BERLIN, Nov 20. Professor Gerhardt,
m explaining DR. Koch's treatment to
an audience of many foreign physicians
Tuesday, exhibited three typical cases,
The first yraS ere Of aggravated tuber-
cular disease Of the throat An injec-
ton Of two milligrams Of the lymph
was made Monday There was de-
clded reaction, and a cure is expected.
The second case was one of phthisis.
The treatment already shows signs Of
marked success.
In the third case the injection was
made as an aid to eliagonis No reac-
ton occurred, and it is assumed that the
disease is not tubercuous.
When fresh supplies Of lymph are
prepared, they'will be distributed first
to the hospitals in Berlin, next through
out Germany, then in Vienna Paris
and London, and lastly to private prac-
titloners.
One Death fram Overdose.
Dr. Frankel in a lecture on the same
subject, mentioned one death as having
occurred supposedly from an overdose Of
the lymph He cited other cases as
very successful. The bacilli dwindle
and become crooked; the extremities
swells; they disintegrate and become
converted into strings Of minute
globules Even at this stage watchful-
ness is necessary to prevent the bacteria
from resulning their activity.
May 80 Made Nobiaman.
The emperor win probably confer a
title Of nobility upon Professor Koch as
reward for his services in the interests
Of science Professor Koch states that
IT will be necessary for the government
to provide the lymph used in the cure Of
tuberculosis.

THE RED CROSS ASSOCIATION.

Clear, Steady FI,me That Rose Out
of smoIdering Memories.
The trainers of the National Red
Cross of America foresaw that the great
wars Of its people would not be con-
fined to human warfare-that the elements,
raging unclaimed, would wage US wars and
face us in savage battles; that, as our vast
territories became populated. and people,
instead Of prairies and forests, should lie
in their track. these natural agents might
prove scarcely less destructive and more
relentless than human enemies; that fire,
food. famine, pestlence, drought, earth
quake and tornado would call for prompt
help no less than war; and while organiz-
ing for the latter, the Red Cross Associa-
ton included the former, writes Isabella
3. Hinton in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly for July The International Red
Cross Congress at Berne accepted us, and
the I" CiYil Branch" or Service in Ma
tioral CaIamites," is known abroad
as the American Amendment. Touch
ing this amendment, the wars Of the
elements have not left us quite at leisure.
The Matt onal Association has a field agent
who visits in person every scene where aid
is to be rendered. Commencing with the
forest fires" of Michigan in 1881, there
has since fallen to its hands large share of
the relief work in the overflow of the
Mississippi River in 1882, of the OHIO
in 1888, Of the louisiana cyclone in the
same year. and of the overflow of
both the Ohio and Mississippi in 1884.
The representatives of the United States
Government were present at the Red Cross
international Conference at Geneva, Swift
erland, in 1884. The exhibition of wo-
mans work in the Red Cross Depart
ment at the Exposition in New Orleans
in 1886 was q notable illustration of its
thoroughness. The drought in Northwestern
Texas in 1886, and the Charleston earth
quake in the same year, made strong de-
mands on its energies. American Red
Cross representatives were again at the
Court Of Baden, at Carlsruhe, Germany, in
1887, and the relief of the sufferers from
the Mount Vernon Qll) cyclone followed
ON their return. In fields where yellow fe-
yer rayaged the Red Cross has been seen,
with no Appropriation and no treasury. The
Red Cross received during the floods of
1884 from its societies and the public and
personally distributed in the space Of four
monts the moderately estimated sum of
$4,000.
Previous to the Crimean War civil help
for military necessities was unknown.
Florence Nightingale trod a painless field.
The wars Of Napoleon Ill were types of
cruelty which shocked the world. Out Of
these smoldering memories rose the clear,
steady flame Of the Red Cross.

A JAPANESE FERN.

A CryPtOGa Curiosity, Turned and
Twisted Into Varied shapes.
whats that?" asked CALL reporter,
pointing to a shape that hung in a florists
window.
That? why, have you never seen one be-
fore? That is japanese fern, and they
are highly priced, too, by fern collectors, on
account of their shape"
1T is a natural one?"
Natural Well, as natural as anything
is that has the hand of man to help it to its
result. These ferns are raised in Japan,
and a nation of clever fingers that can do so
much with 4 stiff and resisting wood like
the bamboo are not likely to be balfied by
the plIable roots Of a fern. This plant is a
native Of Japan. If you look you will seq
that it has long tWine-like roots. These are
bound into any desired shape, and, with a
treat deal OF ingenuity too, are made to
assume whatever fapeiful design the artist
may select. That one in the window is
meant for lantern. See, ii is composed Of
six hoops bound together something after
the form of a cube"

Ing his informant. "As i was about TO eX-
plain" said the fOris: with reIrOachful
emphasis, THE Japanese do all their manip-
nlation Of the fern while it is IN dormant
as TO exclude all light and air, they
ship them over to US. We take them,
water them and expose them each day
for a little while to the rays, not the direct
rays of the sun. This soon brings the
delicate fronds to the front and then the
shape is embgwered in bright, beautiful
green To go back to our lantern. 1t is a
very pretty device to hang a small glass
globe containing two tiny gold fish within
The center Of the form, and the bright
bodies Of the gold fish flashing in the light

Indeed, there's not bit Of danger that

that's what you mean. | could refer you to
ladies who bought such ferns from me
years ago, and the ferns are handsomer

DO they require great deal Of atten-
tion?n
3 should say so. The secret is to give
them water when they want it, not TO soak
them when they DO not need It, But the
way that | water them IS to immerse the

moments and then let the plant drain for a
few moments in the sun before l hang it

PETROLEUM In PERU.

Englishmen Said to BE at the Bottom of
OIL Developments There.
Ifreport speaks truly, petroleum promises
to furnish new and important industry to
Peru. For many years it has been known
to exist in large quantities in the district
between Payta and TumbeS, says the Lon
don Oil Trade Review, but 10 attempt has
yet been made TO work it. II is reported,
however, that an English firm in the China
trade has now taken the matter in hand and
has procured the concession of tract of
land in the heart of the petroleum field with
a view to boring for the precious fluid We
understand that the necessary machinery is
now on its way to Lima and the result of
its operations will be watched with interest.
1t is calculated that petroleum can be pro-
duced in Peru at cost that will admit Of
competition with the United States and
Russia, not only to South American mar
kets, but in those of China and Australia.

take care of him. Well, on the night of the
| day that Bill and his prisoner arrived there
was some sort of show going on in an old
hall up on Bridge street. We all wanted to
go. but we didn't know what to do with the
Indian. Finally Bill said: we will take
him along with u.s. which we agreed to do.
Neither Bill nor the Indian had ever
seen show before. Well, we went mp to the
hall and got seats in the gallery, the Indian

old ashioned kind, where the whole COM

actors began firing pistols and showing
knives the Indian got nervous, and finally,
when the people on the stage began falling

afterward that the Indian said the reason

Embarrassing Accident That Happened
to a Minister at a Grove Meeting.
This comes by way Of the Lewiston (AIe.)
Journal: Last season during the presiding
elders visit to Aroostook grove meeting
was held. The presiding elder occupied the
pulpit and commenced TO preach. As his
discourse was very interesting, one young
minister, Mr.. W, who occupied a chair
directly behind the speaker, concluded he
could hear better in the audience, so
going down the aisle be seated himself
on one end Of a plank. The planks
we're placed on three rests, but some one
had pulled the plank OFF from the rest
at one end. Mr.. w. leaned against tree
and had closed his eyes for meditation
when very heavy sister arrived and seated
herself on the opposite end. In an instant
her end of the plank went down, while the
young clergyman shot several feet into the
air The speaker turned red and cbOked,
but finally went on, while the audience al
most burst trying to hold its laughter. As
soon as the exercises Of the morning were
over the presiding elder touched Brother

A MINERS MUSIC-BOX.
The Funny Time Millionaire Daily IA,
81,

The Funny Time Millionaire DAILY Had
with Present.
Marcus DAILY, the mining millionaire,
who. with Ex-Governor Hauser, controls
the Democratic politics of Montana, had
an experience at the Richelieu on Saturday
evening which outstrips any of his trials in
the rowdy West. When in the city Mr..
DAILY usually calls on some friends
on Michigan avenue. An interesting
member of this family is little
girl. The last time the wealthy miner was
here he promised to bring the child
music-bOX on his next visit.
Saturday morning, with this promise in
mind he picked out large instrument in a
downtown store and ordered it sent to the
Richelieu. 1t had been wound up, and
needed only the turn of key to send forth
its music. Later in the day Mr.. Daily got
the musc-O0X from the hotel office and
started out the front door Of the hotel for
carriage. In some way he accidentally
rubbed the musical instrument against the
door, turning the key.
just as Mr.. DAILY reached the sidewalk
Annie Rooney" peaied forth from the box
under his arm. The Westerner put on his
spectacles and nimbly ran his fingers over
the box in the hope of finding something to
choke off Annie Rooney" but to no avail.
1t was the first music-boX Mr.. Daily had
ever owned and he did not know how to
choke it off. As he stood on the broad
walk in front of the hotel holding the queer
looking instrument, which was playing a
street air, he presented something of the
appearance of an itinerant musician, for
there is nothing about Mr.. DAILY to suggest
the possession of millions. His efforts to
stop Annie" were so ludicrous that large
crowd soon gathered about him. The
wealthy miner did not seem to mind the
people till messenger boy yelled: play
somethin' elseP
AT these words the music-box switched
off into "McGinty." The old miner could
stand it no longer. Dropping the box down
on the walk he sneaked through the crowd
and into the hotel rotunda, from where he
sent one Of the bell-boys for the runaway
music.
To make matters worse Mr.. Bemis and
Mr.. Haggiu, who had seen the perform
ances from the hotel windows, twitted Mr..
Daily so numerically about his musical at
tainments that they drove him to drink
and they went with him.-Chicago Tribune,
