aeAAeo " THE WOLVES.
A Infant 9teisn and Raised 70
Maturity.

Mrs. Colonel Tyler, OF India, wife
OF an English officer during the
mutiny OF the Sepoys, and who her.
self passed through oil the perils Of
the mutiny, talked In San Francisco
to an interested audience In regard to
the strange, Inhabitants and customs
OF India.
She told OF queer mesmerlc feats,
OF strange deeds OF the jugglers, and
OF conflicts with snakes, tigers and
other wild animals. Every story she
narrated was full OF interest, says
the Examiner.
II saw In . little village near Sc
cunda," she said, "a boy about AZ
teen years old who had been stolen in
his infancy BY q wolf and reared by

s.onaries. and was half wild. He
seemed to be afraid oil the time,

would tear the meat with his hands

he never learned to converse much.
He seemed always In state Of fright.

In the excitement of the moment
Jack was forgotten. 1t was supposed
that he had got out, but. when the

Women Indebted % Edison.

Every few persons are aware"
says Mrs. Emellne ID. Wells In the
Chicago Times-Herald, "of the great
fields Of rsmunerative employment
which have opened to women through

AsoUr POSTAL CARDS.



II seems almost incredible that
there should be eight thousand varie.
ties Of postal cards, md that Is the
extent claimed for q collection.
These, however, include various Is.
sues Of the same nation and demon.
inatlon, and also cards issued for
special occasions.
Postal cards have been In circula.
ton Q little less than twenty-five
years. The idea originated with DR..
Emanuel Hartmann, q professor OF
national economy ut the Imperial
Academy Of Wiener. In Neustadt,
Lower Austria.
His ideas, under the head OF New
Means Of Correspondence by Post"
were published and attracted the
attention Of the government officials.
The director general Of posts took up
the Idea and succeeded In hav.
Ing an issue OF postal cards put In
circulation In 1869. The original
name given to them was the ''corre.
spondenx karte." and this has been
retained ever since. This new move
on the part Of Austria quickly exclt.
ed other countries to adopt a similar
method Of correspondence. and be.
fore the close OF 1870 nearly oil the
European countries wore using cards.
Germany was really tho second
country to employ them, and q spe-
clal series was issued to the soldiers
engaged In the Franco. German war.
These were called the iicld.po.t CORE.
spondence cards, and were sold un.
stamped to the soldiers at tho rate
OF about five for q half.penny. The
soldiers had the privilege OF using
them without paying postage.
Another series was Issued for civil
ians. These had place left for
o stamp, and the writer had to afiix
a German postage stamp to tho card
before posting. The field post cards
are now rare, tho used ones being
scarcer than the unused ones.
Another card OF equal rarity. and
also q reminder OF the Same war, Is
the balloon post card. issued by
France during tho siege OF Paris.
The cards were sent up from Paris
In balloons, and the mall bugs were
thrown OF into the surrounding coun.
try, whore there was the least posi-.
BILE opportunity Of their capture by
the enemy.
They were smaller than the post
card now Ia use. and were covered
with war like expressions as Paris
defios the enemy!" "Glory and con.
quest signify crimes, defeat signifies
hate and q desire for revenge"
" Only ono war Is just and right
that for independence"

REPORT ON ANTI-TOXINE.
Consul Mason Gives a Description OF
the Process of Production.

NhC IoCSoS VA L HonuCAAOAs
Frank Mason. United States consul at
FRANKFORT, has submitted to the Depart
ment of State a most interesting report
on anti-toxire, the new curative for and
preventive Of diphtheria. He explains that
he is impelled to do this because the sub
ject is about to engage the attention of
Congress, because of the large number of
inquiries for detailed information concern
ing anti-toxine and because FRANKFORT is
the only establishment where it has been
produced commercially in quantities ade-
quate to meet the rapidly increasing de-
mand. He suggests the early publication
of the report.
Mr.. Mason gives a clear and detailed de-
Soription of every step in the process of
production of the new remedy, prefaced
by an accurate historical sketch Of its dis
covery and development. The factory at
FRANKFORT to which he refers is that at
the "Farbroerke" at Hoechst-on-Main.
Sheep and goats at first employed to pro-
duce the serum were discarded because
their tissues were affected by the various
foods they consumed, and recourse was
had to horses. The establishment now
utilities the blood of seventy-six horses,
and has a trained corps of more than
fifty men employed in this one work, pro-
ducing at present about 1900 doses per
day and by the end of this month it will
supply any demand.
1t is absolutely requisite that the horses
be young, vigorous anu physically perfect,
and no racing stud was ever better housed.
exercised, fed and cared for. Every new
horse is carefully isolated for a time to
test for inherent disease, however slight.
that might be transmitted to the human
body. surprising quantity Of blood can
be drawn from strong, healthy horse,
running up to ~ liters. 21.13 pints. in two
days. and one horse was used for four
years, and is still in good condition. The
anti-toxine improves with age at least
during the first two months, and the Ger
man physicians no longer use 1t fresh when
it Is apt to cause a skin eruption. An early
application, however, is of the utmost i'm
portance. In y cases of children treated
within two days of the first appearance
of diphtheria but two cases were fatal.
and the death rate in such cases is placed
at per cent. In Germany, where the ia
tai cases used to average ~ per cent, and
not less than $1,000 lives were annually
sacrificed to the diphtheria scourge, the
mortality has been reduced to less than
one-fourth, and 1t will be still further re-
duced when the country physicians use 1T
freely. A serious epidemic of diphtheria at
Trieste has been practically mastered by
anti-toXine.

MINISTER KATO'S OPINION.
Has Doubts That COrca's King Has
Been Assaesfnated.

Takaa XII Kato, Japanese minister to
England, was in Omaha half an hour last
night, en- route. He discussed at length
the situation between the warning factions.
and was enthusiastic over the prospects OF
his country to force China to accept her
terms. The minister was handed tel
egram, which contained the news Of the
rumored assassination of the King Of Co
1ea 1t was the first advices he had had.
II doubt whether the king was assassi-
mated" yentured the minister. There
would be nothing gained by it. In ease he
is dead, the government of Japan will place
his second son on the throne The pres
ent ruler of Corea is what you Americans
would call no good He will, In all prob
ability be eventually deposed, but in the
proper manner. The Queen of Corea is
very Jealous woman, and it is rumored In
japan that she instituted the sudden death
of concubine who was the mother OF the
second son Of the king. who is heir appar-
ent to the throne. The queen fears she
will lose her influence. The King of Corea
has one legal wife, a chief concubne ana
a large number of other concubines. The
sons of the head coneubine are legitimate
children in line for the throne, the same as
the children of the queen proper.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL.
IN ImI Ortant Liquor Case to BE Set.
tied Next Week.


Next week. IN the Police Court, Prose-
cutting Attorney Pugh will have to defend
the liquor law against an attack which Is
to be made by Lawyer Joseph Shillington.
and the question the court will have to de-
eide is one of much interest to the liquor
sellers who do business under a retail Ii
cense and who sell liquor to be taken away
or delivered to the purchasers. The Ques-
ton to be raised is whether or not a retail
dealer is permitted under the law to make
sales not to be drunk on the premises.
Mr.. Pugh, for the District, will contend
that they have no such right under the
law. Under this contention saloon keeper
has no right to sell pint of liquor in a
bottle and allow it to be taken off the
of serving people who rush the growler''
unless he has a wholesale license in addi-
ton to the retail license.
Under the law wholesale dealer has the
right to sell liquor in quantities not less
than one pint, not to be drunk the
premises. and the license fee for this is
$3.50.
In making the distinction between whole
sale and retail places the law says: Every
place where Intoxicating liquors are sold
to be drunk on the premises shall, for the'
purposes of this act, be considered bar
room"
The act regulating sales in barrooms pro-
vides that the liquor must be served in
quantities of five gallons or less, to be
drunk on the premises
1t has always been the custom of retail
liquor dealers to sell buckets of beer. to be
taken fl ON their places, and also to sell
pint and half-pint bottles Of whisky and
brandy, to be taken away.
In many saloons pint bottles filled with
liquor are kept in stock, and a sign calling
attention to the fact that the consumers
may need bottle for Sunday is displayed
These sales, the wholesale men claim, in
terfere with their right, and they are COM
planning that they entitled to protection
frcm the retail dealers.
For the purpose of having this point de-
termined Mr.. Pugh has commenced prose-
cution against Herman Thurm, who has
bottling place in connection with his bar
room business.
In order to get evidence in the case Po-
liceman Branson purchased a box Of beer
and had it delivered by the dealer.
As already stated, the question is an in
teresting one to the keepers Of drinking
places, and If the court decides against
them it will result in many of them paying
the $3.50 tax in addition to the 500 which
they now pay for the privilege OF seiing
by the drink. The case will be heard next
week
