germs The expectora ton alone is
dangerous, and this only when it is al
lowed to dry and become part of the
dust It is in the dust, therefore, that
is found the root Of the evil of con-
sumption. There are great many peo-
pie who do not believe this. There are
many who take no stock in this germ
business as they call it. It is char
acteristic of ignorant people to sheer at
what they do not or cannot understand
1t is unfortunate that the germ diseases
due to carelessneSS, ignorance and
prejudice cannot be confined to those
chiefly responsible for aleir dissent
nation.
Consumption is so prevalent that it
would be difficult to find a theater or
church audience without one or two
persons suffering with the disease.
Such persons may be ignorant of the
danger to which he exposes his fellow

and it is entirely possible for him, in

BARNATO'S SiSTER-iN-LAW.

She Has Part in Coming Opera Now
Playing in This Country.
There is pretty girl, who has snap
ping black eyes that light up well
moulded features, who is just now play
ing small part, very small part, at
that, in one of the comic operas rum
ming at a New York theater. She
dances a Spanish fling and sings in a
sweet but light soprano voice in a
quintet. l believe she has two or three
lines to speak also. Her main occupa
ton in the opera is to stand around in
picturesque costumes and striking
poses and look pretty, in all Of which
she is eminently successful.
This young lady is Miss Alice Hol-
brook. More than that, she Is the SIS
ter-in-laW Of the richest man in the
world, "the King of the Kaffirs,' Bar
ney Barnato. She is probably paid
about $40 or $25 a week. Her brother
in-laW is estimated to be worth f3OO,-
100000, or something like that, and
Miss Holbrook and her sister and
Barney are on the best of terms. He
paid for her education in London, and
Mrs. Barnato writes to her constantly.
Miss Holbrook has had wide expert
ence for the short time she has been
on the stage. She has played in Africa
with an opera company, camping out ON
the veldts; in Australia, New Zealand,

Judge Magee, of Pittsburg, Pa, ha

Judge Magee, of Pittsburg, Pa, has
handed down 4 decision refusing char
ter to the First Church of Christian
Scientists in that city. The court based
its refusal upon the ground that the ap
plication did not set forth the purpose
to maintain the worship of God as pro
yided in certain book by the Rev.
Mary Baker G. Eddy. and that it is un-
able from the charter to determine in
what the doctrines and teachings of
Christian Science consist or the plan
upon which operati tons are to be con
Quoted. The court further was of the
opinion that "the scientific worship of
God, or the worship of God as a scien-
fist, and as a corporate body of wor
Slippers needs more specific presenta-
ton of it's doctrines and teachings than
is furnished in the instrument before
u.s." Evidently Christian Science is all
a middle to Judge Magee.

crime committed by the people of Tyler

1t was the work of savages. To that
extent at least it was paralleled by the
crime of Hilliard. But it went farther
than this. billiards. crime had no in
f1uence outside OF it's immediate en-
vironment. The crime of the people of
Tyler brutalized every one who wit
messed it, prepared the way for more
outrageS of q similar nature, and
brought the law into contempt. 1t was
devilish in it's -bloodedness. It was
so monstrously cruel as to be almost
incredible. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the authorities of Texas will
condone it. If they do that State should
be avoided by every civilized person.

Gen. Clusters Check.

The tragic death of Gen. Custer and
his gallant men at the hands of the
Sioux Indians in the massacre of Lit
tie Big Horn was recalled the other
day at bismarck, n. D.. says a recent
dispatch from that town, by the for
Warding to Mrs. Custer of a check for
$1,000 drawn to the order of Gen. Geo
A. Custer in 1876. The check is dated
June %, and it is signed by B. l..
Smith, at that time assistant paymas-
ter of the army. It was on June 25,
1876, that the massacre took place
The check is still unpaid, and soiled
and tattered though it be, constitutes a
valid claim against the government
for the amount represented on it's face.
which was no doubt intended as part
payment of Gen. Clusters salary as an
officer Of the United States army
Where the check has been all these
years no one knows, least of all Michael
Francis, who found it in the street at
Bismarck, last February, and who has
retained it in his possession until now
When Francis picked up the bit of pa
i
was drawn, but three heavy creases in
it showed that it had been worn
through. The parts were joined togeth-
er by narrow strips of paper pasted on
the back, and the edges were some
what soiled, as though the paper had
at one time been dropped in the mud.
No endorsement appears upon the
back of the check and the face shows
the mark of no cancellation stamp
demonstrating that the check has new
er been presented for payment. The
check was, no doubt, forwarded to the
Northwest before the news of the Gus
ter massacre reached Washington. Had
it reached those in charge of the dead
soldiers effects it would have been
sent back at once in order that one paw
able to the heirs could have been sent
IN its place. 1t has evidently been I'M
der shelter somewhere, and the chances
are that it was lost last February and
swept out into the street where il was
found by Mr. Francis.

harmless to man, and are of great value
in the economy of nature. There are,
however, a few species of bacteria that
dreaded and widespread of human dis
eases, some of which are undoubtedly
contracted by inhaling the bacteria
floating in the dust. For collecting bac-
terra in the air, what is known as the
"plate method is most used. Into
a perfectly clean shallow glass dish is
poured a thin layer of warm nutrient"
gelatin, allowing it to solidify by cool
ing, which gives a smooth, moist and
tolerably adhesive surface, each dish
being protected by closely fitting glass
covers. When it is desired to examine
the air Of any particular place COW
cred dish is set in a still place and the
cover taken off. Dust particles, inor
ganic as we'll as organic, will settle on
the gelatin.
The germ of consumption or tubercu-
losis is found in the dust that blows
about our streets and in our houses.
This germ is, on an average, one-ten-
thousandth of an inch long. 1t does
not grow in nature outside the bodies
of men and a few species of warm
blooded animals; but it may remain
alive for long time in the dry state.
For some reason that we do not know
it will not grow in the bodies of many
men and animals, but o,nef persons
and animals furnish the unknown con-
ditions, and in them the bacillus tuber-
culosis grows readily and more or less
rapidly. With reference to this germ
the human race is indebted to bacteria
logists for showing, in the first place,
that consumption is not inherited; in
the second place. that without the pres
ence and growth in the body of this
bacillus the individual cannot have
consumption; and, in the third place,
that consumption is a preventable dis
ease. Again, and of the greatest sig
nifcance to the community, we know
that every person suffering from con-
sumption Of the lungs may be expec-
torating every day millions Of living
and virulent bacilli, whose life and
virulence are not destroyed by long
period Of drying. This is fact of ter
rible significance when we take into
consideration the companion fact that
from one-seventh to one-fourth of all
the people who die are carried off by
consumption. And almost every person
who dies of consumption Of the lungs
acquires the disease from bacilli fur
nished by some other consumptive. The
vast majority of consumptivesu ndoubt-
eddy take the germs into their lungs
with the air they breathe, and the
germs get into the air from the dried
expectoration of persons suffering from
the terrible disease.
But while it is true that persons with
consumption may be constant source
of danger to their healthy fellows, it
is not true that they always are or need
be. The breath itself of the consump-
tive person, however i'll he may be. is

ROugh DRIVING.

The author of "Life with TRANSIT
berian Savages," Mr.. b. D. Howard
describing a journey in eastern Siberia,
says that the wheels used by the peo-
pie give the best idea of the roads of
the country. The wheels, he SAYS. are
only a little larger than those of ordi-
nary WheelbarroWs, and run beneath
the vehicle instead of at the sides of
it. OF course the wagon is easy to get
into, and what is more important, is
comparatively safe to be thrown out
of. OF this latter fact Mr.. Howard
says, the drivers take the fullest adj
vantage.
They rarely drive slower than gal
lop, and down a steep hill they double
the speed. The same thing is done on
approaching any destination, and espe-
cially on returning home. A driver
would be considered very unskilful
unless he could drive at the fastest gal
lop till he reached the very corner of
the masters house. and then come to
dead stop exactly at the door.
Mr.. Howard was especially impress
ed by the way his first driver took him
across bridges. They were wooden,
and only few inches wider than the
droshky. Whenever one came in sight,
crack! crack! would go the whip, and
with the widest Of cries the driver
would charge the bridge, and almost
before the passenger knew what had
happened, the horses-three abreast
would be tearing up the slope On the
other side of the stream.

the slightest sign of sympathy, emotion
or interest. My only ground of assur-
ance was that we were, so to speak, in
the same boat. On principle, too. l
was obliged to agree with the driver.
that if we We're obliged to cross such
bridges, the sooner we were over the
better"
'You may have travelled up country
in the toughest parts of Australia" Mr..
Howard further declares, cor you may
have had your feet dangling over
canon as you doubled a rocky cape on
the near wheels with California Jim
of the Sierras, yet | am at a loss for a
comparison which would help me much
in conveying a correct impression of

at Mrs. Emma Wizards Seminary, in
Troy, n. Y, in 1892 In 1910 she was
married to Henry Brewster Stanton,
and in the same year, While attending
the World sAnti-Slavery convention, she
met Lucretia Mott, with whom she was
in sympathy, and with whom she sign
ed the call for the first WOmen'S Rights
convention. This was held at her home
in Seneca Falls, July 10 and 20, 1913.
She addressed the New York Legisla-
ture on the rights of married women
in 1854, and in advocacy of divorce for
drunkenness in 1860, and in 1867 spoke
before the Legislature and the consti-
tutional convention, maintaining that
during the revision Of the constitution
the State was resolved into it's original
elements and that citizens of both sexes
had right to vote for members of that
convention. She canvassed Kansas in
1867 and Michigan in 1874, when the
question of woman suffrage was sub
mitted to the people of those States.
Since 1860 she has addressed many Con-
gressional committees and conventions,
and delivered numerous lectures on this
subject, and for ten years she was pres
ident Of the National Woman Suffrage
Association. In 1868 she was candi-
date for Congress. She was an editor
with Susan B. Anthony and Parker
Pillsbury Of The Revolution, founded
in 1868, and is joint author of History
of Woman's Suffrage"

Occupation of the capital Of NADIA
gascar by General Duchesne and the
French eXpeditionary army has arous-
ed fresh contention between England
and France The sum of the quarrel is
that England realizes that France has
driven her out Of a rich and promis-
ing island; and that the French policy
of colonization has not received the
staggering blow disaster in it's latest
adventure would have inflicted. The
pretension of France to dictatorship,
celled a protectorate, over MAZDA gascar,
especially in it's relations with foreign
powers is centuries old, while the in
trigues of British trade and diploma
cy, all of comparatively recent date,
had substantially converted the Ma
lagasy ruling faction to British depend
ence. British sympathy with the Ma
lagasy is wholly selfish, as usual. The
sinister prediction that the French can
not find food in the interior is baseless.
Several months ago General Duchesne
wrote to the national government that
he had ceased to rely on home supplies;
that all he needed was fresh meat and
rice. AS that constitutes the food of
the natives, he will have no difficulty
getting it. AT the same time, the NOR
tally among the French troops has
been frightful and is bound to cont1,-
lie to be until climatic pcrils are over
come. Denunciation of France by Brit
ish critics for sacrificing life i'll jingo
