practitioners and quacks before their true
quality and effect had been thoroughly
investigated and safeguarded by the care
and attention of men of science prud-
ence and humanity. They would inevi-
tably have killed more than they cured
and have been curses instead of bless
ings."
But, surely, Doctor, there can be no
harm in explaining the means by which
you succeeded in destroying this mi
crobe'in the insects, reptiles and animals
upon whom you operated. You are not,
l believe vivisectionist, and would
shrink from inflicting pain, even on the
lowest of animals, for the mere sake of
scientific investigations"
Certainly not, 1 hold that, inasmuch
as the art of medicine and surgery has
for it's object the solacing of pain, it
should not be inflicted by the professors
of that art except in extreme cases, and,
therefore, in my proceedings with verte-
brate and warm blooded animals, such
as guinea pigs, who are the proto-mar-
tyrs ofscience, and dogs, who, as the
friends of man are the favorite objects
of experiment, l have used hypodermic
injections of the vapor condensed to the
fluid state by extreme pressure. This
fluid mlngleS with the blood as it cir
culates and annihilates the microbes, to
which it is inimicai, just as exposure to
the vapor in it's gaseous state destroys
it in plants and insects, which latter in
spire the fumes through the breathing
tubes situated along their sides, as vege-
tables take it in through the pores of
their leaves and roots.
"1ndependent of it's destructive effect
on the lethal microbe, the vapor and it's
condensation has a wonderfully invigor-
ating and healthful effect on both plants
and animals, and l am persuaded that it
was discovered and used by the alchem-
lists of old, and that the legends of elk
irs of life, fountains of youth and earthly
immortality had their origin in this dis
covery which was kept secret, after the
we'll known usage of the learned men of
former ages, and was recorded in mysti-
cal terms, not 'understanded of the peo-
ple.' but comprehensive by initiates and
adopts who strenuously refused it to the
common herd lest they should eat of the
tree Of life and become as GODS For
this reason I have determined not to
intrust my discovery and it's methods of
working to the public until 1t has been
ripened by time, reflection and examina-
tion."

NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY DUE TO
FLIES


Jefferson was fond of telling a story
which illustrates ina forcible manner
the Importance that absurdly insignifi-
cant matters may sometimes assume.
When the deliberative body that gave
the world the Declaration of Independ-
ence was in session it's proceedings were
conducted in a hall close to which was sit
uated livery stable. The weather was
warm and from the stable came swarms
of flies that lighted on the legs of the
honorable members and biting through
the thin silk stockings then in fashion
gave infinite annoyance. 1t was no I'M
common sight said Jefferson, to see a
member making speech with a large
handkerchief in hand, and pausing at
every moment to thrash the flies from
his thinly protected calves. The opinion
of the body was not unanimous in favor
of the document, and under other cir
cumstances discussion might have been
protracted for days, if not weeks but the
flies were intolerable. Efforts were
made to find another hall, free from the
pests, but in vain. AS the weather be-
came warmer the flies grew worse and
the Tapping of handkerchiefs was heard
all over the hall as an accompaniment to
the voices of the speakers In despair
at last some one suggested that matters
be hurried so that the body might ad-
journ and get away from the, flies. There
were few mild protests, but but no one
needed them, the immortal Declaration
was hurriedly copied and with handker-
chiefs in hand, fighting flies as they
came, the members fastened I'D to the ia
BILE to sign the authentic copy and leave
the flies in the lurch. Had it not been
for the livery stable and it's inmates
there is no telling when the document
would have been completed, but it GER
tainly would not have been signed on the

AN IDEAL HAMMOCK PILLOW

Already the house mother is giving
thought to the comfort of her family
for the summer, so, among other things
she thinks of her hammock pillows.
The ideal hammock pillow is cool to
the touch, soft to the head, and indiffer-
ent alike to sun or an occasional shower
One woman at least thinks she has
combined all these requirements and
has an outfit of pillows which she de-
clares cannot be outdOne.

fresh hay, and they are laced at one end.
SO that they can easily be emptied and
refllled. One of the prettiest of them is
of old pink linen. On 1t are some big
tumbling chrysanthemums, simply out
lined with heavy white linen floss, and
it's three-inch hem is supplied with eye
let holes, through which the lacing is
easily run. AS the owner explains, if,
by any accident, the pillow is forgotten
and Is left out in the summer rain, it
need only be unlaced, shaken free of it's
contents, dried, and refilled to be quite
as good as new. The hay is pleasant to
lie upon, and, if frequently changed, has
a faint, sweet odor, while it, at the same
time, engenders none of the heat that
comes of down or other feathers. The
linen will stand both sun and water. To
be sure, continued exposure will cause it
agreeable in appearance, and a trip to
the laundry will always make it fresh
and dainty once more.
