A Cure for Lockjaw.

Two Italian savants, Professors
Tizzoni and Cattani, have recently
isolated germs of lockjaw and have
not only rendered guineapigs and
rabbits immune from the disease
by injecting a poison derived from
them, but have cured six human
beings attacked by the complaint by
means of inoculation. AS is we'll
known, lockjaw has hitherto been
considered almost inevitably fatal.
The germs of the disease seem to
be found in the surface soil, so that
immense numbers of them may
exist in anybody's garden. Rats
can be given lockjaw by simply
mixing little garden earth with
their food. That is the reason why
q wound from q rusty nail is apt.
to communicate the trouble. It is
not the rust that is responsible, as
is commonly thought, but a rusty
nail is a dirty one, and presumably
has been lying on the ground. It
has .lockjaw germs on it, and they
inoculate the victim. The disease
is one of the nervous system.-Ex.

The Silver Dollar I'm. !"

There is a popular idea prevalent
that the minute letter IN" to be
seen at the base of the head of Lib
erty on the face Of the present issue

ness of the coin bearing it. This
is mistake. The IN" stands for

the originator of the design. Upon
the same side there is another m .

This is to be found in the waving
looks Of the fair goddess, and is SO
cleverly concealed in the lines ol

after a long scrutiny. A prominent

Rlen GOLD FIELDS.
Nuggets Found Weighing Over
Four Hundred Ounces.

Mr.. Brown, an old South Ameri.
can miner, was exhibiting some fine
large nuggets of gold at the Spo.
kane Hotel to-day, one of which
contained over $4OO in gold. Nat
urally enough the conversation
drifted to the gold fields where they
were found.
Mr.. Brown tells many interesting
stories and incidents connected with
his mining life in that country.
The placer mine which he owns is
located near Surinam, in Dutch
Guinea, about ten miles from the
coast. Although this claim is not
as rich as many others there Mr..
Brown took out about half q ton
OF pure gold. He says he has seen
nuggets that would weigh 400 oun-
ces, which equals about 5000 coined
dollars.
"It is the richest gold field in
the world" said he, "but it takes
capital to prospectit. No one should
attempt to go there without at least
$1,000 capital and a whole lot of ex-
perience. / spent about SIS, 900 in

to employ the natives to carry your

you have to work your way very
slowly. The country is very warm,

equator, and the earth is very damp,
so you are compelled to carry a

The Owner Turns Up.

"Papa, who owns these parks?"
"We do, my son." replied the lit
tie boys father, 1--WE, the people.
As a part of the people, James, we
have a right to consider ourselves
the owners. 1t is q glorious feature
of our form Of government, my
boy" he continued, his eye kind
ling, "that the people are absolute.
All property rights are based on
their consent. All titles thus come
from them and will finally revert
to them. The will of the people is
the supreme law. By the will of
the people this lovely park has been
reserved and set apart forever as a
playground, a breathing place, a
common-our common. Here we
have right to come and rest from
the toll and worry of life. We are

A Reglmental Kitten.

One evening, toward the close of
the war, while Union soldiers lay in
a camp on the hillside near the
Staunton river, Virginia, the cry of
"Halt! Who goes there?" from a
sentinel startled every lounger to
his feet, and several of the more
curious ran to the guard line to find
out what the trouble was. A min
ute later all knew that the night
visitor who had been challenged
was no enemy. A little girl about
10 years of age, holding a white
kitten in her arms, came forward
into the light of the fires, conducted
by two soldiers, who had told the
sentry to pass her in, and who
looked as proud as if they were es-
corting a queen.
The whole regiment gathered, in
Guiding the Colonel himself, to look
at the child and hear her tell her
story. A very short story it was,
scarcely a paragraph, but there was
matter enough in it for full chap
ter. She lived near by with her
father, who was sick and poor, and
they were Northerners, she said,
and Union folks" Her mother
was dead, and her brother had been
killed while fighting in the Federal
army. She wanted to give some
thing" and when the Union soldiers
came she thought she would bring
her pet kitten and present it to the
Colonel.
The Colonel took the little girl in
his arms and kissed her and the
kitten, too, and said he was not a
bit ashamed of his weakness. He
accepted the kitten with thanks, and
it's innocent donor was gallantly
waited on to her humble home.
loaded with generous contributions.
The white kitten was adopted by
the regiment, but considered the
property and special pet Of the Col
onel, and when the war was over ne
took it home with him. Like the
white lamb that staid and fed with
the victors after the battle Of Antie-
tam, that little creature, during its
short but stirring army life, was q
daily inspiration to better feelings
and thoughts in the presence OF all
that is worst-a living flag Of truce

Ho Was one OF Them.

Old Governor Routt of Colorado
has way with him that goes right
to the heart of the Colorado miner.
Just before the sale of public land
in Creede the other day he got up
and, amid wild applause, made the
following speech: ''Boys, I'm no
tenderfoot-I'm one of you. I've
been through the mill and know
all about your desires. You have
come here in good faith to make
this your home. You have squatted
on public land, and you ought to
have it. The statute requires Us to

Take yours back to your cabins.
Now, go on with your bidding, but

Mrs. John j. Ingalls,.

Mrs. Ingalls, is as much unlike
her distinguished husband in ap-
pearance and manner as one can inn
agine. Of medium height, figure
inclined to plumpness, an extremely
young face, with eyes of changeable
gray, it is difficult to believe that
she has been the mother of eleven
children, seven of whom are living.
The names of these are Ellsworth,
Ethel, Ralph, Constance, Sheffield,
Marion and Muriel. In the train
ing of her sons and daughters she
exercises the greatest care, and it
would be strange indeed if they did
not make her an affectionate return
for her great devotion.
Mrs. Ingalls, is thoroughly domes-
tic, and her life is centered in her
home, husband and children. There
are but few women with such strong
ly developed domestic traits who
are at the same time so thoroughly
interested and informed upon all
current events. The mental and
moral condition of poverty.stricken
districts is a source of much anx-
iety to her. This finds practical
expression in her kind-hearted, ten
der and considerate treatment of
the poor. Many of these come to
her at her home with their troubles
and sorrows, and for them Mrs. In
gals always has ready sympathy
and practical assistance.
Mrs. ingalls, is fond of the thea
ter and of all kinds of literature.
She is also extremely fond of music,
and in her girlhood and until few
years ago had a wonderful voice.
At the ST.. Louis (Missouri) Con-
vent of the Visitation where she
was educated the memory of her
voice still fingers with the old nuns,
and the lullabys she sang to tho
many babies of her household echo
in their ears to this day. While
fond of attending dramatic repre-
sentations Mrs. ingalls, is by no
means an authority upon the thea
ter. During the Ingalls, sojourn in
Washington most of her time was
spent necessarily in entertaining
and being entertained, and but lit
tie opportunity was hers for the
domestic pleasures which are so
much part of her happiness.-Ex.

The land, including all the nat

Evidences Of Spring.

From the warehouses and poor
houses and jails and cheap lodging
houses all over the country there
is now pouring out into the high
ways and byways of the land an
army of those incorrigibly shiftless
vagabonds called tramps. From
November l to April l the tramp
doesn't live, he merely exists. He
breads the winter, for the coming
of cold weather frequently necessi-
tates work on his part; and it is
we'll determined fact that all tramps
have a constitutional aversion to
every form of labor known to the
sons of men. But when the sharply
defined issue as presented for his
consideration is work or freeze, the
tramp humbleth himself and tolls
to the end that he may not perish
from the face of the earth.
Although the iron enters his soul
at such times, and he longs for q
lodge in some vast wilderness where
all forms of effort are unknown, he
is obliged to accept the inevitable
and do his appointed task. When
springtime comes, though, he bursts
asunder the hated letters that have
held him down to work all winter
and away he starts for the country
road, where he. the wayside sailor,
is free to roam whithersoever he
listeth.
For months to come he will wan
der heedlessly and without purpose
wherever his vagrant fancy dictates ;
in the heat Of dog days he will re-
cline in shady spots by the side OF
purling brooks; in stormy weather
lie will seek shelter in barns and
haystacks; while other men swelter
| ii the fierce summer heat he will
loll ID sequestered hooks where the
suns rays do not penetrate, and
when il harvest time he is asked
to sslend q hand" he will scornfully
refuse and vow on his tralnpish
honor that be was not made to work.

POPULAR TALKS on LAW.
When il q Contract by Cores
pondence CompleteP

meeting of minds of the parties
thereto. An offer can be revoked
before it's acceptance, but after the
acceptance the offer becomes prom
ise. The time of acceptance of the
offer is the moment of the meeting
of minds. It is not a difficult thing
to determine this moment in the
case of contracts made in the pres
ence of both parties, but the ques-
ton becomes difficult and very
important when the offer and ac-
ceptance are made by letter, tele-
gram, messenger, or otherwise. At
what moment is the contract con-
summated? Is it the moment of
the posting of the answer, or the
receipt of same? Is it the moment
the message is started on its way
or the moment it reaches and is
thus communicated to the offerer.
In general a communication Of an
acceptance is necessary to a FORM
ing of the contract. Is this essen
tial requisite complied with when
the party to whom the offer is made
does all he can do to deliver his ac
ceptance (whether it ever reaches
its destination or not) or must the
acceptance have reached its desti-
nation before it can have the effect
of binding the parties?
It is now decided that the accept
ance is made when the acceptor has
done all that he can to communi-
cate his intention. The moment
then of dispatch of acceptance is
the moment the contract has its be-
ginning and once having dispatched
the acceptance it is irrevocable. 1t
is understood that one making an
offer by letter is making that offer
continuously during every instance
Of the time the letter is travelling,
so that if the letter is delayed in
transit, and on its receipt letter
is at once posted accepting the offer,
the contract is complete, even
though in the mean time the party
offering may have sold the goods
which were the basis of the offer.
Suppose the letter of acceptance be
lost and does not reach the party
offering. Is there a contract? The
logical result of the position that
the contract is made when the ac-
ceptance is posted leads US to infer
that the question demands an affir-
native answer, and such is the law.
The settled rule in our Courts is
that the time of mailing the accept
ance is the time the contract is
complete. and that the subsequent
fate of the letter is immaterial. This
is so on the theory that the post
Office is the agent of the person who
makes an offer by post, and the de-
livery of the letter to the post is
the delivery to the agent of the
person making the offer.
Suppose that a letter revoking
the proposal is mailed before the
acceptance is mailed, this does not
affect the result unless the revoca-
tion is received before the accept
ance is mailed. One in making a
proposal may state il as a condition
to the making Of the contract that
the notice of the accpetance be re-
ceived in order to be binding. Many
other interesting and important
conditions arise, q treatment of
which We postpone until our next.
