Happy Declining Years Of q Street

How BE Got His Two Pecul-
lar Names.

There is horse on the North sioo
whom 1t would be hard to convince
that big corporations have no souls.
This horse, so says writer in the Chi
cago Tribune, has two names, Yankee
and Dago, and he is the pensioned prop
erty of the North Chicago Street Rail
road company. One does not have to
go far to find the reason for Yankee
Dago's present easy lot in life, nor when
found will it appear strange that even
street railroad company should do
something to ease the last years of SO
intelligent and trusty servant.
William Burt, the barn foreman at
Elm and Clark streets, has been
Yankees intimate friend for twenty
years, and will tell caller all about
the horse and give an introduction as
well, provided the old pensioner be at
home. He may be out calling himself,
for his big stall Is always open, and
Yankee has forgotten by this time. the
feeling of halter. - c.
The average life of usefulness Of .
street railroad horse is four years
Some by reason of exceptional strength
last little longer and some cannot
round out even that time, bit the aver
age holds good. Four years Is not long
enough for horse, especially when he
is only one of a thousand, to endear
himself to the pensioning point to that
big body of stockholders who own
him. Yankee-Dago, however, out
lived five generations of brother and
sister car horses and did excellent serv-
ice on the streets for twenty years. He
is now twenty-three years old and is
enjoying his well-earned rest and oats
without being troubled with thoughts
of having to pull on the morrow a

humanity bound to its early morning

The third of six beautiful and tall

1874.
No married life could be more simple

by their five children, three daughters
and two sons-Princess Sophie, born in
1875; Princess Elizabeth. 1876; Princess

life, for the duke has no less than three
eye hospitals under his charge, which
he has bimselfo founded, the principal

others are at Munich and Meran, at all
of which, places he spends part of
the year with his family. His royal
highness performs the operations very
early in the morning dn summer at

The hospital of Tegernsee, which "a

VIRUS In GLASS BULBS.
New Method Of Vaccination Prao-
ticed in Chicago.

Chicago is in the eyes of the medical
world just now; for that city is giving
science its first accurate knowledge of
vaccination as distinct department OF
research and observation.
Before the days of Assistant Health
Commissioner Frank w. Reilly and
Chief Medical Inspector E. Garrett, Of
the Chicago department, an idea pre-
vailed generally that vaccination was a
trivial matter-to be done by anybody,
anywhere, anyhow and with any kind
of bovine or human vaccine virus. ALI
this is changed now, states the Chicago
Record.
The theory of Drs. CARROT and Reilly
is that vaccination is important enough
to engage the attention and enlist the
learning of the ablest practitioners.
They cry out against the idea that any
body can inoculate patient as well as
the physician. .,--
At the present time the medical
heads Of the health department are
making exhaustive studies of tine sub
feet and are compiling statistics which
they expect will become authoritative
throughout the world in the matter of
smallpox prevention.
! Every grain of vaccine matter used
by the department is subjected to tests
as severe as can be devised First,
samples are sent to DR.. Gehrman, the
chemist and bacteriologist of the de-
partment. He makes 'culture"-that
is to say. he sees how many kinds Of
germs he can raise from the sample of
virus. Then he puts the bacilli under
his microscope to see whether any of
them are the agents of erysipelas. of
pus formation or of septic diseases
blood poisoning and the like. II he
finds the virus to be free from these
dangerous germs he sends back re-
port 20. K" DR.. Garrett then takes
samples of the same lot and vaccinates
a dozen persons needing smallpox pro-
lection. If the virus takes" in a ma
FORTY of the cases and if the sores pro-
duced are typical" without improper
symptoms, such as mattery discharges
