with the polling places, to
the committee clerk, in order that the
call for the election may be ready for
