a VALUABLE VENUS.

A Plaster-of-Paris Statue That Had
Served as a Safe-DeposIt Vault.
Pygmalion, the ancient artist, could
not be more overjoyed when his statue
became transformed into a lovely
woman than the heirs of the late Nine.
Artaud, who recently died in Paris,
when they discovered a considera BILE
fortune carefully hidden away in the
interior of a common plaster-of-paris
! reproduction of the famous Venus of
! Milo. The history of the sudden find is
curious and ente raining. Nine. Artaud
lied withou making a will, and, as she
/ lad no o tary, her children and grand
children appealed to a financial ad
wiser of the deceased. who used occa-
yionally to put her money out in stock
exchange speculations. That the old
lady had left a fair share of lucre
was certain, and as not a silver nor
bank note could be found anywhere
in her rooms the heirs came to the
natural conclusion that the financial
agent must have been intrusted by Nine.
Artaud with her money before she made
her exit from the world. The agent
declared in the most positive manner
! that he had received nothing for long
time from Nine. Artaud, who, feeling
her end approaching, gave up bourse
speculation.
This did not satisfy the heirs, who
plumply accused the agent of having
appropriated what did not belong to
him, but as they had no proofs against
n 10 20
proceedings. They accordingly set to
work to divide the furniture ard general
belongings of the deceased between
them. The dining-room and salon
chairs, tables and trappings were
in empire style and worth from
81, 500 to $1,000 but, as it would
be impossible to obtain moro than
half their value, the discomfort among
the heirs increased. A lottery of the
effects having been organized, an old
statue representing the goddess of love
fell 70 one of the daughters of the de-
ceased, who was about to break it with
vexation, when one of her relatives pro-
posed to examine it to see if by any
chance 1t were rare work of art. The
base of the statue was covered over I'M
derneath with oil cloth, and when the
covering was removed out tumbled a
choice collection of bank notes, bonds,
securities and obligations, the whole
amounting in value to about $40, 900.
The plaster of paris Venus will be
piouslY preserved by the family now as
an emblem of luck and happy heir

theorists without knowledge of
government beyond that acquired
in lecturing a class of undergradu-

limited to receipting for salaries

decant upon the benehcence of
unrestricted competition between

No human being can come into
this world without increasing or
diminishing the sum total ofhuman
happiness, not only of the present,
but of every subsequent age of
humanity. No one can detach
himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot in the
universe, no dark niche along the
disc of non-existence, to which he
can retreat from his relations to
others, where he can withdraw the
influence of his existence upon the
moral destiny of the world; every
where his presence or absence will
be felt-everywhere he will have
companions who will be better or
worse for his influence. It is an
old saying, and one of fearful and
fathomless import, that we are
forming characters for eternity.
Forming characters! Whose? Our
own OF others? Both; and in that
momentous fact lies the peril and
responsibility of our existence.
Who is sufficient for the thought?
Thousands of my fellow beings
will yearly enter eternity with char
acters differing from those they
would have carried had | never
lived. The sunlight of that world
will reveal my fnger-marks in
their primary formations, and in
their successive strata of thought
and life Elishu Burritt.

TAKING z CENSUS.

The machinery for taking the
census is comparative simple.
the Superintendent has divided
the whole country into rs
districts. There are five districts
in Wisconsin. Marathon County
is in the fourth and includes
Ashland, Clark, Florence, Forest,
Langlade, Lincoln, Marinette,
Oconto, Oneida, Portage, Price,
Shawano, Taylor, Waupaca, and
Wood Counties. For each dis
trict a Supervisor will be appoint
in January. The duties of a Sup
ervisor are many and varied. He
subdivides his district into enum-
orators divisions. He recommends
lists of persons for appointment
as enumerators; he scrutinizes
their work and furnishes them
their schedules, and forwards the
completed returns to Superintend-
ent Porter. An enumerator, as a
rule, comes in contact with only
about one in seven of the popula-
ton. He carries with him SEIZED
ules of population, of agriculture,
manufacturers, of mortality and
vital statistics, and schedules
relating to deaf, blind and insane,
as we'll as of criminals. At the
close of every day of labor he
must, as has been stated report by
postal card to his Supervisor and
to Superintendent Porter. The
census will be taken in June. The
enumeration must perform his
work in fifteen days in the city
and thirty days in the country.
Every citizen is obliged to answer
his questions, or suffer a fine OF
500. Next year several million
family schedules will be distribut-
ed in advance of the enumerator's
visits and at many houses they
will find these blanks already
filled out, thus greatly facilitating
the work. In special cases, where
money is needed for horse hire
and other expenses, an enumeratol
may be paid by the day not to
exceed so. The great body o.
enumerators will be paid: For
every living person, two cents; for
every death, two cents; for every
firm, fifteen cents; for every
factory, twenty cents; for every
veteran or veterans widow, five
cents. -Wausau Central.

PROTECTION INDICATED
By Experience.

Listening to the denunciations
of the policy of protection to
home industries. SO persistently
employed by free-trade advocates,
the unposted voter might readily
infer that Protection was a mere
experiment, unsanctioned by
practical statesmen Of other
countries and without warrant in
the experience of nations older
than ours.
The fact is England enforced
the most rigid protective legisla-
ton known to history during a
period of four hundred years, and
changed her policy but forty years
ago, when confronted with the
fact that there were more people
on her little island than could be
fed from its products, she believed
herself strong enough to compel
other nations to adopt a policy
which would make her the work
shop Of the world. In urging
this step Golden promised hal in
twenty years all the leading
nations of the world would adopt
a similar revenue policy; but,
despite the efforts to that end O
emissaries who have persistently
worked in colleges, in commerce
and through the press, England
is to-day seemingly as far from
the fulfullment of her ambition to
dictate the tariffs Of other nations
as she was forty years ago. AL
the other leading governments o
the world adhere to protection o
the industries OF their people
some of them NOTABLY Germany
adding largely to their import
duties in recent years.
While the Overwhelming
majority of statesmen Throughout.
the world are thus vindicating tht
wisdom Of Protection by engraft

It's A Mighty Cold Day.

In January when Pe-ru-na fails to
keep you warm. When the clustering
blasts of Winter envelop your body in
their icy embrace, and seem to freeze
your very marrow; when you SILVER
and shake with the cold chiIls that
creep over you anG pierce YOU to the
very bone; then it is that you will find,
if you try it, that there is nothing so
comfortably warming and SO mildly
invigorating as this same Pe-ru-na,
sending a genial glow through your
chilled system, it will start your blood
Accusing through your veins, put new
life and vigOr into you, and make YOU
feel altogether like a new man. The
effect of Pe-ru-na in this respect is
wonderful, and is manifested by no
other medicine. AS q Stomach Medi-

PROFESSOR KOCH's LYMPH.
How 1t Acted In Case OF Lupus
for a Hnsnifal for Cansumnfiues

HOW IL hCteQ In q Ease OF LupuS-MOQey
for y Hospital for Consumptives.
The following particulars are published OF a
case of lupus Of the face in Frank
fort, which DIR. Libbertz has been treating
by Prof Koch's method: Six hours after the
injection Of the lymph the tempera-
ture OF the patient rose to over
lO4 F. and the pulse to 100 At mid
night the fever abated, the sores swelled,
the heads of the lupus ulcers became light
yellow and from them exuded serious liquid.
After thirteen hours scabs began to form.
Yesterday the patient was free from fever and
the ulcers were covered with scabs similar to
those on person recovering from an eruptive
fever or from eczema. The doctor intends to
inject more lymph when the seabs fall.
A medical correspondent of the Tdgetldt
reports that in q case Of lung disease the pa
tient complained of pains in the knee, which
were regarded as proof of the tuberculous nature
of the disease, and that an injection Of lymph
was made in the back, which was followed by
considerable swelling of the knee joints.
Minister Won Gossler has given 200, 900 marks
for the erection Of a special hospital for the
treatment Of consumptives by the Koch
method. A patient who has been treated by
Prof. Koch will be shown TO the Surgical So
ciety on Monday. Prof. Koch's report on his
consumption cure will appear at the end Of the
week in the Deutsche Medtztnischs Wochen-
sc1riu
