The Cholera Germ Again.

The reported discovery of the plague
bacillus by Profs. Kitsaito and Aoyama
of Toxic university. who went to Hong
Kong to study the epidemic. has at
tracted SO much popular interest that il
may be well to note some particulars
which have just reached this country.
The fatal microbe is described as hav-
ing the form of very slender, straight
flament of short length. 1t appears in
the blood on and after the second day
of the outbreak of the disease and may
possibly be--it ought, at all events, to
be-identical with the plague bacillus
imperfectly described during the Astra-
chan epidemic a few years ago.
Animals inoeulated with it Invariably
show choleraic symptoms or die within
two days. As there is no alternative
but that either the patient or the bacilli
must be killed, the Japanese physicians
are investigating the question of how
best to scotch the yirulence of the
plague germ, and are in hopes that be-
fore long their researches will be
crowned with success.
Meantime, the plague being epidemic
in Yunnan, and having established sew
eral fresh centers. they do not believe
thwt the insanitary habits of the Chinese
will ever admit of it's being extermin-
ated from an empire which it has
scourged again and again.-London
Chronicle.

A 5IRD.HUNTINc PIG.
He Was ms Reliable as Any Pointer Dos
In the Field.

We call pigs stupid creatures. This
is not fair. They are really as intelli-
gent as the majority of domestic ami
mails, but the lives we allow them are
too short and their opportunities too
few for them to show their abilities to
advantage. The pig of which l have
more particularly to tell was by no
means handsome specimen, but what
she wanted in beauty she made up in
talent.
As baby pig she belonged to a per-
son named Toomer, and she was reared
with family of young pointer puppies.
She took kindly to her playfellows. and
when they became old enough to follow
the keeper in his walks she too would
come trotting and grunting after.
When Mr.. Toomer began to train his
young charges for their work of finding
and pointing out game there was dan
ger that piggy might make mischief.
But the keeper would not leave her shut
up at home. He had, he said, broken
many dogs as obstinate as pigs, and
could surely break pig that was Sc
much more tractable than the rest Of
her kind. So he taught her to "back,
that is. to stand perfectly still whenever
dog had found game and was point
ing at it. To teach her this he used
both rewards and punishments; when
she did wrong he pelted her with tiny
stones, for he could not catch her and
chastise her as he did naughty puppies,
and when she behaved herself well he
had always barley meal pudding in his
pocket for her.
But this was not all. He discovered
that piggy, like many other pigs, had a
keen sense of smell. She learned to
scent the game, and point at IL for her
self; but not quite like dog. A pointer
dog when he has found game stands
generally with one of his forepaws held
up till his master comes to him. Piggy,
as soon as she was sure that she had
found partridge or hare or rabbit,
would drop on her knees and SO remain
for five minutes if necessary. Unfor-
tunately before her schoolmaster had
time to teach her any further accom-
plishments he died. His widow sent
piggy to man with whom she lived
for three years. But, alas, piggy did
not escape the common doom OF pigs.
In the end she was shut in a sty, fat.
tened, and made into bacon, as all hel
ancestors had been before her.

RED-HAlRED GIRLS ouTNuMsERED.
A Practical Test of the Superstition About
White Horses.

My chum and roommate was a con-
firmed victim of the betting habit. He
would wager his money upon the most
absurd propositions and in the most
reckless manner, and the oldest part OF
il was that he really felt hurt if I re-
fused to take up his crazy wagers. The
result was that he usually paid my
share of our room rent as well as his
own, but this never worried him for a
moment. He was cheerful and steady
loser and upon all other subjects he was
perfectly sane, says the N. 7. Herald.
He once remarked to me that he
wasn't at all superstitious, but he did
think it odd that one never could see a
red-headed girl without Immediately
encountering white horse.
remarked that ! didn't take any
stock in that ancient notion and, any
how, there were so many more white
horses than there were red-haired girls
that it wouldn't be strange if he could
find a white horse for every red-haired
girl
He challenged the proposition in.
stantly that the number of horses ex-
ceeded the number of girls, and, oi
course, proposed to bet that he was
right. To give him a reasonable chance
refused an seven bet," but proposed
that we walk up Fifth avenue from
Madison square to Sixty-fifth street and
if didn't count three white horses fol
every red-haired girl we met, then
would pay the next months rent.
My chum jumped at this three-to-one
chance and we started to test the ques-
ton. The white horses kept well ahead
of the girls at first, though not quite in
the ratio of three to one, and the result
seemed in doubt until we approached
the cathedral Then we encountered q
throng of women, young and old, pour
ing out from service. We kept count
conscientiously, and when that crowd
had passed my end of the bet seemed
hopeless The white horses had beer
not only overtaken but they were out
numbered by a total of twenty-sever
girls to nineteen horses.
But didn't despair. knew as the
afternoon wore on the park entrances
would help me out in the matter Of
white horses. And SO they did. Al
we went on northward the red-haired
girls all seemed to have been transport
ed to another sphere, while whole pro
cessions of white horses were streaming
in both directions almost as fast as we
could count them.
won the bet. The horses scored g
total of 105 and the girls only thirty.

Origin Of the Novel.

Great inventions are not the products
of individual genius. The inventor
only contributes to what has been de-
veloping through the ages. He gives
the finishing touch, or joins the missing
element, to the work of others; the So
called invention is the product of long
continued evolution. The same may
be said of every great work of art. 1t
simply marks a stage in a long and
toilsome journey.
must be sought far back of the time
when the first English novel appeared.
Indeed, there :. is some difference of
opinion in regard to the book that is
entitled to be called the first English
novel, Sir Walter Scott thought "Tom
Jones. written by Fielding in 1749, was
entitled to that honor. Others say it is
Pamela" written in 1740. Defoes
Robinson Crusoe," published in 1919,
has strong claims. Addison's Coverly
papers were novel in embryo.
1t is hard to say, then. just who is the
father of the English novel as we un-
derstand the term. A French critic in
sists that it is Thomas Nash, who wrote
near the close of the sixteenth century.
The opinion is almost general, however,
that the novel came into existence about
the beginning of the eighteenth century.
To understand why it appeared at that
time it is necessary to trace the deyel-
opment of English prose fiction.
Before doing so, let US inquire what
the novel is. How does it differ from
the romanceP Turning to the defini-
ton given in the Century dictionary. we
find that novel is "a fictitious prose
narrative or tale involving some plot Of
more or less intricacy and aiming to
present picture of real life in the his
torical period and society to which the
persons, manners and modes of speech,
as well as the scenery and surroundings
are supposed to belong" Originally
the word, novel, meant simply a new
tale, any story of fresh interest.
A romance was anything in prose OF
verse written in any of the romance
languages. By and by the words ac.
quired separate and distinct meanings.
Romance was used to designate stories
which dealt chiefly with the marvellous,
the heroic. the mysterious and the SUI
pernatural. Novel was applied to mar.
ratives in which the incidents were &C.
commodated to the ordinary train OF
events and the actual state of society.
This is the distinction to-day.
