Wash Fruit Before Eating It.

The following curious instance is re-
ported by M. Schnirer of the ease with
which consumption germs may be dis
seminated. While at work one day in
the laboratory Of Weichselbaum, he
sent for some grapes to eat. The fruit
had been kept for some time in basket
outside the lavatory and was covered
with dust, so that the water in which it
was washed was black. On examining
it he reflected that, inasmuch as the
neighboring street was traversed by con-
sumptive patients going to the clinic,
the dust probably was charged with
tubercle bacilli. To settle this, M.
Schnirer injected into three guinea pigs
ten cubic centimsfers of water in which
the grapes had been washed. One ami
NAL died in two days from peritonitis,
the two others died on the forty-eighth
and fifty-eighth days, respectively, pre-
senting marked tuberculous LESSONS,
especially at the place of injection.
The water in which the grapes had
been washed was taken from the faucet,
and the glass containing it had been
sterilized; neither the boy who had
bought the grapes, nor the merchant
who had sold them, was consumptive.
The cause of the infection was, beyond
doubt, the dust on the grapes. This ex-
pertinent illustrates the danger arising
from the dissemination of desiccated
tnberculous sputa in the air.-Halrs

wnshincton.s First Love Afra,r.

George Fairfax was the companion Of
Washington on his surveying tour for
Lord Fairfax. Washington first met
Mrs. Fairfax at Belvoir, near Mount
Vernon, when she was brought home as
the bride of George William Fairfax.
Miss Mary Gary accompanied her sister
Sarah to Belvoir, and there met George
Washington. She was then but four
teen years of age. Washington was
only sixteen. He had never visited the
low country near Williamsburg prior to
this, and therefore could not have met
Sarah Cary until her marriage. 1t is
said that he fell in love at sight with
Mary Cary, and went so far on his first
visit to Williamsburg as to ask Colonel
Cary for the hand of his daughter.
The big rawboned lad found scant
favor in the eyes Of the patrician planter
He was dismissed in terms 80 curt that
we must bear in mind paternal pride
and other extenuating circumstances if
we would keep intact our idea of fine
old Virginia gentleman.
eff that is your business here, sir, l
wish you to leave the housed My daugh-
ter''-the swelling emphasis rumbles
down the corridor of years-"has been
accustomed to ride in her own coach"
Tradition asserts that the chagrined
suitor took the choleric parent at his
word, and that the next time he looked
upon the face Of his early love was when
he passed through Williamsburg on his
return from Yorktown after the surren-
der of Cornwallis. s.-Marion Harland in
Harper's Weekly.

A Sort of Digital Dcpression.

Did you ever notice when man
smites his thumb with hammer while
putting down "a carpet under wifely
supervision and criticism how quickly
he thrusts the bruised and throbbing
member into his ready mouth? People
think it is because the application is
soothing. But no: it is an involuntary
movement, same as winking. The man
cannot help it. Nature knows what the
man would be apt to say under the cir
cumstances, and so she has provided
him with stopper and has ordained
that whenever he hits his thumb hard
enough to hurt-and it doesn't take very
much to nearly kill a man when he is
doing something he doesn't want TOBY
a sort of interlocking system the thumb
flies into his mouth and stops him up, so
that he can't say anything. Some men
whom you and l know should be'pro-
vided with an extra thumb which they
might carry about in their hand all the
time it wasn't in active use. 1t would
be~a great thing, wouldn't it?-Robert
j. Rurdette in Ladies Home journal.

An Anecdote of yashincton.

1t was while plunging through the
~leaden rain and iron hail" at the battle
of Monmouth that Washington's horse
was shot under him. The chief coolly
stepped from the prostrate charger, and
having received from the hands of an
attendant orderly fresh horse, ready
caparisoned, he turned to the sable body
servant who followed him close through
all dangers, and without the presence Of
whose ebon' visage a picture of Wash
ington and his family would not be
complete, and quietly said
"Here, Billy, take the saddle from
that dead horse and look out for it. +"
And then he dashed away to direct the
planting of Oswald's battery.
"Golly? exclaimed old Billy, as he
related the incident to one of the family
on his return home. "who ebber did sec
such manas Mas'r Washington? Who'd

the alsrmingly increasing expenditures
OF congress-, many of them being with
out warrant of law, and more Of them
being in defiance of justice. One objec-
ton urged against an income tax is be-
cause it is inquisitorial. Is it any more
Iinquisitorial than tariff tax? Is it any
worse, in order to ascertain whether he
has defrauded the government, to ex-
anime mans books, than it is, in order
to ascertain whether or not she is snug
Cling, to examine woman's hustle?
Another objection urged is the difficulty
Of its enforcement. Some ten years ago
i heard grave senator affirm on the
floor of the Oregon state senate, in dis
cussing some provisions of an assess
ment law then pending, that there was
no use In trying to tax the rich, as they
could and would evade its payment.
This is quite common assertion, and
many facts in its affirmation can
be adduced from our present mode
of state taxation, while the con-
tinued neglect of congress to tax wealth
appears to give it the most COM
plete confirmation. Let this be conceded
as fact, and then it must be acknowl-
edged that governments need no longer
exist. One of the great objects for
which they were instituted was the pro-
lection of the weak against the strong,
the poor against the rich. If under any
government taxes are unduly imposed
upon the poor, the great purpose for
which 1t was created has failed and it
ought to be abolished. But that doc
trine must never be conceded. Our
government is strong enough to pass
just laws and to fully execute them.
Over twenty-four centuries ago, the Ro-
man government under Servius Tullius
changed the system of taxation from a
per capita tax which had been imposed
for more than two hundred years to one
rated according to the measure of
mans wealth. During the early days of
that government when each man had
his four acres of ground, wealth was
quite equally distributed and per cap
ita tax was fair. When wealth became
uaequally distributed such tax be-
came quite unjust and a high sense of
Roman virtue demanded change.
Should not Americans be as just as Ro-
mans The tariff tax is in its very ma
ture per capita tax, and wealth has
become quite unequally distributed.
The time has fully ccme for a more
equitable system Of taxation for the
great bulk Of the national revenue, and
let us practice the Roman virtue OF
changing our system in order to meet
the demands of justice.
