Men and Mice.

The spendthrift is species Of the
criminal class. To spend all your
money and then borrow OF others to
spend is kind of stealing. To rob
yourself, waste your time and oppor-
tunities, and make no provision for
sickness and trouble, sure to come to
every one, are features Of character
but little better than safe-cracking
and burglary. No young man in
health has any excuse for restitution,
and it is his duty not only to live
within his income but to save some
thing from it. Money is little "'ore
than the right earned to do m ny
things. Money saved is money ..ed,
but the fool and his money are soon
parted. The young man with his
savings has earned the right to buy
good clothes, to travel, and to pro-
cure such other luxuries as his means
will warrant. This is an age Of COM
petition, an age in which only one
young man in fifty makes success Of
a business in which he embarks, and
he does that by superior fidelity to
every trust and an industry which
scOrns sleep, holidays, and amuse-
ments, and simply because he can
Guido, outwork, outsave, and safely
handle his earnings. The other forty
nine of his fellows lead precarious
existence, and belong to the vast
army Of nonentities who have small
respect at home or anywher Will

comes necessary for the defendants to
prove In order to justify their actions In
the promises is that the disease, actino-
nfycosis, is dangerously infectious or
dangerously contagious malady, and one
great element constituting the danger is
the liability that the meat OF animals
containg the germs of tho disease may
communicate the disease to human be-
ings who eatit.
1t Is also remarked in the Introductory
that In trial Of this kind much testi-
mony as to facts having direct and
important bearing on the question at is
sue that could be introduced in legis-
lative examination or an extra judicial
Investigation was not admissible as evil
deuce in the trial of the cause in ques-
ton; consequently all the facts which
could have been brought to the attention
OF the jury were not permitted to be in
troduced; for instance, a witness for the
plaintiff testified to the thoroughness CT
the meat-inspection system in the abat-
toirs at Berlin and that cattle affected
with actinomycosis are not condemned
for food In Germany.
The defense was not permitted by the
court to show by witnesses brought there
for the purpose that the facts regarding
bAiO ucO VI NdJllt tblCCbtu WIFI
COSTS in Germany for food, are that the
careasses of such cattle are classed as
fourth-class or diseased meat, and are
sold as such to the poorer classes of
people, who cannot afford to pay the
prices charged for healthy meat, and it
could also have been shown that of the
273 recorded cases of this disease in
man about 80 per cent. of these cases
are recorded. in Germany.
The bulletin treats briefly of the ex-
pert witnesses for the plaintiffs as fol-
lows: The plaintiffs called as experts
DR.. Frank 5. Billings, director of the
patho- biological laboratory, Lincoln,
Neb.; DR.. Olof Schwarzkopff, of Mime
sofa; DR.. II. w. Hickman, chief inspec-
tor of the bureau OF animal industry, at
Chicago; DIR. Frank C. Bourschiedt, a
physician and microscopic, at Peoria;
and DR.. A. Vogel, veterinary surgeon
OF Chicago.
On the question Of the disease being
dangerously contagious or infectious
Drs. Billings, Schwarzkopff and Vogel,
for the plaintiffs, expressed their individ-
uaf opinions, under oath, that the dis
ease was not contagious, consequently
not dangerous, but on cross-examination
each admitted that the disease, acti-
nomycosis, is due to germ or parasite,
which had been by various scientists
taken from the pus discharged from one
animal and inoculated into another ami
NAL, and there produced the disease con-
tanning similar germs, and DR.. Schwarz-
kopff admitted that he had, while expert
menting with the disease, inoculated an
animal and produced n tumor containing
the germs actinomyces.
Each of these gentlemen expressed
the opinion that all cattle contract the

financiers have given orders to have
their new dynamite proof safety
boxes provided with baby-proof at

All this trouble has been caused by
the rumor that Mr.. George Gould
might take it into his head to educate

under his front stoop. Mr.. Gould is

millionaires whose hair has become
slightly frosted with experience.

diseased lump, but In every case In the
internal organs had been found the
nodules containing the germs OF the dis
ease, showing that a cure had not been
effected, as supposed; and DIR. Horne
testified that he had never known a case
In thirty years experience that had
been cured. Though the lump had been
removed and the sore healed up, every
case In his experience had developed the
disease anew.
All OF the witnesses for the defense
agreed that actinomycosis Is q danger
ously contagious or dangerously infec-
tious disease In cattle, which has been
demonstrated by the incubation of
cattle by the pus discharge containing
the germs taken from a diseased animal,
and also taken from man; that the fact
OF the inocubility OF the disease deter
mines that IL is contagious disease,
and that disease which can be commu-
nicated from one animal to another by
artificial incubation can also be con-
tracted by natural incubation under
favorable circumstances. Upon this
question Prof. Law testified as follows:
That the disease Is contagious Is self
evident since 1t depends on the plant
ing of the germ In the animal tissues,
affecting, as it SO frequently does, the
region of the face, mouth and tongue;
that the disease Is dangerous is unques-
tionable, as in the absence OF treatment
usually goes on to a fatal issue, by the
interference OF the feeding and mastjca-
ton or by the extension of the malady
TO vital internal organs. The victim OF
actinomycosis of the face, mouth, throat,
windpipe or lungs drops the actinomy-
cotic cells from their raw surfaces or
with the saliva or expectorations. Those
having the growth on the stomach, in
testines or liver drop similar actinomy-
cote cells with the dung, and these get
ting on the food or water are taken in
by other animals and grow on any sus-
ceptible wound or abraded surface on
which they may fall.
Is the flesh of animals afflicted with
actinomycosis fit for human food2 On
this topic there was no difference of
opinion among the experts introduced
by the defense, all Of them unequivo-
cally expressing their. opinion under
oath that the flesh OF any animal affect
ed with this disease is unfit for and dan
gerous for human consumption. They
all testified that the disease had been
found affecting all OF the essential in
ternal organs of the animal as we'll as Of
men, including the lungs and the liver,
the spleen and the intestines; that
wherever the germ actinomyces found
a favorable spot to attach itself .ew
colonies Of the disease would spring up,
producing new tumors and OSCILLATIONS;
that while it is possible for the germ to
be taken into the alimentary canal, in
testines, and stomach through the food
eaten, and into the lungs through the
inspiration of the air, it Is impossible for
the germs to reach the liver and spleen
except through the circulation of the
blood; hence, IL it can reach the liver
and spleen through the circulation Of
the blood, it may reach amy portion Of
the animal anatomy; consequently, they
considered that when the animal was
affected, it being impossible to tell to

WE are not SO sure about the cor
rectness Of the code OF ethics which
forbids lawyers and doctors to solicit
business or to advertise themselves as
specially well qualified to handle a
certain class OF cases. If a man in
tends to build house and lets it be
known, contractors and builders can
call on him by the score and solicit
the job and nothing is thought of it.
And yet "they are all honorable men. I"
Merchants are, as class, men Of
brains and intelligence and stand
about as well in the community as do
their fellows who practice law and
medicine. Imagine, if you can, the
absurdity Of merchants having a code
Of ethics which forbade them to insert
anything in the newspapers save the
simple announcement Of name and
place of business. At this point, too,
it might be well enough to pause and
reflect on the effect such code would
have upon the newspapers themselves.
The builder who seeks the job of
building your house points with pride
to such and such edifices as samples of
his handiwork. They stand as eloquent
witnesses to his assertions that he is
skilled and capable workman. Doc
tors and lawyers, however, cannot do
this, at least not openly, and il done
at all subjects them to professional
shame and disgrace. Seriously, we
have no sort OF sympathy with char
latans, quacks and pretenders in any
of the caIlings of life; but e'fail to
see wherein there is anything inner
emily wrong in either doctors or law
pers advertising in modest, sensible
way, nor in their soliciting patronage
in the same manner. The mere an
tiquity of a custom more often COM
mands our respect and fealty than on
account of any inherent merit. the
custom itself may possess.

The step taken in Washington by,
Mr.. Richard Mansfield, the actor, in
ordering his manager hereafter to
discontinue the use of lthograph and
printing displays in windows or on
walls and billboards, and to confine
his advertising exclusively to the
newspapers, is as novel as it is rad-
cal. The amount OF money annually
expended for costly printing for open
air and window displays of theaters
is enormous. The expense has been
growing steadily greater as designs
have become more elaborate and con-
sequently more costly. 1t has be-
come so great, indeed, that no COM
mensurate return is experienced from
it, and managers andsstars have long
been talking about cutting ii off.
Mr.. Mansfield is the first TO take a
positive stand in the matter, and his
reason for his action is summed up in
this one caustic sentence: "A man
who does not read the newspapers
never attends the theatcr."

A Sun Clock.

A Brussels clockmaker has invent
ed a clock which is wound up by the
sun, and requires no other attention
than being placed near a window into
which the sun shines. Asshaft ex-
posed to the solar rays causes an up
draft OF air which sets the fan in mo-
ton. The fan actuates mechanism
which raises the weight of the clock
until ii reaches the top, and then
puts a brake .on the fan till the
weight has gone down little, when
the fan is again liberated aud pro-
ceeds TO act as before. AS long as the
sun shines frequently enough, and
the machinery does not wear out, the
clock will keep going. In London, at
any rate, a time-keeper which only
worked when the sun shone would be
generally idle.-Great Divide.

Inn is WRONG to nnt the donph FOR

1T is wrong to put the dough for
bread in hot oven. The oven should
only be slightly warm, and then
heated gradually. This plan has
been tested by a London baker, who
asserts that the intense heat, sud-
denly striking the surface of the
dough, kills the yeast influence, which
should make the bread rise. He tried
an experiment by having the dough
put in the oven OF gas stove,
slightly warmed, and gradually in
creased the heat till it reached the
degree at which bread bakes. The
result was simply wonderful. Bread
baked in this fashion rises to amaz-
ing size, and the bread is of spongy
llghtness.
