ribis Disease.
As we learn more Of the tuberculosis
germ and its habits, one by one the
supposed grounds Of safety slide from
beneath our feet 1t has been strongly
urged that milk is only injecting II
drawn from diseased udder; but now
we have abundant proof Of infection by
the milk Of y tuberculous COW in which
the udder presents no appreciable
change OF structure. Ithas been claimed
that the blood and flesh are destructive
to the germ, but we find the bacillus
carried in the blood from the distant
tnbercle and secreted in the milk by
the apparently healthy udder; and 40
to the flesh we find tubercles developing
in the substance of the red muscle
itself. The flesh or milk of the beast
suffering from localized tuberculosis
can not, therefore, any longer be con-
sidered safe. though that Of the victim
of generalized tuberculos is Is necessar.
lily much more dangerous. Again. the
disease has been held to be untransmis-
sible from the mother to the unborn of.
spring. But though many experiments
have failed TO transmit 1t in this way,
the tuherculous cow. aborting at tho
eighth month Of CESSATION, has produced
fRtus already tuberculous. Again, it
has been held that sailing the meat
kills the germ, but culture experiments
show the bacillus alive months after tho
meat has been put into strong pickle.
Thorough cooking, Is undoubtedly, de-
structiye to the microbe, but Toussaint
showed long, long ago that in ordinary
cooking the interior OF the mass rarely
reaches tho heat necessary to devitalix-
alton, hence even cooking must be sci
down as among the insufficient protect
i've measures. -Professos James Low.

A Mean Little Dog.

Bruce and Fog had the same home
and the same mistress.
Bruce was handsome Scotch collie,
kind and generous
Fog was little fox-terrier, . pretty
plaything. but . somewhat greedy little
fellow.
One day Fog came upon Bruce, gnaw-
ing fresh, juicy hone that the butchers
boy had just given him; it was meaty
bone. and Fog's greedy little mouth
watered for it.
lie stood and looked at Bruce, and
heard his great white teeth crunching
the bone, and wondered how he could
get that bone for himself
''lll bark" he said to himself, I'LL
bark loud; then Bruce will think some
body is coming, and he'll have to drop
the bone and go and see about it, be-
cause he is the Watchdog" and he sat
back his head and barked: "Bow-wow-
wow-wow!"
Bruce dropped the bone and listened:
Fog kept saying: "J,ow-wow-wow-wow
Il shall have to co. Bruce thought,
land see who is coming" lie didn't
want to 60; he hated to leave his nice
meaty bone; but he knew 1t was his
duty to keep watch. So he walked of
slowly.
But no sooner had he turned his back
than the little rascal, Fog. picked up
the bone. and ran as fast as his four
legs could carry him.
Bruce did not find any body. of course;
and when he came back to finish his
bone, which he did very quickly, 1t was
gone. and Fog's tail was seen flying
around the corner. .Ah!" said good old
Bruce. Il wouldn't have believed Fog
could be SO mean!"-Our Little Men and
Women.

1t was light-hearted and yet sad
party that went back to San Paola that
night, for few Of them had yet forgot
ten the memory OF their lost friend
And Wilcox. kind old fellow that he
was, went that night to try and console
the desolate widow, and informed her
that he had arranged TO render sll pos
sible assistance to the detectives in
capturing the murderer
At the conclusion OF the interview. At
which Percy Lowell was present they
all decided to leave San Paola 1T once

the wake OF the guilty man.

They walked into the house and into
tonished to see one Of the workmen
from the cellars seated. The door was
closed, but, at Mr. Wilcox's request,
Lowell was allowed to remain in the
room.
This man." said the unhappy widow,
has brought something here which
will probably prove beyond doubt who
1t was that killed my dear husband.
Yesterday one OF this mans boys was
bathing in the stream which flows al
the foot OF the hill yonder," said the
lady, pointing from tho window as she
spoke, land, in diving to pick objects
from the mud in the bottom of the
river. found this weapon"
Here Mrs Delaro produced an ivory
handled stiletto upon the handle OF
which was carved the initials IL ""
Great guns" exclaimed Wilcox,
we shall prove that snake guilty soon
or than expected.
Then a long conversation ensued and
the workman was asked to repeat his
story to Wilcox, and 50 much cngrossed
did everybody become in the recitation
that in the excitement OF the hour 1t
was forgotten that Lowell had not been
introduced
But Mr.. Wilcox soon made amends
for his forgctfulness and told Mrs.
Delaro OF the value OF his newly-formed
acquaintance.
There was much to be said about the
new clew and Velasquezs former his
tory. and Percy warmed up and became
almost enthusiastic over his prospective
work.
They discussed how every thing
should be arranged. On the morrow
they proposed to go to the lawyer at
Santa Rosa. and inform him Of the new
developments.
They supposed naturally chat Velas-
quez had little idea Of his crime being
discovered SO soon. II ever. and that
he was probably on his way East So
they did not raise hue and cry at once
bu, decided that it would be far wiser,
and more prudent, to be sure they were
right before going ahead.
The next day they all started for
Santa Rosa, the county seat where the
trial was to be held. and Wilcox was at
last full of hope that the unfortunate
Anton would soon be released
A consultation was held with the law
yers. but they did not deem it wise to
take steps to secure warrant for
Velasquez's arrest; they advised watt
ing until after the trial OF Anton Rey-
man.
The trial was set for ten days later.
and at that time nearly every adult in
habitant Of San Paola was at Santa Rosa.
The witnesses vino had appeared be-
fore the coroner and the grand jury
were again called. and during the first
part of the proceedings there was only
repetition OF the former scenes at the
inquest, no new disclosures being made.
But there was tumult Of excitement
wnen Percy Beaufort Lowell had been
called and his testimony taken.
What he said furnished unexpected
development to all except the princi-
pals in the drama. and created not only
surprise but intense indignation among
the people.
Then the boy who had found the sti-
letto was called and examined. The
weapon was produced and the servants
of the Dciaro household were called to

MRS. DELARo NET THEM AT THE DOOR
testify that they had seen the weapon
several times lying on tho bureau in
Mr.. Velasquez's room.
Other witnesses followed, who spoke
in glowing terms OF Anton's character.
and then the Judge commenced to
charge the jury. lie told them that the
guilt could not be justly transferred
from the shoulders of tho prisoner to
those of Velasquez on the evidence given
and made prolonged reference to An
toms angry talk with Delaro and the
fact that he followed the murdered
man out of the cellars
The Judge was just suggesting the
reasonableness and probability OF Rey-
man having committed the foul deed.
when Percy Lowell, who had been care
fully scrutinizing the stiletto. inter-
rurted.
The young fellow had noticed that
the point OF the weapon was broken.
Only an extremely small fragment Of
the point was missing, but it was large
enough to be noticed. He handed the
dagger to the lawyer for the defense and
drew his attention to the fact The
lawyer understood its purport IN . mo-
mcnt.
In a rather rude and hasty manner
but such as the occasion demanded, he
called upon the Judge to desist in his
summing up, and asked that further
evidence be taken.
The Judge, who was strictly impair
tial, remarked that in such a case it was
hardly possible that SO blunt . point
could have penetrated the dead mans
body as deeply as Delaro's wound, but
that this was a matter worthy the ut
most consideration of the jury.
''ies, indeed it is, your honor" said
the lawyer for the defense; but per-
nit me to suggest that measures be At
once taken to find the point Of this
weapon before this man Reyman is un-
justly convicted. The most likely place
to find it would be in Delaro's body, and
If 1t is, then there will not DO much
doubt as to the identity OF the actual
murderer"
1T seems hardly credible that it could
have broken of inside of the body"
suggested the Judge; I'VE can consult
some professional advice on the mat
ter"
Then the best man to get that ad-
vice from Is Joel Wilcox" was tho law
yer's reply.
Let Joel Wilcox be called to the
stand" said tho Judge to the usher.
Upon being sworn Wilcox gave bis
opinion. as an old blacksmith and as a
man who had worked all kinds Of both
iron and steel, hot or cold. Said he
III the point of the stiletto had no,
been properly tempered, it is highly
probable that in striking against bone
in mans body it would break off
Then the body shall be exhumed
and the piece of steel sought for" said
the judge. Whereupon the court ad.
journed until the following day.
That same afternoon the body oil
Delaro was exhumed and sure enough.
the piece of steel was found sticking
to the bottom OF the left shoulder blade.
The doctor produced the fragment
next day in court, and it was found to
fit exactly to the stiletto.
Then the Judge completed his charge,
/ but on vastly different lines, the conse.
quence being that Anton was discharged
without the jury once having to leave
their seats.
The crowd cheered him as he wen,
out and one Of the drst men who me,
him was Joel Wilcox.

The striking contrasts in the buildings Of
Washington, displaying palaces and shanties in
CLOSE proximity, have often been commented
upon BY visitors, though more frequently in
the psst than in the present The way in
which the city developed, and the natural
clinging OF residents 70 the home structure.
however humble, have accounted for these
contrasts. But there is no occasion for similar
discrepancies In the streets Of the city. These
are readily changed, improved or repaired.
There 10 no reason why side by side
with the perfection of asphalt surfaces
there should be dirt streets full Of
muddy ruts, wheel wrenching aud bospatter-
ing. II these abrupt and violent contrasts in
the surface OF the streets are due to the fact
that too much Of the street improvement
money is devoted to the extension of the
asphalt pavements and too little to mainte-
nance IN decent condition of streets which are
not to be Immediately concreted, then the pro-
portions Of these expenditures should be
