A Sebec young man has demonstrated
what pluck and persistent work can do.
On one of the streets of that village
stands a good sized dwelling house, with
L, shed and stable. The house is two
stories, and the set of buildings is really
nice in design and finish-one of the
best in that place. This fact is remark
able, because it is all the work of boy
NOW twenty years old), who has had no
means to start with. He has performed
nearly all the labor with his own hands
in spare time. When his money for
material ran short, he would work out
and earn more, thus not running in debt
for anything. He is unmarried, but the
little wife, when he gets her, will have
a home that ought TO be famous as a
monument of her young husbands fore

1t is asserted that the efforts toabolisl
infectious diseases. such as scarlet fevei
and diphtheria, are frustrated by the
burial of infected bodies. for though the
microbes themselves may die THEN
spores, or seeds, have very great vitality
Pasteur's researches have proved that
earthworms bring up 20 the surface
microbes from the bodies Of infected
animals buried several feet deep Oar
win showed in one case that in fifteen
years they had accumulated worm mold
over three inches in depth, and in an.
other case during eighty years had ac-
cumulated an average depth of more
than foot.
In field in the Jura, where a diseased
COW had been buried al depth of nearly
seven feet, Pasteur found that the mold
which he collected two years later con.
tanned germs which ON being inoculatel
into guinea pig produced death from
the same disorder Of which the cow died.

Lightning works chemically as well
as mechanically. 1t has the power Of
developing a peculiar odor, which has
been valiously compared to that of phos-
phorus, nitrous gas and most frequently
burning sulphur. Wafer mentions n
storm on the Isthmus of Darieu which
diffused such sulphurous stencil
through the atmosphere that he and his
marauding companions could scarcely
draw their breath, particularly when
they plunged into the wood. The Brit
ish ship Montague was once struck by
globular lightning, which left such a
satanic SAVIOR behind it that the vessel
seemed nothing but sulphur, and every
man was suifocating.
About year ago the newspapers re-
corded similar experience of the'crew
of another English ship while crossing
the north Pacific from China to the
States. In this case the crew had to
take to the rigging to prevent being
choked by the sulphur fumes.-Chain-

While attached to military expe

a shelter, OF tepee as they called it
made with the green boughs cut from
the cottonwood trees. Without any
especial preparation Of the ground, they
implanted the cut ends of the limbs il
two parallel rows about eight feet long
and five feet apart. The tops were
adroitly bent over the inclosed space and
fastened together along the middle line
thus creating a semicylindrical shelter
open at both ends. These tepees were
merely intended for two or three men tC

rangements being performed outside -

Better Than Carriare.
The ambulance service Of New York
city is probably the most complete in
the world. Few people reflect rs to the
scope of its humane work when the
noisy gong Of the familiar hospital
wagon warns every one to clear the
track" 1t is a nuisance to drivers and
promenaders
It would seem that the ambulance
service, perfect as IL is. is appreciated
less by the public than almost any other
beneficial institution which is supported
10y the city.
The annual cost Of a single ambulance
is estimated at 1920, There are twenty
six of them in daily service now. This
involves an expenditure of $33. .Q30 year.
Incidental expenses are not included in
these figures, which only defray the cost
of the conveyance the hurses feed and
drivers salary.
The number of ambulance calls re-
Bponded to in one month was 4T9. All
of these sick people were comfortably
and speedily carried to various hospitals
and doctored free Of charge. In the
same month there were ffty-four "hurry
calls. These were in cases of emer-
gency, such as fire. poisoning, apoplexy,
alcoholism, etc.
The ambulance subject is usually a
person in poor circumstances One
rarely sees well dressed occupant
being carried TO hospitals by ambulance.
1t is strange that lack of confidence
should be placed in such a perfect serv-
ice as the city supports. And yet many
people suddenly stricken i'll betray a
dread and distrust Of the ambulance.
There is no doubt that lives are lost by
this foolish apprehension. All that sci
ence and advanced invention can do in
the way OF easy and speedy transporta-
ton, accompanied by the best Of medical
treatment, is given to the poor and de-
pendent part Of the population.
