country for the purpose of denoun-

They do not eonfne themselves to
expressions of sympathy but call
loudly for King Hubert to send
iron clads to the mouth of the Mis-.
sissippi. They do not ask reprea-
ton of the authorities at New
Orleans, all of which shows that
though claiming protection under
our flag they would be glad to see it
trampled upon as it was at New
Orleans. Foreigners that come to

RATS IN MODERN MEDICINE.

A late experimenter in DR.. Kocd's
laboratory-Mr. E. II. Rankin, of
Cambridge, Eng.-has reported an
interesting discovery. A long study
of anthrax suggested Investigations
which resulted in bringing to light
a protective proteid" in the bodies
of rats-which enjoy a remarkable
immunity from many infections
diseases-and this, cultivated in the
usual way, proves to be a remedy
for anthrax, and may also be effective
for diptheria.

SCIENCE AND BUSINESS.

The loss to England of the great
coal-tar industry, which in its early
stages was particularly her own, is
attributed to the more thorough
and systematic scientific study of
the Germans and French. Sir F.
Abel states that Germany has great
works where chemical research is
carried on as an elaborate business,
and is pursued by men who have &C.
quired university degrees and dis
tinction, one establishment alone
having 40 trained chemits at work
on the particular branch of research
in which it is interested.
There are now 1904 compound To-
comotives at work or building 532

and s in North America.

Hogan,s Wonderful Dog.

II s'pose my father has got the smarUest dog
in the country" said John Hogan, the news
agent to the Corning EUenin0 Chronicle, in the
Erie depot. The dog is a water spaniel, and
there's a good many men who don't know half
as much as he does. One thing he has learned
do is buying the meat for the family He'll
take a quarter iu his mouth and 60 down to
the meat shop and get a pound of shoulder
steak. give up the quarter, but wait till he gets
10 cents change.
But why don't your father give him Just the
10 cents, so he won't have to bother with wait
ing for changer interrupted the EUeHtny
We'll, my father did that once" said Hogan,
and the dog dropped nickel out of his mouth,
and he would never go to the meat shop again
with more than one piece of money, SO they
nave to let HIM take a quarter.
One day the meat market man tried to put
of on the dog ten-cent piece with hole in it,
but the cute Old fellow spit 1t out on the floor,
and wouldn't stir a step till he got good dime.
They used to try all sorts of ways to fool him,
but finally the market man thought he'd try
him on the short change racket, ana one day
give him nickel instead of dime. They had
been fooling With the dog so much that he had
lost all patience, and so when he found that
they were trying to beat him out of five cents
what do you suppose he did,
Took the butcher by the neck, | s'pose, -
said the reporter.
Nav" exclaimed Hogan. He amt none of
your common biting dogs What he did was
this He walked right out of the shop, stopped
policeman on the street, took him by the coat
and led him into the shop, right ght up to
Inc man who had tried to cheat him out of his
right change as much as to saw, Here, | want
you to arrest this fellow The butcher under
stood what he meant in a second. and gave the
dog his right change. and the smart old chap
marched home with his meat and his dime with
an air that said as plain as words that you
couldn't fool him. There amt anything can
beat that dog"

Very Quiet Young Man.

Sanftherz was a student OF one of our leading
colleges and boarded during the term and in
the vacation with a widow to whom he had been
recommended on his first arrival. says the
Philadelphia Times. He was the only boarder,
and his landiady aud her daughter, who did
the general homework, looked upon him as the
center and pa agon of all the virtues In fact.
Il was subject OF comment between mother
and daughter that they would take his weekly
pay with a better heart if Sanftherz only gave
them little mere trouble
Such being his disposition, it was matter of
some surprise when he cane to the TOP of his
landing one morning and called softly down
stairs.
Mrs. Bengel Miss Mary, please"
The latter heard his voice. and, going up in a
hutter of establishment, saw him standing at
his room door.
I'm very sorry for troubling you, Miss
Mary, but won't you kindly bring me glass Of
waterY'
of course, Mr.. Sanftherz, with the greatest
pleasure"
Down she went and returned with the desired

chamber. But scarcely had the grl reached
the lower floor when he again called TO her, and
requested, with a confused blush at the incon-
venience he was causing, that she bring him
another glass Of water
This was likewise brought up and the previous
thanksgiving repeated. On this occasion, how
ever, she had hardly moved from the spot
when he once more came out and repeated his
lOFuueT request
All wonderment, she once more filed the
glass: but as he instantly reaDpeared after
JaRingit into the room and begged her to hll
1t up again, she couldn't contain herself
and had to inquire the object of so much
water,
The red flush of painful embarrassment
rushed over his face and brow. That he should
trouble anyone SO much that they must bother
themselves this way about him drove the steel
of anguish TO his gentle soul. But his very
meekness of spirit forced him to answer, pain
full as it was:
