After the third inning Lexington played
a great uphill game, and won in the
ninth OH two singles and II home run by
Meet, aided by a passed ball and Il wild

Richmond had n unner on second and
third and no outs in the last OF the ninth,

his namo on an cminonco with those of
Pasteur. Lister and DR.. Bigclow, of
Boston.
His grateful country presented him
with 100000 marks, about $4,000. and
soon aftor placed him at the head of tho
Berlin Institute of Hygiene. One of
'Dr- horhs practical services in this ca
lp"city was TO organize in tho capital u
so-calied hygicnic museum on principles
that would have delighted good old
Benjamin Franklin. Hero are gathered
together I'LL tho useful appliances that
'conduco TO health-models of sowors:
methods OF vcntilating houses, particI-
Larry schools and hospitals; plans of dis
posing of city sewage by spreading it
upon arabic land; the host patterns of

woollen cloth which many of the Ger
man troops fold about their foct instead
OF stockings. Hours can DO spent in DE-
koch's museum, learning at every stem
tho means of living better as we'll as

that Germans arc no less practical than

Bismarck is quoted by his Boswell
Busch as saying; "But for mo three great
wars would have not boon fought. sc. 600
mon would have not been killed, or their
parents, brothers, sisters and widows
>have put on mourning, and yet that is
what have done, with Gods help" If

lifetime, but 500 600 perhaps every year!
The Importance Of DR.. Koch's discoy-
cries to his counirymen alone may DO
measured by recalling that in forty
years Prussia alono lost 3I3, 953 lives by
cholera. Tho average number Of deaths
by consumption every year in Prussia
represents 91,350. In tue German EN-
Dirc tho average number OF deaths ovory
gear from Tuberculosis of tho lungs
Is 100000 people. In Berlin, during tho
ten years from 1878 TO 1887, there died
from consumption alone 39,S32 people,
Berlin and New York being about equal
An population. These figures arc clo-
quent testimony to tho Importance of
Dr. Koch's discovery. particularly SO as
the ravagcs Of this disease arc in MANY
othor countries creator still than in
Germany.
