A Suit Mill.

An industry is now in progress at
the great Lincoln mill in Lewiston,
that will interest all Maine and pos
sibly the entire country. 1t is the
turning of pure Maine:grown wool
into ten-dollar suits of clothing, Gus
tom made, from your individual
measure. This new industry has been
under advisement for months, but has
been kept quiet. A few concerns in
some parts OF the country turn their
products into trousers, but none that
we know of turn the product of a mill
into suits. These will be handled
direct to the retail trade, saving the
profits of commission houses and job
bers. In this method Of doing busl-
ness the man who makes the cloth

the greatest properties OF Lewiston.

"Infallibly?"
81 have just told you that the ststis-

Malades show that since the use of the
serum in diphtheria cases where there
is no complication with other maladies,
the average of mortality has been
lowered from eleven to one per cent.
Contrast this with nearly seventy per
cent. of mortality where the old-fash-
ioned treatment alone is used"
DR.. Roux is deeply in earnest.
"Give US just the chance that we ought
to have-fair play against the dis
ease," he says, "and we will conquer
it every time"
The correspondent remarked that
diphtheria is a disease about which
every mother has a different theory.
'There are many vulgar errors con-
cerning it, said the Doctor. 'Nine

1t was only when the last preparations

full attention was bestowed on the cap

leaving the spot. Several Of them, how
ever, held brief consultation near the
smoldering camp fire.
Finally they seemed to have decided
on his fate. The young scout paled, but
betrayed no fear as he saw them gather
wood and pile it about the tree where he
was. They redoubled his bonds, with
stout thongs that would not burn easily.
The wood and branches were piled
high about him, the savages uttered

"No. The bleeding causes no pain,

The young savsnt's face was now
aglow with enthusiasm. Here Was q
man who took asmuch pride in saving
life as successful generals take in de-
stroying it.
The World correspondent asked Dr..
Roux to tell how he came upon the
astonishing and benefcent discovery.
"Tell howit is that you, pupil of the
great Pasteur, have gone ahead of
your master. If were he I could find
it in my heart to be jealous of you!"
The Doctor held up his hand with
the mock Partisan gesture of dissent.
"Pasteur could not be jealous. He is
too grandly simple for that. he re-.
ioices in the success of his pupils as
much as in his own. And he enjoys
his own solely because it is of benefit
to humanity. Besides, we owe all that
we have and are to him. 1t is by fol-
lowing his methods that we have at
last come upon q new truth, which
certainly will save great numbers OF
lives. In America diphtheria is a
great scourge, I have heard. Well,
the serum treatment cannot fail to be
of immense advantage there. -

Hints About Children.

Keep the feet of the children dry,
and you will have less trouble with
coughs and colds. When child's ex-
tremities are warmly and dryly clad,
those children will be found to suffer
but little with throat and ear troubles.
You can still dress them in thin white
if you will cover their legs, arms and
bodies with wooden undergarments.
Never permit the children to sleep

A Curious Effect of Electricity.

In taking down an old building at
Pesth, Hungary, the other day, the
workmen made q curious discovery.
At the lower end of the lightning rod,
which has been affixed to the building
some fifteen years, was found large
ball of pure iron, firmly attached to
the rod. It was about as big as q
mans head, and as porous as sponge.
It weighed forty-six pounds. Scien-
lists think that It was formed by the
action of electricity attracting to the
rod the particles of iron in the clay,
in which the rod terminated. -Picay-

location. The false membranes which
develop at the back of the throat
rarely cause total obstruction of the
respiratory canal, and even if they did,
tracheotomy could save the patent.
"But the diphtheritic microbe,
which swarms on these false MEM
branes, secretes poison that, sooner
or later, according to the virulence of
the attack, must contaminate the
blood. My pupil Yersin and I claim
to have been the first to discover this
'toxine,' and to have proved that diph-
liberia patients die from poisoning.

of the anti.diphtheritic serum confers

supposed that the serum has any
power to cure other diseases which
the sufferer may have concurrently
with diphtheria.
Glow did you happen to hit upon
the serum of the blood of the horse as
remedy for diphtheria?
"We never come upon anything by
chance, here" answered DR.. Roux.
Everything is the result of patient,
even wearisome research. I first be-
came connected with Pasteur when he
was experimenting with view to the
discovery of the anti-hydrophobic
vaccine. Naturally We experimental
upon all kinds of animals, and I came
on some facts about the horse which
led me later to choose that animal as
the one for the anti-diphtheria expert
ments. Then came the moment of
those terrible first experiments upon
human beings with Pasteur's new
vaccine matter. The good old savant,
engrossed in his researches, had omit
ted to put himself right with the local
faculty of medicine in the matter OF
his grades, and he was forbidden tc
undertake the vaccination of persons
who had been bitten by mad dogs
without the assistance of a doctor who
would assume the responsibility for
the operations.
"Did you feel any trepidation when
you undertook the task and super
vised and made yourself responsible
for the first vaccinations?"
