The class of '97 of the Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia have
decided to use the metric system in
writing their prescriptions when they
ale graduated This action" says
the Philadelphia Enquirer, will no
doubt be handed down from class to
class as it is the first step made in this
country by medical college. 1t is
contended that at the present time all
kinds of weights and measures are
used by the druggists and pharmacists,
thus leading to confusion between the
doctor and the druggist. The United
States Pharmacopeia of 1890, pro-
nounced ir favor Of the metric system,
yet it is only by concerted action On
the part Of the doctors and the phsr-
macists that it will be brought into
general use. The colleges of phar-
macy nave adopted the metric system
and it is thought that, as it hes been
brought up in one medical college,
others will speedily follow"

Cost Of Running Trains.

Probably few travellers, even those
who daily have occasion 20 use the
railway, have any adequate idea of the
cost of running trains. The cost may
differ, and doubtless does differ great
ly with the varying conditions, but
the recently published figures of one
of the extensive Western systems are
instructive. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railway, operating 6l47
miles of road, has made public an an
alysis Of expenses per revenue train
mile run for the past two years, the
total miles run being 81, 1904 in
1898, and 26, ,692, 470 in 1894. The
items include repairs Of locomotives
and cars, station service, train service,
train and station supplies, fuel, oil
and waste and miscellaneous expenses
The total operating expenses were
So. 46 cents per revenue train mile in
1898, and 80. 81 cents in 1894. The
revenue from passengers per train
mile run was only 9l.5l cents In 1893
and 80. so cents in 1894, or less than
cost. But there was profit on
freight service, the revenue per milo
run being 1901 in 1893 and 81. 1894
in 1894, and out of this margin be-
tween receipts and expenditures per
mile has to come the return for the
enormous investment in roads, rolling
stock, structures and other property.
Stated in general way, it costs about
dollar mile, actual operative ex-
penses, to run train, without allow
ing any return on cost of road or
equipment. t.-Providenc Journal.

Valley Forge, the famous winter
headquarters of Washin gton during
the darkest period of the Revolution,
is soon to become q State Park, the
Legislature of Pennsylvania having
appropriated S25, 900 to acquire the
ownership of the property. The jury
OF awards has assessed damages of
S2S, 532 to the owners of something
over 200 acres of land desired for the
park, and it is probable that the small
excess over the appropriation will not
stand in the way OF the patriotic pro-
iect.

dition is serious. Thomas Ahearn, OF l3 Al

Mrs. Lynn Linton thinks that the
pessantry of Ireland and France,
where she has observed them, are suf-
fering greatly from the decline OF the
sauirearchy OF landlordism. In Ire
land and in the French rural districts
the people, no longer living under the
.inauence of the better educated and
more enlightened gentry" lose both
IN manner and morals, and are also
injured IL their pockets. Whole
towns and villages in Ireland have
been made poorer than ever by the
lack of landlords, who, Impoverished
by successive enactments, have been
forced to shut up their houses and
leave the country. The work that was
given by the big houses is over. The
smithy's fire is quenched; the car
riers' horses are idle; the village
shops are meagre and few; nothing ID
done, and "social life is stagnant'
The women have scarcely anything to
do There ls no more washing, and
thev are rapidly losing their skill IN
saving. The tyranny" OF the squire
ia taken off, but the pessantry have
lost II valuable guide and counselor
and source of profitable activity and
industry which there is little pros
pect Of replacing.

Warfare Against Field Mice.

The farmers of France have been
having q great deal of trouble with
field mice. In some parts of the coun-
try they have become 80 numerous
and destructive that it is impossible
to produce any crop. Every acre of
land furnishes a home for thousands
of these pests. An ingenious device
has beea tried to rid the land Of these
pests, and has been very successful.
The method adopted was to dissolve
some gelatine cultures of pathogenic
bacteria capable of producing an in
fictitious disease in mice, then soaking
great number of small cubes OF bread
in this solution, and placing the bread
near the holes every day for three
days in succession. Within two weeks
from the time when this treatment was
begun scarcely live mouse was to be
found in the district. When the bur-
rows were opened their galleries were
found to be Allied with dead mice. -

To Arbitrate Differences Between

il desired. would aGbitrate the differ
encrs between China aad Japan. On
tho same day another dispatch, also
inspired by President Cleveland, was sent
by Secretary Gresham to Mr.. Dunn, the
United States minister at Toxic. This de-
spatch. after stating the willingness of the
United States to mediate between the two
countries, proceeded at considerable length
to define the position of the United States.
1t added that in making this sugge"-
ton the United States was influenced
only by sentiments OF friendship for
both the contending parties; that no
consideration Of territorial agRran dizement
entered into the question; that the United
States i.-:erests in the east were not materi-
ally affected by the war, and that the atti-
tude Of this government could not be open to
any other construction than that OF an earn
est friend OF the two nations Interested. Since
these dispatches we're sent the state depart
ment has received assurances that China Will
accept the opposition.
