Vaccination Against Snake Bite.


The latest novelty in incubation IL
incubation for the bite of vipers. TIVE
French physicians of the Paris Museum
of Comparative Pathology, Messrs
Phisalix and Bertrand, have been ex
perimenting, with the result that they
have succeeded in communicating 1
slight attack of snake poisoning to som.
guinea pigs. By heating some wipe,
virus at a temperature of IS dcgreel
centigrade they succeeded in weaken
ing it to such All extent that the guine,
pigs were none the worse for the opera
ton. Messrs. Phisalix and Bertrand
claim that animals so treated are "pro
tected from the effects of future snake
bites" They hope to see their plar
adopted in India aud elsewhere where
venomous snakes abound.-Londo,

GOING TO rHE scENE OF THE ACCIDENT.
His invention consists O a simple
contrivance. a bicycle of the safety
type with an ambulance attachment.
The stretcher is fastened securely, but
easily, to the top Of the bicycle frame,
and the wounded or sick person lying
on the stretcher may then be safely
and with very little cxertion rolled
along, either u plane or an incline, over
steps and stairs, rocks and declivities,
without being shaken or otherwise in
~convenienced to any Improbable ex-
tent. The frame to which the stretcher
ia fastened is made OF aluminium, thus
being very light and yet durable. and
this frame may be lowered or inclined
almost at any angle. The bicycle
again is SO constructed hat the franc
and stretcher are quickly taken of or
adjusted, and in going to the scene Of
disaster, be 1t battlefield or anywhere
else, the vehicle may be used by sur.
geon or ambulance man to ride on and
to convey him quickly to the spot.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
OF the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime OF sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

Fred Grant on Diplomacy.

Colonel Fred D. Grant, in his address
at the dinner in the Brooklyn Union
League club, spoke of diplomacy and
concluded by giving his ideas Of the
qualifications diplomat should possess.
First" he said, "a diplomat should be
absolutely loyal to his own government,
for no foreign statesman will respect or
trust man who has not always been
loyal to the country he represents. He
must be sufficiently educated in his pro-
fession to be able to intelligently discuss
the intercourse between nations and pro-
pose honorable and fair dealings for the
future, and he should be able to do this
in the French, which is the diplomatic
language, in the language of the country
to which he is accredited, as well as in
his own tongue. Second, a diplomat
should, upon every possible occasion,
show most cordial feelings for the gov
errment, customs and institutions of
the nation to which he is accredited and
make every one with whom he comes in
contact feel that he is their friend.
Without these qualifications diplomat
can be of little use to his country, and
his record will be either inglorious or
utterly devoid of importance. "-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

BE yyns Fond of Gallery.

If celery is the nerve bracer that some
are disposed to consider it, there is one
man in Philadelphia who is in no danger
of nervous prostration. A gray bearded,
brown wigged, mild eyed, middle aged,
imperturbable little old man walked Sc
dately into we'll known Chestnut street
cafe the other night, dotted his hat and
coat, sat down to table, tucked nap
kin under his chin, drank the whole of
a glass of ice water placed before him
by the waiter and said, Bring me an
order of celery, all white and clean"
Fright, sir" said the waiter hesitating-
ly. That's ALL" murmured the little
old man as he pushed out his glass for a
fresh supply of water.
The celery came, the little man quick
ly devoured that; called for another Or
der, devoured that; called for another
order and made that disappear, and SO
on till all the walters, all the oyster open
eners, all the attendants, the cashier and
customers were beholding him in aston
ishment. AS the last bit of the succu-
lent vegetable disappeared the waiter
turned over the little mans check,
amounting to 90 cents. All unconscious
of the furore he had created, the cham
pion celery eater pulled on his overcoat,
carefully adjusted his hat, gave the
waiter dime, pulled on his gloves, paid
his check at the desk, lighted cigar,
said "Celery's not much good yet" and
walked out.-Philadelphia Record.

the band and view the regiment of sol

who at first failed to recognize the IA
niliar air, and even many of those who
did, wondered at the lively strains from

viously been playing solemn funeral
dirges in the procession from which they
were returning.
Gradually the meaning of it all dawn

words, For my bonnie Annie Laurie

were silently spoken by those who re-
