A Clever Schema

A new dodge for robblng po.toflices has
been discovered by lawyers clerk at
Prague. This man invented a bolt which
could be readily fixed 10 "A door. Armed with
one OF these he went 10 the pntoiiice and
managed 10 fix 1t on the door on the outside
without attracting any attention. He then
went inside, picked up a bundle OF registered
letters containing vnluables amounting to
thousands OF forms and ran out OF the door
which he instantly bolted. Necessarily some
little delay took place before those inside
could get the door open, and In the meantime
the thief made good his escape. In the end
however, he was captured and the letters re

PREFERRED TO WEALTH.
Few People so Constituted as to be Sat

Isicd with 1t Alone.
As matter of fact. the chief i'm
preston produced by great wealth,
even in America, is simply curiosity,
not admiration, hardly even envy.
There are many things that people
really value more than wealth at any
timc-perhaps, thinks Harper's Bazar,
valuing wealth only as means for
these things. In youth people prize
amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth
is thrown away recklessly for the
sake OF such ends. After the maturer
tastes are developed, people have no
other aims which it may promote, but
1t is not n substitute for those aims.
The artist loves art, the man of
science loves science, the student
loves study, the inventor loves inven-
tion. the domestic man loves home.
Even the man of action loves action
mainly as thing attractive in itself.
He would readily accept wealth as Il
means of achieving his other purposes.
but he would not sell those purposes
for wealth. The proof of this is that
erishes himself for his own pursuits.
"Beyond very moderate account.
wrote Coleridge. Il regard money as
a real evil" The man of other pur-
suits knows that one cannot possibly
be very rich and carry on those other
pursuits also, go engrossing is the
mere care of property, and so difficult
and absorbing is the wise use of it.
Many n prominent artist or author
has been simply ruined for the pur-
poses for which he was created by
becoming heir to Il large estate; not
that it demoralized him otherwise.
but it left him no time for his natural
work. Volumes have been writtcn
on the suppression of genius through
poverty. but very little has yet been
said on the wrecking of genius
through wealth.

at work later in the oil region near

to Jack about his dreams and warned
him to be careful. The nextday jack
had orders to meet a fast passenger
coming west at Pennsboro. Instead of
pulling up to the east end Of the station
to wait for the westbound to take the

CURIOUS
One OF the Strangest Of Modern Medical
Discoveries.

Among all the painful diseases to
which human flesh is heir the most
agonizing are, without doubt, those
which arise from the formation OF
gravel and stone, the origin and proper
treatment of which have been hereto
fore a matter of mere conjecture. Dur
ing yesterdays sitting of the academy
of sciences a most interesting report
was sent in by DIR. Galippe which
throws considerable light on the sub
ject. This savant has devoted owe
eight a to continuous ~investiga-
tions, the results of which may be
briefly summarized as follows:
All stones found in the human body
contain microbes of a peculiar kind.
These microbes are the authors of that
chemical decomposition which results
in calcareous deposits. Our organs,
even when in a perfectly healthy con-
dition, frequently contain large mum,
bers of such parasites, which, however,
produce no deleterious effects so long
as the humors of the body are in a nor
NAL state; but nee we are attacked by
disease the microbian manifestations,
as he calls them, set to work to pro
duce the deposit which develops into
gravel and stone.
The most curious portion of DIR. Ga
lippe's report is his account of how he
proved his theory by experiment, anC
having set microbes the task of produc
ing little stones had the grim satisfac
ton to see IL successfully accom-
plished. For this purpose he employed
| human saliva, from which, after an ex
| pertinent lasting over five years, he oh
| tanned hundreds of little stones. Thes,
artificial productions are in all re
spects absolutely identical with tn
stones found in various organs OF tn
human obody. The microbes which
produce them can be isolated and cul
tivated. Tuberculous diseases can b
successfully treated by inducing a pro
cess by which the tubercles .becom
hard and ~gravelly. The opinion es
pressed at the sitting of the academ.

and discoveries had thrown a powei
full light upon the origin, prevention
and cure of the most 'agonizing dis
eases known to modern medicine

REQUESTS OF o
Early Encouragement of Learning by Old
Londoners In Their Wills.

Londoners In Their Wills.
About the close Of the fourteenth
century Londoners began to mention
gifts of books in their wills, and Simon
Bristowe, clerk, 1874, leaves his porti-
fory with music lying in quires to the
church of st. Mary Aldermanbury.
John de Remington, rector of st. Dun
STAINS toward the Tower, left a book
of the Epistles to that church, and also
money to buy books. But we find lit
tie encouragement given in these early
times to literature or learning.
Nearly 200 years later, in 1857, Thorn
as Lewen, ironmonger, directs that the
sum of 45 shall be divided between
two poor scholars, one to be of Oxford
and the other of Cambridge; and DR..
Sharpe adds in a note that ''the sum
OF &l5 is now paid yearly to each of
the exhlbitioners, instead of 60 1Os.'
During the latter part of the
reign of Henry VIII. bequestsfor "pious
uses" became rare, and the last of such
requests is made by John Watson,
brewer, 1914. Candles, masses, and
trentals have disappeared from wills,
and companies (no longer called
guilds, hospitals, scholars, and pris-
oners appear more frequently as lega-
tees.
The will of Sir Thomas Gresham,
mercer, 1879, indicates the estimation
in which the new learning was held in
Elizabeth's reign; he provides that lee
lures shall be read on divinity, astron-
omy, music, geometry, law, physic and
rhetoric. None to be chosen to read
lectures S long as he be married"
