Don't Cost a Cent,

One of the principles of economy is
never to buy what you can get along
without. Whoever has learned this
may be said to have started on the
road to wealth.
An agent was exhibiting a new-fan-
gled wagon-jack near the market, and
a colored man who was there with his
horse and wagon seemed much pleased
with it until he found the price ST..
''Dat settles me-" he said, as he
climbed into his vehicle.
"But it's worth the money" per-
sisted the agent.
"Ize got a cheaper thing, sah.'
"What is it,"
"Why, my ole woman kin hold up
de eand of dis wagin while grease de
axes, and it don't cost me a cent. "

The Progress Of Electric Lighting.
Sir Frederick Abel, president of the
British association, in recent adj
dress said that nine companies were
now or would soon be at work supply
ing from central stations districts of
London comprising almost the entire
western and northwestern portions of
the metropolis. In other parts of
England there were already twenty
seven lighting stations actually at
work in different towns. English re-
cent progress, however, was insignifi-
can't as compared with the strides
made in the application of electric
lighting in the United States. While in
America the number of arc lamps in
use in April this year was 235, 900,
and of glow lamps about 5000, 900,
there were only about one-tenth the
number of the latter and one-hun-
dredth the number of the former in
operation in England. England, how
ever, might claim to rank foremost in
the application of electrical illumina-
ton to passenger ships and war ships.
With reference to the progress of tele-
phonic communication he pointed out
that the number of instruments now
at work throughout the world was es-
timated as considerably exceeding
million.

QUAINT PLUcKY PEOPLE
The oldest. Funniest Country That
the Sun Shines Upon.

The oldest. Funniest Country That
the Sun Shines Upon.
Far over the sea is a famous little
country generally known as Holland:
but that name, even if it mean Hollow
land, or How land? does not describe
it half so well as this-The Funny
Land of Pluck.
Verify, a queerer bit of earth was
never shown upon by the sun nor
washed by the tide. 1t is the oldest,
funniest country that ever raised it's
head from the waves land, between
ourselves, it does not quite do that,)
the most topsy turvy landscape, the
most amphibious spot in the universe
as the Man in the Moon can't DENY
the chosen butt of the elements, and
good-naturedly the laughing stock of
mankind. It's people are the queerest
and drollest OF all the nations; and
yet 50 plucky, so wise and resolute
and strong, that "beating the Dutch"
has become by-word for expressing
the limits of mortal performance.
AS for the country, for centuries it
was not exactly anywhere; at least it
objected to staying long just the same
in any one place. It may be said to
have lain around loose on the waters
of a certain portion of Europe, play
ingpeek-a-boo with it's inhabitants;
now coming to the surface here and
there to attend to matters, then tax
ing a dive for change of scene O.
most disastrous dive it often proved.
Rip Van Wrinkle himself changed less
between his great sleeping and waking
than Holland has altered many a
time, between sunset and dawn. All
it's permanenceiand resoluteness seems
to have been soaked out oft, or rath-
er to have filtered from the land into
the people.
Every field hesitates whether to turn
into a pond or not, and the ponds are
always trying to leave the country by
the shortest cut. One would suppose
that under this condition Of
things the only untroubled
creatures would be turtles and
ducks; but no, strangest and most
mysterious of all, every living thing in
Holland appears to be thoroughly
placid and content. The Dutch mind,
so to speak, is at once anti-dry and
waterproof. Little children run about
in fields where once their grandfathers
sailed over the pillows, and youths
and maidens row their pleasure boats
where their ancestors played "tag"
among the haystacks. When the tide
sweeps unceremoniously over Myn-
neer's garden, he lights his pipe, takes
his fishing rod, and sits down on his
back porch to try his luck. If his pet
pond breaks loose and slips away, he
whistles, puts up dam so that it can
not come back, and decides what crop
shall be raised in it's vacant place.
None but the Dutch could live so tran
gully in Holland; though, for that
matter, if it had not been for the
Dutch, we may be sure there would
have been no Holland at all. Andyet
this very Holland, besides holding it's
own place, has managed to gain a
foothold in almost every quarter Of
the globe. An account of it's colonies
is a history in itself In the East In
dies alone it commands twenty-four
millions of persons.-Mary Mapes
Dodge in St Nicholas.

Wolves and Dogs.

Whether there may or may not be
ground for the opinion held by some
that all dogs are descended from the
primeval wolves, their near kinship is
proven by the fact that hybrid Off
spring are by no means uncommon,

ed, inhefiting more OF the wolf than

Not an Isolated Case.

"Why can't you always be cheerful?"
said the editor to the humorist. "You
are making money, have plenty Of
friends, good home. You ought to be
happy all the time, but you're away
down one minute and the next minute
away up again. There isn't another
person like you in the whole estab-
lishment."
"You forget the elevator boy" said
the humorist, and then sighed and
walked languidly into the other room.

A Phenomenon.

An itinerant lecturer, holding forth
in a remote Scotch village, happened
to make use of the word "phenome-
non." Fancying, however, that the
education of his hearers was not like
ly to have been such as to make them
equal to "hard words" he proceeded
to enlighten their understandings in
the following style: "But, maybe, ma
freen's We dinna ken what q phenome-
non may be. Weel, then, all tell We.

Cupid flap his wings. The POINTS of

much and at last they found a coy
nook behind in a corner where the

they were safe from even the stare of
the stairway's marble eyes.

Special Correspondence to TELsoRAx-HkRALp:
ANN ARBoR, Mich, Jan. 9.-Prof.
Abel, of the University, has just re-
turned from Berlin, where he has been
studying Koch's methods for the cure
of tubercular diseases, He states that.
although it Is little early, as yet, to
make any positive assertions in regard
to the permanency of the cure, Koch has
certainly done some wonderful work.
OF all the patients that have been dis.
missed from the hospitals in Berlin. not
one of them has returned for further
treatment.
At the time Prof. Abel was in Berlin,
there were over 600 foreign physicians
IN the city for the purpose Of studying
the treatment. which consists of hypo-
dermic injections of Koch's lymph into
the shoulder. In cases where there are
lupus growths, the injection is followed
in few minutes by nausea, vomiting,
high fever, and often coma, lasting for
many hours.
The change in the Lupus ulcer is very
rapid; after twelve or sixteen hours il
has the appearance of healthy granu.
latlng sore and il soon heals. Close
observers say that there are small
nodules of the lupus left, which in
time will grow, but this remains to be
proven. Laryngeal ulcers of phthisls
have also rapidly disappeared under
this treatment. One case of Phthisis of
the hip joint has entirely recovered

miscroscopical examination that the
number of the bacilli in the sputa is

THE SUPERIOR COURT.

The Filing Of . Bili of Divorce that IL
Likely to ccmpiicate Matters.
The superior court room continues
empty ard silent in the continued Ill
ness of Judge Burlingame. Reports
from the sick room yesterday were
more encouraging.
A divorce suit was begun yesterday
by Rebecca Walters against her hus-
hand, John Walters. The grounds of
she application were not revealed, but
they may be inferred from the records
of another court. On December Is,
1880, John Walters was araigned
in police court, charged with fail
ure to support his family. It has since
taken the usual course of adjourn
ment from time to time to see if the
man could not be induced, under the
stress OF law, to swing around and do
his duty. So Walters was adjourned
to. the 10Th, 22d, 9th, January 6, and
his next appearance will be next Tues
day at 10 o'clock. The records of the
superior court show that John now has
double-header to look after, and it
Will be interesting to note what the
police court will do with its prisoner
under the changed conditions of things.
