THE NEW pIPArAERIA CURE.

Conflicting Claims 20 the Credit Of It's
Discovery.
Already there are two claimants for the
honor OF inventing the alleged infallible
cure fordiphtheria, even before it is proved
a success. DIR. Roux of Paris claims TO
have discovered the method of treating tho
disease by the injection of the serum OF
horse blood, and TO have done wonders
with IL In the hospitals, but London nu-
thOrities declare that the principle was
discovered by Professor Behring Of Halle,
Germany. He calls It simply the antitox-
inc, and it is directed not against the bac-
terra, but against the poison they leave in
the system.
1t was long supposed that death from
diphtheria was due TO stranGulation caused
by the false membrane, but Professor
Behring demonstrated that this is rarely
the case. 1t is a poison produced by the
germs, a sort of refuse, which destroys
the vitality of the system. The first step
was to master process of separating the
germs from their poisonous refuse Then
animals were inoculated, chiefly goats,
and It was found that after a series of in
jections, lasting from six months to a
year, the first doses very small and the
amount gradually increased, nature
formed in the blood of goats natural an

When Playing For Others.

Having finally learned to play certain
selections from favorite composers,
many performers will unconsciously
memorize the notes and thus be able to
play the piano without the score before
them This, says The Musical Record,
is the most enjoyable mode Of playing
to the musician, for, untroubled by the
drudgery Of reading as she goes along,
the pupil can the more readily devote
herself to the Interpretation of the mu-
sic. After little time of careful prac-
tice, rather than Of long and arduous
work, the student viii be able to play
to her friends with some confidence.
This is naturally more difficult than to
play to herself She must try to forget
that she is going to play to friends.
Interpret your selection as well as you
can, be natural in your demeanor, and,
above all things, avoid attitudinizing or
posing for effect. All this is in the
worst possible taste. Sit easily and nat
ura1ly before the piano, let your hands
fall over the keys and do not play with
your wrists and shoulders, but with
your fingers. Hear, if possible, good
music and musicians. Attend the reci-
tails Of the best artists aid study their
execution and Interpretation of the best
masters whenever this is practicable.

His fame reached the ears OF the veteran
owner Of trotting royalty, Robert Bonner,
and Mr.. Bonner engaged him TO look after
the welfare OF the precious feet OF such
turf aristocrats as Dexter, Lady Woodruff,
Pocahontas, Flatbush Maid and Lady
Palmer.
Mr.. Herman remained In the service OF
Mr.. Bonner until 1868. when he beoams a
farrier in the employ OF the United States
government. A single years work con-
WINGED army officials that Herman knew
his business thoroughly, and he was made
chief farrier and Instructor, an office he has
held for q quarter OF q century. When
General Grant was president, Herman had
entire control Of the generals stock on the
old Dent farm, and one Of the most inter
esting relics in his collection OF horse tro-
phies Is a pair of hoofs from a thorough
bred marc General Grant had often ridden
in battle.
This collection OF Kiernan's IS consider
ed one Of the most, remarkable farr1ery ex-
hibits extant, and 1t attracted considerable
attention at the Woeldts fair. It Is the re-
suit OF a score of years OF study and re-
search and is o. complete display Of the
