No Company Could Make Him Pay for
More than He Sent.
A man rushed into a telegraph
office, seized telegraph blank and a
pen, and by propping himself against
the counter managed to write the
following message:
kate: | won't be home till morn
ing. HARRY"
"What'll that cost?" said the man,
handing the message through the
portfolio to the manipulation Of cleo
tricity.
Let me see; eight words, %
cents"
TWENTY-FIVE cents, eh? How much
for ten wordso"
"The same price; anything not ex-
ceeding twelve will cost you quar-
ter, answers the operator, making a
spring to muZZle an instrument that
was sputtering as if it had delirium

I'm bound to have the worth of
my money out, then, said the man,
bracing himself against the counter
as he traced on a blank this clear
message:
Incsmprehensibility. manufactu-
rers, transcendentalism, Constanti-
nople, concavoconvex, Massachusetts,
assassination, Pennsylvania, rhinoce-
ros, hippopotamus, imperturbability,
philoprogenitiveness.
There, string that on your wire,
and send her." said the man, with a
look of vengeance in his eye.
The operator counted the words,
but volunteered the information that
there was no sense in the message,
and that the dictionary must have
been ransacked for the longest words.

as Necessities of Life

Newspapers as Necessities of Life.
The newspaper has become neces-
sity to Americans, and to be shut out
from a knowledge of what is going
on in the world would be as great a
hardship to them as any other ex-
cept lack of food, clothing, or shell
ter. The life is more than meat, and
the body more than raiment, and the
satisfaction of the mind is as legiti-
mate as the satisfaction of the bodily
wants, and Of a higher order. The
newspaper is the university and the
library of the people, the common
school of manhood. 1t is the great
debating club of politics, the ex-
change of business, the record of
each day of human experience. 1t
is necessary to the proper discharge
of the political duties of the citizen.
But a newspaper, at least good
newspaper, is more than necessity.
It brings into the narrowest life
some sense of the vast life of the
world. 1t is full of tragedy and
comedy. wit and passion, the heroic
and the humble, the crime and the
merriment of nations. 1t is great
realist history. 1t is daily COM
mentary upon human nature.

A CURE FOR soMNAMBULlsM.

After All Other Remedies Had Failed the
Lady Was Sewn Up in Bag.
A young lady at school became a
somnambulist. She rose from bed
and walked in her sleep. [ was taken
into consultation, and suggested va
rious expedients, such as sedatives.
sleeping draughts, and network to
put around the bed at night. All,
however, had been tried in this in
stance, and all in vain. l then
thought for little, and hit upon the
following plan:
I directed her night-dress to be
sewed up at the foot SO that it formed
a large bag, and then | had the
sleeves heightened so much that each
sleeve, after going round the body
reached the front, where it met the
other sleeve, and was securely fas-
tened to it.
The whole dress was loose, but the
long sleeves prevented the hands
from being used to get rid OF the
dress, while, from the end being
sewed up, the feet could not be used
in progression. At the same time
the dress freely permitted the wearer
to roll about from side to side in her
slumber.
Night came, and our charge retired
to bed in her new-fangled night
dress. with which she was amused.
The usual hour for the night walk
came. Her attendants were strictly
enioined not to stir. She raised her
self up as usual in the sitting pos
tnre. then stood upright and COM
menced to walk. The second step
was trip, for the foot behind held
the bottom of the bag in which she
stood. She stumbled, fell forward.

timely. The first man to try vaccl-

that great opposition arose against
him and his methods, SO that ultl-

The Dog Held Fast to the Baske,

The Dog Held Fast to the Basket
A little girl and a big Newfound-
land dog came through Steuben Park
the other day. The little girl was
carrying papa's dinner and the big
dog was caring for both. The little
girl thought she would teach her
companion to be useful, SO as they
entered the park she placed the han
die Of the dinner basket in his
mouth. He trotted along quite
proudly, and when he came to the
sparkling fountain and the cookbook
ing pool beneath it the noble animal
resisted the temptation to drop the
basket for the pleasures the waters.
offered him. He was too true. He'd
take care of that basket if the pool
froze over! Well, he would just wade
through. He'd take the basket with
him where it would be safe. So he
walked carefully through and cooled
papa's dinner in sparkling cool water.
He ducked his head, but he never let
go of that basket committed to his
faithful care. He did not tarry long
either, but came out, shook himself
and the basket dry, and trotted
along feeling better, thank YOU

All experiments on man made in this
direction have SO far proved success
full: Science happily has no martyr
in this cause.
Certain animals cannot contract
certain diseases. They possess a
natural immunity. For instance, it
is impossible to give chicken pneu-
monia, although mouse will readily
take it. Pasteur's first discovery in
this direction was this: He had
found that chickens, which are sus-
ceptible to disease called "chicken-
cholera" and which, without excep-
ton, die if chicken-cholera mi

strength and normal condition he
made second injection with ordi-
nary microbes that had not been in
contact with the air long. He found
the chicken had acquired perfect i'm
munity against the disease, large
quantities of very active microbes
exercising NO effects whatever. Pas
teur at once saw the close analogy
between this case and the case of a
person who after passing through
one attack of scarlet fever is pro-
tected against a second one, and
basing his work on this first funda-
mental observation built up his
whole system. By long contact with
the air the microbes, which had
given immunity to the chicken, had
lost great deal of their virulence.
They had been weakened.
The~next thing to be done was to
weaken the virulence of the different
kinds of microbes, to inject them,
cause a slight affection, and thus
bring about an artificial immunity.
This has been tried for almost every
known disease and in almost every
case with satisfactory results, especi-
