Koch's First Step Toward Fame.

Tue first step of DR.. Robert Koch in-
to the light of publicity took place in
the laboratory of the bacteriologist,
Privy Councillor Cohn, who an
nounced one day years ago to the stu
dents under his supervision that on the
next morning IA young fellow from
Posen would be on hand TO show some
preparations. What the young fell

had forgotten. OF his preparations he
was equally ignorant.
At the appointed Lour the students
had assembled aud were trying vainly
10 learn Just how little tho coming
man knew of baeterio,ogy. The door
opened, and little man in simple
black garments slipped in. He had
great. unsophisticated blue eyes, such
rs only German men have. big. clear
forehead, aud small. stiff moustache.
The students smiled rs he bowed deep
ly and introduced himself as Robert
Koch. He addressed his simple COM
plimcnts to the mighty Herr Gehein-
rath." and then opened the boxes he
hasl broaght under his arm.
Every one ceased smiling rs he laid
out his wonderful little glass slides.

joylessly poor. according to the views
OF most men. although he had found

Ellen Terry's Childhood.

When Ellen Terry was a little girl
about IL years of age, says the London
Tib-Bits, she belonged to Mrs. Charles
Kean's company at the Princess. She
was one evening acting Puck" in the
Midsummer Nights Dream" and had
to come up through the stage floor on
a trap-door, standing on a mushroom.
The trap-door was shut too soon. and
one of her feet was caught. She
screamed with pain. and her sister
Kate, then acting Titania. ran TO her
and threw her arms round her. Still
the child continued to scream, and
Mrs. Charles Kean, seeing what was
wrong, came on the stage and struck
with her heel for the trap-door TO be
opened. The man naturally mistook
the signal and shut it tighter, and the
child's screams redoubled. Mrs. Kean
whispered to her:
BE brave girl, Nellie. and finish
your part, and you shall play in King
John"
The trap door was by this time
opened, but the little girls toe was
broken. She finished her speech, how
ever, though she tainted when she got
off the stage. Later on she played the
part of Prince Arthur.
Another time, in the same company,
she had to play one Of the angels in
Catherine of Arragon's Vision" TO
give the appearance of distance the
largest angel came first and they
graduated in size until the end, aud
Ellen Terry, being the smallest actress,
was placed at the top Of the row.
Whether the height she was from the
ground made her sick is not known. but
she evinced her feelings in the most
tangible manner, proving most un.
pleasantly to the other angels be-
meath her (who demonstrated with hcT
afterward) that however spiritual her
appearance might bc she was subject
as any mortal to the ills that flesh il
heir to.

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on call in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
IS this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist so cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better
