German
Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys
lcians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead Of being in the con
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacil1i, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, 1oosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. o

Snakes and Rabbits in Australia.

A good deal of attention has been be-
slowed upon the subject of rabbit de-
struction, and some astounding pro
posals and suggestions have been re-
ceived from various parts of the world
The last suggestion, which is from south
Australia, is that number of carpet
snakes should be let loose among the
rabbits, which would, it is asserted, be
speedily eaten up by the reptiles. The
correspondent also furnishes some re-
markable data regarding the feeding
capacity Of carpet snakes. When from
five to six feet long they are, he says,
able to eat two or three rabbits at a
meal; but when they are fifteen or six
teen feet long they are able to eat six
rabbits.
Anticipating inquiry as to what would
happen If the snakes became more
numerous than rabbits, he proposes that
carpet snakes of one kind only should
be used, and after eating all the rabbits
the snakes would then proceed to eat
each other. London Public Opinion.

George Bidwell's Granddaughter.

George Bidwell, the ticket-of-leave
man, who served fifteen years in Dart
moor for robbing the Bank of England,
is more talked about at the Palace than
any one else who stops there. Every
evening he and his brother Austin,
who was within the walls of Chatham
nineteen years for completely in the
same robbery, may be seen about the
rotunda. To Justice q. A. Low and sev-
eral others last night, while allnding
to his strangely checkered and stormy
life, he told story. 1t had reference
in part to Puritan ancestorship.
"It is touching story" he said ~
don't often tell it. My little grand
daughter-lve got three very pref; -
tie grandchildren-one day came IT, e
and climbed up on my knee, and looked
into my face and said;
Grandpa, did you teal great hig
bag of goldY
"She had been taught, you see, that II
was wrong TO steal anything. Somebody
had told her, don't know who" added
the ticket-of-leave man, his eyes per-
ceptibly suffused and his voice Just Il
trifle broken. San Francisco Examiner

There is Il newspaper dealer under an
up town elevated station who is going to
get on" in his business. He accommo-
dates his customers. His latest agree
able act is to purchase yard and more
of tickets for the elevated railroad and
have them ready to hand with his paper
to regular customers or chance patrons
bound for down town. The hurrying
pedestrian who doesn't buy papers is
also accommodated by this thoughtful
dealer in news.
Any one who has stood at a ticket
window fumbling for nickel in vest
pocket or ungetatable pocket in back
draperies, conscious that crowd is be-
hind him impatient to get on the train
that is just speeding away from him,
will appreciate the effort of the observ-
ing newsdealer to make life less bother
some for his fellow men on the highway

But Passengers Grew Frightened and
Looked for Terrible Fight.
There is staid solennity about the
average railroad conductor that il
simply awe inspiring. He passes through
the car in his monotonous round Of
punching and collecting tickets. with
sort Of subdued. mournful air, as If
there was nothing in life for him but
punching and collecting tickets. "Your
tickets. please" he says i'm tone of per
suasive blandness. He never smiles; he
never jokes; he punches the tickets
proffered him in a sadly perfunctory
way, This is when ne is on duty.
The other day struck upon conduc-
tor of New Jersey Central train when
of duty. He was different man. He
was dressed differently, having doffed
his regulation blue and brass buttoned
uniform. ! soon found that this fellow
was full of fun way down to the bottom
Of bis boots, and that the conductor of
the train on duty had likewise vein of
hunor az rich and fertile, though care
fully concealed.
"Your ticket. please" asked the con-
uuCbDI Vi iDb lIdAu do nG W WutIb
the conductor off duty was seated.
IL have no ticket" was the response.
"Then you will have TO pay your fare"
III will pay you when | get to my
journeys end and not BEFORE" said the
off duty conductor in a tone of irate
firmness Railroad companies have no
business to exact fares in advance. How
do / know whether the train will get
through or not. The train may run off
the track and we may all be smashed to
pieces, and then I'd be out my fare. No.
sir, have made up my mind that from
this day on, and have to ride great
deal on the cars, that | shall never buy
a railroad ticket and never pay my fare
before get to the end Of my journey
IL am not here to be trihed with" re-
torted the conductor, with an air of in
tense savage gravity. "How far are you

pay your fare"
IL have told you what | will do.
won't pay you before get to my stop
ping place"
"Then shall put you off the train"
81 dare you to do it. | only hope you
will. for then the company will have to
pay me money enough to make me in
dependent for life."
"Wait till | get through punching
tickets and I'll bounce you off this train
so quick you'll think you have been
struck by lightning"
"Do it if you dare. Do it now: don't
wait on my account; don't wait for any
thing"
The two talked SO loud and appeared
to be so angry that the attention of all
the passengers in the car was directed
to them. They seemed as mad as two
wet hens, that popular formulated
climax of indignation. 1t was the cause
of some fright to the passengers, but
then those two conductors were having
big lot of fun all to themselves and
they kept it up with increasing vehe-
mence at intervals to the end of the
route.-New York Herald.

Good Deer Hunting in Maine This Year.

HOOd Deer Hunting IN Maine THIS Year.
Deer are now plentier in our settle
ments than they have been for a long
time at this season of the year. Deer
can't be any otherwise than plenty this
coming season, as | can't remember
when there ever was as many deer in
Maine as there will be this coming sea-
son, although in some particular locah-
ties deer are not as plenty as they have
been some other years, This is due to
being too much hunted and leaving deer
in the woods to die after being wounded
In the Nicatous region both game and
fish are particularly plenty this year
