The Tennis Girl.

The fairest of the fairies, she,
The daintiest of doves,
The prettiest Of pictures,
The loveliest Of loves;
Her face is like an angels,
Each hand is like pearl
Most beautiful Of creatures ;s
The pretty tennis girl
Her voice is like the SIRENS song,
Her words my heart entrance,
Her laughing eyes are full OF love,
And charm with every glance;
Her dainty feet in shoes Of tan
My brain put in a whirl;
/ love her for her loveliness-
The pretty tennis girl
The golden tresses like a frame
Surround her charming face
And half conceal and half reveal
The neck Of wondrous grace;
bless the lucky breeze that plays
About each truant curl,
And though she doesn't care for me-
love the tennis girl.

Views of the London Press.

The London newspapers print pretty full &C
counts Of the results in the American cleo =
tions, but comment only briefly upon the fig
ures, reserving editorial treatment Of the SUBJ
ject until the returns are complete. The tone
OF such comment as is made indicates q belief
that the defeat Of the republicans is attributa-
bic to popular disapproval Of the Mckinley
tariff measure.
The Times" says the rout Of the republicans
10 probably without parallel in American
electoral annals. The significance Of the re-
suit IN Pennsylvania can hardly be over-es-
timated: The opinion of the American peo-
pie has been expressed in unmistakable terms
The Post expresses the belief that the re-
cent silver legislation contributed to Tues
days republican defeat in the United States.
The Daily News" takes the result as
evidence that the American people disap-
prove the Mckinley bill and predicts that by
another year they will be in a mood to favor q
revenue tariff
The Chronicle" says that American protec-
tionism has received blow from which it can
not easily recover.
The Telegraph" says that America has not
been slow to recognize the danger Of the Nc
kinley tariff and TO condemn the measure
The republicans have only their own reckless
ness to blame for their defeat
The STANDARD" says that the democratic
victory Is a dramatic answer by the citizens of
America to the attempt to impose a greater
than war taxation in time of peace. The Mo
kinley bill has taught the people highly use

DIR. DiXOn's Claim.

The London Lancet, in referring to the fact
that DR.. Samuel G. Dixon Of Philadelphia
claims that he discovered the method OF curing
consumption by incubation before Prof. Koch,
says:
How easy matter it Is to claim priority,
but how difficult to substantlate. 1t is shown
by DR.. Dixon's claim in support OF his conten-
ton that he established tolerance in animals
for tubercular bacillus. DIR. Dixon mentions he
had met with success in preventing the sus-
ceptibility to phthisis by inoculating animals
with what he believed to be an unusual form
of tubercuiar bacillus, and that he succeeded
in producing marked morphorlogical change
in this bacillus, doing this by subjecting it to
different degrees of temperature, moisture,
pressure and changes in food stuffs. As, how
ever DIR. Dixon is unable to say how this i'm
munity was produced, as he refers it entirely
to the chemical products Of the tubercular
bacillus remaining and acting on the tissues of
the body whilst his modified bacilli are killed
in the tissues, and as the experiments are vague
and bring forward no points not already known,
it is to be feared that DR.. Dixon's claim for the
priority Of discovery and publication must for
the present remain in Allowance"
